? MELT MY HEART ?
(I was too dumb to realize,… I’m in love with you… ?)
**CHAPTER ELEVEN**
**********
Richa-rd stood like that for some minutes, unsure of how to respond cos he can’t believe his ears
“Snow White loves me?”
He took her hands off his tummy and faced her
Her tears are still falling
“Hey , st©p crying, why will you even cry” he said, wiping it
“I just love you so much that it hurts” she replied
” How crazy can this still get” Richa-rd wondered as he continued staring at her
Snow stood on her toes and held his face
“Richa-rd plea-se, just love me will you?” She said, hvgging her after that
” Snow, you didn’t drink alcohol did you?” He said
She broke the hvg
” I’m not drun!kRicha-rd , I know what I want and I equally know what I’m talking about, why do you think I always want to be with you?, Why do you think I k!ssyourl-ips every minute?, Why do you think I always want to be in your arms and sleep off on your che-st, it’s because I love you so much Richa-rd ” she confessed shamelessly
” Snow…
“It was love at first sight but my foolish hatred for commoners made me too dumb to realize it, and when I realized it, that was the reason for my harshness those times, I hated myself for falling for you back then, I hated the fact that you’re handsome as a Commoner, but right now I don’t care anymore, who you are, where you’re from and what you are, it doesn’t matter anymore Richa-rd , I just want you, plea-se” she said, still crying
Richa-rd made to turn buy she held him back
“You can’t leave, you can’t say no either, if you say that, I’ll drink Nobles wine and bleed to death” she said
” Are you crazy!, How can you say that” he found himself saying
“Yes I’m crazy, crazily in love with you” she replied, still holding unto his shi-t
“Snow, look I’m from a poor family like you know, mum sells…
“Second hand clothes, your junior brother attend Elite high by scholarsh!p, Same school as Pinky, I know… Just forget about anything else and look at me plea-se” she said
“you really want this?, What about your parents?, Rich parents don’t want poor guys for their daughters” he said, finally holding her hands
“I’ll handle it, just trust me ok?, I’ll handle that p@rt, ok? ” She said
He looked away but she turned back his face to herself
“Richa-rd plea-se… I love you so…..
She wasn’t chanced to finish the statement, he k!$$£d her de-eply and she responded with same pace
They devoured each other’sl-ips
He suddenly broke it and left for the door, he locked it and c@m£ back to her, he captured herl-ips once again and they walked to the inner room along with theirl-ips on each other
She felt his ton-gue in her mouth and she su-cked on it with great zeal as she fell on the be-d with him on t©p of her
The k!sscontinued and when they can ba-rely breathe again, they st©pped to catch their breaths
“I love you so much Richa-rd , I love you madly” she said, breathing heavily, herl-ips swollen
” Ion know, all I know right now is that, my heart is really beating fast” he replied
She smiled before he reconnected theirl-ips again
She un-bu-ttoned his shi-t and took it off, revea-ling his cute S-xy b©dy
She ran her soft hands throu-gh it, soft g@sps escaping her mouth as they k!$$£d
“Take off my shi-t” she said, breaking it
“No, note yet” he replied
” When?” She asked
” Just not now, it’s too early, let’s be patient ok?” he replied
She nodded and pu-ll-ed him closer to herself
“I love every p@rt of you,can I address you as mine from now on?” She said
“anything, it’s cool” he replied simply..
” What would you call me?, Any pet name in mind?” She asked
“Simply baby” he replied, smiling too
” I love it, so far it’s you” she said, k!ss!nghim lightly on thel-ips again
“I love you so much, you don’t nee-d to say you love me, I’ll do it alone” she said
She sat on his torso and her hands did wonders on his ba-re b©dy, she mas-saged it and k!$$£d it at the same time
Richa-rd g@sped like a girl as she did it
She smiled at the effect it’s having on him before getting off him
She layed beside him on be-d and placed her head on his che-st
“Mine” she said
“Yes?” He replied
“Gosh!, That feels so cool!” She remarked, pe-cking him
They left the office very late and she skipped club that night too
slowly, she’s getting over her love for club, the one Ace created

Saturday**
Drake took out his mum’s wares abs£ntmindedly into the van
He finished packing it and without knowing what he’s doing,he took out the small living room table, he’s about to carry the kitchen cu-pboard when Daniella hit him
“Ouch!, Mum!”
“Your s-en-ses must have left you,you carried out the living room table and now you wanna carry the cu-pboard?, Why don’t you tell me you want me to start selling cu-pboards and tables too, what the hell are you thinking!” She yelled
“mum you won’t un-derstand” he replied
” I won’t un-derstand you say?” She said
” Yes mum” he replied
” You’ve been acting strange since three days ago, I’m suspecting there’s someone bullying you at school” Daniella said
” Bully me?, When I’m the bully myself, they aren’t, they don’t dare, even if I’m not strong, Gianna Won’t allow bullying for me” he replied
” Then why are you always brooding since three days ago?” She asked
” It’s nothing mum…ok I miss Richa-rd , can we go now?” He said, heading out
” Miss Richa-rd ?, Unbelievable, ok just carry in the table you took out, I’ll be out in a jiffy” Daniella said, going in
He went out and sighed
“Why am I thinking so much about her when she’s less concerned?” He thought
His phone rang
It’s an unknown number
He picked instantly
“Annyeong, I’m speaking with who?”
“Riley, Pinky’s friend”
“Oh!, Riley!”
They spoke at length and by the time he hanged up, he smiled
“Let’s see how it’ll go” he said to himself before carrying in the table…

Whites mansion***
Snow ti-ptoed out of Richa-rd ‘s room as usual this morning
It collided with when Evelyn is coming out too
Evelyn snuck back to her room and peeped as Snow entered her room
Evelyn c@m£ out and sighed
“I knew it,no wonder the changes in her” she thought and inhaled ha-rd ….
Snow called Richa-rd Immediately she got to the bathroom to brush
He picked the video call and his handsome face bec@m£ visible
“You left my room just now” he said
“Does it matter?, I’m missing you alre-ady” she replied, putting toothpaste on her toothbrush
” Even when we’re in the same house, just different rooms” he said
“I love you” she said
” You said that countless times last night” he replied
” Ion mind saying it over and over again” she replied, brushing her teeth
“Has anyone ever told you you have the most cute set of teeth?” He said
” No, you’ll be the first” she replied, feeling special
” Ok, where are you going today?” He asked
“It’ll be your choice” she replied
” Like?”
“anywhere you wish to go” she replied
“I want to go see my mother” he said
” Sounds great, let’s do that” she replied
” You’re following me?” He asked surprisingly
” Sure, let’s go say hello to Mrs Daniella Larry” she replied
“I haven’t told you her name, how did you…
” Calm down baby, I’m a lady of means” she replied
He smiled
“Ok baby, let’s go eat, we’ll meet downstairs” he said
“Can’t you plea-se eat barbeque with me this morning?” She said
” Why are you so obsessed with barbeque?, Even early in the morning you eat it” he said
“someone taught me that, and I’ve been trying my best to do without eating barbeque but it seems Impossible” she replied, her mood changing
“who?”
” Story for another day,let’s go eat” she replied, brightening up
“before we go see my mother, can you do something for me?” He asked
” Anything for you” she replied
” Tidy your room” he replied
She pouted
“It feels like the most tedious work for me,I don’t like tidying up” she replied
“ok, then let’s break up,ion like dirty ladies” he replied, joking though
” No! no! no, I’ll do it…, Don’t joke with that again” she replied
He smiled
” That’s my lady, let’s go eat downstairs” he replied
She k!$$£d him from the phone
” You’re Crazy” he said
“Yes, crazily in love with you” she replied before hanging up , hvgging the phone…

Pinky kept expecting Drake’s call early this morning so she could snub as usual but it’s not coming
“Why?” She wondered, staring at her phone as she walked downstairs for dinner, looking bothered
She got there and met her parents alre-ady seated
She took her seat after greeting them, the maids served her food
The doorbell rang
“Must be Snow’s darn barbeque again, darn it!” Pinky blurted, standing up to go take it
She c@m£ back with the barbeque after some minutes and placed it on the table, she literally threw it, transferring her anger for not seeing Drake’s call on it
Snow c@m£ downstairs
“Good morning mum, morning dad” she greeted, pe-cking them both on the cheek
“How was your night pinky?* She asked
” Huh?”
” Your night?” She asked again
“Fine” Pinky replied awkwardly
Snow will never greet or care about anyb©dy’s night
“Did you eat something weird before going to be-d last night?” Mr White said..
” No, just accept this new me” she replied
Pinky choked on nothing and has to drink water
“Oh my barbeque!” Snow gushed, sitting as she opened it
“You won’t eat real food first before eating BBQ” Evelyn said
“I’ll change my style today” she replied
Richa-rd c@m£ downstairs and sat beside her
She made to di-p her hand into the barbeque but remembered Richa-rd ‘s nagging
She washed her hands first
Pinky and Mr White stared at each other, exchanging glances in surprise
Evelyn doesn’t seem surprised
“You washed your hand?” Pinky and Mr White said
“Anything wrong with that?” Snow said
” I remember sometimes ago, I had to beg and beg, but still you won’t wash your hand before eating it, and now you washed your hand without anyone telling you?” It’s strange somehow, are you really changing or deceiving us” Pinky said
” You guys will see for yourself, let’s eat” she replied, digging in
They all ate, still staring at her in surprise
She held Rich’s hand un-der the table throu-ghout…
Pinky hadn’t ate for five minutes before ban-ging her spoon on the table, standing up at the same time
“What?’ Evelyn asked
She fought back her tears as she ran upstairs
“Her dramas” Snow muttered

Snow had to tell her parents she’s going to see Chloe, she went out with Richa-rd after tidying up her room like he requested
It’s like hell for her, something she has never done before
She kept k!ss!nghim throu-ghout the drive
Thanks to the tinted glas-ses and he ba-rely concentrated
“Baby can we do this later?, We sle-pt midnight last night cos of this too” he said
” I don’t get tired of it in case you dunno” she replied as he st©pped the car
She k!$$£d him de-eply for some minutes
“I’ll manage this for the next three hours, let’s move” she said
He smiled before continuing the ride
“Mum will still be in the market so we’ll have to br@nch” he said
” Sure” she replied
He drove into the busy market and parked by the roadside
” You can’t come out, the daughter of the great Mr White can’t be seen in a local market, it’ll raise suspicions and that’s what we don’t want” he said
” I gat my hat, and I’ll use my muffler, don’t worry” she said
” No I..
“Let’s go” she said, using her hat and muffler, even sunglas-ses before getting out of the car…
They walked side by side
Seems people don’t know it’s her with the muffler and others
Just by his mum’s sto-re,a man is busy throwing out her goods, claiming she owed him money
“What the hell is he doing?” Richa-rd said, rushing there with Snow behind him
“Richa-rd !” Daniella said unbelievably , hvgging him as he bec@m£ visible
” Hyung!” Drake said, hvgging him too
“Do you have money?, Pay me or else…” The man said
That was replied with a punch
Snow actually Punched him and he fell on his face
Everyone g@sped
“What if she owes you money?, How much is it you j£rk face!” She said, opening her bag
She brou-ght out a bail of money and threw it at him
“That’s five hundred dollars, go bury yourself with it!, To hell with you!” She said angrily
” Miss Snow White?” Daniella said, recognizing her
“mum, just call me Snow” she replied
“It’s really you” Drake said
“You must be Drake” she said
” Sure” he replied
” Let’s get in the car, leave the goods, you won’t be coming back to this place anyways, you’re starting a boutique on Monday” Snow said
” Heh!” Daniella said unbelievably
” Let’s go mum” Richa-rd said, leading the way
They all got in the car and drove home
Snow talked and laughed freely with them, behaving like the daughter of the house
Daniella cooked and though, she’s not hungry, she ate with love
“Can’t believe Snow White is in my house and even eating” Daniella said
She smiled, taking out her chequebook
She wrote a cheque of one million dollars for her
“What!” Drake , Daniella and Richa-rd exclaimed
“Baby it’s too much” Richa-rd said before realizing
“Baby? ” Daniella said, looking at the both of them
“I mean.. boss” he replied.
Snow pu-ll-ed him closer by the n£¢k
” No, he really meant baby, he’s mine and I plan to make the deal forever and ever, give us your blessings mum” Snow said, straight to the point…
