Kimberly POV
“Do you have a mate?”
She looked at me like I'm a clone and then she busted out laughing.
What was funny? She asked me to ask anything right? “Stop laughing Nora, this is a very serious question please just answer me”
Her laughter receded with her hands up in a plea “Sorry babe, I'm just caught off guard by that question but it's alright I understand your amazement.” she heaved in breathe and pushed the clothe she brought for me aside to sit close to me.
“If you are asking because of my brother, then I will assure you that it happens with everyone at a different point in life. I've not found my mate yet. I don't know why, maybe because I've been running away from it and also because I've not been steady at home, but I'm certain once I'm ready for it, I will meet him”
“But I thought your mate is meant to find you?” I asked still confused, If not m
Kimberly POV“What is going on here? Why are you in that position?” he said coming closer? I rolled up my eyes and stood up to the bed.“You have a problem with knocking on doors or you feel you can walk in anywhere you deem fit? What if I was naked or better still your sister was” I berated him with my hands folding on my chest.His glimmer increased and he came into the room. What an oaf!“You often call me that. I'm beginning to think it's my pet name”Great! I unfolded my hand and relaxed back on the bed.“ Brother, I think she's your match. You remember when I often tell you one day you would meet your match that would put you in your place?”“Yea. What a great reminder...Now I'm worried” he sat on the armchair by the window his figure amassing all the space. Just by coming into the room, the place now had his aura saturating everywhere like some dark cloud.&
Leonard POV“What is this I'm perceiving and how come it smells so godly? I bet my life on it that it's not you” I pointed at Nora “that is making this meal”She eyed me and feigned pained by my words. “That's not fair bro. I make cool meals too” I formed being hit by her lie and jumped back.“Okay that's a lie but still it's very unfair for you to say that. I'm trying to learn”“You should learn my dear sister coz I'm no longer making any meals for you. Or you employ a chef since you were bold enough to fire the one I employed for you”“She was inefficient. You need to see her heaping all her emotional shortcomings on me. Maybe that was what made her food less tasty to me. Who does that?”“Maybe you shouldn't be too hard on servants. Remember Monica at home. You nearly upturned a pot of porridge on her too”She seemed frowned
Kimberly POVI checked out myself for the umpteenth time at the mirror to make sure that I was up to boot with my dress, and makeup. Nora had lent me a gown after I had told her about the outing for that evening. She was out now with the flurry guy leaving me and Leonard.After I met him at the study, I had given him one look and ran off. I didn't even know what took me in that direction of the house before I had discovered him. Blame it on my hormones that needed to look at those glass eyes and intimidating pose.He had called after me but I refused to stop because I knew if I went close to him, I would as usual fall prey to his wandering hands that never stops teasing me and yet refused to satiate me.My lip was glistening due to the gloss I applied. I pouted and smiled at the pose and favorable application. Thanks to Nora I would be looking close to perfect this evening.I had wanted to call Sandy earlier on and tell her about our ou
Kimberly POVMeet with Adrian When we entered the fancy restaurant everywhere was cozy and Smoove and filled with dimmed light fixtures numbering the place in a tranquil semblance. “Kimberly!” I heard Sandy's voice before I saw her run across the room to me. I smiled and returned the hug as she crushed me in her softness. “It's okay now funny bear. You are stifling me” I crooned from her neck. She giggled and pulled away. “Look at you, I've missed you so much. You don't know how expectant I've been to see you tonight” “Miss me?” I huffed and rolled my eyes, “We have hardly spent 48hours apart.” She made a face “Does that mean you didn't miss me. What is wrong with you?” she was bickering and I was letting her get into my head that we
Kimberly POV After we left the restaurant and went home. Yeah, back to Nora's place again. I so hate myself. I have tons of assignments to submit and yet I let him spoon me around like some idiot. “I will change and then we will go to your house and take care of whatever it is, you need to do so that you can be happy” I beamed “really?” He smiled “yea, of course. You have an assignment tight. I heard that. Do you share courses, with Nora?” he inquired as we climbed to his room. “Yea. Why?” “How is she doing in school? is she Improving? or do you think she would need extra help?” Seriously I didn't see that coming but to be frank, Nora is one of our best students and I wonder how because I've never found her head embedded
Leonard POV“What were you doing?” I asked my sister. I was on my way to call on Rosa so that we would go and do whatever she said she wanted to do at home, after waiting for so long in the room for her.I was almost approaching the door when I heard the voices. I was taken aback that Nora would want to tell Rosa about our parents when she knows how much I'm trying to make her stay with me. What is she trying to do? ruin my life? Send Rosa scurrying away in fear even before I win her heart over?I had barged into the room on time to stop whatever she was about to say with my heartbreak when I saw the frightened look on Rosa’s face. It broke me knowing I would be the one to cause her such fear but I had to do what I could just to make sure she doesn't hear anything that has to do with my parents.They were a nightmare I want to forget happened even though it killed me. Only that I didn't have the power to ext
Kimberly PoVI took the last remaining step to her and crushed her to me in a big hug. She squirmed for a while and then she stopped and held me crying into my shoulders. I felt shitty using her weakness, our weakness against her but I had to do anything. She hated me. That was evident, but I couldn't bear it. I loved when she smiled, laughed did anything, or even smacked me across the face but this was beyond me. Rejection.She extracts herself slowly her teary bleary eyes being into my clouded ones. This was a risk I knew was grave. Even if I tried to calm her so that I could reason with the I couldn't resist when she was like this.Her hand came up and cupped my face in hers. “Please don't ever do that again. You scared me so much”“I swear I would never try that ever again. I messed up and I do a lot when I'm angry but I shouldn't have raised my voice at you. I'm so sorry my love”She nodded and leaned
Kimberly POV“What the fuck are you doing here?” I careened the minute I opened the door.“Leo, who is that? Are you now talking to yourself? Weirdo!”“I'm coming sweetie” she was still in the bedroom.“I just thought I could check on her...Also, I've not seen my mate so I thought to check if she was here” I didn't believe him. I have the ability to know when someone was lying and right now I knew he is. But why? He has been acting very strange lately.First, we fought at the restaurant coz he thinks I'm taking hasty decisions to reunite with my mate. I was bloody angry as hell because he was the last person to expect to say that to me.He knew how long I'd waited and searched until now that the moon goddess decided to give her to me and then he is not on my side. I can't explain what is wrong with him and why he suddenly thinks she's a threat to us since she's human.
