262: She Has A Ride!

🥀Happy Reading❤🌹

                       Daniella's P.O.V

It has been good being reunited with The Blacks. Life has been good. Mum Vicky is welcoming and everyone in the family seems to love us. They already had plans for me. They enrolled me in college and all I can say is I am grateful for the opportunity they are giving me. I couldn't do this without them. As much as I wanted to stay on the island forever and pretend like they don't exist, I will be lying to myself if I say I didn't miss, them. This family is all that I wanted in my life. Brian had decided to take this way up by recruiting me as a model and at the same time as his assistant. I would walk with him in every place and do everything with him as if I know what I am doing. The truth, is  I suck at being a secretary and he admits it every day. I suck at typing so we had to hire a proper secretary to do my work, I would instead travel the world and do other things like helping him during the audition and photoshoots.

There is only one problem, Davids. Davids does not see me as someone who needs all of these. All she sees is someone who broke her heart. She has everything a woman could want and more. She has grown into this feared person that I would have to gather the courage to talk to. I don't have enough power to even tell her sorry. The moment I try to call to ask about my two babies, I just lose the courage and Brian does the call because he doesn't see her the same way I do. Her reaped muscles drive me crazy and at the same time,e they are threatening me. Ever since I came to this place I have been dreaming about her, we are either in the same bed or in some bed with white sheets and peaceful. I have been dreaming of her doing crazy things to my body and by the time I wake up, I am all sweaty and wet. Maybe it's because I am sleeping in her room. I can't tell Brian this, he will start to tease me the way he can't stop talking about the babies resembling Davids every day. 

They love Davids and Davids loves them too. The only problem is, I don't know. 

Why would she love the kids, spend all her money on their expensive education, make sure that Noelle gets basketball training and they train every day in the morning, buy the expensive stuff that I couldn't afford for them and let them sleep in her house? She doesn't love me the way she loved both Noelle and Zeke. As much as the kids are reassuring me to go with them to her house, I am not doing that. I know they are responsible and I heard Davids has strict rules for all of them.  They get picked up every day from school when they are sleeping in Davids's house and when they are sleeping in mum Vicky's house, Mr Black or Andrew picks them up from school.  

They are living the life they dreamt of. I don't worry about that, the only worry I have is Davids not forgiving me and it kills me every day. The fact that I am still married to Vin kills her. She used that against me every time we are bound to meet which has never happened ever since we moved to New York, she didn't come to the family dinner because she had gone to German for some business. Maybe at the next family dinner, she will be there and I will get to talk to her. Being married doesn't mean that I loved Vin, he is dead to me because he doesn't even exist anymore get since my mother was taken to prison and my grandpa was killed.

"Excuse me, Miss, are you still waiting for your ride? Many people are gone maybe you should try to confirm or the college can arrange for your trip home."

I was done with classes for today and I am here waiting for either the driver or Brian to pick me up from college. It's not like we agreed to go somewhere, he is the one who picks me up and drops me off but if he is too busy, mum Vicky promised she will pick me up because sometimes she works with Brian. I don't want to bother Clara. She has been enjoying her stay with Damien. She is now the co-founder of  Brian's empire and is in charge of advertisements. She is still trying to find her way in the fashion industry. 

          "No, she has a ride."

Davids? What is she doing here? I was not supposed to be riding with her and I had told Brian not to allow her to come to pick me up. That was the last thing that I wanted her to do.

"Okay, sir, we are always offering rides for students who haven't been picked. We thought since she was new, she didn't have no one to pick her."

Jesus, this man better stop talking because Davids will just insinuate that we had something going on.

"She has a phone and legs with her plus a mouth and she can say anything but not accept a ride, so can you excuse us, baby, come we are running late."

Am I now her baby? Maybe she is trying to make the man feel jealous and that's all. She grabs my bag and holds my hands. I wanted to ask her what she is doing but at the same time didn't have that power. I was drowned in her cologne and her body. I dont know if I am crazy but I wanted to just lean into her. I wanted her to hold me until this storm ends but I know it was not a storm. I am just afraid of what will come out.

She opened my door and asked me to get in. When the safety belt jammed, she swiftly helped me wrap it. Placing my bag inside the passenger seat, she got in. 

"Sorry, Brian and mum are busy today, they said they would be late and the rain was hovering in the sky I didn't want you to get rained on so I came to pick you up "

Can I say she is such a gentle lady? She didn't want me to be rained on so, she came to pick me up?

                                  Thank you.

Instead of saying welcome the way she used to, she looked at the road and started driving. I wonder where all her bodyguards who are always fucking her with their eyes are. They have never stopped looking at her whenever she is around, okay, that according to Brian. I also noticed that the first time I can here. They would be looking at her as if they wanted a piece of her. They never stop at anything. I hope she has never slept with any of them.  

I thought she was going to start a conversation but she doesn't, instead, she drive us straight ahead. Some small raindrops were already filling the screen I feared it is going to storm up. 

             Did you pick the kids from school?

I wanted to be sure that they were safe. Those are my favourite human being but turns out I am not their favourite it's either Rose who is always by them or Davids who spoils them with everything that they want. 

"They are already in the house, just picking Noelle from her daily practice, plus she will be having a game at school on Saturday, I know she is supposed to tell you that."

              She did, I will be attending, what about you?

I wanted us to have a conversation and not some silent moment of not talking. The kids adore her and I didn't want them to miss her in the match. 

"I dont want her to be mad at me for not attending, so I promised to attend with a packet of glucose and energy drink to give her more energy to play."

How did you know she lives glucose while playing?

Noelle loved taking glucose after every break and would prefer it over anything. I just hope she had not been revealing everything to Davids here because I don't know how much can say and what she can't say.

We arrived at Noelle's practising area and she was just done with her practice. She was reading a book. There was a boy next to her sitting a centimetre away from her.

                      "Jeez, not him again."

Did Davids know the boy? Why was she saying not him again? When the car was packed, Davids quickly unbuckled her safety belt but I held her hands from going her. 

It's Noelle, she always knows what to say. Plums they are kids what will possibly go wrong?

She sighed and sat back in the car watching the two talk. Davids was now irritated and honked the car. Noelle looked in our direction and bid her friend goodbye running to our car.

"Hi, uncle, sorry about that, I didn't know you were already here." 

Noelle was apologising to Davids for not seeing her, that's new. They never did this. They just waited until I get to the office to ask the principal to look for them.

Davids smiled at her and kissed her on her forehead. 

"Get in, not there, back."

"Why? You never drove anyone when you come to pick me up? Plus you know that I love the front seat."

How much has she spoiled these kids? They always sat behind the car and not in front!

             Just listen to your elders, Nimo!

"Mum, what are you doing here? I thought you had classes, please tell me you are going to spend a night with us."

Ooh, so you know that I am here? I thought you didn't see me, you can't even say morning or evening?

                 "Sorry, Good evening mama?"
