Melina - Episode 24

 

HENRY'S POV

********

 Days now, I have been along with Susan, nobody knows, we have been on low key, being in a relationship is a bit stressful but its fun, amazing, it makes me feel satisfied, her sweet texts, I get goosebumps anytime I read them.

My friends too, since Gabriel went to Lina's house, he hasn't being in school, Hillary always talking to one secret girl on phone that nobody knows.

"So tell me about your sister" Hills broke the silence as we sat at the walk way after the long chain lectures.

"why do I have to tell you?"... I tried to sound harsh to make him dump the topic.

"Calm down bro, take".. . Brought out a paper.

"what's that?"

"A chill pill, you need it"... He said, this guy must be crazy, but it was a nice try.

"we are brothers, and don't you trust me enough ?"... He added.

"Okay fine, her name is Lillian"... I said.

"the name is cool, she is beautiful right ?".. He said, well what again will come a flirt.

"I don't know, but she is not ugly"

"so what happened, why do you hate her?"... He asked with a serious tone now.

"she slept around with boys, like it wasn't enough, she slept with some guy on my parents matrimonial bed"...

. I said with my head bent.

"she got it all wrong"... He said bitterly .

"My parents disowned her, since then, I don't know where she is and I don't care, I don't want to see her"... 

"your parents disowned her, ohh that's hard, who knows what she would be doing now and how she is fairing "... He sounded pitiful for the first time.

"yaya, and she is the reason I find it difficult getting along with girls, I believe they are all the same" ..

"but they ain't all the same, and besides change is constant, what if she had changed, you don't know, she might have learnt her lessons, this is a hard way".. He said.

"It concerns her, please let's drop the topic off it makes me want to vomit" .. I complained.

"No problem" ...

We talked about other things, watching girls walk pass the walkway and the ones with terrible makeups, we laughed.

We made a girl change walking steps.

After the day, immediately I dropped Hills off the junction, Susan called.

"prince charming"

"Cupcake" 

"are you free?, let's have dinner at Dolly hills, please".

This would be our first date.

"Sure, what time?"

"7pm" 

I got home at some minuted to 6pm, I dropped my bag and headed to the bathroom, took my bath and tried getting ready for the date but what I will wear gave me real headache.

I opened my wardrobe, yes I have clothes but that was a first date and I have to look extraordinary.

"What if she isn't dressing to impress, besides its just a casual date" ...I thought.

I settles for a black shirt and a black trouser with a black canvas, trying to look casual the best way I can.

At 6:45, she gave me a call signalling that she was leaving her house already.

I left immediately I got the call, I found my way down to dollyhills hotel, I was there in ten minutes.

I walked in from the main door but I didn't see her, I was still standing, looking around when someone rounded her hands round my waist from the back, I know her scent.

"Cupcake " 

"Prince charming" 

She released her hands and then locked her fingers with mine and we went to sit on an empty sit, we sat on the same couch, she keeping her head on my chest and I stroking her hairs with my hand.

"What do you want" ... A voice came, the waiter, a girl who had unbuttoned her shirt to expose her cleavages.

"I want ice cream, just ice cream" I said, but the waiter wouldn't take her eyes off me.

"I want ice cream too" ... Susan ordered.

She smiled and then snapped at me again before she left.

"do you know her ? " .. Susan asked, I guess she noticed too.

"nope, I don't" .. I defended myself.

"Then why is she looking at  You like that and besides she is not dressing decently or she wants to just seduce customers, not my man"... She stated blunt.

Few minutes, she came back with two cups of ice cream. she placed the cups and then " hello" she waved at me.

"bitch, thanks for the service, can you take your leave now" Susan cuts her.

I relaxed to watch the drama .

"I don't know how you ended up having this hot guy to your ugly self".. She said, I was moved but I kept my cool to allow her handle her shits.

"Its not my fault blame  that on your inability to make up"

"He doesn't deserve someone like you, I have a better shape".. She said turning round and raising her voice a little dragging the attention of the next table.

"Okay fine"

The waiter was about to walk out when Susan called her .

"you don't deserve him too, you deserve this !!"... She face masked her with the ice cream and creating up a scene.

"Next time don't make advances on my man"... She shouted.

"how could you!!!?" The girl groaned .

I stood up from where I was sitting, and took Susan's hand and led her out of the fast food.

People were looking at us, and murmuring, some gave us thumbs up.

When we got out of the door I hugged her. 

"you overreacted cupcake" 

"I am naturally  territorial prince charming"

"Let's take a walk then" 

"sure"..
