Time of escape.
Lucia told the driver to take another direction that would lead to another street .
The driver obeyed and quickly diverted but he was smart enough to follow them .
Lucia cussed him under her breath . Today wasn’t her day really as she had claimed .
” Driver you see that car following us , I want you to turn him around till doesn’t get a glimpse of us again ” she said and the driver nodded .
” But ma it’s an increase in your bills you know” he said.
” Just drive ” she almost snapped but tried to stay cool.
The driver being familiar with the road , he sped off taking a turn which has four juncture .
He made a round before taking the straight road and sped off.
Tony banged his fist hard on the steering wheel on the realization that he had missed her .
Damn.
He was sure going to get her because he admired her and wants to get to know more about her .
He reversed and rode through the way be had come . Lucia heaved a sigh of relief on seeing they had outrun him.
She smiled at the driver’s road skills as he took the road that would lead him to her direction .
She hummed along with the music playing out from the car’s stereo and did a victory clap .
The driver watched her amused and shook his head at her free spirit.
He decided to break the silence within them as he spoke up .
” Why is he following you ” he asked and Lucia sighed .
“Well I don’t know , he is a total jerk if I must say ” she paused as she narrated everything that happened at the shop.
” Maybe be is an admirer you know . A pretty lady like you would get a lot of admirers and to top it all you are not married so it’s normal you get things like this ” He said and Lucia laughed .
” Well whatever , that guy isn’t just my type of person, he is too .,,, I don’t know how to say it anyway but I think dominating is the word or maybe ,, well anyhow ” she said and she could hear the rib cracking laughter of the driver already .
” It’s not funny” she said with a sad pout and the driver tried to muffle his laughter but it couldn’t stop.
” And now he is trailing me . I think he escaped from the psychiatric hospital a while ago ” she said and he laughed before shutting up .
” Do you know if he is your soulmate ” he said and Lucia sent a murderous glare at him and he clamped his mouth shut.
He knew he had just overstepped his boundaries and apologized immediately .
” Its fine ” she simply said and stopped talking .
The driver parked the car at the gate of the house and Lucia handed him the debit card and typed in the pin .
She was about walking towards the gate when she saw Lucien outside waiting for her.
She saw a surprised look on the driver’s face as he drove off .
Well he might think she was married or he was shocked to see one of the popular CEO outside with shirt and shorts .
Whichever way , his headache not hers.
She said as she walked to Lucien who hugged her kissing her neck leaving Lucia in shock .
..
Damon picked up his bag as he was preparing to go to Quinn’s house to help her do her project since he was still good in literature .
He brushed his hair to make sure he looked good and he remembered the discussion he had with Mrs Spencer two days back .
.( ” Damon , do you know why I sent for you ” she asked
” No I don’t ” he said looking at her keenly
” Well I want to give you some advice . You know you and Quinn are still in college and huh shouldn’t have sex now because it would deter you and her from studying ” she said and he nodded .
” You see Quinn is my only daughter , my son Lucien is doing well and I don’t want my daughter to go a wrong way all for love ” she said and Damon rubbed his hand to hide his nervousness . He hoped the conversation wasn’t going to where he thinks it is.
” So I want you guys to stay clear away from sex and smooching ..
Damon palmed his face in embarrassment at the way the words flow out .
“. Ok mom I have heard you and I will try my possible best to stay clear ” he said and she smiled rubbing his hair .
” But mom , a question . Can we kiss ” he said whispering and she had laughed and laughed that day . )
Remembering the question now made Damon laugh since he had been too nervous that day to share in the laughter.
He was happy she had given him a positive answer because he can’t withstand her lips .
He walked out his room and met his grandparents having coffee in the dinning room.
He walked up to them and kissed his grandmother’s cheek before giving his grandfather a fist bump .
” Where are you off to ” Grandfather Hudson asked .
” Off to Quinn’s . Have a project to work on ” he said and his grandmother smiled a silly smile and Damon groaned because he knew where his grandmother was headed .
” Be a good boy Damon and make sure it stops on the project and not on her lips ” she said with a cheky smile and Damon laughed .
” You bet ” he said before hurrying out of the house .
” Such wonderful girl that he fell for , after all the girls that were after him back then ” Grand mother Hudson said with a smile .
” Well love is magical , and love is divine so this is divine ” Grandfather said and they both laughed at their words .
They hoped the relationship goes perfectly well as theirs have been and even better.
