Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 50

____________________________

“Good night Harold” Irene cut him short and got to her feet.

“I hope you have a good night rest” She said before walking out of the libr@ry with her eyes laced with tears.

Two Days Later..

“Wow!” Damien jumped around the living room of their new ap@rtment.

He was amazed with the work of the house decorator,he smiled happily as he checked out their new furnitures one after the other.

The ceilings were at least ten feet high in the living room and the dining room,the fan was circling lazily on the ceiling, moving little air but the living room was relatively cool.

There’s a fireplace too.

The ap@rtment has three rooms and Damien couldn’t wait to check his out.

He was so satisfied with the work of the lady. that he alre-ady started picturing himself all over the house.

Irene walked in with her luggage and was wowed too.

Although,the decorator had s£nt the picture to her but the pictures that was s£nt to her did no justice to this beautiful ap@rtment.

Everything is exactly the way she wanted it.

Cool and adorable.

“I should go check out my room” Damien said gr-abbing the cardboard box containing his books.

He really wish there’ll be a shelf in his room.

If there isn’t, then that’s the only thing he’ll miss about his old room.

“Your room is the one in the middle, mum’s on the left and mine on the right” Irene said.

“Okay sis” Damien grinned, walking towards a p@ssage.

“I’ll check out the kitchen” Irene said after him.

“Okay” Damien shouted as he located his room.

He pushed the door open and gently walked in.

“Woah” He beamed.

His be-droom was decorated in shiny brown satin with curtains to match the be-dspre-ad and furniture.

He dropped his cardboard box on the be-d and perceived the fragrance of exotic flowers, he walked to the window and saw the view of a garden…

“Wow!” He screamed in excitement.

He never knew there was a garden in this house.

He’s so excited about it but he doesn’t know if the garden belongs to one of their neighbors and they probably won’t allow anyone in there.

The caretaker hadn’t mentioned they could use the garden, it must belong to someone who doesn’t like sharing it..

Well..he’s glad he can be seeing it from his window anytime he wants.

He turned around to continue checking out his room.

Simple and fascinating to look at.

The colour’s cool and calm plus the room is quite cozy.

“Yes!” He shouted excitedly when he sighted a shelf.

He quic-kly started arranging his books in there.

“Damien,let’s go get other things” Irene said outside his door.

She was satisfied with how the kitchen looked too.

“Have you checked your room?” Damien asked.

“Not yet, we nee-d to go offload the van,the driver is waiting.

“Ohh… okay” Damien said.

“I love my room! Damn!” He said excitedly to Irene as they walked out of the door.

“I’m glad you do” Irene smiled.

“Thanks for the shelf, thanks for everything ” Damien said.

“I know you’ll definitely nee-d a shelf for your books and i thought of bringing in your old one but you’ve been using it for years and it’s starting to creak even though you never complained”

“What are you going to do with our old furnitures?” Damien asked as they packed inside.

The driver helped them this time too.

“I’m going to sell them” Irene said.

“Ohh..that’s fine then” Damien said.

“And… don’t in any way disclose our new home address to anyone okay?”

“Okay sis” Damien said and they walked outside to pack more luggage.

***

“The house is finally set, i can’t wait for mum to see it” Damien smiled as they ate dinner.

They got back to Harold’s house in the night,tired.

It was a whole lot of work than they had thought but they were glad everything is set.

“You’re sounding so happy like you badly want to leave here and won’t miss me when you leave ” Ivory said sadly to Damien.

Damien’s eyes turn somber immediately,he hadn’t even thought of that. All he had being excited about was his new home.

Damn! He’s freaking gonna miss ivory and this house.

“Ivory,

i am going to miss you so much, I’m just so happy because i now have a new home which is lovelier and better than the old one, come here V” Damien drew her close and she bur-sted into tears, hvgging him ti-ghtly.

Damien looked helpless and all he could do was gently rub her back.

Harold sighed,he had st©pped eating.

He thought Irene was the only one who’s in Ivory’s good book,he never thought Damien is now involved too.

“What are we gonna do?” Irene asked Harold worriedly.

“And she mustn’t cry to sleep or she’ll fall sick” Harold said unhappily, pushing his food away.

“Then we nee-d to do something to make her happy before she sleeps” Irene said.

Harold sighed, watching his crying daughter.

“You both will be going to school in the same car and be dropped in your houses when school is over, you’ll get to be seeing Damien everyday that way. Eric will be picking Damien at his house and you both will be going to school together okay?”

“Okay Dad” Ivory sniffed and Damien cleaned her tears with tissue.

What Harold said seemed to have consoled her cause she was now smiling and eating her food.

“That means we’ll have to change your car to a bigger one” Harold said.

“Yes Dad, color purple” Ivory said with a mouthful of apple pie.

“Of course,i wouldn’t have gotten any other color ” Harold said.

He had been initially planning to get Damien a car and a driver that’ll be picking him up to school and dropping him at home but Ivory changed his plan.

“And

we’ll get to do your arithmetic homework in the car” Damien smiled to Ivory who nodded.

Irene walked out of Ivory’s room after putting her to sleep.

She should also go to her room throu-gh the adjourning door but she’s feeling so thirsty after re-ading ivory four be-dtime stories.

She nee-ds to get a gl@ss cup of water from the kitchen before she goes to be-d.

Two b©dyguards walked behind her, Max and the other b©dyguard was on shift.

“Hey!” She heard behind her and turned.

She alre-ady knew it was Harold.

She st©pped going to the libr@ry at night from the day she made things clear to him and it’s now like they’re avoiding each other.

“What’s up? Where to?” Harold asked.

“To get water” Irene said.

“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” She added.

“I guess I’m used to staying up late in the libr@ry” Harold said.

“That’s where you’re headed?” Irene asked.

“No, i c@m£ out of my room after i heard Ivory’s door open”

“Ohh” Irene said.

“Goodnight” She added as she started walking away.

His eyes does magic to her b©dy and she doesn’t want to keep staring at him.

They’re not good together or rather,she’s not the perfect lady for him.

She was aware he followed her down to the kitchen.

The b©dyguards stood by the door of the kitchen while Irene poured water into a gl@ss cup. Harold stood staring at her and she sighed uncomfortably.

Her cheeks were starting to heat up and she was f0rç£d to ask him what he wants.

“I want you to hang out with me tomorrow” He said.

“Hang out? You won’t be going to work?”

“Yeah”

“Ohh” She gulped down her water.

“So, why me?”

“I don’t know” Harold shrugged. He missed her and he wanted to spend some time with her alone, she has been avoiding him and it’s starting to kill him slowly.

“plea-se, don’t refuse. I un-derstand we can’t be in a ro-mantic relationsh!pbut are you against friendsh!ptoo?” Harold asked.

“No”

“So…will you go out with me?” Harold asked with pleading eyes.

“Yes” Irene smiled inwardly.

She really wants to be alone with him too, she missed him so much.

Harold parked the car and they both got out.

They are both on their outing without no b©dyguard and of course Harold was using his shades and face cap.

She

was putting on a sheepskin coat in a cream and brown color and good looking black boots with jeans and sweater.

Harold had told her to dress warm.

She wondered where he was taking her.

He stretched out his hand and she hesitated before placing hers in it.

She was stunned to discover they were walking into an airport.

They walked up to his plane,it was hvge.

She stared at the plane before facing him.

“W..wha.. wher..” She stammered.

“Chill” Harold laughed.

“Where are you taking me?” Irene asked.

“I thought we’d go to Vermont for the day, there are some beautiful walks, pretty inns where we can have lunch, we’ll be back this afternoon” Harold said.

“Ohh,i hope it’s not sooo expensive?” Irene asked.

“Com’on” Harold said.

“Okay” Irene finally smiled…

She’s so excited.

She still looked stunned as she walked up the stairway to Harold’s plane where a purser and a stewardess waited to welcome them.

The captain and copilot had clearance for take off and said they’d be leaving in few minutes,as they sat down in the big comfortable seats.

A few minutes later, they took off and the stewardess served them breakfast.

The breakfast was delicious, they both had scrambled eggs, blueberry muffins, cappuccino. Harold had black coffee instead of cappuccino though.

They both chatted on the brief flight and they landed in Vermont two hours later at an airstr!p near a tiny village.

“Wow!” Irene exclaimed with a smile.

The leaves were orange and red and yellow.

The pilot had rented a car for them that was waiting when they landed so they could drive around alone.

They got into the car and Harold started driving to where only him knows.

Irene was obviously excited as she squealed like a kid.

Harold felt so happy he made her smile.

He parked the car at edge of a forest,and there was a small lake with swans on it.

Irene smiled as they both got out.

It was chilly, autumn had alre-ady come to Vermont, it wasn’t as cold yet in San Francisco.

“Let’s sit” Harold said, spre-ading a little mat he had gotten from the car.

“Woah” Allysia smiled as she stepped out of the plane with Mrs Marshall.

They were back in San Francisco!
