C40 Three Against One

We spent the remaining time chatting and gisting, getting to know each other, our likes and our dislikes. He's a funny guy and I find communicating with him easy. It's like when I am with him I can talk anyhow I want without minding if he will be offended or not.

We made jokes and laughed. He encouraged me and I encouraged him. He asked me all I knew about business and I gave him my intakes. He couldn't stop praising me, telling me how much I know about business and he urged me to go into business if I can. I told him that I have a thing for business and I would want to venture into it after I am done with college.

"I had fun today and I want to do this again"

I said with a cheeky smile.

"Sure we will definitely do it some other time, there is no doubt. I enjoyed my day"

He said and stood up, I stood up as well and picked up my purse and we left the VIP lounge.

The scenario that played out when we were coming in played out again, all his workers kept bowing at us as we made our way out of the entrance.

When we got to where he parked his car, he opened the back door for me and closed it after I had settled in and went to the driver's side and settled himself in.

He turned to me,

"I wouldn't say I am not happy having you here. Back in there, I had this fulfilment of having you with me and I can't tell if there is more to it. We keep going and see how far we can go. Thanks for honouring my invitation"

"The pleasure is mine, Lucas. Thanks for making my afternoon"

I replied to him and he squeezed my hand then switched his engine on and we left immediately.

You know, come to think of it, he didn't make advances at me which is rare compared to boys' attitudes towards me. Every guy I come across really wants to have a taste of my lips because they think I have the most succulent lips ever and that has been kind of annoying because I hate it when any part of my body is talked back in that manner.

15 minutes later, I was alighting from his car. Lucas kissed my cheeks and left after he promised to call me.

I sighed and walked in. I had the best afternoon and now I don't know how my evening will be. With my ex and bis brother and my sister, one against three.

The entrance door opened and Owen stood at the door shirtless.

I looked up at him and smiled,

"Hi Owen"

I greeted him and he smirked.

"You look gorgeous in that dress. where are you coming from?"

He said, almost razing me naked with his eyes. I saw the pure lust in his eyes and I briskly walked past him. I heard him chuckling and I rolled my eyes.

Things are becoming awkward. And the worst part is it's kind of like he is the only one at home because Zain has not come back and there is no sign of Susan.

I flapped myself on the bed, I was tired from all the talking and eating.

As I lay on the bed I remembered that I have not spoken to Mrs Celine since I arrived here.

I groaned and opened my purse to fetch my phone. I opened it and saw some missed calls from Tasha and Mom.

I think I put my phone in silent mode unknowingly, too bad mom would have thought something had happened to me for not picking up her calls.

I put a call across and she picked up immediately,

"Jenny, I hope your plan is not to give me high blood pressure. I have been calling you since, where did you keep your phone?"

She said the moment the call went through.

"I'm sorry mum, I didn't know my phone was on silent mode"

I apologized and she sighed,

"It's fine. Tasha called me and told me that you were not picking up so I had to call to know what was going on between you two but it seems you do know she called as well. So call her and find out why she was calling you. She was pretty worried when she called me."

She said and hung up.

I checked my call logs and Tasha has called before mom. Instead of calling her, I called Mrs Celine. Tasha can wait but Mrs Celine can't.

Mrs Celine's voice came through.

"Hi dear, long time"

"Long time indeed, I am sorry I have not been able to call. How are the twins?"

I explained and asked after the twins

"They are fine, they only miss you"

She responded and shifted in the background.

"Michael, stop that! Michelle, don't do it!"

She screamed and I realized that the twins are on it again,

"Sorry, can you give Michelle the phone"

"Alright, hold on... Michelle, come take the phone"

"Hi auntie, Jenny"

She said cutely.

"Hi Michelle, I hope you are not giving mummy enough trouble?"

I asked her, I had to use the word enough because I know they give her trouble.

"Not too much, a little"

She replied in a tiny voice,

"How is Michael?"

"He is fine, should I give him the phone too?"

She asked and did not wait for me to say yes because the next second Micheal's voice came through.

"Auntie Jenny, you haven't called since yesterday. Michelle and I have been missing you and we are not giving mummy too much trouble"

I laughed at his innocence. He knows he's doing something wrong yet he knows he's not doing it too much and at the same time pretending to be innocent. Are they not cute?

"I am sorry darling for not calling. It's will not happen again"

"It's fine I'll give the phone to mummy now"

He said.

"Jenny darling, be good and don't stop calling. we love you, bye"

Mr Celine said and hung up the call. I can understand, she did not have the luxury to keep talking on the phone with me because of the twins. She has got to have eyes on them all time or they will wreck the house.
