The Hush-Bond

Chapter Six: A Jerk With Table Manners

Darren's POV

     I arrived at my house safely. I shut down the car's engine and unlatch the seatbelt. Today was very tiring. How my life became this complicated. One week ago, my boyfriend for three years just broke up with me and now I was engaged? Ugh! This is just unbelievable. I grab my hair with both hands and banging the back of my head at the driver seat repeatedly but my frustrated action was cut short when Allen suddenly talk.

     "Are you trying to get a concussion?" He asked before yawning and stretching. "That was a good nap" he said.
     I just stare back at him blinking like an idiot. I forgot that he was in my car - how embarrassing. Blame it to Mr. Devin, he was the reason I was acting this way. He raises his hand in front of my face and made a snapping sound with his thumb and middle finger. "--re you okay? Mr. Samuels are you okay?"
  
     "Ye - Yeah, I'm uh okay..." I finally  said after coming out from my disturbing thoughts. "And we're already here - at my house." I said dismissing the awkward situation and immediately got out from the car. He follows and unload his luggage. After securing the car I made my way to the front door and unlocking it. I leave it open for Allen to come inside and I switch on the light.

     "Okay, Allen welcome to my  house." I begun after he was already inside."Their are two guest rooms upstairs on the left side - you decide which room you prefer - if you're hungry there are available food at the kitchen on your right side. Just feel at home. I'm tired - see you tomorrow." I quickly explained. I turn around and starts climbing up the stairs.

     "Goodnight...and thank you." He said. I stop on my track and look down at him.

     "Goodnight" I replied smiling and continue my pace towards my bedroom. I walk inside, placing my phone, wallet and keys at the top of the drawer. Stripping off my clothes leaving me nothing. I put my used clothes in the hamper and made my way to the bathroom for a warm shower. I took my time inside the bathroom hoping the warm water will help wash away all the stress and  to relax my stiff muscles due from driving all day.  When i had enough - I turn off the shower, grabbing the large towel on the rack and dry myself. I walk outside the bathroom still drying my hair, not caring I'm wearing nothing but my birth suit. I'm used to it. I put the towel on the hanger to let it dry. Heading toward the closet , opening it, grab a new pair of boxer and slipping into it. And finally settling my worn out body on top of my comfy bed.

     But sleepiness has no intention to visit me this evening. My mind still replaying the events back at the restaurant like a movie. What should I do? How will I explain it to Carla that I was already engaged after a break up? And if I back out everything will be even more complicated.
     Even though my mind is now struggling to find some sort of an escape, my heart seems at peace. It was not bothered otherwise it seems it favors the situation - but why? Why my heart is feeling this way? And the kiss - the kiss was great, yeah...it was great - their I admit it. But why did he kissed me? I know when he said about 'the breach of promise to marry', It means we're engaged but he doesn't have to kiss me, right? Or maybe there was someone inside the restaurant, who professionally or relatively know him. So he kissed me so that it will be more believable - that maybe the reason behind the kiss - nothing more nothing less. And when he said 'come with me outside', I expected he will explain it furthermore or approved to my suggestion about finding someone else and leave me at peace but instead he just give me a fucking deadline. Oh this is getting crazier.
     I don't need a week to think about this. I need to sort this all out with that trickster. If he wanted this then I can't let him have all the fun from this. Well he wants to play dirty then I will play along with his dirty game. Tomorrow I will show that asshole that no one messes with Darren Daniel Samuels. And after contemplating I don't know how long, finally I was engulfed with darkness.
