After dinner, I went upstairs but still didn't find him. I sat up for several hours reading my erotic novels in order to keep myself busy till Steve arrives. I waited for long but still I didn't see him, I looked up at the clock it was past two. Where could he be by this time of the night? He never told me he kept late nights, I can't possibly spend the night alone...
I rushed down to check if he was downstairs but I didn't find him, I went to Boody's room and called Boody severally but he didn't answer... I knocked on Cassy's door severally but no response... Without a second thought, I knocked on mom's room door once and when I got no response, I tried opening the door but it was locked. *HAIRPIN* I quickly dragged my hairpin forcefully from my hair pulling together some strands of hair, I quickly opened the door and barged in, I was afraid they were all in some secret society and they attended usually at night (I could be very irrational when I'm desperate for something). When I got in, I quickly ran over to the bed.
*Geez*
My eyes, I've only read about this and never saw it in real life.
Dad and mom were both (CENSORED) on bed, mom was sleeping like a baby with her hands holding dad firmly on his midriff and her left leg on top of dad, her innocent and beautiful face was still wearing a smile even when she was asleep. I can't imagine doing this with Steve, he'd definitely kick my as* off. While mom was sleeping and leaning on dad, dad just lay prostrate with his face facing the ceiling. I knew he wasn't sleeping because when I entered, his eyes did a quick wink and blink.
I ran to mom's side and started shaking her with tears in my eyes.
"Mom, mom Steve isn't back yet". I cried out and continued shaking her until she finally woke up fully and sat on the bed.
"What is it dear?". She said rubbing her eyes as she sat up on the bed leaning her head on the headrest.
"Mom, mom Steve isn't back yet. I've searched the whole house but I didn't find him". Even before I finished sobbing, she was already out of bed heading towards the door. I guess Steve was her favorite.
"Mom, you can't go like..." I said pointing at her body.
"Pass me my nightie". She said with an outstretched hand.
I picked up her gown from the floor and gave it to her, she ran out of the room immediately she finished wearing it. She went to the library, then to the garden and also to the patio wall... We checked the full house but he wasn't found, she ran upstairs in order to inform dad... She woke dad, Leo and Cassandra up in order to join in the search but still we didn't find him, Boody also wasn't in the house...
"Bodhi get that thing off my back". Leo said with a serious look. We were all standing outside the house in the long and cold winter night. It was quite obvious that Leo was angry for being woken up at that time of the night because of Steve and Boody. While Cassandra on the other hand was battling with sleep
"Bodhi, I said out..." Leo shouted still looking towards the gate, Boody appeared from behind the dog house.
"Hi, good morning everyone". Boody said smiling and waving at us. I could see through that smile that it wasn't genuine, it held some fear in it.
"What were you doing there?". Dad asked coldly still held in an embrace with mom
"Nothing, I just wanted to check if the dogs were okay". Boody answered with a shrug still wearing the fake smile.
Leo quickly grabbed him with the collar of his shirt and made him stand facing him.
Where is he?
"I...I...I don't know, he only dropped a note that I should capture everything that happens in his absence". Steve answered shivering slightly.
"Bodhi". Leo said with an outstretched hand, his gaze fell to the phone before he focused his attention back to the gate, he was the only one who called Boody by his real name for some reason best known to him.
"Please no". Boody said and started moving backwards.
"Let him be". Dad said then glanced at Boody, it was a look which said we'll see later.
The weather wasn't getting any better so we all went inside and sat in the living room. It was obvious dad was tired of seeing mom like that so I decided to help him.
"Mom, why don't you go up with Cassandra and I then the boys will go find him".
*SWING SLAM*
It was Steve...
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief except Leo and Cassandra, they just stood up and went to their various rooms. Steve only grabbed my hand and was about taking me upstairs when he remembered something
"Hold this". He said to me and immediately went over to mom, he picked her up and placed her on his shoulders then together we both went to mom's room. He made her hot tea before putting her to bed, dad only stared without a world.
Immediately we shut mom's door and was about heading to ours, he picked me up and carried me princess style.
He dropped me on the bed gently, then he told me to take what was in the bag. I was quite surprised, he has never gifted me anything before but here he was giving me a gift with a frown.
"What's up with that look?". I asked looking confused.
"Nothing". He said and wore his wore headset. Whenever he did that, it meant that he was done with the conversation.
I sighed silently then unwrapped what was in the bag, it was wrapped multiple times that even the help of a scissor I still found it a bit difficult to unwrap. Finally I wrapped it and I found a...
