Dennis walked out of the house and joined Kelsey in the car. He mounted the driver's seat. Kelsey was stamping her left leg slightly.Dennis wrapped the seat belt around him and Kelsey did the same. He cleared his throat loudly and She thought he wasn't done scolding her."When we get to my parent's house, we must be of best behaviour." He said with both hands on the speedometer.Kelsey turned toward him. "You don't have to tell me that Dennis. I'm not going to march into your parent's home and start wrecking things.Dennis sighed. " By being of best behaviour, I mean we need to keep our act straight. We are going there as a couple right so we must act like one."Kelsey nodded. "I understand.""We have to prove to them that we are deeply in love to avoid any form of suspicion so we must be conscious of our words and gestures."Kelsey stopped stamping her leg. "Noted. So is there anything else I should know about?""My parents might ask you questions about me," Dennis said. "Well, I
Kelsey took the utensils to the table and spotted a vacant chair between Dennis and his brother Peter. She pulled the chair and sat after placing the utensils on the table."Help yourself!" Peter said and pushed a bowl before Kelsey. She smiled and uncovered a plate.Peter leaned over and whispered into her right ear. "Don't be shy because it's your first time in our home. Hunger has no emotions so relax and eat to your fill."Kelsey giggled and nodded repeatedly. "Peter, if you are going to crack a joke, you might as well yell it out so everyone can laugh." commented his father."That will be great. I mean, we all deserve to laugh too." Dennis responded.Peter smiled and passed the bowl of sauce his mother just handed him to Kelsey. "I just wanted miss pretty here to feel at home." he blinked.They all set their plates and were soon eating. "Ben, you don't want much sugar in your tea right?" Kate asked her husband."You know I like it Kate but you still went ahead and asked. Of cou
Kelsey's eyes widened and a surprised expression covered her face. She wanted to scream at Dennis for not informing her prior about his journey but she decided to keep her cool. They were standing before his parents after all. Why didn't he tell her about his trip? How could he take such a decision about her stay? What If she doesn't wish to stay with his parents? she wondered and flashed a fake smile. "It will be nice to have Kelsey around the house. It will give us more time to bond. We will be glad to have her." Ben said with a smile. "Of course Ben, we will get to know her more," responded Kate. She turned to Kelsey. "Right Kelsey?" Kelsey agreed with a nod. "At least, I'll have someone to talk to about girly stuff when I come around. These people can be boring sometimes," commented Alice. "That's true Alice. You guys are going to have so much fun." Evan said. "I'm more excited about your staying here Kelsey. Even if it's going to be for a while. And guess what, we will go to
Kelsey returned from college and met Dennis sitting in the living room. Beside him was a small luggage box. Immediately Kelsey walked into the room, he rose to his feet."Welcome back. I was waiting for you to arrive," he said.Kelsey replied. "Is there a problem? I can see you are all set for your trip.""Why don't you go upstairs and pack up? I'll wait right here. I'll drop you at my parent's before I head out for my trip." He told her."There is no need for that.""What are you saying?"Kelsie sighed and dropped her schoolbag on the couch. "What I'm asserting is that there is no point packing. I don't want to leave here.""You must be joking." Dennis retorted. "You want to stay here by yourself?""Well, you should have asked me whether I could cope before you went ahead and announced to your parents that I'll be coming over and now it appears that I can cope," Kelsey said."I can't let you stay here Kelsey and please, let's not argue about this. Go in there, pack your stuff and joi
Kate led Kelsey into a room. "You'll stay here until Dennis returns." Kelsey dropped her school bag on the table and bounced on the bed.Kate smiled. "I hope you like the room." Kelsey stood up and moved to the window, she ran her hands through the curtain and turned to Kate with a warm smile."I love the room. Thank you so much." Kate blinked at her."Get some rest. Dinner is by 7. If you need anything, let me know." Kate said and walked out of the room.Kelsie changed into casual outfits and slept till evening. She woke up around 5 pm and traced her way to the kitchen. Kate was already setting dinner and Peter was doing the dishes."Welcome home Kelsie. Mom told me that you were sleeping when I walked in." Peter said with a smile."Yes. Dennis dropped me this afternoon."Kelsey took charge of the carrots and chopped them. She worked on the vegetables too. Before 7 pm, dinner was set and Ben joined them at the table."Kelsey, do you like your room?" Ben demanded immediately he sat.
When Kelsey and Janet walked into the classroom. The girls couldn't take their eyes off Kelsey. She forced Janet to go for the seats in the last row hoping that the unfriendly stares from the girls won't reach her. After the class, Janet and Kelsey hurried out with the rest of the students and stood a few meters away from the entrance waiting for Peter to show up and he did.Peter saw Kelsey standing beside a girl whose head was lowered. He walked up to them."Janet!" Kelsey called out and she raised her head."Meet Peter."Janet stared at Peter for a while without a word. She then extended her hand and shook him. She smiled halfway and heaved a deep sigh."Hi, .. Janet...I'm Janet." she stammered. Janet had only known Peter from a distance and had never stood before him."She's the only friend I've got over here. She was the one that introduced me to Rovado." Kelsey said."That's amazing. She's a good friend. Any friend who takes you to Rovado in this college is a friend indeed." Pe
When Peter and Kelsey returned home from school that evening, Peter told his parents about Bryan's birthday party, stating that Kelsey was invited.At first, Kate and Ben objected stressing that the event might be dangerous since it was held at night. They also said that Dennis might not agree with the idea.Peter convinced them that it was unnecessary to tell Dennis about it, claiming that his elder brother was such a bore and Kelsey was looking forward to it. They asked Kelsey about it and she shared her interest with them. Ben and Kate finally gave their approval after Peter promised to take care of Kelsey at the party.On the day of Bryan's birthday, Kelsey picked out a short maxi dress. The event was slated for 7 pm. She adorned her hair with colourful ribbons and wore flexible sandals. She applied a little make-up and at 6: 30 pm, she and Peter were ready to leave the house."Let's go," Peter said and they stepped into the car."You look lovely by the way."Kelsey smiled and mu
Kate stood up and moved toward Dennis. He was in a fit of rage and was pacing back and forth. Sweats were already lined up on his forehead."Peter made us a promise. You know Peter. He doesn't break his promises easily." Kate tried to console Dennis. "Kelsey will be fine," she added.Dennis stood still. "What if he gets distracted? Or what if he gets drunk? Who is going to watch over Kelsey?" Dennis fired. Both his hands were on his waist. "You guys shouldn't have let her go out in the first place?""Peter knows how much you care about Kelsey so trust me, son, he'll do anything he can to keep her safe," Ben said. He tried to hold Dennis but the troubled Dennis drifted backwards."Dad the problem might not be Peter. I know how Kelsey can get sometimes. She can be overexcited, very naive and sometimes a hot head. What if she gets so hyper and ends up doing what she's not supposed to?" Dennis pointed out. "I just hope nothing goes wrong," replied Kate."Damn it!" Dennis screamed and kic
