💗ONLY MINE 💗

Episode 82

My inexplicable happiness rolled on as Kimberly introduced me to her friends and relatives. My mind was still reeling in my engagement to Dave that I paid less attention to the introduction Kimberly was doing. My thumb kept rolling on the shimmering object on my middle finger. I haven't taken a proper look at it yet.

I didn't expect Dave to do something like that and if it were to be a week back, I would've said no to him point-blank. Well, I could've still done it because marriage and settling are the least things in my mind now. I mean how can one think of marriage when there is death probably lurking somewhere in a corner?.

All the same, I know all my fears will happen some way or the other so why not give him some Joy when things seem like they're calm now? Until whatever that will come comes, I will continue to do whatever will make him happy. I will live in the moment and make the best out of it.

Katherine complained of a headache when she was stopped from leaving by Kim. Kim didn't have any choice than to let her go. I didn't understand why she stopped her though.

"Okay." Dave strolled to where we stood. "That is enough now mum. We want to go home."

Thank God he came. I'm bored and tired of all these introductions. They keep asking questions about things I don't wish to talk about.

"Please wait a little longer.I don't even know when I'll see you again when you leave."

"Yes, Dave. Please allow us to become acquainted with your fiancee. She's so lovely." Dave's Aunt, Ariel said.

"Okay. Ten minutes."

My eyes followed him as he walked away. He must've felt my eyes on him so he turned.

He pointed to me then to my mum then raised his pinky.

I didn't get what he meant so I shook my head and he did it again. I smiled when I got what he was trying to tell me. He's really determined to take me from here.

"Sorry to interrupt but I need to visit the restroom," I whispered into his mother's ears.

She nodded and excused us from the group of ladies gathered around us.

"I'd show you." She said and took the lead. Dave turned around and began to talk to his father pretentiously.

"You can just give me the direction Kim.  You don't want to leave your friends."

"Don't worry dear. You might get lost if I don't take you there myself." She said and we began to take the stairs.

I didn't try to keep her back anymore as we took all the zigzag stairs then she stopped before a door.

"You can use this room. I'd be waiting for you here."

"Okay." I turned the knob and entered. The room was so big and in the middle was a gigantic king-size bed. It was so spacious and beautifully decorated. The closet was carved into the wall and it was impossible to see something lying carelessly on the floor. Whoever this room is for must be very neat and organized.

I went to the washroom and it was as big as the room I shared when I was with Raymond. Everything was sparkling clean.

I turned around to leave since I didn't come to use the bathroom.

My eyes hit the wall above the bed which had so many photos on it.

Among all of them, my eyes caught a photo of a boy about eight-year-old  smiling brightly to the camera. I raised my hand and touched it. I laughed when I recognized the boy as Dave. He hasn't changed that much except that he matured. He still has that boyish resemblance in him.
