Chapter 42: Tonight?

Fontana's POV

Tonight?

"B.. but..?"I tried to say as I turned around, stretching my finger out but stopped knowing his words are final.

I watched him till he got out of my sight.

I actually thought he will be angry.

So angry that a guy placed a bet on me.

I sighed and took the remaining stairs down.

As I headed to the dining room, I suddenly lose my appetite and I turned back and started walking away.

I opened the entrance door and stepped out.

I went to my ride and sat in then the driver ignited the engine and drove out with the other cars.

I opened the window and glanced out.

Hmm.

I like the way the breeze is blowing my hair.

I sighed when I remember dad's words.

Geez..

I whined the louvers back up and relaxed my back on the seat then closed my eyes.

How will I even tell him that my dad asked him to come over.

Gosh.

And I don't want to face him in school again.

I'm still pretty angry with him.

I opened my eyes and batted my lashes.

Mia.

That witch.

How does she even finds out about this before I did?.

Ugh.

"We are here"my driver announced, bringing me out of my reverie.

"Oh, yeah"I simply said, grab my bag and got out.

I sauntered towards the building and I heard someone call my name.

Actually, two.

I turned around and saw Mia with a disappointed look.

I glanced behind her and sighted Darrel walking towards me.

He smiled and waved at me while I rolled my eyes and continued walking away.

I moved inside the building and soon found Darrel walking beside me.

"Hey. Are you still angry?."he asked.

"Pretty much"I retorted.

"Okay, there seems to be more to it though"he pointed out.

"I already apologized so I don't know why it's talking you long to forgive me even when I said we've cut the bet off"he added, sounding a little piss.

"You have no right to demand for forgiveness when you've clearly inform all your pets that you guys placed a bet on me and.."

"Wait, what do you mean?"he cuts in.

I stopped and gazed at him.

"You really wanna know?"I asked and he gave a quick nod.

"Find out yourself"I added and walked away from him.

|•Darrel•|

I watched as Fontana walked away.

What does she mean that I've informed my pets about the bet?

I turned to move away and threw quizzical look at the eyes staring at me.

They just won't mind their business.

#At lunch break

I slurped my drink as I stared at Fontana where she was sitting with Fred far away.

Mia suddenly shows up infront of her and she saw saying something to her and from the look on Fontana face, she was making her angry.

Hmm.

I drop my drink and direct all my attention to them.

Fred said something to Fontana and she stood up and walked away angrily with a redened face.

*Find out yourself*her words sounded in my head and I Immediately got up.

I went to Mia and dragged her by her arm getting the students attention.

I dragged her to the female restroom and she wriggled her hand out of my grip.

"Gosh, what do you think you're doing?.."she scoffed.

A girl came in and gave us a weird look.

I returned my gaze back to Mia.

"What's going on between you and Fontana"I asked and her jaw dropped.

I scoffed and lifted her jaw angrily.

"Hmm?"I raised my brows.

She scoffed before stepping away from me.

"Nothing"

"That sounded more like a lie"I said.

"I'm.. I'm saying the truth, nothing is going on between us.."she stuttered.

"Then how did you know about the bet?"I asked, trying to see the way she would react to that.

She looked at me in surprise and quickly bowed her head.

"Did Fontana told you I know about it?"she asked instead.

A small smile curved on my lips and I snapped my fingers.

"There, I got you. Now, if you wanna save your ass, tell me, how did you know, or did someone told you?, who was it"I questioned and tried to make my expression as cold as possible.

She slowly raised her head to look at me.

"No one"she shook her head.

I tilted my head and frowned.

"You want it the hard way, right?. Well, now this is it"

Then, I grabbed her hair and yanked it roughly.

She cried out and and started begging me.

"Ple.. please, I will tell you"she cried out.

I smirked and keep pulling her hair.

"Start talking"I said.

"It.. it was Harry!. Please, it was Harry..."

Harry?

I drop my hand from her hair and stared at her in confusion.

I thought those guys promise me.

Are they still moving on with the bet?.

"Harry"I repeated as Mia ran off.

Fontana's POV

It was closing time and as I was packing my textbook inside my bag, my mind drifted to Darrel.

I'm yet to tell him that my dad wants to see him.

I glanced back and find his gaze on me.

I sighed and took my eyes away from his slowly.

After I finished packing my textbook, I zipped up the bag and carried it on my back.

I glanced back at Darrel and saw him packing up also.

I walked to him and cleared my throat.

He turned around and when he saw me, his eyes beamed.

"Fontana"he called with a smile.

Gosh.

Why could he be smiling.

"My dad said he would like to see you tonight. Goodbye"I rushed my words and left immediately.

I walked out of the classroom and bumped into Mia.

She glared hard at me before moving away.

"Disgusting"I muttered but enough to her hearing.

Yeah.

She can do absolutely nothing.

Especially with my guards around.

We walked through the lobby and finally, got out to the parking lot.

I entered my ride and he zoomed off.

**

I stepped inside the living room and when I saw mom sitting on the couch, I squealed.

"Mom!."I called out and rushed over to her and envelope her in a tight hug.

"Thank God you are back. Have been waiting for you for like forever"she chuckled.

I rubbed my head on her chest and breathe in her scent.

She later disengaged from the hug and stared at me beaming with smiles.

"I still can't believe you've got yourself a boyfriend"

Okay, how does she knows that.

"I watched your show with Elsa and have you log in on Instagram?, that place is boozing about it"she expounded.

Oh.

"Fun fact, I heard the guy is coming here tonight"Mom squeaked.

Alright?...

"I heard it from your dad"she quickly added and I nodded.

"Tip me off, what's his name?"she asked but I shook my head.

"You will get to know that tonight. Anyway, I need to go freshen up"I replied and pecked her both cheeks..

Then, I took the stairs up to my room.

#At night

After having our dinner, Mom and I sat in the living room, watching the TV.

"Well, trust me when I say that girl is stupid, how can she even allow a guy to.."my words were interrupted when the door bell rang.

Mom and I glanced at each other then, I got up from the couch.

"I'll go get it"I said voluntarily.

"No, don't worry, the maid will get it"she said.

"It's fine though"I shrugged.

I walked to the door and opened it revealing the nervous Darrel.

Oh. I almost forgot.

"Fontana"he called almost grateful that I was the one that opened the door.

He was putting on a white shirt that has black stripes on it with a black jean.

Woah.

"Will you keep staring?, at least let me in"he grinned.

I cleared my throat and rolled my balls then I opened the door widely so he could pass.

He breathed in and out before stepping in.

"There's no need to be nervous when you certainly look presentable"I muttered as he walked past me.

"I heard that"he turned to me and said.

"Who cares"I snorted and shut the door closed.

We both moved further inside the living room to where mom was sitting.

"Mom"I called.

She turned to me and when she saw him, she smiled brightly.

"You must be the one.."mom said.

"Yes, ma'am, I'm your daughter's boyfriend."he smiled naughtily.

Geez.

I blushed slightly and took my face away..

"Of course, I know the moment I saw you. My daughter has eyes for men, just like me"Mom replied happily.

Darrel nodded and smiled widely.

Ugh.

I bit my lower lip as I blushed again.

"Come and have your seat, dear"mom gestured to the space beside her.

"Uhh.. that was where I was sitting before"I said.

"Who cares"he said and walked over to it then sat down.

I went to take another seat and continued watching the movie showing on the TV.

"Are you hungry?, I can ask the maid to prepare something for you"mom asked.

"No, I'm good"Darrel answered.

"Are you sure?."

"Yes ma'am"

"Do you care for wine, anything at all?"mom asked again.

"Uh, wine is good"he replied and she nodded and called a maid then told her to get a glass of wine.

After some minutes, the maid returned with a glass of wine placed on a tray.

She placed it down infront of him and returned back.

Darrel thanked my mom and sipped from the drink.

After some few minutes, the door opened with Dad coming in.

"You're back"mom said and he nodded.

"Hey, dad"I waved.

"Hey"he replied.

"Good evening, sir"Darrel greeted him..

"Oh, he's the one, right?"dad asked me and I nodded..

"Okay, let's head to the dining room"dad said.

"We've had dinner, without you"I replied.

"Gosh, you guys are mean"he chuckled then sat down beside me.

"So, gentle man, who are you"dad asked.

Darrel looked at him confusedly.

He then glanced at me and we both exchanged looks.

I shrugged and shook my head.

"I'm your daughter's boyfriend"he answered.

God.!

Must he use that.

"Congratulations, you passed the first test"dad smiled.

Darrel breathed out and turned to me then I flash him a smile.

"What's her favorite color?"dad asked.

Darrel looked at me up and down before answering.

"Red"he answered.

"Okay, so I don't know if you pass that cause I don't even know her favorite color"dad said.

"Okay, that hurts"I touched my heart.

"He actually got it right"Mom said.

"Okay, congratulations again, now to the third question... what's her favorite food"

Darrel looked at me again and suddenly, he smiled.

"Spicy noodles"

"You got it"dad said and held out his knuckle.

Darrel smiled and bumped knuckle with him.

"Now, to main question, what's your name"

"Darrel.."he replied.

"Darrel..?, Darrel what?, just Darrel?"

"Darrel Roosevelt"he answered.

Immediately, dad's expression changed.

"Are you sure?, the same Roosevelt?"he asked and he nodded.

Dad sprang up from his seat and started walking away to my surprise.

What's that?.

Darrel and I exchanged glances.

"I'm sorry, Darrel. But it shouldn't have been Roosevelt"mom said and also stood up then scurried to catch up with Dad.
