Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Olivia inhaled sharply staring at the phone next to her, as if things weren’t bad enough in her home, Kelvin’s school just called about his school fee..

The rent will be due in a few days time, and payday was till next week..

Bianca came into the room with a sour expression on her face, she also noticed the foul look on Olivia’s face and couldn’t help but recall what happened last night..

She was so angry that she spurt out things she wasn’t supposed to say..

“Hey”

Olivia was taken out of her thoughts, she managed to offer a small smile which fell as soon as it came..

“Are you alright?” She inquired standing up to her feet..

“My mum doesn’t want to see or talk to me..” Bianca painfully murmured, if only she could go back in time, she’d have prevented last night’s incident from happening again..

“Neither does my mum… I guess they’re still pretty mad”

Bianca inhaled sharply, when she passed by Sandy’s room, she could hear her mum’s faint sobs coming from inside..

“I’ll be back”

She turned around and left the room before Olivia could react..

The vibrating sound coming from a phone tucked underneath a pillow was answered by a figure sprawled on the huge bed..

Becky brought the phone to her ear still in a drowsy state of mind, whatever she heard at the other end made her sit up in a hurry..

“Shoot!” she exclaimed jumping out of the bed, how could she have forgotten about this one important day of the week.

With a single pull, she freed herself of her gown, and dashed towards the closet to search for anything to wear..

“What?”

She asked in disbelief going through the male wears in the closet..

Feeling a hot gaze on her, she turned around to meet a pair of blue eyes gwaking at her in shock, amusement and another weird emotion she couldn’t point out..

There he was, sitting on a sofa with his phone in his hand raking his eyes over her body..

She was left in only her lacy black underwear..

Her eyes grew large before a loud shrill escaped her throat..

Becky ran back to the bed and pulled the sheets over her almost bare body..

“Wh.. what are you doing in here?!” She questioned pointing a finger at him..

Charles had a blank expression on his face, he simply took hold of the mug of coffee resting on the table before him to his lips..

“You’re in my room”

Her jaw dropped in shock as she looked around the unfamiliar room..

“How? how did I end up here?.. I was at the-

“Bar..” he completed her sentence as he rose up to his feet walking calmly to her..

“You were pretty wasted last night, with a few guys fooling around with you.. do you have any idea what might have become of you if I wasn’t there?”

Becky gulped down nervously when he stood before her pinning her with his eyes which made her feel so small..

“Well you aren’t so different from them.. you just sat there and watched me strip.. you could have said something”

Charles scoffed and uttered “And why should I? it’s not everyday I get to see a perfect body and a private strip show”

Becky’s cheeks flushed, she raised the sheets over her face to hide her growing embarassment, what would he think of her?

His lips pulled up into a smile as he left her side and headed out of the room..

Xander was pretty much upset last night that he even rejected dinner offered to him, Bianca’s rejection really had a strong effect on him..

He knocked on the door several times until it opened, Xander’s bored face appeared next, he had dark circles under his eyes, evident that he didn’t get enough sleep last night..

“Jeez man! you look like a ghost”

Xander closed the door behind him and made his way down, how could he sleep when his small heart was broken?

“I couldn’t fall asleep because of the new sheets..” he lied taking a glass of water from the already set up breakfast meant for him..

Charles arched a brow catching his lies effortlessly..

“Wait.. you’re down because she rejected you again??”

Xander snapped his head to Charles who was standing behind him..

“What? no.. no one rejected me.. that is totally impossible”

He took a seat on one of the wooden chairs, he stared down at the plate of scrambled eggs and toast with nothing but disgust..

“What is this stuff?” He poked the eggs with his fork..

“Breakfast.. well you’re welcome” Charles sarcastically commented, he snorted taking the seat next to Xander..

Bianca paced around a corridor, she has never been this nervous her entire life, she faced the door once more taking a calm and relaxing breath..NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Whatever she was about to do now would have a huge role to play in her life, all it required was just a single knock on this door..

“I’ve got this” she mumbled cheering herself up..

She knocked on the door and in a few seconds, she heard footsteps approaching the door from inside..

The door clicked before it opened, a look of disbelief crossed the pair of brown orbs that was peering at her..

“You? Come in”

She took a step into the suite rubbing her palms together..

Nathan closed the door behind him as he walked past her to the bed where his trunk was opened with a few clothes in it..

“Are you going on a trip?” She asked pointing a finger to his opened trunk, he turned around to face her giving her a nod..

“I guess I have to go a day earlier than planned since.. you know? your mum and I broke up last night..”

She noticed the hidden pain behind his words and couldn’t help but feel worse than before, how could she have turned a blind eye to her mum’s happiness?

Nathan placed both hands on his hips peering down at her..

“Okay I’m gonna ask the obvious question here Bianca.. I don’t want to miss my flight.. what are you doing here? I thought you gave us your verdict last night?”

A sigh escaped her lips once more, can he just stop making her hate herself right now?

“Nathan.. I’m sorry I reacted that way last night? I wasn’t thinking straight and I said some things I shouldn’t have said”

“Okay?.. look Bianca I’ve got no more time to waste.. I have to leave for the airport in ten minutes and I can’t do that with you lingering about”

He turned his back to her as he placed a few more clothes into the trunk..

“And what if I told you to stay back would you stay?”

Nathan exhaled loudly obviously getting impatient by her persistence..

“Like I said before.. I’ve got no time to waste.. just go home”

“I messed up okay? I have never seen or heard my mum cry so much not even when she remembers my dad.. I guess I was being a nasty spoilt daughter but I only craved one thing.. and that was a father’s love which I didn’t get all throughout my childhood”

In as much as Nathan wanted to pacify her, he really needed to catch his flight..

“I’m sorry about that but everything is over now and I-

“Get married to my mum and become my dad Nathan”

Nathan’s brows raised in surprise, did she really mean that or was it one of those random thoughts he often had?

“What?” he whispered breathlessly..

“Become my dad Nathan”
