Stolen moments

Chapter 33(B)

Silently we moved my little belongings and stuffs into the new apartment, putting the boxes and bags on the floor before arranging and sorting everything out.

I moved into my apartment officially today, Alfredo is giving me an helping hand. The heavy stuffs like furniture, electronic gadgets have been moved in and set up already.

"Where should I put this?" He asked again, carelessly holding a vase which was quite expensive.

"Careful!" I quickly hold unto it before it slips away from his hand, placing it on its rightful place which was beside the oval shaped golden rimmed mirror in the living room. "It's a gift from Katherine and she will kill me if it gets broken"

"How come I never got a vase as a gift from her?" He mused as he goes through the rest.

"Maybe because you are too roguish for a delicate thing like a vase" I teased.

"Mean... " I chuckle at his words as I take the set of delicate looking plates I got from mother to my kitchen.

You must be wondering why we call her Katherine, she doesn't like it when we call her grandma, in fact she was the one who had us call her by her name, she said calling her grandma makes her feel old. What is with old people being scared of aging?

David loves the term grandpa though, in fact he adores it.

"Alfred!"

"Yeah!" He answered from one of the rooms in the apartment.

"I need your help here!" Seconds later, he came out as I told him to help me in hanging one of the portraits because I couldn't reach it, his arms flexed from under the white tee shirt as he does it with ease.

"Is that all?" He smirks due to my short stature.

"Yes.. Thank you so much"

I said as we both walked into the kitchen, i brought out a can of soda from the fridge. The first thing I did was to stock my kitchen with food when I got here this morning.

"Thank you for helping me, are you sure this is not interfering with work?" he shrugs as I took a sip of my opened soda.

"Am the boss Leah and dad knows am here so he is filling up for me today. Speaking of dad... He is not happy with the way you moved out" I sigh.

"Him and mum uhn?" He nods.

"He believes you still need adequate security and protection"

"From what?" He shrugs "they are getting married very soon, i don't want to be in the house when they do the dirty" he chuckled "Am serious, moreover... I need my personal space"

"Then stay with me in my condo, there is a lot of space there" he cajoled again.

"Why do I have a feeling that you and dad don't want me out of sight?, you are beginning to sound overprotective"

"We don't want anything happening to you" he defended.

"Nothing will happen to me here, this building has enough security"

"Am only sure of that if you are still living in the estate or you live with me in my condo" he persisted.

"Says the guy who sneaks around with his sister's best friend" I said with a smirk appearing on my face as I see a faint blush appear on his cheeks but he is quick to look away.

It happened two days ago when I went to drop some files for him, dad sent me on the errand that early morning so he was not expecting me. When I got in, i bump into Rosalia who was coming out of his room as she buttoned her shirt and tried to tame her sex hair.
