Chapter 8 - Cats and dogs

...

"Aww calm down bestie, just relax while I shock you with this" placing her hand on her shoulders, she grinned, "I saw Marvin yesterday and he told me he has broke up with Janette and he is coming to get you back"

Raising her eyebrows, "huh? Is that it? Well then, what did you say to him?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Nelly sneakily stood up from the couch and began to step backwards. "Trust me I told him that you're gonna be in town today, so he has the free time to bump on you wherever he wants" Nelly pranked and grinned.

Widening her eyes and mouth in shock, Bianca gasped, "ohhh–" gritted her teeths and crumbling her hands into a ball, "You shouldn't have done that Nelly Anderson"

"I shouldn't have–ahhh!" Nelly screamed and dashed straight to her room upstairs when Bianca chased her.

Continuing with her knitting thing, granny Mathilda laughed, "they play like cats and dogs on the phone and now they're doing the same, personally."

"Now my daughter has come alive" Kevin chuckled.

Flicking his forehead, Elsa scrunched her brows, "what do you mean by that? Huh?"

Rubbing his forehead, "Come on darling didn't you see how happy she is right now? She's totally different from this morning?"

"That's the handwork of her best friend's presence" Ryan chuckled.

"You know for some old reason, I never knew that Nel would have such a hot friend" Billy said.

Scowling his face, "hot friend, huh? Do you even realize that you're in a relationship?" Justin said.

Rolling his eyes, "can you please cut it out and stop bulling me? Because am not engaged yet"

"Whatever" glancing at his watch, Justin stood up from the couch, "I gat to go"

"Where?" Ryan, Billy and Thomas asked in unison.

Giving them a weird look, "what's up with you guys? I need to go and pick my fiancee up from the spa, remember"

Giving an absent expression, they rolled their eyes, "yeah whatever, you can carry on"

Giving granny Mathilda a sweet peck on the top of her head, Justin cupped his chin. "I'll see you later grandma"

"Alright dear"

Turning towards Kevin and Elsa, he smiled, "I'll see you guys later"

"Okay but don't forget to come for dinner" Kevin said.

Taking a deep breath, Justin sighed and nodded his head. "Okay fine"

"Hey! Are you seriously leaving like seriously?" Ryan dashed out of the mansion after him. Billy and Thomas followed.

5:30pm

Edwin's apartment

"No she's not yet back" Isabella talked to the person on the other side of the call.

"But why? I think it's getting late over there in L.A, am I right?" Edwin inquired curiously.

"Yes honey, it's just 5:30 in the evening and am sure she's on her way home"

"Didn't you called her on the phone?"

"Yes I did but she's not picking up, but don't worry, am not panicking because I know she's safe"

"Bella how sure are you to know that our daughter is safe? I mean I asked her to call me immediately she land in LAX but–
