Fall For Me

She certainly couldn’t stop smiling even after the journey back home wasn’t a pleasant one, She was relieved after her sister and her ex-boyfriend Steven caused a scene and ended up cutting the lunch short, of course, she was uncomfortable ever since Andrew arrived, but she didn’t mind stealing glimpses at him, she could feel his stare fixated on her body and she didn’t know how to react about it.

She didn’t know why everyone was so pressed about her finding a job, She didn’t want to bring anything up just yet but here they were talking about resumes she thought to herself, It was time to leave and she was hoping she could get an alone time with Andrew, just for a quick chat but they were heading towards the car and her parents were both there, She was too shy to say anything so she just kept walking, But she heard a masculine voice which was very familiar calling her.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She couldn’t express how relieved she was that he felt the same about having a chat, she could feel her palm generating sweat, she was too nervous to make a proper reaction, she turned around and saw him heading towards her and all of a sudden her heart raced twice as fast as before, She took time to study him and he was a dashing young man, Then she put up a smile on her face and when then he started to talk, He spoke about going on a date with her when he uttered those words she couldn’t believe it, Wad he asking her out on a date? It all felt unreal, she believed that any moment now her heart would burst into flames, She wanted to reply but words failed her, oh how she wanted to say yes but she just couldn’t then she heard Gwen’s voice calling onto her she wasn’t particularly happy but she was relieved that she wouldn’t have to face him anymore, she hurried to the car and she finally let out a sigh of relief

Mrs. John was quite curious “What exactly could you too have been talking about” and now everyone’s eyes turned to meet that of Valerie’s, She could only smile and shy away from the question but Gwen made sure she teased her “Ouuuu Valerie has got a boyfriend” they were all laughing then suddenly as if Mr. John was hit by a wave of memories he retorted “And you Gwen, what did I say about being the best version of ourselves today?” Gwen didn’t feel any remorse for how she ruined the day and she said “Well Daddy he started it, I couldn’t stay in that toxic environment any longer”

Well, Mr. John loves his girls so much I mean he doesn’t do anything contrary to their happiness but regardless he was so annoyed about how Gwen handled the situation he knew she was immature but she could’ve behaved better, he didn’t want to make a mess of a situation again so he just let it go and he asked Valerie “so what’s the news?” Everyone knew she had something for him, it was obvious and glaring enough. She couldn’t stand their eyes on her so she had to just come out clean I mean they’ll find out sooner or later “Well it was nothing serious, he just asked if he could take me out on a date sometime” and everyone’s eyes widened, Carmen said “so what did you tell him” then she remembered she hasn’t given him a reply yet, he texted her after she failed to give him one immediately, she wanted to go on a date with him but she wasn’t sure it was a good idea, Carmen pressured her “so it’s a yes then”

Carmen is the oldest sister, she’s tall, beautiful with a short bob black hair, she doesn’t talk much but that wasn’t always the case, she was a bubbly young girl before something tragic happened, she fell in love with a guy and they knew it was end game.

They tied the knot and it was heaven on earth for a year, their lives were going great until one day she waited for him to her back from work, she was already worried and calling him severally soon enough she got a call from the hospital and they told her to rush down to the hospital, her number was in the emergency contacts of his phone and that day her life changed forever.

He was coming back from work and he got into an accident resulting to him losing his life, her life took a drastic change and she couldn’t cope with the hurt and had to move into her parent’s house.

Valerie stayed at the text message that read “I didn’t get a reply, so Sunday I’ll come pick you up?” She summoned the courage and texted back ‘Sure’ she couldn’t even try to hide her excitement, when they arrived she dashed into the house and went straight to her room to replay the day in her head, Her dad went upstairs to her room and knocked on her door, she said softly “yes come in” and he opened the door and said “don’t forget what we spoke about” of course, she almost forgot but she’ll only be able to concentrate on turning in her resume when she gets back from the date and it was on Sunday.

It was only a 48 hours wait for no one will get mad she thought to herself so with a smile on her face she told her dad “sure daddy I won’t forget”

Finally the day she has been waiting for finally came, she wore a ruby colored dress that looked stunning on her, she got ready and finally got her text from Andrew ” I’m here I’ll be in soon” she could feel the rush and she tried to remain calm she walked downstairs and heard a knock on the door, Mrs John was the one that opened the door and soon after her family members gathered around in the room, they all said their goodbyes and Mr John warned Andrew to treat his baby girl right and he assured them he’ll be responsible for her tonight.

Andrew and Valerie walked out the door together, he opened up the car door and got right in, the drive to the restaurant was a bit awkward as neither of them knew what to say to the other, finally they got to the restaurant it was a decent restaurant and not too far from her house, she had only been to the restaurant once as she the prices in Abnor’s restaurant was too high, they couldn’t afford it all the time, he got down and opened the car door for her, he held her hand and asked “shall we”, what a gentleman she thought to herself, they got down and walked into the entrance of the restaurant but as walked alongside Andrew, A man bumped into her and Andrew quickly said “hey watch were you’re going” he stopped and turned……..
