☔Episode 15(b)☔

Penny’s POV:😃

I turn shift in my sleep and slowly open my eyes.

Wait, it is a dream.

I winched and sat back on the bed. It looked so real, so f**king real.

I suddenly got panic, where is Chris? I jump down from the bed and rushed out of the room.

“Chris! Chris! Chris!!” I shouted, where has he gone to?
Where is my baby?

I silently pray, pray that this is dome game.

“Chris!”

“In here mommy.” I heard his voice from a room and I stopped only track.

I slowly pushed the door open and saw him holding a picture.

“You’re not supposed to be here baby.” I said, walking closer to him.

He shrugged and placed back the picture in,side the drawer.

“Whose picture is that?” I asked him.

“It is Arley’s mom,” he replied.

Bryce’s wife?

I picked up the picture and my mouth dropped opened.

No wonder she is a model, she is drop dead gorgeous.

A curvy queen.

Looking at her picture I started feeling self conscious.

If his wife is as beautiful as this then he won’t even look at me like that.
I huffed and drop the picture.

As if I want him to look at me.

I glanced around the room and my mouth dropped opened.

There was a huge portrait of Zendaya on the wall, including that of Bryce. And also a family picture of her, Bryce and Arley.

They look cute together.

He must be Bryce’s room, it was painted all white.

I must say that this room is as big as my apartment. Why the f**k does she and his wife need some much big rooms for?

“Come baby, this is someone’s matrimonial room. Let’s go.” I said and grab his hand.

We walk out of the room and just then Arley and Faith climb upstairs.

“You’re back.” I smiled sweetly at her and kiseex her on both cheeks.

She giggled and nods her head.

“I went to the cafe today but later remember that you weren’t there.” She said sadly and I nodded.

I’m in pain as well, baking is not my profession but I must say. This past few weeks that I engage in baking shortcakes, making Doughnuts and co…..I fell in love with it.

“Don’t worry baby girl, I’ll go to the cafe tomorrow and make you something delicious.” I promised her.

“Pinky promise?”

“I pinky promise.” She brought out her pinky finger and I did mine.

She laughed and skipped off to her room.

“I’ll go and make her some tea,” Faith said and off she goes.

**********

I picked up my phone from the couch and dialed Maggie’s number.

📲Penny where have you been? I went to your apartment but couldn’t find you.” Her voice boomed from the other side.

📲I was evicted by my landlord,I’m sorry I just don’t want to disturb you and your boyfriend.” I said and she hissed.

“That is a ridiculous reason Penny, what if you got yourself or Christian in trouble? Where are you by the way?” She asked.

Now which of this questions are going to be answered first?

📲 I am fine Maggie, and I’m staying at Bryce King mansion.” I replied and await her interrogation once more.

📲Bryce King! Girl you…..you are a p**sy.”

Well, I’ll forgive that.

📲I will be at the cafe tomorrow, tell Ana that I said hello.” I said and hanged up before she could say another word.

I give out a sign of relief and walk out of the room.

It is late already and he us not back. I walk out of the balcony and stare down, glancing around the compound.

Bryce’s POV:

I drove out of the underground garage, my eyelid itching me.

I stopped a little bit beside the road side as Zendaya’s picture showed at the billboard.

Her body glowing radiantly as she pose for the picture.

I miss you Zen, when will you be back?

I t-rn on the ignition and continue driving.

After driving for one hour, I drove in,side my underground garage and parked the car.

I climb the stairs calmly, my heart beating rapidly.

I walk in,side my room and remove my suit jacket, I started undoing my shirt after which I threw it on the bed.

I opened the drawer and got faced with Zen picture.

I picked it up and car-ss the face.

“I love you.” I whispered and k-ssed it.

A knock came on the door and I dropped the picture on the bed.

“Come in.”

The door was pushed open and Penny walked in.

How did she know my room?
What is she doing here any way.

“You’re back.” She said and smile, I nods and stare at her face.

I don’t know why, I just love staring into her eyes, there is something deep calling for me in her eyes.

Though she smiles every now and then but whenever I look deep into her eyes, they were lonely, cold, helpless whuch made me feel extremely sad.

Why do I feel so bad for her?
I want to help her out of that facade.

“I……would you like some coffee? I just made it.” She said and I nods. She smiled and walked towards me then hand over the coffee mug.

“When you’re through, come downstairs for dinner.”

Why do i feel like she cares about me?

☔Episode 16☔

Penny’s POV:

I’ve got no clothes to wear, even if I take my bath right now. There will be no clothes for neither I not Chris.

What do I do?

Maybe…..maybe I should just go and get some few clothes with the money I have left.

I slipped my legs in,side my sandals and walk out of the room, Chris has grown very accustomed with Arley.

I just felt so bad.

He didn’t go to school while Arley did, he must be feeling down.

It is already very late, I used my phone light and slowly climbing down the stairs.

I need a cup of milk.

I opened the fridge and brought out a can of condensed milk.

“What are you doing here?” A voice asked and I froze.

Bryce.

The light was turned on and I felt him behind me.

I gulped and tightened my hold around the milk.

“I….I came to have this.” I said, trying my best not to look at him.

“Look at me.” He said and I turned around to look at me.

He brought up his hand and release my lip from my teeth.

“Stop biting your l-ips.” He whispered to me.

I shivered and took a step back.

What?

I nods my head and quickly opened the cabinet, I bought out a glass cup and shake in the milk then put some milk and warm water from the Despenser.

“Do you want?” I asked as I offered him one cup.

“Please.” He said and I handed over the cup to him.

I must say, Bryce is a very handsome man.

By far the most handsome I’ve ever seen.
He is pretty decent, took care of his daughter and polite.

He has the potential that most men don’t have.

I sip on my milk and secretly watch him type away on his laptop while sipping his milk.

“Someone will be here tomorrow morning to give your clothes including that of your son.” He said and my eyes w¡dened.

“Really? Did you get my other stuffs as well? Properties?” I asked.

“I got your clothes Miss James, you should be grateful.” He said and I scoffed.

Now we’re back to formality.

“Okay.” I mumbled and rinse my cup from the Washing basin, I retrieve his and did the same thing.

“Good night.” I said and walk out of the kitchen.

Why is he working in,side the kitchen instead of his room?

Maybe he misses his wife.

The thought of that caused my heart to tighten up.

Why? Why don’t I feel so…..not so good about that thought?

I went back to the guest room,Chris was still sleeping.

I removed my sandals and climbing on the bed then closed my eyes.

His face keeps showing when I closed my eyes.
The expression he had on when he released my lip from my teeth.

It was so intense.

Stop thinking too much Penelope, you have Alexander and hehave Zendaya.

I turned to face Chris and k-ssed his forehead.

“Good night baby.” I said and closed my eyes.

********

“Good morning Penny,you got a delivery.” Martha said and opened the door.

“What time is it?” I asked her and yawned.

“7:30.” She replied and I sprung up from the bed.

I pat Chris on the back.

“Wake up baby, it Is time for school.” I said and he opened his eyes.

“Good morning mommy.” He greets.

“Morning baby, stand up. Your clothes are here.” I told him.

I grab the first box from Martha and took it to the closet.

“Please bring the second one.” I shouted for her to.hear.

I’ll be staying here for now, at least.I can take it as my home until I find a place to stay.

THIRTY MINUTES LATER

I grab my bag and Chris hand then walk out of the room.

“I’m off to work.” I told Martha.

“Here, this is Chris portion of food.” She said and handover a lunch box.

“Thank you Martha.” I said and smiled.

“Bye aunt Martha.” Chris said before we walk out.

We board a bus and soon we were at Chris school.

“Study hærd baby, I love you.”

“Love you too mommy.” He replied and walked in,side the school.

I am grateful to God for my son,he is the best anybody could ask for.

Intelligent, smart, truthful, handsome.

Everything about him gives me joy, he is the honey that sweetened my sorrowful heart.

I opened the front door of the cafe and walk in.

“Miss James is finally here.” Maggie said sarcastically. I huffed and peek Ana.

“Good morning.”

“Morning Penny, Maggie told me what happened.” He said and I hummed.

“So how is life with Mr King?” Maggie asked.

“Nosy now aint you?it is still early Maggie.” I shoeed her off and tie my apron around myself.

I’m back to work.
