Lured by the Captor

Chapter Four

MILEY’S POV

I will be graduating in a week time. Yes it mean I’m leaving Brandenburg to Munich in a months time.

I’m having a mixed feeling here: I want to explore and know what and how Munich is like and also further my education to make my family proud, especially my father, on the other hand I’ll be leaving my loved ones behind; my parents, Melvin and my only besties. How am I going to cope without them.

I guess it’s time I acted maturely on my own.

The incident with my dad the other time is resolved and now we are back to how we were. No yelling to cry, no disobedience to trigger anger, if you know what I mean. I’d even say my father’s love for me has increased. For instance, he comes to check on me before and after work, he makes sure he gets me a gift everyday.

I reminisce how he one day forgot to buy me a gift, so he went to our garden and plucked Anna’s white roses and lily flowers for me.

The murderous looks thrown his way by mum was too hilarious. My mum and dad sometimes act like twins that can’t get along.

It’s amazing how they switch characters within a blink.

I don’t know if I’m receiving all these warm affection from them especially my father because I’ll be leaving in a months time. Whatever the reason is I don’t care, all I know is I love them and will continue to do that unconditionally.

About Melvin and I? You won’t believe it. My dad had visitors two weeks ago and the said visitors were none other than Melvin and his parents. I panicked when I saw Melvin because I didn’t want to anger my dad but turns out I was wrong.

The Smiths family had been friends with my dad way before I was born and they had come back from a long trip so they came to visit my dad. I was stunned to know that, but Melvin had a smirk on his face so I know he knew his parents knew mine but kept quiet about it.

He acted maturedly that night. I was blown away by his confidence and boldness that I couldn’t stop myself from staring at him all through dinner until they left.

Let me gist you on what he did. He formerly seeked my dad’s permission to be his girlfriend.

I mean ever since I gave him my number he’s been all flirty and and cocky that at some point I disregarded what he says. He asked me out and I told him I’ll think about not until dinner I knew he was serious about that.

But wait, don’t people who go on a date accept and agree to each other first? Not like I don’t like him, I mean he’s got all the specs a lady would love or like about a man but I felt he rushed things and that he should have waited for my approval first, call me selfish but I call it’s self-respect. ‘Pout’

What if I was not ready to be in a relationship with anyone and I’d rejected him before everyone? Though I wouldn’t dare, he’s my secret crush.

I’m sure that would have been the worst embarrassment for someone like him.

He believes he’s every lady’s dream (though I hate to admit it sometimes) only to be rejected by his junior and for that matter an inexperienced one who knows nothing about boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. I’m sure it’d been a hard blow on his perfect face.

Guess what my father’s answer was?

I vividly remember him say;

“You know she’s our only treasure if you know what I mean? Knowing you’re the only son of my noble friends here i can tell you are well trained and brought up. I will therefore have your head if you play any naughty ‘hit and run’ game with my daughter. ‘Giggles’ If you sort of encounter any problem which of course I know will happen for it won’t be an all smooth road, there sure will be bumps, you can confide in me and I’ll be more willing to help. Also you wouldn’t want to rush things with her, she isn’t yet an adult. So son with all these said.............. (silence) you are welcome to the family” ‘heavy sigh’ then he sealed it with a hug. Yes, he gave that long speech. Since then, I’d say Melvin has been so cautious of his actions, even what he sometimes says to me.

He has been a complete sweetheart. He calls me mostly at night during weekdays because of school, he comes over to personally help me with difficult assignments, he even took me out on a date.

I think I love this side of him most.

I’m on my way to church with my parents and of course I’ve invited Melvin over so he’s meeting us there.

We got to the church premises ten minutes later and he’s already here, see? A total gentleman.

He’s leaning on his car, his back towards us but he turns with a smile when he sensed my presence. I walk to him and hug him.

The plan view of our church forms a Christian cross; the Centre aisle and seating representing the vertical beam with the bema and altar forming horizontal.

The entryway of the church is the narthex; where our portals are located.

The Centre aisle is an elongated rectangle and rows of pews are located to each sides.

We take our seat on the right of the third row, in front of the choristers.

It’s worship time and he seemed lost. He’s not familiar with most of the songs but he’s doing just fine with the hymn book he’s focused on.

I find myself smiling, he looks like he doesn’t want to be here but can’t help it since he has no option.

Later after the sermon, we give our offertory. We give to help expand and win more souls for God.

During processions and masses, we walk up the nave to the altar where there is a bowl of anointing oil, we dip two fingers in and smear on our forehead before we walk out of the church.

And just in case you’re wondering what we learnt today.

So basically it’s about we Christians giving just a little it more to God.

A typical example in the Bible is Cain and Abel.

They both give their offerings to God but Cain’s was rejected whiles Able’s was accepted. Simply because Abel decides to give just a little bit more to God. Scripture to find this is in Hebrews 11:4.

Melvin looks alien to these things and seems to be in deep thoughts but I’m glad he still came.

“Hey, pounds for your thoughts” I say to gain his attention.

“Huh-uh, I’m just overwhelmed with all that happened in there, it’s all new to me” he meekly says. Awww how adorable.

“I know that”

“How?”

“Come on I was watching you from time to time but don’t worry you’ll get used to it, because hence, you’ll be coming with me to church on every Sunday do you understand?” I squint my eyes at him demanding for an answer.

He huffs and bows dramatically.

“Yes ma’am” I laugh and he shakes his head at me

“Anyways thanks for honoring my invitation” I say and he playfully pokes my head.

“Silly, you know I’ll go anywhere just so I can be with you.

“Thanks” I simply say and peck him on the cheek.

THIRD PERSON’S POV

In my perspective I see Miley Dietrich to be a self-satisfied, amusing, uninformed, sophisticated and fascinating seventeen year old girl who thinks everyone that smiles with her is her friend or loves her.

-

-

She has a slender 5’4 figure and is naturally endowed with big bust and wide or broad hips. If you don’t know her in person and you see her picture you might think she gained her figure through surgery but no, it’s all natural. She is a natural girl both inside and out.

She has and oval face with pouty lips that looks like sunflower. Her straight pointed nose is the second most recognizable and distinctive feature. The most beautiful and captivating organ on her face is her emerald eyes, so alluring and the center of attention which gives her a tender, raw and fresh look. Her cleft chin undoubtedly makes her look very attractive and quite unique, to which her smile adds more and gets special attention.

Her olive skin that looks naturally tanned compliments her black hair that looks like dark blue when the sun rays falls on.

She’s cute like her mother; same height and same skin tone but her mum is a brunette. She has her dad’s captivating eyes and slender figure with same hair colour. The resemblance between both parents is massive, mostly a child takes after the mum or dad but she is a true replica of both.

At school and home her only friends are Clara and Mia. Mia is a blonde girl with blue eyes, she’s slightly taller than Miley whiles Clara and Miley have same hair colour and height, just that Clara’s is a bit lighter.

Clara is a free bird, she says what’s on her mind if need be where as Mia is a reserved person who keeps to herself even when she’s bothered, she feels since it’s her problem she needs to find solutions to it. Her two friends sometimes have to pester her more before she opens up.

These three girls have been friends since elementary.

They have always been together through thick and thin. There’s been arguments and disagreements. It even got to a time where Miley and Clara weren’t in talking terms but Mia brought them together. The three girls had promised themselves to always be united no matter what.

Every year on each of their birthdays, the other two goes to the house of the celebrants to be with her and spend quality time all day and of course with the permission of their parents.

They were all once living in the same neighborhood when they were little and that’s how come they became friends so even their parents united because of the kids.

Ever since Miley met Melvin, she has been distanced from her friends without even her notice, but none of her friends complained because they know it’s her first love, so it’s likely for her to be clingy and all.

Melvin is a twenty-one year old boy and is six feet that allows him to easily tower over Miley.

His faux hawk or easily defined fohawk gives him a high school looks though he graduated three years ago.

Miley is more drawn to his brown eyes, there’s something unique in them and she can stare and admire it without blinking.

She can easily say his facial features are perfect: long straight nose and eye lashes thin eyebrow and thin lips, wide jaw etc. as the saying goes beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Melvin has stopped his cocky comments and careless attitude ever since Miley’s dad warned him. He has been more careful in what he does especially when it involves Miley.

He wouldn’t do anything that will jeopardize their relationship.
