Part seventeen

Michele's POV

Pulling into their driveway, I got out of the car after turning off the ignition. I looked around the mansion and realised it was the same as before but not so same because now, the lady of my dreams lives here.

I sighed, I hope there's no family member in the house because I can't stand those people. They make me sick, mother and children.

With long strides, I made my way towards the front door and pressed the doorbell. I removed my shades from my face and waited for the door to be opened and hopefully not by any family member.

After a minute or two, the door opened. My facial expression changed from bland to surprise when the person who answered the door came out. It wasn't any family member but the lady of my dreams.

I took my time to assess her. She was beautiful as always and I noticed she had changed immensely compared to the first time I saw her. She now looked healthier and more graceful.

Clearly, I wasn't the only one doing the taking in, Monae also was. Her eyes slowly moved over my body and stayed put on my face.

Her not so large blue eyes widen as they took me in, her lips were slightly parted and her cheeks were flushed too. It was really cute seeing her reaction, it was almost like she was drooling. I would have taken it as that if I didn't know how much of a tough girl she is who isn't easily swayed by looks.

She did look surprised to see me but searching her face, it held no recognition. Monae didn't remember me the slightest and it was understandable, I was in disguise then.

"Miss." I snapped my fingers in her face to jolt her from her stare, it was getting intense. It wasn't like I did mind it, I loved that she was checking me out. I appeal to her like she does to me.

"Uh—yeah." She said unconsciously and looked embarrassed because she was still in her daze.

"Won't you let me inside?" I asked her. The sun wasn't that scorchy outside. It didn't look good me standing out here and having a conversation with her.

I didn't hear what she said though she muttered something. I was stiffling a smile, it was really cute seeing her like this and after a long time.

Monae opened the door wider to let me in. I walked inside and took off my jacket. While doing so, I felt her gaze still on me. I pretended I wasn't aware she was looking at me and hanged it on the coat rack.

She then guided me to the living room. I had been there so many times on my visit to Mr Winchester when his family wasn't living here yet I behaved like it was my first time being in the house.

"Can I get you water, juice or anything?"

"Nope I'm good." I assured her while looking at her. She was trying so hard not to seem distracted yet I could still see it. She was a blushing mess and couldn't look at me in the eyes when she spoke.

I let out a small smile seeing how much of a distraction I am to her.

"Not to sound rude but who're you and who're you looking for?" This time around, she looked at me in the face and inquired curiously.

Her question didn't catch me off guard. I expected it because it was bound to be asked, I would too if I were in her shoes.

"The owner of this house."

"Are you sure you know him?"

"Yes I do and very well."

"I disagree with that answer, if you really knew daddy, you wouldn't be here looking for him by this time. He's at work."

Daddy? So it's true she has been adopted by them. It's a surprise, Mrs Winchester didn't look like someone who will allow a lady like Monae in her house. Monae is a very nice girl, a vast contract to Imogen and Rex isn't to be trusted around girls like her and Mrs Winchester knows it. I'll ask Mr Winchester about this, something isn't right here.

"Oh yeah I know he is, it's rather strange he told me he was at home today." I thought about my answer carefully so as not to give myself away. She is a very intelligent girl and I wouldn't be surprised if she saw through it and realised it was a lie.

"Okayyyyy, then you will get going now or since he isn't home?"

Yes get going and take you along with me.

That is what I want, I want to whisk her away from this house and family. I want her in my home, with me as my love, wife and mother of my kids. Wait, what? Have I started thinking about kids already when she doesn't even know how I feel about her?

Slow down big guy, you're a stranger to her. I've got to take things slow and not rush them. I have to make her mine without letting her know my intentions at the moment else it's going to ruin it.

"Eager to drive me away are we?"

"Haha very funny, nah. I figured you wouldn't want to sit alone by yourself while you wait for him to come back home at seven or six when it's like four now."

"You're right but I wouldn't mind waiting for him." That is true, I wouldn't mind waiting for him but I'm not going to. I have to leave from here before they start coming home and see me here.

I'm not afraid of they seeing me here, like hell they can do something to me. What I'm trying to avoid is more problem for Monae here, like I said before, I know how Mrs Winchester is.

"I'll get going, I have work to take care of." I said and rose from the couch. I just remembered I have a meeting with Drake at some fancy lounge he proposed we meet at in a less than thirty minutes.

"Sure, let me see you out." She offered, gesturing to the door.

I was more than glad she offered that. My time with her here was short and I wouldn't mind an extra few minutes. That is short too but it's better than nothing.

"You need not worry, I can see myself out." I declined her offer but low key wished she was going to press it and not take agree with me.

I lifted my eyes to look at her and found her looking at me. She gave me a small smile and blushed seeing I had caught her in the act. "I still will, it's rather courteous of me to do that so allow me."

"As you wish."

I said that calmly but deep within me I was damned happy she agreed to despite what I said. I walked closely behind her and took my jacket from the rack when we got to the door.

I slumped the jacket around my shoulder and quickly grabbed the door handle before she could. We brushed our fingers together in the process and I was elated at the physical contact. "Please allow me."

A warm feeling surged through me. She might have felt it or I don't know but she quickly drew back her hand, blushing and lowered her head.

I gazed at her intensely, this was a side of her I've just come to know, she likes to blush erh? She didn't look like the girly type back then, she was really feisty and I loved it. I do love her blushing now, it's a combo I like in women.

Shy and meek yet aggressive and challenging.

Monae with her head still lowered shyly, walked with me to my car. I smiled and shook my head, I found her shyness cute.

Taking out my car keys, I cleared my throat to get her attention. I was leaving and it didn't look she was going to raise her head anytime soon. I wanted to get a glimpse of her face one more time since that's what I'll be getting for the time being till I finally find a way to have her with me by my side forever.

"I'm taking my leave now."

She raised her head to look at me and wrapped one arm around herself. "Okay drive safely."

"I will." I nodded, walking over to the driver's side and opened the door.

"Wait!" I stopped from sitting and jerked my head in her direction. She stood where she was, looking at me but didn't say anything.

I cocked my brow at her, daring her to speak as I waited patiently for her. There's surely a reason why she told me to wait and surprisingly, I also wanted to know it.

"You didn't tell me your name." She finally said and looked elsewhere. I was secretly happy she wanted to know my name at least. "Incase daddy asks who came looking for him."

I nodded in understanding, "Michele."

"Just Michele?"

"Yup he'll know who I am."

"Okay. Uhm—bye!" She raised her hand and waved at me, a smile tugging at her plump nude lips.

"Bye." With that, I got into the car and sat down then turned on the ignition but didn't drive away. I pretended I was looking for something before driving when in reality, I was staring and admiring her from the tinted glass.

She couldn't see me but I could and she was looking at the car too before she turned her back and walked to the door.

I took that as my cue to leave and drove away but not before making a promise to myself, I was going to get her away from this house as far as possible.

I wonder why Michy seems to dislike Mrs Winchester together with her children.🤔
