See It the Way I Do

❣33❣

Breakfast in bed! Keith really knows how to surprise me.

Charissa could not surpress her smile as she devoured the unique breakfast Keith had prepared for her. She sat cozily on the bed and sipped her coffee from the mug.

"Are you enjoying the food?" Keith asked. He was sitting on the little sofa in her room.

"Absolutely! It's amazing," she commented and ate some eggs. "You didn't have to prepare this. I could have eaten on the dining table".

"Charissa, I told you that you won't regret staying here. I want you to enjoy yourself," he replied and waggled his brows.

"Yes! I'm totally enjoying myself"

He rose from the couch and moved to he. "Are you still going to work as Zach's p.a?"

"Yeah! I have no choice for now"

"Um....Alright! Just make sure you ask him about the total amount he spent to get me out of jail. I want to pay him back. I don't want him to control you because of that," he sat beside her and his eyes drifted into hers. "If he dares to hurt you, tell me".

"Sure!"

"Today I'll be going for an interview. Ever since my dad had me arrested. He stopped giving me any allowance and ensured I wasn't allowed into his mansion. I'll see if I can get a good job soon"

"That sounds like a good idea"

"I'm still doing online lessons. I want to be an automobile technician. I hope my dreams will come true," he sighed and forced a weak smile.

"If there is anyway I can help, tell me. I want your dreams to come true"

"Thanks!"

Silence fell between them and Charissa took her time to eat. When she was done, she asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Yes!"

"Okay!" She voiced and rose to her feet. "Thanks. I enjoyed the meal".

"Your welcome!"

She picked the tray, moved to the door and paused. "There is something I'm forgetting".

"What?" Keith asked as he made his way to her.

Charissa frowned and rubbed her brow. "There is something I am forgetting. I just can't remember what".

"Err? Did you forget something at home?"

"No! Wait...um..It's a name. I forgot...um..." she trailed off and grunted. She rubbed her forehead and furrowed her brows.

"What name?"

"Sssh!" she hushed him and wiggled her index finger in the air. "Oh...yeah! I remember".

Keith cocked a brow as he watched a broad smile dance on Charissa's face. "So what's the name?"

Charissa placed her hand on her mouth and giggled.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Peanut! I was trying to remember your nickname. I can't believe I actually forgot that awesome name"

Keith's jaw literally dropped as he stared at her in disbelief. "You've got to be kidding me!" he exclaimed.

"I'm not joking. I like that nickname," she chuckled and skipped out of the room. She got to the kitchen and placed the tray on the sink. "I'll...err...wash the dishes". Charissa had always had servants at her beck and call. For some reason, she wanted to impress Keith by washing the dishes but the fact was that she hasn't done it for long. She switched on the tap, picked the plates and began to rinse them.
