” He is already inside! ”


    I bluntly said, taking the pot off the stove.


    ” Already inside huh? ”


    My words seemed to stimte him. He looked at me with yfulness in his eyes. As if encouraging me to tease him.


    I couldn’t help but giggle as I saw Ryan go and sit on the couch after that. Then he began looking at me with a mixture of curiosity and mischief. I decided to have a little fun with him, so I walked up to him and leaned in close, making sure he could smell my perfume, pretending to fetch an ingredient that I didn’t even need in my cooking.


    “What’s up, Ryan?” I asked, batting my eyshes. “You seem a little tense.”


    Ryan rolled his eyes. “Don’t start with me, Sherry. I know you’re up to something.”


    I grinned. “Me? Up to something? Whatever do you mean?” I twirled a strand of my hair around my finger and leaned in even closer. “Let’s just say I have a little something nned for tonight and I am so excited. ”


    Ryan raised an eyebrow. “A little something with who? Did all the blood and gore make you horny? I didn’t know you had such a turn on? ”


    The way he smacked his lips, made me drool. I wanted to jump onto him but I controlled.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    ” I would have made special arrangements to give you all that thrill, had you just dropped a hint earlier that night! ” He winked.


    I pretended to look coy. “Oh, don’t worry about all that now. I found someone special. Someone who knows how to treat ady right and gives me a lot of joy. ”


    Ryan looked at me skeptically. “You’re not making any sense, Sherry. Who could you possibly be going on a date with inside my house?”


    I took a step back and looked at Ryan with a mischievous glint in my eye. “Fine, I’ll tell you. I have a date with someone who lives in this very house and is also close to you.”


    Ryan’s eyes widened. “What? Who?”


    I didn’t know if he was really getting paranoid or he was still ying along?


    I leaned in again, my lips almost touching Ryan’s ear. “Bellow,” I whispered.


    Ryan looked at me in confusion. “Below? Or Below? You’re going on a date with a little boy?”


    Iughed. “Yeah, silly! I decided he needs some cheering up. I’m going to make him dinner and watch a movie with him tonight. So you see, I do have a date, just not the kind you were thinking of.”


    Ryan shook his head, but I could tell he was trying not to smile. ” And what kind was I thinking exactly ording to you? ”


    I kissed him on the cheek and walked away.


    I finally had to clear the mystery around my secret date so Ryan would return to normal. Only then could I ask him about thetest development on the ones that broke into his house and the bulldozer guy who was murdered.


    I always loved leading a simple life. I never understood why people had to resort to violence and everything, just to earn a few more dors. Specifically those who already had everything, unlike paupers like myself.


    ” So what’s the update with those people you went after? ”


    I asked, cleaning the kitchen after myself.


    ” Hhhmmmm! We have some leads. But we need some more information. ”


    He stood up suddenly,


    ” So Sherry, enjoy yourself. I will be heading out again. It’s nice watching you take care of Bellow. I really appreciate that. ”


    He said and turned towards the door as my heart sank, hearing him say goodbye.


    ” Ryan, wait! ”


    My tongue automatically shot the words out and I had no control over myself.


    ” Yes, tell me! ” Ryan turned back.


    ” Ummm, well, I just noticed that Bellow didn’t have his tongue. And you might have noticed it earlier as well that he has a scar from where it was apparently cut off. Ummm, do you know anything about his history? Do you know who did that to him? ”


    I asked as anger sshed on my eyes and I think Ryan didn’t miss it. He came a bit closer.


    He looked into my eyes for a moment for two.


    ” And why do you ask Sherry? ”


    That was his counter question.


    ” Why? Just because… Just because I am angry and mad and losing my mind, thinking what beast could do something so terrible to a little child? What human? ”


    It seemed like I probably had said something very wrong.


    Ryan looked very disturbed after I uttered those words.


    He turned and left without even answering me or excusing himself.


    I saw him from the ss windows in the kitchen that he went straight towards his car. He hit the engines on and revved out of there like a bullet. Even the guards at the gate jumped back at his speed. It looked like he was driving in anger and frustration.


    I stood there for sometime, watching the dust trail that he left behind settle.


    Then I turned around and took the food inside and called Bellow.


    ” Could you please help me set up the projector? ”


    I asked.


    He happily helped me not knowing that the surprise was all for himself.


    Then I brought the food in.


    ” Bellow, let’s watch a lovely movie and enjoy this meal that I made. I promise it will be fun. ”


    He looked hesitant at the beginning. But then gave in when I said that it was Ryan’s order.


    The room was darkened . I lit the candle lights. The projector was set up as well and then I decorated the table a little.


    I saw Bellow run out suddenly, towards his room.


    Then he came back after a while.


    I had never seen him so well dressed.


    It seemed like he had taken a shower and changed clothes.


    He had evenbed his hair.


    Boy! It seemed like my date hade in all his handsomeness.
