Chapter 70
Miguel's pov
The three of them shared a secret look, one I can't decipher.
"You're hurt?" Daniel asked as he checked my arms, and truth is, there was actually blood on my skin.
"It's nothing." I tried to close it. I don't need them regretting on not dealing with Solomon.
"It's not nothing if you're hurt Miguel, it's more than something," Donald said as he takes me into his arms in a close embrace " let me check on it, no? "
I glared at him " you knowingly did what you just did now," I pouted.
Removing the hand covering my wound, I allowed them
to check on it.
"It's just a small scratch,"Donald said as he wipes the blood off my wound "let's get out of here?" he gives me a questioning look.
" Yeah let's leave, class is about to start," I want to leave this dreadful room asap.
"Are you sure you're up for your lessons?" Damien gave me a concerned look
"we can ask the teachers to exempt you from class for today. "
I smiled at their concerned expressions "am okay, and moreover missing classes won't bring Mond back to life rather it will help me fulfil the wish I know he have for me."
I turned my glare towards Donald " and don't think of canceling our date tonight."
A date I don't want to go to as much as I want to go there. It's a date that will secure me only one of the siblings while I loose the others.
"We won't miss it for anything in the entire world," Donald smiled.
I don't know why, but it seems odd that whenever I ask something of the other, when promising instead of saying I, they end up saying we.
"Let's go," I walked out of the class before them. I might have smiled and joked, but my mind completely isn't here, but with Mond wherever he might be.
"I hope you give me a second chance to be a friend that truly deserves you in our next life" I whisper to the winds who I know will relay my message to him when they find him in the land of the dead.
"Who're you talking to?" Donald asked as he caught up with me.
"Mond" I shrug.

I've been standing in front of my closet for close to an hour now not knowing the right clothe to wear for my date tonight.
I can't believe am officially going on a date tonight!
I would have called Bianca to come help me out, but I don't have the strength to endure her words. Her I told you so will be more than her, you've got to wear this for the date.
I've not been in a date before, and I don't know what to wear or what to expect.
Will it be like the lunch I had with them and mom on the day I returned home? will it be more cozy than that?
Should I put on casuals or should I be a bit classy?
uh, I pulled on my hair.
am seriously not cut out for this.
Mom was watching a movie when I walked downstairs,
"mom" I called to get her attention.
"yes darling what's it?" she turns towards me.
Now I've gotten her attention, what will I ask her?
I must have wasted enough time contemplating on how to go about my question to her because she stood up with a concerned look on her face as she walks closer to where am standing.
"Darling is anything the matter?"
I shook my head "nothing's wrong" I looked at my nails, noticing they're getting leaner as the day progresses.
How possible is it that I didn't notice my growing fingers?
"Miguel you're getting me worried," she shook me " what's wrong?"
" Donaldskedmeoutwithhisbrothers," I said it too fast I myself didn't even understand what am saying.
" Darling you're too old to be talking gibberish like a baby. I didn't say you're not my baby because you're, but talk to me in a language I will understand," she smiles kindly.
Taking a deep steady breathe, I closed my eyes as I prepared to tell her exactly what I came down to do.
"Donald asked me out with his brothers, and am afraid I don't know the right clothes to wear for our date tonight." I tightened my eyes as I said those words.
There was no sound, not even that of our breathing was heard, and when I chanced to open my eyes, I saw a shocked face.
"Oh my god!" she squealed after. long time of standing like a statue " my baby's growing up," she dramatically sniffed as she enveloped me in a bone crushing hug, while still chanting "Oh my God, oh my God," over and over again.
" Mom"!"I looked away embarrassed " you're making me more embarrassed than I was minutes ago."
She's acting like she's the one going on a date, and not me.
" Sorry darling,"she said as she wiped the tears off her eyes " am just too happy my baby have finally caught the eyes of three handsome males, " she winks
" it will be triple the loving."
"Mom!" I whined, my cheeks too hot to be considered normal "I don't need to hear those words from your mouth, and moreover am not dating the three of them, am only dating Donald."
I know I want to date the three of them, but I don't think they will be welcome to such suggestions.
"Oh my baby's just naive. I can't believe you've not seen the way the three of them look at you. like you put the stars in the sky," she fanned herself " such scorching looks makes an old woman like me wish for similar things."
And am officially going to die of embarrassment.
I survived a kidnap and a run in with Solomon only to die in my house.
at the hands of my mother for that matter.
It's like safely crossing an ocean only to drown in a river.
"Don't mind me son, am just having fun through you."
