Miss Delilah?"
"
Oh Rowan how many times do I have to ask you to stop calling me miss?
I'm okay with Del"
I waited patiently wondering when she'd notice or at least let the guard speak
"Miss Delilah... 'er... Del... you have a visitor"
"Who?"
"Me"
The shock was visible in the way she tensed
And as she turned to face me I couldn't help but notice the huge smudge of syrup on her face staining her perfectly shaped full lips
"How can I help you" she said
"There are some issues that needs to be discussed"
"Next time you choose to show up at my house uninvited, give me a heads up" she said wiping of the smudge off her face
I looked at her wondering how she could have gotten so much syrup on her face as my eyes trailed down her long legs...
"Lorenzo you were saying?"
"Yes,... the council members advised that we hasten the marriage and by that I mean they want us married in three months"
"Three what?... What do you mean three months?"
"Let me finish, you're coming with me today so pack your bags"
"Haha... Haha... hahaha... a joke this is a joke some kinda dumb joke, listen if you came all the way dressed all fancy to play some kinda shitty prank on me then know it didn't work, I'm not falling for it"
"Look, I dont fancy this either and I do not have time to waste on irrelevant talks... so do as I say, pack your bags and let's go"
I watched as she looked at me in utter disbelief and shock and I smirked on the inside knowing I had struck a nerve... she stormed off up the stairs making sure the sound of her feet making contacting with the ground was loud enough to course a headache.
Moments later she came down the stairs with two boxes And the same outfit she had on earlier.
" let's go... Rowan take my bags to my car"
" you'll be riding with me"
" keep dreaming Gucci"
Gucci? Why did she call me Gucci?...
"The bags go in my car and as I said You are ridding with me" I said with more authority and command making her shiver a bit.
The guard looked at her for permission and when she nod her head I knew I had won
The drive to my house was silent and long with only the sound of the car engine being heard
When we finally reached the house I stepped out of the car signalling for a guard to come take her bags
Wondering why she hadn't come out yet I stepped close to the door about to open it when she pushed the door open heading straight out of the car and towards the front of the house like she knew the place...
I walked steadily after her intrigued as to how feisty she was
DEL'S POV
Pulling up at the mansion i was engulfed in multiple thoughts
"was this the last i would see of my father?
Was I ever going to go home again... And why did I feel a certain wave of relief"
Still engulfed in my thoughts I didn't notice when Alonzo appeared by the door and I pushed it open...
I must admit it felt good cuz I still held grudges from that day at the gathering and this morning, i didn't finish my food...
I walked fast knowing I didn't have a clue where I was heading then stoped in from of what seemed to be the entrance as I saw Alonzo walk up from behind and held the door open for me.
As I stepped into the house I realised the outside was nothing compared to the beauty of the inside with beautiful decorations that clearly showed it was a bachelor's house

ALONZO'S LIVING ROOM
I was in total awe taking in the sent of the house and how beautiful the interior decor was... but shortly after my thoughts were interrupted by a relatively loud Lorenzo
"Let me show you to your room"
We walked up a flight of stairs beautifully decorated as he lead me to a room, the door to the room opened and I was stunned by the beautiful decoration of the room, it was so different from what I had seen downstairs with a more vibrant colour and breath taking decoration

"You will be sleeping here
If you need anything use the phone by the bed someone will attend to you"
I couldn't help but role my eyes at how serious and formal he was... How was I supposed to get married to a man that was this formal and authoritative
As I walked further into the room I almost immediately noticed the most beautiful view I had ever seen my entire life from the window... I could see the large pool and everything outside the compound... the beautiful palm trees and beautiful birds that flew from trees to trees.
I walked to the closet taking my time to arrange my clothes... it took about an hour but I was finally done and sweaty, I decided to take a nice warm shower and relax it was already evening so I was pretty tired from the drive and closet arranging
I walked into the bathroom took my clothes off and went into the shower
As the warm water driped on my skin making my hair cascade down my body, I closed my eyes taking deep breaths feeling refreshed by the feeling of the water on my body.
I presses the strawberry sented body wash on my sponge and gently scrub my body with it, when I was done I reached out to grab a towel but there weren't any
"Oh no now I'd have to walk outta the bathroom naked to get one... just wonderful"
As I walked outta the bathroom and closed the door I was met with Alonzo's gaze... I looked at him with utter shock struggling to get anything to cover up with he just stood there looking at me like he was staring at some kind of food... I reached out and grabbed a cushion from the chair covering the little I could waiting for someone to break the silence
"Dinner will be ready in 30, be down by then"
That was all he said before walking outta the room... wow what a jerk, I would have given him a piece of my mind if I wasn't so.... well surprised?
I got ready, put on an easy short and a tank top slipping my feet into my trusty flip flops and ready to head downstairs... I came outta my room,down the stairs and into the leaving room but then it hit me I didn't know where the dinning room was I wondered around the house hoping I would find the dinning room...
"Oh shit, my first day here and I'm already lost"
"What are you doing here?" ...
"I was on my way to the dinning room, then I realised I have no idea where it is and you didn't tell me either..."
I'm pretty sure if he didn't cut in I would have kept on ranting
"Follow me"
Man is this guy bossy, "follow me" I said in a very sarcastic voise hoping he didn't hear me ... moments later we got to the dining and the food was already served...
I sat down and instantly dived in... eating like a hungry buffalo.... but then I remembered I wasn't alone.... shit!
I looked up and saw him watching me
"What?... I'm hungry"
"Go easy on the food before you accidentally eat the plate"
"Was that him trying to be funny?, so he does have a sense of humour... maybe there's a side to this man I don't know...yet" i thought to myself as i continued to eat
