HIS STRANGE DAMSEL

Delaney’s Pov:

I rushed back to the fence I”d jumped out from.

Oh! Delaney; I just pray I find it.

On the way, I kept looking at the floor, but there was no sign of it until I”d gotten to the fence.

I searched and searched around, but still couldn’t find it. It wasn’t on the floor.

Good saviors! Where could it be?

Luckily, I found a lady close by. She was just standing and staring at me and I went ahead to meet her.

“Um…. hi. Did you…any chance, see something on the floor?” I asked and she gave me an uncanny stare.

“Wh…. What’s that?” She arched her brows and asked and I looked around.

“Its….. its actually…”

Oh! Delaney…

I shouldn’t be telling anyone about this.

“Its tied to a rope. Did you see it?” I asked her and she shrugged.

“I didn’t. I’m not a thief” she replied and walked away.

Oh! Goodness. What have I done?

Maybe it had fallen close to the car or something. I just need to check.

I climbed the fence and jumped back to the compound.

And immediately, I started looking around.

I couldn’t afford to lose the treasure. I just couldn’t.

I searched all the way to the car. And to make it worst, I bumped into someone – The son’s friend.

I think his name is Rio.

He scoffed and stared at me in shock.

“You??” He called.

Alicia’s Pov:

After picking up the treasure, I saw a lady coming towards me and quickly hid it beneath my shirt.

She looked…. funny.

She was wearing just a shirt and walked around bare footed.

And she kept looking at the floor.

“Um…hi. Did you…by any chance…see something on the floor?” She turned to me and asked.

“Wh…What’s that?” I asked and she looked around again.

“It’s…its actually tied to a rope” she replied reluctantly.

Hmm. No doubt she’s looking for the same thing I’m holding.

“I didn’t. I’m not a thief” I replied her and left.

That was convincing, right?

As soon as I was out of sight, I brought the treasure out from my shirt and looked at it.

It looked…. I don’t know. But it looked strange.

Hmph. Anyway, its none of my business. I was pretty sure it”d fetch me some money. And that’s exactly what I’m gonna do with it.

I fixed it back into my shirt and hurried home.

Getting to the door, I remembered mom.

Gosh! What if she’s in, huh? And decided to continue from where she stopped?

I wish she”d just leave me alone.

I exhaled deeply and opened the door.

Actually, my mum and I could be close at times, but sometimes, we’re like cats and dogs.

She’s too rough for my liking and doesn’t act like a mother sometimes. I wonder how she”d given birth to me in the first place. I don’t even know my dad.

Well, yeah. I grew up without a father and she’s just never talked about him.

I walked into the house and spotted grandma in the kitchen.

Well, the house was kinda small and the kitchen was facing the sitting room.

She turned to look at me and resumed with what she was doing.

Hm.

Where’s mum?

I looked around the room, but there was no trace of her. And quickly, I ran upstairs to my room.

Oh! Please, don’t think the stairs are classic or something. They’re actually some pathetic stairs, looking like they led to hell.

I got into my room and took out the treasure. Hmm.

Guess mum had chased me to my blessing.

I smiled and hid it carefully in my bag.

Then, left for the kitchen to meet grandma.

“Hey granny” I beamed as soon as I joined her.

She was blending some tomatoes.

“Are you done running?” She asked and I rolled my eyes.

That reminds me……

“Um…. where’s mum?”. I asked curiously.

“Your mother? Where else could she be? She’s probably left for gambling with her friends” grandma replied and I heaved a huge sigh of relief.

I hoped so. I Wasn’t ready to run again.

“Did you really had to take her money, huh? I thought you promised to quit that habit?” She continued and I itched my ear.

“Actually…. you see, Granny. I didn’t want to steal, okay? Its just that…when I asked her for some money this morning, she yelled at me and told me she didn’t have anything on her. Then…I searched her bag and found the wraps in there and I got really angry. Besides, it isn’t like I took the whole thing. I”d only taken a small portion” I pouted my lips and she just shook her head.

“You’re just like her” she mumbled.

“This was the same character she”d possessed when she was your age”.

Hmm.

“Granny” I called after a little pause

“I um…. I”d wanted to ask…. who’s my father?”

I noticed she twitched and paused on what she was doing.

What’s wrong?

“That isn’t important for now, Alicia. Hurry up and help me with the beef” she quickly changed the topic and pushed me away.

Huh?

My eyes accidentally caught the sight of the TV in the room and I smiled when I saw the image.

Oh my geeee!! Its him!!!

They were showing my crush on a commercial ad.

Xavier Maddox!!!

I beamed in excitement and ran closer to the TV.

Xavier’s Pov:

“Oh…. yeah….

“Yeah….

“Come on, Xavier.

“Yeah.. baby….”

Mitchell’s cried sweetly as I drilled into her.

Gosh! Her voice was damn so nice in bed. I never knew she could be this sweet.

I held the sheets firmly as I pounded into her. And just when I was close to climax, a stupid knock came upon the door.

Damn it!?

“Who’s it??” I rasped as I pulled outta Mitchell’s creamy hole.

“Xavier” I heard my name.

It was Rio.

F**k! What the hell is he doing here?

I jumped out of bed and wore on my trouser before going to answer the door.

“Hey! What is it man? I was in the middle of something” I said bitterly as I faced him

“Yeah…. I know. And I’m sorry, but this is kinda urgent.

“Actually, I”d gone out to get something from the car and I found someone you…. sure wouldn’t be expecting to see here” he replied and I furrowed my brows in surprise.

Who could it be?

“Who’s it?” I asked.

“I can’t tell. Come see for yourself” he replied with a shrug.

Damn it!

I turned to Mitchell and saw how ho*ney she still was. Who on earth could be disrupting this moment?

“This has better been good, man” I mumbled as I finally left the room, going out with him.

We walked pass the party hall, out of the house and got to the garage where the car was parked.

What the………

Holy freaking Joseph!!

The alien????

I paused and widened my eyes in shock. Then, looked at Rio.

What’s she doing here???

And why’s she on the floor?

In tears?
