180 Wesve put our lives on hold (1/2)
Dwayne sat at the waiting area in Sky's office, reading some documents when Anton walked in. He had removed his suit jacket and his tie. He was trying to understand the documents he was reading.
”Hey Jayden junior, you look good. I mean the office suits you.” Anton said jokingly as he sat down opposite Dwayne.
Sneering, Dwayne looked up at Anton.
”Ok.....easy tiger. Too early? Alright i'm sorry. But you are his son and you know you have the right to use Ms Sky's desk. You can do anything you want with the company.” Anton said with a serious look on his face.
”It just feels weird to be called that, I haven't even been able to accept it, you know with Ms Sky's accident. Besides, It's not just my company man, it's ours. Mr Jayden made you both my chaperone, and i can't do it without you two. As for Ms Sky's desk, I can't sit dear, it doesn't feel right. I'm ok in my office. If not for you, I'd still be there now.” Dwayne spoke for the first time.
Anton watched Dwayne as he went back to working on the documents. He's been waiting for Dwayne to bombard him with questions about his father but instead he has only asked a few questions like how did they find out, and when did Mr Jayden find out? Dwayne has changed since the accident, he doesn't even have time for Soma anymore, he spend most of his time in the office.
” Hey I'm older than you with a few years and you know Ms Sky's age, so we can't be chaperoning you, more like family. And Dwayne she's not dead, she's alive and in no time, she'll come back to us. She won't be mad at you if yo go out with Soma, she already accepted your relationship long before the accident. You won't even pick Soma calls. We aren't mourning man, Sky is alive. Just look at it like she's on break.”
Dwayne smiled. ”Wow I don't know which is sad, you advicing me or the fact that you are pretending to be ok. Kira told me you don't sleep in the house anymore, that you never come home. She said you've made the bar your home and even when you come home, you barely spend thirty minutes in the house. Why are you afraid of staying in Ms Sky's house?”
Dwayne raised his brow as he asked Anton the question. Seeing that Anton was short of words, he continued. ”Yeah I thought so too. It's not the same without her Anton, I know you feel that way too. I know she's alive but it's been two weeks. She just lays there lifeless, I miss her man. I still see her everywhere in this office, the place still smells like her. I want her to know wherever she is that, our lives are on hold without her so she should hurry back. ”
Anton smiled weakly after Dwayne finished talking. It was as if he could read him. He can't bear to loose Sky. First his mother, then Mr Jayden and now the closest person to him, his little sister. No she is coming back.
”You should leave early today Dwayne, you don't look good. I don't think Sky would be happy to see you like this.I want to go pick Kira up so we can go to the hospital.” Anton said standing up.
