Chapter 109
She needed to get to Daniel fast before he would go to his room. She ran down the stairs but suddenly she missed her legs and was about to fall to the ground when a hand grabbed her from behind.
She raised her head and saw it was Daniel. Both of their eyes locked together. Daniel lost staring at her. Her eyes were so beautiful that he felt so attracted to them. He wondered where she got those charming eyes from.
His eyes moved from her eyes to her nose then to her red lips. He felt like kissing them and sucking the hell outta them. Just a mere thought alone he was already feeling hard. Then his eyes moved towards her protruding tummy making him come back to reality.
He swallowed hard and helped her stand properly before letting go of her. “You should be careful next time. You wouldn’t want to hurt yourself or the babies” Daniel said and was about to walk away when Lisa held his hands making him stop.
He felt a cold shiver run down his spine as their skin came in contact with each other. The feeling was what he could not describe. All he wanted was to grasp her, pin her to the wall, and rock his waist on hers as he devoured her lips. He swallowed into nothing at his naughty thought.
God!! This petite woman standing before her was making him lose control of himself.
“What is it, Lisa?” He managed to ask
“I need to talk to you,” she said as she stared into his eyes innocently. Daniel stared at those charming eyes, staring at those eyes could make him fall under her control in two seconds. This woman doesn’t know what she’s doing to him. She’s torturing him and he was trying his best to resist her. He wasn’t ready to speak with her, not at all.
“There’s nothing to talk about Lisa. You should go to bed. You look stressed and tired already” Daniel said as he removed his hands from hers. Without staring at her he climbed up the stairs and was about to walk inside his room when Lisa spoke making him stand rooted to his spot.
“I’m leaving,” Lisa said and he turned to her. Without wasting another time he climbed down the stairs and moved towards her. This time he was standing in front of her.
“You said what?” He asked to be sure of what he just heard.
“I’m leaving, I’m moving out. I got an……,” she paused when she saw the look on Daniel’s face. She could see the anger in his eyes. She’s never seen him this angry since she knew him. It reminded her of Alfred.
She took a step backward as she felt scared. Staring at him, she knew he was trying so hard to compress the anger he was feeling at that moment.
Daniel moved away from Lisa and turned away from her. He hates to get angry and he was feeling so angry. He hated this part of him Lisa wants to bring out. He’s got an anger problem and when it’s out of control, he does anything, absolutely anything without thinking. All these anger issues started after what happened between him and his best friend, Alfred.
He hated the fact that Alfred never believed he didn’t kill Rhoda. He felt so angry and out of control that day but his mom was able to calm him down. That was the day all the anger issues started.
“Daniel, Daniel are you alright?” He heard Lisa call in a calm but sad tone like she was about to cry. He felt his anger disappear immediately. God!! He wondered what connection he had with this petite woman that her voice would make him this calm at once. It was just like her mother’s voice.
He turned to her and stared into her eyes. He could see tears gathered in them.
“I’m sorry Daniel but I have to move out. I can’t continue to depend on you all the time. You’ve done enough by bringing me back to my feet, it’s time for me to take care of the rest myself ” Lisa said as tears slipped down her cheeks. Daniel felt weak immediately.
He hated to see women cry and not just any woman but Lisa. She meant a lot to him and he hates to see her hurt, knowing the reason she’s crying is because of him hurting the most.
“Lisa” Daniel called not knowing what to say. He moved towards her and hugged her. Immediately he hugged her, he realized how much he missed her. For a week he hasn’t seen her because he’s been trying to avoid her.
He would confess that he hated the fact that she was moving out, it hurt him a lot but still, he hates to see her cry.
He had promised her before that he would always support her and always protect her. Whatever decision she’s making, maybe he should support her.
He pulled away from the hug and placed his both hands on her cheeks.
“Stop crying alright? I’ll have Williams go check the apartment tomorrow and I’ll get you everything you need. Just stop crying. When are you moving out?” Daniel asked
“A day after tomorrow, ” Lisa said
“It’s alright. Stop crying. You should go to your room and rest. You do not want to be late for work tomorrow ”Daniel said and kissed her on the forehead before walking upstairs to his room.
Just as he was about to enter his room, he saw ma’am Lois walking towards her.
“You want me to convince her to stay?” ma’am Lois asked
“No, it’s fine,” Daniel said and with that, he walked inside his room.
Ma’am Lois sighed softly as she heard Daniel lock his door from the inside. He felt so much pity for him. He’s hurt. But still, not everything that seems like it’s meant to be is meant to be.
At times fate can be so cruel, she thought sadly.
