(Do Not Copy Or Repost!)
Dave was finally falling asleep after hours to sleep being far away from him when his cellphone rang. He remained where he was, covering his ears with his pillow till it stopped ringing.
He sighed as the phone stopped ringing and just about time, the phone rang again.
He muttered a few cuss words as he pushed himself up from the bed and took his phone, ready to bullshit the one that was calling him at that time.
He checked and saw that it was Louis calling. He contemplated on picking the call but knowing Louis, he won't stop calling until you pick.
He reluctantly picked the call on the third ring.
"Why the fuck are you calling me by this time?" He asked irritatedly.
"Don't you sleep, cos' I do."
"Come over to my place now." Louis ordered and hung up on him.
Sleep starved Dave went back to bed to sleep but as soon as his body hit the bed, his phone rang again.
"God why?" Dave cried out in despair.
He stretched his hand and picked his phone. Swiping to the right, he placed it on his ear.
"Yeah?" He asked, very sure it was Louis.
"Come to my safehouse at the outskirts of the town. Bring along food and water.
I'll be expecting you by noon tomorrow." He said and hung up the second time. This time, Dave relaxed well and within seconds was snoring away.
*************************
Sitting on opposite sides of the chair, Evan and Dolly chatted, laughing at intervals and munching on their meal.
Evan had asked Dolly to lunch the previous day and she had wholeheartedly accepted. What else was she doing than train all day. She also needed time for herself.
"So what work do you do?" Dolly asked Evan.
"I'm a web designer, also a content writer. My room is literally my office.
What about you?" He threw the question back at her.
"I... I." Dolly cleared her throat. "I work for organizations and get my pay. Many organisations need me so I don't work for only one company. The companies also refer me to another and I keep getting huge pays."
She demonstrated the huge with her hand, making her look dramatic as Evan chuckled.
"So what sorta work do you do for the companies?" He inquired.
"Trust me, you don't want to know." She whispered creepily, giving Evan the chills.
Dolly laughed, making Evan feel embarrassed than he already was. Looking away, Evan breathed out a sigh.
"I feel so comfortable around you, like I don't need to hide my flaws. Like I can be the real me." He turned back to face her, holding her hands.
"Will you be my girlfriend Dolly, and then eventually my wife. But being my girlfriend is enough for now. Will you?" He asked again, with all the sincerity he can gather.
Dolly stiffened at his confession. She knew he likes or... or loves her but she definitely wasn't expecting a confession this soon. Her throat went dry as she gulped down nothing. She was rendered speechless.
"Dolly, please say something." Evan pleaded.
"You don't know me Evan, enough to want to date me." She said.
"I don't need to, I just need to know if you feel the same way." He paused then asked.
"Do you love me Dolly?"
Dolly was so sure she loves him but she can't take chances. Evan might be used against her later in the future and she doesn't want that.
But she can take the risk though. She always take risks. She can't imagine Evan being with someone who isn't her. She really does love him.
Nodding her head, she looked deep into his eyes.
"I love you Evan. I really do."
Evan grinned as he heard those words he had been waiting to hear from her. Finally, she's his girl.
He whistled and leaned to her side of the table.
"If there wasn't a table here, I'll definitely be kissing you senseless by now." He took her hand to his lips and kissed it, looking at her with all the care and attention in the world.
Dolly giggled like a kid and tried to take her hands off his to cover her face. She was tomato red from blushing.
"No, don't try to cover your face." Ethan whispered to her. I love it that I'm the only one who can make you blush this way."
She smiled at him, looking everywhere but his eyes. She can't believe she can ve this shy.
Standing up, Evan pulled Dolly with him and after paying for his bills, went out of the restaurant. He's planning on spoiling her because she's now his.
"Where are we going to?" Dolly inquired as they walked towards Evan's car.
"We're going to have fun and I assure you, you're not going to regret this." He opened her door for her to get in.
"Thank you." Dolly muttered while he nodded.
"So we're going to the park right now." Evan said. And from there to the.... zoo?" He asked Dolly who was lost in her own world of staring at Evan.
Evan smiled and pecked her lips, calling her attention.
"A picture will last longer" He commented.
"A picture isn't real. It's just virtual. I can fell you but not the picture." She retorted.
Reaching the park, they walked around, hand in hand without a care about the world. Dolly had never been this free and fulfilled. Maybe having Evan in her life will change her for the better.
She should probably stop her job and dismantle the gang. Evan wouldn't want to be with a gang leader.
Evan turned towards an iced cream store to get ice cream when Dolly's phone rang and by the ringing time, she knows it's not a normal call. It's a business one.
Evan released her hand and went towards the store, leaving her with her phone call.
"This is D.Y" She introduced herself.
"I've got a job for you today. Nevermind, I pay well and will pay you double for the express work."
Dolly considered cutting the date short with Evan but reconsidered.
"I won't be available today. Maybe some other day." She said.
"But I said I will_" Dolly hung up on the caller when she saw Evan approaching with the ice creams.
She switched off her phone and went to meet him, taking one out of the ice creams. If she's to choose between work and this date anytime, it'll be him.
Evan held her hand and they walked off, having fun all the way like any other normal couple.
