24 Profession of love (1/2)

A black Corvette parked at the front of my house. A man wearing a striped black and white longs sleeved shirt and faded jeans came out. It was Shawn.

He rang the door bell. Not long the door was opened by a house maid.

”I'm Shawn, Queenie's boyfriend.” Shawn said. ”She's expecting me.”

The maid nodded and let Shawn into the living room. ”Sir wait here. Ms. Queenie will be with you shortly.” the maid said and left.

Shawn was nervous. He knows that I was deeply hurt the night of Julia's party. He was here now to ask for forgiveness and explain that there is really no engagement between him and Julia. He just hope that I will not leave him because of this.

Shortly after a man wearing a white shirt and light brown khaki pants entered the living room.

”Oh look who's here.” Troy said sarcastically.

Shawn clenched his fist. He can't stop the irritation he feels seeing Troy.

”Why are you here?” Shawn asked. Irritation is evident in his voice.

Troy smiled. ”I live here.”

Shawn was shocked. He can't believe that this man lives in my house. In the intelligence Jake gathered, Troy lives separately from me 'So why is he living here now?' Shawn thought.

”Why are you living here?” Shawn said.

”I'm her brother. Why can't I live here with her?” Troy said with a grin on his face.

”'Adoptive' brother, I remember you saying.” Shawn said.

”Yes, well still we are brother-sister by name.” Troy said trying to provoke Shawn.

Shawn clenched his fist hard. He wants to punch this man in front of him again. The atmosphere between this two became heavy. Tension between them is rising. They were staring at each other coldly.

The I arrived. I saw the scene in front of me and sighed. ”If you two want to continue your pissing contest then feel free to leave my house and do it outside.” I said. ”I don't want anything here broken because of your fight.”

The two men both calmed down.

Shawn looked at me. I was wearing a dark green off shoulder long sleeved blouse and tight jeans. He looks at me mesmerized. ”Are you ready?” he asked.

”Yes, I am.” I said to Shawn. ”Troy I'll be going out for the day. Can you please be in charge here while I'm gone.” I said to Troy.

Shawn gave a smirk at him. Troy was evidently pissed.

”Sure Queenie. Don't be out to late.” Troy said while kissing me in my cheek. It's Troy's time to smirk at Shawn. Shawn clenched his fists again.

I saw the interaction between the two and sighed. 'Men and their pissing contest.' I thought and sighed again.

I walked out with Shawn. I felt Shawn hand had held me by my waist. He knew Troy was looking at our back. Shawn gave a dirty finger secretly behind his back and not me knowing. Only Troy saw this and was totally pissed.

The drive was long and silent. I know Shawn didn't want to make the wrong move so he respected my personal space.

After a while we entered a gate. Inside was a beautiful flower garden.
