Mr Arrogant (Ând the strânge maidën) Episode 41.
Delaney’s pov
Okay, what the hell is wrong with this driver?
“Driver, why are you stealing glances at me and making funny sounds. Is there something on my face?” I asked, feeling quite uncomfortable with his behavior.
“No, no, ma’am.” He chuckled softly.
I rolled my eyes and focused on watching other moving cars.
“Yes ma’am. This is the place.” The driver replied.
He finally stopped where other cars stopped too.
Before I could alight, he already alighted and opened the door for me.
I smiled lightly at him and alighted gracefully.
“So, am I supposed to stand here or what?” I asked, as I surveyed the house.
Wow! Absolute breathtaking!
“No ma’am. You’ll just have to go inside, where the party is being hosted.” The driver replied.
“Oh! Okay.” I mouthed, suddenly feeling nervous.
The driver and I started walking towards the entrance of the house.
We hadn’t even stepped in when Brielle bumped into us.
“Oh my! I’m sorry.” I apologized as Brielle got back her stamina.
Her eyes suddenly snapped opened in shock as her eyes travelled around my body.
Then, she surprised me by bursting into an hysterical laughter.
I looked at my chest down to my toes and I didn’t see anything that’s making her laugh like an insane person.
What’s funny?
“Hey, why are you laughing?” I asked, feeling a little pissed.
“Oh, so sorry. Forgive my… Manners.” She chuckled– a mocking one.
“Really?” I scoffed sarcastically.
“What is wrong? Is there something on my face?” I asked and I was almost forced to hiss angrily at her.
“Why are you dressed like this?” She asked, with a glint of sarcasm in her voice.
First it was the driver and now, Brielle?
“What’s wrong with my dressing? If you don’t want me here, I will kindly leave.” I rolled my eyes and placed my hand on my waist.
“Thank you. I was starting to feel that I didn’t dress well or something was on my face that I didn’t know about.” I sighed and rolled my eyes.
“I was just teasing you. There’s nothing wrong in whatever you wore.” She smiled and placed her hand around my shoulders.
“You can leave now. I’ll just wait for Xavier and we’ll go home together.” I told the driver, who was standing and listening to us, all this time.
“Okay ma’am.” He bowed and left.
“Let’s go in then.” Brielle smiled and we both started towards the door.
“By the way, nice hat and canvas you got.” She smiled but she sounded sarcastic.
Just briefly that I’ve got to know her, I’ve come to know that she isn’t genuine.
Everything about her seems fake.
I forced a tight lip smile at her and nodded my head.
We finally got inside the bug house and I was really awed by the beauty of it.
The lights were dim and of different colours.
Loud music was playing in the background and different bodies were in the middle and every corner of the sitting room.
Most of the persons I guess, were my grade mates even though, I don’t really know most of them or even talked to them.
“So, welcome to my birthday party Delaney.” She giggled and removed her hand from my shoulder.
I didn’t reply her as my eyes roamed around the people.
I was searching for just one person and I couldn’t wait to set my eyes on him; Xavier.
I still couldn’t find him amongst the people and I wondered if he wasn’t here yet.
“C’mon, let me introduce you to my friends.” Brielle beckoned on me.
I breathed in and out and trailed behind her.
I noticed people looking weirdly at me, like I’m sort of weirdo or something.
There are attentions were suddenly focused on me and some of them starting giggling while others laughed out loud.
I suddenly felt embarrassed and at the same time, pissed.
What exactly was making them laugh at me?
Don’t I look pretty enough?
I’m sure there is nothing smeared on my face because, I had double checked my appearance before leaving.
So, why exactly are they laughing at me?
“So, Delaney, this is Jessica and she’s my cousin and she’s based in France but she came down here because of my birthday.” Brielle introduced pridefully with a smile.
I stared at the red hair girl who looks like an ostrich.
She wore a pair of glasses on and at just mere looking at her, I disliked her.
She was trying hard not to laugh as she eyed my dressing.
She whispered something I didn’t hear to Brielle and they both giggled.
“It’s nice meeting you Delaney, I’ve heard so much about you.” She laughed lightly and stretched out her hand for an handshake.
“Yeah.” And then, it occurred to me that she knows my name.
What the hell!
How did she…?
“How did you know my name?” I asked and stared intently at her.
“Oh! I’ve heard so much about you from Brielle.” She laughed nervously and took a quick glance at Brielle.
“So much about me? But Brielle and I haven’t talked very well.
We just met briefly and she invited me for her birthday party. So, how come she’s told you so much about me?” I inquired, baffled.
“Oh c’mon Delaney! You ask too many questions.” Brielle said and smiled.
She looked at Jessica and Jessica nodded her head and walked away.
Brielle left me to go attend to other guests and I was left alone.
I kept looking around to see if I’ll see Xavier but I still didn’t see him.
A man in a very decent dressing pass by with about three glass cups with water in it.
My throat was dried and I beckoned on him.
I took two glass cups from the small tray he was holding.
He looked at me weirdly and he was about saying something but he kept shut.
I ignored him and gulped it down in one goal.
It didn’t taste like water but it tasted sweet.
I licked my lips in relish and gulped down the second glass of the strange water.
Oh my! It tasted so sweet.
I suddenly craved for more.
Another guy dressed as the first guy came passing by too, with about four glass in his tray.
I beckoned on him and he offered me one of the glasses.
“I want everything.” I smacked my lips tentatively.
“Huh?” He asked, popping out his blue eyes like I’ve grown some strange wings.
“I want the four glasses. It really tasted sweet.” I laughed crazily.
“You’re sure ma’am?” He asked and stared from the water to me.
“Yeah. Give to me. It’s really so sweet.” I pouted.
When he saw there wasn’t any need arguing with me and we were about causing a scene, he gave me the tray, shook his head and left.
I clapped happily and chung down the first glass and then the second, third and the fourth.
My head was already heavy and I felt woozy.
I wasn’t aware of my surroundings any longer.
I’ve been caught up in traffic and that was why I was late.
Rio and Chelsea were beside me as we stepped into the house.
I noticed a gathering in a particular spot and I knew something was going on.
I walked hastily towards the gathering and to my greatest surprise, I saw Delaney.
She was dancing crazily even without any music.
Brielle tried to make her come down but unexpectedly, Delaney pulled her canvas and threw it Brielle– making it hit her hard on her forehead.
Brielle winced and backed away.
Delaney was saying gibberish and she looked waisted– obviously drunk.
She pulled her other canvas and threw at a bartender but he was quick to dodge it.
She laughed crazily and danced crazily on the table.
Brielle went towards the table with a bartender at the front.
The bartender tried carrying the cake away so it won’t fall but Delaney shook the table which made him move back.
I scratched my hair and thought of what to do to make her come down before she’ll fall the cake.
Brielle stylishly went towards her and before she could carry the cake, Delaney puked on it.
Eww, gross!
The people gathered all gasped loudly as they stared at the already ruined cake.
“What the fuck! Come down!” Brielle cried out.
A guard was able to hold Delaney. And as they were about bringing her down, she tilted her head, laughed and puked all over Brielle, from her hair down to her shirt!
What?
Let’s see if anything Brielle planned for Delaney would still be carried out
Mr Arrogant (Ând the strânge maidën) Episode 42
“This is grosss!” Brielle cried out as she stared at her stained dress of Delaney vomit.
Delaney laughed crazily and stuck out her tongue mockingly at Brielle.
The guard brought her down and immediately, she passed out.
Who the hell gave her what she drank?
Why would she think of drinking so much if she can’t possibly hold her liquor.
Geez, this girl is unbelievable.
Brielle groaned angrily and stomped out of the scene.
I trailed behind the bodyguard and I told him to take her to one of the spare rooms in the mansion.
I don’t want to take her home because I wasn’t ready to go home and I don’t want anything bad to happen to her if she’s alone.
So, it’s better she’s in this mansion and when I’m done having fun to the fullest, we’ll both go home.
She thinks she’s gonna ruin or cut short my fun in this party, then, she’s absolutely wrong.
The bodyguard carried her into a room and when he’d finally laid her on the bed, I took one quick glance at her. But then, my eyes caught with her outfit.
Oh my gee!
I bursted into a loud laughter while the bodyguard joined me as we stared at the sleeping Delaney.
I clutched my stomach tight as I laughed hard.
I don’t even know the last time I laughed so hard like this.
She’s one hell of a girl. Seriously.
Who in her right senses dress like this in this twenty– first century?
Obviously a crazy girl called Delaney.
Delaney won’t stop surprising me with her character.
I can’t believe she actually left the house dressed like this and came to the party.
Almost every character she protays is really strange and annoying.
Argh!
And why does she always go about causing one ruckus or another?
She’s always causing a scene anywhere she goes.
It’s really becoming excess and I think I have to put in more effort in teaching her.
She really needs to learn fast and stop acting like a girl from the bush, it’s really annoying.
I sighed lowly and left the room.
I was damn so furious that I felt like pulling Delaney’s scalp off.
How dare she?
I fell so irritated thinking about her vomit on my body especially my hair that I spent a lot, trying to make it look perfect.
She ruined my cake too!
Damnit!
“Calm down Brielle.” Brianna sighed softly and placed her hand on my shoulder.
“You’re telling me to calm down? How do you expect me to f*cking calm down after getting such humiliation?” I rasped angrily and glared daggers at her.
“You just have to relax okay? Calm down!” Blair said and stood beside me, with her hand on my shoulders too.
“I can’t f*cking calm down! That girl humiliated me!” I rasped angrily.
“You can’t entirely blame her Brielle, she wasn’t in her right state of mind.
She was obviously drunk!” Brianna snapped.
I turned and walked to my bed.
I bent my head and I was almost in tears.
The humiliation was too much– something I’ve never experienced before. In front of so many guests and grade mates of mine.
“Yeah. I think the second plan is just perfect.” Blair grinned.
“Yeah. We are in this together.” Brianna smiled.
We high–fived and giggled.
Just you wait Delaney, you’re gonna regret ever humiliating me, that I promise you!
Her moans were like music and it only made me fasten my pace.
She clutched tightly on the wall and moaned out loud.
“Oh yes… C’mon… Ah, oh!” She continued to moan as I f*cked her without mercy.
I feel my climax reaching and I fasten my pace.
“Oh my Xavier! I’m going to come!” She gasped out breathlessly.
I smacked her butt while she moaned out.
I spilled inside of her and pulled out of her.
She giggled and breathed in heavily. She was perspiring but she had a look of satisfaction on her face.
“That was great Xavier!” She smacked her lips, wearing her mini skirt on.
“Yeah.” I shrugged perfunctorily.
I stared lustfully at her big boobs that stood firm and stared at me.
I fondled with her boobs and sucked them hard.
She moaned and ran her hands through my hair.
I pushed two of my fingers into her honeypot while she winced lightly.
“How about another round?” I asked huskily.
“You never get tired do you?” She asked with a smirk.
She nodded her head and bit her lip seductively.
Without any warning, I pushed her against the wall and shove my hard erected d*ck inside of her already dripping honeypot.
I groaned and tossed on the bed.
I wasn’t in anywhere familiar.
And then, I tried recalling what had happened.
I remembered drinking that sweet water and feeling light headed.
I was feeling different and I wasn’t myself.
The last thing I remembered was me dancing on top of a table I don’t even know how I got there.
Gosh!
I got down from the bed and started towards the door.
I opened the door and walked out.
I can’t even feel my head.
I heard loud music coming from downstairs and I guess I’m still at Brielle’s.
Did I pass out?
I got to the sitting room and saw just few persons dancing, others talking and all that.
They weren’t that few but they were not as many as when I first came in.
The people in the sitting room suddenly turned towards my direction and started whispering things I couldn’t hear or understand but I knew they were talking about me.
They pointed at me and looked at me scornfully.
What did I do?
Why can’t I remember if I did something bad?
A what?
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. What did you call it?” I asked, finding whatever gibberish she said, strange.
“A swimming pool.” She grinned.
“I’m sorry but I’m not interested.” I said politely.
“But Xavier is there.” She smiled.
Xavier?
Speaking about him, I’ve really not seen him and I do really want to see him.
And without thinking twice, I blurted out, “take me to him.”
She took me to a very beautiful place and I saw a wide place with water inside.
The day was already dark but the light shone brightly outside, making it less dark.
“This is the swimming pool.” She smiled and before I could reply her, she already ran off.
Huh?
The coast was clear.
Did that girl actually lie to me?
I turned around to leave but a hand grabbed me forcefully by my arm.
The persons face wasn’t showing and the person was wearing an all black clothes.
“Hey let me go!”I blurted out and tried to free myself from his tight grip.
And before I could say jack, I found myself inside the swimming pool; the anonymous had pushed me in.
I gasped loudly as I tried to come out but I couldn’t.
My head was going down under the water and no matter how hard I tried to bring my head out, I couldn’t.
Who’s gonna save her?
Mr Arrogant (Ând the strânge maidën) Episode 43
“Damn it! Why don’t you just kill me huh? I’ve been working since the dawn of this day and my back hurts.
I’m tired already!” I cried out.
Mom shot me a stern look and clutch tightly on her bag.
“Don’t dare me Alicia, I don’t want to come home and you haven’t done what I asked you to do.
Do you go to work to be able to feed everyone in this house?” She snapped and rolled her eyes.
“But I’m tired mom. I haven’t even rested or eaten something good. I ate just cheese and milk since.
C’mon mom, I’m tired. I’ll just finish the work tomorrow.” I grumbled loudly.
“You’re doing the work today and not tomorrow. If you want to eat dinner and sleep peacefully in this house, then do as I’ve said and quit being grumpy and lazy.” She eyed me.
“I’m off already.” She said and without waiting for my reply, she dashed out of the house.
“Oh God!” I groaned angrily.
“Fcking sits!” I cussed angrily and kicked my legs in the air.
Mom wouldn’t even give me a break. From one work to another.
First, she deprived me of going to Brielle’s birthday party. Then, she made me clean up the dusty store room.
The clothes were so many that I got a sore in my hand.
I washed the toilet and bathroom. I dusted every dusty furniture in the house.
I don’t know if she’s doing it on purpose to keep me from not going to the party.
But seriously, I feel so weak already.
Making grumbling sounds and ranting cusses, I made my way to my room.
I plonked myself on the bed and exhaled deeply.
I looked around my room and it was scattered. My bed wasn’t in good shape and my clothes in my wardrobe wasn’t arranged.
I looked around my room and all I felt was anger.
Eish! Where do I even start from?
Oh God!
I arranged my room and then, proceeded to the sitting room. The sitting room wasn’t really dirty and so, I wasn’t having much to do.
I swept and scrubbed, removed things that weren’t supposed to be in sitting room and kept them in their right place.
I wiped the small television clean and then, I proceeded in removing the cobwebs hanging lazily on the ceiling.
I cleaning the dinning room too and scrubbed the floor clean.
Tired and energy drained, I walked lazily to my mom’s room.
I began from arranging her littered clothes that were almost everywhere in the room and placed them neatly inside her wardrobe.
I removed the cobwebs too.
I arranged her bed and placed a new bedspread on the bed.
I dusted every furniture in the room and then, I proceeded to her drawer.
I sighed tiredly and brought out all the papers.
But suddenly, a picture fell off from one of the papers.
I dropped the papers and picked up the picture that had fallen face flat on the floor.
I turned the picture and my eyes surveyed curiously at the picture.
The way they had posed, they looked so much in love with each other.
The guy’s arms were around mom’s waist, holding it firmly. Mom’s arms were on his shoulders and she had a sweet smile on her face, likewise the guy.
They both looked perfect together.
I looked closely at the picture and…
Wait!!!
I could….I could get a little resemblance, a little recognition.
I walked up to her and she didn’t even spare me a side glance.
I got outside and following where the noise was coming from, I got to the swimming pool area.
Students were there and gasping and talking hurriedly.
I strained my eyes and then, I saw a student trying to stay afloat.
I smacked my lips and arranged my clothes properly and rinsed my face. I fixed my hair again and after taking a good look at myself, I walked out of the restroom majestically.
“Two students are drowning.” I heard a girl telling her friend.
They were so many students around and I was damn surprised.
Oh my!
What the….f**k???
“Rio??” I called out and without thinking twice, jumped inside and pulled Rio out and thank goodness, he was still concious.
What the hell happened to both of them?
I dived in back and brought out Delaney.
She was unconscious already and her breathing was so low.
I panicked as I pressed her chest, she spat out only little amount of water.
I did that for some seconds and she still didn’t open her eyes. She looked pale already.
“Delaney! Hey, Delaney!” I called and tapped her, but there was no response.
Oh my God! What do i do?
Wait, does that mean that I’ll indirectly kiss Delaney?
I sighed and ruffled my hair. I closed my eyes, held her noise and then, placed my lips on hers.
Mr Arrogant (Ând the strânge maidën) Episode 44
Xavier’s pov
I removed my lips from Delaney’s as soon as she coughed out water.
She weakly opened her eyes and stared intently at me, looking rather confused.
I stood up and helped her seat up.
“What happened to me? Why am I drenched?” She asked as she stared at her wet clothes.
She was all soaked and her hair was plastered all over face, making her look like one of those possessed people in movies.
“Well, you dumbly fell into the pool.” I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes at her.
“Huh? I didn’t fall into the pool myself. Someone pushed me.” She creased her eyebrows.
“Wait, what? Someone pushed you?” I asked and scoffed.
“Yes. But I couldn’t see the persons face. The persons face was covered.” She groaned lightly.
“That’s unbelievable. It’s just your imagination. You fell into the pool and you assumed someone pushed you.” I huffed.
“I’m not assuming, I’m very sure. I was pushed into the swimming pool.” She defended.
“Okay. But who would want to push you into the pool?” I asked.
“I know you wouldn’t believe me, so just forget about it.” She snorted.
“Get up, let’s get you dried up else, you’d catch a cold.” I offered nicely and stretched out my hand for her to use as support to stand up.
“Thank you.” She smiled.
“Thank you buddy.” I told Rio as the three of us walked towards the car.
“It’s fine dude. I just couldn’t watch her drown.” He shrugged and patted my shoulder.
“Thank you Rio, you tried to save me even when you don’t know her to how to swim. Seriously, I’m grateful.” Delaney smiled appreciatively.
“It’s fine Delaney. You’re like a family to Xavier and Xavier is my buddy, so it’s nothing.” Rio laughed lightly.
We got into the car and the chaffeur drove off.
“Cheers!” They chorused with smiles on their faces and we clicked our glasses together.
“Oh my goodness Brielle.” Brianna giggled excitedly and drank from her wine.
“Yeah, our plans worked and I’m sure she’d probably have drown by now, all thanks to Jessica for carrying out the plan.” I giggled and drank from my wine glass and smacked my lips together.
“We’re going to check out what happened few minutes from now. Let’s see if her stomach is already bloated because she drank too much water to death.” Blair laughed.
We all laughed and poured wine in our glasses again.
“But seriously Brielle, I’ve been wanting to ask you this question since the very day you decided to hurt Delaney.” Blair started, looking all serious.
I dropped my wine glass and paid full attention to her.
“What is it Blair?” I asked.
“Why did you ever think of harming Delaney because of Xavier? What about Chelsea, is she not a threat to you in getting Xavier? Why didn’t you think of hurting Chelsea but Delaney?” Blair asked and exhaled.
“Nice question Blair. An intelligent question.” I beamed.
I’m just excising patience and thinking of how to eliminate her and have Xavier for myself.
I want to get rid of the weak ones. So, if Delaney’s out of my way, I’ll fully focus on getting rid of Chelsea.” I grinned proudly.
“Wow Brielle, you never told us about this idea of yours.” Brianna chuckled.
“I’m smart right? I know.” I giggled and winked at them.
“I definitely get your point. You’re always so smart.” Blair smiled and nudged my arm playfully.
We raised our glasses up and clicked it.
“So mom?” I called calmly, still chopping on the vegetables.
“Hum?” She answered, her attention on the meats and fish she’s washing.
“Mom? I have a question to ask.” I gulped nervously and stopped chopping the vegetables and turned to stare at her.
“What is it Alicia? You’re looking all serious.” Mom sighed and rinsed her hands.
I brought out the picture from my pocket, looking so nervous.
“I found this in your drawer when I was cleaning it up this morning.” I gulped nervously and handed over the picture to her.
Her face dropped immediately and her face was devoid of emotion.
Her hands shook as she stared at the picture. A tear slipped down from her eye and landed on the picture but she was quick to wipe it away.
She had a stern look and dropped the picture on the counter.
“Who’s that man mom? Is he my father?” I asked the question that has been on my mind since I saw the picture.
I’ve been restless and been thinking endlessly.
“What kind of a question is that?” Mom snapped and glared at me.
“It’s just a question mom. And mom, is he not Chelsea’s dad; the man we bumped into at the mall the other day?” I further asked.
“Stop asking me questions Alicia! That guy you saw in that picture was a close friend of mine and nothing more.
And when the time comes, I’ll tell you about it.” She said and walked out of the kitchen.
“Finish the cooking!” She yelled, so I’ll be able to hear her.
“Okay mom.”
What if Chelsea’s father is my father too?
The pains I thought might have gone years ago were still there in my heart. It resurfaced and this time, more painfully.
We were a happy couple. We were happy together but everything ended within the twinkle of an eye.
We were so much in love with each other and we were happy together.
I fell for his sweet-talks and I loved him with everything I’ve got but what at the end, what did he do to me?
He left me shattered and heartbroken.
I sobbed quietly and held the picture close to my chest.
“Okay mom, do take care.” Alicia smiled and pecked my cheeks.
“Alright, bye.” I kissed her hair and made for the door.
We waved at each other while I walked out of the sitting room and closed the door.
As I stood at the bus stop waiting for the next bus, a car suddenly drove past me but it came back and stopped in front of me.
I stared at the car and the tinted windows were rolled down and I got a clearer view of the person.
“Clarissa?” The woman called and I stared intently at her.
Wait, she does look familiar.
“Don’t you know me Clarissa?” She asked and alighted from her car.
She removed her sunshade and walked closer to me.
She had a huge smile on her face.
“Wait, Joanne?”
Mr Arrogant (Ând the strânge maidën) Episode 45
I wasn’t drenched and soaked like I was when I just got out from the swimming pool. It got a little dried as we made our way home.
“It’s nothing mom.” I shrugged.
“You can’t say you being wet from your hair down to your toes means nothing. What happened? There wasn’t rain today, so how come?” She asked worriedly.
I chewed on my bottom lip and looked at Xavier for help.
“Well, she fell into the swimming pool at the celebrant house.” He scoffed.
“Huh? How did it happen?” She rushed her words breathlessly.
“An anonymous pushed me into the swimming pool.” I mumbled, but clearly enough for her to hear me.
“What? Who could that be?” She asked and placed her hands on her waist.
“I’ve got no idea.”
“And you won’t believe it mom, she almost got drown. But Rio and I were quick to save her.
She’s lucky I got to know on time else, she’d have drowned.” Xavier said and rolled his eyes.
“You don’t know how to swim?” She asked, with her eyes almost popping out from it’s socket.
“No.” I shook my head negatively.
I lowered my gaze to the floor, feeling guilty.
“I’d be in my room mom. And don’t forget to ask Delaney all about the party.” He said sarcastically and without waiting for his mom’s reply, he jogged towards the stairs.
“Delaney, go freshen up already, so you won’t catch a cold.” Xavier’s mom smiled lightly at me.
I nodded my head and turned to leave but her gasped made me stopped walking.
“Oh my God Laney! Did you dress like this to the party? And where are your shoes?” She gasped.
“She’s crazy mom. Only a girl like her that would still dress like this in this twenty– first century.
She looked funny in them.” Xavier suddenly laughed.
Eish! Her voice was too loud and now, Xavier is gonna tease the hell out of me.
“Son, I thought you were already in your room.” She said and stared up at him on the stairs.
“I was almost there but your gasp made me take just few steps backwards.” He laughed.
“And don’t forget mom, you might need to employ someone that will take her lessons on dressings. Seriously, at this age she can’t dress properly.” Xavier laughed and before his mother could say something, he already ran up the stairs.
I sighed and stared down at my feet.
“We need to talk Laney, a lot.” Xavier’s mom said sternly while I nodded like a drenched puppy and trailed behind her as she walked away.
“Oh my goodness, it’s really you Joanne!” I exclaimed happily.
“Nice to see you again Clarissa.” She beamed and we both hug briefly.
“It’s been so long Clara.” She smiled and ran her eyes all over my body.
Wow! She looked so pretty and she screams wealth.
“You don’t look bad yourself. It’s been so long.” She smiled.
“Yeah.” I said with a faux smile.
She looked rather sophisticated and I wonder how she became this wealthy from the last time I saw her. She’s really changed.
“Why don’t you get into my car so I’ll drop you at your house and we can talk better along the way.” She suggested.
I pondered over it for just some seconds before I shook my head negatively.
“There’s no need for that Joanne.” I declined politely.
“Oh!” She mouthed disappointedly.
“Okay, how about we exchange contact?” She asked.
“Yeah, sure.” I agreed without any reluctancy.
“Okay.” She nodded.
She went to her car and took her phone and came back to me.
We exchanged contact and bid each other goodbye with pecks.
She was simply clad in a gown that stops just on her knees and her wasn’t wet and it was packed up freely.
She doesn’t look pale and she looked refreshed.
“What do you want?” I asked grumpily.
“Why are you always grumpy? You look mean when you grumble and speak rudely at me.” She pouted and walked to my body.
“If that’s a compliment, then thanks.” I said sarcastically.
“Okay, I’m here because of something.” She fondled with her fingers, looking like a cute innocent baby.
“Okay, go on. What is it?” And this time around, I didn’t speak grumpily or rudely, just plain.
And as if she noticed it, a big smile curved on her lips.
“Well, why did you put your lips on mine when you brought me out of the swimming pool? What does that mean?” She asked.
“I don’t understand what you mean.” I lied, denying that I didn’t remember.
There’s no way I’m going tell her that, that was kinda a kiss.
And I almost forgot, the last time I checked, she doesn’t know the meaning of kiss, so I’ll just go by it.
“When I woke up, I noticed that your lips were placed on mine and I knew it was that action that saved. So, what exactly is it?” She asked.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Me, I placed my lips on yours, how?” I insisted that I don’t remember.
“Like this.” And before I could process that word, I felt her soft lips on mine.
What?

Xavier’s pov
I didn’t know what to do at that moment– should I reciprocate the kiss or disengage from it?
Her lips were so soft on mine and I really longed to kiss her mercilessly. But, I don’t want to take advantage of her naivety.
I pulled my lips away from hers and placed my hand on my thumping chest.
I felt really confused. Why didn’t I take the opportunity to kiss her like I’ve always wanted?
And why did she have to put her lips on mine?
Really, I felt guilty because, she wouldn’t have kissed me if I hadn’t pretended to her that I didn’t know what she was talking about.
Even if I wanted a kiss from her, then it shouldn’t have been this way– because she’s unaware of what she just did.
“Why did you do that?” I asked, trying to sound stern but my low voice rather betrayed me because it came out low and not stern.
“I… Wanted you to remember what you did to me and I want you to tell me exactly what it means.” She said lowly and bowed her head.
“It’s something you’re not supposed to know. And let me give you a piece of advice, don’t go about placing your lips on others, so you won’t get yourself in trouble.” I huffed and rolled my eyes.
“You can leave now.” I ordered and pointed towards the door.
“But Xavier…” She whined but I shushed her shut.
“Why are you being too inquisitive Delaney? It’s bad you know? It’ll only land you into trouble.” I reprimanded her calmly.
“Okay, I’ll just get going now.” She mumbled and started towards the door.
She turned to stare at me briefly, before walking out of my room.
“Argghhh!” I groaned and plomped hard on my bed.
I stared up at the ceiling and touched my lips, reminiscing on how her lips felt on mine.
I smiled lightly and licked my lips, remembering how those soft lips felt on mine.
Truth be told, I really wanted to kiss her back so badly, but I just had to restrict myself.
I shouldn’t take advantage of her naivety. Even though, I’m kinda grumpy and arrogant, I still have a concience.
But seriously, I really need to get that brief– should I call it a kiss or…?
I sighed and snuggled into my blanket and buried my face in my pillow.
When will I eventually make him to stop being mad at me?
I’ll be of my best behaviour and I’ll avoid making him angry with him.
Now thinking about it, I need to do something so he wouldn’t be mad at me anymore.
The plan I’ve got, I pray it works out perfectly well.
I’m gonna make him smile and who knows, he might even hug me and I’ll really love that to happen.
I need to plan this out perfectly so I won’t make any mistake.
My makeup were everywhere including broken glass objects.
As I tried to go back to my bed, my feet came in contact with the broken glasses and I had to winced painfully.
“You’re only gonna end up hurting yourself so bad.” Blair said calmly.
I yelled angrily, ignoring the piercing pain on my bleeding foot.
Tears rolled down my cheeks as I stared into space.
I was so eager that I felt nervous as we approached the pool side.
To my utmost dismay, I was told Delaney was saved by Rio– though he couldn’t swim, and Xavier who actually made her concious.
They had left together and I was greatly pained.
Brielle doesn’t accept defeats and I’ll definitely get to her again– I had promised myself inwardly as I seethed in anger.
I felt really bad that Xavier was there to save her, just when my plans were already going out smoothly.
Why didn’t she just drown, so I can wholly focus on getting rid of Chelsea?
Let’s kill two birds with one stone.” Brianna smirked as we sat on my bed after she had tended to my injuries and wrapped a plaster on it.
“How do you wanna go about it?” I asked, finding the idea really brilliant.
“Just watch me put a call across Chelsea and we’d talk. You’ll hear our discussions and I’m very sure that she wouldn’t reject such offer because I noticed that, she doesn’t like Delaney.
And as for the three of us and especially you, you don’t like the both of them. It’ll just be exactly killing two birds with one stone at the same time.” Brianna laughed.
“Seriously Brianna, you’re so smart.” I beamed happily at her brilliant suggestion.
“Okay, go ahead.” Blair and I chorused together ecstatically.
She took her phone from the bed and scrolled through her phone.
She clicked on Chelsea’s number and within just few seconds, the call went through and it started ringing.
Arrogant (Ând the strânge maidën) Episode 47
I nodded my head with a shy smile, “yes ma’am.”
“Then, what you have to do is very simple. You’ll write a letter to Xavier, telling him how sorry you are and also, you’ll tell him in the letter that, you wouldn’t try to make him angry again.
Just write something nice and polite too, that would put Xavier in a good mood.” She grinned widely.
I listened to her with rapt attention.
“And also, I have another idea.” She whispered with a mischievous smile.
I really do want him to forgive me and not stay mad at me. I’m ready to write the letter too.” I pouted, feeling guilty because of how my character and clumsiness had made Xavier angry.
I feel guilty because I know I’m making him angry with my character.
“Xavier’s mom smiled at me and held my hands in hers.
“Xavier loves a particular chocolate bar. You’d get it for him and attached it to the letter. He’d be pleased, that’s for sure.” She smiled.
“Huh? What’s a chocolate bar?” I asked. I mentally applauded myself for pronouncing the words correctly.
“Huh? You don’t know what it is?” It was her turn to look dumbfounded.
“No. I don’t know what it is. I haven’t heard of it before.” I said truthfully.
“Really huh? There are so many things you don’t know.” She laughed.
“Okay, I don’t know how to explain it but it’s more like a kind of sweet, not really a sweet though.
I don’t really know how to explain it. But it’s what we eat, but it isn’t a food but a snacks; more like a junkie.
But since you don’t know it, I’ll get it for you myself. And make sure you construct the letter properly, tonight.
I’ll get the chocolate tomorrow and before Xavier would go to bed tomorrow, you would give it to him.
And make sure you try your possible best to also be of good behaviours and not make him angry.” She said and patted my hair.
I had actually wanted to have a quick nap but the sound of my phone ringing tone, stopped me from doing so.
It was an unknown number and I seriously didn’t want to pick up the call, but another part of me wanted me to pick it up and I did.
They are bullies and we aren’t friends. Though they are classy, I still don’t like them and I don’t mingle with them too.
And why the hell is one of them suddenly calling?
“Okay? Why did you call?” I asked sarcastically and rolled my eyes.
“What about Delaney?” I hissed, feeling pissed at the mention of Delaney’s name.
“I know you don’t like her Chelsea and my friends and I don’t like her too. So, I have come up with a sweet offer for you that you would be happy with and you wouldn’t want to reject it.” She said and I became more curious.
“What’s the offer Brianna?” I smirked.
They’re gonna have all the blames while I will go scot free.
Mr Arrogant (Ând the strânge maidën) Episode 48
She wouldn’t talk to me including grandma– she wouldn’t talk to either of us.
I suddenly felt sad and guilty because perhaps, showing her the picture brought back bad memories.
I’ve never seen mom being sad and withdrawn the way she is presently.
She’d go to work in the morning before even grandma or I would even be awake and return back at night when grandma and I would have gone to bed.
She barely eat and the day I had gotten to fortunately meet her before she left for work, she already emaciated and she looked pale too.
What’s eating mom up, that I don’t know.
Do you have any idea what exactly is wrong with her?” Grandma asked worriedly as we sat on the dinning table eating dinner without mom.
I cleared my throat and drank a little from my water, before turning to look at my grandma.
I know there’d be no use lying to her. She needs to at least know what I think has to do with mom’s recent behaviour.
I might not be entirely right about mom acting that way because of the picture, but I think it has to do with that picture.
There’s something she isn’t telling me and I won’t force her about it.
“Well grandma, two, or three days ago– can’t really remember exactly when, I wanted to clean mom’s dusty drawer and in the process of bringing out some papers, a picture fell off.
I picked it up and it was the picture of mom and a man– I think I know, or maybe I’m sure he is the one, the way they had posed and held themselves, I could tell instantly that they were probably lovers.
The guy actually looks just like my grade mate father mom and I bumped into some weeks back.
And when mom returned back home, I confronted her but she was angry.
I asked her if the guy was my father but she was really angry.
She took the picture with her and left the kitchen.
And that was it. Since then, I think she started being this way because of what perhaps the picture held– the memories.
I feel sad grandma, because I’m the reason mom’s acting this way.” I explained and bursted into hot tears.
“Shuu Alicia, don’t blame yourself. If really perhaps the picture has to do with your mom’s recent behaviour, she’d definitely come around.
Don’t feel sad because you didn’t do anything wrong.” Grandma cooed and walked to my seat. She wrapped her arms around my neck: behind me and kissed my hair.
“Thank you grandma. I feel at peace a little because of your kind words.
I just hope mom would come around because I haven’t seen her this way before.” I sniffed in my tears and wrapped my hands on her arms around my neck.
“It’s okay, stop crying and eat your food.” She patted my back and went back to her seat.
I nodded my head and went back to my meal, but this time, I didn’t have much appetite, I just forced myself to eat it.
*
“I’m sorry mom, I’m really sorry if I made you angry because of the picture I showed to you. I don’t like seeing you like this.
I missed your lively self. I’m really sorry.” I apologized, with my hands clasped together and with a sad puppy face.
“I’m not angry with you Alicia. And I’m sorry for shutting you out because of something that didn’t really worth it.” Mom smiled and pulled me into a big hug.
He’s nice and he joins us to eat during lunch.
Chelsea still glares at me and this time around, I noticed her smirk has grown wider.
She always wore this triumphant look anytime our gazes lock.
But she’s the least of my problems. I do t give a damn to her.
After closing, Xavier said he wanted to ride with Rio because they would be going out. I was left alone to go home with the driver while Chelsea went home with her car.
As the driver drove me home, I left my mind to wander around because the ride was boring with no Xavier to steal glances at and watch him secretly operating his phone.
I thought of the birthday party.
The incident at the pool, I’m very sure someone pushed me but why?
I didn’t even know if the person was a male or female and I couldn’t get even a glimpse of the person.
I took my bath and wore the clothes that were already placed on my bed.
A short– as Xavier’s mom had called it and what I think it’s a tank top.
I packed my hair in a loose ponytail and went downstairs.
After eating lunch, I got super bored.
Xavier wasn’t home yet neither was his mom home yet too.
I decided to go out of the house for a while and return back.
I suddenly thought of what happened the other day I went out alone, but the boredom wouldn’t allow me to stay in such a huge house alone.
I got outside the house and I started walking, heading to wherever my mind leads me too.
Mr Arrogant (Ând the strânge maidën) Episode 49
(Semi – final)
She isn’t like other girls that would flock around you like bees.
She’s totally different and you should hold on to her tightly before she’d be snatched away from you.
You should put aside your grumpy attitude and bring out that nice personality.” Rio smiled– but I knew he was damn serious.
I don’t really get why he’s suddenly advising me concerning Delaney when he doesn’t believe in relationship and love– just like me.
“Why are suddenly concerned about how my relationship with Delaney is? It’s none of your business if I’m being grumpy to her or being rude.
And just so you know, she’s not my type.” I scoffed and chung down my whiskey.
He shook his head and glared at me.
I stared around the the tall big houses and also big cars.
This route is definitely different from the route I took when I went out the other day.
I sighed softly as I continued to gaze around.
As I continued to walk, I took my gaze to different directions– not really paying attention to the direction I was headed– not as if I’ve got any direction in mind.
“Hey! Watch where you’re going!” I heard a loud angry voice and before I could turn to see who the angry voice was referring to, I already bumped into someone.
My mouth flew opened in shock as I stared at her spilled items on the floor.
Most of the items were already ruined and it littered the whole floor.
I didn’t really know all the items but I still know a few.
A can of milk was already bursted and it’s content already spilled on the floor.
An apple which was already divided into two parts because of maybe how hard it fell.
Other items I didn’t know we’re on the floor.
“Are you blind? You’ve ruined my stuff’s and you’re gonna pay for it!” The woman, who I had spilled her items, yelled angrily at me.
We were already causing a scene and I was so scared.
I didn’t even have any money on me to pay.
She looked angry as she stared at me.
I gulped down nervously, “please ma’am, I’m sorry. I wasn’t watching were exactly I was going to and I’m sorry I made you drop your items so hard on the floor that most stuff’s got ruined.
“Your filthy sorry wouldn’t be enough! You’re gonna pay for the damages you caused.” The woman snapped angrily and gripped me roughly by my arm.
“But ma’am, I don’t have any money with me to pay for the damages I caused you.” I begged politely.
“I don’t care! You’re gonna call any of your guardians or parents!” The woman yelled and it took her patient for her not to have smack me hard on my face.
I sighed and thought of what to do.
Xavier’s pov
“Seriously mom? Again? What the hell is wrong with that girl?” I rasped angrily over the phone.
“Please son, I’m not done with work and I want you to go help her out, please.
The woman already explained everything to me and it’s just for you to pay her back. And bring Delaney home.” Mom sighed.
“Okay mom. I’m doing this because of you.” I grumbled lightly.
“Thank you son, I love you.” She made kisses sounds.
“Love you too mom.”
I hurriedly got down the stairs with my keys with me.
I got to the garage and went for my motorbike.
I wore my helmet and climbed on it, I ignited it and drove off speedily along the road.
Mom already texted me the place Delaney and the woman were.
I’m so gonna deal with that girl!
Mom’s gonna take her out of the house today and it’s final!
She should go back to where she’s from.
She’s given us more headache and caused us nothing but trouble.
Gosh!
I wonder the planet she fell from that she’s always acting annoyingly.
He looked angry and I had to bend my head in guilt.
I felt so foolish.
He talked briefly with the woman and paid for the damages I made.
He started walking away and without being told, I hastily walked behind him, with my chest thumping loudly out of how nervous I felt.
Xavier really looked dangerously angry and it scared the hell out of me.
Or will I be sent out of the house?
I was really worried and tried my best to think optimistic.
I actually had Xavier’s mom number off head, Xavier’s mom asked me to learn it because of what happened the other time.
And I was glad I remembered it and then, I gave the woman the number and she put a call across Xavier’s mom but she assured me that she’s gonna send Xavier to come help me because she was still busy.
“Xavier…” I called but his burning glare made me keep shut.
I looked at what he had gotten on top and I was confused.
This was totally different from other cars I’ve seen
What kind of a car is this?
“Won’t you climb on it? Or you’re gonna just stand there looking liking a fool.” He rolled his eyes.
I was so confused as I continued to stare strangely at the car but this car was opened and it isn’t as big a the car at the house.
“C’mon Delaney, hurry up and climb in.” He groused angrily as he carried what looked like a calabash and wore it on his head– a beautiful calabash.
“Where should I seat?” I asked.
“Seat on my head!” He snapped.
“On your head? But if I seat on your head, how will you drive your opened car?” I asked, perplexed.
So, Delaney wants to really seat on Xavier’s head?
Mr Arrogant (Ând the strânge maidën) Episode 50
(Finale)
“You seat behind me, here.” I touched the seat and she just nodded.
I showed her the way to seat on it and she did, but she looked scared at first, but later, she was about to climb on top of it.
“Hold me firmly around my waist so you won’t fall off and don’t even think of removing your hands else, you’re gonna fall off.” I told her, sounding stern, so she knows that it’s not just a mere spoken words but words that is supposed to be obeyed.
“Okay.” She mumbled.
I got on top of the motorbike and her arms got wrapped around my waist and her body pressed against my back.
“I didn’t bring my spare helmet, I forgot. So, you’ll just manage and I’ll try my best not to go too far.” I sighed as I wore my helmet.
“What’s… An helmet?” She stuttered.
“That’s what I’m wearing.” I grunted.
I started the motorbike and I noticed her grip around my waist tightened as we drove along the road.
“Oh my Xavier! This feels just good!” She giggled excitedly.
“Really huh! You prefer more to a car?” I yelled, so she could hear me because of the breeze.
“That’s good to hear that you love my motorbike.” I said and smiled lightly to myself.
We entered into the house and Delaney had a guilty look on her face.
I had almost forgotten that I was still angry at her.
Mom was already at the sitting room and she looked seriously worried.
“Oh my goodness Delaney!” She gasped as she got closer to Delaney whose face was bent in guilt.
“I’m sorry mom, I didn’t mean to.” She sniffed in her tears. I was almost forced to huff.
She’s really dramatic and she’s good at acting very well too.
“You have to stop leaving the house without anyone accompanying you okay? It’s dangerous out there and you might not get lucky next time.” Mom reprimanded.
“Okay mom.” Delaney said and this time, her eyes were on mom’s.
“And son, thank you.” Mom beamed and hugged me.
Perfect! Just when I was thinking that she wouldn’t acknowledge me.
“It’s okay mom. At least, she’s safe.” I smiled and hugged her back.
She grinned and patted my back.
“C’mon Delaney, I got something for you.” Mom smiled and held Delaney’s hand and before Delaney could say anything, mom already started for the stairs, taking Delaney along with her.
I laughed softly and walked towards the kitchen.
Gosh! I’m so tasty.
It was a little bit heavy and I guessed that there’d be something inside.
Curiously, I started opening the box.
I finally opened it and…
What? Wow!
I brought out a beautiful phone just as big as Xavier’s own– it was the same but the colour was the only difference.
“Do you like it? It’s yours.” She smiled.
I screamed happily and hugged her tight, feeling grateful.
“Like? I love it! Thank you so much mom, I’m really grateful. I’ve always wanted one and now, I’ve finally gotten one.” I squealed elatedly.
“It’s okay Delaney, I think you really need it. At least, you would stop going out when you’re bored.
Come closer, let me teach you how to operate it.”
She dropped the TV remote and turned to face me.
She looked really serious and I was curious, wondering why she suddenly called me, sounding so serious.
“You know, since the day you showed me that picture and asked about your father again, I’ve been feeling so guilty.
It’s been years already and I asked myself why hide the truth away from her? She deserves to know the truth.
I feel like a selfish mom for hiding the truth away from you, for not telling you about your father.
You deserve every right to know who your father is, and I’m sorry, I didn’t tell you all these years.” Mom expound with tears rolling down her cheeks.
I didn’t say anything but stare blankly at her.
“Your father…” She gulped down nervously and held my hands in hers.
“Your father was the guy you saw on the picture and he’s still the man we met at Mall the other day– Jerry.” She said, with her voice almost barely audible.
Her voice quivered and she broke down in tears.
I removed my hands from hers and stood up from the couch and stared at her, finding it hard to assimilate what she had just said.
“Mom, are you being serious right now?” I asked and scoffed.
“I’m sorry I kept it away from you.” She sobbed.
“So, Chelsea’s dad is my dad?” I laughed, like someone going crazy.
“I’m sorry.” She tried to reach out to me but I moved backwards.
“How mom? What happened?” I broke down in tears too.
Gosh! I still felt so dizzy.
I yawned and stretched on the bed and was about getting up when I felt something beside me. I looked and discovered it was a piece of paper.
I picked up the paper, opened it and the writing I’d found in it almost made me laugh.
What the…..
This is definitely Delaney..
I smiled as I went through it.
Oh! It was an apology letter. And it read:
*Dear Xavier.
“I’m sorry for always making you angry.
“It’s really not intentional. Your world is just too difficult for me to understand.
“I hope you can forgive me, Xavier.
“I want us to be friends”
The writing was so big, they covered the entire page.
Gosh!
I smiled and fell back on the door, being amused by the letter.
Hmm. Pretty naive lady.
I went to the kitchen and decided to brew coffee for Delaney and I, as a token of appreciation for the chocolate.
I made the cups of coffee just perfect, the way I like it and I’m sure, she’d love it too.
I placed the two cups on a tray, and as I made to carry it, Delaney walked in already dressed for school.
Is it me or is Delaney not looking more beautiful and bright this morning?
“Good morning Xavier.” She smiled shyly and got to were I stood.
“Yeah, morning Laney.” I smiled back at her.
“Uhm Xavier, I guess you saw the letter and chocolate I sent to you?” She twitched her lips, looking nervous and it made her cute.
“Yeah, I did. And thank you for the chocolate.” I said softly–I was even surprised at how cool my voice sounded.
“Xavier, I’m really sorry and I hope you wouldn’t stay mad at me again.” She pouted and clasped her hands together.
“It’s fine Laney, I’m not mad at you anymore.” I said, sincerely.
“Thank you Xavier.” She squealed elatedly.
“It’s fine. Here, I made you coffee.” I told her and handed one of the coffees to her.
She looked at the coffee to me and her lips curved in a smile.
“Thank you.” She said and collected the cup of coffee.
“You’re welcome.” I smiled at her, took my own coffee and walked out of the kitchen, leaving Delaney with her flushed cheeks.
WATCH OUT FOR SEASON 2....
