Chapter 48: Chapter 48

DEREK

I arrived at their house and knocked on the door.

Cindy opened up and immediately she saw me she yelled

Cindy: Derek is here

I covered my ear and smiled

Me: don't pull out my ear drums

Cindy: hahaha, sorry. Come inside your friend is here

Me: Blue?

Cindy: not her

Just then Blue ran to me in the living room and hugged me passionately.

As if I'm a soldier who she thought was dead but I came back home alive

Blue : Derek I missed you

Me: I missed you too. I've been trying to call you

Audrey : hi Derek

Me: xup sexy

Blue : don't call her that

She was still clinging to my body

I chuckled

Cindy: come on, Adrian is here

Me: huh, which Adrian?

I heard my name and I turned to look

Me: Adrian???

He walked slowly towards me

Me: I don't understand. I thought you were kidnapped.....

Cindy: Blue saved him

Blue glared at Cindy

Cindy: sorry.....

Me: can someone please explain something to me

Audrey sighed and rolled her eyes

Audrey : she saw him at a warehouse where she was sent to work in Stirling, locked up in a dark corner. She rescued him and brought him here immediately

Me: what

Blue : I didn't expect to see him at all. I didn't even know it was him, it was when I took him to the place I was staying that I recognized him

Me: oh my goodness, Adrian are you okay? Did they hurt you?

I moved to where he was sitting and stared down at him

Adrian: I'm fine

He didn't look up, I guess he's still angry for ruining his wedding.

Well look at this

The very person he threw out of his life saved it for him

I sighed

Me: should we announce it yet?

Adrian : no, but you can tell my parents. But let them keep it a secret for now

Blue came to me and held my hand

Blue : Derek, who exactly did you come to see? Me or Adrian?

He looked up with a surprise look on his face

Me: well I came to see you but....

Blue : no buts, let's go

She dragged me

Me: huh, wait......

Adrian

I watched as she and Derek climbed up the stairs, hand in hand

I shook my head and Cindy sat beside me

Cindy: prince, I've prepared your room upstairs. Let's go so you'll rest

I nodded then stood up

Audrey : I'm going to check that car out before she returns it tomorrow

She went out

I followed Cindy upstairs

We passed by Blue's room

She was laughing happily with Derek

I sighed as Cindy opened the door.

Cindy: sorry it's nothing compared to your chamber but it's still comfortable

I smiled

Me: I like it

We entered and she closed the door behind her.

Cindy: I personally prepared it. I made sure the bed is soft and the pillows are comfy

I smiled and sat on the bed

Wow it's really soft, just the way I like it

Cindy: is it okay?

I pulled her to sit on the bed beside me

Me: see for yourself

We laughed

She bounced on the bed

Me: and it's bouncy

Cindy: when I was a kid, my mom always put me to bed but immediately she offs the light and locks the door. I bounce on my bed like it was a bounce house

She laughed and I smiled

I looked at her

She's beautiful

Her lips are love shaped, full and pink.

Her hair is pretty long, same color as Blue's hair.

And she's really slim

Cindy: come let's check the garden. Or you want to rest?

I seriously needed rest but if I should be left idle now, my mind and conscience is going to fill me with regrets and depression.

Cindy: don't worry, blue flowers are there

I smiled

Me: what's your favorite flower?

Cindy: lily

Me: make sure you pick some lilies for me and keep them here

Cindy: huh, you like lilies too

Me: I just began to like them

I stood up and we went out

We got to Blue's door

Cindy: oh no, I forgot my hair band in your room. I'll be right back

She left and I leaned on the wall

I could hear Derek's voice

I wonder what he's telling Blue

Then I heard Blue's voice

Blue : believe me, I've never had feelings for Adrian at all. I even prefer you to him

They laughed

My heart sank to my feet

I didn't even know what to think

Should I be sad?

But I always knew she didn't love me

Why are her words affecting me?

None of this would have happened if Derek allowed me to have a peaceful wedding with someone who actually loves me

I wonder how Gladys is?

Is the baby truly for Derek?

Why can't I just have a perfect love life just like others?

I love Blue but she doesn't love me

Gladys loves me but I don't love her

This is frustrating

And what is keeping Cindy so long?

Blue's door opened and she came out holding Derek

I looked at them and I know Derek could see through my heart

Derek: uhmm Blue, why don't you excuse us

Blue : I don't wanna leave you

I scoffed and looked away

She smiled

Blue : okay

Then she pecked his cheek and turned to go

My eyes widened

She turned back to him

Blue : don't stay long

Then she left

Derek stood motionless

I guess he's also as surprised as I am

Derek: it's not what you think

I shook my head

Derek: I really don't understand her anymore. But I think she still loves you

I looked up at him

Me: still loves me? Dude, she never loved me in the first place

I began to move away

He pulled me back

Derek: trust me, she does. I think she's pained. She needs you now

Me: seriously dude, if you continue talking on her behavior and that fictional love that you made up, I'm gonna lose my temper

He sighed and put his two hands on his waist

Derek: well I wouldn't blame you for that, this is the very first time we talk about a girl everytime we meet for complete two months. I mean, it's worth rising your temper. Knowing the kind of person you are

We laughed

Me: you have a lot of explaining to do young man

Derek: I seduced her, she wasn't pregnant then. And you never went back to her again, so the baby is definitely mine

I wasn't surprised

Me: but I really wanted marrying her

Derek: you're just depressed buddy

He tapped my shoulder and I smiled

Derek: so what are we going to do about your abductors. I mean who are they?

I opened my mouth to talk but someone yelled from behind us

Cindy: found it!!!

Derek: ahh Cindy, my ear drums

She laughed and we smiled

Cindy: sorry

Me: what took you so long?

Cindy: I did something else

Me: what did you do?

Cindy: you'll find out

Me: let's go.. We'll talk later pal

Derek: sure

We walked down the stairs and met Blue turning on the television.

She looked back then scoffed

Blue : I thought it was Derek

I ignored her and continued walking

Cindy: no it's Prince Adrian and I....

She folded her arms and watched us going to the yard

I smirked

I'm not going to give her a space in my heart anymore

Or else I'm going to die of heartbreak
