Chapter 60

Miguel's Pov

Waking up from the nap I took the moment my head rested against the pillow.

I stretched my body( it's always good to stretch taunt muscles whenever you wake up from sleep; it helps some how).

"How was your nap? I would have asked but seeing how refreshed you look I will say you had quite a sleep,"  Daniel says from his position at the other side of my room.

I wasn't really surprised to see him. If anything, my mind was at ease seeing him.

Looking around I checked for his brothers.

" they're not here; I came all alone to check on you,"  he says with an indifferent look on his face.

His expression at my non asked question wasn't the same as Damien's was when I asked of his brothers.

Damien acted hurt, while Daniel here want looking anyhow bothered.

"Where's mom?"

I can't believe that woman allowed a male into my room.

well I can believe she actually did that since she've been known to take matters into her hands most times.

He shrugs "I don't know, and moreover I didn't take the normal route to your room." 

My face dawn's in realization of what he means "you climbed into my bedroom through my window?"

I can't believe the stupidity this guys have most times.

What if he fell and hurt himself real bad just because he doesn't want my mom to see him as he enters my room?

"It's no big deal,"  he shrugs like climbing a person's window is the norm in this town.

"No big deal when you climbed a storey high without the help of anything; not even a tree is close by to aid you with your climb?*

I can't believe he took that risk just to see me.

" Like is said earlier, it's nothing just let it drop already,"  he looks irritated.

" It's your life; you do as you please,"  I shrug. "  I won't be concerned for a person who isn't concerned about themselves." 

Sighing he sits on my bed " how're you doing so far?"  he looks down at his fingers,twirling them like how a ballerina twirls ( not that I have seen a ballerina twirling).

" Am okay thanks for asking,"  I sit on the chair near my door.

"Do you need anything? anything whatsoever it might be I will get it for you, " he says with a look of promise on his face.

I guess He's feeling guilty about what they did to me last night.

"Am craving a pepperoni pizza,"  that's the only thing I miss on our old location.

A pizza plaza isn't in this place so I don't know how he will manage to get the pizza, but if he can get them; I will be really grateful to the extent of dancing the maypole with him( not that I won't do that without him buying the pizza. Am all game now if he so much as makes an advance on me).

"A pizza that is,"  he smiles "I will be right back before you know it with your hot scorching delight," he promises as he walks towards his mode of transport; the window.

"Next time make use of the door,"I  glare at him,

"I can't promise that love,"he  winks before he jumped.

Shrieking at the top of my voice, I run towards the window; this guy really does have a death wish.

I know what I will see when I look down; blood covering the battered remains of a once handsome boy.

Reaching the window, I look down expecting to see the exact image I conjured up, but what I saw was a smug looking Daniel giving me an air kiss before he takes off running towards his car parked opposite my home.

Thank the Lord that fool is still alive.

"Darling what's wrong?" mom says as she barges in to my room.

"are you okay? I heard you shout" her face's really stricken with fear.

"Am okay mom; I just shouted when a car almost crushed a cute puppy, the puppy's too cute to die by accident."

I fake a look of pity to make me mummy actually believe my words.

"Oh darling, what happened to the puppy?" she palms her heart as she walks towards me.

"It luckily ran into the home of our neighbor before it can be crushed."

am really a master liar, but wait ooo, when did I learn to lie this way?

"Isn't that one of the trips vehicle?"  she points at Daniel's car as he starts up his car engine.

Shrugging I walk towards me bed "I don't know; it can be one of our neighbors for all I know."

I hope she lets the matter lie like that.

" That's really one of them; I haven't seen any other person driving the exact make of their car." she gives me a pointed look

"  did you shout because of a puppy with blonde hair and cute eyes?" She teases as she walks closer to me.

"Mom! it nothing like that. I really saw a puppy; I don't know what you're getting on with saying the person you saw is one of the trips."

my words would have been believable if not for the blush on my face; my face was as red as a tomatoes.

"I know that look when I see it young man, you can't escape from a mother's eyes, and you know that."

" I don't know what you're talking about,"  I shrug with a look of indifference ( you know what expressions you make when you make them).

"I was just sleeping here until I heard the screeching of a vehicle; it was what woke me up from sleep,"  I fake yawned as if I want to have another nap.

"And I would have believed you if I don't know who you're,"  she smiles  "it must have been the hooting of an owl's call that woke you up from sleep. Now tell me the exact triplet that came here,"  her glare was one you don't want to mess with.

" Daniel was here not long ago,"I  said in resignation
