LOVE AGAIN

DANIEL confessing



Nevermind, you can take it”

“Sir?”the lady asked, confused.

For the first time in my life, I advised myself to be calm and not let my anger control my actions.

I drew a deep breath with my eyes closed, the lady watched in awe.

“Thanks”.

I collected it from her and gave her a soft smile.

“Anytime, sorry can I get a picture?”the lady requested.

I nodded , she came over to my side and took a selfie , I had to squat a bit to get into the frame.

“Thanks so much sir”.

I smiled back then corner eyed Val, she was cleaning Daniel’s lips.

**VAL’S POV**

“Dan you are a clown, seriously”.

I laughed after cleaning the stain off his lips.

“You are a good lady Val, and pretty too”.

“Stop with the flattering please “.

I blushed, with an aggressive eye roll but the moment

I looked up, he was still staring and smiling at me.

“Daniel enough with the staring already”I pouted and hit him tiny on the chest.

He smirked and shook his head.

“So tell me the truth, why didn’t you come to work today?”

I sipped my drink and was about to answer, then my eyes went to the other side.

I saw a tall guy who stood out in the crowded queue, there’s only one person that height reminded me of….

He turned around, my eyes widened. I wasn’t wrong at all, that’s Mr Prince!

I quickly slid down my seat and hid under our table.

“What are you doing, Val?”Dan asked confusedly, with a glitter of amusement in his eyes.

“Shhh it’s the boss”I whispered, biting my finger nervously.

“Where?”He turned around to look.

“Don’t look!! hide your face! If he sees you he will know we are together”.

I snapped angrily.

“Why should I? Val, you will always embarrass me. Can you please get up, he doesn’t own you, I am here with you so what’s the big deal?”

Why is he being so stubborn!

“Ma’am is everything okay?”

A waiter asked after he approached our table when he noticed me hiding under the table.

Dan was covering his face shamefully.

I looked and couldn’t find Mr Prince, he must be out of the eatery. I laughed awkwardly and got up from under the table.

“Yes, I dropped my spoon but here it is!”

“Okay”the man said with a face that said otherwise then he left.

“What’s that for?”

Dan asked, laughing.

“I lied that I was having cramps and it was so painful I couldn’t even go to work, imagine seeing me enjoying myself here”I sighed and sipped my drink.

He burst into a louder laughter

“Don’t laugh!!, you are embarrassing me”I snapped.

“But hiding under the table is not embarrassing?”he laughed again.

“I am out of here, before he comes back”

I took my bag and stood up.

Daniel held me.

“At least let’s finish our drinks, I will walk you home Val”.

I looked at him still nervous about Prince returning to this place.

“Let’s go now please Dan”,

He nodded.

I smiled at him, I waited impatiently as he paid for our dinner then returned to me.

He asked for my hand, which was unusual but I didn’t mind. It was dark and the street lights looked beautiful and romantic. It’s been a while since I was walked home by a man holding hands.

Ever since I broke up with Luke I don’t take night work anymore. We saw many couples holding hands, kissing by the road side and others.

I felt so nervous, I could tell Daniel was staring at me. I was shy so I decided to lessen the tension with a brotherly and sisterly conversation.

“So beautiful isn’t it?”

I started a conversation.

“What?”he replied.

“The lights Daniel, it kind of reminds me of when I and Luke were together”.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

I replied sadly.

“Oh I didn’t notice those, I was staring at you, you are more beautiful”.

I blushed a little.

“I am going to tell my sister -in-law, she will certainly give you a week silent treatment”I teased, i do refer his girlfriend as sister in law sometimes.

“She left me”.

He replied without hesitation.

I looked at him in shock, he never mentioned his break up to me, he caught my gaze and smiled at me.

I was so troubled about his breakup, but I was too embarrassed to ask him why she did that. He is a good man , why would she break up with him?

We got to my place, I know we had only a short time together.

“I don’t understand Dan, why would she do that, you are a nice man and ….”

He let go of my hand and stepped in front of me then turned to me, that look on his face made my heart beat faster, I wonder what must be going on in his mind.

“Close your eyes I have a surprise for you Val”.

“A surprise?”

He smiled softly and nodded, I stared at him, the tension is something I have never experienced with him before.

I pouted in annoyance then closed my eyes.

“Alright Dan, my eyes are closed”.

Just a brief moment of silence then suddenly he snapped out.

“What are you doing here?”

I opened my eyes in surprise and saw him staring at me like he saw a monster. Maybe not me actually , but someone behind me, I took a step back and hit my back on a hard body.

Alarmed I opened my eyes wifely , with a slow turn I looked up and found Mr Prince towering at my back.

I shined my 32 awkwardly.

“Boss?”

He was staring at Daniel coldly the same way Daniel was staring at him. I don’t know what to do about it.

“Val..”.

Daniel finally said something before I could reply.

Prince pulled me to his body with a mighty hand as a protective belt across my underarm to my shoulder like a safety belt.

“She’s with me now, go home Daniel”.

I tried to get out of there but it was impossible! Seriously, what’s his hand made of, steel!
