"Breakfast is ready ..mrs Gerald announced …. And helped Diane out of the bed to the dinning room…
"Fiiiiuuuuu Oliver breathed out feeling relieved that mrs Gerald saved her …
I'm going to give her an increment of salary … Oliver told himself …and joined them …
Getting to the table, Diane was so amazed with the amount of meal that mrs Gerald made that morning which comprises of veggies, seafoods and other nutritious meals…. Oliver helped her to seat and then sat down on his chair ..
at first Diane thought it was the full house that will be joining the breakfast party.. .. but after eating like 3 spoons of food she noticed that it was just Oliver and herself that has the whole meal … Oliver has not even touched anything yet… he was just busy peeling seafood for her…
"you have not tasted the food, do you want it to get cold?? Diane asked …
"oh don't worry watching you eat is enough to fill me up Oliver replied …..
"but I can't finish this whole food if that's what you are implying …Diane retorted with her eyes wide open …
"smiles … snowhite the doctor said you should eat enough food.. especially veggies … all these food were made for you … Oliver said .
"you can't be serious are you ??Diane asked …"
"sunshine just eat enough, nobody is saying you must finish everything, just pick the ones you like … it can still be changed if you don't fancy any of the meal okay?? Oliver told her …
"then who will now eat the leftovers ?? Diane asked …
"You don't need to be worried about that sunshine … that can be arranged too … he replied ..
though Diane wasn't cool with wasting food , but she just have to fill her tummy since she is starving… and she loved every single meal that mrs Gerald made … they all had the high class restaurant with home food taste combined … it was more than perfect …
"wait …why would he need me here when mrs Gerald can make nice food like this .. she is even better than 5 star restaurants … she decided to voice it out … ehmmmm … I really appreciate your kindness..I'm really indebted to you … but there is something bothering me ….
"Why do you need me to cook for you ??
"Dinah ….. he took a deep breath … should I just tell her how I feel … heaven knows I can't hold myself around her …
"hello mr Queen why are you looking into space ..Dinah said waving her hands on his face … "sorry my sunshine … I just want you close around me … is that an enough reason?? Oliver said …. "
She doesn't know how to explain it but there is this surge of happiness from the dept of her heart that she couldn't explain … "ehmmmm … but why would you want me around you … your lady might not like it … Dinah said with all difficulty…
"he smiled…nothing like that will happen my sunshine ….""you want to get mad at yourself he said in his mind …alright enough of the convo eat your meal Before it gets cold he said to her ….
She went back eating her meal while Oliver went on with peeling the seafoods ..
it was already evening , Dinah bid mrs Gerald goodbye and was about going when she noticed that Oliver was waiting with one of his SUV …
"will you do me the honors of allowing me drop my princess to her destination Oliver pleaded with his puppy eyes …
"mrs Gerald smiled and said to her ear…he has fallen over heels for you my dear…and ran inside smiling ….
Dinah was still dumbstruck when he came out and held her hands and walked her to the front seat ….. she wanted to say something…. But Oliver beat her to it…
"shhhhh… let me be your driver … just relax yourself and enjoy the ride ma'am…"he smiled and closed the door after making sure she was relaxed …. He entered the driver's seat and said …
"can we begin the ride ma'am ?.. ..
Dinah relaxed and smiled at him … he was just busy stealing glances …
"hope you are no longer feeling any pains from your abdomen "…
he didn't get any reply, as he turned to look at her, he found out that she has slept off and her mouth slightly open ..he smiled and reduced his speed, and also reduced the air conditioning so she won't be disturbed.
the journey was smooth and there was no much talking as Dinah slept off along the way, remembering what maxwell said to him made him wonder how she has been feeling not seeing her monthly flow on time and how painful it was when she finally saw it,
"I'm sorry for the pain sunshine, "
he said and touched her cheeks which brought movements from Dinah,
"what a cute little bunny he said.
reaching Dinah's street, he adjusted the car seat so she Could feel comfortable and watched her as she slept.
He wished that time could stop ticking so he would watch her sleep all day, because she looked so innocent and breath taking while sleeping. As they were immersed in their different world of peace, Anthony and Mrs Wellington were watching from the window, so were almost all the people in that neighborhood….
"who could be the one with that car mrs Wellington asked "
"mom, how am I supposed to know , maybe he missed his way,
there is no way that car is coming here because of anyone living in this vicinity Anthony replied his mom .
"She looked at Anthony, why do you sound like that's your truth she asked his son,
Her motherly instincts was telling her that car came for one of her kids .
"Mom i don't have any reason to lie to you … Anthony said ..
Mrs Wellington looked at him and continued going to pack the Dry laundry,
He rolled his eyes, she thinks I'm really lying …A tap on the window woke Diane up and she caught Oliver staring at her, she looked around to adjust her eyes…"oh jeez, when did we get here? You didn't wake me up, Diane asked..
"I didn't want to disturb your sleep, it's been an hour though and I loved watching you sleep Oliver replied ….."
a tap came again from the window and it now called their mind off the discussion they are having …
"ohhh jeez… not this woman , Diane said trying to cover her face ..
"Do you know her Oliver asked ?"…
"of course I do, she lives in our neighborhood, you have been standing here for some time so they became worried… you can wind down before she gets angry and call her clique of friends to help call you out Diane said "…
"Oliver wind down the window, Hi…he said to the woman…
"Hi the woman replied , ehmmm ( wow, not only is he rich, he is so good looking too, Mrs Reinfield thought) mr you have been standing here for some time now, the neighborhood is getting walked up that's why I came to know how we can be of help and if there is any lurking danger she was saying all that with shyness all over her and she was really enchanted because the man she was seeing looks more like an angel …
"Hi Mrs Reinfield , ehmmm he was about going Diane cut her off , she already knew the type of woman mrs Reinfield is …
that is when mrs Reinfield noticed Diane sitting like the boss's wife who is trying to show the world that the man next to her is her's alone ..… she had to maintain her composure and managed to squeeze out words from her mouth ..
"oh my sweet Diane, I did not see you there mrs Reinfield replied …
"why not go inside so the elderly one's will stop being scared , you know this is a very big car and they hardly come by in this environment.. mrs Reinfield said with greediness all over her face …
