Melissas dilemma

Chapter 5

Angels pov.

Flashback 8 years ago

Meli, Meli, Meli, why not we do it this way. Am your elder brother and no boy is good enough to date my baby sister, you are way too young to have a boyfriend and i can’t see any boy here in school who can take care of you. And since i am a boy and I obviously know what boys can do. Lets pinky swear that you wont date any boy until i give you my consent. Even though mama and papa likes the boy, if i dont approve of that relationship then it wont work, cos I definitely will have to kill any boy who takes you for granted or breaks your heart. Even if you want to get married, if i dont like him. Its a no. Terms and conditions of this pinky swear stands till you marry

Meli

Really, then what about you,do you have to accept the terms and conditions also. Does my opinions also count in who you wanna be with. She asked me with those cute eyes of hers. Its going to only be fair if i accept to be a part in it. After-all i will soon be going to college and she wont know who am going to be dating, i guess it wont hurt too and even duo what am doing is for my sister’s safety, i have to guide her and be a part of her growing up till she sees a man who is good enough for her.

‘All right then. All terms and conditions apply to the both of us. I said bringing out my pinky finger and she did so and the promise was made. Never ever to be broken but followed to the later.

End of flash back.

Meli.

I assume you understand what i mean. Your girlfriend has until our parents return to make me see her good for you. And you wouldn’t dare tell her about it. Cos if i notice some funny games between you too. You know what that means.

Me.

But Meli, that was eight years ago, and if you really remember i was only trying to protect you to the later, i couldn’t bare seeing all those boys take you fir granted. Plus we are now adults and we individually know what is best for us. I don’t think such promises apply to our daily lives Meli. (I only hope she buys my idea.)

Meli.

I don’t think you understand what i mean or the conditions of that promise we made to each other, how would you forget when you are the one who masterminded the idea. I was on my own nursing my heartbreak and then you came not just to comfort me but to make a deal with me, one you made sure I followed till i can remember and i know you know you made me not to date whomever i wanted to date cos of that promise. Am sorry brother, you can’t eat your cake and have it. I am going to have my pound of flesh, and i am even giving you an opportunity for her to please me, whereas you never gave me such privilege. So dear brother, your girlfriend has already scored zero out of her ten points and she has nine golden opportunities to make me see her good enough for you, if she screws it up, i will have to find someone good enough for you then. Was it not what you did to me uhhhhh. Am off to bed. Say me hi to your soon to be wife or ex.

With that said, she left me to my thoughts. How am i going to make her see the reason such childish promises does not play in the adult life anymore. Did i make a make a mistake in signing such deal with her, i know Meli, there is nothing Floxy will do that will be good to her, and i cant even tell Floxy, how is she even going to pass a test she has no idea she’s writing. I don’t know what to do, i was confused and i really like Floxy, our parents are going to be back in less than a week from now, is that enough time to make Meli like her? I don’t even know. I had to drawn myself with alcohol as i have nothing else to take me out of my misery.

Floxy pov.

Its past 10pm and Angel is not yet back to his room which we are currently sharing, i knew i heard Melissa’s room door open and close meaning she has gone to her room and what ever she wanted to discuss with her brother is probably over. But why isn’t he in his room yet, i am getting a bit worried, i tried to call his phone but the i***t left his phone with me. Uhhhhgg boys are they always dumb. I think i need to get to Meli to get her brother out of their papas room, i thought of going there to knock on that damn door but its soundproofed against outside noise and i don’t even have the code of that door. So seeing the only option here is to go and meet Meli, i wonder if shes going to help me been the fact that our first encounter wasn’t nice but to my defense how was i too know that shes his sister and seeing her wearing the clothes i got for Angel is enough to make me go crazy, but then i knew i f****d up, i should have asked politely maybe she would have answered my questions, telling me the damn truth of her been his sister. But no, i had to spoil my chance of his sister accepting me before we even knew ourselves, i hope i don’t make this same mistakes with his parents. Oh my God am such a disaster, my mum told me my anger if not tamed will be the end of me, and i am beginning to see my future. Am so doomed. I had to force myself to stop wallowing in self pity and lazily dragged myself to Melis room.

Knock knock. She opened the door and I noticed her smile wasn’t genuine but i had to ignore it.

Meli

Yes dear. Do you need anything.

Me

Am sorry, i know am disturbing but i cant find Angel anywhere, since you are back to your room he should be back to his but he isn’t there, and i cant call him cos he left his phone with me. And i don’t know the code to the door, i was hoping if you can get to him or probably give me the code so i can go fetch him myself. I said pleading to her to help me.

Meli.

Well if Angel isn’t back to his room i guess he will be busy with something inside there, and he knows his room so when he’s done he will come to you. So you have nothing to worry about okay.

She was about closing her door but i had to try more.

Me.

Okay, thats fine. But Meli, since he’s busy and am obviously bored i think we should have some girls time. Like get to erase our first impression which isn’t nice and get to make good ones. If you don’t mind. (Oh my God i hope she accepts.) i notice her looking at me like she’s contemplating about it and then she sighed.

Meli.

Am sorry Floxy but i had a very tiring long flight coming back home from London and i hope i can get some sleep and i am a bit tipsy so i wont be much fun to you right now, why not some other time, If you don’t mind?

Yeah i know shes meant to rest after such long flights and here am i again trying to ruin my second impression. Floxy well done.

Me.

Okay then. Am sorry i forgot you should be tired and deserve some quality sleep. We still have more time to bond and rebound so i should let you be while i wait for Angel to return. She smiled to me and banged her door on my face without even saying Good night to me or responding to mine, oh God am i that unbearable, i cursed myself and angrily went to Angels room to continue brooding, my life is ruined, totally ruined. I kept cursing myself out loud that i didn’t know when Some strong hands wrapped me in an embrace, oh my Angel is back to me. Finally.
