Nervous
Nathan sat there for some minutes without saying anything. Then he jumped up in joy. ” Are you serious mum? He is really coming back?” Nathan asked to be sure. James is his cousin brother, they were both brought up together by Nathan’s Dad since he lost his parents at a tender age. But he has been in Cape Town for some years, he just left one day and never come back with the excuse that he wanted to explore other places aside New York. Both Nathan and James have been very close since childhood. When they were teen, people thought they were twins because of the way they were. ” He is son, he called me after a very long time. He said he misses you ” Mrs Rogers said sympathetically. James must have been going through a lot of trauma without his parents. Nathan frowned! James could have just called him. ” I have been trying his number since he left to no avail mum, he could have called me ” Nathan said. ” It is still the same thing Nathan, you tell him that when you meet him at the airport. I need to go, I love you son. Bye” She said and hung up.
Nathan sighed. After some years, he is going to meet his brother again. Nathan can’t wait to tell James that he is married and to the most beautiful and wonderful lady in the whole world. The feeling of meeting his brother is getting him more excited. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ” You are here ” Sadie said to Alex as she saw him in the garden . ” Yeah, I feel like I shouldn’t leave. This place is so cool, it has everything anyone needs to relax. I haven’t seen a beautiful place like this in forever. Nathan has a good taste ” Alex said. Sadie chuckled, isn’t her brother just exaggerating? ” I hope you two are now settled?” Alex asked and Sadie blushed. ” Apparently, yes ” she replied sitting down beside Alex on the long cushion placed in the garden. ” I am glad you are happy Sadie, I can now work in peace if I go back ” he said sincerely. Sadie smiled. ” You are still going back? ” She asked. ” Of course, I am just on a month leave” he replied. ” But I will and work my transfer back to New York, your big brother needs to settle down ” he added. ” Well, does big brother have a fiance’ already that his favourite sister doesn’t know about?” Sadie asked. Alex scratched his head at the question Sadie asked. ” Not really but I have someone in mind ” he replied with his ear turning red. Sadie’s face lit up. ” Really? I hope it’s not that your girlfriend then? I don’t like her ” she said with her arms crossed while Alex laughed at her cuteness. Sadie acts twenty sometimes instead of twenty three. He could remember when he was dating Sauna, Sadie always taunt her for no reason whenever she comes around. Says she is rude and not good for him. ” We broke up long ago, besides. She is married now ” he said. ” Good for her, at least. She did not end up with my brother with that her sulking attitude . So who is the lucky lady?” Sadie asked. ” Uhhm, she is Lani. I don’t even know sis, is she already in a relationship?” Sadie’s face turned to Alex immediately and she screamed . ” Like which of the Leilani? My best friend? ” Sadie asked in anticipation and hoping that it will be. ” Yeah, I have been having my eyes on her but I think I’d rather tell her now before it’s too late ” he replied truthfully. Sadie screamed the more, Alex have to cover her mouth from screaming. Why in God’s name is she screaming this loudly? ” Oh my God! I can’t keep calm, I can’t! Did you know how much she loves you? She had always had a crush on you since we were teens, even when she knows you have a girlfriend ” Sadie blurted before she could stop herself. ” Really? Why didn’t I notice? ” ” You were blinded by your dear Sauna then ” Sadie said rolling her eyes. ” How about now? Is she still into me? Is she single?” Alex asked anxiously. ” She will still have a crush on you even if she gets married today and yes, she is very single in capital letter ” Sadie said. Alex couldn’t help but laugh! Single in capital letter. How funny! But hearing that gladden his heart. ” Then, I should make a move ” he replied. ” Please do, she deserves to be happy and I wouldn’t see any one that will give her that happiness than you. At least, for being there for your baby sister. She did a lot for me in your absence Alex ” Alex thought about it and nodded, he knows Lani loves Sadie so much. She can even sacrifice her life for his sister’s. Lani has a heart of an angel! ….. That made him love her the more. ” So I am good to go right? ” He asked. ” Of course, you have my blessings son, my blessings are all yours ” Sadie dramatized patting Alex shoulder while he glared at her. ” Who is your son? ” He snorted. ” Anyways, mum wants to see you ” Sadie’s smile faltered immediately. She stopped whatever she was doing and scoffed. ” See me? Why? Do I have a mother? ” She asked with a sad smile. ” You do sis, mum wasn’t just a good mother to you she….” Alex trailed off not knowing what else to say. ” I am very certain she wants to see me because of Dad ” Sadie guessed and Alex nodded in agreement feeling a little embarrassed. Sometimes, he wondered how both him and Sadie ended up in that family. ” She wants you to help pay dad’s loan and bail him out ” Alex said. Sadie let out a humourous laugh! The laugh contained pain and hatred. She knows her mum will never care about her. At first, she thought maybe her mum has changed and decided to see her but who is she to think so when that woman loathe her so much? ” I don’t want to see her, even if I have the money to pay. I am never going to use my money on any of them. They all stopped being my family the day I was stabbed by Carly and they all did nothing ” ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Mena stared lovingly at Leon as he makes breakfast for them. Her mum and Dad thought she went to school but she came to Leon’s house. If they know she is here, she’d be dead! Her brother Nathan will be the first to kill her. She has been dating Leon for a long time now and have been secretly meeting with him too. Even when Nathan and Leon’s friendship turned sour, she couldn’t stop loving Leon. Mena have a strong believe that Leon is innocent of Nathan’s accusation of poisoning him. She knows him very well, Leon will never do that!
Despite all that, their love keep waxing stronger. ” You can take a picture, it will last longer ” Leon’s husky voice said. He left what he was doing wrapping his arms around her before kissing her bare neck… ” How is cupcake doing?” He whispered into her ears. ” I am fine, I have just been a little sick lately. I will go for check up if I get home ” Mena replied. Leon panicked! Sick? ” What’s wrong? Where is paining you? No, you feel any pain? Are you sure I don’t take you to the hospital now? ” Leon asked panicking for no reason which made Mena chuckled. ” Stop being paranoid, I am fine. It’s just a slight fever and mood swings, nothing more ” she said. ” Fine but if it persist before you leave, I will be left with no option than to take you to the hospital ” he said seriously. He can’t take risk of having anything doing Mena under his nose! ” Yes boss ” Mena replied playfully feeling slight migraine but she kept it neutral. ” Good, just sit here, I want to serve you my Queen ” he said seductively. Mena chuckled at him! ” Aren’t you thinking of what my brother will do if he finds out I am dating his sworn enemy?” She asked out of a blue moon. Leon tensed up and laughed nervously.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
