? CHAPTER NINE?
ARIKÉ'S POV
I watched David as he drove expecting him to say something about what he had just said but he didn't. Just breathe, it's just to see his mum right? I mean what could possibly go wrong? When was I to meet with her? What kind of half information did David give me like this?
"When am I to meet with her?" I asked as I couldn't contain myself anymore,he looked over at me with a smile, what's there to smile about?
"Tomorrow" he replied and I frowned again isn't that just too soon? , And like he could read my mind he added " don't let that bother you, you'd be by my side tomorrow , so anyone who wants to hurt you would have to go through me" he said and I let out a sigh of relief.
I sat properly on the chair resting my head backwards as we drove through the free road. I decided to let the whole thing out of my mind till tomorrow comes that is.
We arrived at a house, this was a different one, it looked smaller and more homely , David drove into the garage and parked. He led me into the house and I decided not to ask questions just yet.
"Is this yours?" I asked finally after we walked in
"Yeah, make yourself comfortable, I'll be back in a minute" he replied and walked into one of the rooms. I dropped my bag and walked right into the kitchen, don't blame me, he said I should make myself comfortable ...
I began to open the kitchen cabinets in search of anything Nigerian, he should have something at least. From what I've heard his mother was born in Nigeria but travelled overseas when she was little. That should make him half Nigerian right? I continued searching but I couldn't find any reasonable ingredient.
"Are you hungry?" I heard his voice making me turn around , he was changed again to a white shirt that had it's upper button loosed revealing a little bit of his chest area,I noticed the half heart chain, I had worn mine too but the pendant was tucked into my top, I blushed and turned around Instantly.
"You are out of groceries" I replied and I could hear his laughter, he walked close to me.
"I do have groceries, probably not something you would like" he said walking to the refrigerator with me following him behind, he opened it and I gasped it was fully stocked.
"Anything Nigerian?" I blurted out
"I'll make something for you, why don't you go to the dining and wait?" He said and I nodded without much argument, I just needed to leave the kitchen area, it was becoming too small for the two of us.
I walked to the fancy dining room and sat down waiting for him, my eyes travelled throughout the living room from where I was seated, I took out my phone and began to fondle with it but there was nothing of interest on it to me. I looked at the time, twenty minutes had already passed. I became tired of waiting, that was when my thoughts went to what happened the last time we saw each other, he had almost kissed me, oh my gosh! I used my palm to cover my cheeks, what would our first kiss feel like sef.. no what does it even feels like to kiss someone, hopefully he wouldn't be able to tell that I haven't had my first kiss yet ...
I was so deep in my unhealthy thoughts that I didn't hear him walk out of the kitchen.
"What's on your mind?" He asked jolting me out of my thoughts.
"Not..hi..ng" I stuttered, I'm definitely not letting him know what was on my mind!, I watched him nod and place a big bowl of spaghetti on the table. Without being told I went to the kitchen and took some plates and cutleries with me. He brought the sauce and walked out with me. We both arranged the table and served ourselves soon we were seated and we began to eat.
The food tasted better than I had expected, but I noticed the spice level was really reduced. When we were done we settled for a non-alcoholic wine, the time was already 8:00pm, I wasn't that bothered because it was much safer to move in the night over here than Nigeria or so I heard.
"So what's your mother like?" I asked breaking the silence, he raised his eyebrows probably wondering why I'm bringing her up, truth is as calming as his words were I could still feel a little fear in my heart.
"She's er.. not the easiest person to impress" he replied with a laugh making me laugh too
"Really? And I have to impress her tomorrow?"
"No you don't, just be yourself she'll come around, you'll see"
"What's it like being famous and all?" I asked , to avoid any form of silence
"It's draining but fun I guess"
"Of course it's fun you get to have a lot of girls flocking around you" I replied with an eye roll and he smirked
"I don't see them though" he replied
"Do you see me?"
"Even more than you think" he whispered and I felt blood rush to my cheeks, even though we were distanced he still had such effect on me, anyways he does have his way with words.
"And Peaches you see her too?" I quickly added staring at him daringly
"Kathrine I see just you.. everywhere, in my dreams, in the sky, name it" he replied and I nodded closing my eyes momentarily
"Alright stop , you are too good with words" I replied blushingly. Then we heard a loud lighting outside, I shook a little out of fear. David stood up and walked to the windows to cover the blinds.
Suddenly we heard the sound of a loud thunderstorm, I stood up this time and ran towards David why did it decide to rain now? Ohh God how would I get to my hostel. David wrapped me in his arms as if trying to calm me down.
"You would have to text your roommate , I don't think it's safe to drive back today" he said with a low voice and I froze.. would I be sleeping here? I walked away from his grip and went to make the call to Ha-eun, immediately I called her, she told me to find somewhere to stay for the night because of how dangerous it was for me to come under the rain and I haven't even explained the whole situation to her yet, I wished her a goodnight and hung up the phone call.
I walked back to where David was and was about to speak when we heard a knock on the door. Whoever the person was he/she was knocking furiously. David went to the door and opened it, the person instantly rushed into the house, I hadn't seen the person yet, when the person removed the coat that was when I saw her.
"Peaches?" I gasped she doesn't ever give up does she? It seemed like she wasn't expecting me to be at David's place too because she looked surprised.
"David what's she doing here by this time of the night?" She said and I couldn't help but laugh, how can someone be this cheap?
"No Peaches, what are you doing here?" I asked and she rolled her eyes and was about to talk when we heard David's voice
"Peaches please leave" he said and then we heard the sound of another thunderstorm, I wrapped my hands around myself in fear.
"David please, it's raining cats and dogs outside, you can't possibly send me back" She said sounding innocent, while I just kept quiet
"Not now Peaches, just leave I don't want to hear any more of your excuses, leave now!"
"David you can't do this! I'll tell your mom about this if you dare send me out in the rain" she protested
"Let her stay" I said before I could stop myself, since i was going to see David's mother the next day, I didn't want any more negative thing attached to my name.
"Are you sure?" David asked me and I nodded meanwhile I wasn't sure at all.
"How many guest rooms do you have?" I asked, suddenly realizing that I should have asked this question first before talking.
"Just one" he replied and my eyes widened, who would spend the night in David's room?
