"You are joking right?" Shirley asked in shock
"Joking?? Of course not. Why would I joke when we are playing a very serious game" HE said smirking.
Shirley stared at him completely dumbfounded, seems like her plan is about to bounce back on her.
"Go on, am waiting," HE said laughing at her facial expression.
She still didn't move an inch, she was trying to remember the undies she wore if it was sexy enough to be seen by her mate. When she remembered what she wearing under, she smiled smugly, he would be totally surprised.
"Isn't there supposed to be a time phrase for the Dare? You are taking too much time just to do something so simple". HE said impatiently.
"Patience is virtue Zane," she said like she was scolding him.
"As you already know, I'm not a very patient man, In fact, I'm not patient at all."
"Screw it!! She
Amelia couldn't sleep anymore; the bed was cold next to her and the room was too quiet. She had been laying in bed staring into the ceiling for up to five hours now. When she left Shirl's bedroom, she went home immediately waiting to hear from Robert and Shirley. Robert came back a few hours ago and he told her that they had a good time that they ran for a while and even went out to hunt. She was happy that they got along and didn't fight so that would make Shirl's work a little bit easier. It was really annoying and heart wrecking waiting for what seems like forever to hear something you so desperately needed to hear. She had almost half a bottle of tequila she just opened, she had to stop herself so that she wouldn't get drunk before getting the news she was waiting for.At this point, she was picking and biting on her nails in anticipation when suddenly the soft voice she had been waiting for ages resounded in her ears. She felt the urge to curl into a ball a
"I can't just give you my blessings like that...""So, you are against it then?" Robert asked in shock his eyes widening in surprise."What I mean is that I can't give you my blessings and I'm not against it also, you can do whatever you deem fit. Giving you my blessings would mean I would have to listen to all your complaints when or if the need arises. To summarize it all, I am on a neutral ground, I won't kill you or break any of your bones if you decide to accept her, and I won't exactly jump or dance for joy if you decide to reject her". Zane said."Ooh, I get now. At least that is something, you should have explained it well from the beginning" Robert said."You would have gotten it the first time if you did not so rudely interrupt me," Zane said raising his eyes at him."I really can't believe it" Robert muttered to himself but it was loud enough for Zane to hear.
Shirley woke up the next morning feeling a slight headache, she looked at the watch on the bedside and it was sharp seven, she was used to waking up by seven, and no matter how late she slept, she always wakes up by that time even without an alarm. She groaned when she remembered what kept her awake till past one and after staying up that late, she still didn't get any useful information from him. She was tempted to wake him up and ask him about last night but she resisted. She decided she was going to sleep a little more so she snuggled closer to him, then sighed in content after closing her eyes.An arm snaked around her waist and his head burrowed itself onto her shoulder. A sleepy murmur left him as he tucked his legs over hers."Morning, why are you awake by this time?" he rumbled sleepily with his eyes still closed."Good morning to you too" She replied softly turning so that she can face him. Being so close to him
"Hey babe, I am not saying that you can't shop on your own, I know that you have your own money I am only showing my appreciation to you for taking care of my drunken self. Taking care of a drunk isn't part of your duty as my mate. So, I'm just grateful to you, it's not like I am paying you" Zane said."Okay then, but I'm still not collecting the card from you no matter how you try to twist the word. You can show your appreciation some other time and through other means. Moreover, Love makes you do selfless things, and what I did is just a little, anyone else who loves you would have done the same" Shirl persisted. She brought out the chopped fruits of last night from the fridge and dished out two plates, after adding milk to it she offered him a plate and HE thanked her.It is official, she is the best thing to ever happen to me. She is exactly what HE needs in his life and HE wouldn't mind going through all pains HE went through in his chi
Robert stayed in the kitchen and watched as his housekeeper prepared his meal in a haste. He knew that his presence in the kitchen was making his housekeeper nervous but he couldn't bring himself to leave. Staying in the kitchen waiting for his dinner would prevent him from staying in his bedroom waiting for his phone to ring and if it doesn't ring, he might even be tempted to call her if he stays alone in his bedroom.The housekeeper left in a haste after serving him. He thanked him for the meal before settling down alone on the dining chair, eating his dinner in silence. Of late, he has been feeling so lonely, It feels like there is a void in his heart that needed to be filled. Nights like this, when he sits in the dining eating alone with no one to talk to, no one to compliment the food, no one to tell how he spent his day, no one to argue with, Is when the loneliness becomes too much and unbearable. After eating, he decided to do the dishes to pass time, whe
This morning was very different from Robert's usual mornings. Other mornings, he wakes up whenever he felt like and that is always past nine or in some cases past ten. He was a strong believer in quality sleep or beauty sleep, he calls it any of the two on different occasions. The more sleep you get the more productive you would be during the day. This particular morning, however, the resonating sound from his alarm clock woke him up from his beauty sleep. He tried to block the sound by covering his ears with his duvet but it seems like the more he covered himself, the louder the sounds get, if he doesn't put off the alarm right this instance, his eardrums would get damaged. In anger, he stretched out his hand to the bedside table and when he found the object that was the cause of his discomfort, he smashed it against the wall then the room suddenly became quiet.He wondered who had the guts to do such a preposterous thing as to set an alarm in his room, he was
Robert stayed in the bathroom for just ten minutes, this was the shortest shower he had ever taken in his life. He made sure to shave everything just like Amelia suggested and when he was finally done, he dressed up quickly in the attire Amelia pick for him and headed down. Looking at his wristwatch, he realized that he was five minutes late for his own date that is taking place in his house.Looking around, he didn't see Alicia anywhere and he was thankful that he wasn't the only one running late, so he ran back to his room and applied his cologne, he didn't apply it earlier because he was in a haste the first time. He tried calling her line and it wasn't going through so he went back down to wait for her. After waiting for about ten minutes and Alicia didn't show up, he tried her number again and it still didn't go through, so he started pacing around again and praying that everything is okay with her."Amelia, Alicia isn't h
"Okay, what is it, and it better not be cute," he said."Husbandly. You look like a very devoted husband who is cooking for his wife" she said.He smiled and muttered under his breath, you would be so disappointed when you taste my food, I wouldn't look so devoted then."Did you say something? I couldn't hear you", she said."Nah, I didn't say anything" he replied then he offered a silent prayer to the Moon goddess to save him just this once as they both walked into his kitchen"Okay, so how long do I have to wait for the pasta to get ready? I didn't eat lunch because I wanted to have enough space for your food" she said to him as she sat on top of the counter because there were no seats around.Her statement made him become antsy again, he was trying to liven the mood so that he wouldn't think about his bad cooking skills or lack of it thereof. He was happy
