In love with the crazy girl {Book 2}

CHAPTER 14

Steve's P.O.V

"Valerie.. this is Steven" Henry introduce. I look over to her. Her gaze is so focus on me, I feel a little uncomfortable. She whisper something but I couldn't hear it.

"Hi.. uh nice to meet you" I say to her but she didn't reply. Do I look scary? Why is she staring at me like that?

Henry clears his throat beside her and she seems to snap out of her thought.

"Yea.. Hi. I'm Valerie.. you can call me Val if you want to.. I mean please call me Val.. it really really nice to meet you sir.. I mean Steven.." she stutter and bite her lips looking a bit embarrass. "Sorry I get nervous when talking to strangers"

"Hmm" I give her a light smile before facing Henry.

"How are you doing?" I stretch my hand to shake him briefly.

"I'm.. good bro" he reply.

I look over to Micheal who seems to be quiet. His eyes keep observing I and Valerie.

"Evening Micheal" Valerie greet.

"How strange you just noticed me" Micheal comment.

"Sorry.." she blush and give me a quick look.

Hope it's not what I'm thinking.

"You just keep getting prettier. Wanna tell me your secret?" Micheal ask.

"I'll be upstairs" I quickly cut it. I've not seen Ariel for like two hours now.

"No no Steve wait.." Micheal hold my shoulder and I raise a brow at him.

What's he doing?

"Actually there are rules in this house.. Steven can you tell her since she is new here and also show her around the house.. hmm" Micheal says. I give scowl at him before removing his hand from my shoulder.

"I'm kinda busy. I need to.."

"C'mon Steven don't be a jerk. Help this pretty girl out.."

"Micheal I need to.."

"Please!" Valerie blurt out giving me a pleading look. I sigh inwardly. I really need to go see Ariel. Her mom is still getting operated and she must be waiting for me.

"Please" she repeats.

I give her a quick look. 'I'd be a jerk if I reject her' I say inwardly.

"Fine.. come with me" I sigh.

"So.. uh what are the rules?" She ask while we are on our way to the kitchen.

"There are no rule.. Micheal was just pulling my leg" I reply and she crease her brow. We reach the kitchen and her eyes dart around.

"Here is the kitchen.. Care for a drink?" I ask.

"Hmm" she reply. I lead her to the fridge and pull out two orange juice.

"I hope you like orange juice?"

"Hmm.. there are actually my favorite" Valerie smile.

I guess she smile a lot.

She sip out of it while her eyes never leaves me. "What's your favorite?" She ask.

"Coffee" I reply. I grew to love coffee the more these days because of Ariel.

"Oh"

After taking her around the house. I found that Valerie love talking a lot. She is funny, smart, and also a big fan of Marvel. She told me about herself and how she succeeded in becoming the youngest to graduate in her school.
