chapter 6

       To the stars that listened and to the dreams that were answered✨

When the rays of  sunlight from the windows hit my face I wake up.        

       I yawn stretching my hands,I soon notice that Durango isn't on his bed and his bed was neatly arranged.

'He's probably at his office ' I tell my self .

         I stand up from my bed and walk towards the window in my side of the room. The sun rays coming from it was too much so I had to close the window.

       Turning I see Durango with a towel wrapped around his waist his back facing me, he was looking at the mirror blow drying his hair . My

mouth literally drops at the sight of his body,in as much as I hate to admit I haven't seen anything more sexier than this .

       I soon notice from the mirror he had a smirk plastered on his face. I flush red in embarrassment at the fact that he just caught me checking him out.

He turns to me and my breath seizes for a minute at the sight of his packs and the nearly exposed v line at his abdomen.

     "Good morning wifey!", He says with a naughty smile . All the old feelings of irritation and all resurface.

"Good morning," I  murmur then i start  dressing my bed.

"Good morning what?", He presses looking at me with furrowed eyebrows. He's totally dreaming if he expects me to give him any endearment.

"Oh you don't wanna say anything it's fine."

"Good morning my worst nightmare", I snort .

The naughty smile was still on his face , "I've got to say that's super romantic....I love it."and trust me he wasn't being sarcastic.

Urghhhhh ! I mentally groan, I grab my robe quickly and go to the bathroom. I run the taps of the jacuzzi as I undress then wear my robe, my  phone beeps and I see a message from my mum.

A part of me didn't want to read it but also the other part of me was dying to know what she had written. I chose the later, I tapped on the message.

I take my time to read her well edited crap none of it moved me if anything it  made me more paranoid.

    if she was truly sorry like she said  she would have called to find out how I was doing or better still make that extra effort to visit and share in my sorrow not spam me me with sad emojis and a long epistle of shit....at least she should have called to teach me on how to be a good wife for a year and bless me with some survival instincts..but no this is what she thought was best cause she was scared . Scared of who?me ? Her egg!her freaking ovary.

     It's just so sickening to know my family is full of cowards and sooner or later i might be no different from them.

I feel suffocated I  turn off the taps and I leave the bathroom.

"Why are you on my neatly arranged bed?",

"Your bed?"

"Whatever", I retort. I didn't want to pick up a fight with him. That's not what newly cuffed people do, note the sarcasm.

"Hey what happened?why are you sad?", Durango asks while knotting his shoelace.

I look at him surprised while he does his knots..is he caring right now?or he thinks something is wrong cause I'm not trying to quarrel with him

"Sooo?"

"It's nothing really its just my mum"

"What did she do?"

"She's just pretty annoying", I sigh that's all I could confide in him.

"Oh .....well coming from you she must be really something" he looks up at me with a smirk. I let out a long hiss,

"And to think you could be helpful "

He chuckles at my statement, why the hell did I even feel he was being helpful, he's just a jerk, a fucking retard.

I go back to the bathroom to have my bath, while bathing I  couldn't help but notice his really expensive shampoo ,and top it all they were  cider and vanilla one of my favorites. I take them , I needed to wash my hair ,it's been looking quite disheveled lately. 

At least his shampoos and leave in conditioners would be more helpful than he can ever be.

I got out of the shower after a long while just to see him still in the room;

" Why are you still here?"

" Cause I can" he replies simply.

"Your going to be late for work", I think out loud. He hears me.

"And who's going to fine me", he says with a light chuckle, such egoistic human.

As I apply some body lotion on my body I notice his gaze on my body, if he stayed just to see skin then he's a jerk no cap. What kind of person does that ?

The light sign of lust in his eyes were supposed to be frightening me but I just found it amusing , this was just so funny to me . He's a sucker for my body I can tell.

He comes close to me and I stop in my tracks;

"What is it?" I question , more like why are you breathing the same air as me perv ? He suddenly came closer to me and I seem to be tongue tied.

"Just try eat today Miss Kerrighton "

Miss Kerrighton?, Now he's just mocking me.

"Don't get my Nan worried try and eat what she prepares"

I was about to say okay when my phone receives a notification. I attend to it, I open the message  sent to my E-mail.

" Congratulations  Miss Kerrighton Khloe Maleisha;

You've been granted a provisional admission to study graphic designing at ICECANOPE College, Manhattan.

Your expected to come to college on or before Friday this week  for your clearances and payments. Thanks for choosing ICECANOPE.

             Think ICECANOPE think quality education ✔️"

"OMG!!", I squeal ,

"I can't believe this!",

"What's that?", He questions my sudden outburst after reading the message, confusion was written all over his face .

"I just gained admission ! Omigoshhhhhh! I did it!" I scream dragging him into a bone cracking hug.

"Ew get off me !" He pushed me almost immediately. Then it dawned on me that I just hugged him out of my excitement.

"Excuse you", I couldn't just believe the way he said it making me feel like I was dirt. For freaking sake I didn't just survive quick sand , I just had my bath.

"You've ruined my shirt with that your damp hair silly girl ", he scoffs taking it off.

"I'm so sorry I was so excited I didn't know when I hugged sadness himself", I scoff. Right now I felt nothing but disdain towards him . He throws the shirt he removed into the washer and wears a new one. I pretend that I'm not hurt by such gestures , note to self never share your happiness with someone who can never be happy in his life talk more of being happy with you.

"I'm off to work don't leave this house without your chauffeur "

" I can drive Mr!"

"You better do as I say", and with that he disappears but trust me I'm no idiot to do as he says.

Writing this chapter was terribly difficult but I still had to cause if I don't give you ,how would you take😉
