Before she could open her mouth to refute, Uncle Jeff clapped his hands and beaming he said, " Okay, then , I guess it's settled then, my baby girl is going to school soon. You will be going to Fordham High, next week! '
May rolled her eyes and letting air out of her mouth heavily, she suddenly smirked when she saw how satisfied they were.
"What's with the look?" Damien asked.
" It's the look again?! " Uncle Jeff sighed. They all knew what this meant.
"I will resume only on one condition."
A grip of fear fell on both Uncle Jeff and Damien when they saw that look in her eyes. It couldn't be anything good whatever it was!
"Um, what is it, then, we will do it as long as it's negotiable." Damien spoke up first after the strange long silence.
"Nun uh! No negotiations here business man, this is my own terms now because I can decide not to go anymore and you can't stop me." May answered with a sly smile.
" Okay dear, what's the condition? " Uncle Jeff asked while pulling his tie loose. This was one hell of a night!
"Yess.. say it already!" demanded Damien, he wondered what was cooking in her head now. She might just cause more trouble.
They both stared at her as she continued smiling and tapping on her chin like she was thinking until Uncle Jeff called out with a low growl, " May Williams!!"
"Okay, okay!!" May surrendered raising her hands up.
"I just want Xu Mey to come with me, that's all." She finally let down the bomb.
Uncle Jeff: " Sighs in relief."
Damien:" Raises a brow."
May: " Any objections! "
" Wait do you mean the Korean girl, she's a mute... "
" And my only friend! " May cut in sharply.
" Alright! But how do you expect her to cope," Uncle Jeff butt in.
" That's the thing Uncle Jeff, she will be there for me and me for her and besides Mey can handle herself. " May replied.
" I don't think you should drag her into this. Besides she isn't a good influence on you, ". Damien frowned.
" What's that supposed to mean ? " May asked feeling a tick on her head.. oh someone had a death wish tonight.
"Yeah what's that supposed to mean, that girl is who we should be worried about. "
" Hey!! Uncle Jeff!! " May called out when she caught on to what he said.
"Okay.. if you say so.. I am cool with it." Damien agreed laughing lightly.
" I actually don't care if you are or not, " May deadpanned.
Before Damien could refute back, Uncle Jeff said," Alright, I will send a message across to her fa.. "
" Oh don't worry, she is in Seattle. I will just tell her to come over. It might take time but she will be here. "
" You can always work out something for her right? She can be an exchange student or something."
May said without giving them a chance to refute and gave them a business smile.
Damien sighed and massaged his head that was already throbbing.
"Like I said, it's fine, don't worry Uncle Jeff. I will arrange everything."
Uncle Jeff nodded. " Alright then, if this makes you happy, then you get ready for school. You can have my black card for shopping. I am sure you would enjoy that. " He said with a fond smile.
May tried not to roll her eyes, really?! Shopping! No one knew nothing about her honestly.
Damien scoffed and May turned and glared at him.
"What?! Why are you glaring at me, it's not like you go shopping or do anything girls your age do, do you?" He asked giving her a provoking look.
"I don't have time to answer your stupid question and if that's all, I'm off, Uncle Jeff." May said and closed the door behind her.
Uncle Jeff sighed in relief and slumped down on his chair, " Well, I'm glad that went well."
"Yeah, I think she's still .ad that you yelled at her but don't worry, I will handle all those rumors and also the school exchange for the Chinese girl." Damien said with worry tinged in his voice. This was a man that he respected so much, he sacrificed so much to keep the people he loved safe. Would have been nice if he was his dad.
"Oh that..i know she will come around, and I thought, she was Korean?" Uncle Jeff asked.
" Right now I don't know anymore, Uncle Jeff, but are you sure May will be cool. She doesn't take anything with mom in it lightly."
" She will be don't worry about it, son." To which Damien smiled.
Only God knew how stressed this whole issue had been for him, all he wanted was a normal life for the most abnormal person he knew and cared of.
What could go wrong, right?!!
