Longing for regret

Episode 5

When Greg got home he noticed his father wasn't in the parlour, he headed towards the main bedroom and found that it was slightly open, he looked through the opening and found Daniel laying on the bed, his father was probably asleep, with just a glance he made the discovery, his father was perhaps resting for his trip the next day, Daniel was usually asleep anytime he was around, Greg knew this, he walked away quietly, not wanting to make a sound or disturb his father, he went straight to his room, he hardly took off the first button when the thought of Cassie clouded his head, he beamed with a smile as he fell on the bed, he began picturing her features in his head, he's mind was way too graphic and he knew it, he immediately opened his eyes, he didn't want to undress her in his head so soon, he stood up and took off his shirt, his hard structured chest came out as though he was an adolescent girl, n*****s pointy, as though he was an aroused female, his abdomen was rock hard, like it was made of six stones, Greg was an athlete since he was little, so staying fit was quite a routine, even when he wasn't so serious about soccer anymore, this were his features, his pubic hair was visible throughout the middle of his abdomen, from his navel up to his chest, he took off his pants, his ripped thighs now showed, his underwear covering his groin area, his looked as though he was model, he was considering his physic but wasn't a professional, Greg went closer to the already open wardrobe in his room, it was close to the window which had a lemon curtain on it, he began scanning for a suitable casual wear to put on, he didn't have anywhere to be on Sundays after church so he planned to be indoors till the next day, except a need arises of course, perhaps if he was sent on an errand, he wouldn't have a choice but to step out, the house wasn't quite large but it was a big compound, Greg's parents prioritized investing over spending so they had just two rooms to them selves out of the nine apartments that were on their property, one of the rooms was for Ava and Daniel, the other for Greg and Fred, although Fred was almost never around, in his words, what's the use of coming home when you aren't with the paper, Fred had refused to come home till he make a fortune, he usually came around for most of Greg's birthday and leaves after several days, this made Greg the owner of the room, it took Greg almost a minute to find something to put on, a red patterned shirt with a touch of white thread sewn at the edge of the collar was he's choice, he already had a blue short hanging close to his face, he picked it up, removed it from the hanger and put it on, the shirt was the last thing he put on while leaving the room. He was headed to the kitchen when he stumbled on Ava, he almost crashed into her, she was just getting home from church, hello Greg! She exclaimed; hello mum, he replied, somewhat coldly without taking a second look at her, what are you up to? she asked; I'm just heading to the kitchen now, I'm not sure what's there, perhaps I would make something if there's nothing made, Greg said; oh that would be nice she said, what do you plan on making? I don't know yet, Greg

replied briskly while walking away. He was usually this way with Ava due to the fact that she always found a reason to raise her voice anytime they were both in a conversation, Greg noticed this and decided to keep conversations he had with her as brief as possible.

Once Greg was in the kitchen he noticed that nothing I'm the kitchen was ready to be eaten, just when he was about bearing in mind what to prepare Ava entered the kitchen, the space in the kitchen was quite limited so Ava had to brush past Greg in order to get to the inner part of the kitchen, it seems there's nothing here to be eaten, you had in mind to prepare something Ava said; yes, Greg replied, I'm thinking of making some fries, there's milk in the fridge, I'm really hungry and I think that would be a quick alternative, ok she said, Ava concurred. Greg began peeling the potatoes, they were to be made for the three of them, when he was done peeling the potatoes he began slicing them into munch-able pieces, once they were seasoned, he kept them aside to turn on the fryer, Greg poured the potatoes into the now boiling oil to fry, he began breaking some eggs into a bowl, he planned on making some egg salad in place of using milk for the chips, he picked out some spring onion from the fridge together with some pepper he chopped them and began whisking the spices with the eggs , the fries had already turn crisp and was ready to be taken down from the heat, before the egg was made to fry, some cabbage was sliced, some peas and lettuce as well, the eggs were put on the gas and was ready in no time, it was tender, the chips were already in a bowl, the eggs were put in another bowl with the greens that were cut, some mayonnaise was added and everything was mixed together, Greg smiled, food was ready.
