Chapter sixteen

Laura's POV

Knock knock,.. There was a knock on the the door, I called for the person to come in. It was the lady from  yesterday. "Ma'am, I'm just here to inform you, that Mr Spitz is waiting downstairs for you to have breakfast"she said. Oh, so now he wants to have breakfast with me, when he refused coming over for dinner yesterday... I'll make him wait, I thought inwardly.

"Thank you, and sorry, I didn't get to know your name yesterday "I asked while  she smiled at me, "my name's Betty, I'm Mr Spitz's house help, and I'll be here to attend to your every need, all you have to do is ask"she said.

"Alright, just call me Laura, there's really no need for the formality ok? "

"Ok ma'am, I mean Laura. I'll be downstairs, you get ready Laura"she said turning around.

"I'll be there in a giffy Betty"I shouted after her as she closed the door.I hopped out of bed, dashing for the bathroom, I performed my morning routine, got dressed and went down stairs to eat.

     Ken was already sat, the moment I sat down, he dug into his food without  even saying a good morning to me. I was gonna be the bigger person anyways, if he was gonna act childish I'll so not be doing that with him. "Good morning Ken"I greeted.

"Morning "he grumbled out still not looking at me.

"How was your night? "I pushed on, trying to get him to talk to me since it was obviously he wasn't in my mood.

"Fine"he answered me straight, not even asking about mine. what's wrong with this one o? I thought.

"Ken, what's the matter with you? Or have you lost your manners? That's no way to respond to your fiance when she greets you"I said glaring angrily at him.

"Oh look who wants to talk about manners, "he dropped he cutlery, turning to face me now"you kept me here, waiting for you for almost an hour, and you can't even apologize but you say I don't have manners. See Laura, mind yourself o, don't provoke me"He got up, wipping him mouth and hands with the serviette, turned to leave. I stood up and came in front of him, "I'm sorry Ken, where are you going? "I pleaded with him.

"I've lost my appetite "he said shoving me aside and stormed off leaving me perplexed with his attitude. I haven't done anything wrong to him, so that's his problem, let him deal with it. I sat down and finish my food, then I took a tour of the house on my own, since Betty and the others were busy and Ken wouldn't show me around.

Its been hours now, I went back inside the house, since I was at the backyard admiring the view for too long. The whole house was quiet,I wondered around, looking for Ken or anyone. I was by my room door now, I walked towards Ken's room, I knocked twice on the door, but there was no responds so I open the door and took a peek, no one in sight I stepped in. Woah!!! This is definitely Ken's room, if I thought mine was large or beautiful, Ken's room shamed mine. The colour exactly the same as his room's back in Africa. I was still looking around, she I saw a photo frame of Mum, me, and Ken. Good old days, I thought, a tear escaping my eye. I really miss my mummy, and Sam too. I'll call them later. I noticed a door,I am just curious, blame my nature.

It was dark, when I opened the door. I took out my phone, putting on the flash light I started looking around, I noticed there was a piano, a guitar, sorry I means guitars, I don't even know how to classify them. Then there was a large desk with piles of papers on top I started scaring through, when my eye caught something. His song book,, the very one he never allows me to touch. Taking a clearer look now, I noticed this was his music room. I really wanted to know what was in it so shifting the books aside, I took the book, opening to the fist page I hopped on the desk and began reading.

****

She has my heart

but I don't have hers

The moment I saw her

I knew I was in love

The way she looks at me

Her innocent smiles and

Her beautiful eyes

I may never be able to tell you how -

"LAURA!!!".... I heard Ken's scream. OMG I'm dead, if he meets me in here, I'll be in deep shit. I closed the book, and ran out of the room closing the door, I placed the photo frame back where I took it and closed Kens room door behind me. I practically ran downstairs, I started hearing weird noise as I got closer.

"Well, if anything happen to her, consider yourselves all fired"Ken screamed at what I guessed was the house helps. "How could you all be so stupid to leave her on her own? where does she know around here? "

"We're so sorry sir"Betty was saying as I entered the living room. "It will not re-"

"What's going on here? "I asked the minute I stepped in. All faces turned to me, but I'm major concern was the very angry man before me.

"Laura, come here now!!! "Ken commanded.The normal me will not go, because he doesn't have the right to command me like that but seeing the situation at hand, I knew best than to argue. So I walked shakily towards him.

"Where the hell have you been young lady? Why did you take off like that? "He asked grabbing my arms shaking me as he spoke"do you have any idea how everyone has searched for you? "

"Ken stop, your hurting me" he let go of me immediately. "I didn't go anywhere, I was here in the house, was just seeing around"I was close to tears now seeing the worry in his eyes. He ran his fingers through his dark thick curls, "don't ever do that again, I was so worried about you"he was worried about me, happy happy me.

"You were really worried about me? "I managed to ask, so he isn't gonna noticed my excitement.

"Of course, Mum will have a heart attack if anything should happy to you and I love mum too much to let that happen". Oh, it was all about mum, he couldn't be worried about me. I felt so bad, the person I love the most, doesn't even care about me.

"I'll be stepping out now, don't wait for me. I won't be coming back now. Tomorrow, I'll take you for your school's interview"Ken's deep voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Ken, where are you  going? I wanna come along with"I said grabbing his arm.

"None of your business "he said grabbing his car keys. "And you're not tagging along"he slammed the door before I could protest. I huffed annoyed, stamping my foot like a child deprived of his ice cream. I checked the time, it was past 7pm, he couldn't stay any later because it was already late. I decided to wait for him till he gets back.

So I took off my jacket, sat on the sofa to view a movie while waiting for him to come home....

So Wadup y'all?... Laura's waiting for Ken now, I wonder when he's coming home, or if he's bringing back a surprise for her😱. Y'all can make your guesses too.
