162 The Final Task II (1/2)
”I need to go see Ms Sky now.”Aidenn said
”I'm sorry Aidenn. There's something I want to tell you and I hope you can forgive me.” Jenna said, looking at the floor. The truth was out anyway. Sooner or later, he'll find out about her true relationship to Sky. Before Aidenn could reply her. Their phone beeped. It was Sky, She wanted them both to come to her house immediately.
”Is it from Ms Sky?” Aidenn asked, as he folded the letter back into the envelope.
”Yeah it is. About what I wanted to say.”
Aidenn didn't allow her finish her statement as he stood up to leave. ”Addy we can talk about that when we get back. I don't want to keep your sister waiting.”
”Alright. I'll be ready in five minutes. I'll meet you outside your door.” Jenna said as she hurried to her room to get changed.
Neto stood at the balcony of his apartment with a bottle of red wine in his hands.
”If you don't stop drinking. I'll call mom, and she'll move her things and come live with you forever.” Neto's little sister threatened him as she walked to where he was standing.
”Hold on. I don't understand you and Mom. Why are you two always in a hurry to move into my place? I know for sure that your father's house is big enough, and don't you miss your father? Or in mom's case, why does she always leave her husband alone.” Neto shook his hand as she stood close to him. He poured some wine into his mouth.
”Should I get you a glass or something? She asked, worried.
”You know what? There's something I need you to get for me. Please get me a cigarette, I really need to smoke.”
Her mouth fell open as she looked at him. ”Big brother you don't smoke. I think I need to call mom now or better still, you remember the lady i told you about? Fair in complexion, tall, full lips and all. Do you want me to invite her over?”
”No. I don't want anyone here. I just want to be alone. I think you should call old Greyson and tell him how miserable I am because he has refused to accept my transfer.”
”Ok but I really don't like talking to your dad. He has this sexy voice and he's so imposing. But I'll call him so don't worry.”
”Hi Mr Greyson.
No, everything is alright.
No, I don't need a favour. I'm calling because of my big brother. He's been drinking and smoking. I'm worried.
No, no women, he's by himself. Ok sir. bye.” She ended the call and smiled at Neto.
”Good girl. Maybe he'll sign those papers now.Since you were all nice all over the phone. I'll give you my box but promise you won't use it to run away with a man?” Neto asked as he gave his sister a serious look.
”Hehehehe ...Big brother. I won't, but I need to get married so I have to go out there and mingle.”
”Yeah that's a silly excuse. Don't give Mom a heart attack. I worry her too much as it is.”
Twenty minutes later, while they both lay lazily on the bed, they heard the doorbell. ”Hey little sister, did you call that lady over? Ashanti or what's her name again. If you did, then you will be with her cause I'm high and I don't like her, she's fake.” Netoknew he wasn't drunk but tipsy, he could hear himself talking slowly and smiling. He was a bad drunk.
”I didn't invite Ashanti. Maybe it's one of your lady friends.” She stood up to go get the door. She whistled her favourite tone as she walked to the door. She froze as she opened the door.
Mr Greyson noticed the way the little girl stood frozen without saying anything. She reminded him alot of her mother. She was the young version of Angela, he remembered when he use to woo Angela and she'd be totally smitten. He cleared his throat to get the little girls attention.
”Urmmm, helloMr Grey. I didn't know you were coming over. Please come in.” She said shyly as she held the door wide open for him.
She quickly ran to Neto's room to inform him of his father's arrival as the man sat comfortably on the parlour sofa.
