"Oh that?" I asked, he nodded and said.
"Yes, that." J.J replied.
"What did you expect me to think before?" I asked, smiling mockingly.
"Nevermind." He said and cleared his throat, facing somewhere else.
I smiled and said,
"I'm feeling dizzy."
He ignored my question and asked,
"Where are your friends?"
"They are inside." I replied.
"Why did they leave?" He asked, he seemed a bit annoyed.
"Are you vexed?" I asked.
He shook his head and replied,
"No."
"Are you sure?" I asked again for confirmation.
He nodded and replied,
"Yes." And forced a smile on his face.
"Okay, if you say so." I said.
"What are they doing?" He asked.
"I do not know, you can go and check by yourself if you want." I replied to him.
"Is this what having a best friend feels like?" He asked me.
I ignored him and pretended to have fallen asleep.
He bent over to see my face to check if I had really fallen asleep.
He sighed very deeply and rested his head on the couch headrest and before you know it, he fell asleep.
About two hours later, someone tapped me on my shoulders.
I opened my eyes and saw the three of them staring right down at me.
"Sleeping beauty, wake up." Lizzy said to me and giggled.
"How long have I been sleeping?" I asked the three of them.
"Six hours." Hale replied and laughed softly.
"Come on. I cooked something special and delicious." J.J said and stretched out his hand towards me.
I held onto it and stood up from the chair.
Hale drew out one of the dining chairs for me and the rest of them sat around the dining table.
I was served my portion of the hot noodles.
I frowned a bit and then gave J.J a mischievous grin and asked,
"Is this something special?"
"Yes, it is. Not every guy can cook noodles." He replied.
"How am I sure that this is even delicious?" I asked as I slurped a little portion from my fork.
"How is it?" Lizzy asked, smiling.
"I'm impressed, it's delicious." I replied, smiling at her.
"Here." She said as she added more fillings to my plate.
"Here." Hale said, as he replaced the fillings back for her.
"Here." J.J said, as he gave me more fillings.
Lizzy cleared her throat without saying anything, winked at me and raised her eyebrows, smiling.
None of us spoke again during the meal, we all ate quietly in total silence.
We finished eating and the guys cleared the table and went into the Kitchen.
"Eunice, you didn't tell me that you have already met your dream guy." Lizzy said to me.
"How do you expect me to call you when I just resurrected from death?" I asked her.
"Your phone is with me. Wait, let me get it." She stood up, before I could say anything and entered the same room she and Hale entered earlier.
Shortly, she returned with my phone and earphone, my face lit up the moment she handed it over to me.
"You kept it for me. Thanks." I thanked her, smiling.
"Yeah, I did. I was going to give it to your mom, but the new issue on the ground now hasn't allowed me." She explained to me.
"They think you know my whereabouts, right?" I asked her and she nodded in reply.
"They are fucking stupid, aren't they?" I added,as we both busted out laughing, which attracted the boys to come join us again.
"What's funny, ladies?" Hale asked.
"Can you give us some fucking privacy?" I asked, as I gave the both of them an evil stare.
"Please." Lizzy added, as the both of them nodded.
"What should we do now?" J.J asked.
"Go fuck yourselves." I said at the top of my voice.
"Don't mind her. Come, let's go play video games." Hale said,as they both left, as Hale led J.J into another room.
"Better." I said to them, while Lizzy laughed.
"Gal, you are on fire." Lizzy hailed me.
"Yes, I am." I said as I removed the wig that I was wearing, I actually forgot about it, I just remembered.
"I thought you changed your hair color." She said,
"No. Of course not, I love my blonde. He gave me the wig, it belongs to his younger sister." I explained to her.
"He is such a reasonable guy. Do you think he already likes you?" She asked, curiously.
"I do not know." I said and shrugged.
"I can't tell, since we officially met and talked properly yesterday." I added.
"So, did you see God?" She asked me.
I shook my head and said,
"No, anyone that sees God dies. I didn't see him. I only met an angel, my guardian angel. She was so cool." I said grinning.
"What is she like?" She asked me, curiously.
"Very beautiful, she is out of this world. Indescribable." I explained to her.
She nodded and said,
"You are lucky. Not everyone gets to wake up after death in twenty four hours." She said,
"It's actually twenty three hours and thirty minutes." I corrected her.
"Oh!" She exclaimed.
"You even know." She added, smiling.
"Yeah, I do." I said and smiled back at her.
"You rock." She said and gave me a thumbs up.
I began to wonder if I should tell her that she is pregnant or not.
I am not sure that she is aware.
I decided to tell her.
I have made up my mind.
I inhaled and exhaled slowly and said,
"Lizzy, there is something that I have been meaning to tell you."
"Before you died or after your resurrection?" She asked.
"After my resurrection." I replied to her.
"What is it?" She asked, curiously.
"I do not know if you already know, but I still want to tell you." I said to her,
"Tell me." She said and lifted up a glass of water and started drinking
" I am all ears." She added.
"Uhm...You….. You are pregnant." I stammered.
She spat it out and asked,
"What?"
"You are pregnant." I told her again.
"How did you know?" She asked, surprisingly.
"My guardian angel told me." I replied to her.
"How did she know?" She asked me.
"Because she is an angel." I replied to her, as I collected the glass of water from her, refilled it and gave it back to her.
She took a sip from it, sighed very deeply and asked,
"For how long now?"
"I do not know, but it was that night, you made up. My mom's wedding anniversary with Mike." I replied to her.
She just sighed again, but calmly this time and changed the topic.
"Speaking of Mike, I heard he was not with the rest of your family, the day they got arrested by the police."
"There has been something confidential about him that I recently learnt about." I told Lizzy.
"Do you mind sharing it?" She asked, curiously.
"He is not sterile." I said to her, just then, a cold ran down my spine.
"What?" She asked, shocked.
"Infact, he has a daughter that is five years older than I am, she is twenty four." I said to her,
"I still can't believe this." She said and then asked,
"Has he been married before he met your mom?"
"No." I replied.
"From what I heard, the mother of his daughter is his first love." I added.
"Who told you?" She asked,but before I could reply her, she asked me and question,
"Was it your guardian angel too?" She then laughed softly.
"No." I replied,as I shook my head sideways.
"I heard them myself." I added.
"When?" She asked, out of curiosity.
"The day I resurrection." I responded.
"How many days has it been now?" She asked.
"Three days ago." I replied.
"Hmmm. Is she beautiful?" She asked.
"Yes, she is super strong too." I told her.
"What do you mean by that?" She asked.
"They had a fight. I mean a really big fight." I said to her,
"Really?" She asked.
"Yes." I replied and nodded my head.
"Explain it in detail." She said,
"Start from when you resurrected." She added.
"After I woke up or should I say resurrected?" I asked, but she did not say anything.
"I needed some cash, because I have to clean up myself. That was when I decided to go to the bank." I explained to Lizzy.
"I decided to go there on time, before my mom or Mike goes to delete or freeze my account."
" You know,who goes to banks these days? I didn't know any of my bank branches,so I just decided to search for one." I told her.
"I entered a street and finally found one. On my way there, I found Mike." I added.
"Mike?" Lizzy asked and I nodded in response.
"What was he doing there?" She asked me another question.
"I do not know. I thought he came there to freeze my account or something." I said to her,
"But he was coming out of the bank. Just then, I saw a young woman with him, my first thought was that, that must be his mistress or side chick, but …." I stopped talking, I didn't know why.
"But what?" Lizzy asked, I do not know if it was out of curiosity or if she was concerned,it looked like both.
I sighed very deeply, took a sip from Lizzy's glass of water and continued,
"It turned out that she, I mean the young woman whom I saw with him turned out to be his daughter." I sighed very deeply and closed my eyes.
I opened them again and continued,
"I still can't believe it, that he has been lying to mom. Why has he been lying? Mom loves him a lot." Then I started crying.
"I…. I... I hate Mike...How do I break the news to Mom and Nanna?" I asked Lizzy, looked up at her and faced down.
Lizzy stood up, entered the room she and Hale entered before and came out with a notepad and a pen.
"Did you get her name?" She asked if she sat down again.
"Yes." I said and nodded.
"Eunice,look at me. I got you, okay?" She said, I raised my head to face her again and nodded.
"What's her name?" She asked, looking straight into my eyes.
I smiled at her, she was looking very worried. Her eyes are blue, they look very attractive.
"Anabel or Anabelle. I do not know the one it is." I told Lizzy.
"She is twenty four, right?" She asked as she wrote it down on the notepad.
"Yes." I replied.
"What's her hair color?"
"Brunette." I replied.
"That's all we will need for now, we will go find her." She said as she tore out the pages, folded it and put it in her trousers back pocket.
I shook my head and said,
"No, we can't."
"Why?" She asked and laughed softly.
"She is badly wounded. I told you that they had a fucking fight." I explained to her.
"So?" She asked.
"She must be in a hospital now. If we try to find her, the police will catch us and I will be taken to a fucking lab." I sighed very deeply.
"So,what do we do now?" She asked, stood up and started to pace the room, to and fro.
"Let's forget about her for now." I replied.
"We still have two more people to find." I added.
"And they are?" She asked, curiously,as she returned to the dining chair again.
"My supposed to be financé and personal maid." I replied.
"Who the fuck are they?" She asked curiously.
"Raymond and Genevieve." I replied.
"Wait, how did you know that Raymond is your supposed fiancé?" She asked, surprised.
"That day, I was in a coma and not dead, remember?" I asked and smirked.
