Chapter 52- let's get steamy in the pool

Twyla clenched her jaw and squeezed her gown in her hands. She glared at both dahlia and Kylo " now that she is here..so what?" she scoffed and then ma'am Veronica walked in.
She stood by the door and gave a sad smile at Kylo and Dahlia then heaved a sigh "Oh thank goodness" she said lowly

"Kylo..you don't look good this way..don't you know" Dahlia whispered as she cupped his cheeks. He slowly held her by her elbow and gave a side smile.
"I'm better now that you're here" he said weakly.

She gave a smile and caressed his cheeks softly.

"Miss Twyla! please come with me..your presence is no longer needed here" ma'am Veronica said politely but Twyla frowned immediately.
"Why?! what do you mean? I came here because my dad sent me to him and you want me out?"
"Another time..right now he is not ready to see you" Ma'am Veronica replied
"No, Kylo needs me..I must help him"

"I can handle him Twyla, right?" Dahlia asked Kylo looking at him.
He gave a smile and stuck his thumb out.."Okay! perfect.. so let's go, Kylo had said it all" Ma'am Veronica happily said and gestured Twyla to the door.
"Kylo.."

"Dahlia, could you please cuddle me?" Kylo asked her with his eyes staring into hers
"Oh goodness please let them be..let's leave" ma'am Veronica giggled and then Twyla stared once more before she reluctantly keft and then ma'am Veronica left shutting the door behind.

Dahlia turned back to Kylo "Seriously.. you reek alcohol, let's get you changed" she said and pulled him up, he sat on the ground instead and let his head fall low.
"Kylo..are you okay?" she asked him softly and crawled to him kneeling behind him.

"Dahlia...." he sighed and turned back to look at her. "I hate to see you this way, come with me" she said and got up stretching her hands out to him.
He looked at her hands for sometime before he took it into his hand and got up dragging himself along with her to the bed and then she sat him down.

"so you can get drunk too huh? I wonder how many shots you took" she said and stared at his outfit
"Wait..were you going out or what? why did you dress this way?" she chuckled as she began to unbutton his shirt.

"I wanted to see you, I called you but you didn't answer your calls" he said
She sighed and looked up to him folding her lips in.
Kylo set his hands apart on the bed and sent his head back "argh were you ignoring my calls?" he groaned
"Kylo..I wasn't, I'm sorry I didn't pick up" she replied lowly and took off his shirt
"You were with your cousin right?" he drunkenly asked her

Remembering Dylan made her felt like her heart skipped a beat.
"Let's wash you up..you stink alcohol" she replied instead and pulled him up with her to the bathroom

"you didn't take my jeans off" he chuckled and she rolled her eyes
"Maybe I will" she replied and went into the bathroom.

she stood before the whirlpool bath, "Kylo.. you need to undress and bathe, I'll be waiting for you outside" she said and was about to leave but he pulled her back to himself.
"what!" she whispered., he didn't say a word and then she slapped her forehead "Kylo.. I'm sorry but I guess It should work" she said
"What.." he replied and then she pushed him carefully into the whirlpool bath
"Get back to your senses and come back!!" she exclaimed and let the bathroom.

Dahlia went back to the bed and sat on it waiting for Kylo, her head went low as she released a sigh."I did well right?" she asked herself

Few minutes later, Kylo walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist and another towel ruffling his hair.

Dahlia stared at him from his head to his toe..it was like she was looking at a half naked god, his abs were packed and his chest looked hard, hard for her to lay on comfortable.
She shut her eyes and looked away after gulping down.."Argh.. I'm tired" Kylo yawned and dragged himself to the bed.
She turned to him and observed he was still drunk even if not drunk maybe tipsy.
She walked to him and pulled him to the bed sitting him down and shook his head hoping it could bring him back to His senses but it didn't work out.
"ugh I'll leave you to sleep, you can wake up sober tomorrow morning" she rolled her eyes and pushed him gently to the bed and tucked him under the bed spread.

Dahlia sat beside Kylo to stare at his handsome face, she slowly took his hands into hers "I shouldn't have said that to you..believe me, I didn't mean it..I was just fighting with my emotions. The kiss meant something to me Kylo.." she found herself saying
"Wait! did I just agree to it that I'm lovesick?!!" she exclaimed in thoughts and shut her mouth with her palms.
"Oh..Kylo, I really care about you too..I'm sorry I hurt you" she said lowly and caressed his face in her palms.
He had fallen asleep already in his towels.. she couldn't dare to dress him up since she wasn't ready to behold something around his groin.

Dahlia slowly got up trying not to wake him up but as soon as she took her hands out of his and was about to walk away, Kylo held her wrist pulling her to the bed with him.
"Ahh!" she yelped as she fell onto him. onto his smooth, sweet smelling chest.
She had goosebumps immediately.. feeling his chest against her body.
"arrgh.. ah ah" she groaned as she tried to get off his grip but he wrapped his hands around her tightly.
"Ah.....baby daddy" she clicked her tongue. "I can't stay in bed with you this way..when you fall deep asleep I'll leave" she thought and laid still in his hands.

But unexpectedly to her she didn't wake up again till the following morning.

MORNING.

Victor and Riley had planned to visit Kylo since they heard from Dylan that she didn't go back home last night but spent her night with Kylo.
They walked into the house and met ma'am Veronica assigning the maids to their task. "Good morning ma'am" Victor greeted
"Oh handsome dearie..how are you?" she smiled turning to him
"Hello ma'am" Riley greeted
"You are here for Kylo and dahlia right? they are still on bed" she giggled.

Riley raised a brow.."on bed..what could that mean?" Riley said lowly and heard ma'am Veronica giggle
"just go up to see for yourself" she replied and they nod their heads and left

"Does she mean they are sharing a room?" Riley asked Victor
"Room? or even a bed?" he replied as she hit his arm
"Naughty.." she chuckled and went into Kylo room. To her surprise Victor was right

Her jaw dripped at the door and she gawked at what she was seeing before her
"Wow..Kylo is becoming a maaaan" Victor smirked looking at Kylo who had his hands around Dahlia close to himself not even an inch apart and Dahlia hands rested on his bare chest.

Dahlia felt a very cold breeze that sent goosebumps to her skin immediately, she slowly opened her eyes and could see something round and brown before her and a little pointed.
"huh?.." she said lowly and then she recognized it was a ni**le!!

Her eyes went wide immediately as she je**ed up waking Kylo up too."Kylo!! we are late!!" that was the first thing she said
He sat up slowly holding his head.."arrgh Dahlia..is that how to wake me up?" he groaned and turned to her

"Wait..I shared the bed with you?" she asked him
"You did!!" Riley said in unison with Victor

Dahlia turned to them shocked and looked back at Kylo.."fvck!! I'm off!!" she said and ran down the bed falling to the ground but she got back up and ran to the bathroom panting.

"I only wanted to wait for you to fall deep asleep" she sighed slapping her forehead
"But that was the best sleep right Dahlia?"

Kylo looked at them with a pout more like a frown.."seriously.. I hope you guys don't interfere in my honeymoon" he muttered and heard them laugh
"No worries we won't..and we won't ask any question" Victor replied

AT SCHOOL
Dahlia was more than shy to face Kylo, their ride from the house to the school was a silent one.
She didn't talk neither Kylo till they got to school and had type first class, she didn't see Dylan in the class and thought it was better.

They were having a free period now..she didn't want to remain in the class so she left and decided to take a walk round the school.
Dahlia then got to the basketball court and stood with a smile imagining herself playing a match.
She chuckled and walked away to the pool..the moment she got there she paused looking at the huge size and then she stepped back slowly.
"What? I've tried it and I didn't pass out..another try is worth it..Isn't it?" she thought and inhaled deeply.

She concluded on trying again and went to the locker room to change into her swimming trunk, a fashioned one
more like a crop singlet and a pant on. Dahlia left the locker room back to the pool "easy Dahlia you can do it" she said to herself and sat by the pool deeping her legs first into it.
The water was cool and then a smile curved on her lips even though her heart kept beating fast.

just when she thought of jumping in she je**ed back up, "no..no I can't" she shook her head
"You haven't even jumped in yet.. what's with the fear?" she heard Kylo say.

Her heart felt like it had skipped a beat again.."what's wrong with me?" she thought and saw him walk to her in shorts
"uh are you here to swim too?" she asked him
"I've been following you..I saw it all, so I am..literally" he chuckled and slowly went into the pool

"Dahlia you know you can..you're just scared of nothing" he said
"oh please" she rolled her eyes.
he swam forward to her and splashed the water on her.."ah!" she laughed
"come in..I'll teach you" he said to her with a smile
She dropped her jaw.."you will what?" she asked him
"You heard me kitten" he winked at her and stretched his hands out to her
"c'mon there's a first time for everything" he said with an assuring smile

Dahlia felt she didn't have to hesitate and took his hands into hers going slowly into the pool with Kylo.
His hands slowly wrapped around her waist as he pulled her with himself to the center of the pool.

The feeling of the water above her chest made her feel like she was struggling with her breath.
"Easy.. take a deep breath" he whispered to her and placed her hands on his shoulders. She slowly wrapped her hands around his neck and looked down at the pool.

Little by little she began to feel stable in the pool, was it because Kylo was there with her?
He slowly pulled her more closer to himself and rested his head on her shoulder "Dahlia..." he called
"Hmm?" she replied with her brows raised up "thanks. about last night" he said to her ears softly
She smiled and hugged him gently.."its okay.it was like I was babysitting you" she chuckled and pulled away turning her back at him.

And later on he pulled her with him to swim a little round the pool, Dahlia was nervous at first but later on she moved with the flow happily with Kylo and before she went away he pulled her to himself making her back against him.

His hands were around her waist and she released a sigh "Thanks Kylo"
"You know after you confessed last night..that was when I could sleep" he said.She got shocked! "you heard me?!" she whispered
"Every single word" he replied and pulled her more closer resting his head on her shoulder as his hands freely moved around her waist, up and down her flat tummy.

She felt butterflies in her tummy immediately and folded her lips in.
"I'm sorry I left that way..I just couldn't bear it all" he apologized to her ears softly sending goosebumps all over her body.

"Kylo.. I feel I might get cramps again" she shakily said.
He ran his hands up her arm and down again "its okay..I'm here with you, you won't, breathe in" he whispers to her ears as she slowly closed her eyes.

His hands sweetly moved on her smooth and soft arm up to her neck as he slowly took her hair behind her ears.
Every touch of his were like sparks and she couldn't deny..she felt like she is being seduced.

"In...and....out" he stated one by one and slowly kissed her neck.
She gulped down immediately and thought of swimming away but why does she feel like she is loving it.
His hands slowly moved up her tummy.. she could trace where it was heading, this time his hands were directly under her b***s but he didn't touch it.

She thought if jerking off but she found him irresistible, she wanted more from him, she slowly bit her lower lips allowing him handle her. His hands ran down her tummy to her lap and back up. She opened her eyes immediately and turned to him staring into his blazing eyes.

Kylo's hand caressed her face sweetly "you know you are everything to me dahlia.." he whispers to her
"I don't need to be told that again Kylo" she replied and slowly shut her eyes.
His lips brushed against her temple, deep down she felt this adhering force inside of her..no one has ever touched her this way before.

She crested for more, she found everything about him exhilarating and then she slowly encircled her hands around his neck and opened her eyes.

He stared at her with his sparkling eyes that told more than one story. she couldn't look away from him even when if wanted to, She felt the tension rising between them. It didn't take two seconds for him to pull her more closer making both bodies against each other.
Dahlia felt his musculine chest and she could hear his heart beating.

Warmth blossomed in Dahlia's chest, sparks igniting as Kylo leaned in close, and did the job of locking lips with her after exchanging it with her in the eyes, both lips brushed together, tentatively, for the first time, it was nothing like the chicken she thought it was nor the kiss she gave him through the game. The smell of his body, of the soft, peachy scent of his hair conditioner, was dizzying, butterflies dancing in her stomach. But warmth consumed her as she leaned into the kiss, Kylp’s lips impossibly soft against her own.

Chapter 51- I want dahlia

Dahlia heart began to race like it was at its final lap in a race, she held the nylon of the drinks Dylan bought in her hands tightly.
"let him go!!!" she screamed again but it was all in vain.
She turned to her left and saw a log of wood on the ground and without hesitation she grabbed it in her hand and ran to them hitting them one by one at their back as she screamed.

"motherf**kers!! let him be I said" she screamed as she continuously hit them heavily.
"arrgh!" one by one they fell apart and just as one of them walked to her she took out a can of the drink and opened pouring it over his face..
"ah my eyes!!" he screamed, she never knew it was beer she had poured

"eh? are you okay?" she asked him and checked the can to see it was whisky
"why would he buy alcohol?" she thought then shrugged
"serves you right!!" she shouted and threw the can to his head

Before the other guy touched her she hit his head with the stick and saw him fall unconscious.
Out of shock she threw it to the ground and ran to Dylan pulling him up.

"hey its okay..let's go home now" she said to him. He groaned out in pain and pulled himself up.

Dahlia pulled him along with her till they got a cab.
She released a heavy sigh as her head fell back and Dylan leaned on the window wincing lowly as he grabbed his hurt arm tightly.
"ohh I'm sorry, we'll get you home" she said rubbing his head gently

minutes later, his head fell to her shoulders
"I'm sorry..."
"Why you apologizing. its not your fault" she replied stroking his cheeks
"but you see you owe me an explanation about you..or Mike!" she replied

The car pulled away before their house, she got down with him after paying the cabman and went into the house.
"I wouldn't want my dad to see me this way" he said as his hand crossed her neck
"we will find a way in" she replied and stepped further to the main entrance.
Dahlia p*eped In and luckily enough there was no one in the living room, she hurriedly pulled Dylan in with her and rushed to the stairs.

"Dylan?" they froze hearing a voice behind.
"Dacy?" he replied without turning back. "aren't you supposed to be asleep?" he added
"yeah..I need to p*e I lost my way" she said sleepily and left.

Dahlia released a low sigh then proceeded to his room.
The moment she walked into his room she shut the door behind and took him to his bed laying him down then rushed to get a bowl to do a little massage.
He had few bruises by his jaw and a cut by his temple. "ohh goodness I'll treat that" dahlia whispered coming back with a bowl of warm water and a small towel.
She reached for his shirt and unbuttoned them immediately, her hands were shaky at first but she got herself.
"are you nervous?" he asked her, she looked into his eyes and looked away. "I..uh..no..it's.. I'm not!" she stammered and opened up his shirt completely.
She couldn't take her eyes off his abs, she bit her lower lips..."you can stare at it later nurse" Dylan laughed snapping her back to reality.

She felt embarrassed.."whatever" she muttered and began to massage his body.
"turned out I saved my hero"she chuckled and he did same too.

"So what is it you wanted to talk about?" she asked him
"yeah..that, I need to tell you be few Dacy does, I don't want it to get you by surprise" he said.
"ohhh okay..." she replied
"Dahlia, we attended the same elementary school, the same class" he said. She paused and turned to him
"wait what? when? I don't think so" she laughed
"that's why I said the same class, to be specific" he replied as she continued with what she was doing.
"wait..is that how you know about Mike?" she asked him
"hmm" he said as a reply instead.

She folded her lips in before letting it out. "Honestly I never knew it.."
"me too, our families never told us" he replied
"so what about mike? you know where he could be now?" she asked him
"I never got a chance to say goodbye to him and it hurts me whenever I think of it" she added as he sighed
"Dahlia.. mike is here with you" he said as she looked round the room and back at him
"you kidding me!" she laughed and then he sat up slowly
"Its me dahlia.. Dylan.. Mike" he said

She stared at him blankly.."uh..wait..you see..Dylan Mike used to leave his hair blonde, not brown and he has ear piercings but you.."
"I know..he also calls you baby doll, shares snacks with you, you made him cookies and the last time you were with him you told him to meet you that night but you never showed up" he explained
Her jaw dropped..."you were stalking me?!"

"Dahlia I wasn't, I'm Mike, well Mike is my second name and I prefer being called then in elementary but things changed, I had to change personality and return to the normal guy you're seeing now"

No wonder she saw him as Mike in the fight, well then Dylan was the most feared student, he was almost seen as a bad student cos he gets into fight and all that.

"Dylan.. maybe the fight messed up with your brain" she said with a shrug and then he held her arm
"Dahlia I'm in my right senses.. what was that thing you wanted to tell me before you left?"
"you said you'd be more than happy to see Mike didn't you?"

She was confused.."I..I..I.."
She couldn't say it..she wanted to confess her feelings that night but telling him would be absurd, not now that they are cousins!!

"lemme treat this wound first okay?" she said and left to get cotton bud, methylated spirit and plaster with an ointment.
She walked back to his bed and pulled him closer to himself as her hand cupped her cheeks.

"I really can't believe it Dylan.. all those years"
"I knew I had something with you since the first day I saw you outside the house" he replied as she smiled and used the bud on his wound after damping it on the methylated spirit.
He winched lowly.."sorry" she whispered

She began to treat his jaw..their faces were just few inches apart and he could hear her heart beat.
He gave a side smile and as soon as she was done she turned to him and froze since their heads were too close to each other.
"Dahlia..." he whispered and held her left hand in his

"Dylan... I..I.." she struggled with her words. Her eyes couldn't get off his lips, if they could speak she could probably hear them shout "come get me like you always wanted"

But she can't anymore..they are families "Dahlia cut it out" she said to herself in her thoughts. even if she could hear her subconscious mind talk to her it would be so faint for her to hear.

She saw herself lean forward to him with her head tilted to the left,her eyes closed "Dahlia stop now!!" she said in thoughts but she didn't seem to stop.
it was something she always wanted to do..

She was practically about to kiss him and had double thoughts about it.
Just as her lips but more closer to his with an inch away she paused.
"Dahlia you can't! hat about Kylo" she thought

her eyes went open immediately, she was back to reality!
"I..I" she stammered
Just before she pulled away Dylan hand wrapped around her neck and pulled her back to himself finishing what she was about to start.

Her eyes went wide..The feeling of Dylan lips against her sent sparks from her head to her toe.
She squeeze the bedspread in her hand immediately, Dylan lips slowly moved on hers..she wasn't feeling herself.
Just when she thought of returning the kiss she pulled away immediately with her hands on her lips
clearly shocked!

"Dylan.." she gasped. He had a surprised look too on his face, "I..I..I'm —'' her phone ring tone cut him short

She ran to her phone and picked it away, seeing it as an opportunity to excuse herself.
It was an unknown number.. she stared at it before she answered the call.

"oh dear Dahlia!! its ma'am Veronica" a lady voice came up. She recognized the voice and smiled
"hi ma'am, is there any problem yowe calling late" she chuckled
"how are you?" she added
"I'm not fine.. Kylo hasn't been himself since! please I need you over.. he is not listening to me" she cried over the phone
"Kylo? what's he doing!!"
"he's hurting himself, please come help him" she said
"I'm coming already" Dahlia hastily replied and ended the call, she turned to Dylan and bite her lips..

"I..uh.."
"I understand.. you should go" he replied looking at the ground. She nods her head and ran out the room down the stairs and out of the house.
Luckily enough there was no one to stop her.

"Taxi taxi!!"
Meanwhile at Kylo's house,

All the maids had ran out the room, non of them seemed to stop him.. he had been drinking since evening and had got his arm and Hus wrist hurt. Twyla had stepped into the scene and was presently in His room.
"Kylo you should stop it" she said to him
He turned back to look at her..tho he was drunk he could recognize her. She had her jewelries around her neck, her long dangling earrings too and was hugely pack like she was going for a night party.
He blinked at her then looked away.."I never invited you, you should go..I'm fine" he frowned staggering to the couch

"you think being this way is okay!!..you're acting like an idiot so stop! if she doesn't want you let her be!"
"are you saying this now..you have no idea of who she is to me so quit the talk" he yelled at her

Dahlia had rushed into the house and met the head maid, "oh my dear..thanks he is in his room" ma'am Veronica said as she ran to His room.

"You should let her be..she doesn't deserve you, here you are hurting yourself because of her!" Twyla said angrily
"Dahlia is one person I'm not ready to lose nor leave.. She's very important to me understand it!!" he yelled and then she barged in after hearing what he had said.
He turned to her..immediately he felt a relief..

just before he fell she ran to him and caught him in her hands.."KYLO!!" she screamed and he fell on her legs looking into her eyes..

Chapter 50- trouble

Kylo had concluded and made up his mind to talk to dahlia. He needs to see her, if possible tonight.
He let himself to go more deeper into his whirlpool bath, maybe it could help him clear some things in his head.

His mind traveled different places, he remembered when he resumed Rosigold after giving up on schooling with other student.
He used to have his lectures in his house and his parent didn't complain, they understood he didn't want to associate with people so he stopped attending Rosigold but after a few months, it was nothing like seeing other students and then he resumed school.

There he met Victor in the cafeteria sitting all alone by himself, turned out that Victor had the same intention to have a private lecturer but his mom didn't allow him and forced him to school with others. So he didn't want a single friend even when he was the center of attention.
There and then Kylo became his first friend and today they are tight buddies.

And for Riley?, She was pushed to attend Rosigold too.she didn't even want anything like education with others, she had no plan of schooling, all she was doing then was fighting.. winning matches and being a champion both in kick boxing and taekwondo, she was professional.

He met her one night at the back of a building beating a gang up and the following day he met her in school.
Not bad they became friends but ever since Dahlia joined.. he felt more than happy he resumed, he found her a reason to attend Rosigold even tho she wasn't his class..he was more than happy being with her.
And the way the four of them became friends???

It's another story on its own.

Back at home,
Dahlia walked out of her room with her phone in her hand, she had her headphone around her neck and she was going out for a night stroll.

She walked down the stairs and found Dacy sitting in the living room with a cup of yoghurt in her hand, the moment her eyes landed on Dahlia she looked away after rolling her eyes.
"whatever!" dahlia murmured and walked to the door.

She thought of telling her uncle she would be heading out but at the same time she found it useless.
"he doesn't care does he?" she thought after all the day she didn't return home he didn't bother to call her.

She walked out through the door and met Dylan just walking into the compound.
"oh hey..." she smiled at him.

He paused looking at her face and gulped down..He doesn't know if he should reply or even act like he didn't see her, somehow his whole system has changed.
He doesn't think he an relate with her the way he used to..

"are you okay?" she asked him seeing he was lost in thoughts
"oh yeah..I..uh..uhm" he struggled with his words and then she walked to him pulling his hands.
He felt he was electrocuted and je**ed back a little making her flinch back."Dylan?" she called waving her hands at His face.
"You..don't look okay? are you sick ? or did you see a ghost or something?" she asked him holding his hands and shaking it

"well in was heading out for a stroll, was wondering if you'd join me" she said. He looked at her for a while before he spoke up.
"dahlia..I uh, I don't know if I can..I have assignment" he replied
"let's go..just one hour" she pleaded and pulled him away with her through the gates.

He could not resist but tagged along with her, "Dylan you lied you know?" she said immediately they went far from their house.
"when?"
"You've already done your assignments over 3 hours ago, what assignment were you referring to?" she asked him folding her hands

"How could I have forgotten!" he thought
"Oh..there's fish stick.. let's get it" he changed the topic instead and crossed to the other side of the road.

She stared at him for sometime then shrugged before she crossed to meet him and got her own share.
They moved together in silence for like 10 minutes before she spoke up.

"uhm, Dylan.. are you too tired or did something happen?" she asked him
"why asking?" he replied
"in case you didn't notice it, you've been weird..I mean you are not being the active Dylan I know"she replied
"and its bugging me..I'll just go home since you are tired" she said and turned to leave but he held her hands immediately stopping her.

"I'm sorry, don't!" he said immediately looking into her eyes.
She pouts her lips at him..."why?"
"I'm really really sorry, I had a lot of things running through my mind.
" he replied
"uh huh.. after you asked me those questions in the afternoon you've been this way..what did you really want to know Dylan?" she asked him as he let go of her hands.
"we'll talk about it later.."
"Then you'd have to buy me something.." she stuck her tongue out at him
"name it" he laughed

"French fries!! and banana ice cream!! let's go!!" she screamed as she ran off.

Dylan laughed out before he ran after her too but she was a little faster.
"you don't know I can run..sorry!!" she laughed out and kept running but he was faster.
He caught up with her immediately wrapping his hands around her waist as she laughed out.
They were just few meters away from the store... she smiled seeing the roof already.

"there! let's go" she giggled and held his hands crossing to the other side of the road with him.

Minutes later they stepped in while she went to take her seat immediately and placed her orders.

Kylo on the other hand had dressed up, he wanted to go speak to her and had been calling her number but she wasn't answering her calls little did he know her phone was in silence and she never knew to. He called about 6 times but no reply then he called Riley, probably she was still mad at him.

Riley answered the call immediately and spoke up. "hey dude what's up?"
"I'm pretty good, have any idea about Dahlia whereabouts.. I've been trying to call her but she isn't picking up" he replied
"oh Dahlia told me she would be going out with her cousin tonight, any problem?" she asked him.

He rolled his eyes and released a laugh.."I should have known.. okay thanks, no probs" he replied
"mind if I pass your message to her?" she asked him
"no it's okay..I prefer to tell her myself" he replied
"oh..okay I understand" she replied and he ends the call

"your cousin your cousin always him" he groaned and threw his phone to the bed running his hands through his head.

"Then I'd just cancel it!!"

Dahlia was done eating and was heading back home with Dylan, she kept hopping and dancing as she headed back home.
Dylan was just seeing the baby doll he used to admire then.she turned back to look at him with a large smile on her face.

"what were we gonna talk about?" she asked him
"Elementary school, the one you attended before Rosigold" he replied
"oh...okay..." she shrugged
"what about it..?" she asked

Now he paused, how do he tell her?
"I'm Mike?, remember Mike? who was that closet guy to yo then?" he hand no idea of how to start

"I must say..I kept it to myself for long, you look familiar" she paused staring at his face.
His eyes went wide and then he swallowed heavily.

"he he! just kidding" she laughed out as he sighed
"but you do..." she laughed
"so what is it?"

He bit his lower lip and then walked to her holding her hands.."Dylan..you're freaking me out..." she whispered and then he chuckled
"I uh..you..do you remember mike? in elementary school..." he said.

Her eyes obviously showed she was trying to remember.."Mike..." she thought
"oh yeah I did..how did you know him? wait..have we met ourselves before??!" she exclaimed
"if you see him now what would you do?"
"uhmm I think I'd jump on him, and I wish he'd kiss me" she laughed as he did a little then she stared at him
"have you been stalking me?!" she exclaimed grabbing her head and then he slapped his forehead
"you know what..its a long explanation, stay here while I get you something cold" he said turning back to the convenience store not too far from them

"I don't want you to keep walking" he said as she nods her head and then he ran off.
"oh good Lord please help me"

Dahlia saw him ran off then she went to lean against a wall to think, "mike..how did Dylan know about you? goodness"

"is that why he asked me all those questions then? wait..geez.." she remembered Mike and that made her feel hurt a little, she didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to him.

"what if I see him? does Dylan know where he is?" she thought and then she heard footsteps coming closer. She slowly lifted her head and saw a group of guys walking to her..

"excuse me are you lost?" she asked lowly.
one of them turned to the other and laughed.."I was about asking you pretty" he said
"what's a girl like you doing out here..all alone" the supposed leader of the gang asked
"uhm I'm not alone..and if you don't mind, please leave me alone" she said looking away and slowly took out her phone trying to text Dylan but then one of them snatched her phone from her.

"what!"
"what you trying to do angel.. call your boyfriend?" he laughed as ke tried to reach for her phone but they were just too tall for her

"give me that back or you regret it" she glared at him
"whoa I'm scared already" he laughed out
"look here sweetheart, its easy.. go for a ride with us..and have a hot night.."

Dylan had left the store and walked back down to where he left her but he stopped seeing her with some guys.."I'm not going anywhere with you bastards!!" she yelled and tried to reach his phone

"what did you say?" he asked her and pushed her to the wall as she groaned
Dylan had this angry look immediately and walked to them..

"you heard what she said so back off" he said pulling the guy by his back and pushed him somewhere else
"and who are you? her boyfriend?" he laughed turning to his gangs
"I'd say this nice..back off" Dylan said and turned to her
"are you okay? hope you are not hurt somewhere" he said softly to her.
"let's just leave this place..I'm scared" she said shakily

"no one is leaving till I have the girl" the other guy said with a demanding voice.
Dylan turned back to them and slowly pulled dahlia behind him

"then you'd have to pass through me to get to her" he gave a side smile

"Dylan? you're about to fight! please don't"
"baby doll, sometimes its needed.. " he replied and slowly opened his shirt
"I see someone wants to cry" the leader laughed and stepped closer to them

"no..I'm gonna one simple thing, gonna teach you a lesson and send you home to your mom crying" Dylan smirked

"wow wow wow..protecting a bitch? what do we call the guy huh?" he said.
Dylan clenched his fist immediately.."what did you call her?" he asked lowly as the leader walked closer to him looking at him straight into his eyes.

"a bit—" he trailed off as Dylan sent a hard fist straight to his jaw and then the fight started.

Dahlia je**ed back immediately shocked. Dylan pulled the guy back and began to rain punches down to him but his gang gathered around him and some held Dahlia.

"let me go!" she screamed biting them one by one

Dylan got a flying kick to his chest as he staggered back and gave a kick to his opponent chest.
Well Dylan Isn't as cool as they think he is..He grabbed their necks one by one slapping, punching and giving them headbutt.
most of them were down already.. he went to Dahlia and grabbed one of them by his neck pushing him to the ground and stomped on his angrily.

"no one touches her!!" he yelled

Dahlia was shuddering where she stood, she was scared and at the same time surprised.
But she didn't want him to get hurt..

Little by little, the memories of her seeing Mike beat up a guy that tried to harass her flashed back to her memory.
"no one dares hurt her!!" Dylan yelled already exhausted and kicked the guy that ran to him sending him down but unexpectedly he got hit from behind as he fell to his knees and got hit again

"ah!!" dahlia screamed covering her mouth..tears welled up in her eyes

"Don't hurt him!!" she yelled but by this time they had surrounded him beating him up.
