Episode forty eight
Fuck you, Kris!
The next day,
It's Evening, Sean and Lucy are on a movie date, watching a romantic comedy.
Kris drives to Lucy's house, the security man lets him in, he immediately runs to the door and rings the bell.
A maid: (Answers the door) Good evening Mr K.
Kris: (Pushes the door open and goes inside). Where is your small Madam?
Maid: Miss Lucy went out with a young man, Sir
Kris: Damn!
How long has she been out?
Maid: About an hour ago, sir
Kris: Where did they go?
Maid: I don't know about that sir.
(Mrs Green descends from the stairs)
Mrs Green: Kris, my child, What a pleasant surprise!
Kris: Good evening Aunt
Mrs Green: No no no.
Kris: Sorry, Good evening Mom
Mrs Green: Good
How are you? (Sits on a couch) Come sit with me.
Kris: I'm sorry but I just came to check up on Lucy, I didn't plan on staying.
Mrs Green: Oh okay.
She just left with a science Wiz on a date.
Said it was a friendly date.
Kris: (in a low tone) Even if it's a friendly date, I still don't want it.
Mrs Green: What do you say, son?
Kris: Um, I….I know about the date.
I just, there's something we have to discuss right now. It's about music.
Mrs Green: They went to the see the movies, you can just meet them there and discuss whatever you want to discuss with her
Kris: Em, yes.
It's just, I don't know the cinema they went to..
Mrs Green: Neither do I know.
But if you want to talk to her badly, I will track her location for you.
We have a way of tracking her through her phone, her Dad did that
Kris: Yes, please.
Mrs Green: (Tracks her location and sends it to Kris)
Kris: Thanks Mom.
Mrs Green: Welcome dear
Kris: I have to leave now
Mrs Green: Okay, bye dear
Kris: Bye. (Leaves)
Kris drives quickly to the cinema where Lucy and Sean were.
He couldn't see them in the cinema as the movie ended before he came.
He asks about them from a worker he sees by describing them. The worker knows exactly who he is describing and tells him that they went across the road to get some drinks.
Kris goes across to meet them.
Kris: (Sees them in a table under a big umbrella) Where the fuck, did he take her to?
This is a poor place! We don't do poorly!
The environment, gosh!
(Walks briskly to them but as he goes near, he sees Sean leaning to kiss Lucy on her lips)
Oh no, you don't! (angry, pulls Lucy away from her chair and the rubber chair falls, breaking noisily and drawing the attention of other people present)
Sean: Hey, K.
What's up, man?!
Kris: (to Lucy) Let's leave here. (Drags her away)
Sean: Dude! We are on a date!
Lucy: Leave me alone Kris.
Kris: No
Lucy: You're hurting me!
Kris: (Loses his grip on her)
Lucy: What do you want?
Kris: There's something I wanna discuss with you.
Lucy: We can discuss it some other time, tomorrow if you want.
Kris: We are discussing it now.
Sean: Why don't you discuss it here?
Kris: Shut the fuck up!
Lucy: Why can't we discuss it here?
Kris: We just can't.
Sean: Stop being a babysitter, K, and leave my girlfriend alone. (Kris punches him)
People: Fight fight fight!
Sean: (looks at his lips and sees blood) What the?
Kris: (punches him again, Sean spits blood) Don't you ever call her your girlfriend!
Lucy: Stop it Kris, stop!
(Goes to meet Sean and tries to help)
Sean: It's okay, L.
(to Kris) Lucky you, I'm a gentleman, I don't fight.
Kris: Fuck you!
Sean: See you later Lucy. (Leaves)
Lucy: You are crazy, Kris!
Crazy bad, not crazy good! (Walks away angrily)
Kris: Lucy, Luc! (Runs After her, Lucy boards a taxi and leaves)
She even boarded a taxi. Something she hadn't done before.
She's so mad at me!
What did you do, Kris?
What is wrong with you?
Ah!!!
Lucy stops at her house, pays the driver and goes inside.
Mrs Green: (Who has been in the sitting since Kris left, watching a movie, sees her daughter come in). You're back soon?
Lucy: Yeah
Mrs Green: Why?
Lucy: I don't want to talk about it.
Mrs Green: Hmm, okay.
Did you see Kris? He came looking for you and said…
Lucy: I said, I don't wanna talk to anyone!
(Mounts the stairs)
Mrs Green: What happened?
(Shrugs her shoulders) Teens, always with drama.
At Lucy's room
Lucy enters her room and shuts the door noisily. She sits on her bed and begins to think angrily about the incident.
Lucy: What the heck is wrong with Kris? Why did he behave that way?
Looking for me and spoiling my date?
Why?!
I'm not a baby! Why are you watching me?!!
(Phone rings, caller; Kris)
Why Calling me now?!
(Does not pick the call, Phone rings twice and she ignores)
Kris is confusing! I feel so much anger now!
(Phone rings again, about to throw it away but sees the caller, who is Bestie, Becca)
Hey Babe
Becca: Best, what happened?
Your voice..
Lucy: I don't feel like talking about it
Becca: Oh,
Ummm….okay..
Lucy: What's up?
Becca: I just wanted to gist you on happenings
Lucy: Gist away.
Becca: Brown and I just talked on the phone, he asked officially to be my friend.
He said he hadn't asked well before.
I guess that's how they make friends in Nigeria, you ask them to be your friends officially before you can be sure they are your friends
Lucy: Maybe.
But is it friendship friendship or friendship dating?
Becca: I think it's just friendship, not even close to friendship friendship.
Lucy: Hmm, okay
Becca: Lizzy was there when I was talking to him on the phone, I was in the backyard and I didn't notice her presence behind me.
She started doing all, ohooo, little sis got a boyfriend, ohooo.
Lucy: (Chuckles) She's not to blame anyways, one will think you are dating.
With your constant meetings and all, using learning as a cover
Becca: Learning is not a cover!
Lucy: Yeah yeah, I know
Becca: Even Kris thinks I'm dating Brown, like C'mon! We're just friends.
Lucy: Don't mention Kris here.
Becca: He's the reason for your anger, isn't he?
Lucy: I was on a date with Sean and just when he was about to kiss me, Kris just came out of nowhere and punched him badly, twice!
He was even trying to take me away from Sean.
Becca: Wow.
Kris has never done that
Lucy: It's confusing, isn't it?
When I was on a date with Damon, he didn't do that, even when he knew Damon was a playboy
Becca: Well, he had someone watching your every date with Damon.
Lucy: You see what I'm saying, He's some kind of babysitter to me!
Becca: There's a reason behind all these.
My guess is love.
Lucy: He doesn't.
Remember when he said that he was joking?
Becca: We will ask him tomorrow, okay?
Lucy: Okay.
But that will be after welcoming, (With nonchalance) the new members of the family.
Becca: Fine by me.
We will visit his Mansion
Lucy: Kk.
Even good for me to get away from my shivers giving uncle.
