Chapter 18

Dodd

David's P.O.V

I couldn't concentrate on my physics class. Understanding all the sums and how to solve them was now hard for me to comprehend. I know probably the teacher is wondering why am not active with solving the sums while am usually the first to answer all the questions.

I kept dancing my thighs as they hit each other, I twirled the pen side ways and looking on my wrist watch for the millionth time. I wanted to get out of this chair and run, run somewhere, maybe I will be able to concentrate after that.

But Where would I run to?

Vin hates me like some plague,

Daniella must have been given good strokes and called Vin's name like a hundred times, she hAs probably forgotten how I look like.

Right now am not in her 'To do list' it's all about Vin, touching her and giving her the love she always yearns for,

And I know in that store, Vin is fucking her with his eyes closed, he doesn't want to see her, because he is afraid,

Afraid?

Of what?

He doesn't care at all!

As long as his rigid stick touches her pussy and he pours himself into her, he doesn't care, at the end of the day, he will tell her to get a P2,

He can't be a responsible man!

Asshole!

"Wait, wait, David's you are probably thinking this in the wrong way," my mind suppressed.

"What if Daniella has been given a million and one slap with Vin? What if she has been chocked again and she is lying on that hospital bed aimlessly?" 

"Fuck you brain!"

"Now you can all go and make sure you do the assignment," the Physics teacher startled me.

I just don't care what assignment we are supposed to do because right now my assignment is Daniella.

I need to know if she is okay,

I Want to be sure that, that Asshole has not fucked her and strangled her for nothing.

I rushed out of the class, placed my book in the locker and hurriedly dashed out of the room, I was aiming to catch any taxi passing by.

Luckily enough, I managed to get one.

The first place my head hit was Vin's home. I know I had classes to attend but I can recover those lessons by having an extra time.

"What destination sir," asked the driver in an indian accent.

"Ooh come on, am I not a girl?

Everyone thinks am a dude,"

I know they will probably know that when I remove these hanging licks on my face.

"Tent.....,"

I was startled by the ringing of my phone, I decide to look at it first before replying to the taxi guy. Maybe it's Daniella who needs my help,

Fuck why are my expectations so high?

But a second look,

Fuck! Oooh No! Dad? 

Why would he call at this time of the day when he is supposed to be on a business trip?

I reminded my worried face and did my happy smile before he becomes worried about me.

"Hello dad," I said with a perfectly schooled  smile. Wow he is in his suit and in the office?

"Hello boy, are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, why didn't you tell me you are back?" I asked tying my knots into a neat official bun. He never loves them hanging on my face,

"You look homeless," he had once complemented when I has started working in his company. I did not need a second complement to understand what he wanted me to do.

"Ughhh, can't I surprise you, you already know this is my office," he chuckled. "Darling, he knows your office like the back of his hands," 

There you go again, they don't recognise the feminine in me.

I saw my mum coming into the view with her happy smile. 

Sorry I forgot to mention, my dad is white, Italian white and my mum is Italian and kenyan race.

"Mum!" I asked shock, she was in her business suit?

What are they not telling me?

"Sweeties, how long can you make it here?" My mum asked.

That question startled me, but seeing my mom and dad all in their business suits it's like business was aboutt to go down. I looked at my watch and looked at the taxi's map, I can probably take 20minutes.

"25 minutes," I replied, trying not to show that they had disrupted me from going to save someone I love.

"Okay baby, just go slow with the driver you have thirty minutes to get into the office," she replied fixing my dad's tie.

I in turn texted Damien and asked him to keep an eye in case he sees Daniella in school.

Instead of him replying back 'OK' like normal dude, he replied using food emojis.

Ughhhh, another budget for free subway for lunch for a week!

Nothing comes for free.

"Where to sir?" Came the indian Voice again.

"School then to Blacks building."

I explained to him feeling exhausted. 

Yeah, I was exhausted, I need to pick the file I was given in the morning. The good thing I filled it, then head to my dad's office.

BLACKS BUILDING.

I arrived at the building and admired the works of my hand. I had contributed to the architectural design of this office. Dad had asked me what I had in mind when my uncle Jimmy passed away before finishing it. 

I had a hobby for drawing and building and this was my first project, I was an armature but when I got help from expert, I was happy to see what I had imagined come through.

I waved my hands to the security at the entry before taking a public elevator towards my dad's office.

I met Andrew and we exchanged pleasnatry but not before handing be a cup of coffee and informing me that Brian sends his regards. 

I miss him a lot. He is a model, and I don't know how his dad deals with it because he hated the idea but my dad would never allow him to deprive that boy the only chance he had when the opportunity came through. Mr. Andrew wanted his son to focus on his studies and later join an army, but that has never been Brian's dream. He is fascinated about modelling and has even featured in some of my mom's design show and trust me though he is 19, you can't beat him, hope you get to meet him one of these fine days.

I moved towards the office and pushed the door, 

"What the.....," I couldn't process what I was seeing. The coffee mug slipped from my hand and hit the floor. 

Feeling the sting of hot coffee spilling on my thighs, my nervous hit back, 

"Mum, dad, guys," I just stammered trying to unsee what I had seen. I moved out of the room and rushed towards the washroom in embarrassment.

 "God! Will they ever keep their hands to themselves without touching touching each other?" I asked removing my pants and pressing them to dry.

They are always touchy. This is the type of love I have always wanted.  It's not materialistic, or based on expensive stuffs. I remember for their 17th anniversary, my dad bought my mum an ice cream and they strolled in the pack like ordinary people. My dad said that is their spot, where he met my mum when they were teenagers. They had labelled it their spot and written their names their. To keep the park alive, they have always made sure they contribute toward it's maintenance and their spot has always remained the same, except for the tree that they built when my mum proposed to my dad. Yeah she did it and not the other way round.

I came back from the washroom and sat by the waiting bay, waiting for the to compose up before i go in.

"Son, come in," said my father fixing her suit like nothing had happened to them, but I couldn't miss a little hickey on left ear.

I moved in and was ashamed that I did not knock.

"Guys am sorry that I d...." 

They did not allow me to finish my words and dismissed me saying it okay, they are the ones who are sorry, 

"But you both know that their is a bedroom just in the next door?" I asked smiling to provoke them.

But they ignored my words and my dad pulled the seat for my mom to seat, 

I took out my phone and texted my mom, 

"Please, rub the evidence on the side of the lips," 

She looked at her phone with brows arched and disappeared into the washroom.

"Darling are you okay?" Asked my dad.

"Nothing is wrong Honey," she replied.

When she was back she gave me the eye, and I didn't want to look into those eyes,

"So, Darling, are you ready to present the project that you were always fascinated about to the board?" Asked my dad.

"Yes, actually Mr. Andrew gave me the file and I corrected a few things, " I replied showing them the report file.

"My mum looked at the file then looked at me, I knew that was trouble, 

" what? I can't allow this!" She shouted.

"Mum," I called her softly. "Remember interior design is also like a design, but what I wanted from you is to decide on the pattern. Remember am coming up with great interior designs, and am going to use your company for that. Dads company is about steel, architecture but I want yours to be involved it's like you are creating something new." I defended.

She held my dads finger and looked at her in the eyes, are you sure she will come up with great things?" She asked him.

I knew my mum wouldn't agree into this idea because the last time I gave out a showdy work on the fashion project which stumbled her business to ground. She is still picking up, but this one I had done it perfectly for one year. I wanted it launched in this town, when I first met Daniella, when my dad asked me why I had changed the theme, I replied I had a nightmare of a beautiful building and the rest is history, I just didn't want them to attribute it to Daniella.

My dad, held my mom by her cheeks and gave her a peck, "I know she failed you once, and she always beats herself up, and this project was the idea she gave me, she has been working for it over a year am sure she will do it perfectly. 

My mum looked at me and laughed out heartly, " come on baby I was kidding, I will always give you a platform to work on. I know you can't make mistakes twice so let me believe this is going to be clean work."

I was surprised that she was just joking. I jumped my my chair and kissed her cheeks.

They really know how to make me happy.

"You know ma supposed to launch a new set of jewellery on Saturday right?" My mother asked.

"How can I forget about that mother? I have it in mind." Replying back to her And fished my phone out of my pocket and showed her a post I had created and did not want to post it before she confirmed.

"I know it's not the best poster, but I did not want to post it before you officially do it." I told her.

"Oooh," came her voice. "The poster is coming out tomorrow, and you will be able to post." She replied.

"So, any friends you want to call over or invite, free ticket for any two." She parted my back.

"Is Brian among those two?" I asked meekily.

"No! He always has a free pass, you know!" She replied.

She stood up and my dad, pulled the chair out for her," I have also invited The Clanks, her daughter will be part of the models."

"What? Daniella is gonna be part of them?"
