His Curse, Her Obsession

Ryle

"Well you have my intrigued now. " I said leaning on the doorway of Adelinda bedroom in guest room we are staying.

She turned to me and I can see blue eyes filled with mischief. She walked towards me and put her hands in mine .

"You will see. " She said and dragged me downstairs to the living room where I saw 3 large boxes .

They were around an average man height of white color and a large black ribbon was wrapped around it.

"What are these? " I asked.

Adelinda said nothing but just smirked and signaled me to open one of the box.

I hesitated but opened it.

I tried to not let my jaw drop.

I turned back at Adelinda who again signalled to open other 2.

I blink once,

Twice

Thrice.

I opened the last one.

"So which one is it? "

I turned towards Adelinda who was looking at me with eyes fill with the hope.

"This is why you don't wanna make me bring my suite.
She nodded.

Adelinda Blackwood has art to answer the most troublesome question in simple answer.

I step away from the suits and shaked my head.

"It's too much...... I can't-"

"Why not? " She interrupted. I gave her a look of disbelief.

"Adelinda it's too much. They must have caught a thousand dollars and-"

"It will be worth it " She again interrupted.

"You will look absolutely beautiful in it. " She added.

I felt the butterflies I kept in cage -from the time of picnic - all breaking the cage and flying.

"I-I..... "I trailed off seeing her crestfallen face.

Adelinda Blackwood will be the death of me.

" Fine I am choosing the first one. "I said.

My smile widened when Adelinda sqealed and jump.

If I am being truthfull she is most loosened up I have seen. Sure she was fun to talk to in Boston but their was something on her shoulders when she was there.

Tension was hidden in her eyes which was visible.

Suddenly the mansion door opened with a thud making us turn.

Their standing an a odd duo.

Their was a old man around age 60s around in a......

Hawaiian Print shirt in LA.

Another was a man of age around my dad age in a suit who looks like he want to be anywhere but here.

I looked at Adelinda if she knew them but I frowned when I saw her blank face and hard stare.

The squealing and smiling Adelinda was not in sight.

"Grandpa what are you doing here? "

I tried to not let my jaw drop agian.

I looked back at the duo and saw mischief in - according to age I observed - grandpa eyes. But what got my interest was other man eyes filled with.

Shame. Regret. Longing.

I know that look anywhere because it was the same look I had ages ago when I saw myself in mirror whenever I look .

"You my silly granddaughter suddenly overestimated my care for you. "

Next moment I know man was looking at me with that intensity making me feel like I am being analyzed .

I don't think if I was breathing too.

He came forward and stand in front of him. I was a little bit taller than him but still I felt small in front of him.

"Alphonso Blackwood. "

I nodded barely and handshake him while introducing myself.

"Ryle Kincaid sir."

Suddenly there was knowing glint in blue eyes on front of me but it was like he knew everything about me.

"Aaj you are the man that has my granddaughter obse-"he was cutt of by Adelinda whom I didn't realize was beside me.

"Grandpa what are you doing here? " She asked.

Alphonso huffed like a kid playtime got interrupted. Another man in a Armani suit came forward and i felt Adelinda hands in mine in a tight grip.

Instead of a handshake he nodded at me.

"Adam Blackwood pleasure to meet you. "

I nodded back at him and looked at Adelinda beside me and as looking in man eyes she said.

"He is my father Ryle. "

It's like I have read this name somewhere but I shrugged that thought and again nodded at Adam.

Their was a tense tension in air. Adelinda has a blank look while her dad has a soft look as if he is trying to say something to her.

Looks like I am not the only with family issues.

So....

I have some happy news that I republished my one of the book which was under editing and that book is -

The Horcrux Hunters (ft.TXT)

My plan was to change a little bit plot and then publish but then I remember I have not finished my first plot so I decided to keep the plot same just make it little bit mature and not like the one I wrote earlier.

*grimace at the thought of earlier writing*

So if you want please check out that story and comment, like on that.
