DELVIN“Where do you want us to meet?” I asked keenly.I wanted to get this over with as soon as I could.At this point I didn’t care and I was ready to take all the risks possible as long as I eventually got the answer I was looking for.“At a bar, you can pick the location.” He said calmly.“Okay then, I would forward the location to you and you can meet me there, okay?.”“Okay, see you soon.” He said calmly and my heart kept on beating throughout the whole conversation“Don’t be late.” I added and the call ended.I immediately looked around my room to be sure I won’t be forgetting anything, after making sure of that, I picked up my car keys and walked out of the room shutting the door.I looked around to tell him I would be going somewhere but I didn’t see him around.“I would probably tell him later.” I muttered to myself going down the stairs.“Where are you heading to in such a hurry?” Mike asked as soon as I was about to step out.“I need to sort something out. I will be back s
DELVIN.One question kept racing through my mind and it was hard to comprehend after listening to him speak.For some reason, I couldn't help myself or stop ranting as I stared down at the invitation in my hand.It was happening so quickly, he was taking a lot from me and I couldn't stop him at the moment…The invitation was like a remund“You need to calm down about this.” Mike said as I stormed around the room angrily.“How dare Laura, what does she think she is? With a single call I can end her life.” I yelled angrily.“I know you can but you don’t want to do anything now because I understand you are still upset.” Mike said calmly trying to calm me down.“No, she deserves anything coming her way.” I yelled angrily and walked out of my room.I wanted to leave here immediately because I was feeling very choked up and frustrated.I picked up my car keys and headed out. I needed to go somewhere where I would be able to drink my worries away.I walked directly to the car and the driver
LAURAI stood in the same spot for more than five minutes as I looked straight ahead of me.I was not staring at anything in particular, in fact, I didn't know what was right before me.The pictures were fuzzy in my head.I was disorganized, thanks to my meeting with Steve, which ended up in a loop.For the upthement time, I let out a low hiss as I ran my finger through my hair.This was not how I planned my day to go, and now I am going to remain in this mood unless something comes up to lighten it.I really felt bad for shouting at Steve.If I could rewind the time, I would have skipped that part.Instead of yelling at him earlier, I would have had a talk with him.Although his action deserves the spite I threw at it, it wasn't totally wrong if I had engaged him in a dialogue.Marriage was not something that someone would jump into with weighing the pros and cons.I need time to think about his proposal so that at the end I wouldn't be the one to bear the pain that comes from a rash
DELVINI started to pull on the weaves of my blazer as I waited for him. I had been told that Steve would be out shortly about half an hour ago. It was beginning to piss me off, I hated waiting for people especially when I have a bunch of other things to do.I stood up in haste with the intention of going upstairs to look for him. I didn’t want to invade his privacy or anything but I just had to. Time was precious.On my way upstairs, I felt a pair of tiny hands envelope my legs. “Un-cle.” I heard a familiar voice mumble, making me shift my attention to below me. I realized it was the little boy from weeks ago, Dennis.In the state of surprise, I lifted him up so I could stare directly at him. “How are you doing today Dennis?”“He is doing perfectly fine as you can see.” I heard her cheeky voice from behind me. I knew it was her just by her cinnamon scent. I turned back to see her beautiful face as Dennis tried to force his fingers in my mouth. She was frowning, her hands at akimbo. S
LAURA I was devastated, I was confused at the moment. I didn't know what to do, how was I going to deal with Delvin? How could he comes back now after five years? I turned to Dennis and squatted over to his level.“I don't want to see you with this man again, Dennis,” I said in a hard tone, I cared less about what might happen in the future if Dennis ever found out that Delvin was his father. All I cared about, right now, was to make sure Delvin didn't get close to Dennis.“But why mommy?” Dennis asked, I stole a glance at Delvin who was standing behind us. He didn't seem ready to leave.“He's a bad person son, and you know bad people hurt innocent people. So, you have to stay away from him or else he will hurt you,” I warned sternly. Delvin grabbed my wrist as he gave me a hard glare.“What the hell are you saying to the little boy, Laura?” He yelled, “How can you say such a thing to-”“Let go of me, you bad man!” I yelled and pushed him away.“I'm surprised at your behavior Laura,”
LAURAI snapped my eyes open, only to shut it almost immediately because of the ray of light that flooded the room.I counted ten in my head before I slowly opened my eyes.It took a few minutes for my eyes to adapt to the lighting and when it did, I sat up on my son's bed.The previous night, instead of sleeping in my room, I decided to spend my night with Dennis.Last night was one that I wouldn't forget in a hurry.Devin's appearance was posing a big threat to my mental health and to my overall well-being.Wrapping my hand around Dennis' waist, I pulled him close then began to cuddle him.I brought my head down to his, then planted a soft kiss on it.My action made him turn in his sleep, but didn't wake up.“Why did you come back?” I asked in my head as Devin's face flashed in my head.I shook my head to toss the thought away, but it was no use.Devin's picture was stamped in my memory.“With Devin reappearing, things won't be as it were before. A lot of things are going to change
LAURA The wind went through the room in what looked to be a perfect interlude.Lights wound around the wooden frames of the window letting in the breeze.It looked like a perfect morning but it was far from it, as a matter of fact the morning was far from perfect, I couldn't explain it but the thought that delvin was back in a way was tormenting my mind.I tossed and turned on the bed, but it could only be so comfortable having been his thoughts were not heavily in mind. However, I had a way of dealing with this…Unease drifted through my body like a kindled fire with no smoke and I did all I could to get it off my chest.I could hear the sound of people around but it looked like I was completely alone. It was so quiet I could hear my heart beating in my chest.I took another glance at the window lost in thought and buried so deep .The thought left a stain that permanently warmed my skin.It might be unpleasant speaking to him, but it was too easy to look in hisdirection once
DELVIN POVI was beyond pissed as I stormed towards my car in the garage.When Laura and Dennis came around earlier, I was in the garage and unknowingly to them, I had listened to every bit of their conversation.Tired of eavesdropping on their conversation, I decided to go to the garden, pending the time Laura would leave.I didn't want to walk up to Steve while she was around because she was going to create a sense which I was not prepared for.On my way to the garden, my eyes met with that of Dennis, who was munching a chocolate bar and staring at me with a grin.He was about to alert Laura and Steve when I placed my fingers across my lips.He got the hint, and he made a motion of mouth zipping, which I chuckled at.He must have learned it from Laura because she always did that.As I was about to leave, he stole away from the living room without anyone noticing, and together we went to the garden where we had a swell time before Laura came by.When our eyes met earlier, I could see
