HIS LOVER IN DISCRETION

Chapter 4

I ended up driving round the city before deciding to go to Jason’s house. I feel at home whenever am there. There are no screams except from Kevin’s tantrums which is bearable compared to Mom’s.

She always and constantly wants to have control of everything going on in my life.

“Sorry for crashing in late” I said when Jason opened the door.

“Dad already called, so I was already expecting you” He said with a smile while leading me inside.

“Uncle Jer!!!!” Kevin shouted once he saw me come in alongside his dad.

“Hi there” I said with a smile.

“You are more handsome than in the camera, even more than dad” He said.

“Really?” I said while chuckling.

“I feel offended” Jason said while pouting before making his way over to Mimi.

“You’ve finally decided to grace us with your presence despite the fact that you’ve for about a month now” She said.

“Am sorry” I said knowing giving excuses was a failed plan.

“Forget about her tonight and enjoy yourself”Jason whispered to me when we starting watching a movie.

“Am thinking of getting an apartment” I said.

“Took you long enough. I was expecting you to have done that immediately you arrived” he said.

“I wanted to be a good kid”

“And how is that working for you?” he asked.

“Not so good infact the worst decision ever”I said.

“You should have known that it was the worst decision when you saw that Shua got a house” He said and I nodded knowing how Shua was the favorite one but still ended up moving out was strange. I wonder what happened but he doesn’t want to talk about it and I respect that.

We ended the movie marathon around 9pm for Kevin to go to bed and I received a phone call from Scott saying he needed me at his club.

“Why must you always be drunk?” I asked once I saw his state.

The dude really doesn’t know when to stop drinking.

“She said she can’t date me” He said while crying.

“Am sorry, who?” I asked.

“Della” He said and I stared at him as if he has grown two heads.

“Am sorry but is it the same Della I know?” I asked and he nodded.

“The same Della whose brother is our best friend” I asked again in order to be sure I heard him right.

“Yes, I told her I love her but she said she can’t date me. Why?????” He said.

“Am guessing because Ethan is going to make his mission of murdering you a success” I said and he glared at me.

“But I love her” he said while trying to grab another drink which I prevented him from doing.

“It shouldn’t be that hard to date her. We love each other, that’s all that matters. Ethan can go f**k himself” He said while I was dragging him out of the club but ended up colliding with a guy.

“Am sorry” I said.

“Who is this mother fucker?, am busy telling him about my heart break story” Scott ranted.

“Will you shut the f**k up?” I scolded.

“Am sorry about his behaviour” I said while focusing my attention on the guy.

“Ohhh…..He is a fine piece of specimen” Scott said and at this moment I feel like the ground should open up and swallow me.

“It is okay but are you sure you’re going to be able to make it out okay” The guy said referring to me fidgeting on how to balance Scott properly.

“Why won’t he be able to make it?. He is strong unlike you and fit even though you look like the gym is your second home” Scott said and I shushed him.

I hate this guy.

“Ehmmm…. I will let handle it since he said you’re fit” The guy said in a sort of mocking voice.

Scott is dead by the way tomorrow morning.

I woke up to the ringing tone of my phone.

“What!!!” I said.

“Wow, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed” Scott said.

“And this someone is ready to go to jail for the murder of the someone who wouldn’t allow me to sleep in peace” I threatened.

“I need to ask you something” He said.

“I really am not an expert on the relationship between you and Delle” I said before he could continue and he gasped.

“I told you about her?” He asked.

“Dude, you were full blown crying like a kid who has been deprived from eating sweets and candy” I said.

“f**k me” he said.

“That’s Delle’s job” I said while mocking him.

“Will you stop with the teasing?. I think am forgetting something other than that” He said.

“Ohhh… you mean about the way you made me bump into a guy and started abusing and cursing him. By the way, you’re dead the next time we meet” I said and he coughed.

“Was he angry?” He asked.

“Nah, I don’t think so. Wait…..don’t tell me that’s why you called me” I asked.

“Yeah…..Have you check the news?” He asked and I replied with a no.

“You might want to check it cause your mom is at it again” He said and I groaned.

This can’t be good.

I got downstairs and turn on the television

“The CEO of SFT Justina Myers and CEO of AFC Melinda Smith confirmed the marriage of their kids, Marissa Myers and Jeremy Smith through an interview. The parents of the soon to be couple revealed that the marriage between the two is scheduled to take place by July, in two months. Congratulations have been pouring and fans of both parties are wishing them a fruitful marriage” The presenter said and I immediately threw the remote control away in anger.

What does she think she is doing?

That by telling the whole world this, I will succumb to her threats?.

She got it all wrong.
