Fall For Me

They saw two men and they were both familiar faces this was Andrew and his father, Valeirie turned red at the sight of Andrew, she couldn’t believe he was there, she had so many questions, What was he doing here ?, Who I’m invited them? The Smiths because Mr Smith’s voice broke her chain of thoughts “Welcome Welcome, what took you so long?” Andrew’s Father replied “Our car broke down but not to worry it’s under repairs now” Andrew smiled at everyone.

He was a tall man, He had brown hair that matched his eye color, he was an attractive young man but Valerie didn’t fall for his looks, of course, his looks added to his attractiveness but he was also calm and soft-spoken, She couldn’t help feel butterflies when he was around and family members knew and couldn’t help tease her for it, she didn’t have friends so she was not particularly a social person.

, Andrew and his dad made themselves comfortable at the dining table and they all started chatting away, Mr smith asked “So Valerie I heard you graduated top of your class, Remind me what you studied again” She could feel everyone’s prying eyes on her and waiting for her reply, she cursed inwardly, she disliked attention she even tried her best to remain unnoticed all through the dialogue that has been on going throughout their arrival even now she wanted to stay quiet because she didn’t want to say anything wrong or bad most especially not in front of Andrew.

She knew there was no escaping a discussion now, so she hesitantly said “Accounting sir” and the older adults were pleased, Mr. Smith asked again “Also do you plan on getting a job or continuing to look pretty in your parent’s house” They all laughed but she felt uncomfortable because she had not yet decided what to do and she didn’t want to succumb to the nine to five scheme, Although she already knew she would have to start earning she didn’t just want it to be so soon, she spoke with a low but respectful voice “No sir, I believe I’ll get a job as time proceeds” Andrew was staring so diligently at her.

Andrew was completely lost in his thoughts about her, he knew a few details about her, she had an interest in him but he fell in love with her immediately after he saw her, I mean what’s there not to love? She’s an exceptional lady whom he wouldn’t mind dating but he didn’t want to rush things with her, He didn’t want to do something they’d both regret, He loved her too much to hurt her, He loved her too much to let her know just how much she meant to him, of course, he was avoiding making any mistakes, just look at her, Andrew has never seen anyone as beautiful as her in his life, He wasn’t particularly a lady’s man, he only went on a few dates when his dad forced him too but it was never serious but ever since he met Valerie and fell hard for her he knew she would complete him, He didn’t know everything about her just a few things and that’s because they haven’t had a deep conversation about her.

They just talked sometimes but barely, It wasn’t enough, He wanted all her time, He wanted to know more about her and things he could do deeply and selflessly so he could make her happy, He watched her eat and talk ever so gracefully, She was brilliant, He thought to himself and then he was jogged back to memory by a hearty laugh from Mr. Smith, He didn’t know why he was laughing maybe it’s something Valerie had said because it looked like everyone was smiling at the table so he fixed up a smile on his face so he wouldn’t be rude, Mr. John said something concerning a resume.

Andrew wasn’t paying attention so he was unclear of what they were talking about, The last thing he had heard was Valerie giving information about her degree, Oh maybe she was applying for a job so soon, He was quite smitten by her looks he was taking in every detail that he lost track of what they were saying.

He was listening now and could hear that Valerie was asked to submit her resume to Mr. Smith, He saw that she gave a weak smile and he wondered, perhaps she wasn’t psyched about that his thoughts were interrupted by the argument coming from the other side of the table, It was Gwen and Steven arguing

Gwen dragged the attention from everyone when she yelled “But you called me bossy” with a louder tone, Steven immediately replied back “That’s because you are”,

“Oh really?” Gwen asked, “Yes you are You’re not only bossy, you’re also selfish and self-absorbed” Everyone knew it was inevitable and surely the argument would surface, Gwen told her parents that she was ready to leave and of course they knew better than to say no cause she would be a drama queen about it, So they rounded up the dinner and discussion and said their goodbyes.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Valerie was relieved it was over cause she couldn’t stand being the Centre of attention, As they walked out, Andrew knew now was the time, she was done with school and hopefully would be open about spending time with him so he called her “Hey Valerie can I talk to you for a minute” She heard a familiar voice, her stomach twisted and she turned immediately, her heart was beating fast but she managed to keep her cool ” I was wondering if you’ll be interested in going out for dinner sometime” before she could answer Gwen yelled her name “Valerie common we are waiting for you” She left him standing and hurried off to the car, He cursed Gwen under his breath, He wanted to get a reply from Valerie, When she got into the car and they left the driveway, She immediately got a text that lightened up her face.
