Meeting Again

Chapter 6

CHAPTER 6

*BRANDON WALTER*

I met her again. I can’t believe that the monkey girl is actually Devon Mcknight. I knew she looks familiar. So she’s still staying in River Valley. I wonder if my friends are still there.

Now I just need to pretend that I don’t remember her. I can’t face her yet, after what I did to her when we were kids, she must’ve hated me for that.

I just need to ask William to borrow her. I need an excuse.

“You called?” William asked as he opened the door of my office.

“Yeah, I need to talk to you about Devon.” He raised his eyebrow after hearing her name.

“What are you scheming?” His eyes are suspicious.

“I need to borrow her once in a while, you know my ‘community service’” I quoted in the air.

“Yeah, what about it?”

“You see, Devon is the owner of the school, so basically she is the one that will sign the papers for me to be released. So I need her to look after me while I’m there.”

“What a coincidence.” He laughed. “The girl who punched you twice, is actually the girl who can make your life easier or harder. Tsk tsk tsk.”

“What’s so funny about that? If I had known that, I should have shown her my sweet side.” I smirked remembering the day that we met again.

“Well If I were you, I won’t go easy on her. I guess its fine with me, as long as your working.” He gave emphasis on working.

I smiled, “Don’t worry, she’s under my control, thanks to you though.”

“What do you mean?” He got confused.

“Oh nothing, just ignore it.”

“But you take care of her, and ‘don’t hit on her’”. My eyebrow rose.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Honestly, I like her.” I saw a smile on his face, I know he’s serious.

“Don’t tell me your taste has changed.” I tried to insult him. He looked at me.

“You just said the same thing as Amber did this morning.”

“Amber came? What did you tell her to make her tell you that.?” I’m lost with words.

“She stormed in my office while I was talking to Devon, then she kissed me in front of her.”

“Wow, that was nice.” I said.

“Shut up, then I want to get rid of her, Devon was there stunned of what she saw then an idea just popped into my mind.” He smirked, something is wrong with this guy. “I kissed her.”

Did he just say that he kissed her?

“What?!” I almost shouted.

“Chill, Then I told Amber that we’re done, and that I have a new girlfriend and it’s Devon.” He told me excitedly.

“Wh-what did she say?” I said hoping that Devon punched him like what she did to me.

“She just stood there, she didn’t even move.” He laughed. “She’s so cute.” He said then looked at me. “So you better be careful with her.” He pointed a finger on me.

I was speechless for a second then finally got the words back in my head. “Yeah, sure, I don’t like monkey girls. They are not my type.”

“You better be, I’ll be going now.” He left my office.

I am still thinking of what he just said. He kissed her? And she didn’t even do anything? Maybe she liked him that much, and hates me because she punched when I kissed her.

But why do I feel this way, I am not comfortable with this. William being her boss.

*DEVON MCKNIGHT*

I went home tired. Ahhh Two hours of driving is no joke. My dear friends are already at home. They had their own jobs and careers. Among the four of us, I’m the only one who didn’t finish college.

Mizzy is a lawyer; she works in a law firm. Edhen is a dentist; she has her own clinic. And Patricia is an engineer. They just started their jobs this year. When we decided to live together we were so excited, but seeing them now, I feel envy.

They already have their own titles and jobs, but they still chose to live here. I mean they can move in the city if they want to.

“Hi, how’s work. I mean Brandon?” Pat asked and jumped in the couch where I sat.

“Fine, he already knew that I cheated on my resume.” I soaked my head in the cushion remembering that.

“What? How?” Edhen asked.

“I don’t know either, maybe he used his money to investigate on me, who knows.”

“So is he going to tell William?” Mizzy asked.

“That, is the surprising one, he didn’t, but instead, I have to accompany him every time he comes here.”

“Ohh” They said in unison with a devilish smirk on their faces.

I glared at them “What does that supposed to mean?” referring to their ‘ohh’.

“I knew it, I just knew it!” Pat said.

“Yeah, until now Brandon still likes you.” Mizzy clarified.

I rolled my eyes, “Are we really going to talk about this now? I mean look at him, he doesn’t even remember me! And you already told me that before, and I believed you, and then I got my first heart ache because of you guys.” I narrowed my eyes on them.

“Oh com’on Dev, we were just kidding, we didn’t mean to make you remember your painful past.” Edhen apologize.

“But still, I have this feeling that Brandon still..” I stopped Pat, as I already knew what  she was going to say.

“I told you already, you’re wrong”

“Fine if you don’t believe me. But let me tell you my instincts never fail.” She said like threatening me.

I just shook my head. “Whatever.”

We just talked the whole evening about what happened in our days. Then I went to sleep early, because of my job.

*Brandon Walter*

I woke up, and it’s Saturday. This is the day where I am going to River Valley. I am going to meet her there.

My phone rang, it’s says ‘monkey girl’ calling. I smiled, I haven’t change it to her real name yet.

“Yeah?” Trying to sound like I’m not interested.

“Don’t forget about today, I prepared tons for you today.” I can hear her smirk. She is planning a war. I can feel it.

“Yeah, I know, Do you really miss me that much that you want me to hurry?” I tried to tease her. She never changed; she is still a hot headed woman.

“In your dreams Jerk.” She hangs up.

I drove my way to River Valley. I made way to the parking lot of the kindergarten. I saw her standing there with Mr. Brown, holding a broom. What is she planning to do?

“Good morning Mr. Walter.” Mr. Brown greeted me.

“Morning, Morning monk-“ I stopped knowing that there are other people around. “Miss Mcknight.” I smiled at her.

“Morning,” She said with a big grin on her face. She gave me a hammer and nails. “Now start working.”

“What?” I’m confused, why is she giving me this stuff.

“Before you start arguing, I’m going inside first to protect myself.” Mr. Brown said smiling, more like teasing Devon. Then he left.

“You didn’t come here in the week days meaning you haven’t done your job as a P.E teacher, so now you are going to help us work in repairing the school.” She explained.

“Are you kidding me?”

“Do I look like I’m kidding you?” she said sarcastically. “If you will not change your clothes it’s fine with me.” She looked at me head to toe.

I’m wearing a V-neck long white sleeves, and pants. I just had the perfect Idea.

“Fine, where do I go first?”

“You go there and repair the ceiling, it looks like it’s going dow..” I knew it. Her jaw just dropped seeing me half n***d. I must admit that I have a good shape, one of the reasons why girls can’t resist me. “What are you doing?”

“What? I don’t have an extra shirt.” I shrugged my shoulder, looking innocent. “Do you like it?” I teased her.

“In your dreams.” She turned her head away from me. I know she’s blushing.

“Wow!” I heard a voice coming from behind me.

“Pat? What are you doing here?” Devon said to a girl dressed in semi-formal clothes.

“Brandon?! Is that you?” She ignored Devon. I’m still studying her face. Oh Patricia Greyson. But I have to act like I don’t remember.

“I’m sorry?” I acted. I’m so good at it.

“Oh right, you don’t remember. Well I’m Patricia, Pat for short.” We shook hands. She was rather energetic.

“Hi.” I said casually.

“Sooo..” She didn’t finish because Devon dragged her away.

“Go to work.” She demanded me before turning to Pat, still dragging her away. They talked then Pat left.

“What was that all about?” I asked, pretending not to know.

“Nothing, it’s none of your business.” She took a paint brush, and started painting without facing me.

“Really?” I smirked. She faced me.

“What do you mean by that?” her eyebrow raised.

“I’m thinking,.. maybe your jealous?” I stepped closer to her.

“huh, the nerve?!” She stepped back, but got trapped, the wall is now behind her.

“Then why did you make Pat go, we were still talking you know.” I stepped closer.

“You don’t even know her.” Her voiced cracked, seeing me close to her.

“Even though, that is so rude of you.” I trapped her with my arms leaning against the wall. She can’t go anywhere.

“What are you trying to do?” She asked nervously.

“I am going to teach you some lesson about manners.” I leaned my head against her. I pressed my lips down to hers.

At first she was struggling, but I manage to control her. It was with force. But when she gave in, I gave her my best shot.

You will experience the kiss that William can never give you. I give her to time to breathe then kissed her again. I heard her moan. Damn that makes me want to do more.

I felt something running to my chest. At first, I thought it was her hand. Then It made me tickle, I looked at it. It’s paint!

“What the heck did you do?” I exclaimed. I looked at her. She’s still panting.

“That serves you right, and If you ever do that again, I

 swear I will kill you.” She gave me a deadly glare, then walked away.

Damn, How am I supposed to get this off my skin.
