Episode 6

Greg reached out to a rack near by, he took out six bowl plates, Greg shared the chips into three plates and then shared the salad into the three other plates, he took out a tray and places two plates of chips and salad each on the tray, he lifted up the tray and headed straight for the master bedroom, Ava loved it when Greg made lunch, apart from him being a really good cook, he was also her son, which parent wouldn't want their child to make them a meal? Well done! Ava exclaimed at the sight of the tray, Greg had opened the door with his elbow and was already two meters into the room, with gradual steps he reaches the side of the bed where Ava was seated, there was a drawer at the head of the bed, it acted as a table, he placed the tray containing the chips and salad on the table, thank you Ava said, Greg turned to leave, I hope you've had yours Ava asked, yes he answered; thank you he added before stepping out, Daniel was still laying down on the bed, he was awake

with his eyes open but choose to watch silently, he watches from the bed as though he was a log, he was still displeased with Greg, Greg hadn't come home with his result since he started college, this had sincerely caused his father's displeasure and Greg knew it, he gently closed the door behind him, he headed to the kitchen to grab the last two plates, he picked up the chips with his left hand and held the salad with his right hand, he carried both plates and went straight for his room, he got to his room door , it was closed, he used his elbow to bend the door knob, he repeated the trick he used earlier, Greg shoved the door with his shoulder and stepped into the room then used his heel to shut the door, he headed for his bed and placed the items in the bed gently, Greg sat beside the meal wanting to start the meal, then he remembered that he hadn't brought a cutlery, oh no he said silently, I forgot to grab a spoon, I guess that won't be necessary today he added; he felt too lazy to go back for a spoon, the aroma of the dish made him almost impatient, but he wasn't, he picked up a piece of the chips and swiped it through the salad, he brought out the chips with whatever could come on top, he shoved it into his mouth, it tasted good, he hadn't made this particular dish in a while, he quickly grabbed a few more without adding the word patience this time, he quickly took a few more swipes, Greg never slipped up when it came to something delicious, I think I'll make this more often he said to himself; just when he was about rounding up eating he received a call from Justin, he let the phone ring severally before finally picking almost at the end of his tine, hello Justin, what's good? Greg asked , he really didn't like being disturbed although he didn't sound rude, Justin was his friend, I'm alright, I just wanted to know if you'd be coming around today, Justin replied, ok, sure I will, Greg replied, alright then I'll be expecting you, Justin said and ended the call , Greg was glad, he finally had the time to finish the deed of eating the plate clean, Justin lived on the same street with Greg, they both shared blunts, this was what made them close, Greg took away the now empty plates to the kitchen, he then went to retrieve the plates his parents were served with, they were also done with their meal and the plates were left on the table, he picked them up and took them to the kitchen to be be cleared, Greg put the plates in the sink and began doing the dishes, he tried being as fast as possible he knew why Justin called, it was about to be a blunt session, Greg was done with the dishes in no time and was already thinking of a way to leave the house, he knew going out without a reason could bring unwanted questions and probably some heat when his parents were around, he had to be extra careful, that wouldn't matter anyways, he knew his absence would be noticed eventually, it was only a matter of time, he had to be quick, he headed to his room, he was welcome by the sound of his phone ringing, he increased his pace, it must probably be Justin calling he thought, he entered the room hoping to meet his phone still ringing, the call already ended, Greg picked up his phone to check, it was Justin, he quickly picked up a portable speaker and left the room.
