PRETEND BROTHER
Following week
Today is the promised dinner with Becca's family. Brown is all dressed and ready to go.
He is seen making a video call with a beautiful woman.
Woman: You shouldn't do this, Brown.
Graduate at royal high, get an MBA and get on with your dreams. Revenge isn't the right thing
Brown: Mom, I came here to pursue my dreams and get what is mine. What is wrong with that?
I'm tired of hiding my identity and living in the shadows while others take my place. I can't tolerate it anymore!
Brown's mother: My son, you weren't like this.
I thought you would forget and just live your life without caring
Brown: Love you Mom
Brown's mother: Don't end the call…. (Brown ends call)
Brown: I have made a decision and I'm the determined type. (Gets up and leaves)
THE GREENS MANSION
Kris can be seen in the Greens mansion
Gina enters
Gina: Hey Kris
Kris: Hi Gina, how are you?
Gina: I'm fine.
You're looking hot as usual
Kris: And you're looking grown!
Gina: (Chuckles) Lucy isn't available. I mean, she's gone to the spa
Kris: Oh, I'm not here for Lucy. I came to see Aunt. I called her last week and she gave me today to meet with her
Gina: Oh alright. (Tries to read his mind to find out why but could only hear him talk about how grown and beautiful she has become) Okay, see you later hottie
Kris: Bye funny girl! (Gina leaves)
Funny as usual, but surprisingly a beautiful young girl. Wouldn't have thought she would be this beautiful since I met her last. (Mrs Green enters)
Mrs Green: Kris darling
Kris: (Stands up) Good evening aunt, sorry Mom
Mrs Green: Good boy. Hope you're doing good?
Kris: All good ma'am.
Mrs Green: So what do you want to see me about?
Kris: Is Uncle and his brother home?
Mrs Green: No, they're at some business meeting
Kris: Okay. (Goes to the kitchen and puts his phone in a cooler then locks the door and returns to the sitting)
Mrs Green: Anything the matter?
Kris: Not at all. I just don't want to be tempted with food, I'm on fast (grins)
Mrs Green: (Ignorant) Hahahaha, funny you. But that's a good way to prevent temptation
Kris: Yes Mom
Um, mom, do you have a brother? Like the one you never knew you had?
Mrs Green: No, I was the one child and no other child before or after me
Kris: What about uncle?
Mrs Green: His surviving sibling is Thomas and no one else
Kris: Like no hidden twin or something like a step brother?
Mrs Green: No, nothing of such
Kris: Like at all?
Mrs Green: At all, my dear.
Why asking this?
Kris: Um nothing actually. It's just that I saw some picture of someone that looks like Uncle and thought he was his sibling or something
Mrs Green: People look alike dear
What's that what you wanted us to talk about?
Kris: Not really.
I wanted to talk about mom. You were close to her, if not closest.
Did she ever tell you anything about my dad? (Knowing fully well that she wouldn't have the answer to his question)
Mrs Green: Well, your mom was someone who laughs away her past whenever the topic is raised, she never talks about them.
I'm sorry my child but I don't think I know anything about him.
Kris: It's okay. He's probably dead.
Thanks a lot for your time mom, I really appreciate.
Mrs Green: Welcome dear
Kris: (looks around him) My phone.
Silly me, I must have left it in the kitchen. (goes to take it)
I have to do somethings now, can I take my leave please.
Mrs Green: Of course
Kris: Thanks again for your time mom, I more than appreciate
Mrs Green: Welcome dear
Kris: Bye (Kris leaves)
Mrs Green: I wish I got the information he needed but his mom was a secretive one
OUTSIDE
Kris goes to his car and calls Callo
Kris: The watch was never in the market, I was deceived. Time to place a better order and win against my opponent
Callo: Should I order for you bro?
Kris: No, let me get there first and we'll discuss the best watch to order
Callo: Noted
AT BECCA'S HOUSE
Brown is seen seated on a table set at the balcony. Becca left as her phone rang inside the house.
Brown 'mistakenly' knocks the glass of juice over and it spilled on Mrs Tabitha's dress, she gets up after telling Brown not feel bad as mistakes happen, and goes to change her dress. Brown looks around and sees no one, luckily the security camera faced the other way and Brown quickly mixes something in Mrs Tabitha's wine before the camera turns to his side.
He smiles triumphantly. Becca enters.
Becca: It was Lucy asking some girls question. Hope you're not bored?
Brown: Not at all (smirks)
(Mrs Tabitha enters)
Becca: You changed your dress?
Mrs Tabitha: Yes, Brown mistakenly spilled juice on me
Brown: Clumsy me….
Becca: It's fine. Mistakes happen
Mrs Tabitha: Same thing I told him.
(Drinks the wine) You know, your friendship is making me think otherwise
Becca: (chuckles) Mom, We're just friends and nothing more.
Even people think we are dating and we are not.
We just have this connection. I feel he's like a brother I never had and wished to have
Brown: You always wanted a brother?
Becca: Always! I disturbed mom and dad but they said two of us was enough. I even asked for some adopted or even step brother but you see, the love birds loved each other a lot.
Mrs Tabitha: You can take Brown as your brother, if you want. Since you feel some connection with him.
Becca: Will you be my brother? Atleast the one I can call such?
Brown: (surprised) Um, how can I say no?
Becca: Thank you! (Hugs him)
Mrs Tabitha: (feeling dizzy) I will leave you two, I think I need rest. (leaves)
Brown: (To himself) I shouldn't have done that, I never knew I would be accepted, even as a pretend brother. What have I done?
Becca: So brother, I can tell you guys stuff right? (Brown nods absentmindedly)
So, there is this guy, he said he loves me.....
