Unkept Secrets

Mysterious Call - Chapter 7

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good day good people of Wattpad and beyond :3 How are we all? That was a rhetorical question but you can still answer if you like :) It’s raining today so I could do with some cuddles and a nice warm tea but being single cuddles can’t really happen D: All I need is my laptop though and some inspiration and I can write the day away in black and white.

Enough blabbering Michael nobody wants to hear you talk >_> Continue reading dear ignore my weird personality. I shall see you next chapter :D

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dwayne’s POV ~

I hear the sound of the running water coming from the bathroom and look at the clock realizing Michael’s been in there for over an hour and still not out yet. I decide to investigate and see just what he’s up to. I make my way into the hallway and knock on the bathroom.

“I thought you said you were having a quick shower? An hour is hardly quick in my opinion babe” I say with my forehead pressed against the door.

Michael doesn’t reply so I try again.

“Michael you’re not singing like a dying cat, surely you can hear me?” I ask

I begin to turn the handle to see if something was wrong because he still wasn’t replying.

“Hello? Michael why aren’t you-“I pause to see an empty shower with the water running still.

I look around to see none of Michael’s clothes on the counter or any sign of him being here at all. I walk over to the shower turning off the water and make my way out to the lounge room to wait and see if he went out. Ten more minutes pass and he’s still not home.

Michael’s POV ~

“What do you think he meant by this isn’t over yet pretty boy?” I ask as Heather offers to drive us back home.

“I honestly don’t know, but if he tries anymore of his shit, He’ll have me to deal with” Heather replies with a smile.

“I know but you’re going to London tomorrow, what is he does something while you’re away? He won’t exactly hurt Dwayne because he wants to take him away from me”

“Look all I know is you shouldn’t worry about some low life dead beat, just be happy with Dwayne and if anything bad starts to happen, then start to worry okay?” Heather says hoping in the driver’s seat.

“Shit, we’ve been gone for over an hour, Dwayne’s gonna know something’s up” I say looking at the time on my watch.

After some very aggressive driving and a few hand gestures, my lovely, sweet best friend managed to get us home in less than 10 minutes throw a decent flow of traffic. We make our way up the stair well until we reach our door. We make our way inside to face a confused looking Dwayne standing in the lounge room doorway with his arms folded.

“Where have you been? I thought you were having a shower and once you took longer than an hour I started to worry then I find out you’re not even there!” Dwayne weeps.

“W-w-we were out of ugh, milk and Heather really wanted a bowl of c-corn flakes really badly so she came and asked me but everywhere was closed and we looked everywhere” I stutter

“It’s New York Michael, nowhere closes here?” Dwayne asks.

“Michael forgot to mention I felt like McDonald’s on the way back, I really wanted a burger and nuggets and I was dying to try their new frappe” Heather cuts in before I could say anything.

“There’s a Macca’s down the street I still don’t get how it took you so long” Dwayne says with a puzzled look.

“Fine. You got me Dwayne. I went over to see James’ to have a go at him for what he did to you and told him to leave you alone. I just don’t want him getting the way of us and our happiness” I say.

“You did what?”  Dwayne’s says as his eyes widen.

“We went and saw James’ and I kicked him in the balls too after he called me fat” Heather adds.

“Michael you shouldn’t have done that, you know what James’ is like, you’re lucky he didn’t hurt you” Dwayne says dropping his arms to come over and hug me.

“I know, but he did say something” I pause to let Dwayne move back.

Dwayne nods his head for me to continue.

“Sorry to butt in but I’m ugh, gonna go to bed, I have to get up early in the morning for the flight, love you two I’ll hopefully see you before I go” Heather says kissing us both on the cheek.

“Night night, sleep well, love you!” I shout as Heather walks to the spare bedroom.

“So what did James’ say to you?” Dwayne asks.

“He said…” I pause getting a slight stutter. “H-he said it’s not over yet” I manage to push out.

“James’ said that to you?” Dwayne asks with a worried look.

“I don’t know if it was a threat or a promise but yeah he said it”

Dwayne pulls me into a tight hug and rubs my back. He looks me in the eye before giving me a kiss on the lips.

“I promise he’s not going to hurt you or us, I won’t let him even have the chance to do it” Dwayne reassures me.

Dwayne gives me another kiss on the lips then grabs my wrist walking me to the bedroom. We hop in either side of the bed and snuggle up next to one another as Dwayne kisses the back of my neck softly before saying goodnight and rolling over to sleep. I toss and turn most of the night unable to sleep with all these thoughts of what James could really do to us to completely ruin us and almost hate each other. I’m still awake when it turns 5am in the morning and Heather’s waking up at 6 so I decide to get up and go watch some early morning TV.

It turns 5:30 so I decide to treat Heather to some pancakes glazed with blueberries and whipped cream before she goes to catch her flight. I mix up a pancake mix and start flipping them away cooking about half a dozen. I grab a glass and fill it with some fresh orange juice and before I have the chance to wake her, Heather comes out wide awake and in a dressing gown.

“So you excited for your trip to London?” I ask her getting myself a glass of juice.

“Super, I haven’t been in forever and I miss Tegan so much!” Heather says finishing her last pancake.

“Did you need me to take you to the airport  or are you gonna catch a cab?”

“Oh mum’s picking me up with my bags and stuff so- Speak of the devil, she’s downstairs waiting for me now” Heather says replying to her mum’s text.

“Awww okay, I’m gonna miss you while you’re gone!” I say running around to give her a hug and kiss on the cheek.

“Same here baby cakes! Stay safe, I’ll skype with you when I’m not busy” She says heading towards the door.

“Love you!” I manage to say before the door closes. “Be safe” I whisper softly making my way to the lounge room.

I sit down to watch the Today show and finish my drink when the phone rings. I run around the kitchen and lounge room trying to find the phone but it goes to answering machine before I get the chance to get it.

“You wanna hope you’re friend has a safe flight on her trip. I’d hate to see anything bad happen to her” A muffed voice says and hangs up.
