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.
Chapter FortyDesireeWhere could he possibly be??One moment I turn around and he is gone!!I walked down the passage way, and I instantly remembered where we were last time.I rushed out to the balcony and I met him there but he was bent down and his face was down.“What is wrong?” I voiced loud enough for him to hear me.“Don't come closer than that!” He wanted.The moment he spoke I coultfeel his voice shaking.Why would his voice be shaking?“Why?” I asked taking another step further.“I said….please don't come closer!” He warned again this time he tried to hide the nervousness in his voice.That was when it hit me…Killian was crying and trying so hard to hide it from me.I went quiet so I could listen to his breathing and his breathing confirmed to me that he was indeed crying.What could have made him want to cry ???Never had I ever thought I would see him crying not in a thousand life time.I closed the gap between us and bent down to meet his height.He was surprised seeing
Chapter Forty oneDesiree“I'm glad I was able to see you again my baby” my mom expressed as we made our way down to the garage where Killian's car was packed.“Same here mom and I would really miss you!” Killian was going to drop my mom off because she had checkups the following day she needed to meet up with the doctor and she prefers to be where she was registered.She hugged me and I wished she wouldn't go.“Mum, I promise I will find a way to come see you!” I assured her.“All I want for you is to be safe!” She advised..“And besides your…. friend here will send my regards to you!” ..“Mooom..you know I can call you Also,. Killian is not the only one who has a phone!” I said sarcastically, glaring at Killian who was just smiling sheepishly.My mom went ahead to also give Killian a hug.“Mi hijo!” She expressed and patted him on the back..“Mom, he doesn't speak Spanish!”. I stated.“Yo hablo Espanol!” Killian spoke in Spanish.My head was blown!!!!!!There were times I spoke in
Chapter Forty TwoKillianWhen I walked back into the party I was feeling refreshed and confident.I found my eyes looking around for Desiree and I spotted her just at the far end of the room with her mom…If I didn't have a mom I would have said I didn't understand how much Desiree loves her mom.It was such a wonderful night and I had fun even though I didn't drink. I had fun just seeing Desiree have fun with her mom and her best friend Lois, with the people she loves so much.I never thought I was going to feel content at all in life, but for the first time I felt content, I felt fulfilled.I looked down on my laptop as I replied to emails upon emails, I knew I wasn't going to sleep anytime soon!!I looked back at Desiree who was in the kitchen trying to get something to eat. She had also asked me if I was Interested in satisfying my belly. I respectfully declined. I was way more than satisfied already, off of what???Off of one glass of fruit wine I had at the party.“Is anything
Chapter Forty-Three DesireeIt had been three days since I last saw Killian and it had been almost a week since I saw Sylvester even though we lived in the same building.I finished mixing the dough for my doughnuts and placed it in the oven.One of the things I learnt early from my mom was cooking, literally anything, I could cook desserts, traditional and everyday food.My mom is someone whose major job is to cook. She does it as a mother and she also does it as a full time job until she got sick and one of the things we talked about was her cooking job which she was going to resume a week after she had fully recovered.My mom would never ever be distanced from cooking because she loves it with all of heart.Cooking is an art, an art of making anything and everything taste good and very healthy.I poured myself a glass of wine and went back to the living room, I launched my laptop and started looking for more Job opportunities.I recalled the last time I had a glass of wine and how
Chapter Forty-four Killian “Did you find anything yet about him???” I asked Alex as I made my way into the office.“Yes sir I did find something!” “Go on with it!” I opened the door to my office. The sight of a clean office makes me want to even work more.“Micheal Rudolph Anwar is a police officer, 32 years of age, and he was in charge of the case Desiree was engaged in!”“Hmmm, thank you!” I replied. He went back to work and went about our daily activities.Why was Micheal calling Desiree, why was she reaching out. I recalled the message that had popped up on her phone.It had been over a month since that Harry guy showed up and that was the main reason I made Desiree move.I replied to a few emails and I was ready for Michael's file to be sent.“Send me his file!” I asked Alex and immediately the file landed on my side “Now let's see who we have here!” I muttered to myself scrolling through his file.He looked pretty handsome and I felt a tight knot on my chest knowing that th
