Chapter 22
“Wooosh, I’m famished, what a day it was’ ‘ Derrick soda and slammed into the bed when he got into his room.
“Sorry babe, next time tell your brother not to act on impulse, I guess he loves this babe but he should know they are people who want you guys dead, I’m very sure the Ravens did not listen to anything I said today they only retreated because they know who my father is” Sophie said
“I know I know, immediately I saw them at the woods too I told them to leave, immediately I saw they were being accosted by the ravens I made a plan to create that route and went to meet Audrey because I knew he would not be able to leave with her” Derrick said.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“But nevertheless babe, thank you very much, you were so brave” he said and teased her.
“I had to do what needed to be done, ” she said and smiled.
“Have you eaten, you need to have your bath, you need to rest, you have gone through a lot today” she said.
“Calm down babe, I know I will do that, I know you have missed me” he said while giving her the sexy look
“Don’t even start with that look, and yes I have missed you” she said.
Sophie knew how much Derrick had missed her so she was going to ensure she enjoyed every bit of the moment she had with him. Derrick then proceeded to have his bath.
A few hours later, Stephanie woke up from her sleep. She looked around and saw that she was in the living room, she wondered how she slept off there, the last she remembered she was with Nanny Maria. She set off to look for the Nanny and found her outside on the fields like the other day but she was not alone, Audrey was with her. She thought of turning back so she could avoid him but she did not want to do that as she was worried as much as he was worried about her so she took the courage to meet up with them
“Hey, Mi’ja you have woken up how are you? Nanny Maria asked.
“I’m fine Nanny” she said
It was at this point Audrey looked up and saw, he immediately stood up and they both hugged each other like they had not seen each other for a very long time, Nanny Maria took this as a cue to leave them, she knew they needed their privacy and they needed to talk about a lot of things.
” I’m sorry, Steph, I didn’t mean to put you in danger” Audrey apologized
” I understand, you only wanted to show me your real self, your real identity” she said
“It’s fine” she said and gave him a squeeze on his hand
He then brought out the things he bought for her at the supermarket.
“Cake, flower, a shirt saying I’m sorry, hmmm how romantic, scented candles, bag and what is inside this box” she said while unpacking the goods he had bought her.
“Chocolates” she screamed
How did he know Mars chocolates was her favorite chocolate in the world? She wanted to hug him at that moment and not let him go as he had bought her everything she liked just to get her to forgive him. She was not even mad at him in the first place, she was more worried than angry, he had saved her life so she had no reason to be angry.
” Thank you for all this, Audrey really but you didn’t need to go this far, I’m not mad at you” she said
” No I wanted to do this, hope you like them” he said
“Are you kidding me, of course I love them especially this chocolate” she said, showing him theMars he had bought her.
” Alright, alright” he said
” So how was it in there, did they hurt you, howas Derrick, you need to thank him for me” she asked.
“No, no, we are fine, Sophie came just in time to save us and I thanked Derrick for us” she said and laughed.
“Hmmm, Sophie, she’s fine, Derrick has good eyes, no wonder you liked her” she said
“Is someone jealous” he teased, ” besides i am over her, right now she is just a best friend to me, it’s Derrick she loves and It is you I love” he said and gave her a kiss on the chick
“Make me your girlfriend,” she asked.
“No, babe I will make you mine but this isn’t the right time”, he said
” When is the right time, you keep telling me you love me, I know you do but prove it” she said getting pissed
“Chill babe, it’s not like that, I will make you mine, I promise but my dad hasn’t even said anything, it’s not that easy when it comes to werewolves and humans” he assured her
“What are you waiting for, full moon?” She asked
“Wait who told you about the full moon?” He asked
“Who told me is not necessary, just make me your damn girlfriend” she said and walked away
She did not know why she did what she just did but she sure felt like a whining baby at that point, not her shouting at the man that just openly declared love and bought her the nicest things ever.
“I must be crazy,” she thought.
She had walked a while when she remembered she left her phone where Audrey was, she had to go back there or collect her phone whenever she was calm to talk to him but she needed her phone so she had to go. She knew how awkward it would be when she got there.
” Errm I forgot my phone ” she said while looking down
He laughed and wondered why she was looking down. “Is she sorry for snapping at me?” he thought.
“I’m sorry what” he pretended like he did not hear what she had earlier said.
She knew what game he was playing and she was going to pretend like she didn’t know what he was doing.
” I said I need my phone, I forgot it” she said again.
” Oooh this, you are going to get this in my room” he said
“Really Audrey, you are going to make me walk all the way to your room” she said while lamenting.
” You normally walk all the way to my room back in New York, so why the fuss now” he mocked
She knew she had to do his bidding if she wanted her phone back, so they both walked to his room while taunting and hitting each other to the amusement of everyone in the house.
” They sure look good together,” Sophie said to Derrick while admiring them.
When they got into his room, Stephanie knew she had to face him after her little drama outside.
“So you want to be my girlfriend”he asked, she nodded her head in affirmation
“So you still want to be with me after everything you went through today” he said.
” You are saying it like I have a choice,” she teased.
