chapter 8.8

Zarie’s POV

    

  I just woke up from my sleep or should I say, my unconscious state.

To be honest, I had no control. 

I looked around the room but no one was present. 

Not that I expected them to watch over me whiles I was unconscious but I just thought they maybe here to enquire from me why I just slipped into unconsciousness. 

 'they maybe downstairs ' I mumbled to myself.

 I decided to go in search of them but what I heard when I was just about turning the door knob made my heart quicken its pace. 

 'Yeah, yeah I get your point very well but she just came into your life so I do not know why you should be worried about her, discovering your past.’ I heard Daisy say. 

  "Her?’ a past?’ Whom are they talking about? I whispered to myself whiles in a dazed state. 

 All my mind could think about was that they were talking about me because who else just came into his life? 

'But'... I heard Zavier say with a mixture of fear and hesitation which triggered my curiosity. 

I wanted to know more. 

Precisely, the one they were talking about. 

  

'Hey bro uumm... Have you thought of telling her yet?' I heard Daisy ask her brother.

'Yeah. I have decided to tell her when we go to meet mum and dad today but Daisy, I.. I am a little bit afraid of what may come after it' Zavier told her sister.

 At this moment, I knew they were talking about me. 

 But what past are they talking about?  

 I cannot risk loosing another.... Zavier added which made me more determined to find out what they are hiding.

  I must admit that when he said he was afraid of loosing another which I strongly believe it would be me, it sent me straight already to cloud nine.  

After hearing all these things that were already making my head ache, I decided to lay on the bed and pretend to have just woken up.

 In just some few minutes, they also entered but I pretended as if I had just woken up and from the look on their face, I knew they were oblivious of the fact that I had been eavesdropping. 

  

Since it was already evening, Daisy suggested to cook dinner but I quickly doubted her cooking skills and told them I would do it

 They hesitated a bit but I continued to insist which made them agree so I went into the walk in closet which was already filled with so many clothes of different brands that, I could not even choose from and what amazed me was how he was able to purchase all these clothes without even knowing by size but surprisingly, so far, everything I have tried on is a perfect fit.

How much more does this fine man know about me. Is he more complicated than what he is letting on?

  

I changed into a denim cut jeans and a black crop top and tied my black hair in a messy bun and slipped on a white fluffy puma slippers.

I never thought my dressing would be a problem until I got downstairs.

I did not fail to notice how Zavier stared at me like a lion, looking at it's prey when I entered the room but me being me as usual, the crazy other part mocked me that it was just one of my wild imaginations and I thinks she maybe was right.

After all, I am very fond of imagining impossibilities to be possibilities.

 'You look sexy my little Zarie' Zavier whispered playfully in my ears which sent a chilling wave down my spine and at that moment, it was my turn to rub my victory in my subconscious’ face.

I was like, yeah I was right bitch!

 One thing I have noticed ever since I met him is that, whenever he is close to me, my heart quickens it's pace as if I had ran a race and also, how my name always rolls off his tongue makes me always shiver and to add to the numerous emotions he awakens in me without even trying, his unique masculine scent almost drives me insane each time he is close enough for me to have a whiff.

The sound of a throat been cleared pulled us out of our wonderful moment and that was able to make me descend from the clouds.   

'Mmmm.. I will go and do the cooking and umm Zavier, I mean, you ugh, no Daisy,...’ and I could not believe I was actually stuttering. 

ugh stupid me stop!

'Relax. will you?' Zavier said as he laughed, clearly amused by how agitated I was. 

'Sorry’ I said and I do not even know the reason why I chose to apologize.

I agree that, there is definitely no doubt now, that I am a complete thickheaded person.

'Honey, what are you sorry for? ' Zavier said as he lowered his head and it seemed for a second to me that he was about to kiss me but it never happened thanks to Daisy. 

'Hey you guys! I am still here you know?' She said with a smirk. 

 In fact, staying with her for a couple of minutes now, I have got to know she is very normal like any other girl.  

'Yeah I was just about to go out' I said as I quickly walked out. 

     

Dinner was very lively with all the little conversations we had whiles eating.

Daisy and Zavier did not say anything about the food which made me a little uncomfortable but after sometime, I mustered courage and asked them what they thought about the food and they all assured me that it was delicious. 

I knew they were not lying because I did not miss the look of honesty on their faces and how Zavier joked about me being his new best cook also calmed my nerves. 

I also got to know that the meeting with their parents had been cancelled because of me being in unconsciousness. 

I quickly apologized because I felt guilty for ruining the meeting with their parents but it seemed they were not bothered about it at all and for once, I thought I saw a look of distaste in Zavier’s eyes when he talked about his parents but I shrugged it off, thinking it may be one of my unnecessary hallucinations. 

Plus one thing that made me feel very disappointed was that, if we could no longer go to their parents’ place then that meant Zavier would not tell me about his past as he said he would if were to go to his parents’ place.

      

After dinner, we had a small chatter in the living room and Daisy decided to leave. 

I told her to sleep over since it was already eight o’clock pm but they told me she lived a few blocks away and it is just some thirty minutes drive. 

No wonder she was able to come here that early and I am really happy that she came because I honestly enjoyed her presence. 

I do not know if she is being this nice to me all because of her brother but I feel very relaxed around her, like I have known her for sometime now.

We said our good byes to her and watched as she drove away. 

 I also said my goodnight to Zavier and decided to retire to my room and end the day.

But I guess Zavier had other plans for the night.
