★‡‡Breyson's P .O. V‡‡★
"Merly?!!! Is that your ex's name?!" asked Belinda!
"Yeah!" I answered while showing her around the kitchen. See, I must also add that I stock food but in most cases I take a cup of coffee and I'm good, a glass of milk or anything light. I'm not lazy, I really know how to cook but I find it funny going through all the hustle and end up eating alone, it really sucks!
"I think we're on the same page!" She laughed. I guess tonight we can have a normal meal, right?" She asked, opened the fridge as her beautiful eyes rolled at every corner. I couldn't stop staring at her. Turned quickly before I could get caught.
"What are you looking at?!" She asked with her hands on the hips making me wish, if only her hands were mine, the things I could have done...I would caress them as though it was my first time to touch a woman.
"Hey! I'm asking you?!" She asked the second time snapping me out of my ridiculous thoughts.
"Nothing...?! What?!" I murmered.
"I caught you looking at me! Look at you, it's as if you've just seen a ghost! What are you thinking about!" She said while chopping some vegetables.
"Do you really want to know what I was thinking about?" I asked her. Made my way to where she was chopping from. Be careful with that knife!" I warned, You're trembling!" I chuckled.
"Breyson! Make one more step towards me and I will stub you, call the cops and hand myself in!" She yelled pointing the knife towards me. I ignored that though and went on.
"Hey Bel! Stub me with that knife and I will be on the verge of dying knowing that indeed heros do exist because trust me with all that love sparkling in your eyes, I'm sure I will make it out alive!" I yelled back.
"Breyson I'm serious, don't come close! Would you let me concentrate?!" She pleaded.
"But I don't want to, you are so contagious, especially when you give me that angeligue gaze!" I groaned. Sneaked slowly to her back, tickled her love handles.
"Stop it.." she tried to speak, seemed like she was almost out of air, as though she was trying to catch her breath. I could feel her body vibrating. I Know she feels something for me.
"Why....?" I asked in an extremely low voice one that only the two of us would hear. What are you afraid of? Will you ever trust me one day? I went on, passing my fingers all around her neck, turn around and look at me..." I pleaded.
She turned around but more slowly like she wasn't sure if she should turn around or not.
Tell me, what are you afraid of? I've tried to show my interest in you but you keep turning me down. I know you've had your setbacks when it comes to these things but I've been there too! I don't want to promise you anything, let's just believe that we just met on a bus and just trying to get along with each other without expecting anything much in return..let's give ourselves another chance and see how things go by. I want to promise you though, I won't force you into something you don't like or that is not in your own concept.
"But that's what we've been doing!" She argued.
"No Bel! That's not enough! I want more! Just stop it, you're only hurting my feelings!" I yelled.
"No, it's you that is hurting my feelings! A while ago you just confessed Merly is still on your mind! You talked about her as though she was holding something so precious to you in her custody, and you want me to believe everything you're telling me now! Come on!" She said with so much anger I didn't know she was holding! Turned around and put the Vegetables to boil. Does that mean she's jealous! I laughed to that but of course in my head.
"Bring, let me help you with that. Do the chicken and I will help you with the macaroni." I said to her. She agreed to it but without a single look towards me.
"Listen, I admit Merly is still on my mind, it's quite difficult for me to erase her from my mind just like that but that doesn't mean I shouldn't try my best. I need you to help me, please." I begged.
"Okay, so how about we start by you stopping to mention that name, Merly! Delete every photo of her from your phone!" She demanded.
"Is that a yes?!" I smiled. Here see, Merly is deleted.
"I didn't say that, I'm just a friend trying to get my friend out of a mess which he doesn't seem like getting out of." She joked, put the chicken in the oven and turned to face me. Everything about her simply amazes me.
"Is the macaroni ready?" She asked.
"No need to rush, I'll take you home!" I replied.
"That doesn't answer my question!" She laughed out loud.
"That ain't funny!" I faked my anger just to see how she would react to it aside from that, I loved watching her smile and with so much happiness.
"If you don't find it funny, it's none of my business." She replied, come on help me set the table.
I went ahead and organised the table, she brought the food and begun to serve. Said a simple prayer after and we begun to dig in.
"I'm not going to say anything about your cooking, I already expected it. There's no doubt you're a great chef." I said, if we still had time, I would love to have the dessert as well but I know you won't agree to that.
"Yeah, probably some other time." She answered as she placed a piece of chicken inside her mouth.
"You're doing it again, stop watching me and eat your food." She said.
"You have food at the corner of your lips." I told her. She quickly got a tissue and wiped it off.
.........................................................................................
"Okay now, you can go sit on the couch, watch some movies if you like as I do the dishes. Then after that I will take you home." I said while picking up the plates and everything.
"Wait what?! No, I'm not letting you do that!" She quickly stood up and took the plates from my hands.
"No way! I took the plates back from her. It's not a request, it's a command! Go and watch some movies, I got this! You've already done so much for me!" I demanded.
"Okay if you insist." She surrendered.
"Will you ever tell me why you wanted to leave early last time!" I asked her on top of my voice from the kitchen.
"I wanted to check on my mum! I can't find any movie here, can you please come help me out!" She yelled back.
"Mum?! I thought you said you're aunt killed your parents! Please explain that!" I said while wiping the last glass, placed it carefully in the upper drawer, got some crisps and went ahead to join her.
"Here, hold this." I handed a bowl of crisps to her. You say you can't find any movie, hmm!
"You've got so many movies but I didn't find any horror!" She complained.
"So you prefer things that scare the hell out of you, don't worry next time you come, you will find them in plenty. So what should we watch? I asked.
"Anything you like." She answered.
"Nooo, I don't want to enjoy alone, how about we play some soft music as you tell me more about yourself. We could also look at a few photos for your car, maybe you could get interested in one. What happened to your mum honestly?!" I asked.
"My mum is in a mental hospital, I'm am so sure that my aunt is responsible for it. I watched a video of her killing my dad over a certain property dad had given my mum." Belinda answered.
"That's so heart breaking. Don't you think you're risking your life if you keep investigating your aunt. How about you take that matter to the police!" I suggested.
"The police can't do anything, and if they do, their investigation takes ages! In the process, they get bribed and that's when the only evidence you had disappears! I need to do this by myself!" She replied.
"Okay, I will help you!" I said.
"You will?! Thank You!" She seemed amazed.
"Of course I will, I can't simply keep a blind eye on everything you have just told me! Just keep me updated." I replied.
"See, take a close look at these." I show her some of the car images in my gallery.

"I love that! Is that a Maserati?! Wow it's so lovely! Wait what is this Breyson?! I thought you deleted all Merly's photos! Can you explain this?!" She asked furiously.
"I swear I deleted everything right before you! You saw me! I didn't know that was still in the folder!" I answered.
"You know what, I can't do this! I'm leaving!" She yelled.
"Oh please! Come here!" I quickly grab her hand and stop her from going.
"Alright, I hope it's the last one! Breyson, the last one!" She warned me.
"You know what I want to do right now?" I asked.
"Tell me!" She answered while biting her bottom lip. I could already tell she knows what's happening next.
I couldn't waste any more time, and so I grabbed her waist and next thing I knew, she was already kissing me back!
"I guess we were all badly waiting for this! Gosh! You're so good!" I groaned.
She grabbed my lips again and kissed me like it's forever. A part of her didn't want me to stop but then the other part wasn't sure if she was only a fling for me.
I smoothly laid her down on the couch and suddenly maybe she realized things were going way too fast! Indeed everything was going way to fast and I wasn't able to resist her.
"Brey-- Breys... Breyson, please stop." She said lazily.. like she wanted me to continue but she wasn't sure if she should let me, licked her lips in a way that makes any man run out of their senses. I was hot and out of control. Damn! Those lips!
