Chapter 20 Is he kidding me

Chapter twenty
I look at my legs and a gasp escapes my mouth. What the fuck! I'm wearing no shoes.
God, I was so angry to even notice it. I close my eyes and shake my head before walking in.
Nancy opens the door and stares at me like I'm some sort of alien out to kidnap all the humans on planet earth.
"You are coming from Dave's house, right?"
I shake my head typically and walk to the sofa. I sit and sigh again. I just don't know why all this is happening to me.
Nancy comes to sit beside me. She raises her feet and turns to look at me, "I want the full list of gist"
Should I tell her the truth? That I was kissed again by Dave? Well, that sounds ridiculous. I decided to lie, "Well, I'm not_",I started.
Nancy raises a finger in the air drastically, "Don't give me that shit bae. I want the full gist and the truth. Nothing else but the truth"
I sigh, "Well, Dave drove me to his house and I was drugged. When I woke up, I thought I was in my room but everywhere was so dark and it seemed bigger than my house. Dave came in and, "I stop and sign again. I'm not really good with telling stories and not this kind of story anyway.
"What the fuck happened!"
"Dave kissed me again," I say finally.
Nancy opened her mouth in agape, "What the fuck! You guys kissed again!" She half screamed.
"I was so mad"
"And you didn't kill him?" I could vividly see the smile at the corner of Nancy's face.
I signed again, exasperated," On my way to do that, I did kiss him again", I laughed at my own story.
Nancy also burst out laughing. God, I'm feeling so embarrassed.
Nancy sober, "But why will Dave do something like that again?"
"He said it's fun. The guy plays drastically with all the girls. I'm not surprised. You can't imagine he told his father he has been sleeping with me? And his father sent spies to see if we were sleeping together. I mean having sex," I say the last part lower than a whisper. I don't even know why I feel so worked out.
Nancy laughs again, "What the fuck! Did he say that? I mean that's surprising"
I shrug and think about it too. His father just wants me to be another of his conquests, I think.
"But Bae, why are you so lucky sometimes? I mean what soap did you start using anyways?"
I raise a brow skeptically, "What do you mean?"
Nancy smiles widely, "I mean girls would kill to even hug Dave. I mean how can you be so lucky to kiss him. To kiss Dave Margray. The almighty Dave Margray. You didn't hug him but shared saliva. OMG!"Nancy says incredibly and annoyingly. I mean, what's so special about this. I stand and walk inside, "You need to give me your soap, perhaps I will be kissed by someone famous this week," she says after me before bursting into fresh laughter. I think she's right, somehow. Some girls would do anything just to kiss Margray. The fact that I'm not fascinated by the sight of him, doesn't mean he doesn't have thousands of girls dying to have him. But I'm going to kick his butt the next time I see him.
I enter the room and pick my phone to call Michael.
I dial it and it's not going through. I dial it the second time before giving up. I guess I will just see him tomorrow.
I wake up just two hours later. It took me a while to sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about it all. And how the heck did Michael disappeared beside me?
I chose a blue skirt and a white t-shirt. I wonder if Michael is so angry at me now. I mean he told me to stay away from Dave.
I walk toward Elizabeth, "Good morning dear"
She smiles up at me, "Good morning Jones. How was your night?"
I reciprocated her smile," it was great, "I roll my eyes, mentally thinking of what had happened," it was great. How was yours?"
"Fine dear. Oh, Mr. Michael has been expecting you"
I nod once before walking toward Michael's door. My heartbeat increases at the thought of seeing Michael. Well, I've been crushing on Michael since high school. At that time, he does always come to our school for I don't-know reason. Those days, I do pray to be able to work for him soon. But then his criteria were too high for me so I didn't bother to apply.
I stop at the door briefly and take a deep soothing breath before knocking, "It's Jones"
There was a short silence, "Come in"
I steady my breathing before opening the door and walking in. When he heard me walk in, he look up from the desk. Even his hair sparkles and his eyes. Wait, how can someone be so handsome?
"Good morning sir"
Michael smiles, finally sitting up," Good morning. How was your night?"
I suck in-breath" Bad but it's under control"
He gathers some wrinkles and gives me a worried look ," What happened?"He stands and walks to me, then stops to lean on the table. My heartbeat accelerated at his closeness. How can I react so much? What if we kiss? I look away, blushing.
"Why are you blushing? You look cute that way," he says. What! Does he think I'm cute? I feel butterflies rise in me and goosebumps everywhere.
"I didn't mean to follow Dave but he told me we were being watched. So, there was nothing I could do. I tried your number but it wasn't accessible and it got me worried".
A soft substance suddenly touch my cheek, tilting my head up. I discover it's Michael's hand on my face. The place burns at his touch and I smile nervously.
" I knew and I saw the spy Mr. Richard sent. That was why I excused myself. You don't need to explain that but,"he let go of me and look all over me for something. The place he touched earlier went cold, somehow missing his touch on it," Hope he didn't do anything stupid to you?".
Gosh, how would I tell him I was kissed twice?
I shake my head negatively instead," I'm fine," I say with a smile
He stares at me much longer. I'm looking at him too,at his face,at his incredibly shaped face. He looks so handsome. If there's another word to qualify it,I will use it. He suddenly tilt his head in and my heart skip at the move. Wait, what is he about to do? He's moving closer to me when the phone suddenly rings, interrupting us. Michael goes to pick the call while I release the breath I didn't even know I was holding.
"Yes Elizabeth, tell them to enter. I'm very much free now," I can hear him say before dropping the call. He looks my way with a smile," I have an appointment now. Can we talk after I'm done?"
Talk about what?
I nod instead," Right sir," I say nervously before walking out. I stop briefly and place a hand over my chest to stabilize my breathing. What exactly was about to happen there if the call hadn't come through? Wait, was he trying to kiss me?
God! I can't believe that. Somehow, I mentally curse Elizabeth. I mean I shouldn't,she's even nice unlike Kim but I can't help it in this kind of situation.
I force myself to walk to my desk, with lots of thoughts cuddle up in me in some sort of crazy confusion. This is just the second week. How can I get Sam out of the town so he can start schooling again?I seriously need to talk it out with mom. Maybe mom should follow him. Yeah, that will be better. I will just give them the remaining dollars Dave gave mom that day. Then mom can start a trade when I get my first salary.
My phone rings suddenly,it's noise startling me for a while. I take it,press the receiver's button ,and ease it closer to my ear," Hi"
"Are you hungry? Why do you sound like some sort of beggar"
I sigh noisily. Dave Margray
"I swear,I'm going to kill you right now," I say between my teeth," Why the heck are you calling me? And why are you even having my number?"
He laughs," I have my way young lady. I thought you were dead. I needed to confirm since you said your ghost would haunt me for eternity"
I smile at the statement," What the fuck do you want!"i I say instead, half screaming.
"Easy girl, stop cursing".
Is he seriously kidding me?
" I will hang up if you don't say anything sensible"
"I call to tell you that you forgot your shoe. If you don't come and get it,I will throw it out"
I shake my head. How the heck did I forget my shoes? I don't believe I will be going back to that house because of my shoe. This is so annoying," Why the heck do I have to come!"
"You should be thankful I didn't decide to burn it instead but I will do that tomorrow."
I hiss," Just make sure you drop it for whosoever is at home because I can come at anytime"
"I have it in control, you don't need to worry"
I drop the phone and sigh again for the umpteenth time that day.
Should I go back for the shoe? Definitely yes! The shoe is the new one I brought not quite long. I can't afford to discard it. I need to get my shoe. But I don't want to see the stupid face of Dave.
Wait a moment, Margray would be at work right now. So,I should go now. That way,I will be able to avoid him…
Nice idea. What about Michael? Should I tell him I'm going to Dave's house? No, it doesn't even make any sense.
I walk to Elizabeth," Hi, can you please fill in for me until I'm back?"
She smiles," it's alright.". Nice one,I love this lady.
I smile before dashing out. Dave will be at work. So,it's the perfect time to go get my shoes. I don't ever want to set my eyes on him again.
I wave for the cab to stop. It pull to a stop and I hop in. I take my phone to text Michael but decide against it again. I will be back before he even realizes I was gone.
I get down before Daves's house and my mouth suddenly went wide in shock. I didn't notice the outer decorations very well yesterday. With a cream colour and flowers to decorate the tips of the fence, it makes the whole place look like a palace.
I take a deep breath, adding the house to my wishlist. Perhaps I will be chanced to own a house like this one in the future.
I press the sound button and wait. After some seconds, the gate opens automatically. Surprise, i walk in and look back at the gate closing by itself. This is so amazing. I pray I'm able to get a house like this soon.
I walk to the front door and knock slightly," Hello,it's Jones". I say, expecting the other lady I saw that day to come out but instead, the door opens again. Gosh,I wonder the amount of money they used on this house. The house is so beautiful by the way. The daylights make the colour come out well.
"I thought you came to collect your shoes," a voice says suddenly, startling me. I look up at Dave. He's sitting on the chair, with his laptop placed on his lap.
Wait! This guy is supposed to be at work. How come he is home?
