Episode 20

Gideon clenched his fists

“Why are you always looking for trouble?”Gideon asked irritated

“Why? Cause someone stole what’s supposed to be mine”Dylan replied

“Cut that crap Dylan.You were the one coming to take what’s not yours”

Lisa spoke up

“You guys know each other?”

“Yes we do. He’s my stepbrother”Dylan replied

Lisa was shocked

“No I’m not your stepbrother. You were never related to me”Gideon countered

“I am your father’s legitimate son Gideon. Lisa,how come you know this guy?”Dylan asked

“Cause he’s my friend”Lisa replied walking over to Gideon but Dylan dragged her back to where she stood before

“What’s your problem Dylan?”Lisa was getting angry now

“My problem is that you prefer that son of a bch to me”

Lisa gasped

Gideon walked up to Dylan

“I have tolerated enough from you Dylan. One more insult from your mouth then you’ll rot in jail”

Dylan laughed

“Oh I’m petrified”He said in sarcasm

“Dylan so this is who you really are? I can’t believe I was friends with a loser like you”Lisa said and walked up to Gideon

She hugged him and anger flashed in Dylan’s eyes

“I’m sorry for what he said”She apologized

“It’s nothing”Gideon shrugged

“Let’s go”Lisa held his hands and they left

Dylan stood there in anger. Why must she like Gideon instead of him?

Why won’t Gideon stop taking things that belonged to him? He concluded inwardly that he won’t let Gideon get away with this

Gideon opened the car door for Lisa and she entered. He drove her to an amusement park. That was their hang out most times.

Lisa knew he wasn’t happy. She sat on the swing and beckoned for him to sit beside her. He obeyed and sat close to her.

“Gideon”She called him quietly and it melted his heart right away

“Hmm?”Was his reply

“I know you’re not happy with what just happened and I’m sorry”

“It’s not your fault”He said

“It’s partly my fault” She bent her head

Gideon used his index finger to raise her jaw up so that she would face him

“Lisa,can I ask you a question?”

She nodded

“Do you have feelings for Dylan?”His voice shook as he asked

“No I don’t” She replied

He was relieved to hear that

“I was scared today”

“Why?”

“I thought Dylan was going to take you away from me”

Lisa smiled

“No one is gonna take me away from you”

Immediately she said that,Gideon kssed her

She gasped cause it was unexpected but she kssed him back anyway. His lips were so soft she couldn’t get enough of it.

After what seemed like eternity,both pulled out gasping for breath.

“First kss right?”He asked and she nodded

Lisa looked at him and smiled

“Lisa…I know it’s sudden but…Will you be my girlfriend?”

She looked at him in shock

“Me?”

“Yeah” He was nervous

“Yes Yes I will”

Gideon was filled with joy

He hugged her

“Thanks” He said and kissed her forehead

“You’re welcome”She smiled

They chatted for awhile before leaving.

THE NEXT DAY…

ADAMS FAMILY MANSION

Adams came home to meet his mum. He was lucky she was home that day. The first person he met when he entered the living room was Emily-his troublesome cousin. She was 16 years old,tall and beautiful with cute eyes and dimples when she laughs. She had a long and thick black hair. Friendly but annoying sometimes.

She sat on the couch watching an American movie when Adams entered. Immediately she saw him,she stood up and ran to hug him.

“Welcome bro.Adams. Have you come to see me?”

“No Emily,I came to see my mum”He replied purposely looking for her trouble

“So you don’t care about me?”She asked

“Of course I do. You’re my niece”

“How many times do you want me to say this? I am not your niece. I’m your cousin” She stomped her feet

“I prefer calling you my niece”

“I’m not your niece. Aunt Natasha!!! Your son is troubling me”She shouted as Adams mum came downstairs

“Adams quit troubling Emily”

“Mum she started it”Adams grumbled and his mum shook her head

“That’s enough. Emily excuse us for some time. I need to talk to your uncle”

She nodded and went upstairs after collecting Adams credit card. God knows the tons of things she’s going to order.

Adams sat on a couch beside his mum

“So sweetie what is it?”Natasha asked

“Mum I need your help”

Natasha observed her son and smiled

“It’s a girl right?”

He nodded

“Wow is it that beautiful lady I saw you dancing with and staring at in the office that day?”

“Yes”

“I knew it. So you’re taking her on a date?”

“Yes mum and I’m nervous. I don’t know what to do”

“Just calm down okay? You just have to take it slow. Don’t rush things when you’re talking to her. Your approach determines whether she’ll agree or not. So be nice”

Adams nodded.

They talked for a while before he stood up to leave.

Emily came out of the room with her bag and followed him. He tried stopping her but the girl was adamant so he allowed her.

After leaving the mansion,he called Annabel and told her to leave work and go get ready that he was taking her out for dinner in the evening.

Annabel obeyed even though she didn’t comprehend what was happening or what he was planning this time.

She got home and did some chores before Lisa got back from school.

She noticed that Lisa has been more cheerful than before since yesterday and decided to ask what was going on.

Lisa was hesitant for a while before answering

“Gideon asked me out”

Annabel smiled

“Really?”

“Yeah. ”

“Wow congrats”

“Thanks”

“Make sure you don’t try anything naughty”Annabel warned

Lisa rolled her eyes

“Seriously?”

“Yes” Annabel replied and Lisa smiled

“Trust me. I won’t. Now tell me why you’re home early today”

“Adams said I should come get ready that he’s taking me out for dinner”

Lisa gasped

“He’s going to propose love to you”

“That’s a lie Lisa. It’s just a normal dinner”

“Normal dinner? No it’s not”

“It is. Now if you would excuse me,I’m going to get ready”

Annabel went to her room and took her bath. After that she put on a simple blue gown and packed her hair in a ponytail

Lisa walked into the room and gasped

“What are you wearing?”

Annabel was confused

“A gown of course”

“You can’t wear this to the dinner. Look at you”

“What’s wrong with it?”

“Everything Annie. Now take off that gown”

Annabel took the gown off while Lisa searched through her wardrobe and brought out a beautiful red gown. She gave it to Annabel and she put it on.

After that,she applied some makeup on Annabel’s face and brought her hair down in waves. Then,she gave her black hills and black handbag to match.

“Done”She said and took Annabel to the mirror

Annabel gazed into the mirror and gasped. She looked stunning.

“Lisa isn’t this a little bit much?”

“No you’re perfect. Now go”

Annabel hugged her and stepped out of the house to wait for Adams to come pick her up.

Bella came and met her there

“Hi Annabel”Bella smiled

“Bella what are you doing here?”

“I came to apologize for how I treated you that day. I never knew Charlotte was only using me”

“Using you?”Annabel twitched her brows

“It’s a long story. Anyways I’ve also come to warn you to be very careful. Charlotte is dangerous and she’s coming for you”

“Are you serious or you’re trying to trick me?”

“I’m very serious. Please stay away from her. I’ll be on my way now”

“Wait. Why are you helping me?”Annabel asked

“I’m on a quest for payback. By the way you look beautiful”Bella said and left

MEANWHILE…

IN A RESTAURANT???

Richard sat on the chair waiting for the lady his parents had prepared for him while his parents stood beside him.

“Is this really necessary mum?”He asked

“Yes son”Mrs.Claire Maxwell replied and his father Mr.Maxwell added

“Don’t worry Richard you’ll love her”

He scoffed

Outside the restaurant,a big range rover pulled over in front and Alexa got down followed by her parents. She walked up to them maybe she can still make them change their minds.

“Mum,Dad…I know you love me but please can’t you reconsider? I don’t love that guy. I like someone else”

“Alexa we understand your plight but there’s no going back now”Mrs.Brianna Benson said

“Just be a good girl for daddy okay?”Mr.Benson Patted her head

Alexa sighed and entered the restaurant

Her parents led her to the table where Richard and his parents were

When they got there,Alexa came face to face with Richard

Both were shocked and relieved at same time

“Richard”

“Alexa”

Their parents were surprised

“You know each other?”Mrs. Maxwell asked

“Yes mum. She’s the lady I told you guys about”Richard said and stood up from his seat

Alexa ran and hugged him while their parents stared in admiration.

Fate wanted them together.

Adams came by to pick Annabel up

When he saw her,he froze

Wow she looked beautiful. He never expected her to be this radiant in makeup

Annabel noticed his stare and became nervous

“Stop looking at me like that”She muttered

“I’m sorry. You look beautiful”

“Thanks”

“Shall we?”He opened the door of the car and she entered

He drove them to a very beautiful restaurant.

Annabel looked round the restaurant,this must be a first class restaurant she thought

Adams reserved the VIP table for them and they sat down.

A waiter came and took their order

After they were served and started eating,Adams began

“You look beautiful this evening”

She smiled

“Thank you. You don’t look too bad yourself”

“Thanks.”

He smiled and she smiled back

“Annabel”He called

“Yes?”

“There is something I’ve been meaning to tell you but I was scared cause I don’t know how you’re gonna take it”

Annabel dropped her spoon

“What’s that?”She asked getting nervous

“Annabel,this might sound crazy to you but I have to say it. Annabel l lo…”

Her phone rang

“Sorry it’s my dad. I need to take this”

“No problem”

She smiled and stood up to the other side

She picked the call and her countenance changed immediately as tears rolled down her cheeks

“No tell me you’re joking”

Adams saw her and walked up to her

She couldn’t control her tears

“Which hospital please?” She asked before the phone fell from her hands

She rushed to the table and took her handbag

“What happened?”Adams asked

“My…my dad…”She choked on her words

“Come on I’ll drop you at the hospital”Adams said and she nodded and followed him
