Chapter18

Dylan Parker

"Hey mom."

"How are you?"she asked looking worried.

"What's wrong mom?"

"Are you alone..where's that secretary of yours?"

"Yes, it's Emile mom...I thought you liked her at the party.

"I did until I found out she as something to do with Jason."

"Oh.."

"You knew..Dylan!"she yelled my name.

"It's not what you think."

"She's obviously here to spy on you and report back to that rascal."

"She is not like that...she won't do that."

"Don't tell me you have fallen so blindly for her?"

"Mom,this time things are different,I swear."

"Anyway,that's not why am here."

"What happened?"

"Your father is requesting for you."

"Why? and Since when are you guys in talking terms?"

"He's a changed man now Dylan."

"How could you fall for that again mom,he's using you to get to me."I yelled.

"He misses you and this time I can tell he's sincere."

"Why is he requesting to see me?"

"He didn't say,he just said its urgent."

I groaned.

"Where's he?"

"Germany,there's a plane ready to take you to him."

"How long am I staying?"

"He didn't say but with the look of things your going to be staying for a long while."

"What's really going on mom?"

"Go See for yourself,I will be taking my leave now."

"I love you mom."

"And about that Emile girl,be careful."

I nodded.

"I want you on that plane by tomorrow."she said before the elevator door closed.

_____

Having coffee with Emile*

Emile was blabbering about something but I wasn't paying attention.

"Are you okay?"she asked looking concerned.

"Yes,of course! You were saying something about your mom and her new boyfriend."

"You weren't even listening...what's wrong Dylan?"

"It doesn't concern you."

"Okay...sorry just trying to help."she said and focused on her coffee.

"We should get going,it's getting late."I dropped the check on the table.

She nodded and grabbed her coat.

We walked out the coffee shop*

"Don't worry about me,I will take a taxi home.."

"Your staying with me tonight."I said and unlocked the car.

"Okay."she got in.

____

"I will be leaving for Germany tomorrow to see my father."

"His he okay?"she asked looking concerned.

"Am not sure."

"How long are you staying?"

"As soon as am done with whatever he needs me for."

"Okay."she whispered.

"Will you be okay?"I could tell she wasn't trilled about me leaving.

She nodded.

"Am going to bed." She got up and ran upstairs.

"Emile...."I called but she didn't answer,I didn't think me leaving will make her this upset.

I followed her

"What's wrong?" I asked while getting into the room.

"I don't want you to leave."she said with a sobbing voice.

"Hey."

"I will come back,I promise."

____

The next day*

"You can stay here as long as you want."

"I can't stay here without you."

I pulled her closer.

"I will come back soon,I promise."

"You can't even say that with a straight face."

"Trust me,I will."

"I want you all to myself by the time I get back."

She nodded understanding what I meant.

"Take care of yourself."I said.

"You too."
