“I knew you were coming so, I prepared this for you” he responded
“I knew R.E.X was not going to dress his bed” she received it
“For as long as I can remember, he can’t do anything” she added moving towards his bed
“That's hash!” he complimented in a disappointed manner.
“That’s true though-” she froze at the stain on his bed.
“What’s going on here Son?” she questioned with her eyes registering the spot
When he saw her facial expression, he exited to answer any of her questions. He strolled on the other side of his room and poured fruit juice from his jar and sipped as though she wasn’t addressing to him
“This is amazing news. Where is she?” he gestured his hand to his bathroom.
“I see!” she exclaimed “This is the first lady you brought home. She must have a special place in your heart” she added
Rex couldn’t take the misinterpretations anymore so he spoke “She’s not who you think she is. Just a college friend.”
“So…does this mean you slept with your college friend?”
“No, I didn’t sleep with her. She just got her period” he explained
“Alright…however, I’m so happy. You’ve never brought a girl to this house not talking of your room. Secondly, you haven't slept with her means you like her.” she concluded and he gave her a side look
“Don’t give me that look dear. I know you too well. You would never bring a lady to such intimacy without…you know what I mean”
"What if I didn't sleep with her because of her period?"
"You know I know that's not true"
Rex sigh then sipped all his fruit juice before taking off his shirt “I told you to stop undressing in my presence. You’re grown-up-” she froze seeing the bandage on his back
“What happened to you?” she walked towards him
She is the only one who knows he has a g**g he leads but so far, she has never seen him like this.
“Common boy what did you get yourself into?” she questioned worriedly.
“Nothing to worry about…just some crazy dudes”
“Don’t tell me it’s nothing to worry about! If this goes on you’ll give me no other choice than telling your parents”
“Nanny… please don’t say that” he pleaded
“Let me have a look,” she said trying to visualize the spot then frowned.
“This doesn’t look ordinary. Please tell me what happened” she insisted
“Alright,” he started explaining everything to her and how Amanda found herself here.
She was speechless for some time before letting out “Does she know about your g**g?”
He shook his head disapproving the idea “I can’t and won’t risk it”
“Won’t risk what? She was almost a victim”
“That’s the main reason I can’t tell her. And by the way, right now, she has been marked. Before she was just ordinary but after last night everything has changed. I need to keep her away. I know she was targeted last night because of me and I know who snitched. I’ll deal with her myself”
“If you insist, I can’t do otherwise but I don’t think it’s a good idea”
“It mustn’t be good but worth it” he concluded and she smiled faintly then went back to making his bed.
When she was done, she said “When she’s done, tell her I send greeting and that I want to meet her”
“Sure” he responded and she left
Promptly after, he saw footage on his PC showcasing his dad moving towards his room.
He wore his shirt and walked out before his dad matched in
“Dad…” he said blocking his passage.
His dad narrowed his eyes at him then asked “Where were you last night?”
“At a school party”
“And,”
Rex didn’t understand what his dad meant so he stared at him blankly
“After the party, where did you go to?” he questioned
“Here”
His dad robed his face frustratedly "Do not claw with me son. What happened when you left the party??"
Rex became speechless
“I’m heading to work but before I return, ready appropriate answers to all my questions” after which he strolled away living Rex frozen in his spot.
...
After Amanda got herself clean, she rushed out but couldn’t find Rex in his room. All she saw was his changed bed sheath which was well made. As she moved forward, Rex walked in.
