Chapter 214 Finding Love

      The dinner was over before we know it. I was anticipating having a nice time with mom and Xylie,I did not enjoy it the way I was supposed to and I think it has to do with Ben and his girlfriend's presence.

    We were now in the living room watching a family series *FINDING LOVE*.

   Finding Loving tells a story of how different people find love in unexpected and expected way. It tells more of what power love has on every creature. Most of the stories true but the rest is make up. I am a lovey dovey person but some of ideas of what love can do does not sit well with me.

   I would not say I fancy watching this series but since everyone is watching and kinda of enjoying it,I decided to watch to and see maybe I could be entertained as well. Leaving here will seem odd and I don't want Ben to have the impression that his presence is affecting me.

   I was sitting in between Mom and Xylie while Rosie and Ben sat across me. I checked my time to see that it's already late and going home tonight,I don't think Mom will allow it so the best thing for me to do is to sleep in Gina's room or maybe I could use magic to go home but then,it's not advisable so I am sticking with sleepover. It will save me al ot of stress.

     "I feel like I want to receive some fresh air, I will be right back"

I whispered to Xylie, I stood up and left the living room, a breathe of fresh air will do me a lot of good. And I know where to get it.

     I reached my destination and pulled the balcony door open,I know it will not be locked. The balcony, happens to be my favorite place in the house because each time I visited here with Gina,we gisted and have fun here. There is the kind of serenity the balcony gives that I can't explain. It's only Gina and I that understands that there is more to this balcony because we are the only one who find time to sit here.

    You might be wondering how I know when I don't live here,well Mom does not fancy staying here but maybe Xylie comes here now that he is here because it looks well cleaned up.

  I moved over to the bench and sat down. I closed my eyes and decided to relax and let the sweet air fill my soul.

Ben's point of view....

   To say I was not watching every moves Nora  made will make  me a liar, starting from when she helped Mrs Smith with food to mine to when she flirted with Xylie. To me,I might say she did pulled that out for me because somehow I feel connected to her,like I know when she is trying to put up a facade or not and after the action played by both of them,I came to conclusion that they are not in any relationship so it's either she is a relative or more like acquaintance but they are not romantically involved. But why I am bothered so much?,it's not like I will leave Rosie for someone who has a guy in her life. 

     We finished our dinner and I must say that I did not enjoy like the way I did last time maybe it because it has do with the fact that Nora prepared it or maybe it's more like it was the first meal she prepared for me or it could be it was the fact that she prepared it with so much love.

    Xylie has suggested that we see a movie and everyone has agreed except Nora because she was so reluctant to go to the living room with us. We settled down and in the middle of the series she left,I was tempted to go with her at first but I did not want anyone of them suspecting anything.

   I just sudden have this urge to be with her so when I thought the coast was clear,I excused myself to go use the restroom which Xylie had led me to. I truly eased myself then went in search of her.

   I followed the trace of her fragrance and it led me to a closed door. I thought of going in or not. What happens if I go in and she does not want to see me,it will be another rejection. I shook my head and decided to go in,it takes courage for one to do something. I can't help the fact that I can't forget her,I want to know why I can't let go of her. Why my heart has refused to be extracted from her. Why I feel like there is a force pulling me towards her.

    Maybe after I have seen her for the last time,I will finally move on. I exhaled and pulled the door open and there sat the only lady that my heart yearns for.
