Old Derick

Derrick's POV

“I'll take up the dare “.she stared directly at me, and I realized she wasn't joking .she moved closer and sat beside me. I noticed how nervous she was and how hard she was trying to hide it.

“You don't have to do if you don't want to “. Those words haven't left my mouth when I felt a warm wet lips on mine .it took me few seconds to realized what just happened.

She held my neck and force her way through my mouth. I held her waist and moved her closer to me.

I allowed her kiss me in her pace. I felt her grip on my neck getting tighter,, and I heard her moan in the kiss.

Finally, she broke the kiss when she was exhausted.

She shyly moved away and sat opposite me.

You should get dress “.she said those words without looking at me,

“Are you shy”. I asked,

“Why should I”, .she chuckled nervously.

I smiled at her before dressing up.

“We should play this game more often “. I told her with a big grin on my face.

“Never “. She replied with a rolling eyes.

I chuckled softly and sat on the couch.

She sat on the couch opposite me and switch on the TV, 

“Do you want me to talk to your aunt “. I asked, 

“That won't be necessary”

I stared at her and noticed she wasn't bothered about been grounded.

“Thank you “.she spoke up, 

“For what “. I asked.

“For coming here and helping with your father”.

“I'm sorry about my dad "

I saw how her mood changed, but she quickly hides it 

“I should be the one apologizing, I went too far “.

“No you didn't, I know how my dad can be at times, I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me”.

“Not your fault”.she grinned at me and went back to the TV, 

We watched the TV for a while before her Aunt came back.

She smiled at me before seating on the couch,

“Thanks Derick””

“It was nothing”. I told here .if only she knew I was supposed to be the one thanking her.

“How are you Oli,”.she asked while flashing a smile at Oli. Olivia ignored her and kept watching the TV. I chuckled at her before standing up, 

“I should start leaving”.

“Can't you stay for lunch”.her aunt asked,

I looked at Olivia, but she did not say a thing.

“I would love to stay, but I have somewhere else to go “. I lied, 

“Okay, maybe some other time”.she smiled at me and left me and Olivia in the sitting room.

“Lair”.

Olivia spoke out without looking at me.

I chuckled softly and made my way to the door.

“Wait”.she stood up from the couch and stood in front of me.

“What now “. I asked 

She did not say a word rather she moved closer to me and kissed my cheek.

“Thanks for today “.she shyly smiled at me.

“You are still shy around me “. “I'm not “.she quickly replied.

I moved closer to her and held her cheek softly .she closed her eyes for a moment before opening them,

“Go on a date with me, I promise, you would love it”. I took her hands and kissed them softly.

She gazed at me but did not say a word.

“Please say something “. I pleaded,

“You know I'm still with Rona for the next one month”.she releases from my grip and moved away. I felt heartbroken and hurt, but I did not let her see it.

“Are you saying this because you are scared of Rona or because you don't want to hurt him “. I asked in a calm voice hoping she would shout and tell me I was wrong .but she did not say a word, rather she was quiet.

“Oli”. I called out, 

She looked away and was silent.

That was all I needed for my answer.

“Goodbye oli”. I went for the door, but she did not make any effort of stopping me. rather she stood there and watched me leave the apartment.

I got to my car and opened it .as soon as I got in, I hit the wheel with anger.

It was obvious she cares about Rona's feelings than mine.

I felt a sharp pain in my chest and felt a droplet of tears on my cheek.

I quickly wipe it off with the back of my hand and started the car.

It was a miracle that I got home safely.because my focus wasn't on the road.

When I got home, l left my room and walked into a different room. I lay on the bed and closed my eyes.

“I'm confused mom” I murmured in tears 

“What should I do”. “It hurts so bad “. I whispered in tears.

I heard a sound and the door was wide opened.

“What are you doing here “. Dad's voice was rough, but sounded worried.

“Go away “. I whispered with my eyes still closed.

The room was silent for a while before I heard dad's footsteps. He walked closer to me and sat on the bed.

“You only come here when you are angry or in pains”.dad spoke up,

“Leave “. I spoke in anger.

“Is that brat right”.dad spoke in anger .his voice was full of anger and I knew he was hiding it.

I opened my eyes and sat on the bed.

“Stay out of my fucking business”. I shouted in anger.

“You are becoming weak because of a woman, I did not train you to be this weak”.dad was getting furious. I hissed and ran my fingers on my hair .dad was right, I am becoming weak because of Olivia. I tried to be a better person just for her. But instead she chose Rona over me, not caring about my feelings. All that will end today.

I treated her with love and care,, but she would rather be with a beast like Rona.

She took my love and feelings for her for granted.

“Hey son, are you okay”.dad voice brought me back from my thought.

“I'm okay, dad”.I smiled evilly at him.

“Can you tell me what's wrong”.

“Nothing, dad, i can handle it myself”.

He gave me a hard look before leaving the room.l lay back on the bed and closed my eyes,

“Olivia, welcome the old Derick “. I whispered to myself.
