Dylan's pov
Ah! Screams could be heard. I rushed inside her room to see her struggling with the hair dryer.
"Seriously?I said to myself." I went close to her and held the dryer.
"Wait, you should have been careful with that, haven't you used it before?" I reached for the dryer
She let go of the dryer and I carefully removed the tangled hair. "Thanks" she muttered. "Give it back, I can use it now."
"Na, coming from someone that almost cut her hair." I teased
"Give it back" she yelled
She stood up and came after me" I can do it, I will be more careful this time."
I raised it above my head and I'm definitely taller than her. She stretched herself but couldn't reach it. I couldn't help but laugh. She's putting all her strength, still she can't reach it.
"Dylan!" She called chuckling while I laughed
She pulled closer, placing her hand on my chest when our eyes met. She looked at me steadily for some seconds, I watched as her eyes went to my lips. I continued looking at her, I didn't know what was going on in her mind. I swallowed hard, quite confused. Her eyes moved to mine again then to the dryer.
"The dryer? She asked calmly and plain this time
"Let me help you with it, please?" I said expressionlessly
She went to the bed, sat down and I followed her. I used the dryer on her, ruffling her hair to get all sides. No one spoke to each other, it was awkwardly quiet.
"Nora? Would you like a dessert?"
"No, I'm full, thanks" she replied
"Ooh." I continued running my fingers through her hair until I felt I've done a perfect work.
"All done" I yelled, returning the dryer to the bathroom.
"Thanks" she smiled, packing her hair.
"Good night Nora. See you in the morning, you can try calling Stacy before you sleep." She nodded like a child and I couldn't help but chuckle loudly.
"What? She asked cheerfully
"That was cute" I said and closed the door quietly.
MORNING TIME
"Good morning princess!" I yelled
She yawned and her eyes flickered open. She sprang up and held the duvet.
"Here's your breakfast! I placed a small tray with tea, bread and omelette on the stool beside the bed.
She squealed and let out a grin. "Thanks, I've never had breakfast in bed."
"Woow, its now a thing of the past cause you are just having it."
"Come eat with me" she motioned me to come.
"No, mine is downstairs at the dinning room." I told her, headed towards the door.
"I insist Dylan" she said as I stood Infront of the door.
"Fine" I said and turned to where she was. I sat beside her.
"Then what?" I asked
She went to the sink and washed her hands before coming back. First things first" she said smiling.
"Ok, we are going to share the omelette" she cut it into two and gave me one.
"Hmmm, yummy. Bravo Dylan, how are you so good?" She mumbled with a mouthful of omlette
"Momma taught me, whenever she comes back. I learn one or two cooking techniques from her. She's so good."
She munched it and it's obvious that she's happy. When we were done, she carried the tray to the kitchen. I followed her with arms crossed.
"Can you help me over here? She asked.
I came closer, she tried to drop the cup when the soapy water splashed on my face.
"Ouch! I closed my eyes tightly.
"Oh my God!" She yelled and began pacing obviously looking for a towel or something. When she couldn't find. She led me to the chair there and gave me a bowl of water. I used it to wash my face.
"It's ok, ok?" I assured her and she inhaled hard. I'm so sorry, she held her face.
"We encounter mistakes everytime, it doesn't call for an alarm."
She smiled and continued what she was doing. Its 6:45am
Nora's pov
Time to leave! I wore my clothes and was ready to leave. I've tried calling Stacy but she's still not picking. It got me worried.
I came downwards and saw Dylan playing games. "Are you done already? He stood up abruptly, dropping his game pad.
"Sure! I went straight for the door and he followed.
He locked his gate and walked along side with me. "Do you have class today?"
"Yup but it's a 10am class."
"I don't think I have any today, ooh expect for practicals. shit."I laughed at him.
After few minutes, we reached my building. "See you next time Nora". he muttered "Thanks for the treat! I waved as I watch him cross the road. He's such an angel, why does he even have a girlfriend? I mumbled with the gloom expression all over.
The door was locked, I used the spare key and got in. Stacy? Stacy? I called but no answer.I went to the room, dropped my bag but no one was there. I became scared. My phone rang and I jolted.
"Hello? Its Stacy, sorry I couldn't reach you last night, my phone has issues. I hope everything's fine? Stacy replied
"Yeah! You gat me worried, I have been waiting for a call, tried reaching you but to no avail. Next time, call earlier than this before you kill me.
"Yes ma'am" she laughed over the phone.
"Where are you then?"I asked.
"We had our family dinner yesterday and when I come back, there's something I've got to tell you. She said
"I hope everything's ok? I asked curiously
Of course yes. Meet you in the evening, bye dear".She hung up and I felt relieved. Nothing bad happened.

Dylan's pov
It was 9am, time moves swiftly this days. I took my bath, while using the hair dryer, I remembered the hair dryer incident and laughed. How she tried reaching the dryer was quite funny.
The next scene popped up in my mind, how she stared at my face, my lips as if she longs for a kiss.
"Snap out of it Dylan! The door bell rang and I stood up to open it, its prolly Nora did she forget anything? I beamed with smiles.
Opening the door, my face went plain. Hi Lillian! I managed to say, moving inside.
"Were you expecting someone else? Perhaps a girl? She asked, dropping her bag on the couch as she slumped on it.
"She had this short skimpy gown on. Jeez that's one short gown. I thought to myself.
I went to my gaming room and became busy. "I see that your game is more important than me. Dylan!" She yelled.
I inhaled hard and dropped the game pad, came to where she was.
'What is it? I was on it before you came, that's it." I replied quite angry
"Why are you being grumpy this morning?"
"Oh really? I'm not. Perhaps tired." I lied. I rested my back on the couch, staring at the ceiling.
"Baby!' She called and I looked at her. She stood up and sat on my laps. "I missed you so much, you see I came here because I want to be in your arms." She said as she ran her fingers through my face. I looked at her without saying anything.
She leaned over, our faces were few inches away from each other. She bit her lower lip, caressing my face.
I love you so much Dylan" she crashed her lips on mine. I was shocked.
