CHAPTER 27

"Well, I guess you have to stay here tonight also" I told Mel

"And what's your reason this time"

"Hey, I told you to go earlier so, this time, it ain't ma fault" I said moving back before she could hit me again.

"Do you mind sandwich?" I averted us back to our discussion on what to have for dinner

"Since, I ate a over filling meal of Potato Omelet, a pair of sandwich would be the best thing to take even though it's late"

"Okay then. And a cup of cappuccino?"

She smiled and nodded

I quickly made four pairs of sandwich

"I said I wanted only one pair"

"I know, three are for me"

"Ah, sure. That's right"

"I'm a man, Mel" I told her

"Of course, you are. Also an abnormal human" she whispered the last part but, I heard

I gave her a warning look and she smiled

"Do you want your sandwich or should I change three to four" I asked her

"Sandwich please?" she said smiling

I gave her hers' while I sat opposite her eating mine

"How come you complain that I'm eating three sandwich when we finish at the same time" I asked her when we were done

"You eat like a gorilla" she said as if it was a normal thing. I swiped my hand on her face vertically

"Jace!!" she shouted

"Are you done with your food?" I asked her as if nothing happened

"Do not ever do that" she warned

"Do what? This?" I did it again

"Jace!"

"What?" I did it again

"That's it. You're so dead" she stood up and came over to me but before she could reach me, I went somewhere else. That was how we chased each other in the kitchen at after ten in the night

No nightmares again.

I haven't had any nightmare two days in a row, not that I was complaining

I looked at the time

8:30

I went downstairs but, Mel wasn't there. She wasn't outside or at the third floor either. I guess she was having her full sleep today. Nevertheless, I knocked before I entered her room. She was still sleeping so I left after peeking her head and went back downstairs

What to cook? What to cook? I sang in my head

I didn't want to cook pasta, something else. I looked at what I had and decided to go for making the pancakes and egg. Without needing to follow the directions, I made the pancakes followed by the egg when I was done. Mel still hadn't woken up so I went to wake her up

"Mel" I said shaking her slightly

"Go away" she said and I smiled

"Come on, wake up" I said sitting her up

"What?" she said when she regained her full consciousness

"Breakfast ready" I told her

"You could have kept it for later"

"No point in eating something then. Come on" I dragged her

"Okay, fine, let me just brush first"

"I'm sure you don't need to"

"I need to"

I bent down and pretended to be smelling the air. I then gasped and held my nose

"You are right, go and brush" I told her holding my smile

"Get out" she said heading for the bathroom while I was laughing

Before she could enter the bathroom, I reached for her, pecked her lips, to which she gasped

"Do what you want to do and come down" I told her ruffling her hair

"Jace"

I rushed for the door before she could throw something at me

"Pancakes and eggs?" Mel asked as she came down in another pair of my clothes, not that I mind, far from it

"Ci, made from scratch by moi" I said with a bow

She laughed

"Pretend fully, please" she said

"Really? Will you be able to understand the language?" I asked

"Shut up" she said sitting while set the breakfast

"Nice" she commented after a bite

"You're really useful more than how you look"

"I'm not sure if I should be insulted or happy" I told her

"Just be happy"

"**s there anything you are doing today?" she asked me

"No, why?" I asked back

"Well, I was wondering if you could follow me somewhere"

I sat straight

"Where?"

"Just somewhere"

"You aren't kidnapping me, right?"

She rolled her eyes

"How can I kidnap a gorilla?" she asked innocently

"You chihuahua"

"You psycho" she retorted

I signed

"When are we going?"

She stood up

"Now" she said

"Now?"

"That's what I said"

"You asked me if I could follow you somewhere at the time you wanted to go. Not in advance?"

"Yes"

"You really are something" I told her

"Do I need to change or good like this?"

"Change"

"While you are in my shirt and shorts?"

"That's why we're stopping at my house. Now hurry"

I went to change thinking

*What is this woman doing to me?*

MEL'S P.O.V.

Thank goodness, I though to myself when he agreed

I wanted to take him there and I was happy when he agreed

I've never taken anyone there and have been going alone since but, surprisingly, I wasn't feeling nervous taking him. I felt calm

"Mel, where are you taking me?" Jace asked me again for the umpteenth time

Since I was the one taking us, I was now driving when I changed at my place

"Calm down"

"Mel"

"I really doubt I was like this when you took me to your private house. Are you afraid of a woman you are older than with a month?

He scoffed

"As if you've ever considered our age when treating me" he said

"Agreed" I agreed with him

"Just trust me. Please?" I told him and he just signed and didn't say anything after that statement

I drove pass the welcome sign

"Mel, this is a ..."

"Yes, we're here to see my parents" I packed in the columbarium's parking lot and stepped down

"Your parents? With your dad?" Jace asked

I just smiled at him

"Let's go" I told him, took his hands and led him into the columbarium

"Hi, mum. Hi, dad. I brought someone with me for the first time. His name is Jace" I greeted my parents, my dad beside my mom, and urged Jace to greet them

"It's their anniversary" I told him

"Good day, Mr and Mrs O'Roarke, I'm Jace Welkins, a man who sincerely love your daughter. She didn't tell me where we were coming so, I couldn't bring anything but, I'll make sure to bring flowers with me next time. Happy anniversary and thank you for giving birth to Mel" Jace said and I smiled wiping the tears that fell

Jace excused me and my parents, giving me time to talk to them

"Hope you aren't angry" I told my parents

"He's a really special person to me and I wanted to show him to you guys. He was also the foundation as to why I came to see you the other time, mom, but, we're good now. Because of him, I'm able to move on. You guys want that for me, right? You're happy for me, right?"

After spending over an hour with them, Jace and I went to the nearest park

"After my mom died, my dad was able to cope but, he just couldn't bear it at the end. He died months later and after that I've been coming here alone" I told him

He held my hand

"Are you okay?" he asked

"Surprisingly, yes, I am" I looked at him and smiled

"Let's go have fun" he said standing the both of us up

"How? See what we are wearing?"

"And that is why there are places that sell clothes" he said

"Come on"

We went to the car and he practically dragged me to the clothes store. He wanted to but more than one but, I told him that if he tries that I'm going home so, we just wore the clothes we bought

We had fun; we went to the amusement park, we went for a stroll while eating ice cream, pretty much what couple do and what Jace does.

That was how I ended my two nights and over two days with Jace Welkins

My special person
