Dre smiled wi-dely at the sweet reconciliation, the sweetest he has ever seen
“So do I get some accolades for a job well done? ” He said
Cheryl broke the hvg with Louis and faced him
“I’ll invite you to a special dinner soon, I’ll cook something delicious, so delicious that you’ll eat your fork along with it” she smiled
” Really?, Then I can’t wait” he replied
” Thanks buddy, seriously this would not have been possible without you” Louis said, holding Cheryl’s hand
” I know, so the next time you behave like a jĀ£rk towards her, I’ll be the one to plant a bullet in your heart” Dre said
“I won’t do that $h!t anymore, trust me I’ll be a better man from now on” Louis replied
” Better, now you both can go home and continue your lovie dovie, bye” Dre said
” Are you chasing us? ” Louis said
“Of course, it’s suffocating, I don’t feel oppressed though but I nee-d space, go to your house” Dre said and slightly pushed Louis out of the room
Cheryl followed after hitting Dre pla-yfully
“Bye!” Dre said from inside
“Punk!, I’ll get back” Louis replied and Cheryl giggled
Louis looked her way and gr@bbĀ£d her hand again. “Let’s go home, we have a lot to do” he said
She nodded and followed his lead, feeling his hand on hers like this refreshed everything again, she seriously missed every single tĀ©uƧh right from the night he mas-saged her tummy to the simple holds
They got in the car and the drive to his house started, taking just few minutes to get there
He got down first and opened the car door for her
blu-shing obviously, Cheryl c@mĀ£ down from the car and walked in with him
“I missed this place” she Inhaled immediately they got In
” Sure? ” He asked
She looked at him and took few steps to him before hvgging him. “Sure” she replied on his che-st
He tĀ©uƧhed her hair gently and she looked up at him
“What do you want for dinner?” She asked
“You” he said
She broke the hvg and gave him questioning looks
“Me?” She spoke up
“Yes…. I mean, you being here is my dinner for tonight” he replied
“that’s cute, but you know…. I should cook something” she insisted
“That’ll be tomorrow, let’s just order something tonight” he said
” Order? ” She said
” You don’t get it huh?, I don’t want you to stress yourself too much again, plea-se” he said
” Oh… Accepted” she replied
” Good girl” he replied
“Lady” she pouted
“Girl, you’re twenty one, so?” He said
“Then I have the right to call you boy since you’re twenty two” she replied
” No” he smiled
” Yes” she replied
” Silly girl” he said
” StĀ©p calling me girl, I’m a lady.. full grown lady” she insisted, slumping on the couch, pretending to be angry
“Sorry girl” he said again, trying ha-rd not to laugh
She spranged up and went after him, Louis took to his heels and ran upstairs like flash while she ran after him till he got to his room, entered and locked the door
pla-ying with him like a kid is too ha-rd to resist so she pla-yed along
She hit the door lightly. “Hey child, open the door” she said
Louis kept mute inside but stayed behind the door and kept smiling
“Open it before I break it with something” Cheryl said again but his smile only grew wi-der
“I hate you” she said and made to go but he opened the door and swiftly pu-ll-ed her in by the arm, holding her back to himself once they’re inside
Her heart skipped beats as they stayed like that, she can feel his breath on her nĀ£Ā¢k
“You hate me?” He asked knowingly
“That was a joke” she replied
Somehow that joke felt real and that was why he quic-kly pu-ll-ed her in, getting paranoid
He inhaled ha-rd and brou-ght out his phone from his pocket, still standing in that position
He dialled the line of his pri-vate restaurant and ordered deliveries
“What would you like young lady?” He asked, balancing his head on her right shoulder
She smiled and brushed her hair behind her ear… “Em…. chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad and other things” she said
“Oh…I got that, I’ll just order a full table” he said and ordered just that before hanging up
“Should we pl@ymore?” She asked
“Wanna pla-y?” He asked
” On your che-st” she replied and slightly pushed him to the be-d, laying on tĀ©p of him and letting her head stay on his che-st
It’s the first time they’ll be doing that together and it’s cool!
“I missed being with you, I missed your smiles , your tĀ©uƧh especially during the mas-sage, I missed everything” she said
“It’s fine, I missed you more, and plea-se, I’m not gonna do anything to hurt you again, if I make any mistake, you just nee-d to sl@p me to bring me back to my s-en-ses” he replied
” Roger that” she smiled and raised her head a bit, she k!$$Ā£d his cheek and smiled prettily
“Let’s stay this way till our orders arrives” she said
” Sure” he replied.
****
” If you love me, then there’s no point in keeping secrets from me, Elena plea-se, just tell me what’s wrong, I know you’re not ok” Shane probe-d for the uptenth time today after dropping her off at her house
Elena smiled brightly in an effort to cover up. “Trust your girl, I’m really fine” she said
” Are you sure?, Cos I’m…” Shane said and Elena stĀ©pped him with a k!ss
“StĀ©p being stubborn huh?” She smiled
“I’m just worried…but since you’re fine, I guess it’s cool, have a good night rest then” he said, still not convinced
“You too” she said
” It’s Saturday tommorow, let’s go on a d@tĀ£ after we might have returned from the fashion institute” Shane said
Elena’s face brightened up and she hvgged him ti-ght
“Yes, let’s do that” she said
Her heartbeat is fas-ter than usual as they hvgged and it’s typical of someone full of fears
She pu-ll-ed away from the hvg and pe-cked him before getting out of the car, she waved and went in
“Elena will never go in if I don’t k!ssher or if she doesn’t k!ssme, what’s wrong?” He wondered worriedly.
****
Elena met Bella in the living room knitting sweaters when she c@mĀ£ in
“Mum” she smiled and hvgged her while bending
“Daughter” she replied, hvgging her back
“You look worried, is something wrong?” She asked
” No mum, I’ll be in my room” she replied and went in
” You nee-d to eat!” Bella said.
” I’ll do that later!, I nee-d to write an as-signment!” She yelled back
She sat on her be-d and sighed
” Miley, Sydney and Laurette, those three Won’t really stĀ©p till they destroy me right?” She asked herself
She buried her face in her be-d
” What do I do?, I can’t even tell Shane cos I know he’ll get mad at me for checking out myself in school, what do I do?, I’m just so clumsy” She thought
Her phone beeped and she checked quic-kly, it’s a message from an unknown number
*Your picture will go viral if you don’t come to The icons restaurant tommorow by 12*
It’s either sĀ£nt by Miley or Sydney
“I have a d@tĀ£ with Shane tommorow, that do I do?”
*****
Next morning**
Cheryl woke up to a sweet smelling room even without opening her eyes, she smells something nice.
She actually sle-pt in her room last night since he hasn’t said the feelings is mutual, she has to give that much distance
“Morning babygirl” Louis’s voice said beside her
She spranged up and saw him sitting beside her with a tray on the be-dstand
“Louis” she smiled, getting down from the be-d, he stood and hvgged her, softly k!ss!ngher hair in the process
“Baby girl again?, I said I’m a lady…L-A-D-Y, you graduated from Oxford so I’m expecting you to listen to simple corrections” she said jokingly
” What if I don’t want to?” He said
” Then I’ll … Do something nas-ty” she said
“That sounds great” he replied
” Nuts” she said and they both laughed
“Well my room smells nice” she sniffed
“Yes, I made your breakfast, you just have to sit and eat” he said
” Whoa!, Breakfast in be-d” she blu-shed
“Yes babygirl, now you nee-d to sit” he replied and she gently sat
He sat on a stool in front of her and took the tray then opened the meal
“Steak!, American style!” she gushed
“But I think we agreed that I’d cook this morning” she pouted
” Yes, but not anymore, I changed plans” he replied, cutting the steak into the fork
” Open up” he said
“This is what they call feeding right?” She said, blu-shing again and that made her cheeks turn bright red
“Think about it” he replied as she opened up and he gently shoved the fork into her mouth
She chewed on it and gave thumbs up. “Well cooked, well seasoned, delicious” she said
“So on a scale of one to ten, how much do I get?” He asked, closing his eyes and that made hisl-ips the only visible p@rt of his bĀ©dy to her
She kept staring, forgetting he asked a question
He gently opened his eyes and smiled. “I know I’m handsome” he said naughtily
She realized she got caught and rolled eyes at him
“On a scale of one to ten, I give you five” she said
“What!, Just five?” He replied
” Yeah, just five you jĀ£rk!” She remarked
“That makes you look shorter” he said
“What?” She replied
“Anger” he win-ked
“I look shorter now?” She said, standing up
” Yes, scientists just found out that 99 percent of girls look shorter when angry” he said
” Come here” she said and he quic-kly placed down the plate
She gr@bbĀ£d him and pu-ll-ed him to the be-d un-der her, breathing heavily
“What should I do with you?” She said
“Your choice” he said, closing his eyes again and her eyes Won’t leave hisl-ips once again
He opened his eyes after some minutes and laughed, sitting up
“See?, I got you again” he whispered
“Whatever!” She said, sitting very well since he seems to know her weakness now
He carried the plate and resumed feeding her
“Thanks” she said
“Why?” He asked, getting serious
” I just feel like doing that” she replied
“Don’t ever thank me again, feeding you and pla-ying childishly with you like this is the best thing I’ve ever done” he said
” I love you” she said
He smiled and wiped herl-ips with tissue before gently stro-king her hair
“Baby girl” he said and instead of fighting it this time, she smiled
“****
Shane got dressed for the d@tĀ£ at exactly some minutes to twelve, he’s re-ady but stepping out of his house, he c@mĀ£ face to face with Mrs Tanner
“Ma’am” he beamed, glad to see her
“Good to see you” she smiled
“Same here ma’am, good morning” he replied
“Morning, how’s your girlfriend doing?” She asked
” She found out” Shane thought
“She’s fine” he replied
Mrs Tanner c@mĀ£ forward and stood right in front of him
“She’s my daughter whom I thought was dead right?, You’re with Samantha again and yet you refused to tell me!” She yelled
” She’s not Samantha” he replied calmly
“Then?”
“She’s Elena, they just resemble each other so much but there’s a difference in the eye color” he replied
” Difference my foot!, People use lenses these days and it might just be lens!” She yelled again
” No, she’s my girlfriend and I can surely say she uses no lens! Brown is her natural eye color, Samantha’s was blue” he replied
” So you’ll be like this till the end huh?, But don’t worry, I’ll go to the woman’s house myself cos I alre-ady know her house, I’ll go to her house and take back my daughter” she said and left after smiling
” What’s happening and why is everyone trying to make me go crazy!, First it was people trying to kill my girlfriend and now it’s my former girlfriend’s mum claiming to be my current girlfriend’s mum, I don’t un-derstand” he said, checking the time
” Past twelve, Elena would have waited for long” he said and got in his car
On getting to her house, Bella said she left the house some minutes ago
“Where did she go to?” He asked
“She said she wants to go meet a friend” Bella replied
” A friend?, When we have a d@tĀ£?, Why is Elena doing this to me today?” He said, trying her line but she’s not picking
” I’ll just find her wherever she is, thanks ma’am, and take care ma” he bowed respectfully and made to go but he looked back
” I don’t know what it is between you and her dad, but I hope you settle it soon, some bad guys are after her life but I promise to continue staying with her, just plea-se…. StĀ©p giving Thomas the chance to treat you both like outcasts” he said and smiled before getting in his car
Bella leaned on the wall and cried bitterly.. “someday, I’ll be able to tell” she thought.
****
Elena walked slowly into the restaurant that was texted to her with great fear in her heart, it’s big and it looks like only rich people go there
She looked at her ringing phone, it’s Shane but what will she say
“I know I’m being an idiot, but maybe I can cajole the girls to delete it, Shane doesn’t have to do everything for me” she thought
She got to a spĀ©t and stĀ©pped at what she’s seeing
Mich is sitting on a chair in front of her, dressed nicely like someone on a d@tĀ£
“What’s that jĀ£rk doing here?” She thought and her phone beeped
*You’re having a d@tĀ£ with Mich here, you nee-d to cooperate and keep your head cool, After this we’ll delete the pictures.. MILEY*
She finished re-ading the text and scoffed. “I can’t do this, I’d rather tell it to Shane and have you guys wounded” she said and turned to go..
” If you reject, then right now I’m uploading the pic on the school blog” Mich said from behind
She swiftly looked back and saw Mich holding his hand up with his phone, showing the picture
She walked slowly to him and sat in front of him
“Eat with me babe, it’s as simple as that, if you do this, then I’ll always protect you, that your bloody bĀ©yfriĀ£ndis not worth it” Mich said and Elena folded her fist, wishing she can kill him but….her face is at stake here
She tried to keep calm as the orders arrived
“Let’s eat” he said, taking the fork, she did the same and her phone rang In her bag again
It’s surely Shane again but she almost cried when it kept ringing and she couldn’t pick
Mich smiled and started eating but she kept sitting without doing anything
“Why?” He asked
She faced the table without uttering a word and Mich stood
He c@mĀ£ to her and she had to snuck back as if to enter the chair
He c@mĀ£ closer and closer to her,she turned herl-ips away from him and that gave him access to her cheek
He k!$$Ā£d her cheeks without warning and she stood, pushing him away
“I hate you!, You’re just a twerp who’s after anything in Sk-irt!, I don’t want to ever see you again!” She yelled
” What if I post this right now” Mich said cunningly
Elena let her tears continue flowing and Mich smiled
“You don’t have to cry anymore babe, meet me tomorrow for our next d@tĀ£, I’ll sĀ£nd the location and be prepared, I’ll get more ro-mantic” he said and c@mĀ£ closer
” I love ti-ght h0ƱĀ£yp0ts, you know what I mean” he said and left
Elena slumped on the chair with regrets.
Miley smiled from a corner in the restaurant.. “Mich is an expert, hope you snapped the pictures well, especially when he k!$$Ā£d her cheek” Sydney asked
” Sure, Shane will nearly go insane if he sees it, we’ll sĀ£nd it to him together with tommorow’s pictures then her bĀ©dy picture” Miley replied
” You think Shane doesn’t know about her spĀ©ts?” Laurette asked
“Shane has an high taste, trust me if he knows she has disgusting spĀ©ts on her bĀ©dy, he wouldn’t go near her not to talk of d@t!ngher, Pretty face deceives” Miley replied
*****
Shane almost ran nuts when he couldn’t contact her for close to four hours, it’s evening alre-ady and he has gone to check her in the house for like seven times but she’s not home
“You’ll run mad soon” Warren mocked beside him
“I don’t care, can’t you see I’m not ok?, I mean we have a d@tĀ£, only for her to just leave like that and refuse to pick her calls?, Right from last night I know something is wrong” Shane replied, sitting and standing up again
They’re actually at Warren’s house
“Big bro let’s go” Warren’s junior sis said, coming out
“Ok dude, I nee-d to accompany Jessi to the boutique, I’ll see you!” Warren said and left the house
” I’m going crazy, Elena where are you” Shane sighed.
****
Getting home that evening, Elena met her mum pacing round the front of the house
She hvgged her ti-ghtly immediately she got there. “Where have you been?, I’ve been worried and you won’t pick your calls, Shane has come here seven times today just because he’s so worried, where did you go?, He told me you guys were supposed to go on a d@tĀ£” Bella said
Elena looked at her and smiled sadly
” Mum I’m an idiot, I’m the biggest fool around, what do I do?, Shane will be so disappointed” she said, sniffing loudly
” What do you mean?” Bella asked and then, a car c@mĀ£ to an halt in front of the house and out of it c@mĀ£ Mrs Tanner and Cheryl
It’s obvious in Cheryl’s face immediately she saw Elena that she’s shocked
Mrs Tanner won’t stĀ©p smiling while moving closer, leaving Elena and Bella in total confusion
At a time, Bella held Elena’s face, ma-king her eyes wi-den in shock
“My daughter!” she cried loudly
Cheryl stayed behind her, concentrating on the eye color, “she’s Samantha?”
“Is it really lens?”
*Is she different from Samantha?
*Was Samantha a twin?*
She almost went crazy on that spĀ©t with lots of questions for herself
“My precious daughter, where have you been and why did you forget your mother?, My Samantha” Mrs Tanner cried, hvgging her eventually
” S…. Samantha?” Elena stuttered
“You might not know but you’re Samantha, and I’m sure it’s lens in your eyes, your real eye color is blue my love, did you lose your memory?” Mrs Tanner said
” What are you talking about?” Bella finally spoke
“Who are you?” Mrs Tanner asked
Bella smiled shortly. ” On the norms, I should be the one asking that cos you just c@mĀ£ here and started claiming my daughter as yours, who does that?” She replied, taking Elena away from her
” What… what’s happening…mum who’s this Samantha?…I’m confused!” Elena almost yelled
” You’re Samantha my dear, you’re my daughter” Mrs Tanner said
“Where is that coming from old woman?, She’s Elena, my daughter” Bella replied, holding Elena firmer
“No daughter, come with mummy” Mrs Tanner said
Elena held her ears…. ” It feels like a local market is in my head, stĀ©p trying to drive me crazy!… plea-se” she cried and that instant, Shane’s car stĀ©pped in front of the house..
He c@mĀ£ out of the car and immediately he saw tears in her eyes, he rushed to her and held her tearful face, ignoring others
“Why are you crying?” He asked
“Shane…” Elena sniffed and he hvgged her head to his che-st dearly
“Who made her cry?, Who made my princess cry!” He yelled
