Chapter 19 - Are you mad at me

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 .
