**Clara’s POV**

 

I woke up to find Danelle still sleeping.

 

I stood up and made to the bathroom where I brushed and washed my face, then stared at myself in the mirror.

 

Im off duty today, I could rest… no.. I know Danelle won’t let me.

 

She’ll want me to take her to every place she mention.

 

She’s leaving tomorrow, I can’t wait.

 

I walked back to the bedroom to find Danelle awake and sitting on the dressing table.

 

 

“Hey sis goodmorning, how are you and how was your night? mine was great, im fine.” she talked in her usual way.

 

I rolled my eyes and went for my phone.

 

“Fine fine.” I said and picked it up from the beside table.

 

“Im going to the kitchen to make breakfast, follow me.” I said and walked out.

 

“Danelle!” I called outside the bedroom.

 

“Im coming, let me brush!” She said inside the bedroom.

 

 

I headed to the kitchen.

 

My phone began ringing..

 

Mom.

 

I picked it up, placing it on my ear.

“Hello mom.” I said into the phone.

 

“How are you daughter and your sister?”

 

she asked, seeming excited.

“We’re fine mom, what about you?”

 

“Im good. How’s your work?”

 

“It’s okay mom.. Sir Edwardo told me to continue with Dr Campbell.”I said.

 

“That’s good to hear. You’re happy now?” she asked.

 

I rolled my eyes, then smiled, “Ofcourse Iam.”

“So tell me about you and doctor Campbell” she said.

 

I rolled my eyes, “Mom I know where you are heading to right now but just stop there I beg you.” I said.

“Clara, just answer my question ok.” she said.

 

“Mom im just a nurse practitioner, working for him. Nothing more.” I said.

 

“But he want something more Clara.” she said, it vexed me.

 

I sighed, “Okay mom, bye.” I said.

 

“Oh come on, is Danelle there with you?” “She’s in the bedroom, im in the kitchen”

 

 

“Im here.” I heard her voice behind.

 

She came and grabbed the phone and placed it on her ear with a smile.

 

 

“Hello mommy.” she said into the phone.

 

 

Her smile widened, “Yes mom. She’s taking me to Montana today. I do’t think im gonna go tomorrow tho, I love heree.” she said and smirked at me.

 

I chuckled and went off to the cupboard to bring out fry pan and oil.

 

Im making pancake.

 

“I don’t know mom..” she glanced at me, then walked out.

 

I shook my head.

 

**Danelle’s POV**

 

I sat down on the couch, with the phone on my ear, still talking with mom.

 

“Danelle, Did Clara tell you anything about her boyfriend?”

 

“Yeah she did. She said he’s in Africa on a business with his dad. I’ve never liked

 

Noah. I just feel he’s not even the right person for sister even though he helped her out of her heart break.” I said.

 

“Me too but you know we can’t do anything. Im just tired of being at others weddings, I want to be in my daughter’s too. Im tired.” mom said.

“Ofcourse you will mom, you got two beautiful daughters.. It’s only a little more

 

time.” I said.

 

I could feel her smiling now.

“Mom, I think sister wants to make pancake. I’ll go help out.” I said and stood up.

 

“Alright,.go hand her the phone.. I still wanna talk with her for a minute.” she said.

 

“Alright.” I smiled and hurried to the kitchen.

 

 

Oh I was right. Sister is making pancake.

 

 

“Hey sis, have the phone, let me do this one.” I said handing her the phone, then went over to the fry pan on the cooker.

 

 

“Mom im not gonna answer this again. I told you that Noah will soon be back. He always did.” sis said into the phone.

 

“Mom you know what? bye. Im gonna call you later.” she said and ended the call.

 

 

“Why can’t mom even understand me!” she said out.

 

 

“Mom can’t be wrong sister.” I said.

 

She frowned and headed to the fridge.

 

“I know what is right and what is wrong Danelle, im your elder sister.” she said. “But sometimes, elders take the wrong path too and im not correcting you sister,

 

im talking about mom doing that.” I said.

 

She picked out a bottle water and closed the fridge, then turned to me.

 

“Danelle I know Noah.. He loves me, we love each other, if mom don’t understand that.. then that’s her business and not mine.” I said.

 

I sighed.

“She’s just scared. She doesn’t want you going through what she went through. She

 

don’t want you becoming a single mother someday like she is now. She wants the best for us sister Clara.”

 

She came to me and placed her hand on my shoulder, with a smile.

“Noah is the best for me.. Now, get the pancake down.” she said and moved to the

 

sink.

 

I shrugged and did.

 

“So, when should we head to Montana cos I can’t wait!” I asked, changing the

 

discussion.

“Twelve is okay.” she said.

 

 

I rolled my eyes, “That’s too far sister, let’s go by ten.” “No Danelle.”

 

“Yes sister”

 

 

The doorbell rang.

 

“Who is that? I’ll go check.” she said and walked out.

 

 

I picked out the plates to dish out the pancake.

 

**Clara’s POV**

 

I got to the door and pulling it open, I was suprised to see it was Drake.

 

He’s expression was stoic as he stared from my head to my toe.

 

huh?

 

I frowned, “Why are you here?” I asked.

“A goodmorning should have been more appropriate than that question. Why ain’t

 

you dressed for work?” he asked.

“What’s your business with that?”

 

“Came to take you to work, I don’t work today.” he said.

 

I chuckled.

“Drake, im off duty today, thanks for your help but I don’t need it.” I said and took

 

a step in but he grabbed my arm.

“Drake!”

 

“Why do you feel like I can’t get you?” he asked, with an angered tone.

 

I rolled my eyes, “You won’t.. im not cheap, not at all. Now let go off my arm ” I said.

 

His frown disappeared into a sad expression and his grip on my arm loosened but he still held it.

 

“Your boyfriend is not yet back, he might never come back for you. He might have

 

found someone more lively than you cos you’d be so boring.” he said and finally let go off my arm.

 

What he just said hurt me.. but I know im not boring but why did it hurt me?

 

Noah had never said that I am.

 

I stared at him with fierce.

 

I couldn’t help the anger of what he just said.

 

He let out a smirk smile at me.

 

“I can’t be the only one to be angered here. Anyways im so–” he got cut short by Danelle’s voice behind me.

 

“Drake! goodmorning.”

 

He smiled at her, “Hey Danelle, how are you doing?” “Im fine and you?”

 

“Im not fine.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Your sister doesn’t like me.” he said.

 

I rolled my eyes, “Im closing this door now.” I said.

“Wait sister!” Danelle said and came to the door.

 

“My sister and I are going to Montana park today, wanna join us?” “Danelle!” I shouted.

 

“Please, don’t mind my sister. She’s just over protective and over conscious.

 

Pleaseeee.”

“Wow.. ofcourse.” Drake said.

 

I rolled my eyes and walked away to a couch.

 

“We’re leaving by twelve. You gonna take us in your car cos I don’t wanna go there in cab pleaseee.” she said.

“That’s not a problem.” he said.

 

“Oh my! im so excited.” she said.

 

 

Then there was a moment silence before Danelle laughed.

“Alright, till then.” she said.

 

“Yeah.” Drake said and then the door closed.

 

 

“Danelle, you gotta tell me the truth now, do you like Drake? or rather, are you having some crush on him? tell me the truth.” I said.

 

She smiled, “C’mom sister. I just like him nothing more. He’s nice. He’s taking us in his car. We won’t have to take cab to Montana anymore.” she said.

 

I slapped my forehead.

“Danelle you are giving me headache. After all I told you about that guy huh!” I

 

said.

“I still think he’s nice. C’mon sister the pancake is getting cold.” she said and ran

 

off to the kitchen.

 

I touched my forehead.

 

‘Oh my God’

 

**Drake’s POV**

 

I sat on the couch, with my head on the headrest, my legs on the table, browsing on my laptop with the music playing softly.

 

No matter how hard i’ve tried.. I still wanna be close to Clara.

 

It’s so bad..

 

I can’t stop..and it’s getting worst.

 

I thought becoming this way would be better, I thought being a play boy would make me forget everything, but Clara is so stubborn.. she’s making me become soft again.. she’s making me remember her.

 

‘I can’t be inlove with Clara.’

 

I chuckled.

 

‘I just want her but she’s too stubborn but im I so desperate.’

 

Anyways, I’ve gotta prepare for a ride to Montana, Maybe I could finally get her today.

 

**Clara’s POV**

 

Danelle was already picking out her dress.

 

Staring really well at herself in the mirror.

 

I sat on the bed, going through my phone.

 

It’s too early to worry about a dress to wear to Montana.

 

I chuckled, “What’s all that for?”

 

She smiled.

“I love this dress.” she said.

 

“For Neil right?” I chuckled.

 

She faced me and laughed, “C’mon sis, I just love this dress and you need your bikini, cos we’re going to swim, here’s mine.” she said.

 

“It’s been awhile I did that but only would I swim in bikini if Drake doesn’t come with us.” I said.

“Why!” she frowned.

 

“Your lousy mouth caused it.” I said.

 

“Come on sis, Let’s make it a group! Me, Neil, you, drake or you’re shy?” she said

 

with a grin.

 

I frowned, “Danelle!”

“Im sorry.” she muttered.
