Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Charles crashed down on one of the seats in the bar he frequently visited alongside Xander, except that the latter wasn’t here today..

He knew that he shouldn’t be feeling this way but he couldn’t help it..

Just why? that was the question that kept popping up in his head, he and Xander never took any lady seriously but why now? and also with the same woman?

A drink or two was all he needed to come back to his senses, a familiar laughter took him out of his mind protests..

Following the direction of the laughter his eyes settled at a table quite a distance away from him..

A curvy lady on red could be seen on one of the tables in the bar moving her hips skillfully to the beats of the music..

Though it was dimly lit, he still managed to recognize her, the table was immediately surrounded by a few guys cheering her up as she swayed to the beat..

One could tell that she was drunk just by looking at her slurpy movement.

“Shelly?” He mouthed in surprised..

He touched the side of his head wondering what she was up to..

Her loud laughter reached his ears again and when he took a look back at her direction, she was no longer on the table but in the midst of the guys who touched her inappropriately at every chance they could get..

Anger flashed past his blue orbs, he stood up abruptly from his seat walking in large strides to them..

Once he was close enough, he shoved them aside and grabbed her by her arm..

“Yo! man what’s up? you could have waited for your turn” A dark haired young man protested, it was clear that they were all drunk, but regardless, their intentions weren’t pure..

“Come on” He said in a low and firm tone leading Becky out of the bar with him, he could still hear the guys cursing behind him..

He stepped out of the bar with Becky who was giving a fit to go along with him..

“Who.. a.. re you?” she stuttered trying to keep her eyes opened..

“What were you thinking getting so drunk? Do you realize what might have happened to you in there if i didn’t stop by?”

Becky’s jaw dropped in surprise staring at his face, Charles noticed the weird change in her behavior and was alarmed..

Was there something on his face?

She tilted her head to the side before raising her hands to his face..

“it’s you.. my prince charming” She cried out dejectedly..

“What are you doing?” He panicked taking her hands off his face, she suddenly sent a punch to his chest which didn’t hurt a bit..

Tears formed at the corner of her eyes threatening to fall out..

“You’re cheating on me!.. I don’t want to see you anymore! I hate you!” She screamed out at the top of her lungs diverting a few gazes to them..

Charles was quick to react, he placed a palm over her mouth to hush her up, people might get the wrong idea of everything if she continued to speak in her drunken state..

“Shelly have you lost your mind?”

“You don’t even remember my name!” She wailed kicking and throwing her hands up in the air like a spoilt kid..

Olivia stared out of the car as soon as it stopped moving, she unbuckled her seatbelt ready to bolt out of the car when his hand caught her wrist..

“Why are you in a hurry to always leave my side?”

His question made her heart skip a beat, she slowly turned to him with a small frown on her face…

“Really? I can’t believe you’re asking me this, you ignored all my calls and texts last night and you also ignored me all day.. what else am I supposed to do?”

Damien peeled his gaze off her, he also had a tough time doing what a book suggested, he had spent the last days doing everything in a recently acquired book..

He was really trying his best to win her over but she was making things a little bit hard for him, whenever things looked right between them, a little fight between them could create a big distance..

“I’m sorry that I ignored you all day.. I was upset but I figured out things won’t progress much if we are stuck fighting over and over again..”

The once cool car suddenly became hot and unbearable for Olivia as she took several deep breaths to calm her racing nerves down..

“I’m also sorry for what I said to you the previous day..”

He left her wrist bringing his hand to her hair which he stroked gently..

“It’s fine.. so this is a good start right?” He asked staring at her meaningfully..

“umm” she hummed in response..

Damien flashed her a small smile which turned upside down the moment his eyes caught a fancy car parked by the side of her building..

Olivia followed his line of sight when she noticed the change in his expression..

“Umm I guess he’s here.. I’d get going now” She announced pushing the door a little when she heard his voice again..

“He? you’re expecting a male guest?”

Olivia gave a nod, this would be the first official dinner meeting with Nathan who Cassie has spoken a lot about..

“Umm yeah.. my aunt wanted me to meet him before he leaves the country in two days time”

Damien’s brows arched, and here he thought that he was the only one in their hearts but it seemed that they were trying other prospectives just in case things didn’t end well for him and Olivia..

Not on his watch, he declared inwardly unfastening his seat belt..

“I want to see Kelvin..”

Olivia stepped out of the car right after he did, she wondered what brought about the sudden change of mind..

She caught up with his large strides as he turned around going into the building, she managed to catch up with him..

“I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to come now Damien-

Damien stopped on his tracks placing his two hands on his waist, he narrowed his eyes down at her..

She must be feeling scared that he would eventually find out that she was still open for blind dates..

“Why? you don’t want to upset him?” he questioned meaningfully..

His eyes fell on the black Benz which was the same model as his..

He was rich alright, but who could compare to him in the country?

Olivia was left confused by his sudden behavior, she wondered what he was talking about..Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

He took her silence as a ‘yes’ which only made his blood boil, the thought of some other man getting her attention at some dumb dinner made him upset..

“Umm.. no not that.. we really weren’t anticipating that you’d come and I’m very sure that they didn’t make enough dinner for an extra”

He snorted at her lame excuse straightening his suit jacket..

“Like I said earlier Olivia.. I’m here for Kelvin not your MALE GUEST” he stressed his last two words and started making his way to the door..

Olivia stood rooted to the ground trying to understand what just happened, why was he suddenly interested in meeting Kelvin?
