I’m Dedicated To You

“You can live with me,” we heard someone says while entering the room and the person is Bradley Hale.

“Welcome back,” I say scratching my hair with my free hand and looking behind Bradley to see who says you can live with me but I saw no one they gives me the conclusion that I was actually hearing things and I think that what my friends also concluded because the two of them is not raising questions about it. But are we hearing things, I asked myself.

He stared at us inquisitively and maybe when he sees that we are not giving thought to what he just said he repeats himself.

“I said you can live with me,” he says with his eyebrow cocked and you can see that he is visibly pissed off, I mean who the hell does he think he is and why does he keeps getting angry at us, I thought to myself because I didn’t have the balls to say it out loud.

I looked over to my friends and their expectations were the same as mine I mean Olivia is staring at him with her mouth wide open and Victoria is staring at him with her eyes almost out of their sockets and I can’t help but feel so ashamed of these girls can they please act normal and he might even be joking about why he just said.

“I didn’t know Mr. Bradley is really good at making jokes,” I say with a dry smile and he stared at me amused.

“Miss Grey you really have the habit of making me a comedian I think this is the second time you are making me that today,” he says and my friends turn to look at me with a glare of ‘Did you really want to die so bad’ and I also return the glare at them.

“Mr. Hale thanks so much for the offer but I don’t think we have a problem with accommodation, “Victoria finally says and I thanked God someone finally got back their tongue.

“But I hear you guys saying that reporters are littering your houses and you need a place to stay”. I and my friends looked at him with questioning gazes wondering how he knew that we have a problem like that but I think he got the gist.

“Don’t look at me that way I overheard you guys discussing it”

“Overheard or eavesdropping?”I questioned with a naughty smile and I immediately got pinched by Olivia and I realized who I just play silly with and that got me thinking if I really care about my life.

“I don’t think you need to trouble yourself we can sort it out ourselves, “Victoria says but Olivia quickly cuts in.

“Mr. Hale is such a kind person he helps with your hospitalization and now he wants to accommodate us, “Olivia says beaming with a smile like a fan girl that saw her favorite idol and I can’t help but want to throw up about my friend’s shamelessness.

“I don’t think we need to bother Mr. Hale with our problems like Tori says we will sort out our problems ourselves,” I think getting entangled with someone in his class is not going to be so pleasant so it’s better to cut off the ties now.

“I will go to make some calls, “Victoria says and she exits the hospital room to call anyone she knows that we can stay because that’s the only plausible solution we come up with and that leaves me with Bradley and Olivia.

“I think my offer is the best one you can come across” I heard him say and I can’t help but want to knock some sense into him.

“Mr. Hale we are not going to your place I won’t even mind sleeping under alleys because people in your class are always trouble, “I say remembering that I was even in this mess in the first place because of a spoilt young master that finds fun in ruining innocent girls lives and I get my bottled anger that I have been holding in about to burst out.

“There is no need to get defensive Best it’s not like Mr. Hale is doing anything wrong he just wants to help us I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that” Ollie explained and I can’t help but feel guilty because what she says is true and he has been nothing but good to me even when I insulted him.

“I am sorry Mr. Hale I don’t mean to get so defensive earlier let’s just say I lost my mind for a while”I apologized bowing my head but when I get no response I raised my head and looked at but his expression is complicated and I can’t seems to read which is rare because as an actress I have met a lot of people and I know when they are fake because a lot of people are white lotus in the entertainment industry but whenever I looked at this man I always get stuck because it’s like he is wearing a mask, a mask that hides his emotions.

“You know if you accept my offer you won’t have to suffer any injustice from anyone”.

“Mr. Hale I really don’t want to live with you,” I say frustrated.

“I am not talking about that”.

“Then what are you talking about”.

“Marry me I already proposed that you know,” he says and Olivia dropped something that makes a loud sound in the room after that the room fell into silence and Olivia stared at me asking for an explanation about what Bradley just said and I can’t help but facepalm myself because I didn’t say anything to my friends about that because I didn’t even have the time to say anything to them about it.

“Ollie it’s not like anything you thinking, “I say trying to reason with my friend because I know a lot of murderous thoughts are going through her head because of the betrayal.

“Mr. Hale is actually joking and he didn’t mean anything serious right,” I say signaling Bradley to say something in my favor because sick or not Ollie is not going to take the matter well.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“But I asked you to marry me so, I don’t think it’s a joke,” he says with a nonchalant look like he doesn’t care if something bad happens to me for what he just said and I can’t help but to cursed him silently.

“Best I think whatever it’s going on in your mind is alright but you shouldn’t have any murderous thoughts” I pleaded with her but she burst into smiles and that doesn’t add up because the Ollie I know won’t have this matter well but before I raised an issue about it Victoria walks into the room.

“Tori can we go now”I say quickly getting out of bed and trying to avoid explaining anything to Olivia.

“Mr. Hale does your offer still stand,” Victoria asked politely…..
