JUST FOR LOVE 2 Episode 50 by Azeemah Salami
Anelโs POV?
โOMG,you mean he kissed you?โ Theresa,Ashlyn and Vie asked.
โYesโ I smiled,my cheeks getting pink.
We were all seated in my cabin after getting ready for day 9 adventure.
We were waiting for our breakfast.
I was happy throughout the night that i couldnโt sleep,i kept smiling and turning in bed.
Was it because it was my first kiss?
Or,the love i have for Dan is just too much?
His lips were so soft and sweet against mine.
Heโs a good kisser and i wonder how many lips he would have kissed.
I felt a bit jealous but later shrugged it off.
Heโs mine now.
Not only did he kiss me,he also asked me to be his girlfriend!
I canโt be more happy and i could remember how i screamed โYesโ
Yesternight was one of the best nights for us .
We took so long at the lake, talking and planning our future. Iโm glad i have an intelligent dude as my boyfriend.
I never thought i could be so much in love cause i was someone who always condemned love but now i know better.
No matter how hard one tries to avoid love, itโll always come whenever it wants to.
Love has control over everyoneโs heart and Iโm glad it directed my heart to Dan.
He carried me on his back down to my cabin yesternight,and i almost melted when he kissed me goodnight.
โFinallyโ Vie smiled.
โYes! Iโve been waiting for thisโ Ashlyn said.
โSo what happened after you kissed..did you.. i mean did he caressed you?โ Theresa asked in a whisper.
I grinnedโฆโNo he didnโt but he almost didโ
โWowโ They chorused and i covered my cheeks with my palms.
โThereโs also somethingโ I said.
โWhat?โ They asked.
โHe asked me to be his girlfriendโ I said with a large smile and then glanced at their faces.
โOMG!โ Vie exclaimed.
โAnel,did you say โyesโ?โ Theresa asked eagerly.
โAnel if you said โnoโ then get out of this cabin right nowโ Ashlyn joked and i laughed.
I rested my chin on my palms deliberately putting them in suspense.
โAnel, comโonโ They said.
โWellโฆmy answer wasโฆโ I paused and stared at their faces.
The were looking at me eagerly and i could hear their loud breathings.
I smiled.
โMy answer wasโฆ Yesโ I said and their screams were deafening.
โYessss!โ They danced all over the room and i couldnโt help but laugh.
Silly asses!
They dragged me up and made me stand in the middle,they started dancing round me pulling out funny skills,i couldnโt stop laughing and the one that really gat me was Vie,she started singing in a terrible voice shaking her fat butt alongside.
I fell on the bed laughing hardโฆ.
โOh..God,you guys are gonna kill meโ I said in between laughter.
They all stopped when the door opened.
Two cooks walked in with our breakfast.
โThanksโ We chorused,each of us picking a plate and a bottle of water from the trays.
They nodded and walked out.
We sat down and started eating our breakfast.
โIโm so happy for you Anelโ Vie said with a mouthful.
โMe tooโ Ashlyn smiled
โIโm not left outโ Theresa said biting into her toast.
โThanks everyoneโ I smiled.
My phone sprang to life and โTill i met youโ by fallen angels began to blare from the tiny speaker.
I picked my phone up and checked the callerโs ID. I smiled.
Dan.
โIs it Dan?โ Ashlyn asked and i nodded.
โAwwwnโ They said making me feel shy.
I cleared my throat and swiped to the โrecieverโ nervously.
?Hi Loveโ His breathtaking voice sounded in my ears.
My heart pumped happily.
I noticed my friends have stopped eating,they were staring at me.
Damn!
Where the hell did i get this friends from?
?Sweetie,are you there?โ Danโs voice jolted me.
?YesโฆIโm hereโ I said.
?How are you and how was your night?โ
?Iโm fine,my night was splendid. Yours?โ I asked.
? Iโm fine and my night went great cause it was filled with the thought of youโ He said making my cheeks grow hot.
?Ohh..โ I smiled.
?Have you had your breakfast?โ He asked.
?Iโm having it presently. You?โ
?We just finished our breakfast and weโre thinking of coming over before adventure startsโ He said.
Yes!
I canโt wait to see his face.
? Okay,start coming over. Iโve missed your faceโ I said.
?I missed your face more,will be there soon. Kissesโ He said and disconnected the call.
I dropped my phone,still grinning.
โHeโs coming overโ I said and started rushing my breakfast.
โIs Dave coming with him?โ Theresa asked.
โYeahโ I said.
โVie,we also need to get boyfriendsโ Ashlyn said and we laughed.
โDave havenโt asked me to be his girlfriend yetโ Theresa said.
โItโs so obvious heโs gonna do that soonโ Ashlyn said to the pink-cheeked Theresa.
I smiled, wondering who blushes more between Theresa and i.
โLetโs finish up our breakfast quick, theyโll be here soonโ Theresa said.
Iโm almost done with mine.
*
I was gulping down water when Dan walked in with Dave.
He flashed a cute smile at me and i nearly choked on water.
How could someone be this handsome?
His dressing is simple yet it looked great on him.
Iโm proud to have him as mine.
My heart started making that familiar movement.
I dropped my water and smiled back at him.
He closed the gap between us and pecked me on both cheeks before placing a light kiss on my lips.
My heart leaped and i couldnโt hold my smile as he sat beside me.
Geez! I didnโt realize they were all staring at us.
I felt my cheeks go purple.
โYou look more beautiful when you blushโ Dan whispered to me and i blushed more.
โI need to take a picture of you right nowโ He said bringing out his phone.
โNo, donโtโ I said.
โI willโ He said making a funny face.
โStop, donโtโ i laughed.
He raised his phone up and i quickly grabbed it from him.
โAh! What a girlfriendโ He rolled his eyes and i laughed.
โUgh! What a boyfriendโ I over-rolled my eyes and everyone laughed.
?All students should head out for day 9 adventure in Tropical island?
โYaaaaayโ
? ? ?
โEveryone pose properlyโ Vie said.
Danโs hand was curved round my shoulders,he kissed my hair as Vie took the shot.
There were camera clicks everywhere.
Weโre in tropical Island, everyone was having fun including the teachers,i noticed how remorseful Mr Jones looked.
Wellโฆi donโt care,weโve gotten our necklaces back and thatโs all that matters.
We took several pictures before joining the group of students that was touring round the island, the teachers explained some things to us and we gladly jotted them down.
Danโs hand was curved round my shoulders all the while and i couldnโt stop smiling.
This whole view is damn beautiful and iโm starting to wish i could stay here forever.
?{Night}?
We all headed back to our cabin in the night,they made us stay long in the island simply because today is our last day of adventure.
Everyone will be in their cabins tomorrow, weโll only come out in the night to make bonfire and set up fireworks.
Iโm looking forward to that,i know there will be so much fun.
โI had so much funโ I said as we all walked into our cabin.
โMe tooโ The rest chorused, everyone except Dan and i falling tiredly on their beds.
โI feel like sleepingโ Vie said.
โIt seems youโve made jacqโs bed yoursโ I said.
โYes ofcourseโ She yawned.
I sighed when i saw Dave already laying beside Theresa who looks like sheโs gonna pop soon with love.
Ashlyn was already dozing off and i wondered if she slept walk all the way back to our cabin.
โWonโt you all have your night bath?โ I shouted but none if them replied.
Theyโve gone to dreamland.
โAh!โ I sighed and glanced at Dan who was standing beside me.
โThey are all exhaustedโ He said as we walked down to my bed.
I sat on the bed and was about unbuckling my sandals but Dan offered to.
โThanksโ I smiled and watched him do it.
He started massaging my feet after he was done pulling off my sandals.
I smiled,i was less shy cause others were asleep.
I stood up some minutes after he was done,i opened my box and brought out my pajamas.
โI want to go showerโ I said to Dan.
He nodded. โI will also shower after youโre doneโ He said.
โThat means youโll have to go pick your pajamasโ i said and he stood up.
โYeah,let me go get itโ He said and walked out of the cabin,i also walked into the bathroom.
*
I walked out of the bathroom in my pajamas, feeling so refreshed.
Dan was sitting on the bed, holding his blue pajamas,he was busy with his phone.
โHey,Iโm doneโ I said and he glanced up with a smile.
โWow!โ He exclaimed running his gaze all over my body.
โWhat?โ I asked,my cheeks going pink as i wrapped my hands over my chest.
โYour beauty is rare,Iโve never seen anyone as beautiful as youโ He said.
โThanks loveโ I grinned.
โIโm glad youโre mineโ He said.
โAnd Iโm glad youโre mine too, now quickly go have your bath so we can sleepโ
โOkay babeโ He said and walked into the bathroom.
I smiled happily before jumping on the bed.
**
Minutes later,we were both sleeping in each others arms and for the first time,i had a beautiful dream.
?{Next day}?
We laughed at Vieโs joke as we ate our lunch.
We were in the cabin, chatting and laughing.
I never knew it was this interesting to have friends.
Iโve been missing all along.
โDo you want more noodles?โ Dan asked me,i was done with my noodles but Iโm not filled yet.
โYesโ I said.
โOkay,pick your chopstick letโs eat mine togetherโ He said and i did.
โNo,wait. i want to feed youโ He said and i giggled.
He started feeding me and i must confess that the noodles was more tasty this way.
We continued our talks and was interrupted by the knock on the door.
I think the cooks are back to pack the dishes but weโre not done yet.
โCome inโ Dan said,the door opened and we were all surprised to see Jacq walk in, staring at her feet.
โOhh..youโre here to pick your box right? Mind you Iโve taken over your bedโ Vie said.
I was more surprised when Karissa and Travis walked in behind her,they closed the door and stood in front of us, looking sorry.
Jacq and Karissa suddenly bursted into tears and we all exchanged glances, wondering what was going on.
โPlease forgive me,Iโm so sorryโ Jacq pleaded in tears.
โForgive me too pleaseโ karissa cried.
โIโm sorryโ Travis said.
No one spoke a word,we were surprised.
Wow!
I never thought they could apologise.
I sighed and looked at Dan.
โJacq, Karissa you both were my friends,why did you turn to my enemies?โ Dan asked.
โIโm so sorry Dan, Anel. I know Iโve wronged you both. Please forgive me. I did everything just because i love you Danโ Jacq said.
โWhat!โ Dan exclaimed and i smiled..
Iโve known this for longโฆ Jacq loves Dan.
Too badโฆi gat him now!
โIโve always loved you but you only see me as a friend, Iโve tried all i could to make you see me in another light but you didnโt, so i thought of doing all i can to make you mine. I was the one behind those provocative messages,i saw how much you liked Anel so i decided to..to split the both of you but it didnโt work. Please Iโm sorryโ Jacq said in tears and everyone gasped in surprise.
Iโm not surprised though.
โWhat! You mean,you sent those pictures of Anel with Travis?โ Dan asked and she nodded.
โGosh!โ He ran his hands through his hair and then glanced at me.
โArenโt you surprised?โ He asked.
โIโm not, cause i already found out before now. That was the reason i pounced on karissa in class,i thought she was the only one involved,i didnโt know Jacq was tooโ I said and Dan gasped.
โWhy didnโt you tell me?โ He asked.
โI donโt want to mar your friendship,itโs good you found out yourselfโ I said.
โDamn!โ He let out a deep breath.
I patted his back slowly.
โIโm so sorry Dan, please forgive me. Iโve realized my mistake and iโve already turned a new leafโ Jacq sniffed.
โDan, i need your forgiveness. I did all i did cause i thought i love you but Iโve now realized it was your looks i fell in love with. Iโm so sorry for the pains Iโve caused you and Anel, you both should please forgive meโ Karissa pleaded.
โDan,i know i shouldnโt be involved in all of this but i am because of the jealousy and hate i have towards you,Iโve always hated the fact that you looked more handsome,the fact that girls prefer you to me,the fact that..that you like Asanel and she likes you too. Iโm so so sorry,i have my regrets now, please forgive meโ Travis said.
Dan sighed..โIโm finding it hard to take all these in..iโฆIโm shockedโ
โYou should beโ I said.
โPlease Dan,Anel weโre sorry. Forgive usโ They chorused, crying except Travis who was obviously trying to hold his tears.
Dan looked at meโฆ
โLetโs forgive them huh?โ I whispered to him and he nodded.
โIโve forgiven you guysโ I said.
โThanks Anelโ They chorused and faced Dan who hesitated before speaking up.
โFine,the deed is done and i donโt see the reason why i should not forgive you. You are all forgivenโ Dan said.
โThanks so much Danโ They smiled,wiping their tears.
โBut?โ Dan paused.
โBut what?โ They asked and i wonder what heโs about to say.
โWe canโt be friends anymoreโ He said and i saw Jacq and karissaโs faces drop.
Tears filled their eyes once more and i felt pity for them.
โDan pleaseโฆโ They were pleading but he cut them off.
โIโve totally forgiven you,i have nothing against you guys anymore but Iโm sorry we canโt continue being friendsโ He said with a note of finality,stood up and walked out.
I sighed and glanced at them.
โWellโฆ weโve forgiven you completely so you can leaveโ I said.
โThanks so muchโ Travis said and walked out.
โYou caused this! You this sheep! You caused everything. You pushed me to do what i never wanted toโ Karissa yelled in Jacqโs face.
โShut up!โ Jacq yelled back.
โYou both can keep yelling at each other but please go do that outsideโ Theresa said.
They both walked out slowly, looking sad.
โWow! I never knew they did something this hugeโ Theresa said.
โIโm surprisedโ Ashlyn said.
โTheir confession was not very shocking to meโ I said.
โIโm glad Dan already cut ties with themโ Vie said.
โI need to go meet himโ I said and stood up.
I walked out of the cabin,in search for Dan.
?{Night}?
Every students danced round the bonfire singing and clapping our hands happily.
?Itโs our last night here,everyone danceeeeโ?
โYaaaaayโ We all shouted happily, singing and dancing more than before.
Iโm having so much fun.
Dan tickled me as i danced and i canโt stop laughing.
The atmosphere is bright and lively,the night looking more beautiful.
We danced and danced round the bonfire till we got tired.
?Everyone are you ready for fireworks??
โYessssโ We shouted happily and watched as the teachers set up fireworks.
โWow!โWe all exclaimed, staring at the beautiful fireworks in the sky.
?You can make a wish?
There was silence and the moment was priceless.
I never thought Iโd be in midst of people,i never thought i could be this happy.
Lord i thank you for your grace,i thank you for making me see the light.
โi wish my happiness and every other personโs will last longโ
Everyone brought out the phones and started taking pictures and i made sure i didnโt miss out.
? ? ?
30 minutes later,the fireworks were over.
Most of the students were already thinking about returning to the cabins when i thought of something.
โDanโ I called.
โHuh?โ He answered.
โWhy donโt we create more fun tonight?โ I asked.
โMore fun? How?โ He asked.
โWe can make the lake golden and invite everyone to swim,theyโll be so happy and amazedโ I said and Danโs eyes lit up.
โGood ideaโ He smiled.
โWho wants to swim in a golden lake?โ I asked loudly in my tiny voice .
There was silence for a while,most of them thought i was joking.
โIโm not joking guys,who wants to swim in a golden lake?โ I asked again and they hesitated before shouting;
โMeeeeeโ
โCome with us Everyoneโ I said and took hold of Danโs hand.
We started running to the lake with the students and teachers following us.
We got to the lake and stopped..everyone has gathered.
โShould we dip our necklaces in it or get in?โ I asked.
โLetโs get inโ Dan said and we smiled at each other before jumping into the lake, Dan was holding me though,Iโm a bad swimmer.
Everyone watched expectantly and i smiled as our necklaces started sparkling,it was so bright that it covered the lake immediately making it turn golden.
Everyone gasped except our friends who already knew.
โOMG!
Is this true?
Am i seeing things?
Look! Itโs truly golden.
So beautifulโฆโ They chorused.
โNow everyone do you wanna swim in the golden lake?โ I asked.
โYessssโ They screamed happily jumping into the lake one after the other including the teachers!
Wow!
Everyone is looking so happy and amazed.
Iโm glad we were all having fun even though the lake is crowded.
I turned to Dan and kissed him hard.
He returned my kiss and i quickly pulled away when things was starting to get hot.
He smiled.
โI love youโ He shouted in my ears.
โI love you tooโ I shouted back and hugged him tightly.
Itโs late, everyone has gone back to their cabins except Dan and i,we were both seated at the edge of the lake.
The moon shone brightly into the lake, making it sparkle, I cherish this view so much and Iโm sure gonna miss it.
I shivered and Dan drew me closer.
We were yet to get out of our wet clothes.
โAnelโ He called.
โHuh?โ I asked.
โHowโs Liam going to take our relationship?โ He asked and i glanced up at him. Heโs looking worried.
I smiled..โDan, thereโs nothing to be worried about okay? Iโm sure Liamโs mind is already softened,he would gladly accept usโ I said.
โAre you sure?โ
โOfcourse i am, Liam wonโt oppose our love. His mind is already softened,he called me yesterday asking of youโ I said.
โReally?โ He smiled.
โYeahโ I said.
โWow, Iโm so happy. Weโre good to goโ He brushed back my hair with his hand.
โYeah..yeahโ i said and poked his chest.
We both laughed.
โI think this adventure was specially made for our sake, cause a lot of things happened to us here and we conquered it allโ Dan said.
โYes,it was specially made for us but Dan i want everything that happened here to be our little secretโ I said.
โOhhโฆno problem,trust me i wonโt tell anyone,but maybe we will have to tell our children in the futureโ He said and i smiled.
โOfcourseโ I grinned happily.
I rested my head on his shoulder,and my gaze fell on the lake.
So beauโฆ
My hearbeat increased when i suddenly saw a huge shadow in the lake and it was getting nearer.
I gripped Danโs hand in fear and quickly closed my eyes.
โWater monsterโ I screamed, clinging to Dan tightly.
I expected him to tell us to run but he didnโt,he was laughing instead.
โAnel,itโs Vieโ He said still laughing.
โHuh?โ I opened one of my eyes.
โLook,itโs Vieโ he laughed hard holding his stomach.
I opened my second eyes and glanced up, truly it was Vie,she was approaching us. I looked back at the lake and realized it was her shadow.
Damn!
JUST FOR LOVE 2 Episode 51 by Azeemah Salami
?Anelโs POV?
We all started packing our boxes when we were told the buses are here to take us back to school.
We are all feeling sad.
We were served breakfast and we all ate in silence..i couldnโt finish my breakfast cause my throat was tightened with tears.
I dropped the remaining burger and my untouched coffee.
?Everyone come out,itโs time to go back home?
Tears dropped from my eyes and i quickly wiped it off but more kept coming.
Vie also started crying, Theresa followed and Ashlyn. Dave and Dan were fighting back their own tears.
?Come out students,the buses are ready?
We all stood up and picked our boxes.
Dan passed me a handkerchief and i wiped my tears.
He drew me closer to his chest and patted my back.
I cried loudly, soaking the front of his t-shirt.
I wonโt be seeing my friends regularly anymore.
I wonโt be seeing the lakeโฆ
Iโm gonna miss this place,this is the only place i got to know a lot of things.
We all walked out of the cabin.
Lots of students were crying and most of the teachers looked teary.
?It was nice having everyone come together,i hope you all enjoyed your ten days adventure??
โYesโ Few people said,the rest of us were in tears.
?The buses are waiting at the other end,letโs go everyone?
Slowly, everyone started moving.
โStop crying love,you know we canโt stay here foreverโ Dan said,still patting my back.
I nodded and wiped my tears.
โDonโt you miss home?โ He asked.
โI do but Iโm gonna miss hereโ i sniffed.
โSure,Iโm gonna miss here too. Stop crying huh?โ He said and i nodded.
We were about to cross the footbridge and i took one last glance at the cabins,tears dropped from my eyes and Dan helped me wipe it off as he led me towards the waiting bus.
We entered the first bus and sat at the back with our friends,soon it was filled and the remaining students entered the second bus.
Two teachers were in our bus, Mrs Claude and Mr Rolland.
Iโm glad Mr Jones is in the other bus.
Jacq and Karissa are not here but i can see Travis in the second role.
I sighed sadly when the driver turned on the ignition.
Weโre leavingโฆ
The bus was not as lively as when we were coming.
Everyone is sad and most students dont want to leave yet.
The driver started driving away and i tried hard not to cry.
Dan was smoothening my hair with his palm.
Minutes later,we were on the main road.
I fell asleep on Danโs shoulder.
**
I opened my eyes when i felt taps on my shoulder.
I yawned and raised up my head from Danโs shoulder.
I noticed the bus has stopped moving.
โWeโre in school babeโ Dan smiled.
โHuh?โ I cleared my eyes and looked around,truly weโve gotten to school.
I smiled, so happy to be back here but Iโm missing my cabin also.
Students were starting to alight and Iโm glad everyoneโs mood has improved.
We all picked our boxes waiting for our turn to alight.
We are at the back seat so we will alight last.
โUgh!โ I sighed when it finally got to our turn.
Dan helped me with my box as we all got down from the bus.
I stretched.
โWeโre back in schoolโ Vie smiled.
โIโm so happy to be backโ Theresa said.
โMe tooโ Ashlyn said.
โCount me in tooโ Dave said in a very funny way and we laughed.
My phone vibrated in my pocket.
I pulled it out.
โLiamโ
I swiped to the receiver before placing it on my ear.
?Hi Liam.
?How are you Anel?
?Iโm fine. Weโve gotten to school.
?Thank goodness! that was what i was about to ask. Iโll ask the driver to come pick you now.
?Okay Liam.
?We have some surprises for youโฆ
?Really?โ I smiled.
?Yeah..
?I canโt wait, howโs Ana?โ I asked.
? Sheโs fine and sheโs badly expecting you.
I smiled ?i canโt wait to see her too.
?Okay,the driver will be there soon.
?Okay, Bye
?Bye.
I disconnected the call and dropped my phone back in my pocket.
I turned back to my friends.
โSo..whatโs up?โ I asked.
โOh..my,we havenโt exchanged contacts yetโ Theresa said.
โOhhโฆ trueโ I said fetching my phone from my pocket.
We all exchanged contacts and after that we went to sit on a bench.
Students roamed about,most of them still discussing about our summer camp.
โWe all have to meet after leaving hereโ Dan said.
โYeahโ We chorused and i felt a bit sad.
Iโm gonna miss my friends.
โLetโs meet in my house,i will text the address to everyone of youโ Dan said.
โOkayโ
โSo when are we meeting?โ Dave asked.
โA day after tomorrow should be fine right?โ Ashlyn suggested.
โYeahโ
Some students whose cars has arrived started trooping out of the gate.
โI think my driver is hereโ Dave said after receiving a call.
We all stood up and hugged him one after the other.
โIโll miss you guys,you made my days at the camp fun and Iโm looking forward to seeing everyone againโ He said and was about walking away but he stopped and pecked Theresa who gasped in surprise.
He smiled and waved at us before walking away.
I smiled when i saw the colour of Theresaโs cheeks.
Damn!
We all sat down in silence waiting for our drivers to show up.
Vie also stood up after receiving a call.
โMy dad is hereโ She smiled and stood up.
We all hugged her bye.
Theresa and ashlyn also left remaining Dan and i .
โLetโs go stay outside the gate so we will know when our cars are hereโ He said.
โOkayโ I said and stood up,i was about picking up my box but he beat me to it.
โAhโ I sighed.. โDan,i can carry it myselfโ I said.
โNah! I canโt let you carry anything while Iโm with youโ He winked making me smile.
Am i not lucky?
We both walked to the gate, stepped out and stood beside each other.
We kept ourselves busy with small talks while waiting for our drivers to show up.
โIโm missing them alreadyโ I said.
โMe tooโ Dan said.
โI miss the camp too and the lakeโ i said resisting the urge to cry.
Dan sighed..โIโll keep remembering the lake every nightโ
โNow,you will make me cryโ I said.
โSorryโ He said.
โDan,come with your parents to our place todayโ I said.
โHuh? Why?โ He asked obviously surprised.
โWe need to settle everything,โ I said.
โLiam might throw us outโ He said.
โHe wonโtโ I said.
โAre you sure?โ He asked.
โTrust me,he wonโtโ I said.
โMy parents might not want to comeโ
โPlease make them. Donโt you want peace between our families?โ I asked.
โI do.. of course i doโ He said.
โThen letโs make that happenโ I said.
โOkay, Iโll tryโ He said.
I saw my car pulled up in front of us.
I smiled and stared at Dan.
โI have to leave nowโ I said.
โIโm gonna miss youโ He said, walking me to my car.
โMe too, besides we will be seeing each other later todayโ I said.
We stood by my carโฆ
Dan bent and pecked my cheeks,and then brushed his lips over mine.
I smiled, wishing the kiss lasted longer.
He opened the car door and i got in,he placed my box beside me and waved me Bye.
โByeโ I waved back.
He closed my car door and smiled.
โMy car is also here..bye Angelโ He blew kisses at me before walking away.
I smiled and watched him leave.
I said โhiโ to Jack,my driver.
โHow have you been?โ He asked.
โIโve been fine Jackโ I said and adjusted in the backseat.
He turned on the ignition and started driving home.
I canโt wait to see everyone again and i canโt also wait to see the surprise they have for me.
I peered out of the window as Jack drove on..
Iโm just realizing how much Iโve missed everything.
I was elated when we finally got home, Jack pulled into the compound.
I grabbed my box and alighted from the car,i didnโt wait to close the car door before rushing to the front porch.
I opened the door and stepped in.
I smiled as a familiar scent welcomed me.
โIโm homeโ I shouted happily as i walked into the living room.
I dropped my box.
โAnelโ I heard Ana screamed from the stairs,she appeared seconds later running right into my arms.
I hugged her tightly and then kissed her curly blonde hair.
โI miss you Anelโ She said.
โI missed you moreโ I smiled and lifted her up.
โUgh! Youโve added more weightโ I said dropping her immediately.
She rolled her eyes and i laughed..
Damn! Iโve missed this girl.
โHow have you been?โ I asked.
โIโve been fine but i was bored during your absenceโ She pouted.
โIโm back now sisโ I winked.
She smiled.
โWhereโs Liam and Mum?โ I asked.
โWe are hereโ I heard their voices and then glanced up to see them smiling brightly.
They looked different though.
I grinned happily and ran into their arms.
Just ten days and i missed them badly.
They both pecked me on each cheek.
โI miss you so muchโ Mum said pulling me into another hug.
โI miss you too Mum and howโs the baby doing?โ I asked.
โFineโ She smiled and rubbed her baby bump proudly.
โHowโve you been Anel?โ Liam asked.
โFine,i missed everyoneโ I said.
โHow was your summer camp,was it fun?โ He asked.
โIncredibly fun. I took lots of pictures and i canโt wait to show them to youโ I smiled.
โReally?โ They smiled.
โYesโ I said.
โAnelโ Mary called before rushing to me.
โMaryโ I smiled hugging her back.
โHow have you been?โ She asked.
โIโve been fine and you?โ
โIโm good Anel,i already prepared your mealโ She Smiled.
โThanks so much..i miss you and i miss your delicious meals tooโ I said and she smiled before returning to the kitchen.
I glanced round the living room and smiled.
โI miss home too,i canโt wait to to get to my room. Bring my box Anaโ I said, about climbing the stairs to my room when Liam stopped me.
โOur surpriseโ He said and pointed to my back.
I turned and saw Milana.
โMilanaโ I screamed happily and jumped into her arms.
She smiled and drew my cheeks playfully.
โI hope youโre not here cause you have a film to shoot?โ I asked and she laughed.
โNah,Iโm here to spend some time with youโ She said.
โYes! You keep looking more beautifulโ I said staring at her face.
โThank youโ She smiled and turned dramatically for me to check her out.
I laughed.
โHowโs Thack Holcomb?โ I whispered to her and she hissed before rolling her eyes.
โAh!โ I sighed..โWell, i have a lot of gistโ I said.
โReally?โ Her face lit up.
โYeahโ I smiled, thinking about Dan.
โOur surprise is not over yet..โ Liam smiled.
โReally?โ
โYeahโ He said pointing to the stairs.
My gaze trailed to the stairs and it landed on;
โFallen angelsโ I screamed happily in a deafening way before rushing to them.
We were all seated round the dining table, having a meal.
โIโm so happy to have you both aroundโ I said to Migvin.
These people are damn cute,they are the real definition of beauty..i mean beauty resides in them.
They are not young anymore yet they look like youngsters.
Their son, milโs brother is studying engineering in the states.
โWeโre glad to be here too darlingโ Vinnie smiled.
โI want you both to sing for me when weโre done eatingโ I said.
โNo problem with thatโ Miguel said,helping Vin to tuck her hair behind her ears.
Awwwn.
โThanks so much Migvin,your necklaces saved usโ I said.
โLiam filled us in on everything before your arrival,Iโm so sorry about your mumโs death. Itโs so painful,but Iโll be very plain; no one caused her death,it was already destined so i think no one should be blamed for it โ Miguel said.
I nodded,tears filling my eyes.
โComโon Anel, donโt cry huh?โ Vinnie patted my back and i nodded.
โBesides i love your name; Asanelโ She said.
โThanksโ I smiled.
โI love your name tooโ i said.
โThank youโ She giggled like a teenager.
โThe last time you came to Australia,you were a bit cold but now,youโre the complete oppositeโ Mig said and i smiled.
โWellโฆmy boyfriend made me changeโ I said and they all gasped.
โYour boyfriend?โ Liam asked.
โYes, Dan and i are in a relationshipโ I said, prepared for what will come next.
โYes!โ Mil screamed happily and we both exchanged high-five.
โThat guy is cute,Iโm glad you made the right choiceโ She whispered to me.
โI love him so muchโ I said,loud enough for everyone to hear.
Liam looked surprised while Mum smiled, Ana giggled and i saw Mary peeping from the kitchen,she was smiling approvingly.
I laughedโฆit seems theyโre happy about me dating Dan except Liam of course.
โYou mean Dan,the son of your motherโs friend?โ Vinnie asked.
โYeahโ I nodded.
โGood! Thatโs how it should be,you both need to fill in for the love your parents missedโ She said.
I smiledโฆ โThank you maโam,i hope youโre not leaving anytime soon?โ
โNah! We will be here for a weekโ
โYes! Iโm so happy and Iโm looking forward to the days Iโll spend with you both.โ I said.
I avoided Liamโs stern gaze as we kept on eating.
He should take it or leave itโฆIโm dating Dan and nothing can stop me!
We sat in the living room, relaxing and watching one of the movie Mil starred in.
The happiness in her parents eyes was priceless,it shows how proud they were of their daughter.
The doorbell rang twice and Mary quickly went to get it.
Is Dan here with his family?
I sat up to see the person at the door.
Dan! And his family,his biological mum is present too.
They all walked into the living room and i glanced at Liam whose expression was unreadable.
He suddenly stood up and my heard started beating fast when he walked towards Artist Shaw.
Did he want to hit him again?
I shouldnโt have told Dan to come with his family.
Ahh!
I was about standing up too when Liam surprised everyone by pulling Artist Shaw into a hug.
What!
Am i starting to see wrongly?
