I entered the house and found my mom sitting on the couch ,
" Where have you been ? " I was looking everywhere for you .
She said in a worried tone .
" Why did you switch off your phone? " she added.
" It's a long story mom " I said heading to my bedroom since I was so tired .
" Okay but at least call Jenny she spent the whole day here and she looked disappointed when you didn't show up " mom said .
" I lost my phone " I said to her and went upstairs .
" What ! Troy what really happened " she said then followed me .
I entered my room , she came in fast .
" Tell me what happened " she said in a concerned voice .
I couldn't leave her hanging .
" Fine I will tell you " I said sitting on my bed .
I told her everything except that I had gone to meet a girl named Tess , I lied about that and said That the person I had gone to see didn't show up .
" Alright Troy I'ma get you a new phone tomorrow " she said as she exited the room.
" Okay mom " I said to her .
" Hey Mom can I use your phone to call Jenny" I said to her .
" Sure " she said handing me her phone .
I caught the phone and dialed Jenny's number , luckily she had saved it .
" Hello Miss Michaelson " she said after she picked up the call .
" No Jenny it's me Troy " I said to her .
She hang up immediately .
" What she hang me up ? " I said in shock .
" Let me try again maybe she hang up by mistake " I said to myself dialling her number again .
She didn't pick up , I tried it like five times .
" Did you talk to her ? " she said entering my room.
" Nope " I said .
" She's mad at you " she said and I handed her her phone .
" Why is she mad at me ?" I asked looking in confusion .
" You know the answer" she said and she exited my room .
Dang she was right I knew the answer . I decided to go and meet up with Tess although she had told me she wanted to take me somewhere .
"I have to apologise to her " I said going to the bathroom .
After I had taken the shower I came and laid on my bed.
Rays of sunlight entered my eyes , I woke up . I must've been so tired .
I didn't even cover myself I remember coming from the shower and laying on the bed .
I went to the bathroom washed my face and cleaned myself up . Then I put on a blue jean and a black jumper and went downstairs . I saw mom she was dressed up so smartly I wondered where she was going .
" What time is it ? " was the first thing I said when I saw mom .
" Well ... someone is rude this morning " she said folding her arms .
" Oh sorry ..Good morning Mom "I said after realising I had not greeted her .
" Good morning Troy " she said with a smile .
" It's coming to 10:00a.m " she added after checking her phone .
" I will be back around 2:00pm ... your breakfast is in the fridge " she said picking up her hand bag .
" Where to ? " I asked her .
" Well I'm heading to town to meet a friend " she said blushing .
" And is guy do I know him " I asked mockingly but I knew she was going to a date.
" Not really but you will meet him soon " she said .
" Oh and I will be back with your phone " she said then exited the house .
I was left home free to do whatever I want technically until 2:00pm . I went to the fridge got breakfast mom had made me earlier . I sat down and ate although it was a little lonely .
Something came to my mind .
" Let me go and and check out how Jenny is doing " I stood up and went outside the house .I didn't even lock it .
" This won't take long " I said to myself .
I reached the door steps of her house , I sighed then went and rang the door bell.
After a few minutes a woman with black short silky hair almost the same age as my mom , she resembled Jenny a bit so I figured it was her mom . it's funny that I had never met Jenny's mom but she had met mine like a hundred times .
" Hey Miss Anders " I said in a very humble way that I could .
" What do you want ? " she replied to me arrogantly. I was shocked but never put much thought on that .
" Is Jenny around " I said .
She frowned her face by what I had asked .
" I'm tired of you boys playing with my girls feelings treating her like she's a toy " she said in a rough manner .
I was so confused in fact I didn't know what to say " what is she talking about ? " my inner voice said .
" Miss Anders I'm just a friend nothing more " I explained myself in a confident way .
" If you say so " she said in a calm voice " but if you try anything I will find you and ...."
" That's enough mom " Jenny interrupted .
" That's enough mom " she said getting out of the house pushing her mom gently inside .
I still had goosebumps by the what Jenny's mother ." Is the whole family so protective about her " I asked myself .
She closed the door and turned to me .
" Wow your mom is...." I was cut off.
" What do you want Troy ? " she said in an annoyed tone .
I first kept silent for some time as I was surprised by her bad mood .
" Well..." I started " You weren't picking up my calls yesterday so I decided to check on you , you even wanted to take me somewhere " I said to her .
" Is that all " she said her arms in her waist , she kinda looked like a model and a fashion show .
" Well.... yeah " I said confused of what else she wanted me to say .
" Not even a sorry " she snapped at me .
" A sorry for what " the said without thinking.
" Really you don't feel like you owe me an apology " she said in anger .
" Ok I'm sorry " I said to her .
" You really don't get it do you " she said looking in my eyes .
" Get what " I replied .
" You bailed on me " she snapped .
" Oh that we can go there next time but I really gotta tell you something important and somehow funny " I said to her .
She didn't look like she was interested she just opened the door and entered , when I tried to call her she slammed it in my face .
" What was that about ? " I said to myself .
As I was going the door opened
" Hey man hold up " Jerome said as he came to approach me .
" What's up man " I greeted him and we fist bumped .
" Why is your sister so mad at me ? " I asked him scratching my head .
" Man you bailed on her she spent the whole day at your home but you didn't show " he said to me .
" I had a heck of day yesterday " I saw to him .
" Bro you don't have to tell me that you have to tell it to her " he said patting my back .
" I think she wanted to take you somewhere important to her " he said .
" I think " I replied to him.
" if you were her boyfriend and you upset her you would have kicked your ass but luckily your just friends so I'm not supposed to involve in your friendship " he said with a smirk on his face .
" Seriously why are you so over protective about her " I asked him .
He first went silent for some time .
" She's my sister what do you expect " he said "...and plus she isn't so good with relationship" he said and patted my back .
For the time I've known Jerome he was a guy he wasn't a chaty like Jenny but sure was open he would not hide anything if you asked him unlike Jenny who was not so open mostly about her personal life .
I wanted to hear more about that not so good at relationships - thingy he had mentioned.
" What do you mean she's not good at relationships " I asked anxiously .
" I will tell you everything later I've gotta meet up with Amanda " he said and turned to walk away .
" But you see her everyday " I said to him so that he would stay mad tell me more.
" I know but I don't get tired of her " he said with a smile for some reason he seemed excited to meet her I don't know why .
So I let him go to meet his perfect girlfriend.
I went back home I did some choirs at home so that mom would see me as a responsible guy . After that I watched a movie. I completed the movie and heard a car pulling over . I looked through the window it was a fancy BMW I wondered who it was .
To my surprise mom came out she seemed very happy she first spoke with the guy in the front seat of the car .I really wanted to see the guy but I couldn't . I went downstairs after the car had drove off.
Mom seemed very happy .
" Hey Mom " I said to her .
She ignored me and continued smiling , I didn't know what had made her happy so I didn't insist on talking to her .
" Troy have " she handed me a brand new phone still in a box .
" It should be working in 1hour " she said then went to her room still very happy .
I didn't bother asking who the guy was as she would tell me at the right time .
" He's pretty rich " I said to myself the smiled .
