LOVE AGAIN

I went back to the living room only to see a giant man in black suit in my former position and sleeping Val resting on his lap.

His eyes were so dark and that evil grin on his face.

“What the fuck!” I snapped, startled, scared to death. Because of the bedtime red lights decoration in my living room, I thought for a moment that it was a vampire from the horror movie we watched that night.

My scream made Val talk in her sleep.

“How, what.. how is it Dan are you okay?”

Val said sleepily but he stroked her hair down softly.

.

“Shhhhhh”he whispered.

She lay back and eventually slept on.

How did he get in here and Val has no idea he was the one.

I clenched my fists righty, this time I am going to give this brat a piece of me.

“You can’t just come into my house uninvited!”

I yelled at him, my teeth glitching.

“Looks like you have big plans for tonight, did I interrupt something?”

He replied with a smirk.

That brat! I frowned back.

“I have had enough of your bossy bullshit…”

I took a step forward, blindly hitting my leg against the table.

It made a shift sound and Valerie woke up.

“What .. Dan .. Dan”.

She sat up and rubbed her eyes, seeing the boss, she rubbed it harder to be sure.

“Where am I?”she asked, confused.

I was too angry to talk.

“You are at Dan’s place”he replied to her instead.

“Dan, Dan where are you at?”

“I am here, Val,”I replied, still wondering how he got into my house. I had checked my windows, if it was broken but it wasn’t.

“So if this .. is Dan’s house… so … what are you doing here Mr Prince?”she replied, still rubbing her eyes, yawning.

He said nothing but smiled down at her.

“You’re cute, now let’s go home”he replied to her and grabbed her wrist.

But Valerie tried to stop him.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Let go, I promised Dan, I am going to sleep over, and you did say you are okay with it, why are you here, I can’t believe you came back here after my plea”.

Val snapped angrily at him, I like where this is going.

He stopped at the door, his head tilted up then down before turning to face her.

He let go of her hard and leaned forward to her height.

“Fine then I will sleep over too”.

He replied and returned to the couch.

“Prince, enough of this intimidation, I am a grown man, older than you, you can’t come to my house and act like I am just a nobody just because I am a middle class man,”

“Dan, please don’t say such things,”Val pleaded.

I wasn’t done, I had to do something about this brat.

“Valerie is clearly not comfortable with you, why are you forcing yourself on her!”

Prince stood up, I think that last statement hit him hard, he walked and stood in front of me then leaned lower, spoke into my face.

“What! Now, playing victim? Is that how stupid you are?”

I clenched my fists tightly, I won’t take his insults anymore.

He grabbed and pulled Valerie’s hand up and showed the backside of her fingers to me.

“She’s my wife and I won’t take it lightly with you if you lay, even a finger”he growled.

My eyes widened in shock as I saw a glittering diamond ring on her finger.

“Is this true Valerie? How…When?” I stuttered.

She looked shocked,

“When did you put a ring on my finger Prince?”

That’s it!

I smacked him hard on the face, he stopped my blow, then in a blink smack of fists landed on my face.

I felt my nose misshapen by that hit and I tasted blood in my mouth.

I painfully cleaned my mouth and glared up at him, he was cool and grinding. I clenched my fingers again for a fight back.

“Dan!”

Val snapped back, eyes widened in shock and stood in between us, she turned back to Prince and hit him.

“Prince! What’s going on with you! I told you never to come here! Why are you so good at abusing people!”

She cried out.

She came to me.

“Dan, I am sorry but you shouldn’t have hit him first”.

I frowned at that statement.

“Ask him what he is doing here, don’t I have the right to my own privacy? He came uninvited and insisted on sleeping over, am I joke to you? Spoiled brat! Maybe you need more fists on your face!”

“Dan please stop, your nose is bleeding already”.

She patted me gently on the shoulder then turned to Prince.

“Prince, can we talk, right now”.

She instructed and left the room.

He glared at me for sometime then left the room.

I touched my nose , went to the couch and pinch it lightly to stop the bleeding, lying on the couch.

**PRINCE’S POV**

As soon as we got outside, she held her head.

“I’m so confused right now, what are you doing here for goodness sake he is just heartbroken I am the only person he needs, I begged you , why are you acting this way? You hit him! How could you!”

“He hits me first, that’s all you have to say, do you care so much about him more than your husband ?”

“Oh for goodness sake! What husband, what marriage are you talking about? Be reasonable like an adult Prince! I didn’t even know when you put the goddamn ring on my finger!”

She yelled out.

I can tell she’s really angry.

She folded her hand angrily beneath her chest while I looked away from her, rolled my tongue angrily.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath pushing down every violent idea.

“I am sorry”.

“Your sorry won’t erase your action inside there”.

My fury came boiling.

I grabbed her by both arms and shook her till she looked horrified like she saw a monster instead of me.

“Really? Are you serious right now! I was polite enough to apologize, he hit me first, you expect me not to retaliate? I can’t let you sleep over a man’s house, you are married Valerie and he is not your brother so don’t tell me he is your acting brother!”

“Dan is more than a brother to me!”

She yelled back with balls of tears dripping down her face.

“Really? Then why did I see him messing around while you sleep? I had to come in and protect you”I snapped back.

“What do you mean by messing around?”she asked in doubt.
