Chapter 5

The next morning, the courteous sun in the sky penetrated its striking rays into the room through the white transparent curtains. Soothing breezes and chilly winds found it's way across the space as it's alleviating sensation awakened the two duos laying on the bed. 

"Mhmm..." Rose moans sleepily, lifting her palm to her face as she struggled to seat up on the bed. 

Unhurriedly, her eyes sprang open as she takes in her blurry view one after the other... It was morning already, the sun was nonetheless emerging it's essence upon the earth. 

What a beautiful Saturday its gonna be for her! 

Rose smiled as she looked over to her boyfriend who laid beside her, the white coverlet of the bed concealed his waistline as he kept on  groaning and tossing on the bed like a baby.

Last night was one hell of a lovemaking, it was the best she ever had with him. 

"Good morning, darling," she greeted sweetly, putting up her hand to her lengthy hair as she tucked a few strands behind her left ear. 

"Good morning, sweetheart," David replied sleepily. 

His eyes were stationary closed as he kept on tossing and wriggling. It was obvious he was depleted and exhausted which was solely payable to last night labors. 

"I wanna go wash up, care to join me?" Rose inquired, she swiftly winked seductively at him even though his eyes were still closed. 

"Sure!" David beamed, his bright green eyes snapped open instantly as he hastily sat up beside his ladylove. 

"Silly boy!" Rose chuckled, smacking his arm as she sailed out of bed and her bare body exposing to the world. 

David blinks his brows, licking up his lips brim as he ogles at the perfect physique in front of him. Inevitably, she's turning him on in ten folds. 

"Never mind, darling. I was only kidding, I'm taking the shower myself," Rose gushes as she dashed to the bathroom and stood by the door. 

She smirked naughtily on seeing how vibrant he was becoming, she merely wanted to punish him a little that's why she had left the bed denuded to his sole eyes. 

"Fine," David muttered lowly. However, sadness was completely evident in his raw voice. 

Not sparing her one final glance, he bent over to the nightstand to pick up his pants as he wore them hurriedly. His face was filled with barrenness and expressionless. 

David snapped his head at Rose who stood at the door, her both hands positioned on her waistline while her sunken face stuck at him. He scoffed and looked away. 

"Go in and bath, make sure you dress beautifully," he said. 

"And why is that?" Rose asked almost immediately, her face rewrote into curiousness as she pulled down her both hands. 

"We are seeing someone significant later," David revealed, he glance over at her as he stood from the bed and went over to the wardrobe. 

"Someone significant? Who could that be?" Rose questions, her eyes wandering to each speck he takes off to. 

"I don't know, it's a surprise wifey," David told as he bustle his hands among the cloths in his wardrobe. 

"Wifey?!" Rose exclaimed, she rumbled her countenance as she tries to get a clue of what David is trying to say. 

"Don't fucking tell me he wants us to visit his parent?" Rose thought, she sulk her lips as she ponder in deep thinking. 

She's not ready for this yet, she doesn't want this yet. 

"Don't you think your rushing your things, darling?" She asks him, her grey orbs on his back as he rummages among the shoes in the rack. 

"What do you mean?" David solicits. 

Eventually, he pulled out a black footwear of his choice as he strode to the bed to position his butt on. Hurriedly, he word them recklessly. 

"Confronting your parent, I know that's what your trying to imply," she told him, and David signed deeply. 

"I'm not rushing things, sweetheart. Come on, don't you want to be  with me, huh? Don't you want to spend the rest of your life with me, huh baby? David quizzes, putting up with slow steps towards her while his green eyes locked with hers.  

"N-no, no baby, it's just.. But-" she shutters and abruptly, David pecks her soft lips.  

"But what, baby?" He whispers to her face after pulling away a bit. 

"Nothing," Rose mumbles out in defeat, she clearly doesn't know what to say at the moment. But she felt like saying a lot to him, more like trying to change his mind towards the intents of confronting his parent. 

On norms, she haven't met his parent before either does she know what they looked like but then. Not even his relatives. Nonetheless, she knew they were just average parents like every other, nothing much. 

"Look baby, forget about your thoughts and do as a I say, huh? Get dress beautifully for me and I will show you something you really don't expect," David says. 

Rose scoffed. "Tell me something I don't know," she rolled her eyes. 

"You may never know it as your claim, sweetheart!" David chuckles as he quickly bit her edged nipples sensually before dashing out of room. 

"Darn it!" Rose cussed, her fisted hand unknowingly punching the wall. 

"Ouch!" She winced painfully on realising what she had done to herself. However, that wasn't close to what she felt in her heart. She have to stop David in whatever way she could possibly think of in stopping him. 

She knew he's merely trying to shove her mind outta it but then, she knew what he meant and it seems the confrontation is inescapable. 

                                                **********************

 

A radiating morning it prevails to occur, condensed with its striking rays which its shimmers into the ineffable building belonging to no other heart than - The Hendricks.

The Hendricks mansion is acknowledged to be the most unspeakable, inexpressible and sumptuously. Every sliver in the building screams of affluence and tremendous fortune. 

Straight after U.S. A president, they come next in streak. They ain't a conglomerate to be messed with!  

Assorted hefty guards professionally decked out in black suits, could be detected every nook and cranny of the compound which renders  no intruder to creep in or out.  

Right inside the building, clicking cacophonies of footsteps could be listened to as the soul jogged down the white smudged treads of the stair, revealing himself to be David as he put up with the last tread which ushers him into the incredible living room.  

He had arrived at his parent house right after he left home, he had actually come back to notify his parent about the meet up with the girl he had viewed to walk down the holy aisle with.

On norms, a cellphone call certainly would sort things out for him between him and his parent. However, he needed to meet face to face with his them so as to caution them never to show off their affluence in Rose's presence. 

He wouldn't want his secret to blow up, Rose might not forgive him it she finds out about it. 

David solely didn't want her neither anyone around to snatch a glimpse of how moneyed he was, he simply wanted a free and modest existence for himself and that was the reason why he had come to notify his parent about the meet up which would take place at a random restaurant in the city. 

Presently, David walked into his aged parent who sat on one of the symphony silver couches as they were keenly watching the display on the TV. 

"I have missed home a lot, a lot!" He clamors as he strode nearer to them. 

"I know right? I was beginning to wonder why you haven't come by for sometime now,"  His mother, Mrs Sophia replied as she stood to peck his cheeks of which he reciprocates back before she settled on the couch beside his father. 

"Don't tell me your leaving already?" Mr Hendricks asked, his eyes never departing from the TV as he was perceived to be deeply  engrossed on the exhibit. 

"Yes, Father!" David gave an answer, instantly he stooped in reverence before placing his butt on one of the couches. 

"But you just arrived home, huh? You didn't even bother to spend a few minutes with us, and now your leaving?" Is there anything the matter,  son?" Mr Hendricks asks, his voice could sensed to be filled with concern. 

"Nothing father, I just have to leave. I just came to pick a few stuffs," David fabricated flawlessly, he stylishly ignores his parent eyes on him. 

"Why don't you loiter for breakfast, don't you think it's too early to leave, yet?" Mrs Sophia suggested. 

"No mum," David wavered his head sideways, signalling his objection to her suggestion. 

"I need to leave now immediately and don't forget about the meet up we discussed the last time I came here, I will email you guys the address," he acknowledged quickly and then, he stood up to his feet. 

"Alright, son," his mother smiled. 

"Hope the lucky girl is beautiful?" Mr Hendricks inquired and that elicited him a playful hit from his wife.   

"Why do you care?" She asked. 

"Are you jealous? I'm just being concern, huh? My son must bring someone extremely beautiful into the family, she will become the Hendricks pride dear," Mr Hendricks responded and Mrs Sophia rolled her eyes at her. 

"Whatever!" She grumbled, taking her green eyes off to the TV. 

"Okay, okay, that's enough now," David sing-sang as he took slow marches to the door and halt and turned swiftly to stare at the.. 

"...and please, dad and mum just do as I say, okay? I won't want her to grip a glint of anything about me, about US," David emphasised. 

"Just keep things minimal, huh?" David implored, clasping his palms jointly as he positioned it on his chest. 

"We have no issue with that, son. I and you father would do exactly as you say," Mrs. Sophia said and David signed gratefully. 

"Thanks dad!" he flashes as rushed towards his father to peck his  cheeks who in return, feigned a grimace and David chuckled at his reaction. 

"Thanks mum, can I see you outside for a moment?" He asked while performing the same kiss action on her and Mrs Sophia blushed sheepishly. 

"Yes son!" Mrs. Sophia nods, and then, she stood to her feet. 

"Are you both concealing secrets from me?" Mr. Hendricks inquired, scowling at them as they both walked towards the door which was made of ornate. 

"I wish, father," David sneered, Mrs Sophia giggled as she grips her son's hand and they both strolled out of the living room as they approached his car. 

The securities all bowed respectively on beholding the mother and son walking out of the house, David politely hauled a waved at them in acknowledgement of their unharmful greetings while they got to his car. 

"You said you want to have a talk with me, son," Mrs Sophia said, her eyes lifting up to gaze at her beloved son who was much taller than her. 

"Yes mum, it's about the girl I wanna bring over," David mumbled, and then, Mrs Sophia placed her left hand on his arm. 

"What is it about her?" She asked, her brows furrowed as she watched her son's countenance weakens. 

David was frightened and uncertain, he knew the specific family he originated from. He's scared of what his parent might do if they finds out about Rose's class. They might now approve her marriage with her but that doesn't mean he'd give up on her.

 Never. It's being her and only her and he'd fight to be with for she completes his whole as a man, she possess everything he requires in a woman. 

"Son? Is anything wrong?" Mrs Sophia called worriedly, she shook his arm which jostled him out of his deep thoughts as he squint's his lashes at her on extricating himself from his trance. 

"Nothing, mum," David wavered his head quickly. "Don't you worry, why don't you go in, huh? We will see soon," he told while leaning down to her face as he pecked her both sided cheeks. 

He pulled away from her, swiveled to his car and pulled the door. He  stepped inside, inserting the key to it's kernel which ignited the car into life as he drove out of the yard through the right bridle path. 

It would be best if he doesn't split it out the truth about Rose's class,  he'd patiently wait for things to turn out their selves. Besides, his parent promised him never to act irrational. 

Hehoped things would turn out lenient for him, he wouldn't want to lose Rose. The heavens knows he'd be in great grievant it that should happen. 

He's apprehensive, he's troubled, he could feel his tense heart palpitating rapidly than usual. 

Rose would be meeting up with his parent soon, tonight would indicate if she would be with him forever or not. Tonight.
