Even if: This is love

Chapter three.

Alora! Mrs Fletcher called. Yes! aunt, replied Alora as she walked towards where her aunt was. Am here. She said.

Alora, why did you react like that to Henry? It was impolite and wrong of you. Her aunt cautioned.

Seriously? Am I hearing that from you? Come on aunt, that guy is rude and I am no fan of rude and that is not all he is full of himself. The only thing he thinks and cares about are those that are of himself, just like him wanting a medal for saving me from falling, and yet he was the cause of my falling and he is such a blabber mouth. Alora said angrily☹.

OK fine, I agree with you, but you are already judging with no closer look and that is wrong which you yourself know.

Aunt! Was this the reason you called for me? Alora asked, feeling annoyed talking about it.

Oh, I see, topic change, right? Mrs. Fletcher said to Alora, who didn't want to in any way talk about any of all that. Alright, I actually called you for a different reason. Mrs Dorcas said we would be going for a vacation meeting. It is an important meeting, so she said she would send some vital files and documents for you to work on the presentation and that the atmosphere of the place we are heading to would be very good and convenient for the meeting to hold. And it would help you to also work on the presentation as the atmosphere relates to the presentation.

Ok no problem. Where is the place we are going for the meeting?

Napa Valley in California. Mrs Fletcher replied.

OK, sounds like a nice place. Aunt! Alora said, calling her aunt's attention. When will she be sending me the files and documents? so I can begin any important work there as soon as possible.

I would inquire about it, or you can call her yourself so you can get a straight and direct reply.

OK aunt, I will do so.

* ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^*

Mom! Your phone is ringing, Henry said out loud as he picked up the phone and received the call.

Good day Ma, sorry for bothering you. I wanted to inquire about the business trip, the files and documents for it. Alora said in a sweet soft voice, to Mrs. Dorcas.

Yes my dear, it is true. You can come over to take the files and documents.

OK ma, but sorry to ask, why is your voice sounding different? Hope you are good Alora questioned.

Yes dear, it is just a bit of a cold. The voice said and coughed in a gentle way to clear the throat.

Alright, take care of yourself. I will be there shortly. Alora replied, and hung up the call.

^***** ******** *********^

Hello angel,??? Alora said happily to Lizzy, Mrs. Dorcas's daughter.

Hey! It's you, boss Ally. Lizzy said and gave Alora a big hug.

How are you doing? Alora inquired.

I'm super good. Lizzy replied in a jolly way. But why are you here? Mummy is not home.

Really, she isn't? But she asked me to come over and pick up some files and documents. Did she say when she would be back? Alora asked Lizzy, who shook her head negatively, replying"I'm not sure but it looked like she won't be back soon." Gosh! What to do? Alora asked herself in her mind.

Hmm... OK, Lizzy, I will go to her office and check to see if I can trace or find the file she was talking about.

The boss has arrived. Henry said, smiling, trying to irritate Alora. Oh well, Alora has no time for him so she walked away from him, then he followed her. Come boss Ally, the one whom Henz boy should learn from.

Who is Henz boy? she questioned, looking at him as if she understood what he meant but wanted to be sure.

Oh come on, baby! I am the one who were you thinking it would be? your lover? Henry replied in a joking way and winked at her?.

Disgusting! she said irritatedly to Henry. And yes, never ever call me baby, she said in a furious manner, pointing her finger of warning at him and made a move to walk out of the room.

Wait! Won't you come to get what you came here for? Henry asked stopping her. She rolled up her eyes and said "it's none of your business."

Woah! Attitude. Anyway, I know why you are here. He said to her. Nice! She replied not caring.

Where are you in a rush to? I am not done talking yet. Henry said and sat down with his legs crossed like a boss.

Look, I hate nonsense, like I hate talking to you. She said to him furiously.

UHHH! I'm so sorry miss no nonsense taker. But I am sure you will hate what I am about to say more than you hate this. He said with a big smile? on his face.

If I will hate it, what makes you think I would listen to it?

Hmm.... like I said "attitude." You have a very enormous attitude, but it is funny that it is just to me. Or maybe.....

You shout up, cuz I've got no time for nonsense. She interrupted.

But I do. I mean I created a time for you to have time for nonsense ?☺. He said happily. Meanwhile, Alora gave him a stern look, then, turned away to leave as she was reacting according to the proverb that says "silence is the best answer to a fool."

I was the one who picked up the phone call earlier today, not my mom. Henry said in a serious tune in order to stop her from leaving, maybe he was probably enjoying the moment with her. On hearing this, Alora paused and turned to him.

Yeah I did, then I decided to use the opportunity to invite you here. Well, I know it is not a good payback, but oh well, a prank is a prank, he said as he gave a serious "are you surprised look" to Alora.

Excuse me, payback? Prank? For what? Alora asked, as she was puzzled.

Yeah Payback and prank. He said and stood up and went closer to Alora. Remember yesterday, you made me look foolish in front of my own mom and made yourself look great and, yes, you didn't say thank you to me for saving you.

Out of anger, Alora slapped him after listening to what he said.

Seriously, I made you look foolish. Come on, foolishness is in your blood and you can't deny that. You made yourself appear foolish, not me and me thanking you, that won't be in this world. No it won't. She said angrily and turned to leave. Then Henry held her hands to stop her. And moved closer to her. What are you doing? she asked calmly. I am trying to kiss you to thank you for the slap. Stay away from me, she said. Oh be quiet, I'm just trying to tell you that I didn't ask you to come and leave at your own will. Remember I said I created time for nonsense for you. He said and smiled. Gosh, it is so funny that my mom thinks you are smart but yet you fell for that easy prank. Get out! she said angrily, pushing him.

You are getting on my nerves and trust me when I say you won't like the outcome of that, she said angrily and left.

Oh well, it's her choice to be happy. He said, feeling relaxed and drinking like nothing had happened.
