Dave POV
I just left from Hilton's home. I don't really know why he was grounded but at least I have his number now.
His father, on the other hand, was acting weird. He behaved differently with me today. I mean that, this is the first time he has behaved this nice to me. I think something's fishy.
Oh well, I don't have the time to think about all these things right now. I have to get to work.
It's a good thing that Hilton's father didn't waste me time.
I reached home before Mr Charles could arrive to pick me up. My mother called me on the phone but u didn't pick. I walked into the house instead.
"I was just calling you. How did it go?" She asked.
"It went well." I replied.
"Was Hilton's parents there?" I only saw his dad. He is the one who gave me Hilton's number and told that Hilton wasn't allowed to see anyone since he is under punishment." I replied.
My mother was about to ask another question but Mr Charles arrived and was already horning for me to come outside.
"I have to go now mother. I will see you later in the evening." I said.
"Okay son. Goodbye." She replied.
I left the house and went into Mr Charles' car.
"Ready for another day at work?" He asked.
"As always sir." I replied.
We zoomed off.
We didn't really talk to each other during the whole drive.
I was expecting him to ask me all about yesterday but he didn't. He just behaved like it wasn't on his mind to ask. Or maybe he just didn't want to behave too nosy.
"So, how did it go with Mr Adams yesterday?" He finally asked.
"It went well." I replied.
"Really? What happened between you two?" He asked.
I told him about everything that happened yesterday including about the house Mr Adams said he would come to talk to my mother about.
Mr Charles suddenly stopped the car.
"What!?" He exclaimed.
"Yes sir. That's what happened." I said.
"Are you seriously serious?!" He asked in great surprise.
"Yes sir, I'm telling you the truth." I replied.
"Nothing like this has ever happened before. Are you sure you didn't charm him or something?" He asked.
"No sit, I didn't. He did all that on his own." I replied.
"Wow. This is the first time Mr Adams is showing this part of himself. You are truly something special boy." He said.
"Okay... Thank you." I replied.
I felt on top of the world but at the same time I felt like something very bad is going to happen very soon. After all, when someone does all this then they must surely want something in return. Right?
Mr Charles continues to drive to the company and we finally reached. I waited for him to park his car and we went in together as usual.
Everybody's eyes were turned to us immediately we entered the company.
"Why are they looking at us like that?" I asked Mr Charles in a whisper.
"They aren't looking at us. They are looking at you." He replied.
"Huh? But what for?" I asked.
"I don't know for sure but maybe it has something to do with the house Mr Adams promised you. That's the only thing I know that will make the employees here know about your closeness to Mr Adams. Since no one was there with you and him in the restaurant." He explained.
"I can't believe Mr Adams is giving out one of the company's houses to this newcomer." I heard someone whisper.
"Yeah. I've been here for two years and I got nothing as a gift." Someone else whispered.
"He is just an errand boy and just look what boss gave him." Someone added.
"I didn't know people gossip a lot in this company." I said to Mr Charles loud enough for them to hear.
I felt that I needed to say something as well so that they won't think I'm someone they can bully, and of my that response I indirectly to said them gave me a whole lot of satisfaction.
I went to my desk and sat down and so did Mr Charles.
The staring stopped after some time and everything went back to normal.
Hilton POV
It's so boring sitting here at home. I just want to go out and breathe in some fresh air.
I guess I can't do anything about my parents' decision to put me into a university abroad. I've decided to just accept it. I'll be gone by tomorrow morning and I'll really miss my best friend, Dave.
I don't care if I'm grounded. I have to give Dave my number anyhow.
He must have gone to work a long time ago already. I'll have to give it to his mother. Yes, she will definitely pass it to him for me.
Hilton's mom POV
I was watering just driving back from shopping when I saw Hilton sneaking out of the house. He didn't see me yet and I planned on keeping it that way.
Hilton took a cab and left. I, on the other hand, followed from behind. I made sure not to go to close so that he wouldn't notice me.
The cab stopped at Dave's house and I stopped just a bit far from it.
I don't know why he had to take a cab. Dave's house really isn't far from ours.
He was probably trying to be quick about whatever it was he was planning to do. I came down from my car as he came down from his.
He entered the house and I made sure to stand at a position that I will hear clearly.
"Good day madam." Hilton greeted.
"Good day Hilton. What can I do for you? Dave isn't home right now." Dave's mom replied.
"Well, madam. I came here to give your my number so you can pass it to Dave when he comes back." Hilton said.
"Pass your number? But your father already gave Dave your number." Dave's mom said.
"It must have been fake. My dad doesn't want me near Dave at all." Hilton said.
"Okay. Give me your number and I will pass it to Dave." Dave's mom said.
"You will not give her your number Hilton." I said, coming out of my hiding.
"Mom! What are you doing here?!" My son, Hilton yelled in surprised."I am here to stop you from making the worst mistake of your life." I replied."Madam please calm down." Dave's mother said."Stay out of this woman." I said to her."Hilton, I will not stand aside and watch you ruin your future with this woman's son. Go home now!" I said in anger."Please leave. You can't just come into someone's house and start laying insults." Dave's mom said to me."Yes. I am leaving. And I am doing so with my son! I won't leave him here with your distraction of a son." I said."Get out!" She replied."Please mom let's just go. Please stop saying hurtful things to her. I'm tired of hearing all that. Please." Hilton begged."Let's go son. I've had enough of this stinky place." I said and dragged my son out.This won't be the last she'd hear of me.Anna PO
Dave POVIt's another new day. Although I'm kind of upset that Mr Adams postponed the day he was supposed to transfer us to a new house.Oh well, who am I to oppose? It's not my money and it's not my house."Good morning mother." I said to my mother immediately she woke up."Good morning son. You're getting ready for work already?" She asked."Yes mother. I'm afraid I might not have time for breakfast today because I don't think I have enough time to go and buy it." I replied."That's why I am your mother. Don't worry. I'll get it for you." She said."Thanks a million." I replied.She left the house and went on her way as I continued preparing.Anna POVI'll definitely not let my son go to work on an empty stomach. Not when I know that there is enough money for food.That reminds me. What about his boss? He was supposed to come yesterday wasn't he? I gue
"Hello. I would like to speak to Hilton if you don't mind." I said."Sorry but that's not possible. You see, Hilton won't be able to speak to you from now on." The voice said.It was then I recognized the voice to be that of Hilton's father."How can this be sir? I asked you for Hilton's number but you gave me yours instead." I said."You will never be able to reach my son again. Now he can finally be successful without you disturbing his life. He has traveled abroad and you will never see him again." Hilton's dad said."But... What have I done to deserve this?" I asked.He didn't answer. He just cut the call.I felt so shattered. Hilton is my best friend. How could his parents be against our friendship?Hilton's mom POV"Do you have it with you?" I asked."Yes madam. I have it right here." He replied."Where? Let me see." I said and he
Anna POVI saw my son standing outside watching a car drive away."Dave? Why are you back so soon?" I asked him."Mother!" He yelled and ran to me. He hugged me tightly and started crying."What happened Dave? Did you get fired?" I asked, hoping he didn't."No mother. These are tears of joy. Mother our lives have changed for the better." He said."Really? How? I mean, what happened?" I asked anxiously."Mr Adams." He said and my heart skipped.What did that useless man tell him? What did he do that has my son excited? I just hope it doesn't involve me cause I don't have anything to do with drunks."Mother! Are you even listening to me?" He asked and I flinched."Yes, yes, I'm listening." I replied."Okay. As I was saying, Mr Adams, my boss," He started and I breathe a sigh of relief.I can't believe his nice boss has the sa
Adams POVI was waiting for the lady to pass by at the usual spot I expected her to.I got bored of waiting and decided to walk around a bit, hoping to maybe bump into her.Then I came across Dave's house and decided that maybe I should check if Charles has taken them away. Charles just arrived and I watched what he was doing.He spoke some things to Dave before they decided to leave.This is the point I got the greatest surprise of my life.I saw the beautiful lady in question, coming out of Dave's house.How could it be? So she is Dave's mother? Look at the way she looks so young and beautiful. My mouth fell open.One would never expect that such a woman would have a son the age of Dave.I saw Charles look at me before he could enter his car. I'm sure he must be wondering what I'm doing here.I don't blame him anyway. If I were in his shoes
Dave POVI stretched wide on my bed. It's been a long time I've slept on such a comfortable bed. I went to my mother's room to check if my mother was awake yet.Yes, you heard me right, my mother's room. We now have different rooms of our own."Good morning mother." I greeted as I opened the door."Good morning son. Why aren't you prepared for work yet?" She asked."There is still a lot of time left." I told her and pointed at the clock."Oh. Yes, you are right." She said.I got some money from the back I kept it in and went back to my mother's room."Mother, what should I buy?" I asked."Don't worry about that. I will handle it. Just start preparing for work." She said."Okay mother. I said and gave her the money.She stood up and took the money with her
I was done with eating breakfast and I went outside to meet Mr Charles. I don't know what but it seemed to me that something just isn't right. Mr Charles is just behaving weird since today.I entered the car with him and he started the car.While he was driving u glanced at him for a moment. He looked like be was thinking about something. It was just as if he was planing what next to say to me and how to say it. I just didn't know what it was."Sir?" I said."Huh? Yes? What's the matter?" He replied.Something is definitely going on here."Um nothing sir. I just thought that. I mean... You look so distracted." I replied."It's nothing Dave. Say. How about we continue our little chat?" He asked."Okay." I replied, not wanting to stress him any further."Okay. What was it I ask
Anna POVI followed the man said to be called Francis. He stopped at a room that I think is meant for trying on clothes."Aren't these clothes too revealing?" I asked."Of course not. They are a perfect fit." He replied.I tried the clothes on and they were a perfect fit but for me it's just too short. I came from behind the curtains and Francis said the clothes are perfect for my structure.Now, I agree that I have a very good shape but it's really not something I want to brag about or show off.Although I really didn't want to take all those clothes Francis chose but I did at the end after much persuasion from him.I came out with the clothes in packages and Mr Charles paid for everything.We left the boutique and he drove me home. He left after dropping me at the gate to my home.I went inside the house and noticed that I forgot to lock the door and after some thin
