Chapter Sixty - FourDesiree.Lois had gone back to her place for three days now and I was all alone by myself again, and I was still job hunting, although I had already gotten interviews but I still applied until I was sure I already secured a job..The lacrosse game Killian told me about was in two days. I couldn't wait for it to come already. Seeing someone inviting me to a game I hadn't played in years is like them saving me from my stay at home lifestyle.I added the last touch up to my lips, picked up my bags and dashed out of the house..The sun was doing so much justice to my skin . I walked down the street to get coffee before I headed to my interview.“One cup of coffee please with milk!”I placed my order..There is nothing that is more soothing than sitting and seeing people enjoy and go about their day to day life.In about five minutes my coffee came in just exactly as I wanted it, so I sipped it and headed out of the coffee shop. I flagged down an Uber and left.A few h
Chapter Sixty -FiveKillianFinally I woke up and for the first time in four days, I felt like myself once again, strong and healthy, migraines free and I was starting to get my appetite back .I jumped out of bed with my feets very happy and solid…I prayed a lot since I was on the sick bed.I made sure I called Desiree everytime because I was sternly advised to stay at home till I saw noticeable recoveries…I was in the mood to do a lot…Good health is indeed a blessing!!!I felt like the world was about to end when I was bedridden and not able to go to work.. I picked up my comb and brushed down my hair to the back giving me a sleek look I and Raphael were going out to get a few things for the wedding… but before then we decided to have a little fun.We were first going to head out house hunting for Raphael..Not necessarily house hunting, he bought the house already, and we were going to check it.He and Gwen were fully relocating to Chicago.The wedding was in three weeks time
Chapter Sixty-SixDesireeHe threw a glass cup at me ??? I kept recalling the scene over and over…Was he angry or was he just in his emotions ?? I sunk lower into the bathtub…I just started to wish for a lot of things not to have happened.What would have happened if that thing had hit my head for real??Sylvester had been blowing up my phone, and texting telling me how sorry he was.Sorry???He literally was about to burst my brain.Was that what Killian was warning me about the whole time??He didn't even seem bothered about Sylvester at all, it just seemed like Sylvester no longer existed to him.I sunk my head back into the bathtub again!!!I was slowly driving myself into self hate…Killian warned me…I just didn't listen…Who was even worse between the both…I touched my ear where the glass cup had slightly hit.The trauma I had due to what's happened with Sylvester the previous day had me on chokehold What was that????Why did he do it???I finally decided to get your of the
Chapter Sixty - Seven DesireeI wanted to tell him but that meant he was either Sylvester was going to be punched to stupor or he was going to end up broken physically.“Nothing!” I replied, controlling my tears, and swallowing every emotion that could give away what was going on.“Desiree please ….talk to me!” No I couldn't…“I just feel really tired that's all!” I lied Killian pulled me into another hug and as usual planted a kiss on my head.“Don't hide anything from me, ever!” He pleaded I nodded my head to respond to him..“I can see you are in shorts today Mr Donovan!” I pointed out..“Tell me something I don't know, you find me attractive in this outfit?” He smirked.“Don't flatter yourself Killian!” I took my seat back on the couch. “I will come pick you up, tomorrow miss Desiree I hope you are ready for tomorrow's game!” “You have no idea!” I teased.I escorted him to the door and for the last time he reminded me.“Desiree, don't hide anything from me, ever!” He repeat
Chapter Sixty - EightDesiree“Your brother?” She exclaimed..“You are the lady that plays lacrosse?” He look shocked Yes I earned that medal duhhhh….“Yes I am, it's so nice meeting you, and Gwen!” I extended my hands towards him and his wife.“You guys look so alike!” I whispered into Killian's ears.“But you love me more!” He smirked..I gave him a friendly punch.“He looks 21!” I whispered..“Did you notice that?” Killian went off topic.“What is that?” “My heart just skipped a beat!” He took my hand and placed it on his chest.What is wrong with him???I smiled at his action and we stared into each other's eyes..“Thank you!” He voiced..“For what?” I asked confused.“For coming to this game with me, I had no intentions of coming before cause there's no one to cheer with, and also I had no idea that Raphael was coming home!” “There's nothing wrong in cheering alone, you can be the odd one sometimes here, watch!”.I stood on my seat and shouted at the top of my voice ..“BREAK
Chapter Sixty - NineDesireeWe walked to the snack truck in the school and bought a few snacks and started to head back to the game.Honestly I was enjoying Gwen's company.“This tastes really nice!” Gwen said as she took a scoop of her ice cream.“What is your area of expertise?” I curiously asked her.“I love to smile and I love love skydiving!” She responded…Even though that wasn't what I entirely meant but It was fun to know she has such an interesting hobby.“Wait, that wasn't why you meant right??” She finally realised.“No but it's fun to know that you have such a risky sport as skydiving!” “Oh it's so fun, the wind in your hairs and the freedom, besides my area of expertise, I'm a tech lady, I studied cyber security!” Wow it's not everyday I see someone in the tech industries, yeah they are much out there but I have never had one this close.“I don't know what that is but it sounds cool!” “Yeah it's cool until you have some weird clients!” She expressed the annoyance on h
Chapter SeventyKillian'“So you are the lady that plays lacrosse?” Raphael asked Desiree after I introduced them both to each other.Desiree was very much shocked I had told her about my brother but she definitely didn't know she was meeting him soon.I know she thinks she wasn't prepared for it, but I knew she was going to do just fine.It was all fun until I had nothing to say that she was, which in turn I decided I was going to finally ask her out…I was already scared at the thought of that but hey, it's better I give that a try??What if she had been waiting for me??“You both have such striking resemblance!” Desiree noted.That was a flex I guess when they interviewed my brother on the street and told him they will like to give him more beauty, I'm sure he said;“No double it and give it to the next person!”Which is me!!! But I'm glad when people say you look like your brother….“But you like me more!” I smirked.I caught from the corner of my eyes how blushed she was.“Thank
Chapter Seventy-OneKillianI took her to the coach and we had just five minutes to the second half.“Here can she play for the team?” Desiree looked so ready, the look on her face she looked like she was about to take down the whole foundation of the field.“She's not a student but in occasions like this there's no any option than to take a volunteer, but a lady, this is lacrosse and it's rough!” The coach warned.I had confidence in her but those bulwarks kids are aggressive and their coach is crazy!!“I will!” Desire defended herself….The coach took a look at her again already knowing his thoughts and concern.“Okay let me get you your jersey!” .The coach walked off leaving I, Desiree, Raphael and Gwen.“Promise me again that you will play safe or else I'm coming there and shutting down the whole stadium if anything goes wrong!” I promised..And I meant it!!!“A bruise on the knee or less nothing more!” She assured.“Lacrosse girl, break their legs!”Raphael motivated her.“No br
