I couldn't stand the look on her face. The shock, the worry, the disappointment, all emotions were very evident on her face and she did not try to hide any of it.In my distorted state, I saw as she shook herself off her emotions and looked at me. She cleared her throat and said'I'll take it from here. You can go now" and then she tried to take me from Aurora like I was a burden she was eager to get rid of but the young girl was not going to have any of it. "Hey, what do you mean? I Brought him from the bar and I intend to ensure that he gets home safely, so no, I won't be leaving him anytime soon.""Are you daft? Can't you see that this is his house and he obviously does not need you to be around because I am here, I will take him in. Now get out!" It was one of those priceless moments that I had seen Olivia be angry and possessive about me. It was a beautiful moment but only if she had known that Aurora was not an easy meat to chew, maybe, just maybe she would have put in more ef
I didn't know Aurora from Adam but I knew very well that she was the type that could kill a man if she wanted Olivia, even with her anger could not stand defending herself against Aurora and it was evident. I knew that Aurora would hurt her and I would feel the pain more than expected. I could not allow that to happen. I needed to do something and I needed to be fast before my sister would be injured. 'Stop it!' I used my last will power to scream out and like little children who heard their mother scream, they both stopped immediately. "Now I have been silent for a very long time but I will not have any of you hurt yourselves simply because you are upset. I maybe drunk but I am most definitely not blind and I know for a fact that both of you are wrong but I also know that both of you are very stubborn and you are not going to apologise to each other so the is no need in me wasting my time." "But Daniel.." Olivia tried to cut in "I don't care about any of that okay. I don
I went to bed that night, still not knowing which feeling I should be focused on but when I woke up, I decided that anger was more important.I wasted no time in finishing up with my chores because i was eager to get out of the house before he woke up but unfortunately, luck was not on my side at that moment. As soon as I stepped out, Daniel was sitting at the kitchen counter drinking a bottle of water."Oh so happy that you finally know your way out of your room now," I gave my snide comment but he just looked up at me and then went back to drinking his water.I was shocked. Was he really going to ignore me after the nonsense that he did? But maybe he did not know that he had done such stupid things. That would go a long to explaining why he felt it was right to actually shut up when he should be apologising.But then again, he wasn't the type to really apologise and I did not know why I was expecting anything different from him.But still, I was not going to take this lying down.
I couldn't talk. The words were stuck in my throat and they struggled to find their way out. As I stood there watching this man who was my brother claim to be in love with me, I was at a loss for words.I knew that it could be possible. I would not completely object to it but the more I thought about it, the more I wondered if I was not just lying to myself, the more I got a headache.But now, he stood there telling me that i was right to believe that my own blood brother could actually be in love with me and that scared me."You ain't gonna say nothing, right?" He asked but I still could not open my mouth to talk."Of course. I knew it was a waste of time talking to you." He walked away and an alarm went on in my brain. He was walking away and I was letting him. I had never sat down to think about what I would do if it turned out that Daniel actually cared about me.All I ever did was doubt that it could happen and keep hating on him so I would not fall badly in love with him. But t
I couldn't think of school. Nothing there was of any interest to me and so I went to the balcony and sat there, hoping that at any moment Daniel would come out and tell me that he understands why I would say such and he would kiss me.It was at that point that I knew that I was indecisive. I could not pick between Daniel and Alex. I wanted them both to keep dying over me and I love the attention and power it gave me.Slowly, I had become the one thing I always hated. It was not a pleasant thing to experience. The worst part was that even when the feeling was so conflicted, I still loved every bit of it. As I allowed the cold morning breeze to touch my skin, I heard my doorbell ringing and I wondered why Ivy would be ringing the door bell instead of just walking in like she usually did when we were in high school.Sighing, I stood up and walked towards the door and opened it for her. "Girl, why did you do that?' I asked. "I didn't know if he was walking around without his shirt on.
Ivy was quick to notice the change in my appearance and she snapped her finger thinking that maybe, just maybe I was looking out because I was scared of something. "Liv, I am right here. What are you looking out there for?" She asked me as she tried to look out as well but she could not see what could make me pause and the colour drain from my face. "What's going on now?" She asked me."It's them," she heard me respond quietly and I could see that she was wondering what I was talking about. She looked out the window again but still could not see what I was seeing. "Who?" "The girls that Daniel is using to taunt me. I don't know if I am seeing well but if these girls are both competiting for Daniel's affection, aren't they supposed to be enemies? Why does it look like they are very good friends who knows each other from way back?' I asked still watching them. They had taken a stance and were discussing in what I would like to say was hushed tones. I had to figure out what was actua
Ivy and I moved speedily and we were able to get out of the section we were in without them seeing us. But unfortunately, we could not get out of the mall because suddenly, they had a security guard mount there and one of the service girls came up to us. "Ma, please stop running round in the mall. You may destroy our merchandise and if you do, you will have to pay. And seeing as you want to run out, it means you can't afford anything here."She looked at us like we were disgusted pigs in her eyes and I could not even blame her. It was obvious to all that we did not have the kind of money needed to shop in a place like that but we were not there for shopping and I was just grateful that we got what we were looking for and I was not going to allow anyone to ruin that for me. "We understand ma, we will try to not run anymore," I said softly and smiled at her. the woman did not smile back but she moved away and I could not help but wonder what she would actually do to me if she realised
I did not know how he was able to find me, neither did I know why he was trying to defend me after everything that I have done to him. But Alex was known to be a gentleman and so he stood tall, ready to defend me even when it looked like I was the one with the biggest of problems. His heroic act was being ruined by Stacy's demanding laughter. All eyes turned to look at her again and she was not trying to hide the fact that she was totally disgusted by our presence in her uncle's shop. "Oh please young man. You cannot possibly think that I am going to allow you scare me in my own uncle mall, right? You have no right in here and I don't care who you are but you are going to have the learn the hard way." She did not look scared and I knew why. Alex was just a nobody trying to pretend to be a somebody. he had no name in society and he had no money. Maybe that was why he agreed us to eating with Daniel, so that Daniel could pay. it also explains why he kept taking me to shabby places f
