While still in Natty's embrace Greg's eyes flung wide open when he realized that the white-skinned lady that hugged his sister, Natty was Lisa.
Lisa also saw his expression and was a bit confused as to what Greg was doing here, hugging Natty.
'Maybe they are just friendly colleagues' she thought, Natty and starred in some movies, meeting Greg was not impossible. She turned to look at Lyn, Lyn's gaze was on the other guy.
"Lyn, do you know him?"
"Lis, he's the one"
"who?"
"The man from last night"
Lisa "..."
The trio stopped hugging and Natty motioned for the other ladies, Lyn and Lisa to come towards them. Lisa and Lyn started walking toward the trio.
"Lyn aren't you scared"
"Am a bit nervous"
"nervous? the man who's after your life is standing right in front of you and you're nervous? seriously?"
"Yes"
Lisa "...."
"Lyn Lisa, I haven't told you about them before but these are my brothers from another mother, we might not be related but I love them" Natty was smiling widely "So, Greg, George meet Melissa, the nicest albino I know, and this is Evelyn my black beauty"
George was standing face to face with her, the daughter of his sworn enemy, the one who replaced humans and made him suffer in misery all his life, he didn't want to be nice and kind to her but his sister was there, he decided to stay quiet
"Nice to meet you, Melissa," Greg said grinning, "so you know my sister?"
"Greggy, I never knew she was your sister"
"wait, you guys know each other" Natty asked, They both nodded "that great"
"Hi, George is Melissa" She extends her hand for a handshake.
"Hmm" he shakes her hand. Lisa elbows Lyn to do the same.
"Oh sorry, Greg is Evelyn" she extends her hand too for a handshake.
"Nice to meet you Lyn" he stretches his hand to shake her.
"Nice to meet you, George," she said looking down at her feet. George didn't reply nor did he accept her handshake, he turned his back and left.
Lisa '....'
Natty "...."
Greg "....."
Lyn stared at her stretched hand and then dropped it,
'Sigh'
"Hey Evelyn please don't mind my brother, he might just be in a bad mood"
"yeah Lyn fo ets about it, I'll talk to his letter", Natty said stretching her hands to pinch Lyn's cheek "Now baby girl, Smile for me, it's been so long since I saw your pretty face, don't spoil it with a frown, come on smile".
"You look so pretty miss Evelyn, I've never been a dark girl as pretty as you are," Greg said trying to cheer her up.
"You're just making me feel good"
"No am serious, you're pretty".
"Thank you" she replied looking down at her feet blushing lightly.
"What's in the bag, Greg?"
"You'll soon find out sis"
They left the VIP area of the airport and moved towards the limo prepared for them.
"Natasha Brinks" One lady screamed pointing at her.
"OMG It's the Natasha Brinks"
"I love you Natty"
The crowd was going haywire, then someone recognized Greg and another commotion was created.
"OMG, she's with Gregory Stone"
"The Natasha Brinks is with Gregory Stone, My goodness they look like a cute couple"
"I saw him with a guy at the mall, going to the women's clothing section," a lady said showing the pictures she took to her friends.
"OMG, so that means they must be dating, awww, am so jealous"
"Me too"
"I've seen those two somewhere before"
"The black and white girls right?"
"Yh, I think they were models for MacNeil, they participated in his All shades of beauty Concept."
"Yeah, I remember, they're both so pretty in person"
"I'll click as many pictures as possible, I'm so happy to be here this day"
Natty, Greg Lyn and Lisa walked to where the limousine was waiting for them, Natty had a bright smile, trying to look good for all their pictures. Lyn on the other hand was thinking deeply, she knew he hated her and couldn't stand the sight of her, but she wanted to know why.
"Lyn, Lyn Hello" Lisa waved her hands in front of Lyn's face to get her attention.
"Am sorry Lisa, I spaced out"
"What are you thinking about, anyway, get in the car, let's leave"
"Oh, okay"
She got into the car and sat beside Lisa, she tried as much as possible to just get along with their conversation but she continued spacing out. She was contemplating what to do, this could get worst if he best friend and sister George finds out about their sour relationship, she didn't want to spoil theirs and make him hate her the more, but she also wanted to know why he hated her, She knew she had never met him to directly offend him 'or could it be her parents' she had thought. She decided to ask her Dad if he knows George.
"Lynn"
"Evy"
"Evelyn!" They both yelled.
"Yes, yes" she responded with a start.
Natty looked at Evelyn with concern written all over her face "What's wrong with you? we've been trying to get your attention for a while now"
"Nothing, am fine" She lied and faked a smile "So what did you want me to see"
"Oh yeah, Greg gave us these dinner dresses and I think this white one Will look so good on you," Natty said handing her the dress.
"Natty, it's yours, I love it but I can't take it your brothers got it for you"
"Oh Lyn, they wouldn't mind and besides it's mine, I can give it to whomsoever I want to" she put the dress back inside the bag and handed it over to Lyn "There is jewellery in there too, please come over for my welcome party tomorrow evening, I'll send you the address, right now we have a lot of catching up to do"
"Am so hungry Nat"
"Let's go have lunch then" She opened the door and stepped out, Lisa followed her and Lyn just realized that they had arrived at the eatery a long time ago.
'sigh'
"Miss, your friends are calling you," the driver said.
"Oh yeah, am coming" She hurriedly got down from the car and ran towards them.
