Days of Enchantment(Part 1)
Megan Pov
I reached home texted my parents that I was home safely, and not to worry about me, after few minutes of my text, I got a video call from my sister...I was so happy to see my whole family...sitting in the living room of my sister's house
"Hai Megan, how are you, why didn't you come, Ash is missing you, she was searching for you as Mom and Dad entered the house"
"I had a friend's engagement to attend, sisters, it's ok next time I will not miss coming, show me Ahs..."
Ash was the cutest thing in this world I have seen, she was the ball of joy...you can forget about anything around her...I played and spoke with her for few minutes, I spoke to my brother Logan, Karen, and Ben...there was a knock on the door, I said bye and the cut the call and went opened the door to see Aunt Jenet...standing with fresh veggies bags in her hand.
I helped her with bags and walked to the kitchen, and put the things with Aunt Jenet in the fridge...she started to cook, while I sat on the couch watching tv, and checking the photos we clicked...and uploaded few photos on my social media...and continued watching tv, I didn't get any call from Daniel....as I was thinking about him, I thought what I call him...
I call him Danny, but all call him Danny, there should something special way of calling him, as he calls me Meg..and only my Dad calls me that, not even my mom and Olivia use to call me, but after repeatedly telling her not to call me Meg, she stopped...So it's only Danny...wait, why can't I call him DAN... and only I will call him with this name...I nodded and smiled with my new brand name for Daniel...
Aunt Jenet cooked me my favourite Food, I finished my dinner, while Aunt Jenet cleaned the table and dishes, I left to my room, she was staying in the Maids room, which was next to our Kitchen...it was a spacious room with a closet, attached bathroom.
I said my goodnight to Aunt Jenet and walked up the stairs to my room, I closed the door locked it as I wanted to video call Daniel after my shower...I finished my shower and dried my hair, while thinking, how Daniel helped me with my hairdryer in the resort as I was in my thoughts...
My phone rang, I was startled by the sudden noise and dropped the hairdryer...I shook my head and took the call...
"Meg...open the window"
it was him...I smiled and got up from the
dresser....
opened the window...Daniel...no...Dan came into my room in his nightwear....
"What are doing here..."
I whispered in a low voice...to Danny
"Accompanying you..."
he smiled slyly...a smile that stings my heart differently...
I pretended to be angry and stared at Daniel..and said,
"I don't need your company... I can manage on my own, so Mr Ried thank you for coming, please leave"
Daniel suddenly tugged my wrist and pulled me into his embrace, and said,
"Meg, I need your company...what should I do, I loved hugging you to sleep"
"You're overacting now... you first get out of here...if Aunt Jenet finds out someone is in my room, I am dead meat....you first get out"
" Meg listen, I don't want to sleep in my house, you know Becka is come back to stay.... what if she drugs me again, or there do something even worst than before this time what will I do...You tell"
I stood there upset, asking Dan...
"whatt....why would your mom get someone like that...into the house again"
But Dan...f*uk...I will call him Daniel only, what's there in what I call him...
Daniel didn't speak, he just looked with a puppy eye...which really didn't suit him at all...
"Danny, what you want now..."
"I want to be with you here, I will leave on Monday morning...ok"
"Whatttt....no...no...no, that can't happen, Aunt Jenet will find out"
"I will be in your room, and Mrs Jenet will not know..."
"What if she finds out, when she comes to clean up..."
"I will manage that she doesn't find me...Ok..."
as he said, he hugged me more tightly, breathing my scent...
"Okay, fine... let's sleep, but you're not allowed to...go overboard"
He chuckled and kissed my lips gently and carried me to my bed...
We slept hugging each other....
Aunt Jenet knocked on the door, I was so panicked, Daniel sat up, looked at me, I slowly walked to the door opened it a bit and asked,
"Aunt Jenet... what's it, you woke me so soon"
I pretended to yarn, Aunt Jenet, looked at me with an apologetic way,
"Sorry...baby, I am going to church, the breakfast is ready on the table, I have boiled milk for your coffee, what you want for lunch and dinner, meat or seafood, I will get it while coming..."
"it's ok Aunt Jenet, You get prawns and meat, I want meat mince ball fry and prawns fried rice...thank you for the breakfast"
"Ok Megan, see you then, I will be back before 12 O clock... bye"
I waved to her and turned to the clock, it was only 7:30...Wow, a lot of time left, I went back to see, Daniel coming out from my washroom, he had washed up...
"Don't you want to sleep anymore, I am a bit sleepy..."
"it's ok, You come... sleep, I am used to getting up early always..."
"No, it's fine...I will wash up, and make coffee"
I walked to the washroom and cleaned myself, changed into a new pair of shorts and a t-shirt, my regular dress at home, and walked out to see, Daniel checking my books.
"What are you looking for...Danny"
"Nothing... just your notes, I will give you my notes, that I prepared for my exams, it will be useful for your reference"
I nodded in agreement, Ya that makes sense, anyway he topped our department...we both walked down, and Danny leaned in our kitchen door, while I prepared coffee, I asked him..
"Do you want to eat here or my room, Danny"
"We will take it to your room, it's more comfortable there, Meg"
He helped me carry the food and I took the coffee mugs, we reached my room and sat comfortably on the bed, and we ate in silence, Danny, offered the roast in his hand to me, when I looked up, he gestured me to take a bite, I smiled, and took a bite from his hand...
We finished our breakfast and I took all the things, to the kitchen, left them there for Aunt Jenet to clean, but after I thought, I cleared the dishes and loaded them in the dishwasher...and went back to my...Room, to find Daniel was looking at my old photo albums... I walked to him, he just showed a photo of mine, and asked,
"At what age was this photo of you was taken... you look so small, who are the other kids in it..."
I looked at the photo...it was my kindergarten annual day photo...
"That....it's a group photo...it's me to last right, the centre is Olivia, next to her is Ray, and the last to the left is Riley"
"How long you all have been friends," Daniel asked me,
"We are all friends from our Kindergarten, I even remember the first day, when Olivia came in cry her guts out, and I was sitting there like...I was left in a zoo... Ray and Riley were dragged in by their parents like pulling a bull into a room...if I think it's still was a sight of horror..."
"Then how did you four become friends"
"We... my teacher saw I was not crying, so she encouraged them by showing me, and made them sit with me at the same desk... from then we four are together, they three are my souls out of my body"
"Then why have I not seen Ray and Riley, for those 2 years..."
"Ray and Riley were sent to boarding school, to discipline them, now because my Dad said Ray's Dad, If they both came back, We will be in same high school, Those two idiots were bought back..."
I shook my head thinking, what these two monkeys did...
"Oh..." Daniel looked at me with some confusion in his eyes...
"What...why look so confused"
"Nothing...don't you have any other friends at all...Megan"
"Why do I need other friends, when I have the best friend in the whole world... who can do anything for me"
I smiled and looked at Daniel...
He didn't talk anything after that, we saw a lot of photos..happily discussed about it...it was almost noon when Aunt Jenet came, I saw her with a bags in her hand, I asked Daniel to be quiet and walked down to the kitchen and helped Aunt Jenet, with putting the things in the kitchen, made some fresh orange juice and gave her a glass, while carried the remaining to my room...
I and Danny had the juice and sat near the widow looking out, after an hour, Aunt Jenet knocked and said,
"Megan, Lunch is ready, come down"
"Aunt Jenet, I will have my lunch here only, can you help me to bring it to my room"
Aunt Janet nodded her head and bought the lunch up to my room, it was sufficient enough for two, we finished our lunch, had a group video chat with Jack, Ellie, James, Olivia, Ray, and Riley, Daniel was the quiet one in all of us... he rarely speaks... after the chat was over, I made a new wechat group...with all of us, name it "We tie till we die".
The day ended with our dinner in my room as I tricked Aunt Jenet, telling I am doing my project, so will have dinner in my room, and as usual, Daniel held me in his arms to sleep, for past two days Daniel behaved very good, never went overboard, he took my words very seriously....that I wanted to wait for THAT till our wedding,
It was still dark...when Daniel called me...
" Meg... Meg... wake up, I am leaving"
I opened my eyes in great difficulty...to see his handsome face...
"Why are you wake me up at night..."
"Night...Meg, it's morning...5:30 am now, where on earth it's a night to you...You sleepy head...wake up"
I got up and sat with my half-closed eyes...Daniel shook me again, and said
"Sleeping beauty...wakes up when the prince kisses her"
and he kissed my lips.....
"Stop it Danny, I am sleepy..."
"Ok you go to sleep, I am leaving now, I need to go to office...be good, and don't go out, bye "
I pulled his t-shirt hem, and Daniel turned to see me...
"don't go....stay with me.." as I said, I hugged his waist and buried my face in his flat tummy...
"Hai Megan, I can't take more leave while I am in probation... I have taken leave on Friday...sorry baby, I need to go"
I nodded my head, and let him go...,
"Go to sleep for some more time..."
he again kissed my lips and jumped out from the window, waved at me closed the window... I heard his bike racing the wind...I closed my eyes and slept....
