Rebecca handed the groceries she got on her way tho one of the maids as soon as she got into the house, at her aunt's place.
' hey aunt' Rebecca said with a broad smile as soon as she saw her aunt
' that's my baby girl' Aunt Chloe replied hugging her
They remained that way for about 10 seconds before they disengaged
Aunt Chloe has always been so close to Rebecca since she was a baby. Rebecca was a daughter that was meant to be cherished, that was her mindset.
She never had a daughter, just a son who was studying outside the country, London to be precise. So Rebecca was just like the daughter she never had.
Her husband used to be a captain in the army, until he died in the battlefield. Jordan was just a kid then.
' how much I've missed you aunt' Rebecca said, pouting like a kid
' missed you more, darling' her aunt replied
they walked towards the couch and sat down.
' but aunt? you know I'm not happy with you right? Last time I really had to spend much time with you was during my graduation few months ago. It's not fair you know.' Rebecca complained feigning disappointment.
' I'm so sorry baby, you know how things are with my company. I had a lot of overseeing to do and I was always outside the country for one business deal or the other.' her aunt explained
' I understand that aunt. But that doesn't mean you can't pay a visit sometime. Video calls are not just enough, you know'
' I know that. And I'm sorry okay. I'll make it up to you' she said finally knowing fully well that that was what Rebecca wanted to hear
' that should be good enough' Rebecca replied, smiling like she had just won a lottery.
' what would you like to eat Becca.'
' spaghetti sauce and chicken with some veggies'
' does it always have to be spaghetti? See how lean you've grown.'
' of course it has to be spaghetti. It's my favorite but that doesn't mean I don't eat varieties' Rebecca replied
' besides I haven't grown lean. Maybe my outfit today makes me look that way, but I'm seriously not lean' Rebecca said getting up and turning around, giving her aunt a full view of her body
In a short while they were in the dining, their food served. They started eating.
' I wish Jordan were here. I miss his pesky attitude.' Rebecca said putting some spaghetti in her mouth
' you do?' Aunt Chloe asked feigning surprise
' that is between you and me, aunt. You're not allowed to tell him else his head's gonna swell like a balloon' she said demonstrating with both hands spread apart
' and whoever said I was gonna tell him?' her aunt replied
' just wanted to make sure' she replied smiling sheepishly
' away from that, I've not heard you mention your boyfriend since you arrived. That is so unlike you.' Aunt Chloe said with her index finger on her chin as if thinking
' we broke up.' Rebecca blurted out, a hint of disappointment flashing through her eyes
'what happened dear?' Aunt Chloe asked, with concern written all over her face
' well, he cheated on me.' she said
' I'm so sorry dear... Guys are really something else nowadays. I really need to teach that boy a lesson' her aunt said in annoyance
' aunt, don't bother. Leaving him is just enough punishment seeing the way he looked so disheveled just a day after our breakup.' she said to her aunt feigning a smile
' I hope you're okay... I mean emotionally'
' I'm fine. I've been good the moment I parted ways with that backstabbing liar. You don't have to worry about me.' she said with a smile
' I can't stop worrying about you. Come on, I only want what's best for your well-being'
' I understand aunt.' she paused for a while and then continued.
'so for the records, I'm officially single. it's not like I care anyway.' she said swaying her hands above her head
' that's my girl!' her aunt said seeing the way she looked so unaffected by the breakup
' aunt? Do you believe in love at first sight?' she asked changing the topic
' of course. It's really something beautiful to experience' her aunt replied
' so tell me, who did you fall in love with?' she asked Rebecca, her eyes waiting for response
' I can't call it love yet aunt... I almost got hit by his car just yesterday...and that was how we met.'
' I just feel drawn and attracted to him, even if i never knew him.' she added blushing a bit
While at the table, they chatted about first love for a while and her aunt gave her some pieces of advice.
' you said you had something for me, aunt?' Rebecca asked a bit curious
' yeah, I do have something for you. Do you always have to be so curious?' Aunt Chloe asked
' I can't help it aunt, and yeah, I couldn't help but wonder what you had for me.' Rebecca confessed
' I'll brief you once we're done with lunch'

it was a few hours after Kol returned from the hospital, when he received another call
Tiffany and Amy left him in the sitting room and were in Tiffany's room up the stairs
' David, what's up? ' he answered immediately
' we got them Boss, we were able to retrieve the surveillance footage from the scene where they left the car' David reported and Kol immediately sat up
' how many of them?' Kol asked
' three of them,' David replied
' okay. So did they say anything about who sent them?' Kol asked
' Not yet, but I'll fill you in on every detail.'
' alright.' Kol said and the call was ended.
Tiffany and Amy walked down the stairs almost immediately.
'Kol, this house is getting a bit boring. We're going to the park to spend some time' Tiffany said to her brother
' yeah, Kol. You should come with us. ' Amy added
' I never complained of boredom. And besides, you know it's not so safe out there' he said to them
' don't try to convince us to stay, it's not like we're going alone anyway, we're gonna be fine' Tiffany assured
' besides Kol, my weekend has been ruined. I should have at least a little fun, don't you agree with me?' Amy asked
' fine. Have it your way.' Kol said finally
' we'll be back in a jiffy.' Tiffany said as they both walked out
