CHAPTER EIGHT

EVRIA SIGRID'S POV

I woke up as the ray of the morning sun shone in the room through the window curtain.

I rubbed my eyes and searched for my phone.

I still felt so bad that Grian had to send me a

text later on, that he can't make it again cause he got an urgent call from his boss to come to the office right away.

I sighed again, remembering how bad I felt

yesterday.

I dropped back my phone and went to the

bathroom to brush my teeth.

After brushing and cleaning my face, I walked out, grabbed my phone and walked out to the kitchen.

The kitchen is perfect and a small breakfast bar with just two seats opposite each other is at the center.

I walked over to the counter, it's actually

empty cause I've not bought the dishes and

foodstuffs yet.

I'm going to do that today, I'm on a day

leave today.

I walked out and came out to the sitting-room.

I sat down on on the pourple couch as I took

the remote from the table and switched on the TV.

I decided to watch a Filipino movie.

I crossed my leg and my arms as I watched.

A call came in few minutes later.

‘Grian' so I thought but it was Mom.

I picked it up.

“Good morning Mom.” I greeted with a smile.

“How are you doing honey?” She asked.

“Im fine, and you Mom?”

“Fine honey, I called to hear from you. You're

staying home today right?”

“Yes Mom. I have to go buy my kitchen

utensils and fill up my cabinet and fridge.” I

said.

“Very good dear. What about Alyss? Won't she come over to help you?”

“No Mom, she's going to work.” I replied.

“Oh maybe Vida should come over.”

“No mom, Vida can't miss school. I can go

alone. I got my car with me.” I said.

“Alright honey, take care of yourself okay?” She said.

“I will Mom, and you too.” I said and then the

call dropped.

I smiled and rested my head on the seat back.

But I wasn't watching the TV anymore. My

mind went back to yesterday.

When that—that what?

The guy—

Oh they said he's name is 'Joy'.

Like, why did he look at others frighteningly

and then looked at me coldly and naive.

And he looked quite dirty and too matured to

steal an 'ordinary' football.

I chuckled as I remembered how he threw the dirty ball inside his shirt and held it there with his hands.

Gosh, that was too childish.

I stopped chuckling but ended up bursting into a laughter.

No, I mean that was so childish.

GRIAN ALLESTAIRE'S POV

“Faye, won't you leave today? You've

been here for two nights. Come on, I got a

girlfriend.” I said as she sat at the center of

the bed, her legs crossed, a pillow on her

thigh and her phone in her hands.

While I was standing near the bed, facing her.

She looked up and smiled, “Grian, I really

missed you. Let's just spend a week together. Your girlfriend won't be aware if you don't tell her. Come on, after all I was your girlfriend too” She said.

“You was. Get it, You are not right now, you

almost made me lose Evie. Do you know

what I get from her huh!?” I half yelled.

“Well, sex and money. What else? You don't

love her like you told me. You just dump her when you are satisfied.” She said.

I shook my head, “Now, that's none of your

business. You gotta leave today.” He said.

She laughed, “You can't do this to me Grian, I'm your cousin right? I'm pretending to be your cousin so I'll be spending my whole week here.” She said then layed down and

spread her hands wide, grinning.

“My goodness.” She laughed.

I stared disgustingly at her before storming

out of my room to the sitting-room. I slumped into a sofa.

Gosh!

This girl is just a headache.

She almost made me break up with Evie when I still need to get a huge amount of money from her before dumping her ass.

Gosh! Why did I even had to meet Faye now.

She was one of my girlfriends in university

days.

Yeah.

Well, she was the best out of them all and

when I mean 'best' I mean 'best in making love.'

We lost contact after we left school and now

she had to show up from nowhere.

Saying she travelled out, lost her lines and so on.

I planned on her spending just a night but now it became two nights.

Though she's been making herself useful but I don't want her sleeping here again.

Come on. What if Evie just appear!?

I got up and went back to my room to find her putting on a white headset and humming lowly with her eyes closed.

I hissed, walked over and and pulled the

headset off and she opened her eyes and

stopped humming.

“What's that baby?” She asked.

“I'm going to work remember. So you are

dressing up and I'm dropping you off.” I said

and walked out.

I got to the kitchen and made myself a tea

with buttered bread.

I sat down on top of my counter and was eating when she walked in, putting on my red and grey long-sleeved shirt.

She widened her eyes as she stared at the plate and bread in a saucer.

“Baby, you are so eating without me? Come

on. Let me have some now.” She said as she

pushed the breakfast bar chair forward to the counter, jumped on it and took the tea.

She drank, dropped back the cup and grinned.

“I love this. Bread please.” She said and took

two piece of slice bread.

I shook my head as I watched her drink down the tea I just made for myself.

I came down, left the tea for her and walked

out to take my bathe.

“I'm bathing with you!” She yelled and her

footsteps followed.

This girl must be a witch.

I was almost in the bathroom when she rushed in and ran into the bathroom before I did.

I stood at the door, fuming within.

“What's it Faye? I thought you heard me when I said that I'm going to work.” I said.

She smiled and catwalked slowly forward,

putting her hands on my chest and caressing it.

She bit her bottom lip, “Baby just let me spend another day here. My Mom's not home and I'm really scared of staying in that house.” She said in a really soft tone, I could only describe as 'sexy.'

Is she tryna seduce me into accepting her to

stay back tonight again?

She brough her lips close to kiss me but I

faced away.

“I wanna take my bath Faye. Go out of the

way now.” I said.

“Of course you will.” She said and shifted into the bathroom and I came in.

I pulled off my T-shirt and shorts, she was

there staring with a stupid smile.

I was about taking off my boxer when I looked fiercely at her.

“Will you stand there staring? Go out!” I

barked.

She crossed her arms, “There's nothing bad in seeing my boyfriend take his bath, stop

talking as if I've not been seeing it all this

while and those days in school.” She said and winked.

Huh! I scoffed.

“And who is your boyfriend?” I asked.

“You of course baby.” She said in that same

'sexy' tone.

I hissed.

EVRIA SIGRID'S POV

It was 2 PM and I was driving back from the

mall where I had gone to buy my kitchen

untensils, pots, plates and foodstuffs.

I talked with Grian before I went and he said

he's at work.

I told him I guess I'll come over to his house

tonight but he said it's better he come over to my new house to feel how it is and make up for not coming yesterday.

I smiled recalling all we have said to each

other on the phone.

About our love for each other.

I turned into Lareen Street which is my house street.

Just as I drove a little more towards house 33, which is my house, I sighted him.

Joy.

I slowed my car.

He was still on the same yesterday clothes with a tyre in his hand.

They were four kids around him.

They all had tyre with them.

They were laughing and pulling on his shirt.

Seconds later he began running forward,

riding the tyre and laughing, the kids

loudly pursued him riding their own tyre.

He ran pass my car with the kids and I

watched him from the side-view mirror.

When they were out of sight.

I speed up my car and pulled up at my gate.

I got down and opened the gate and went back into my car.

I don't know if I need a gateman.

Maybe I do.

I drove in, got down and closed the gate too.

Joy.

Playing tyre-ride with those little kids.

He look really matured.

What's wrong?

Later the night, Grian showed up. Gosh! I was so excited.

He kept apologizing for not coming yesterday.

He helped me arrange my kitchen and then he cooked.

Wow, this boyfriend of mine.

I love him so much.

We made breathtaking love that night.

Though I had to miss him so much cause he

still left that night, saying he's leaving really

early to work tomorrow.

“I'm so sorry baby, I promise to come later

after work. I'm just gonna leave so early to

work tomorrow.” He had said.

“It's fine babe. Just gonna miss you.” I had

relpied.

“I'll miss youu more baby. I swear.” He had

said and we kissed before he got into his car

and left.
