Chapter 218 - I like you

With their hands intertwined together, Amy and Steve were walking down the street towards Steve's place.

" So was I a gentleman tonight?" Steve asked.

Amy pouted her lips and said," Ahhh I have to think about that. Considering the fact that you let me have the last slice of pizza, I guess yes."

Steve smiled and asked," So I am your boyfriend starting today?"

" May be, May be not." Amy said.

Steve shook his head and said," This is not going to work, to stay on a safer side I'll tell everyone at school that you are girlfriend."

" Did I agree to be one?" Amy asked.

Steve smiled and said," I know you will."

Amy chuckled and said," You are so confident about yourself."

" Well, why wouldn't I? It's almost 9 and you are walking down this remote street with me hand in hand. We just had pizza together and we also shared a scoop of ice cream. You got jealous for a stranger whom I had never seen in my entire life and you also told her that I am your boyfriend. If you didn't like me, why would you do all of that?" Steve said.

Amy chuckled and said," Blah, who likes you? When did I say that I like you?"

Giving her hand a light squeeze, Steve said," Even if you don't, but I do."

Amy lowered her head and blushed. Even she liked Steve and why wouldn't she? He was her saviour, her guardian angel. If not for him, she would have never been where she is now. 

" The driver is there to take you." Steve said before stopping right in front of his house.

Tiptoeing, Amy gave him a peck on his cheek and said," I'll see you tomorrow at school." before letting go of his hand and rushing towards her car.

Touching his cheeks with his eyes still wide open in shock, Steve shouted," I'll call you."

Amy smiled and said," Okay." before boarding the car and leaving.

Jumping and shouting in excitement for quite some time, Steve took a few deep breaths before entering his house.

….

Inside.

" Aahh you are back?" Uncle Thomas asked.

Steve nodded his head and said," Yes."

" Go wash your hands and have some dessert. It's your favourite choco truffle." Aunt Lily said.

" I'll eat with a spoon." Steve said, there was no way he was going to wash his hands today. 

Aunt Lily frowned and said," Steve what happened in your cheek?" before getting up and walking towards him.

Touching his cheeks, Steve asked," What?"

Rubbing his cheeks, Aunt Lily smiled and said," Oh, it's lipstick."

Stepping back, Steve scratched his forehead awkwardly and said," I should go." Before rushing towards his room.

After Steve left, Aunt Lily chuckled and said," Your son is becoming a man Mr Green."

" I like Amy." Uncle Thomas said,

….

Jones mansion.

" Grandpa." Jeren said before giving grandpa Jones a hug.

" Ahh my darling, how are you?" Grandpa Jones asked.

Jeren nodded her head and said," I am fine."

" Why did you run away from home like that?" Grandpa Jones asked.

Jeren lowered her head and said," I wanted to come here and continue my studies but mom and dad didn't want to so I ran away."

Grandma Jones sighed and said," You shouldn't act so recklessly and besides you should listen to your mom and dad. They have their reasons for not letting you come here."

Pausing for a while, Grandpa Jones said," But since you are already here, I'll help you get admission in one of best colleges here and-"

" Dad dinner is ready." Jackie said.

" Uncle Jackie." Jeren said before rushing towards him.

Giving her a weak smile, Jackie gave her a light pat before walking inside.

" Princess, let's go and meet grandma." Grandpa Jones said.

Jeren nodded her head and rushed inside.

…..

Hospital.

When Silvia woke in the middle of the night, Kevin was reading a document.

" What aren't you sleeping?" Silvia asked.

" I slept a lot today honey." Kevin said.

Snuggling closer, Silvia said," You should sleep more."

" Are you still upset about Janet?" Kevin asked.

Silvia sighed and said," I just don't know what is wrong with her."

Kevin cleared his throat and said," Well I think I know why."

" Why?" Silvia asked.

Keeping quiet for quite sometime, Kevin said," Actually it was Janet's father who attacked us that day."

Silvia frowned and asked," Janet's dad?"

Kevin nodded his head and said," Yes."

" But why?" Silvia asked.

Kevin shook his head and said," I don't know."

" Why did Janet stopped talking to me then?" Silvia asked.

" It's because Rocky told her that it was her father who did this because he wanted to warn her." Kevin said.

Silvia frowned and said," And that stupid girl is feeling guilty now."

Kevin nodded his head and said," May be."

Silvia sighed and said," It's not her fault, her father is an evil man and I would never blame her for this."

Silvia knew everything about the Brown family and she hated Andrew Aaron Brown as much as Janet did. 

" I want to meet her." Silvia said.

" Babe it's almost 1:00 am." Kevin said.

Silvia sighed and said," I want to go home." 

" You have to stay here for a few more days." Kevin said.

" I don't like it here." Silvia said.

Kissing her forehead, Kevin said," Just a few days."

Placing her head on his chest, Silvia asked," Why did Mr Brown attack you?"

Kevin thought for a while and said," I don't know."

He didn't want to tell Silvia about SPIRIT and the competition until he finds out everything. He didn't want to scare her by telling her only a few things about SPIRIT.

…..

California.

" Jeren is with father." Sabrina said.

Geogre sighed and said," Thank God she is fine."

" We can go there after sometime, dad is making arrangements." Sabrina said.

Holding Sabrina's hand, George said," It's going to be okay."

Holding back her tears, Sabrina said," I am not ready to face her. What if she hates us George?"
