Pull Me Back To You

CHAPTER-12

"Get up sleeping beauty" I shake this handsome beast laying on the bed.

"Just give me 5 minutes" he groaned and covered his face with a pillow.

"I give you 40 minutes to  get up and take a shower. If you are any late than that I'll leave for the book store and you'll have to make the pancakes yourself. " I declared and went to the living room without giving him any time to argue.

The store is closed today just like every other Sunday but Darius promised to take me out today and I am not letting him get out of it this time.

Turning on the TV, I switched it to Disney. Yesterday we saw Darius's favorite movie on Disney, finding Nemo. Ever since Disney is my favorite chanel.

A cool chick with platinum blonde hair was freezing things so I thought that that's the best I can watch.
The volume was low however so I picked up the remote. Instead of increasing the volume I changed the chanel. I groaned frustrated.

A woman probably in her mid thirties was shouting something with a mic in her hands. She was standing outside of what seemed to be a hospital.

Coming to the hot news of today. Rider Knight seemed to get attacked yesterday. His recovery is alarmingly slow and unconfirmed.

The scene changes to a loop of an unconscious man with blood all around him getting picked up and being placed in an ambulance. Due to the blood his face seemed unrecognisable. Somehow my stomach churned at the scene and I started feeling paranoid.

Last night Mr Rider was last seen leaving his work. His body was found next to his car on the Northern Hamilton road.
There seems be bullet marks on his car's tyres. Surely enough he was attacked by a group of people. He has a few fractures and a bullet wound.

A picture of a man flashed on the screen as the hair on the back of my neck stood up. It was my father.

The attack further confirms our doubts of the connection of Ryder family with mafia. First Mr Knight's daughter went missing and now he was attacked. I'll now hand it over to Mr Osborne who will elaborate the matter further.

"Are you in the living room? " Shouted Darius and I quickly turned off the television.

"Come on, I am starving" Came the not so innocent voice from behind me.

Making breakfast for Darius, I sat next to  him as he devoured the delicious spaghetti I made.

"It's delicious"

"Obviously, I made it. " I said smugly watching him make a puking face. "I don't have to go to the store today. It's an off" I told him wanting to watch a betrayed look on his face.

Instead there was no expression from him..

"I know. It's a Sunday" He said like it was something of a basic IQ I didn't understand.

"But then why would you wake up when I blackmailed you? " I questioned, seriously puzzled by this. Darius never wakes up on time unless I have some serious blackmailing at the back of my hand.

"I didn't wanted to waste today" He grinned finally looking up.  "I have something planned" He declared proudly.

Astonished I asked him what it was.

"Just get ready and I am taking you somewhere." Just with that, I ran to my room to get fully dressed.

The day didn't turn out to be how I exactly planned however I must say Darius did put in efforts. He took me shopping and we were there for about 3-4 hours. We went to the bowling alley and enjoyed. When we were finally sitting in his car we drove off to home. Only for me to realise he had more in his mind. He dropped me at a saloon for getting treated as he quoted. Now after spending the whole day outside I was finally picked up by Darius who was here to take me home.
