HIS STRANGE DAMSEL

‍️ XAVIER’s POV ‍️

“Delaney!” I screamed and ran to hug her.

She didn’t hug me back, she just stood and I could tell she was confused or rather my action was unbelievable to her.

I released her from the hug and stared at her face, “you made me worry almost to death.”

She just rolled her eyes and walked away from the door, walking further into the house.

“Delaney?” I called and held her left arm and made her turn to look at me.

“I need to sleep okay? It’s late already.” She sighed and yanked my hands away from his grip.

I watched as she started towards the stairs.

My jaw dropped and I felt bad. It was as if my heart was pierced with a knife.

I lowered myself on the nearest couch and sighed sadly.

After worrying myself almost to death and staying awake waiting for her, this is what I get?

KENNY’s POV

I alighted from my car and locked the doors. I took slow strides into the house and all I felt was anger and betrayal.

I opened the door and walked into the house, it was quiet and I couldn’t find anyone in the sitting room.

I plonked myself on the sofa and crossed my legs. I placed my bag on the table and loosened my hair and let it fall down freely down my shoulder.

I pulled my shoes and placed my back to rest properly on the head of the sofa.

I closed my eyes and sighed tiredly. Then, I heard footsteps, it was close and that made me snap my eyes open.

“Kenny, you’re home.” Jerry smiled and stood in front of me, his hands were behind his back and I could tell that he was nervous.

His hair was wet and he was on his pyjamas – looks like he just had his bath.

Even till now, I still admire and droll over him.

“I”d just go to bed now.” I scoffed and stood up from the sofa, picking up my stuff’s.

“Before you get mad at me and take any drastic situation, can you at least please here what I have to say?” He said and held my arm firmly.

“Be quick!” I snapped and yanked his hand away and sat back on the sofa.

Just then, I heard footsteps and I saw the woman and her daughter climbing down the stairs.

I felt angry but I didn’t want to do anything drastic that I’ll regret forever.

If Jerry doesn’t have a good explanation for this, then he should get ready to loose Chelsea and I.

He is lucky that Chelsea isn’t home but he’s definitely still gonna explain himself to her when she returns. And of course I know Chelsea would really be mad at him.

“Hi.” The woman smiled at me but I huffed and rolled my eyes.

Why’s she smiling?

Does she think I’ll just accept her into my matrimonial home just like that?

She’s must be a joker and a dreamer.

‘so, firstly, I want to apologise sincerely to the both of you. And I’m sure that you two might have lots of questions going on in your head and tonight, I’ll try to clear any air of confusion.

And I want us to settle this amicably.” He said and darted his eyes to the three of us.

He took a deep breath and adjusted properly on the sofa beside me.

“I met Clarissa first. We were in love and we planned our future together, we made promises to each other.

My colleagues and I had gone to the beach today have fun and when we’re done, we decided to leave. We had gotten to the parking lots when I remembered that I left something behind.

I told them to wait for me as I wanted to get something and I’ll be quick about it.

I went back and to my utmost surprised, I saw a naked woman coming out of the water and looking lost.

I tried to run away but she called me back and told me she wouldn’t harm me. I mustered enough courage and went to meet her.

I pulled off my jacket and used it to wrap her nudity.

I took her home and she told me everything. That she wasn’t from Earth and all that.

I decided to take her in and help her. I didn’t tell Clarissa because I was afraid that she”d break up with me and I didn’t want that.

The woman Kenny was like strange because she acted strangely and she didn’t Know a lot of things.

Weeks later, I noticed that ever since Kenny came, things had been working out greatly and exceptionally.

I had different huge contracts worth billions of dollars and then, I concluded that she might be an angel in disguise.

I helped Kenny learn a lot of things by giving her a tutor.

I didn’t know but I felt selfish as I suddenly fell in love with her.

I was in love with two women!

I didn’t tell Kenny I had a lover and I didn’t tell Clarissa too.

Then one night, Kenny and I made love to each other.

I felt guilty because I knew what I was doing was wrong but I couldn’t help it.

Kenny became pregnant and considering everything she had done for me and the love I had for her, I decided to get married to her.

I didn’t want my child to be a bastard and grow up without a father. We confessed our feelings for each other and I promised to get married to her.

I felt really bad and I knew I had to end my relationship with Clarissa.

I ended my relationship with Clarissa and I told her my reason was because I didn’t love her anymore – that wasn’t the truth because I still loved her but I couldn’t keep two women.

Clarissa was mad at me and she was very sad. She had begged me but I refused. She told me I shouldn’t leave her but I told her couldn’t.

And that was when she broke the news that she was pregnant.

I was confused ; really confused.

I tried to talk to her but she ran away. Days later, I went to look for her but I was sad and down casted because she already left.

Her neighbor gave me a letter she dropped before she left and in the letter she said she had gone to look for happiness elsewhere and I shouldn’t bother them look for her.

Even if I couldn’t see her, I could still tell that she had written the letter in tears and in a broken state.

She also stated in the letter that she already terminated the pregnancy because she can’t take care of a child on her own.

I tried looking for her if not for anything but to apologise wholeheartedly to her.

Kenny and I got married and out love blossomed.

Our marriage was blissful as Kenny was s good wife. We had our first child Chelsea and I was so happy.From NôvelDrama.Org.

I didn’t hear from Clarissa and I concluded that she might have moved on already.

And that was what really happened.” Jerry concluded his speech, staring down at his feet.

I was speechless as I didn’t know what to say.

Clarissa was in tears.

“And Kenny, it was just days ago that I got to know that Clarissa didn’t terminate the child like she had made me believe. That’s her daughter, Alicia.” He added and this time, his gaze was on me.

‘so, what’s gonna happen? Are they gonna leave here with us?” I asked, breaking the silent.

Clarissa glanced at me and wiped her tears and I mentally huffed.

“I’ll go to bed now.” I said and stood up.

Since he doesn’t have an answer, it’s best I leave. “Ken…” His voice trailed off as I cut him off.

“Don’t Kenny me.”

Without turning to look at any of them, I made my way upstairs and to my room.

DELANEY’s POV

“What is it Delaney, you can talk to me.” Xavier’s mom cooed softly and held my hands in hers.

“It’s about what I’ve been feeling towards Xavier and it seems to be overwhelming and I can’t understand the feeling.

I don’t know what to call the feeling and I’m confused.” I stated and stared at her as if telling her to read my heart and tell me answers.

“Okay? Tell me everything. Explain all what you feel and I’ll tell you what it means.” She smiled at me.

I exhaled and bit my lower lip nervously.

“I want to be close to him all the time, I want to get to touch him, make him look at me with caring eyes.

I want the hold him and I want to be the only one he would look at and pay attention to. I want him to kiss me all the time without caring about people being around.

I want him to smile at me, play with my hair and tease me. I want him to do a lot of things to me and he wouldn’t do it to other girls.

And I get this tingling feeling anytime I see him. My heart will flutter and it feels as if there are butterflies dancing in my stomach.

I feel happy. And hell, the feeling is confusing. I don’t want him to get mad at me too.” I explained and pouted my lips.

Her eyes lit up and she looked very happy.

Is it a good feeling?

Why’s she happy?

She smiled at me and hugged me, stroking my hair affectionately.

And I heard her whisper, “love.”
