"Wow, this taste so good"
"I have never tasted any pie as good as this"
"Nana this is superb"
The ladies kept on showering praises on Nana's cooking
"We all made it together, let's have a feast then"
Nana said motioning for them to eat properly.
*bzzz bzzz bzzz bzzz
"Excuse me, everyone," she said leaving the table "Hello, Lyn how are you"
"Am fine lis"
"Are you okay "
"I am but I need a sister, I have a lot on my mind, and I want to let it all out"
"I understand you sweetheart where are you? Are you home?"
"Am not at home, am at the bar, can you come to meet me up"
"yh sure, gimme twenty minutes, I'll be right there"
"Thank you sis"
The call ended. She walked back to the table where the ladies were devouring their meal.
"Nana, am sorry, I have to leave something urgent came up"
"it's okay, you may leave am not upset"
"Thank you, Nana, you're the best" she bent down to hug Nana.
she picked up her bag and sunglasses and moved towards the door, at the same time, George was running towards the door, He got to the door before her and opened it.
"Lisa, where are you heading"
"To meet someone special at the bar"
"who?!" his voice was slightly raised
"Why are you asking? are you jealous?" she asked raising a brow
he rubs the back of his neck with his hand and looks down shyly.
They've both been very good friends for a very long time, He was Lisa's only friend in high school everyone despised her apart from him, she had started developing feelings for him and started teasing him, she thought he like her too but he never did, she ended up confessing her feelings on graduation day and he told her.
"Look, Lisa, I don't have time for emotions and relationship, I like you but only as a sister, nothing more"
Those were their parting words, she cried a lot that night because it all ended before it began. Those words never left her memory, nobody loved her, and everyone, despise her because of her colour. Her parents abandoned her on the streets after she was born because of her condition, white hair, white skin, and the prettiest blues eyes, Yeah, she is an albino.
Looking at him she began to feel her eyes itch, all the emotions she bottled up for Five years wanted to break free.
"I have to go" her voice was shaky
"Can I drop you"
"No, leave me alone", she started walking out the door
"hey, Lisa am sorry if offended you"
" Am not upset Greggy, okay I'll ride with you" she tried to put on a smile
"let's go then "
They got into the car and headed for the bar, the drive was silent, and Lisa was worried about Lyn. The car halted when they got to the bar
"Thank you for the ride"
"you're always welcome," he said smiling
She got off the vehicle, wore her sunglasses and left, Greg who was originally going to meet his brother at his office let out a deep sigh when she left, he revised the car and set out for his brother's workplace.
"Lyn"
"Lisa". Lyn stood up and embraced her best friend.
"Lisa is so happy you came, sit down". They both took their sit "Do you care for anything?"
"Nahhh, so tell me what's wrong, is it about your father's company or your psycho brother"
"Not really, something really scary happened at my condo, last night, am a bit scared, but am also worried about him, it looked like he was in a lot of pain"
"who? What happened last night ?"
"A gang invaded my condo, at first I thought there were just thieves so I pretended to still be asleep but weren't thieves"
"what? did they hurt you?" Lisa was starting to panic.
"Am fine Lisa, but he wanted to kill me, he said he hated my family, he wanted to make my parents suffer, he didn't hide his face, I could see hatred in his eyes but he didn't pull the trigger he could not kill me, I sure he's responsible for my father's company failure but I don't understand why he hated me so much, I didn't do anything to him, we've never crossed paths"
"Hold on Lyn, so you're tryna tell me that a guy came with a gang to come to murder you in your house because he hates your dad" she pauses to look at Lyn's expression.
"Yh"
"And you're not scared of him"
"Surprisingly am not"
"Do you know him?"
"He looks famous, I don't know his name but I can recognize him anytime I see him"
"Did you tell your dad about this?"
"No, I didn't, my dad is already depressed, I can't worsen his condition"
"Why do you think he couldn't kill you? Do you think he just came to threaten you?"
"Lis, I don't think he came to just threaten me, he revealed his identity, because he probably planned on killing me"
"So what was your reaction, Were you bold and daring or weak and in tears"
"Oh Lisa, hahaha, well I was both kinds of uhmm, bold and in tears". They both had a good laugh. " But seriously Lisa, am still concerned about him, I have been thinking of him non-stop since the incident"
"Lyn, don't tell me you love him?"
"Not love Lis, I just like him, he seems mysterious and dangerous"
"Girl you're one crazy bitch, any normal girl would want to run away from him you are getting all attracted to him"
*Smile
"We're not normal you know, am black, you're yellow, Natty is white, oh yeah speaking of Natty, she called me to come to meet her at the airport later in the day"
"Oh yeah she texted me too, we'll go together then"
"Lis"
"Yeah"
"I've been thinking about this for a while now"
"Tell me"
"Well, what if we set up a Foundation"
"Go on"
"All three of us, we could help boost the self Esteem of people like us"
"Yeah that'll be nice, we can talk to Natty about this"
"Now that it is settled let's go meet our bestie at the airport, I miss her so much"
"Yeah yeah, but one one thing Lyn be careful, I can't lose you not yet, you could come to stay with me temporarily, I don't mind"
"Awww, that will be nice, let go then"
They both walked hand in hand cheerfully chatting.
