Chapter Thirty-TwoKillian“Sir Miss Desiree has refused to accompany me to your house!” Alex voiced over the phone.Quite expected.“What does she want this time?” I asked “Alex speak to me!” I ordered “She said she will only accompany me to your place if Sylvester comes along!” “What?”...“Is Sylvester there with her?”.“No, I don't think so sir!”.I thought for a while on why I could do . I can't stand Sylvester and God knows there is no way he's around that I won't be fighting the urge to just beat him up.“Alex, tell her I will be coming over to her place, but I want you to stay outside the building to make sure nobody goes in or out of her apartment!”I ended the call with Alex. Just within the space of four days she was starting to trust Sylvester more than me.Doesn't she see that he is a hypocrite?!!“Do you need anything sir?” One of the hostess on the plane asked “Just a cup of water!” She disappeared off and came back in less than two minutes with a bottle of water an
Chapter Thirty-threeDesireeMy heart racing just with his touch, this man has an effect on me and it is unexplainable.I wanted to hug him at the sight of him but I remembered everything Sylvester had told me.I just wanted to ask but I wouldn't go down without a fight!!“What are you doing here?” I asked, walking myself to the couch.“You would at least tell me how you are feeling after downing a whole bottle of wine!”..Who does he think he is!!!I eyed the bottle from where I was seated.“I'm fine Killian!”...“Is this all part of the ‘I want you to hate me scheme’?” “What are you talking about?”..He just arrived here and he's asking me questions already.“Why were you with Sylvester yesterday?”...“It's private!” I lashed back.“You know you don't just go around talking to strangers and think it's all fun!” “Killian I hope you know you can't control me just because you are sleeping with me!”.“Stop saying that!!” He voiced.I rolled my eyes at his remark, like he cares!!!!He'
Chapter Thirty FourKillianIf there was one thing I knew about Desiree, it is when she lies, how she lies and why she lies.She necessarily does not lie because she's scared she lies because she's marinating the truth in a box of comeback weapons.“You are lying!” I blatantly countered.There was no way she would stay right in front of me and lie with her eyes telling me more than I needed to hear.“Tell me everything you heard!” I commanded in a soft tone.I mean why would anyone keep me in suspense because you wanted to ask why I came all the way from Hong Kong to Chicago.She knew so well that I care about her, so why that question, I am everything but dumb and insensitive.I just choose to ignore it.“What do you mean?” She stammered.I know that a goat called Sylvester told her a lot of things..How did she even know about Vanessa!???All of these had Sylvester's handwriting on it.“Someone told you something and you are hiding it from me, Desiree you know me, Don't lie to me!”
Chapter Thirty FiveDesireeThe more I thought I knew who Killian is, the more he showed me a side of him that just blew my mind and wrote off everything that I thought I knew about him.He stepped back glaring at me, his hands pocketed, there was no way he just switched moods..Last minute he was emotional and caring , the next he was staring at me like he was dissecting a way to end me.“What!” I asked taking a step towards him.Still nothing.He just stood there tall, staring at me, unable to process what could be going through his mind.Was he angry??Was he calm??Or was he just ….I didn't know what else to think.“Sylvester……. Immediately the word came.out of my mouth, he instantly made his way to me and planted me into a deep hug..What???What was all of that????“I'm sorry I doubted you!!!” He apologised.Killian Donovan does not apologise, even if he does, it's deeply coated in sarcasm.“What?” I managed to ask while he still held me in deep hug.“I said I'm sorry I didn't
Chapter Thirty SixKillianBeautiful isn't enough to describe how gorgeous she looked. My hands were itching to touch her and I just drew in my lungs the scent on her skin and hair.She looked adorable…“Are you ready??? I asked her, placing my hand In front of her to hold.She grabbed softly onto my hand and her skin felt soft on mine.It felt like I was just discovering how beautiful she is, for the first time.The messy bun she had on her and the little details of hair she let out..How can someone be this gorgeous…“I guess I am!” She responded, dashing me a smile from her perfect set of teeth.I was totally losing for the second time that day.The first time was when I saw her eyes, they sparked like fire.“One of the things I love about you Desiree, is your confidence!” I complimented..I wasn't saying this just casually, I meant every bit of my words, every breath that came out of my mouth, every one of my words was purposeful.I guess she had felt so insecure about her eyes a
Chapter Thirty SevenDesiree..My cheeks flushed at his commentary, I felt my brains were going to explode sooner if Killian kept coming at me like that with his words that don't seem to end without being sugary..“That's what I thought!” But I really still hoped he didn't waste my time. There were a lot of things I could do, sleep, eat and a lot more.The look on his face whenever I did something he didn't expect like when I jumped down the stairs on every occasion I got.I couldn't have jumped all at once, that would be a suicide mission..Jumping the stairs was a little tricky, I learnt from an old friend.Very old friend.“I can't believe you jumped that many stairs in 25 seconds!” He gushed as he pulled the car to a start.“It's normal!”...“Normal??? You call that Normal, are you okay?” He exclaimed testing out my temperature with the back of his palm.“Stop it already, I'm fine!”...“Wait, are you human?” He asked.“What…no I'm ... .an alien yes and I want to take you to my pl
Chapter Thirty EightDesireeWe walked back into the hotel with my mind still reminiscing on what Killian said.“I wish for peace!”...I don't know why but it stuck to me more than everything he had been saying for the whole time.We held hands as we walked back into the path where we were just fifteen minutes ago, we walked silently not a word from each other I wondered what could be going on through his mind.We stepped into the elevator and it was awkwardly quiet “Why do you love black so much?* I asked him, catching his face lit up in his reflection on the elevator wall.“Why are you so beautiful?” He teased…Killian was going all in for me and he knew exactly what he was doing.“Well I mean, one can say black explains how colourful a soul can be??” “Is that supposed to be sarcasm?” I asked.“No, I mean it!”“Black is ... . black I mean nothing is in its just dark!”..“Black can also mean darkness, and darkness covers even the most colourful things when it comes!” He smirked.
Chapter Thirty NineKillianThe more I was with her, the more I wanted to show her things I dared not show anyone, I was becoming vulnerable.I stared long into the sky, thinking that that wishing star I wished upon many years ago forgot my prayers.“So what did you wish for?” She asked.“I asked the wishing star for peace!” I replied, she looked at me like I had grown two heads.My definition of peace was just way different from my mom's, she had a total representation of peace that was not in any way close to mine.Seeing wishing start was a thing of joy for me when I was a kid, I mean Beautiful things from space coming to give the earth temporary light that burns out in seconds.“Mom, what burns bright but temporarily like the meteorites that hit earth?”... My teenage self asked my mom.That question till date I didn't know where it came from it just came to mind and I knew I had to ask it.She sat me down while she handed me a painting brush.“Love that isn't love!” She replied.
