MY ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MR ARROGANT

Louisa’s chest heaved up and down in anger, she got out swiftly from the bed and grabbed the baseball bat she normally keeps around just Incase an intruder breaks into her home.

Dylan gulped down as he stared at the baseball bat ready to strike him.

“Please drop that! and explain to me why I’m here”

“Oh! you can’t remember, how about I smack you in the head with this!”

Dylan closed his eyes trying to remember what happened last night but all he received was a banging headache.

“Gosh! my head hurts”

“it will definitely hurt!” Louisa sarcastically said, she dropped the bat on the bed and left for the kitchen.

“Dylan look at this photos aren’t they nice?”

Chloe said waving the phone in his face while jumping on the bed next to him.

Dylan snatched the phone from her small hands and stared at the photos. He gasped while swiping the screen.

“You little creature” he pulled Chloe to sit next to him.

“You have made my day” Dylan praised but he wondered how he ended up here in the first place, he recalled that he was at a bar with James and Steven.

“Don’t think too much, your silly friends dumped you at the roadside last night”

“Here have this!” she added stretching a bowl in front of him.

Dylan stared at the bowl then back to her frowning face.

“It’s hangover soup, you don’t worth dying by my poison!”

Dylan lifted a brow, and accepted the bowl she was holding, his fingers slightly grazed hers which made her shudder.

“Thanks” he said with a small smile.

“Lou I will be late for school” Chloe complained.

Louisa tapped her head, she always forgets about the little girl. “Sorry baby, I almost forgot come here”

Dylan’s phone vibrated in his pocket, he brought it out to see it was from his mum.

“Hi mum what’s up?”

“Come over to the hospital son! your mum is in a bad state!”

“What?!”

The call went dead, he drank a little out of the bowl, and stroked his chin he knew this was one of their ploy to get something out of him but his dad’s voice sounded urgent.

He waited a little more for Louisa before he can leave, after a while she came out with Chloe all dressed up for school.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Lou let Dylan drop us off today” Chloe suggested which Dylan agreed to immediately.

“Yeah I don’t mind”

Louisa sighed, what more could she loose? “Let me get the key”

..

Amelia peeped into the kitchen and couldn’t help but laugh, Liam was trying to make breakfast and he really sucks at it. She took several pictures of him without him knowing.

She held her nose from the choking smell coming from the burnt foods he tried cooking.

The kitchen was all messed up, even his cute pink apron was all ruined with different stains.

The frustrated look on his face made her burst into laughter, she walked into the kitchen and stared at the burnt foods littered everywhere.

“Mr arrogant, what were you trying to do? you’ve messed up the whole kitchen”

Liam sighed pulling off the apron, “And what are you laughing about? I tried didn’t I?”

Amelia dusted his shirt with her hands leading him out of the kitchen.

“Who will ever believe me when I tell them that Liam Grayson is setting his kitchen on fire because he was cooking?”

“Tease me all you want” he said with a frown, he had woken up a little bit earlier than normal to make breakfast for her, even when the cooks offered him their help, he blatantly declined.

“You might be bad at cooking but there are other ways you can prove yourself to me”

Liam narrowed his eyes at her, was she thinking the same way as him?

“Yeah you can do something other things that responsible husbands do for their wives if you know what I mean”

“Take you out for shopping?” Liam asked curiously,

Amelia waved her hand in denial “Surprise me, ladies love surprises”

“I’m very good at giving surprises” Liam commented while itching his head.

As soon as she left, he tapped on his phone before raising it to his ear. “Abby I need your help! it’s urgent”

..

.

Dylan rushed into the hospital, he received yet another call as soon as he dropped Chloe off at school.

Louisa felt bad hearing about it and decided to go with him. They were directed into the ward by a nurse.

Immediately his father and sister saw him they stood up to grant him an access to sit next to his mum.

Her eyes were closed and she was breathing with the aid of an oxygen mask.

“What happened to her?” he asked worriedly, he thought that this was not so serious.

Louisa glanced at Jenna, the jovial lady she met the other day was now looking so pale and calm. She felt pity for Dylan and didn’t know what to say or do.

“Her blood pressure shot up, and the doctors said that are chances of recovery are very slim, I’m scared bro” Olivia cried out wiping her face with her face towel.

Dylan took Jenna’s hand into his massaging it softly. “Mum I’m here please wake up” he whispered softly.

Jenna’s fingers moved slightly before her eyes fluttered open. “Darling I’m not sure I can make it out of here alive”

“Hush! stop saying stuffs like that” Dylan scolded,

Jenna gasped softly “Dylan I’ve always waited for the day when you will finally get married and settle down”

She took a brief glance at Louisa and smiled “Louisa dear, please come over here”

Louisa snapped out of her daze and walked towards her. “I’m so sorry for what happened to you” Louisa expressed herself.

“I’m glad that you are here”

“Mum Shhh…. you are going to be fine” Dylan comforted stroking her chin.

Olivia cried out loud, while Jerry comforted her “Dear don’t cry”

” I don’t have any more time but before I leave for good I want you to do something for me son, one last thing that will always make me smile in the afterlife” She pulled out the diamond ring from her and handed it to Dylan.

Dylan stared down at the ring and returned his gaze to her face, his eyes was already getting teary by the seconds.

“I want you to make a life time commitment to Louisa now, put the ring on her finger and my spirit will be at rest when I finally die”

Louisa’s eyes widened.. wait! what? was she really serious now? she met Dylan’s pleading eyes and sighed, what she was asking was just too much.

“Mrs Wesley I….

Jenna gasped for breathe as her chest heaved up and down.

“Mum!”

“Please make this happen before I die” her breathing increased.

Louisa panicked, this was really a tight spot for her, why did she even come here in the first place?

Dylan faced Louisa with a pleading gaze, this was his mum’s last wish.

He went on one knee in front of her with the ring in his finger. “Marry me Louisa”

Louisa’s heartbeat increased, her eyes scanned the room everyone of them were in an emotional state and this was the last wish of a dying lady.

“Yes I will marry you”

Dylan sighed in relief and slid the ring on her finger.

He got up and pulled her into his arms, she just relieved him of a huge burden.

“Now for me to leave this beautiful world” Jenna said softly before her head fell to the side.

The door pushed open with a loud bang as some trumpeters came in blowing the loud instrument. Jerry pulled out a bottle of champagne and popped it open.

Olivia picked up her phone which she hid at the side of a flower vase.

Jenna got up from the bed pulling off the mask, she laughed happily. Jerry twirled her around “This is the best day of my life!”

James and Steven walked into the ward with a teasing grin. “Congrats man!”

Dylan and Louisa stood rooted to the ground, nothing was making sense to them anymore. They watched in wonderment as they all danced to the sound of the loud trumpets.
