"Hey man, stop drinking that's your seventh bottle"
"Greg let me be, am sick and tired of it all, I just can't believe I couldn't do it, I had the chance but I just backed out, I couldn't keep my promise to my mum, what's wrong with me Greg"
"George, let's go home "
Greg's eyes were filled with concern this was his big brother whom he looked up to, someone who never showed his weak side, even when they'd lost everything, his big brother protected him and worked his way to the top single-handedly. Seeing his smart and strong brother in this state was disheartening and didn't like the way the others at the club were staring at his brother.
George looked Greg in the eye and gave a weak smile
"Do you think what am doing is wrong?"
"Brother get up let's leave this place, we don't want Nana to be worried about us, I'll answer your question when you're sober"
Greg tried pulling George to get him on his feet but George didn't bulge. He signals their security guards at the other end of the club to come to help him, but on approaching George put his hand up in the air signalling them to stop.
"What happened to Big boss" Dex, one of the guards asked. He had been with Greg when they got a call that the big boss was fuming and had headed to the club.
"He's upset, he was supposed to make them pay but he couldn't" George's guard called Shadow told them.
"let's just pray he gets back to normal, big boss has already gone through a lot"
"Dex do you think he likes her, that girl, they are not blood-related and I could see he felt her pain, that's why he couldn't do it"
"oh, so that's the reason for his anger, well he can't possibly like the daughter of his enemy, all he should feel for her is hate"
"I thought so too, but it's disheartening seeing a big boss like this"
Sigh.
"big bro, please let's go home, I can't bear seeing you like this, I'll call Nana if you don't want to listen to me". Greg brought his phone out of his pocket and was about to dial Nana's number when George snatched it from his hand and stood up.
"No need for that Greg, let's go home" he started moving towards the door like an Asian God, although his steps were wavy, the ladies at the club couldn't stop admiring him, his pale but beautiful skin, blue eyes, nicely built body and expensive looks made him very much desirable. But the ladies know better than to expect him to approach them and approaching was impossible.
After what seemed like forever they got into the car Greg decided to ride with him and let the driver ride his car home, he turned to look at George who was resting his head backwards and had his eyes shut
'sigh'.
The image of his brother ordering more drinks with tears gathered in his already red and swollen eyes was still in his head, he knew how much George had loved mum and he was present when George made those promises to her on her deathbed, he didn't want to see his hero like this he promised himself to help his brother get the job done.
The car came to a halt, they had arrived, home sweet home. he turned to George who was already asleep and motioned for the guards to leave them alone, he decided not to wake his brother, he called Nana and told her that they were at home but George was sleeping in the car and he decided to let him rest.
Nana was happy that they were home, at last, she had been worried knowing the kind of trauma George is in.
