Episode 6 : He Likes Her
Daniel’s POV
All through our journey to the mall, Patricia made all of us laugh. We enjoyed her company. She acts like a foreigner. I must confess she is lively to be with. I even forgot what she did to me when we first met.
We got down from the car after parking the car in the mall’s parking garage. I went to where Patricia sat and opened the door for her to get down. She smiled as I stretched my hands to her.
We have arrived get down, and I said as she received my hands and got down, she looks beautiful in Maggie’s gown. I smiled back at her and looked at Spencer, who was busy watching us.
Time is going to save your drama. He said as he moved to inside the mall. I held Patricia as we both walked into the mall, she smelt nice. She continued opening her mouth and shutting it as she looked around.
Wow! It’s so beautiful she said as she laughed happily. Yes, it’s the most beautiful around here. I replied, smiling. She is so funny. Spencer walked in front without looking back while we followed him. Patricia was busy examining the mall.
Check this out Spencer said as we got to the Cloth section, he pointed at a statue that was wearing a strapless gown. Wow, it’s beautiful, I said, looking at Patricia. It will suit her well.
Ohhh! She is beautiful. Patricia said as she ran to the statue looking at it and smiling. Spencer isn’t she cute?? She asked him, making him laugh. Common Patricia, it’s not human. Its a statue.
Spencer’s POV
in the car, Daniel and Patricia started chatting and laughing, leaving me out of it, I was feeling somehow, tho I know it was not jealousy.
When we got to the mall avian, he held her hand like they were couples or something. I was already fuming in anger, and she didn’t even remember me.
When she called my name, I was so happy she even still remembered me. Who is here? I called out, and a woman came to view. Good afternoon sir, how may I be of help? She asked, smiling.
I want her to try this stripless gown on I said outing to Patricia, who was busy drooling over the statue. Okay, sir, she said as she went to meet Patricia come ma, she said to Patricia.
She looked at me, and I nodded, telling her to go with her. They both went, and Daniel and I continued looking for clothes, shoes, cosmetics for her.
You two are getting along. I said to Daniel, who was also looking for things for Patricia. Yes, Spencer, I never knew she is this lively, I am starting to like her he said smiling and my face changed immediately.
Like her? Is he kidding me?? Wasn’t he the one that hated her some hours ago? I thought as I continued searching for more clothes in anger.
Wow! I heard Daniel say as I looked up to see Patricia. She was stunning!! She looked so beautiful. Daniel went close to her, smiling and pecked her on the cheeks. I became so angry, looking at both of them.
You look beautiful, and he said to Patricia while she was busy blushing. I behaved like I didn’t see her as I continued what I was doing, but I reply wanted to hug her she looked so beautiful.
I looked up, and I saw her laughing with Daniel. So annoying, I said as I hit the hanger in anger.
Patricia’s POV
Daniel was making me laugh and blush with his comments. I never knew he could be this kind and lovely. I was laughing when I heard a noise from some part of the mall.
I looked up and saw Spencer close to some clothes. I looked at his hands and saw blood gush out of his hands.
Spencer!! I called and ran to him, forgetting that I heard a shoe that was difficult to carry, the lady that dressed me called it heals. Spencer, are you okay I ran towards him.
I stepped on my clothes on the run when I was close to him, and I slipped off the floor towards Spencer. I saw his eyes widened as I felt, and before I knew it, Spencer caught me.
We fell to the floor with me on top of him, my face went close to him as my lips landed on his. My eyes widened, so did him. I was quickly pulled up from him by someone. It was from Daniel.
Patricia, are you okay? He asked, dressing my hair and cloth. Yes, I nodded as I looked at Spencer, who seemed so angry. Please help him up, Daniel, I said, looking at him in pity.
Daniel moved close to him, but before he could get to him, he stood. I am fine. You don’t need to worry.
Maggie’s POV
Ahhhhhh, I breathed out as I came out of the plan that brought me to America. I miss this place too much I said to myself as I hired a cab to take me to Spencer’s house. I was in the cab doing something on my phone.
Then I remembered I needed to call mother I have gotten here. I called her, and she picked up on the second ring.
Hey mother, I have landed.
Okay, dear, take care of yourself and Spencer. And have you called him
No mother, I want to surprise him.
Hmmm, that’s good, okay, dear, I have to go now.
She hung up, and I smiled at myself, Spencer will be so happy to see me, I thought happily. The driver to the front of Spncer’s house, I paid him, and he left. The house hasn’t changed a bit; I felt as I moved into the compound.
Episode 7 : Stay Away From Him
Patricia’s POV
Spencer paid for all the things I bought after we were done shopping, thank you so much, Spencer, I said as we walked out of the mall. Its nothing Patricia he replied, smiling. He and Daniel were helping to carry the bags to the car.
I walked out with Daniel holding my hands, he is beautiful, I thought as I smiled looking at him, we got to the car, and he helped me open the door so that I could get in.
Spencer drives back to the house, and throughout the whole trip, there was no talking. I wasn’t comfortable with the awkward silence, but I didn’t want to start any troubles. We drove into the compound, and we all came down.
Spencer and Daniel helped carry the luggage out of the car while we both moved into the house. Spencer opened the door for all of us. We entered and saw a lady sitting on the couch bit, backing us.
She had red hair, she looked back and smiled widely. Spencer, she said and ran to Spencer, hugging him. He looked shocked at first but later hugged her too smiling. Who is she, I thought, looking at them?
She is Spencer’s girlfriend. Daniel said to me, smiling, girlfriend? What’s the girlfriend? I asked, confused. Ahhh, he sighed in frustration, his wife to be he said laughing again.
Oh, I said, nodding my head. You didn’t tell me you were coming, Spencer said to her after disengaging from the hug. Can’t I surprise my husband to be she said as she kissed him? How did you get in? He asked again.
Spencer, have you forgotten I have a spare key to the house? Why all these questions aren’t you happy to see me the lady asked to make a babyface. No, not that Maggie, am just surprised Spencer replied, smiling.
Hmmm, Daniel said, smiling. She stopped kissing him and looked at us, hey Daniel she called smiling, hey Maggie he replied as they both hugged each other. How was your trip, Daniel asked.
It was fine. She replied, smiling, hi, I replied as she looked at me. She looked at me from head to toe with a lousy gaze. Who is she, Spencer? And why is she wearing my gown? She asked, looking at me irritated. She is a friend Maggie, and she didn’t have anything to wear, so I lent her.
Maggie meets Patricia, Patricia meets Maggie, my girlfriend. I stretched my hands forward for a handshake, but she just looked away from me and set her gaze on the luggage lying on the floor.
What is the luggage for she asked Spencer? Ehn Maggie, its for Patricia. She will be staying here for some time, he said, holding her and smiling. But she… Patricia, let’s go to your room, Daniel said, cutting her off.
I nodded, and we both moved to the room, leaving Spencer and his girlfriend. Daniel, why doesn’t she hate me? I asked sadly. No Patricia, she doesn’t hate you. She doesn’t want any lady beside Spencer. That’s how she is, he replied, holding my hands and smiling.
To avoid her problems, you have to stay away from Spencer, will she be staying here for long? I asked sadly, staying away from Spencer will be a little bit hard. I don’t know, but that doesn’t matter, right? You dress up and meet me in the kitchen let’s prepare lunch he said and moved outside.
Spencer’s POV
I didn’t expect Maggie to come here, she didn’t even inform me, but I missed her sincerely.
She sat on my laps around my torso in the sitting room facing me. Baby, I called you, but you refused to pick up you kept me worried she said, pouting her mouth.
I Am sorry, baby, and I have always been busy with work, I said, making a babyface. At least you should have sent me a text! Message when you were less busy, you made me feel you don’t love me anymore, and you are seeing another woman she said, folding her arms under her chest like a baby.
My bad baby, I am so sorry, please forgive Husby. I said in a pleading tone, fine, bribe me with a kiss, she said, smiling. Must you always leave me without a choice, I said, laughing? I pulled her close to myself and kissed her passionately.
I missed your lips. I told her after disengaging from the kiss.
Same here baby, she said blushing. Daniel stop I heard Patricia say from the kitchen, she was laughing very hard. Drop your hands. I heard Daniel again.
I felt anger rise inside of me. I knew they were both playing together, Maggie. I will be back, I said, lifting her from my leg. Baby, where are you going she asked, surprised. I didn’t answer her; I just left for the kitchen.
I got to the kitchen to see Daniel holding Patricia by the waist, and he held her hands, guiding her to cut an onion. She smiled, and I saw tears in her eyes, I became too furious and left to my room, leaving Maggie in the sitting room.
Episode 8 : Do I Love Her?
Daniel’s POV
I helped Patricia handle the knife so she wouldn’t cut herself while chopping the onion, we planned on preparing Spaghetti, tomato sauce, and sale. Daniel is crying. Patricia said, laughing.
I am also crying Patricia, that’s onions for you, it makes a person cry. Then I won’t use it again; she said like a baby.
I turned her to face me, and you don’t have to stop using it, you will endure it, I also endure when peeling it because I enjoy it in my food. Hmm, okay, she said and nodded. I brought out my handkerchief from my pocket.
I reached for her face and cleaned the tears on her face. It’s beautiful, okay? I said, smiling. I stopped washing her face and looked at her with so much love. To be sincere, I am starting to have feelings for her.
Daniel, are you okay? She asked, worried as she cupped my face in her hands. Yes, I am. I nodded and smiled. Now let’s make haste so we can eat on time. Okay, she said and faced the cabinet.
I watched her slice the tomato, and you are a fast learner, you can now handle the knife well I said, rubbing her. I am intelligent she said blushing, I can see that I smiled.
She reached for water from the tap and splashed it on me, what was that for? I asked, cleaning my face, that’s for rubbing my hair, she said and laughed loudly. She looked beautiful, really I said as I reached for water from the tap too, but before I could splash it on her, she ran out.
Patricia’s POV
We finished cooking quite late because Daniel didn’t let me concentrate, he continued looking for my trouble, it was evening already, so we both set the table for dinner.
We got to the dining table and placed the food there, I couldn’t see Spencer and his girlfriend, and their food was part of what we cooked.
Daniel, why not call Spencer and his girlfriend from their room before the food gets cold, I said to Daniel. Okay, he nodded and left to call them.
He came back shortly, they will be here any moment from now he said and gestured me to sit, I sat, and he sat close to me too. Spencer and his girlfriend came into view, and she was holding his arm.
I looked away from them, I didn’t want Maggie’s trouble but to be sincere it was hard trying to stay away from Spencer, I was feeling somehow seeing him and the Lady together, we won’t even have my time anymore I thought sadly.
They sat close to each other, and he helped dish out his girlfriends food before his own, Daniel helped to dish mine too before he took his own. Thanks, Daniel, I said, smiling while he smiled back.
We started eating in silence, I stole Spencer’s glances, and anytime I did, he was also looking at me, I would carry my face away quickly from his. This food is delicious who prepared it? Maggie’s said, breaking the silence.
It’s Patricia Daniel replied, smiling, I saw her face change into a cold one as she rolled her eyes, I thought you were the one she added facing her food.
He was the one I said coldly, common Patricia, you know well that you did most of the work, so you did it, he replied smiling holding my hands, I laughed slightly if you say so I replied blushing.
I looked up at Spencer and was so silent that I saw he was fuming in anger, what is wrong with him?? I asked myself. He looked at Daniel who was busy eating, and I saw an evil look in his face, why is Spencer behaving like this?? I thought, silently devouring my food.
Spencer’s POV
I ate in silence, and I was fuming in anger, Daniel and Patricia are getting too close, and I wouldn’t say I like it, she laughed, and I felt my heart beat fast as it will soon fall, she looked so beautiful even more than a girlfriend.
Spencer stop comparing her to your girlfriend, I told myself shaking the thoughts off me, but I reply wanted to hold her and kiss her, I thought.
I looked at Daniel, and I saw how he was so happy sitting beside her, I don’t like it one bit, must he sit that close to her. I dropped my knife and fork on the table loudly and walked out on them.
I couldn’t stand seeing Daniel close to her, why is he so loving to her now, I remember how he hated her when they first met, and I was the one even begging on her behalf. Now both of them don’t also look at me anymore. It’s so annoying.
Spencer this should affect you, you have a fulfilled girlfriend what else are you looking for I asked myself again. Yes I have a girlfriend, and she is also beautiful, she loves me, and I love her that enough for me. I thought and layed on my bed.
The door opened, and someone walked in, I knew it was Maggie. Hey baby, she came close to me and held me from behind pressing her breast against my shoulders, why did you leave like that, you didn’t even finish your food she said turning me to face her.
I Am sorry, baby. I lost my appetite. I said, looking at her, faking a smile. Spencer told me the truth, is it because of that girl? I see the way you look at her, and how you look at Daniel when he touches her, she said angrily.
Maggie, what are you talking about I said, pretending not to understand. What am I talking about? Spencer, I am a lady, now tell me to do you love her? She asked, looking at me firmly.
Hun? I asked, pretending I didn’t hear her, do I love her? I asked myself, still looking into her face. Spencer answer me she yelled as tears rolled down her cheeks. No, Maggie, I don’t. I love only you, I said, cupping her face.
I cleaned her tears and layed her head on my shoulders. I hate it when she cries. Its okay, Maggie, I said when I heard her sniff. I love only you, alright? Okay, she replied, smiling. I pulled her up and kissed her.
I close my eyes, still kissing her when Patricia’s smiling face came into my head; it was like I was kissing her. Gosh! What’s wrong with me I thought and quickly disengaged from the kiss, come on let’s sleep I told her laying her down.
Episode 9 : Go To Rivers Street
IN THE GAINT WORLD
King Grover’s POV
The eldest chief walked up to me in my closet, bless you, king, he said and bowed before me. Stand up, Chief Rion. Come closer, I said, gesturing him to come forward. Thank you, my lord, he said and moved close to me.
He stood close to me and wore a serious face. What is the matter, Rion? Thank you, My king, since Patricia as left our world, we haven’t heard anything from her my king, and we all know that we need to get this seed on time, and we can’t also let Patricia stay in that evil world for long he said bowing his head.
Thank you, Rion, I said meditating over what he said, truly since she left I haven’t spoken to her, I have been so busy keeping the kingdom forgetting my own daughter I said sadly.
I would speak to her now, thank you, Rion, yes king, he said and left.
I pray Patricia is safe, and I can’t let her get hurt and seeing this seed won’t be easy she would need more powers double the one she took, how come I didn’t think about all this.
I guess I was so desperate that I forgot about my daughter, I am such a useless father I thought as tears filled my eyes, I need to speak to her now.
Patricia’s POV
I laid on my bed, and I started thinking about Spencer. The way has behaved earlier. I don’t understand why he would look at Daniel like that. They are friends, I thought sadly.
I closed my eyes, and sleep took over.
IN HER DREAM
Dad! I called running to him. He opened his hands and drew me into a hug. Daddy, I missed you I said as teats threatened to fall down my face. Patricia, how are you?
Are you hurt? Did you get into trouble be asked me to examine my body thoroughly?
No dad am fine I said smiling, he pulled me into a hug again, thank heavens you are safe I wouldn’t forgive myself if you are hurt. He said, almost crying.
Dad, am fine, okay? Don’t cry, or you will make me cry too, I said sadly. He cleaned his tears from his eyes and forced a smile on. Dad, when I came to Earth, some people took me in, I said happily.
Took you in? Did they hurt you? He asked worriedly again. No dad, they didn’t, they are so lovely, they bought me new clothes, shoes showed me beautiful places, and I even had my bath in a royal bathroom bigger and more elegant than ours I replied happily.
He smiled widely. It seems they are taking good care of you, he said, relieved. Yes dad, very well I love them, their names are Spencer and Daniel I said smiling. I love both of them so much, I added.
Patricia, my dad, called sadly, yes, dad, I replied. Hope you haven’t forgotten the task I gave you, he said, looking into my eyes.
No dad that reminds me I had a bad dream father. Really? He replied as his eyes widened. Father, I saw Lord Jackson in my dream. I threatened him to release the seed. He carried me by my neck and pinned me to the wall.
I couldn’t do anything to him, and I was so weak, he brought out a knife from his pocket and also thrust it into me when someone came in between us, and he was cut in his tummy by the knife I narrated it in fear.
Who came between you two? My father asked, paying rapt attention to me. Father, Spencer, the guy who took me in, came from nowhere and took the knife for me, I said, and tears rolled down my cheeks.
My dad pulled me up into his arms, its okay, Patricia. Father, will it affect him in any way? I asked my father. I will make sure nothing happens to him, Patricia he replied, petting me. Please be careful, okay?
Yes father I nodded, lord Jackson’s wife on earth lives in Rivers street, her house is the fourth house on the left immediately you enter the street. Try to make friends with her and ask of Lord Jackson, okay? My dad said seriously.
Okay, dad, he touched my head, and I felt like a heavy load was placed on my head, receive power he said, and disappeared.
END OF DREAM
I opened my eyes, silently feeling a slight headache. I closed my eyes again, and sleep overwhelmed me.
Maggie’s POV
I looked into Spencer’s face while he slept, the memories of what happened tonight rushed into my mind again, I couldn’t sleep.
I love you so much. I can’t let any lady take you away from me. I will die if you leave me, Spencer. I won’t be able to make it. I said, caressing his face.
I won’t let that Lady come close to you, you are mine Spencer, mine alone, and I will go extra miles to keep you with me.
That lady would see my anger if she comes close to you my love, I will torture her and make beg for my forgiveness if you give her any weird attention, I thought.
I leaned forward and kissed him on his lips before kissing him on his forehead. I leaned closer to him and placed my head in his chest.
I closed my eyes, inhaling his scent, and I fell asleep shortly.
Episode 10 : Call Me Baby
Patricia’s POV
The next day
I woke up early. I couldn’t fell the headache anymore more. I stood up and moved to the bathroom to have my bath. I had become familiar with most of the things there, so it was hard to use.
I got out of the bathroom and wore a shirt and shorts that Daniel picked, especially for me. I really loved the short. I combed my hair, making it fall freely and smoothed.
I moved to the parlor, but no one was there, I am sure they are still sleeping, I thought, and moved to the kitchen. I need to surprise everyone by preparing breakfast before they wake up.
I decided to prepare fried eggs since there was tea and bread in the fridge. I broke the eggs and started mixing it in a bowl, and I sliced some onions and pepper into it.
My eyes watered as I cut the onion, but I endured it as Daniel thought me. I was still preparing breakfast when I remembered the instruction my father gave me in the dream.
How on Earth will I get to the so-called rivers street? I asked myself and then remembered I could ask Daniel. I sighed sadly. I really wish I could play with Spencer, but he doesn’t even seem to have my time, I thought.
I continued frying the eggs when I felt someone behind me before I could turn back the person held me from the back and closed my eyes with his palm.
Daniel, I called smiling, and the person sniffed and dropped his hand, looked back, and saw Spencer looking at me. Oh, Spencer is so sorry I thought it was Daniel, I said, smiling.
I understand you are always comfortable with him more than me; you have even forgotten me, he said sadly.
Spencer, it’s not true, I said, shaking my head. I haven’t forgotten you, I miss you but I can’t get close to you I said sadly.
What? Why? He asked, confused. Don’t you think Maggie will need you now? Daniel said, coming into view.
He came close to me and landed a kiss on my cheek. Good morning beautiful, he said, smiling, making me blush.
Good morning Daniel I replied, smiling. I looked at Spencer, and all I saw was hatred, he left the kitchen heading to only heaven knows.
Don’t mind him, Patricia, he always has mood swings, Daniel said, turning me to face the frying pan.
Daniel’s POV
I saw her chatting with Spencer, and I felt great jealously in me. I turned her to the frying pan on the fire holding her waist.
I see you like the clothes I choose for you, I said, smiling. Yes, Daniel, I love it. Thank you, she replied, focusing on the eggs.
I see you added some onions, and I hope you didn’t cry again, I said, laughing slightly. I cried, but I endured it. She replied, laughing too.
I felt my heart skip seeing her like that, she is so beautiful, and I have started growing feelings for her no doubts. Within these few days, I have been so happy around her. I thought of watching her prepare breakfast.
I love her, and I can’t let Spencer take her away from me, thank God he has a girlfriend, and she is around Patricia is mine alone I thought and hugged her tightly from behind, my arms right under her b**bs.
Are you okay, Daniel? She asked, tilting her head backward to look at me, I am fine, Patricia, but it would be better if I remained like this, I said, closing my eyes.
I heard her laugh loudly, familiar Daniel you are not a baby, its only babies that do this she said still laughing.
The way she laughed made me laugh too. Okay then, am your baby from now on, so don’t call me Daniel call me baby.
She laughed loudly again, and I watched her smile. Okay, Daniel, she said. Not Daniel, baby! I said, emphasizing on the baby.
Okay, Baby, she said, and we both burst into laughter.
Spencer’s POV
I moved to the dining table fuming in anger, and I wasn’t comfortable seeing Patricia and Daniel so close.
They came out of the kitchen carrying breakfast. They moved to the table and placed the food on the table.
I kept stealing glances of Patricia, but she seemed to concentrate more on the food. Daniel occasionally whispered into her ears, and she will then smile and hit him slightly.
I was still watching them in disgust when Maggie came down from the stairs.
“Hey, baby, morning,” she said and came closer to me. She kissed me on my lips, all this while I still watched Patricia.
She looked at me and started into my eyes, and my gaze was fixed on hers too.
Daniel moved close to her and whispered something into her ears. She quickly removed her gaze from me and sat close to Daniel.
Maggie sat close to me, too, and served me breakfast. Daniel served Patricia, and he kept smiling like an idiot.
I faced my food and started eating, and I didn’t want them to notice I was focusing on them. And to top, it all avoid Maggie’s trouble.
“Daniel please can you take me on a stroll after eating??” Patricia asked, facing Daniel.
“Sure Patricia, I will follow you anywhere you wanna go,” He replied.
I shrugged and rolled my eyes, ” I will follow you anywhere you wanna go,” I mimicked in my mind.
I ate silently, and Maggie kept touching me as she was eating. She looked at Patricia who was looking at me, she shot her a deadly look, and she quickly removed her gaze from me.
“Maggie is so troublesome,” I thought sadly.
