CHAPTER 14

Alex’s POV

Getting home by 7:00pm I collapsed on a sofa with a sigh…actually I didn’t come directly from school, I had to go to a Le ferries clubhouse with Joe, gabby and Lana..
having just a bottle of stout and covering up all traces with two mints to avoid nanny Letitia’s questions and reprimand then letting Gabriella grab me to the washroom for a quickie…I think a shot or two then minutes of long k-ssing before I k-ssed her goodbye and left without informing the others..
I smiled..
tonight was good though and fun as well…Gabriella really was one bad ass..
And honestly I can’t believe we ain’t dating..in fact it’s been quite a while since I got into the dating stuff with a girl..Gabriela was more like a playmate..clearly I can’t remember asking her to be my girlfriend..
Oww..
quite shocking right..
well it’s true..Gabriella and I aren’t dating neither are we an ‘item’.

Gabby just happens to have this uncontrollable die-hærd crush for me right from college..she follows me almost everywhere and acts like my girlfriend even tho it was kinda frustrating I let it go and most time she literally beg me to date her but I just couldn’t..my heart doesn’t seem to accept her.
no matter how sed-cing and Flirty she can be I always pointedly told her that I don’t love her..i mean I do but not the way she wants me to, I only see her as a close friend.
but gabby wanted more..
it got to a stage that she practically started sed-cing me and rolling my tie round her index finger when we were alone in my quarters and pleading with me to love her..

no offence taken tho but no matter how I try to admit it to her that it doesn’t work that way she fails to understand ..and if I try to act like I love her without meaning it, it might lead to heartbreak and she’d be the victim..I’m doing it all for her good but she doesn’t want it that way..
then one day gabby popped into my quarters one morning after music lectures and told me she had a package for me and then forced me to go with her to her quarters..we got there and she started acting strange..she confessed how much she loved me like I’ve never heard of it before, she talked about how she wanted me and all those sinful words..but I refused to heed and warned her never to try such again..she suddenly grabbed me and told me not to love her if I don’t want to but use her as I want..i was completely dazzled, I couldn’t believe gabby could be this cheap..I mean i had so much respect for her back then in school coz she was super smart and brilliant and I just couldn’t understand why she had to feel this way for me, there were tons of guys who would do some weird things to have her coz she was undeniably beautiful and popular coz her dad owns a famous music school..I couldn’t believe Gabriella Mona Sheppard could act so cheap.
I told her she was crazy but she stripped right in front of me and that instant I lost control of my being..she started unbuttoning my shirt and right there we ended up having it right in her office..
and since after that day we kept it up I simply assumed it was for the fun so I played along each time she presented herself.
“Yay! uncle Alex’s home granny” I heard Joanne little voice and I jerk back from Alex land to reality.
“Hey there cupcake!” I said as she ran into my arms..I sat her on my laps and smiled. “How’s my beauty kiddo doing?” I asked after giving her a slight peck..
“Great..” she pouted “I waited all afternoon for you…I thought you weren’t gonna come home today” she said and I ruffled her hair..
“Well I did OK..that’s what matters now, sorry I had to keep my cuppy waiting” I said and she blushed..
“Well it’s OK but granny was really worried” she said “she thought you got abducted” she whispered to my ear and I laughed..

“No granny is..
my voice trailed off when I saw nanny Letitia standing right in front of me with an intent frown…those looks that i so well understood.
I twitched my l-ips as I gave her an apologetic look.
“look nanny I’m really sorry I didn’t call..I had to practice more at school, we’re having a-a um concert and I’ll be performing so I had to rehearse” I said with a sorry look.
“I was damn worried Alex, I feared something had happened..I was about calling your parent to ask of you..” she said.
“Thank God you didn’t” I sighed.
“Don’t try that again..it’s not cool to stay out this late without informing me” she said..

oh no..just what I was avoiding..some motherly over concerning look.
“yeah nans…I’m sorry” I said.
“it’s okay..” she smiled “I made zucchini for dinner..is that okay?” she asked.
“sure..I’d just shower first” I said..
“Uncle Alex did you get me socks?” Joanne suddenly asked and I faced her.
“No..
I was about saying when she pulled out a pair of socks from my br-ast pocket.
really..
I totally forgot to dispose that..ugh!
“Yay..it’s yellow! my favorite color” she said.
“Um actually Anne they’re not yours” I said.
she frowned..
“But they’re little..like my size or are they your’s?” she asked sarcastically and I shook my head.
“they’re not mine either” I said.
“So who’s are they?” she asked.
“Well they’re..
geez thinking about it alone made me smile..I mean the wh0le event at school..and that purple haired girl slapping me with these socks..but seriously come to think of it I never thought she’d actually follow my dumb advice..

she’s one hell of a desperate chick..tell her one stupid dumb thing today and she acts all bossy and adamant then end up doing it the next day..
her types weren’t so rare though…
I remembered how hærd I laughed and couldn’t concentrate properly at work..it was just so hilarious.
I felt a small hand tugging at my shirt..
“What’s funny uncle?” I heard Anne’s voice and I looked at her.
“Nothing..why?”
“because you were laughing..is my question funny?”
“no cupcake..I just remembered something that was quite funny..I’m sorry” I said..
“So the socks..
“oh..it’s yours now honey pie”
“Yay..I’ve got new sock, thanks uncle Alex” she happily said and wrapped her arm around my neck..

I laughed and ruffled her hair..
“Anything for you sweet” I said and she pulled away..”so let’s go do today’s duty before dinner” I said standing up and lifting her in my arm..
“I waited so much for you so I did it all when I did it all by myself” she said “Are you mad at me?”
I smiled.
“No, I’m not hon…I’ll just check if you’ve really done everything today” I said “homework?”
“check!” she said with thumb up..
“Hmm…drawings?”
“check!”
“colors packing?”
“check!”
“ch¡ps order?”
“check! granny helped me with that”
“shoe dusting?”
“check!”
“Exercise?”
“check!”

“You did so much without me…lunch?”
“check and I also helped granny with the dishes”
“Reading?”
“oh..um I think I forgot that one” she said..
“so there’s one more thing that’s undone on the list then…I’ll have a shower first and we’ll have dinner then read about um..
“Snow white!” she yelled.
“oh..OK..snow white it is then..I’ll have a quick shower first OK?” I said and she nodded..
I put her down..k-ssed her on her forehead then went to my room to shower and get off this clutchy shirt..

CHAPTER 15

Alex’s POV

Getting up with full energy the next morning, I walked up to the little gym in my room and did a bit of weight lifting…I climbed off the two metals and went to the bathroom…I had a quick brush and bath then pulled into my bathrobe, I sat on the dressing table and ran a comb through my hair then straightened it a bit with the dryer.
I heard a light knock.
“come in..it’s open!” I said and the door pulled open..

nanny Letitia came in with a tray..on it was a saucer and a cup steaming with coffee, a small plate was beside it with four bread slices and a bottle of jam then a glass of water..
“Morning young master” she greeted.
“Alex, nanny Letitia how many times do I have to tell you?”
“I’m sorry..it’s just that sometimes I forget easily”
Old age tho…and moreover it’s really wrong for someone old enough to be my grandma to call me master..
it’s just isn’t my taste.
“it’s okay…but I don’t want you calling me young master..okay?” I asked.
“Yes Alex” she said and I smiled.
“much better” I said then checked out my hair on the mirror..
“I presumed you’d prefer having breakfast here today” she said and put down the tray on a little table then drew the sofa closer to it…
“Where’s Joanne?” I asked.
“Her mom picked her up this morning” she said “oh and she asked to give you this” she said and dipped her hand in the pocket of her apron and pulled out a love card..

I smiled as I remembered how Joanne loves making this a lot….I think she’ll make a good artist..
Even though sometimes it looks meaningless and childish..they meant so much to her..and me.
it was like it has become a routine for her to always leave notes for me each time her mom picks her.
I collected the card from nanny with a smile and shifted the big thick cardboard rose design on it then pulled out the card..

*Sleepy head’ it started and my smile deepened as I read on.
Mom picked me up today against my wish, I wish I could go to school with you but granny insisted I followed mom..too bad I didn’t get to see you either..
might be back today don’t worry about forgiving me coz I’ll get you two chocolate bars ..my Superman..
I love you biggie…Daisy*
I laughed as I dropped the letter on my dressing table..
really..
superman now and biggie..
And in case you’re wondering Daisy is a name I call her when we’re kinda alone and she really loves it a lot.
that’s girl’s something else..she’s a big ball of joy and somehow I’m really fond of her..

she just have this special place in my heart..she lovely, adorable and above all cute.
she smiles a lot and has this pretty little set of white teeth.
I just so much love her..
her dad really doesn’t know what he’s missing.
“One of those many letters huh?”
“Yeah..she’s so adorable” I said.
“you know we had quite a trouble pleading with her to go with her mom..she insisted on seeing you first but her mom didn’t have that much time” nanny said as she applied some jam in the bread then added one on top..
“she really loves you a lot..
“and I love her just as much as she does” I said slowly tapping on the card.
“Any news from her dad?”
she sighed sadly..
“No..at least not yet..it’s really exciting to know that we’re gradually getting over him and Anne doesn’t really ask of him these days”
That ignorant bastard..
“I’ll leave you to eat now yo…Alex! and please call me if you need anything”
“Thanks Letitia but I don’t think I’ll need anything…thanks” I said and she left..

I moved to the little table that had my breakfast and took a bite from the jammed bread..I took a sip from my tea then repeated the process until I finished the meal..I drank some water and got up.
Getting to the closet I pulled out my neatly straightened out v-necked plain white shirt and a thick blue Jean p-nt..I pulled off my bathrobe..pulled into my underwear then wore the clothes on it and put on white sneakers
I closed the closet and walked to my dressing table then applied some body spray..I picked up my bag which had my notes and my flute on the other hand then walked to that living room..
“Nanny I’m off!” I yelled once I got there..
“OK..take care okay?” I heard her voice.
“Yes ma’am” I smiled and walked out..
getting to the garage I dumped my bags on the back seat then moved to the driver’s seat, I ins**ted the key in the ignition and drove to school.

.
I pulled into the parking lot at sheppard’s and moved out then packed my things from the passenger seat..answering greeting from students and fellow staff and sharply pushing back few strands of my hair that fell on my face I moved to the director’s room and signed on my name then put the time below before heading to my office…
Sinking deeper into the swivel cushion chair and dropping the bags on the desk I sighed and rubbed my palms..
I heard a knock..
“Come in” I said and watched as the door pulled in and Jason alongside Terry walked in.
“Hey man” Terry said and I stood up as we all exchanged handshakes.
“Hey dude ‘sup?” I asked with a smile.
“Been good”
“Came to collect the notes and music list for next week’s concert” Jason said .
“Oh sure..but isn’t it too early..we still have like four days to go” I said.
“Know that..but practice makes perfect, the earlier the easier” terry said and I laughed..
“Oh..the rhymes, flow on bro” I said and we laughed.
I unzipped my bag and pulled out the files containing the notes…
“Here…the recorder’s between the notes” I said handing it to Jason.
“Next weeks gonna be a boom!” Terry exclaimed happily..

“Sure will bro”
“Who’s ready to go silly as Billy” Jason said and I laughed.
what a terrible rhymer…
“Get out before you rhyme my head off” I said and smiled.
“Catch’ya later man” Terry said and I gave him a thumb up as they left..
Silly..
Well just in case you’re wondering they’re the two dummies who gives beat to our performances during concerts show..it’d be my turn to perform soon so they came to have the records so they could practice.
They’re really fun to be with though even though most times that get really silly as billy..
ugh..
I can’t believe I’m really falling for and using that lame rhyme..
I sat back on the chair and made to start the day’s work when another knock interrupted..
so much for a morning.
“Co…

I was about saying when the door pulled open and Gabriella walked in..looking stunning as ever..
she wore a short floral pink dress that stopped above her knee exposing her slender legs and a crystal red sledge shoe..her makeup was obviously heavy and her hair was let loose..it fell on her shoulder..
so beautiful and…s€×y!
“Hey sweet” she said as she locked the door behind her..
OK..that was a pretty good sign that something naughty was about to happen.
“Hey babe” I said and she blushed..
one thing about gabby is that her blushes had no limit especially when I happen to be the complimenter..
if that’s a word.
“I saw you drive in..
“Just got in two minutes ago..I had to sign in first” I said..
“I waited so much..I almost drove to your house before I saw you come in” she said.
“Why?”

“Coz I missed you so much” she said.
huh..
but we just saw each other last night..
“Missed you too babe” I said..
“Really..?”
“Yes”
“Then prove it” she said and cat walked behind the table to me.
“How?” I asked even though I already knew.
“You want me to show you” she said sed-ctively and moved her l-ips on mine..giving me a w-t k-ss..
her hand slowly moved under my shirt and tickled my chest..
“This way..make love to me, right here” she said and I smiled.
“But I..
she placed a hand on my l-ips..making me go dumb..extremely dumb.
“No buts sugar pie..just do it” she said softly and I smiled..
“As you wish ma’am”
OK..today just got better..
and…bad!!
