When Dennis picked up the girls and Chelsea, he decided to drop the girls off first at home and take Chelsea home.
On getting to Chelsea's place, Chelsea alighted from the car and Dennis along side with her.
" So this the place" Dennis as both of them stood outside the gate of the compound where Chelsea lived.
" Yes, this is my little London" She said to him fondly.
" I tried that day we met at the supermarket to find this place and even on Saturday when we went out, to locate where you live, but I couldn't locate it the first time I tried and on Saturday I was so shocked when you slapped me and I wasn't fast enough to get to you. If not because of that stunt I pulled after our outing, I'm Sure I would have know your house by now, although I will say you are right by slapping me, I deserved it. I went too far by kissing you, although till now don't know what came over me
" He told her.
" Yes, you are right; You do deserve the slap, because what you did was totally wrong, but I have forgiven you. But about knowing my house you wouldn't have known it, because I wouldn't bring you here or even tell you the location of my house. The reason is that we haven't know each that long, we are practically strangers. And I don't take strangers or strange men to my house" She said to him
" Was I really strange, at the time we met?" He asked hurt by what she said.
" Yes , you were. But we have pass that. Let's allow bye gone be bye gone" She replied trying to soot the hurt look on his face.
" I guess thanks if you put it that way. Although I would say if you really get to know me you will know I'm not all that strange, I'm just a jolly good fellow" He told her cheerfully, as he cheered up knowing now that she doesn't perceive or believe him to be strange anymore, " From what you said that means we are close now, right?" He asked her.
" Yes......, you can say so" She admitted reluctantly.
" So this is the place , I have been looking for tirelessly" He murmured to himself, not knowing that Chelsea heard him.
" What!?" Chelsea asked on hearing him say that.
" Nothing" He told her.
" But it is something" She said to him," Have you been tracing or should I say stalking me?" She asked.
" Of course not " He said ," Just that I have seen you around some times and maybe followed you. And I always loss you in the crowed, but just as a good neighbour you know, since we live in the same neighborhood and area, but just to be clear I did it as a good neighbour, especially to be a good friend too" He added and admitted reluctantly.
" Wow!, as a good neighbour and good friend" She exclaimed sarcastically.
" Yes, that's really it. Nothing more, nothing less" He told her, trying really hard to convince her that his actions was really base on being a good neighbor and a good friend, and that he was not trying to stalk her or something. " Your stalker tendencies knows no bond, I see it now" She told him.
" I wouldn't say I was stalking or something, I was just looking out for you" He denies her accusation.
" You always have an excuse for what ever you do" She said to her.
" No, that's not true" He argued.     " So it's true then. You wouldn't be arguing if it wasn't" She insisted.
"Okay, Whatever you say "He said.
" Okay, see you" She told him as she bids him goodbye.
" Are you not going to ask me to come in?" He asked her.
" Of course not " She replied, " Why would I?" She asked him.
" Well, because I'm your visitor and you don't know; I might be thirsty" He told her.
" But you are not thirsty and you are not my visitor" She told him, " Who told you that you are my visitor?" She asked him, astonished by all the the reasons and excuses he can come up with.
" Well I may not be your visitor technically, but this is my first time coming to your house and I think I am thirsty" He replied her.
" You think or you Know, which one?" She asked him sarcastically.
" I know" He answered.
" Okay, Wait here" She agreed reluctantly and opened the gate.
" Are you serious right now!?" He exclaimed in surprise, stopping her mid-way when she was about to enter into the compound where she lives by holding her elbow from behind.
" What do you mean?" She asked surprised by his question and was wondering what she did or has done this time around.
" Are you really going to live me out here and you are going to serve me water outside your house?" He asked her surprise by her action," Not only outside , but outside the gate. And here I was thinking that we are friends" He added.
" Of course we are" She told him.
" The polite thing will be to ask me inside and give me the water" He told her.
" Okay come in, but only into my living room" She told him.
" Where else would I go , your room?" He asked sarcastically, " I'm joking, I wouldn't dare" He assured her on seeing the look on her face.
" You better not be" She warned, " I think I changed my mind , you will wait in the corridor" She added as they both entered into the compound, and Chelsea walked towards her and Kevwe's Apartment.
" But that's not hospitable of you " He told her.
" Well too bad , take it or live it" She told.
" But if I live it and don't drink the water , I might die of thirst" He told her dejectedly.
" Well you can get a can or sachet water, it is even purer than the water inside my house. And from the look of things I'm sure you can afford it" She said, calling his bluff
" But it's the one inside your house, I want to drink. And don't look at all this it is just packaging and things are quite expensive these days" He said.
" Lies, for you or me" She called him out on his big lie.
" I'm not lying " He insisted.
"You are too" She told him," And for someone who is thirsty , you do talk a lot. Is your throat not dry or this request for water was just a big, fat lie?" She asked him
" Chelsea, you are back too" A voice said from behind them and when Chelsea turned around it was Kevwe,who just came into the compound with two grocery bags.
" Yes, I am back. I had a lift" Chelsea said pointing at Dennis.
" Oh " Kevwe said.
" Hello, Good evening, How are you?" Dennis greeted and asked.
" Hi, Good evening" Kevwe replied, "I'm fine and you?" She asked.
" I'm fine" Dennis replied, " Chelsea who might this beautiful young lady be?" Dennis asked.
" She is my best friend and Room mate. Her name is Kevwe" Chelsea introduced her bestie to him, " And this is Dennis, the guy I told you about" She told Kevwe.
" Nice to meet you" Kevwe told him.
" And you too. So she has been talking about me, hope all she said about me are good things?" Dennis asked Kevwe cheerfully, happy that Chelsea spoke about him to her best friend.
" Yes, she talked about you non-stop" Kevwe replied.
" Kevwe !? Chelsea exclaimed shocked at her Bff's bluntness with a someone she just met.
" So you are the mysterious roommate, she has been hiding from me and I thought she was living with a guy and for finally finding out about your gender, I will sincerely tell you that I'm so relief" Dennis admitted.
" And for saying and even thinking such a thing you own me an apology" Chelsea told him, " Why would you think such a thing?" Chelsea asked him.
" And for that I'm sorry " Dennis apologized.
" Apology accepted" She told him, " For now" She added warning tone.
" Oh, so cute" Kevwe muttered, "Are you not inviting our visitor inside?" Kev we asked.
" Thank you, for that. She even wants to give me water to drink at first; outside the gate and now at your corridor" Dennis informed Kevwe , " So please help me talk to her" He added.
" What!?, Chelsea did I bring you up to behave like that?" Kevwe asked Chelsea surprised.
" What!, when did you train or bring me up?" Chelsea asked also surprised by the statement of bringing her up.
" IÂ Don't mind you. You couldn't take good home training" Dennis said playfully and laughed.
" You....." Chelsea said
" What do we say to our visitor?" Kevwe asked mimicking a motherly tone.
" Please do you care to come in?" Chelsea asked Dennis as she opened the door to their house.
" Yes I do" Dennis said as he entered after her, with Kevwe following behind.
" Please have a sit" Chelsea told Dennis and he sat down.
" Happy now?" She asked looking from Dennis to Kevwe.
" Yes" Dennis and Kevwe said at ones.
" Let me go and get you that water you asked for, so that you can live" Chelsea told Dennis.
" Are you seriously asking our visitor to live to his face, for that matter?" Kevwe asked Chelsea.
" Don't worry I forgive her and this is just a game we play. She behaves as if she hates me and pretend I don't notice . Instead I show my genuine in my heart. One day I will break the ice in her heart and she will love me eventually" He told Kevwe
" So cheesy, and FYI my heart is not frozen" Chelsea told him, " I'm going to bring the water" She said.
" Okay, I will be waiting" Dennis replied.
" And I will waiting with him, bring our visitor some snacks that he can munch on and please help me to keep the groceries in the kitchen, while you are at it" Kevwe told Chelsea in order to interview Dennis. So that while Chelsea will be busy preparing the snacks she would have gotten all the information she needed from him and drill some fear into him, so next time he wouldn't do what he did at his and Chelsea outing that made Chelsea unhappy and cry.
" But he is living soon" Chelsea said, " Or are you not living soon?" She asked him.
" If you want me to stay , I will stay my love" He told her.
" Do whatever you want as you always do" Chelsea said, " You two should behave yourself while I am away in the kitchen and don't you, I mean you Kevwe share my dirty laundries or secrets with him" She warns Kevwe.
" As if you have any dirty laundry " She told Chelsea, " Secret wise, Chelsea has the most clean secret among all the people I have met" She told Dennis.
" Really, You don't say" Dennis said nodding his head.
" Oh, both of you shut up" She said.
" And please get me a soft drink and snacks too" Kevwe told her.
" You...., I saw what you just did. You played me into doing your work" Chelsea told Kevwe.
" I never " Kevwe said smiling.
" But don't worry I will get you back" Chelsea warned with an evil grin, as she took the grocery bags and went into the kitchen.
" Wow, so vengeful. I love you even more and you look so hot when you act like this" Dennis said to Chelsea seductively.
" Oh, stop it. May be I will get my revenge on you next" Chelsea joked from the kitchen.
" So hot" Dennis said with a grin, as he watched her passionately as she walked away.
" But she can be Scarry sometimes" Kevwe said on seeing her grin as she left
" Tell me something I don know" Dennis Murmured.
