Chapter 29
She yawned, obviously awake. She raised up her head and looked at every one of them. She was about placing her head back on the table when Ethan quickly held her.
He made her stand on her feet and then started leading her to the door. She looks more like a drunk person.
“I’m gonna take her to her room,” Ethan said and Irish nodded. She opened the fridge and saw cakes on display.
“I want the strawberry flavor, cut a slice of chocolate flavor for my dad and i hope there’s vanilla flavor there, for you” Arin said.
“Yes” Irish smiled.
Arin picked out three dishes and handed it to Irish
“Ohh… thank you” Irish said, she picked the knife that was already beside the cakes.
She cut out a slice each from the three flavors. “I want two slices” Arin said.
“Okay” Irish said and cut one more slice for Arin.
She brought out a cranberry juice afterwards with three glass cups. “Dad is gonna take wine” Arin said.
“Alright, which of them?” Irish asked.
“1945 chateau moutson-rothschild” Arin said and Irish was impressed. She knew her father’s favorite wine.
“It’s always in the freezer though, not the fridge” Arin said placing the glass cups in a tray. “Ohh.. okay” Irish said.
She closed the fridge and moved to the freezer.
Irish and Arin sat in front of the fireplace waiting for Ethan.
The cakes, juice, wine and glass cups were placed in front of them.
Irish smiled enjoying fireplace view. So beautiful.
“Do you enjoy staring at the fireplace that much?” Arin asked her.
“Yes”
“Why?” Arin asked.
“I just love it, doesn’t it look magical to you?” Irish asked. “No, it’s just a normal burning fire to me” Arin said.
“Sorry for keeping you waiting” Ethan finally walked in, making his presence known.
He had stood by the door for minutes watching the back view of his daughter and her nanny, though he had concentrated more on Irish’s back.
He loved how his robe looked on her, even if it trailed behind her like a wedding gown, it still looked so good on her.
“Finally you’re here” Arin said.
“Wow!” Ethan exclaimed, sighting the cake and his favorite wine. He quickly sat down on the left side of Arin, Irish was on the right.
“I had to make sure Gabrielle is asleep, you know she can just get up and go back to the kitchen to continue her sleep” Ethan said.
“True” Arin laughed, cutting into her cake with a fork.
Ethan poured himself some wine before eating the cake.
They ate and drank in silence, all staring at the fireplace and by the time they were done eating Arin and Irish were already feeling sleepy.
Ethan returned the dishes to the kitchen and washed them.
when he returned to the library, he found them laying beside each other, asleep.
The way Irish held Arin in her arms while they sleep, one would think she was protecting her daughter.
She would be so perfect as a mother.
She’s not one yet but anyone would think she is whenever she’s with Arin
Ethan walked into his room and picked his blanket from his bed, he covered them both with it. He added more woods in the fire and then sat, staring at them.
He smiled, these two are just so beautiful and adorable, even in their sleep. Is he still going to deny the fact that he really admire Irish?
**Morning**
“Arin get up. It’s late already” Irish said, staring at the wall clock in the library as she tapped Arin gently.
Looks like they both fell asleep here, she wondered where Ethan was and why he didn’t wake them.
Arin stirred awake, yawning loudly.
“Get up Arin, let’s go get you ready for school. There’s no much time left” Irish said getting up on her feet.
She pulled Arin with her and they both walked out of the library.

“Bye mum” Arusha pecked his mum.
He already got ready for school and he has helped her prepare her breakfast and lunch and he made sure everything she’ll be needing is close to her.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Bye Arusha” Mrs Helen smiled.
He waved before walking out of her room and then to the door. He got outside and gently closed the door behind him.
He rushed to the bus station and luckily for him, he caught a bus.
All attention was on him as he walked in, most of the passengers were students and just few were from his school.
The girls stylishly cleared the seat beside them for him while the guys stare daggers at him. It’s not surprising, he always get that reaction.
He took an empty seat at the back and then stared out of the window as the bus moved.
He missed Irish, so much.
He can’t wait for weekend, he’s already saving chocolate chip cookies for her, he had planned to visit her in California by weekend.
He smiled knowing she’ll be so excited.
“Hey” he heard a feminine voice said. Girls always “hey” him every time. “Hi” He said turning to the girl.
She’s pretty with soft brown eyes, high cheekbones and a proud nose, her blonde hair fell down her shoulders and her small lips were in a smile.
From her uniform, he could tell she wasn’t a student of their school.
“I’m Mil” she said.
“Arusha” He said, licking his lips and the girl almost went crazy. “Can i touch you?” She asked and Arusha smiled.
“Oh.. my, your smile is making my broken heart come back together” The girl said and Arusha laughed.
“Please make me yours already” Mil said, falling completely for him. Arusha is not surprised, it happens all the time.
“Mil!” A guy suddenly shouted, he was in mil’s uniform.
He approached the both of them at the back seat with tightened fist. Everyone turned to them expectantly.
“She’s my girlfriend! Stay away from her or i will make your face a punching bag” The guy threatened.
“You’re not my boyfriend Allen! We broke up already” Mil shouted.
“You broke up with me just now that this thing entered the bus. If he doesn’t get up beside you now, i swear I’ll beat him up” The guy said angrily.
“You’ll beat me up?”Arusha laughed.
“I swear I’ll make you lick your ass! ” Arusha said calmly, winning the girls heart more. “Ohh… really? Really? You this nincompoop! really?” Allen said.
“Just shut up already, am not to blame that you share resemblance with a monkey”Arusha said and stood up, leaving Allen speechless.
Laughter erupted in the bus and Arusha walked to the door. He’s going to alight in the next bus stop.
He walked into his class and gazes fall on him as usual. Sometimes he just get fed up with the whole thing.
He replied to the “hi’s” and “hey’s” from the girls as he walked to his seat. He sat down and dropped his backpack.
Opening his locker, love letters poured out. “Not again!” He groaned.
It’s lunch time and Dozens of girls offered to buy him lunch.
Most of them give themselves freely to him and some would just plead to kiss him.
It’s just so crazy.
He had no male friend, the guys in the school hated him cause he has the girls attention the most.
Sometimes, he wished all the attention he’s always getting would just stop and sometimes he’ll wish it never stops.
School’s over and Arusha quickly picked his backpack and sneaked out.
He doesn’t want any girl to follow him home, he wants to spend enough time with his Mum.
He got to the gate and the gatekeeper opened it for him. He stepped out and sighed in relief that none of the girls had seen him.
“Hey Arusha” he heard as he started walking to catch a bus. It was no feminine voice, it’s definitely a male voice.
He turned and saw the man, he’s a huge man clad in a black suit, black eye glass and bald head.
But how did he know his name?
“What?” Arusha asked.
“Would you like to come with me?” The man asked. “No!” Arusha replied bluntly and started walking away.
“It’s about your sister” The man said and that made Arusha stop. “My sister is not even here, so what do you about her?”
“I know, she’s in California?”
He stared back to the man almost immediately.
“So would you like to come with me now?” The man repeated and Arusha nodded. TBC.
