Rodney POV.
“Then believe me, your nose is getting broken soon,” I threatened through clenched teeth, while I ambled towards him.
He stood properly with his hands in his pocket as we both glared hard at each other. “I hate repeating myself, Jason, where's the girl?” I asked calmly, he chortled. “You are very funny, bro” He nudged my chest, amidst laughter.
And immediately he stopped laughing, “You can't just come into my house and order me around, she is mine Rodney, so stay off” He snorted, I let my eyes stayed on his figure while I adjusted my shirt collar. I really don't have the strength to fight him today, I should just go get her myself.
I brushed my arm past his to climb the stairs since we were so close to it, but only for him to dragged me by my collar and I couldn't help it any longer. I threw a blow to his face, causing him to land his silly ass on the floor.
Good,
He groaned inwardly and struggled to stand on his feet; he charged towards me after he revived from the punch, but I was so quick to dodge it; I grabbed his hair and threw him to the floor again.
Obstinately, he made to stand up again, but I hurriedly pinned him down, so I could teach him some lesson.
I lifted my fist to throw at his face.” That's enough,” I heard behind me and we both turned to the same direction.
“Tamara” I mumbled as I slowly let go of his arm and stood on my feet. “Why are you being like this?” She asked in a very soft voice, walking slowly towards us. I breathe out softly. “Why are you always being difficult on each other?” She asked again, I glanced beside me only to caught Jason glaring at me. He really wants to die.
“Please, I don't know what the differences might be, but you guys should settle it already” She tutors as soon as she got to where we were
both standing. “Please” She added, rubbing her palms together with her cute puppy eyes; a smile formed on my lips. “I'm so glad you are okay” I uttered softly, she smiled lovingly. “All thanks to Jason, I really owe him” She says with her eyes glued to Jason's face, and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.
I wonder how he had managed to secure the kidnappers' location. “So we are leaving now,” I announced as I closed the little space between us and took in her hand. She faced Jason and slowly removed her palm from mine and moved closer to Jason, she smiled warmly at him.
“I knew from the day I met you that you are a good person,” She started, and I scoffed as I folded my arms. Good person; really?
“Moments with you are always remarkable; even though you were a big jerk” She pointed out and
as soon as she said that, they both laughed.
Okay,
What's going on?
I am still standing here, right?
“I know I can't convince you to stay with me, I mean, you have always loved him before you met him, isn't it?” Jason teases as he pointed a finger at me, Tamara looked away shyly.
“Quit that, will you? It doesn't suit you”I scolded him, he shot me a glare which made Tamara to laugh quietly.
Must she always laugh in his presence?
“You should take care of yourself, huh,” He told her and slowly pulled her into a hug.
“That's enough hugging; we should leave,” I announced, and they both pulled apart. Jason rolled his eyes; whatever.
We got to the entrance door and Tamara stopped walking; she looked behind her and waved at Jason again. I secretly scoffed before taking her hand.
While driving slowly on the highway, I could feel her eyes on me since we have left Jason's house. I glanced at her on the passenger seat and caught her staring at me,
“What?” I asked her with a grim expression, she chuckled out.
What funny?
“Don't tell me you are being jealous of your brother, Mr. Rodney?” She smirks, I fought the urge to laugh at the moment as I faced the road.
“Aww, you look cute when you are jealous, you know?” She teases as she pulled my cheek playfully.
“I'm not smiling with you,” I stated ; feigning a furious look.
“Really?”
“Then take the next turn, I want to go back to Jason” She said with an impassive expression as she crossed her arms and leaned into the seat, “Then I will come kidnap you myself” I glanced at her and saw her biting her bottom lip. So cute.
Margaret POV
“Let me help you with those, ma'am” One of the security at the gate offered to help me with the grocery bags. “It's not really heavy, my car is just parking across the road; so I can manage” I kindly rejected the offer.
I flashed him a friendly smile. “Thank you”
I adjusted the grocery bags in my hands, waiting for the traffic light, so I could cross.
The light turned red, I smiled.
Thank goodness.
All the cars stopped at once, and I quickly have my way through them.
I got to the last lane of the vehicles, so I could make use of the pavement to cross to the other side, but suddenly, I heard people shrieked, and before I could register what was going on, I was already knocked down by a car.
Oh my goodness!
The grocery bags had their way out of my hands while slumped to the floor.
I felt myself being wrapped in huge arms.
Oh my,
I know that fragrance.
I know that smell.
It belongs to only one person.
“Mom, I am so sorry” I heard him sobbed, with me in his arms.
Was I dreaming now?
Lord!
I was loosing it.
I was loosing my strength.
With the last will in me, I slowly opened my eyes.
And yes!
It was truly my Rodney.
"Rodney?” I muttered.
