"Lower your voice, am not gonna hurt you" Moses said

"Abi, i pray you become part of our family legally, it either i marry you or my brother" he said
"Please o, i cant marry any of you i don't deserve that" she quickly objected

"Kai, i will start fearing you oh" she said jokingly

"You don't have to, i was thirsty so i decided to go take water before going to checked on u guys, but you were not in Simon room. I decided to go check on you in Bella room that was when i was hearing the nonsense she was saying. Please don't take her words to heart that is how she is, you know that she is very rude she doesn't know how to talk" he gushed inwardly

"No am not, i just want to stay off my limit" she answered
"Limit kuma? You and Bella are funny, because she told you to know your limit you too you want to do that, whack. You know that you are her senior, you need to start standing up for yourself" he advice in a serious tone

Moses got home & everyone was awake eating breakfast already except for Simon
"Where did you have to rushed to this early morning?" His dad asked
"Good morning dad, good morning mom. I have to go do some catching up" moses said
"Morning dear, come seat and have your breakfast or you will go take your bath first?" His mom asked
"I need to eat first am damn hungry" he said sitting down
"Moses have you seen Fola this morning? I woke up and did not see her?" Bella asked
"Fola? I thought she went back home yesterday?" His mom asked
"Mom she didn't because something came up yesterday night" moses replied
"Ohh, what came up yesterday night? Hope she is fine?" She asked in a concerned tone
"Yes she is fine" moses explained everything that happened yesterday night
"She is really a nice girl, she is more mature than this your sister over here, i just don't know where she got her rudeness from. Now i know the reason why Simon said he was not well and unable to join us in eating breakfast. Do you know what might have happened to him yesterday? She asked
"No mom, i have not been able to talk to him yet" he replied
"Enough of the talking please" Bella chipped in
"You must be stupid right, how does our talking affect you? I think am the reason why you are so rude to people, you better adjust your manners and find a way to apologize to Fola if not you will see my other side" she scolded Bella
"Huh"
"I gat to go to work now, see you guys when i get back and you Anna you better do what your mom asked you too, if not i wont get to help you process your admission to Harvard university anymore. You better work on yourself and learn how to respect people" her dad said
"Dad please don't do that, okay anytime i see her i will apologize to her" Bella said
"Your choice, but i have said my own, Ifemi (my love) i will see you later" he kissed her and leave
"Moses you see what you caused right? If i don't go to Harvard university i will not forgive you nor Fola. Mom please talk to dad for me" Bella begged her mom
"I should talk to your dad for what? You want me to talk to your dad and you are here disrespecting your senior brother saying you will never forgive him if you don't study in Harvard. Moses is not your mate, he is 21 & u are 18 i don't know where you left your manners. Please if you may excuse me i need to go to my room" she hisses in annoyance
"Mom, mom, mom" Bella called out
"Will u stop calling her and go find your manners" moses smiled, he left her and went straight to Simon room
"Simon, Simon, Simon where are u?" He called out
"Am in the bathroom" Simon responded
"Oh okay, am waiting for you don't be long" moses said
"Okay, give me two minute" Simon said
"Alright"
"Bro am out, wassup?" Simon asked
"Good morning, omg what all this bruises on your body? How did you get them?" He asked walking close to him to checked the bruises
"It a long story, never mind, was Fola here with me yesterday night?" He asked
"Make it short, how did you get all this bruises? Yes she was here, i got to drop her off this morning" moses replied
"Okay thank you, but did she sleep in my room or your room? By the way how did you know that she was here yesterday?" He questioned
Moses explained everything that happened yesterday to him, how he proved stubborn to Fola and how Bella was rude to her.
"Oh no, i just hope she wont hate me for what happened last night, hope i didn't get drunk plz?" He asked
"Why will she hate you? You know Fola she got a soft heart. Guy you were really drunk yesterday" moses replied
"Oh no, that was why i was having hangover this morning" Simon got flashback of what happened between him and Fola last night.
He smiled
"What that smile for? Bro don't tell me that you went cloud 9 with Fola last night?" Moses asked
"Moses you have started again, i was smiling because i remembered something" he replied
"What did you remember?" Moses questioned him
"Nothing joor, is just that she got a soft body and a soft lips" he said dreamily
"Who got a soft lips and a soft body?" Moses asked
"Fola" he replied
"What Fola? You kissed her? Hope you didn't sex her?" Moses asked in a concerned tone
"Bro i kissed her, it was as if i should never let go of her lips, i didn't sex her she is still a virgin" he said
"Wow a virgin, am always impressed when it comes to Fola" moses mumbled
Simon smiled
"But bro, why not consider dating her or don't you feel anything for her?" Moses asked
"Date her? No i cant, tho she has all the qualities i will ever wish on a woman, but i just cant date her" he replied
"Why cant you date her or is it about your age difference? Age is not determine in love and if u are afraid that mom and dad wont allow your relationship with her you know that a lie. They will approve it. The only problem is Bella and your so called girlfriend Precious they will never support your decision.But it a small deal, Bella is our junior sister and for your girlfriend she doesn't deserve you" moses said
"How did you know that Precious doesn't deserve me?" He asked
"Bro let me not keep you in the dark anymore, i don't want Precious for you, she is a slut she goes around with men old enough to be her grandfather" moses explained
"So you knew all this and you never decided to tell me, how fair is that?" He questioned
"Am sorry bro, i just don't want to be the one to ruined your relationship with Precious i want you to find out yourself" he answered back
"I heard you but you are not forgiven totally, i also find out about Precious yesterday, she was the one that make me to be drunk" he explained things to moses
"What the fuck, you rape her? She must be out of her mind. She will surely pay for what happened to you yesterday, she won't go scot free" moses assured him
"Chill guy, i know what you are capable of please just let her be, she will surely regret her wrong doings just don't do anything to her" he pleaded
"Gosh you are too soft for my liking"
"That is life bro, you don't have to pay evil with evil" he said
"Alright bro, but what about Fola are you still considering her?" Moses asked
"Moses no way, am not dating her i prefer the way we are now, i don't want anything to make me lose her or make her stay far away from me" he said
"Okay na, let fate decide your destiny" moses frowned
"Yeah yeah" Simon smiled
"I gat to leave, i got a date with bae" moses said standing up
"Ooh okay, wish you luck, have fun"
"Funny you, which luck again, catch you lera" moses winked
Moses left and Simon was left in thought.
Simon thought about what he said about Fola, but his pride wont allow him date her, how will his Friends feel when he told them that he is dating his sister friend, that impossible.
Simon slept off.
Some weeks later, School has resumed waec lesson is on but Fola & Bella are not in good terms. Gabby always try her best to make them close the way they use to before but all her effort end up abortive.
After some months, we were done with both WAEC & NECO. Fola got to travel to Edo state to her aunt place since her brother went for service (NYSC).
Fola decided to spend sometime with her aunt than to live in her dad house. She wanted a new environment because she always think of Simon & the night they kissed.
Fola hate the fact that he didn't bother to call or text her after the incident that night. He went for his NYSC without informing her & she don't know the state he was posted to.
During her stay in her aunt place she decided to work to save up for school since her dad said he wont further her education anymore.
Bella become so wild after secondary school, she totally lost her respect and do go to any turn up. She try making Gabby follow her ways but Gabby was not use to Bella lifestyle.

π²"well i don't really know if i will be around, but i will let you know if i can follow you"
π±"alright, catch ya"
π²"okay, take care" (call end)
Gabby kept her phone and lay on her bed.
She misses Fola. Gabby wished Fola was around she wont be following Bella anywhere she goes.
Gabby try calling Fola but her number was unreachable, she was about to sleep when she heard the door bell, it was her elder brother Gabriel.
"Twinny, howfa" Gabriel said
"Fine, fine, thanked God you are home i was about sleeping" Gabriella mumbled
"See her head, so if i didn't decide to come home that is how you will sleep and if someone come knocking the person will think that no one is at home" he raised his brows
"Hmm, the gateman will tell them if someone is home or not. How is school? Hope you bought me goodies?" She asked
"School is fine, you know that if i don't buy anything for you you will pest my life. Am hungry what did you cook?" He asked rubbing his stomach
"I did not cook anything, what will you like to eat let me prepare it for you?" She asked
"Anything please" he replied
"Okay, i will be right backβ¦Let me go prepare rice there is stew in the fridge, i will just warm that up" she said
"Anything please, my own is that let me eat. If the food is ready please just bring it to my room please" he pleaded
"Yes sirπ "
Gabriella went straight to the kitchen, she on the gas & put water in the pot to boil rice.
She went back to her room to get her phone.
Gabby went back to the kitchen to pour the rice and went back to the sitting room to keep herself busy with her phone, chatting and listening to music.
After some minutes, the food was ready and she served her brother by taking the food to his room.
"Ahh finally, thank you sis" he thanked her
"You are welcome, enjoy your meal i will be in the sitting room" she said
"Don't go yet, i need to talk to you" he said looking at her
"Okay, i will wait till you are through with the food"
"Come sit" he said
"Alright"
"Ehhn now am full thanks to you, so tell me how is your friend Fola, it been long i saw her?" He asked
"She is fine, she travelled to her aunt place after our waec i miss her so much" she muttered
"Ohh ehya, why missing her so much when you guys do communicate?" He asked
"No, we have not been communicating, i try calling her severally but her number has not been going through" she muttered sadly
"Don't worry okay, she is fine i guess. What about Annabella?" He asked
"She is fine, am totally fed up about her i just pray she changes" she complained
"I Don't think she is going to change, she is more wild now, her parent are wealthy they do take care of her yet she is a disgrace. I don't want you to be following her, i know she is your childhood friend but i don't want her to influence you to her bad ways BEWARE" he warned in a serious tone
"Alright bro i heard you, but how do you know about her bad ways" she asked
"Hmmm, i saw her one day in a club in Port Harcourt, me & my friend were there chilling when i sighted her with a man old enough to be her dad" he said
"OMG" Gabby gasped in shock
"Yes so beware, if i caught you in that act i swear to God you will regret ever having me as a brother, because i will so deal with you ruthlessly" he said in a serious tone
"Yes sir, i promise to be a good girl" she said
"You better be, when will mom be back from Dubai?" He asked
"Next week i guess, am not sure" she replied
"Alright, so tell me are you now dating don't lie to me?" He questioned
"Nooo am not dating" she answered back
"Don't lie to me, i wont do anything to you just don't lie to me" he said
"Serious bro, am not dating, i have not yet seen the guy that make my heart race fast, but i do have a crush, my heart beat faster the day i set my eyes on him. But the bad thing is, i don't know his name or any information about him" she said
"Ouch ehya, that so bad, anyways if ever you see that guy that makes your heart to race fast don't hesitate to tell me, okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, i will" she smiled and his phone rang
"Twinny, please go open the door my princess is here" he said
"Hmm, this our wife she wont just allow you to rest" she said jokingly
"Silly girl, go open the door joor" he smiled

"It will be better if you change o, if not i wont allow my bro to marry you" she said jokingly
"Where is your brother?" Gracious smiled

Gracious hugged him. How are you doing silly?" She asked
