Secret Love

chapter 16

"Hey baby, wake up," My dad said kissing my cheek.

I yawned waking up as i smiled at him. I was really exhausted .

"Morning Dad, what time is it?" i asked sitting up.

"Its almost nine. You kind off slept in today."

"Oh no! Am so late for school," i said getting up from the bed, but he was quick to stop me.

"You look exhausted, plus you are already late. You should just rest today."

"Really?!

" Yes Really. "

"Who are you and what did you do to my Dad ?" i asked my eyes wide open.

Dad just looked at me smiling while nodding his head.

"Sorry i woke you, but i have to go out of town again. I have been planning on opening another restaurant in the city and and thats what keeping me busy. I wish i didn't  have to go especially now but its only going to be till wednesday," he said sounding worried.

"Dont worry Dad , i'll be fine and anyway , Ethan is here with me."

"I know, but i cant help but worry. Anyway, i've already made plans with Jay and Ethan. Jay will take you to  and from School everyday and will watch over you at school and Ethan will be with you whenever you have to go out until Jim is behind bars, and if i have to hire bodyguards for you i will,"

"Okay....but please stop exaggerating Ethan and Jay will do."

"Am not exaggerating,  I have to go now," he said kissing my forehead and getting up from the bed. "Bye."

"Bye Dad ."

I was still very sleepy and since i had the whole day to myself i decided to go back to sleep. Before i could  lay my head on the pillow Ethan walked in the room.

"Am sorry to walk in like this, but your phone has been ringing nonestop," he said handing it to me. " Its Serena."

With all that happened over the weekend i forgot i had a phone. I can't even remember the last time i had it.

"Thank you Ethan," i told him as he left the room.

"Hi Serena, Morning," i said answering the call.

"Don't Morning me, i was so worried about you! Why are you not in school are you okay?"

"Yes, am fine i just woke up late."

" Okay, am glad you are fine. Is Jay there with you by any chance?"

" No , why?"

"He is also not in school."

"I haven't seen him  yet, i just woke up."

"Okay, i'll see you tomorrow then," bye.

"Bye," i said hanging up.

Why dint Jay go to school? I hoped he was okay.

There was no way i was going back to sleep after that so i got up and  pulled my hair in a ponytail ,then i washed my face and headed downstairs.

When i got there Ethan was busy getting coffee and hot chocolate ready. His mind seemed to be somewhere else and so i went to him and placed my hand on his shoulder which really startled him.

"Hey ...dont do that ,are you trying to give me a heart attack or something?" he asked his hand on his chest .

"Am sorry....whats wrong? You looked kind off lost?"
