Allison wasn't given a moment to react because the over joyous grandma already pulled her into a bone crushing hug. The whole family just sat there looking at them in stupefaction. This was a first. Calvin had a woman?Allison didn't like that Calvin introduced her as his woman in front of his family but she couldn't help but smile at the woman's joyful mood. She found it contagious."Grandma let her breath." Calvin said chuckling. Everybody was taken aback again because they haven't seen him laugh so freely in a long time."I'm so sorry dear. I'm just so excited" She said and pulled away "You are so beautiful.""Thank you grandma. You look beautiful too and I love your hair." Allison replied"Oh really." The old lady squealed like a child."Calvin! It's like you are forgetting something." They heard someone say from the table"Father." Calvin said turning to him and gave a small nod. He also turned to the woman sitting beside him which Allison assumed to be his mother and did the sam
Calvin woke up in the middle of the night to find the little lady shivering slightly in the sofa she stubbornly insisted to stay. She was obviously cold and she didn't cover herself. He felt like carrying her to the bed but he knows that she might be angry when she wakes up. She wasn't even using a pillow and she didn't look comfortable.He took one pillow from the bed and the blanket he was using and walked over to her. He raised her head gently and placed it on the pillow carefully so he won't wake her up. He then spread the blanket over her, making sure it covers all part of her body except her face. He tucked her hair behind her ear so he could see her face better and just stood there looking at her sleeping face. She looked so peaceful and cute that he felt like pinching her cheek.He stood there watching her and smiling for a while, cherishing the moment, he felt that they staying together was an opportunity for him to get close to her and he was going to make good use of it. S
The dining table was surrounded with a lot of people. Some of which she didn't see the previous day. Grandma was seating at the far end of the table with Calvin's parents besides her. Leo's mother, Leo and his sister was seated opposite them. Calvin and Allison were seated beside them. A pretty woman was seating opposite them with a teenage boy, a smaller one which Allison guessed should be able ten years old and a toddler which she also guessed will be about six years old. A girl and boy which looked her age were seated after them.The breakfast was quiet except for a few talks that the adults throw to themselves occasionally.Allison was eating peacefully until she saw a spoon full of food in front of her face. The crazy guy was trying to feed her and she had to comply. She opened her mouth reluctantly and took the food. She also didn't fail to take note of the piercing eyes all around her. Everyone seemed surprised at the scene of Calvin feeding a lady, but he didn't care at all. I
Immediately Calvin and Allison got to their room, he immediately cupped her face and looked at her worriedly"Don't listen to her Allison. She's just bitter.""I wasn't really paying attention. We're not a real couple after all, so I shouldn't feel threatened. She is right about me being poor though.""You might not have money but you are better than her. I really don't care about your background Allison, I really don't. I don't care what people think or say about you. You are perfect just the way you are." He said with concern vivid in his eyes. "I shouldn't have left you alone there."Why was he talking as though he really care about her and the look in his eyes wasn't meant for just a friend. Why was his words affecting her in ways she didn't want? Why did he become so caring overnight? Wait! Was this devil by any means falling for her? No, that shouldn't be it. She quickly shook her head as if di
Allison woke up due to the sound of a door closing. Then she heard footsteps walking over to her."You are awake princess." She blushed at the way he addressed her."Where did you go?" She asked."I didn't leave.""I heard the door close just now.""That's the door to the restroom.""So what were you doing here all through?""I was looking at you."Allison felt her face turn a bright shade of red. When did this guy become this cheesy?""How long did I sleep?""Roughly three hours.""Shit! you have been watching me for that long?""mm." he hummed in response."Why?""You look beautiful when you sleep and I could watch you all day and not get bored.""Stop it." Allison said blushing.
Calvin felt rage again when he heard another vibration and he checked it and saw that it was from the same sender. 'I really messed up and I am sorry, just give me another chance and I promise to make things right'.Calvin stated at the phone angrily, he felt like smashing it, he would have done so if it wasn't Allison's. Jealousy was eating him up. Why was he so jealous? Does he expect her not to have had someone? He didn't even think about that before. What if she was dating someone before he forced himself on her? What if she was forced to break up with her boyfriend because of him? Maybe he has caused her more pain than he knows.Calvin didn't know how long he lay there, feelings all sorts of fluctuating emotions, each fighting for dominance; jealousy, self hatred, sadness, anger. He didn't even realize that Allison was already in the room. She looked at him for a moment wondering what made him look so gloomy."Hey,"
Calvin and Allison have been driving around town for the past one hour with Calvin making sure that she enjoys every moment of the ride. He sat, driving behind the wheel, while she is on the passengers seat laughing and dancing to the music playing. After driving for a while longer, the car came to a halt in front of a mall. Allison turn to him with questioning eyes."Let's stop here for a while," he told her softly."Oh, okay."Calvin came down from the car and walked around to the other side to open the door for Allison, but she already came out."You should have let me get the door for you," he complained."That isn't necessary. Besides there is nothing wrong with my hands," she defended herself.Calvin just sighed and stretched his hand to her, she put her hand on it without hesitating. He smiled at that, happy that she no longer found him repulsive.
Calvin sat on the sofa in Leo's room while Leo sat on the bed facing each, they were staring at each other. They have been like that since Calvin entered Leo's room. when Leo finally got tired of the awkward silence, he spoke up."Don't tell me you came here to just look at my face. I know I am handsome though but there should be a more serious reason."Calvin still remained quiet making Leo's impatience overflow."Speak now you bastard. I don't have all day to spend with you," he said getting irritated. This cousin of his makes him want to commit murder sometimes.Calvin still didn't say anything and Leo sighed in defeat. He should probably just forget about him. Just as he stood up to walk out, Calvin finally spoke."I want to protect Allison."The annoyed Leo turned to him with a frown. "Was that too hard to say?" After glaring at him for a while, wishing he could
