Dying in silence

“Darrel?, who are you?”he asked.

“I’m his friend so please let me in”I replied and he twitched a little.

“He didn’t tell me he’s expecting any guest but, wait here while I go inform him”he said and wanted to close the door but I stopped him.

“Stop. I didn’t tell him I’ll be coming over because it’s a surprise”I quickly said.

He scrutinized me again with his eyes before opening the door wider enough for me to pass through.

I walked inside and locked the door.

“Follow me”he said and started walking towards the house then I followed staring around his mansion.

His mansion is nice though.

I shrugged and when I noticed I’d been taking slow strides while staring at the house and the gate man was walking far ahead of me, I quickly ran after him.

We got to the entrance and he pressed the the door bell.

Minutes passed before Darrel opened the door.

“Wha…”he tried saying as he opened the door but stopped when his eyes traveled to me.

“Fontana?”he called, gobsmacked.

Darrel’s Pov

I had said those things to Fontana infront of her guards because I thought they would report to her dad about her coming to my place and her dad will probably stop her from coming to my house so my friends won’t get an opportunity to have sexual intercourse with her due to the bet.

I’d been thinking about what I said earlier and it also sounds stupid to me.

Why would I chose to use that method?.

Even if Fontana didn’t found a way to prove to her guards that I was joking, I Know pretty well that they can’t tell her dad because they will also be fired if he got to know they let his daughter out of the house without tailing on her.

And, even thinking of it right now, I realized I’d acted cowardly.

How can they report and highschool girl to her dad because she went to a boy’s house when she’s fitted to have a boyfriend.

I was cooking some noodles in the kitchen when the door bell rang.

Geez.

I walked over to the living wondering what the gate man want again.

“Wha…”I wanted to ask but stop when I sighted Fontana.

Huh?

What’s she doing here right at my doorstep?.

“Fontana”I called speechlessly then glanced behind her scouring my eyes for any signs of her guards.

Wait..

She came out without the guard again?.

“Can… can I come in?”she asked nervously and my eyes traveled back to her.

She was putting on an all – black outfit and she actually looked hot in that.

She snapped her fingers in my face and smiled.

“At least, let me in”she said and I quickly composed my self and opened the door wider.

I gulped down as she walked past me inside the living room.

“You can go”I mumbled to the gate man before whacking the door closed.

I turned around and met her scouring her eyes around the room.

“So, welcome. What would you like”I asked as I walked over to her.

“Uhm, I’ll just take whatever you gave me”she turned to me and shrugged.

“Okay, have your seat. I’ll be right back”I said and hurriedly left for the kitchen.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

I uncovered the pot and turned off the cooker when I saw the noodles is cooked.

I grabbed two plates from the rack and dished out the food.

I placed the plates on a platter and placed two spoons beside it then went to take a soft drink from the fridge.

I walked back to the food and placed the bottle down beside the plates then I carried the platter and moved out of the kitchen.

I walked back to the living room and met her watching the TV.

“So, I hope you like this”I said and placed the platter on the center table in front of her.

I took my own plate out of the tray.

“Thanks”she muttered.

She grabbed the tray and placed it on her thighs then took the spoon.

I watched as she took a spoonful of the food in her mouth.

Her eyes beamed and a smile crawled up to my face.

“You like it?”

“I love it”she smiled amidst munching.

“You made it?”she asked.

“Yeah”I nodded.

“I didn’t know you were a chef”she laughed and I smiled then took my own food and started munching on it.

There was silence as we just watched the film that was showing on the TV while eating.

“So, what are you doing here”I asked after a while.

“I was bored”she answered.

“Bored?”I repeated.

“Yeah, I was feeling boring at home so I decided to go somewhere and this place came to my mind first”she explained and gulped down the juice.

Oh.

She was bored.

“Okay, so, shall we do something fun then?”

She looked at me with a raised brow.

“Something fun?, what’s that?”she asked.

“Can you cook?”

“Nope, I’ve never even entered the kitchen”

“Are you serious?”I laughed and she glared at me.

“Let’s cook together then”I said.

“Hmm?”

“Don’t worry, I will be the one cooking but you are just going to be there to assist me”I expounded.

“Okay”she smiled and dropped the tray.

I was surprised to see that she’d actually finished up her food.

“Okay, that was my favorite”she said.

“Really?, I was amazed you finished up the food within minutes”I said and she nodded.

“So, I’m ready if you’re ready”she said and stood up then removed the face cap she was wearing and dropped it on the couch.

I smiled and stood up then placed my plate on the tray.

“Let’s go”I said and moved away with her to the kitchen.

“This is the first time I’ll ever step my foot in the kitchen”she chuckled.

“Hm, I am not that surprisement though. You will always be mummy’s girl”I said and she slapped my arm playfully.

“I’m not a mummy girl, okay?, so stop calling me that”she scowled and I laughed.

I walked over to the sink and dropped the plates inside.

I turned around and grabbed my apron from the hanger and put it on.

“What should we prepare”I asked.

“Uhm….. what about beef soup?”

“Beef soup it is”I nodded.

I walked over to the fridge and brought out the ingredients in making the soup.

“You’re going to wash the beef, Fontana”I said and proffered a bowl to her.

“Huh?, how is it done”she asked cluelessly.

“Just wash it”I replied and she rolled her eyes.

“So, where do I wash it”

“Right there in the sink”I pointed and she nodded and walked away.

I smiled and shook my head.

I took the other ingredients to the kitchen counter and brought out a pot.

I switched on the cooker and placed the pot on it.

I carried the palm oil and poured it in the pot then allowed it to fry.

Fontana walked over and dropped the bowl beside the other ingredients.

“Did you rinse it well?”I taunted.

“Of course”she rolled her eyes and folded her arms then glanced inside the pot.

“What are you doing?”she asked.

“This is the first step of preparing a beef soup”I replied.

“Okay”she nodded.

After the palm oil has fried, I poured the next ingredients in it.

“I’m jealous. How can you cook so perfectly”she mumbled and I smiled.

“Help me bring the beef”I said and she walked towards it.

As she proferred the bowl to me, she took a peek inside the pot and as I wanted to turn to her, out faced bumped into each other.

She looked at me and I stared back at her.

Then, it happened so fast but I find myself moving my head closer to her’s and then, I took her small lips in mine.

“What the heck?!!….”
