SAVE ME

Chapter 31

Morgan Smith

It was already evening when we decided to return home. Well, except for George and Amelia, who said they had somewhere to go to. I asked Ricardo what he thought was going on between them and he just shrugged and told me to let them be, that they will settle their differences, so I didn't pester further.

Ricardo is taking me home and it's quite late, I am pretty sleepy and hope that we get home in time.

"Are you tired?" he asked with a sigh.

I looked at him and could see him yawning and rubbing his eyes as he concentrates on driving. He is as tired as I am.

"Yeah, how about you?" I asked already knowing.

He shook his head and then yawned again. "Not really" he answered.

I turned away and yawned too "I doubt you'll be able to make it home with how sleepy you are," I said and heard him chuckle.

I turned to look at him and he also looked my way, we shared a smile before he focused on the road and I looked outside my window. He took my hand in his and kissed the inside of my palm. I smiled.

"We are here," he said as he slowed down.

"Park here," I said when I saw a man come out of a car that was parked where Ricardo parks whenever he comes to pick me up.

I watched a man come out of the car then he walked to the other side of the car to open the door for a lady who looks like Ann. He walked her to the door slowly and I felt a smile grace my lips. I think I am wide awake now.

"Is that Ann?" Ricardo asked and I nod in response.

My eyes got wider when he leaned in and kissed her cheek before getting back to his car and waving at her which she returned then he drove off and she got inside the house. I let out a squeal and jumped on my seat then turned to Ricardo who was watching me with a smile.

I leaned closer to him and kissed his cheek then opened the door. "I'll see you in church tomorrow," I said then got out of the car quickly before rushing to the door. I turned around to wave at him and he did before driving off.

I knocked and waited for Ann to open the door, I heard footsteps before the door flew open to a flushing Ann in a beautiful dress. She let me in and I walked inside the living room, put my bag on the couch, and turned towards her with my hands now resting on my hips.

"I need details," I said and she sighs then walked to the kitchen.

"Girl, I saw what happened just now" I followed her to the kitchen and sat on one of the stools as I observed her slowly taking a bottle of water from the fridge. "You're probably flushing" I comment and she turned around to look at me with a playful glare thrown my way.

I was right.

"There's church tomorrow" she states then drank from the bottle and put it on the counter when she has drunk enough.

"I know, but that isn't stopping you from telling me about your amazing date, eh?" I wriggled my brows "Let's freshen up and prepare something to eat, then we can talk"

"Morgan," she says.

"What? I want to know because this is the first time I see this glow on you and it's because of one special man. I haven't seen you with any man since I met you and I am excited because it feels like I am watching my mum find love again after being alone" I said and she let out a sigh.

"Okay, fine," she said then went to her room to freshen up.

I went to my room to freshen up too then wore my nightwear when I was done. I made my way downstairs when I perceived something delicious coming from the kitchen. I rushed downstairs and straight to the kitchen to see Ann already cooking.
