Chapter 13. Persistence

“Darling you have a visitor,” Peggy Hunter, Aaron’s mother called from the living room immediately she heard Aaron entering the house.

Aaron wondered who would be looking for him at that time of the night. He’d met with his study group to finalize their presentation so had gotten home late. It was already past eight p.m. Aaron came to an abrupt halt when he entered the living room and saw the man who had been haunting his dreams every night for the past few weeks, sitting on the couch with his mother.

“He’s been here since five p.m. Aaron. He’s such a gentleman too. He helped me make dinner. You didn’t tell me you had such…”

“What the fuck are you doing here?” Aaron asked Kyle in a cold voice.

“Language, Aaron,” Peggy Hunter admonished her son. “Be respectful, Kyle is a guest.”

Aaron gave a short humourless laugh. “Some guest,” He snorted.

“Aaron…” Peggy raised her voice.

“I don’t want him here mum.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Peggy replied.
