CHAPTER 31: Let's Go

Mia nodded in response to his question. She noticed that both were all dressed up and she got curious "where are you two going? "she asked " we are go to friends party "it was Lucy who replied and Mia nod as she had gotten her answer "have fun "she smiled and they bid her goodbye before leaving. Now alone in the room, Mia wondered if Ryan was also home "cuz if he is then that would mean they are the only ones in the house "she thought and wanted to check if he was really around but changed her mind at the last minute. She got reminded that Carl was going to send her the package today , so she reached out for her phone that was inside her pocket and called him but unfortunately his number was not going. She came to a conclusion that he was busy because he would not miss her call .

Going to the kitchen to get herself water to drink before she thinks of what to do for the rest of the day , she heard the doorbell ring twice. she ran towards it and opened it slightly because she was not sure if she or any one else was expecting a visitor . Seeing it was a delivery guy she was a little relieved before she for she asked him who the package was for . "Are you miss Mia Albert " he answered her question with a question " Ye...ss " Mia answered not sure why he asked " Mr Carl sent this to you but before I can release it to you , you have to sign here and here " he said while showing her the place her signature will be needed. "ohh sure " Mia said as she collected the pen and signed the first part as she was about to sign the second part she heard a deep voice coming from behind her " What is going on here? " startled Mia looked back to see that the owner of the voice was no other than Ryan who was only wearing a pair of pants and a long robe covering his upper body that was still exposed to mia. Staring at his shirtless upper body Mia noticed that his rock-hard abs were not a work of art but were like those of... well she couldn't describe it but it was perfect . For the first time she found Ryan extremely handsome that she wanted him all to her self , it was now she understood why girls want Ryan for themselves not only because of his money but because of how handsome he is , he would be perfect for any girls dream.

" What is going on here ?" Ryan asked for the second time , snapping out of her dream world , " A friend of mine brought it for me " Mia said as she tried to get her head away from thinking about Ryan shirtless upper body. " And am just about to sign " she continued Ryan who said nothing and just carried the box to the living room as Mia quickly signed the second part quickly , thanked the delivery guy and came running to where Ryan was . She saw Ryan already opening her package "why are you opening it " she asked Ryan curiously "just wanted to check if someone delivered a bomb at my house " Ryan said as he opened the box ,his voice filled with sarcasm. Seeming surprise Ryan wandered what mia needed all this materials for , is she into creation of games ? he thought to him self .

Seeing his confused face Mia took the box from his hand and said " seems like you have a lot to learn about your girlfriend " as she walked to her room but suddenly she felt a tight grip on her left hand as he pulled her close to him . " i hope it is not too late to start learning " Ryan said as he pulled her more close to him . Noticing how close they were that their lips was only a few inches away from each other Mia finds her way out of the grip . For a while Mia wanted to stay in his warm embrace but it just does not feels right .

After a few seconds of what seems like a long minutes of a very awkward silence Ryan sat down on the sofa and gestured for Mia to sit beside him . " Don't mind me just do your thing and pretend as if I was not here don't worry I will not disturb you " . she stared at him for a while before nodding seeing that Ryan was for real she agreed, she went to her room and brought all the material she will be needing for her game and came back downstairs to Ryan's side .

But before she sat down both exchanged looks but she was quick to look away before seating beside him. As she looked at what Carl had sent her,her mind went blank as she felt she had no clue what to do with Ryan seating beside her.

Remaining focused,she could see Carl was not done with the game and she, for a while she continued with it but soon felt distracted as she looked beside her to see Ryan busy on his phone.

She paused what she was doing and brought out her drawing tab before deciding to draw how she wanted the characters in the game to be while comparing it with the one she had done with the game. She got lost but soon felt Ryan's eyes on her, she bit her lower lip not wanting to look at him back .

The pencil in her hand was gone,her head shifting to see it with Ryan. He moved nearer closing the distance between them as he stretched and she saw him correcting something on her tab at the same time on the game she was making. At that moment,she saw the mistake she made, being distracted she didn't pay attention to what she was doing

"thank you"she whispered and appeared to want to say something

"say it"Ryan urged

"well,is it okay if I work with you?"she asked waiting for his response.

"okay"Ryan agreed and she was elated

"really when do I start?"her voice was filled with excitement as the happiness filled her . she didn't want to do nothing and wanted to be busy.

"now"he simply replied but Mia wasn't expecting for him to say now but she didn't think much of it."but first finish that"he then excused her.

She stared at the game in front her and realised she was almost done with it ,she wasted no time and proceeded to finish it. By the time the game was finished,it felt silent, Ryan hadn't come downstairs and she was starting to think he wasn't home.

Deciding to go meet him later as she felt tired she closed her eyes deciding to relax a little bit putting her mind in complete relaxation.

Foot steps could be heard as she closed her eyes,as the noise got closer,she opened her eyes to see Ryan standing in front of her,he was all dressed up . Mia wasn't given the chance to speak when he spoke first

"let's go"his hands were placed in the pockets of his long coat and Mia felt herself admiring him.
