24th July (Under Constructive Editing)

Chapter 13

Drive was slow, we're in the car for good twenty minutes. It's 5:00pm, would kyle be taking me home or to the office, I really want to see Claire before going home, it has been so long and I also want some hot chocolates.

Kyle was silent all these while his eyes were ogling my whole body without refrain. How embarrassing, why is he making me feel so uncomfortable, I took a deep breath folding my arm to my chest, staring back at him...let's see who wins in the staring competition.

Awkward silence, we were still gazing at each other, with a smirk on his face and I couldn't take it anymore "Sir, you are disrupting my privacy " I said with a cold tune looking at my thigh. Yeah, he won the staring competition, I couldn't help it with his drown orb filled with different types of emotion.

"How am I disrupting your privacy, oh!! Miss Waltz, do I make you feel uncomfortable? "He placed his hand on his chest, smirking.

"Jerk" I mumbled.

"What did you just say? "

"Uh..nothing" I shook my head.

"I heard you clearly, Miss Waltz and you know you are stuck with me in this car " he said moving closer to me, oh goodness.

"That was a slip of the tongue, am sorry" to be frightened was an understatement. My eyes widened when he moved closer to me that our face nearly touch and he smirked, I was at the brim of tears, I couldn't breath though . Why does he deprive joy in teasing me?, why is he always a jerk?.

"Mr knight? " I tried using my index finger to pull him off me , how silly of me...it was just as if am pointing at a rock. I look up to his smug face, am sure he enjoys seeing me like this. This is molestation.

I tried turning to the window and I sighted the cafe where Claire works " Mr Knight, can you drop me here? " I asked entwining my fingers together.

"Nope" he said popping the 'p' sound.

"Why?, I want to see a friend and we are done for the day" I said, getting irritated.

"I insist "

"Mr knight, this is absurd and am not gonna let you deprive me of my right. Please can you let me see my friend, now!! " I was taken aback from my outburst, did I really said that.

"Am impressed, I'll be waiting" the car stopped and I looked back to him. "Thanks for the ride Mr knight but I won't come back" I left with a sad facial expression, anyone could think that I was asked to scrub the floor with a toothbrush.

I went into the cafe as the scent of a vanilla chocolate flavor filled my nostrils. Every corner of the cafe was decorated with greenery flowers.

"Yee!!, look who came to visit" Claire shouted as she embraced me."what's wrong with that face of yours" I took a seat near the window and Claire sat in front of me.

"I think am a little annoyed, wishing someone would jump in the lake and forget how to swim!" I said furiously.

"Easy girl, calm down you're scaring me now... What is it? "

"Am just stressed up with work, I want hot chocolate"  she laugh out loud.

"You're laughing at me, I hate you" I pouted.

"I’m not laughing at you, I’m laughing with you, you’re just not laughing" she rolled her eyes.

"Silly girl, go get my chocolate"

"Alright" she left and got a hot chocolate a placing it on the table. "My brother was rushed to the hospital today "

"Really, what happened to him? " I asked earnestly.
