Deeper Than Faces

Chapter 13

Moet's POV

I felt so relieved telling Alex about my dad, I had held that in me for so long and telling him made me feel so free, it felt like a burden had been lifted from me,
He seemed nice and very friendly, easy to talk to and very good at making me smile.

I chuckled as I watched him eat, he had a great appetite and ate like a big strong man, "pardon my manners please, I tried eating stylishly but it was not working out for me, so I took the easy road " he said, making me laugh a bit louder, we'd become more familiar with ourselves and the way we ate soon didn't seem like a deal.
"yea, your turn, tell me about yourself" I asked, looking very eager to hear as he drank from his juice and cracked his throat
"well nothing much, I am Alex as you already know, I live with my dad and I have few friends, of which you've met Char........."then I cut him short
"your house, please tell me about your house" that house was the best I had seen in the estate so far, and couldn't wait to hear the history behind it.

"I know right, I remember how you stared at it the other day,....well that's my dad's house, it was designed and built from scratch by my dad, he is an architect, so its sure going to look different from others.

I was so amazed to know the house was planned by his dad, I couldn't help the thought of owning one of such for myself in the near future.
  I got so carried away in my thought that I even forgot he was still talking,
hello....helloooo Moet!!! " he yelled a bit as he snapped his fingers close to my face, I felt a little embarrassed and kept smiling at him, " I'm sorry" I said, meaning every bit of it.
"I know i'm boring, I'm not as good in talking as Charles " he said and used his hands to cover his face,
"why don't we just bounce, and take a walk in the estate, beside it's just 5:15, it's the best weather for a stroll" he suggested as we parked up and hurried out of the canteen.

"This estate is nice and quiet " I said as I drew in the fresh air that blew, I raised my hands and closed my eyes as the breeze blew the opposite direction, making my clothes and hair fly backwards.
"hey what are you staring at "I asked as I saw the lost in Alex's eyes, he seemed to be thinking of something,
"nothing, I want to show you something" he said and began to run slowly in front, what could he want to show me by this time, I thought, and began to run along.

"hey please wait, I can't climb by myself, please wait for me "I yelled as he gave me a hand to pull me up, we were still inside the estate but no longer where buildings were, the place was quiet and had little trees and bushes, I was scared initially but he'd assured me I would like the place, and I was really eager to see for myself, "now you have to close your eyes" he said,  I gave a furrowed look, and slowly covered my face, he led me a bit higher from where we stood, I was so anxious to see what was in front but didn't want to spoil the surprise
"now open your eyes, behold, wayrose estate" he said as he pointed and took a step behind, it was the most beautiful sight to behold, I could see the whole estate from were I stood, it was a little dark and so the lights arrangements in the estate made the whole place wonderful, I stared with amazement as my mouth was left slightly open.

He chuckled as he stared at me, "it's Wonderful Right? " he asked, but I said nothing, he held me by the hand as we walked closer to the grass and sat, with our eyes still on the beauty that was before us...
