*********************

I did not know that I had fallen asleep inside Darren's car when he was driving me home.  I was only listening to some of the songs played on the stereo when my eyes became droopy. The last song that I heard before I fell asleep was "What About Love" by Lemar. I remembered I asked him if he likes that song. He replied it was his favorite and he would be happy if anyone could sing it for him. Then, I felt his warm caress as he gently laid my head on his shoulder and smelled his masculine scent as my face was closed to his. 

After a few minutes, "Bubs, we're here", he softly whispered.

I frowned and when I opened my eyes,  Ryle's face was caught before my sight.

"Ryle!", I exclaimed as I stared at him.

"Hey, are you okay Jeyah?", Darren asked me, with his voice a little confused.

I rubbed my eyes and looked intently at him. It was Darren.  I realized we were already at the gate of our house.

"I'm sorry for waking you up Jeyah. I could have just carried you. But I am just worried what could be your brother's impression if he would see me carrying you inside", Darren spoke.

"Uhm, it's okay bubs. Thanks for driving me home", I responded and grabbed my bag, ready to go out.

"No, let me do it for you bubs", he said as he went out and opened the door for me.

He reached his hand to me, and again I felt the tingle shivering down my spine when his palm touched mine. It caused my heart rate to speed up and was giving me goosebumps. I felt like I could hardly breathe so I let go of his hands as I made a few steps towards the entrance gate. I looked at the garage and saw that my brother's car was already there.

"Would you like to come inside?", I asked softly.

"Yeah sure, if it's okay", he answered as he followed me.

As soon as we stepped inside, I let Darren sit on the sofa bed.

"Hi Nanny!", I approached the 40-year-old woman and gave her a kiss on her cheek.  She was there sitting on a couch while watching television. She looked at Darren and furrowed her brows because it's her first time seeing that a man drove me home. I introduced her to Darren. By the way, Nanny served as our 'yaya' since my brother and I was still a kid. For us, she is our second mother and we love her so much.

"Hello Nanny, nice to meet you", Darren greeted her with utmost respect.

After a while, I heard the footsteps of my brother going downstairs. He was smiling as soon as he saw us. 

"Hi boo!", I hurriedly went over and gave him a hug. 

"Hi sweetie!", he responded and put his arms on my shoulder while I encircled my hands on his waist.

"Good evening bro!", Darren spoke.

My brother responded and sat on a separate couch next to him.

"Thank you for driving my sister home, bro", my brother uttered and tapped Darren's shoulder.

"No problem bro. Uhm. I think I need to go", Darren said and stood up.

"Maybe we can have drinks some other time bro", Andre stood and shook Darren's hand.
