Returning with the others while I held my limes in one hand. I sat at my respected seat and ushered everyone to eat and enjoy.
Soon Alicia and I started to engage in a conversation, carefully not bringing the child into it. I might say something that will further enlarge the ego of a certain man two seats away from me.
seeing that I'd had my fill already, I took my limes out and started to suck on them again, not even soliciting any evidence of sour face. It just tastes so good.
"Elaine? are you seriously eating that unripe lime?" Jonah asked obviously repulsed by the fruit, he was never a sour person, more like a sweet-toothed guy. He can finish an entire cake in one sitting and I'm not talking about small cakes, I'm talking about 11-person cake sharing, that big.
"yes..? why what's the problem, do I need to hide them away brother?" I asked him politely.
" not necessary, but it's early in the morning and you are filling yourself with acid already.,"
" oh it's fine brother, I already ate breakfast, I bet it won't harm me in any way," I said as I kept sucking and munching the sour treat.
suddenly my mood changed into frost as the man I am currently stamping as a target for kill spoke.
" We must discuss the living arrangements, you will be at my house," he said impassively.
" son I don't think she would appreciate that," Jack said looking at me and his wife.
Alicia then grabbed my hand under the table assuring me that they will support me in my decision. Alicia is a very considerate wife and mother, why wouldn't a mother be like this to me? does she even love me for one second?
" But father she carries my child and as soon as our child is born she will carry the name of Our family"
Alicia then spoke in return, trying to put some sense into her insufferable son.
" Damon, son, You are going too fast at this and besides we have to also consider her decision on this. You can't just tell her what she wants and needs to do, be rational with this" I was glad that she is on my side. But observing her son, I noticed his eyes held that gleam of possessiveness. and then I knew then that I have to make my own move.
since my hands are still clasped with Alicia's under the table. I gave her a tap and started writing invisibly on her hands and she wrote back a yes. She knows what I'm writing and so J told her my plan that she has to act out. She was hesitant but she knew her own son's hardheadedness, she replied confirming that she will be the only one to know it.
"Damon, I don't think my sister will be okay with your plan she is a very independent woman, and for you to suddenly intervene in her natural flow, you might end up regretting in this" Jonah said calmly drinking his coffee.
" Shea, Heron would you mind cleaning up the table after you may leave the dining area, I will need to talk to them and my brother privately" I stood and whispered to the couple that had just finished their breakfast.
They nodded and proceeded to do what I had asked them. I then. sat back to where I was before and situated myself back and took my phone out and texted Grammy, having a hunch that she may be in on this.
The dining area then became burdened with arguments and reasoning, maybe it's time I speak up. I was about to calmly intervene, but when the bastard opened his mouth once more. It all went down the drain.
"She is mine and I will decide what is best for her and our child, even if I have to bring her back with me to my home"
"And who the fuck told you I will be reigned in by you?" I then yielded and knew there is no saving it.
