The Sam guy led us outside the house and we followed closely.
"I will give you a tour of the house after now, but first, let's take a stroll" he explained and I noded. I was on a simple pink crop top and denim shorts with white sneakers to match. Daisy was on tracksuit and her hair was tied in a ponytail. Sam wore a blue t-shirt and khaki shorts which I noticed to fit him well.
We walked past our cars till we got outside the gate. Sam greeted a lot of people on the way as we walked on, some group of children ran up to Sam with wide smiles, he ruffled one of the boys hair and smiled at the others.
"Could you teach us how to play the game you told us about?" The boy asked with puppy eyes. "Yes, it sounded quite interesting. I would like to learn" another said and Sam squatted to their level with a sad smile, "I wish I had the chance to, but I have to show my new friends here around" he said and they frowned. He seems to get along quite well with children, one of the kids walked up to me and smiled cutely. I chuckled before returning it, "you are an adorable boy" I cooed pinching his cheeks slightly. The other children burst out laughing and I couldn't fathom the reason for the out burst.
I looked at the cute kid whose lips was pouted and eyes watery like he was about to cry, I wondered what's wrong because Sam too was holding in a laugh. "You called me a boy, do I look that ugly?" The boy said and I gasped, "you're not a boy?" I asked overwhelmed and she nodded the tears falling off. "What do you mean now? That boys are ugly?" Another boy asked, "well I'm not ugly like she said" the boy who Sam ruffled his hair mumbled. "Come to think of it, if boys are ugly, why then do you hang out with them?" Another boy said and the rest snickered at her.
"Guys, stop it already" I said and they looked at me surprised, "who is she big bro?" A boy asked again, "guys, meet Melly, my friend and her best friend" he introduced and they smiled at me. I bent to the little boy, I mean girl and wiped the little tear that rolled down her chubby cheeks, "what's your name?" I asked and she smiled, "Leslie and I like your perfume, you smell nice and your shoes, do you mind giving it to me?, I like them" she said in one breath, "geez, you talk a lot, don't you" I said amidst laughter. "She's the chatterbox in our group" the boy whose hair was ruffled said again, "group?, We've not accepted her yet" another said folding his hands.
"Guys come on, stop already. You should learn to tolerate Leslie too, okay?" Sam said and they nodded, "okay". "Good now come on, I will buy ice cream for everyone" Sam said and the children cheered.
I watched on in amusement, I looked on for any sign of Daisy but she was not close to the vicinity in anyway. Leslie wrapped her tiny fingers around mine and I looked down at her, "may I?" She said cutely and I smiled, "of course" I answered interlocking our hands as we walked to the ice cream shop.
"See you" the children cheered as they waved at us before walking off with the ice cream we bought earlier, "it was nice to meet you miss Melly, I like you already and I hope to see you soon" Leslie said and I pinched her cheeks while she giggled, "I will see you again Leslie", "okay, bye then" Leslie said walking off to join the boys who were long gone. "So mean, they couldn't even wait for her" I muttered with an eye roll.
"I can see you like the kids already" Sam said and I nodded, "they are  cute" I answered. "I don't see Daisy anywhere, where did she go to?" Sam asked, " she's probably around here, let's not worry about her, she's grown up and can find her way out" I said with a shrug and he chuckled. He led me to the amusement park and I smiled at the many people in the park.
"So, what do you do for a living?" Sam asked as we sat on a bench, I was still feasting on my ice cream and so took time to reply, "I'm working as the personal assistant to the CEO of Stones group of company" I answered, "wow, that's a big catch. I'm so proud of you" he said while ruffling my hair like he did to the little boy. "And you?, What do you do?" I asked, "well I'm into a lot of part time jobs because I'm presently studying. Business administration precisely" he answered and I nodded. "Do you want to ride bicycles?" he asked with a childish grin which I returned before we ran off to borrow one.
We rode about the park, over and over, laughing and waving at people in the park , we returned the bicycles and turned to go back home.
"I really had a lot of fun today, thanks for coming, Mel" he said and I smiled widely, "same here". Some group of boys approached us grinning from ear to ear, "I can see you got yourself a very pretty chick, Sam. She's a beauty you know, do you mind sharing?" The one in the middle said as he stared lustfully at me. I shuddered disgustedly at his looks, he tried to pull my hands but I shifted uncomfortably, "don't touch her" Sam said in a low but menacing voice earning a wicked chuckle from the group.
"What you gonna do, Sam?" He asked mockingly, "boys, hold her" the middle guy whom I assumed to be the boss ordered and two boys grabbed me. "Let me go right now, you won't like what I would do to you after now" I tried to sound daring but they snickered at me.
"I said let her go!" Sam yelled trying to pull me away from them but the said boss interfered, "quit the hero act Sam, just let us taste her, just once, haven't you had enough of.." he was made shut from a hard blow Sam gave him which made him stagger backwards holding his bleeding lips. I decided it was time to act as I buried my teeth into the skin of the guy by my right and he let out an agonizing scream.
Sam knocked out the other and we ran out of the scene holding hands and the other members chasing us furiously.
Sam took the lead as he pulled me along while running, we hid in a store and waited till they passed.
"Who were those guys?" I asked panting loudly, Sam was panting too but he had a look of satisfaction on his face. "They are just street thugs, more like street bullies" he chuckled and I glared at him. "You just hit their leader, are you sure you will be safe?, I mean they looked quite evil" I asked with concern, "of course, they won't come my way after now, like I said, they are bullies and will stop bullying you once you stand up to them. Like I did" he said with a cocky smile and I rolled my eyes, "you are quite braver than I expected or do I say crazy" he said with a smile.
"So that's how our childhood was like?" I asked him reminiscing on our encounter with the thugs, "yep, and we should probably get going, your mom must be waiting" he said and I stood up gladly, having a big brother like him wouldn't hurt, will it?.
We arrived home to meet my mom and Daisy standing beside the car, "there you are, I was about calling you" my mom said, "guess it's time for you to go" Sam whispered and I nodded. "Can I at least get your digits?" I asked and he smiled, "we will meet again, I'm sure" he said walking towards the door and I smiled before walking into the waiting car. I hit Daisy immediately I entered and she whimpered.
"What was that for?" She whined and I glared at her, "leaving unexpectedly" I answered feigning anger, "oo,I'm sorry. You and Sam were engrossed in your discussion with the kids so I had to shuu and do things way more exciting than talking baby talks" she said and I smacked her again, "baby talk?, I and the kids were having a normal conversation miss" I answered.
"Whatever" Daisy said with an eye roll before igniting the car.
TBC.
I don't know about you guys but I think Sam is hot and will be a good match for Mel or Daisy.
What do you think?
