A buzz was heard and her phone started ringing. It was Bruce who was calling the gangster from the Dbase. Before answering Mapendo gasped.
"Hey morning my pretty lass", Bruce started it again his naughty behavior.
" Mmm.... morning whats up", Mapendo asked him.
"Well...can you send me his address again. I didn't save it. I have already gathered my men here. We are just waiting for the address ", Bruce spoke with his deep voice.
"Alright sending it in a few ", She hanged up glancing at Max who keenly stared at her.
" Who the hell was that and it sounds like a bad boy. What affair do you have with him ", Max asked curiously wanting to know what affair she had with the anonymous caller.
" He is a certain man. I met a few days ago you will just know about him someday. There is something that he is doing for me will tell you all about it", Mapendo gave him that fake smile knowing, she wasn't planning anything good.
"I'm so sorry for judging you back then without hearing your side of the story. Please accept my apologies again ", Max touched her thigh grinning at her.
" I think, he thinks was avoiding him cause of the incident that happened but it's not so. How do I tell him about this", In her mind, she was conflicted if she should tell him her plans or not?
"No, I already forgave you a long time ago. Remember that you're my bestie. Don't worry can't be mad at you forever", She assured him that all was well.
"I thought distancing myself from people cause of what just happened to me would make me feel better. I just needed time to heal. Let's go and take breakfast. It's early to start being emotional ", Mapendo told Max standing up.
"Wow... your sexy in that nightdress", he said staring at her.
" You think... Stop giving me that look. It freaks me out", Mapendo laughed as she stood to wear trouser. He just stood there and watched her.
"Ooooh....your now wearing like a grandma cause that trouser is so awful. I'm your bestie and saying the truth stop frowning. I'm really hungry btwn", he informed her tapping his tummy.
"Aaaagghh.... am not your girlfriend to be sexy for you", Mapendo stuck her tongue out making funny faces at him.
"Ouch.... that hurts buh am your bestie", He smirked at her.
"Mmmh... fine let's go make something", they headed to the kitchen.
"Wow...!!! I always love your cooking", Max said eating like a piglet.
"I know that's your weakness my cooking... It's just so super yummy, you can't resist it ", Mapendo flossed chuckling at Max.
"We know you", he giggled.
"Can we watch a movie tonight", Mapendo requested him.
"Yeah, we can do it in your room", he glanced at Ashlee who was approaching them.
"Huh....!!! have you two.. become love birds...", Ashlee raised a brow at them teasing me.
"Nope, he's just my bestie cut the chase. You're so evil-minded", Mapendo clicked at her.
" Alright as you say so buh I know you guys feel each other", Ashlee pointed out glancing at Max then Mapendo with the look 'am watching you'.
"Just go your annoying me now", Mapendo requested Ashlee.
"The truth hurts my dear sister", Ashlee giggled exiting the kitchen.
"The hell.... how can she think we are dating", Max raised a brow at her as he approached the door.
" She's just a drama queen don't pay attention to her buh that's what our mum think. That one day we will marry", Mapendo reminded him.
"That's crazy I see you like my sister....", Max light chuckled trying to imagine marrying Mapendo one day.
"Buh marrying you can be good. Cause I know you and you're my soul mate....", He informed her.
"Soul mate how... We ain't a couple to be soul mates", Mapendo furrowed her brows.
"We don't have to be a couple to be soulmates. You can be soulmates with your girlfriend too. It's how your soul connects with another", Max explained it to her.
"Uuuh.... huuh...!! I don't believe in such things", Mapendo brushed his idea.
"Hey you...you have come on time", Mapendo was excited as Max entered her room at the early hours of dusk.
" Which movie do you wanna watch", Mapendo says taping her bed for him to sit.
He was just staring at her picture in a frame that was weird.
"Sorry any movie can do.....", he said letting go of her photo.
" Why are you staring at my picture that's awkward", Mapendo laughed rubbing his back.
"Nothing..", he murmured in a low tone as he sat on the bed next to her.
"I can't understand what's up with him but I must know what's bothering him. What is he thinking of", In her mind, Mapendo avowed to know why he did that.
"Alright, I have picked two romantic movies, hope you love it, She was trying to decide which movie to watch between the two.
"Wow !!!! they are about to kiss ", Max pointed out covering his eyes.
"Stop behaving so innocent and we know you", Mapendo laughed removing his hands.
"I feel better now and I'm in the lovey-dovey mood ", he said looking at her.
He laughed hard after noticing Mapendo's reaction. He threw a pillow at her to destruct her. They played as she started chasing him around.
They still love playing their childhood game of throwing pillows at each other. She mostly likes how he is playful around her. Her phone rang and it was Bruce calling.
"Hey... we have already taught him a lesson earlier, pretty lass", he spoke.
" Thanks, I appreciate it hope you did as I told you", She inquired hoping he didn't mess around.
" Yeah, I did as you instructed. A good job", Mapendo hanged up.
"Let's see who is the clever one. Let me just congratulate myself for the work well done. I know this might get me into trouble but for now, I don't care about that", In her mind she was happy.
"Have you thought about what you just did? It might get you in big trouble, you messed big time", Max raised a brow.
"How did you know the rada", She raised a brow at him.
"Just figured it out. I'm not that dumb the way you were talking, I know you are planning something from the start ", he replied.
" I'm ready for anything as long as he has learned his lesson. I know if reported the issue to the police, he would go scot-free that's why did what I did", She justified herself.
" I got you, I hope they didn't kill him. I will support you all the way", He assured her.
"So this calls for a celebration. Let's go grab something ", Mapendo cheered up.
"You're so evil ", he mumbled. " I have no choice can't deny your offer", he replied as we left the room.
"Pain changes people....", Mapendo grinned evilly.
"Bye-bye, little sis. When mum comes tell her, I'm just around with Max ", Mapendo informed Ashlee, who seemed not listening to whatever she was telling her. She's just snobbish at times.
" Alright, I'm also going out to meet my bestie. Am not a plant to be stuck in this house which sucks", she yelled.
"What's all the drama for", Mapendo questioned her.
"Alright, nevermind just go for your date ", she closed the door as they left.
"Date... huuuh", Max pointed out repeating Ashlee's words.
"It's not a rendezvous. Let's call it a eat out", Mapendo didn't want to accept that it was like a date.
