Jerome
Thonia didn't stay in class throughout today. After Elsa left she followed Elsa behind as that was the last time I saw her. Now school has closed and I still can't find her. I wanted to tell her that the excursion has been cancelled so she won't bother going to the teacher's office to wait. I got outside of school and I sighted my driver waiting beside the car. I was about going to meet him when I decided to check again if I'll see Thonia around. Lucky me, she was just heading out of the school gate
"Thonia! Thonia!" I shouted as I waved to her and she smiled as she ran to where I was standing
"Hey Jerome... Are you going home right now? She asked and l nodded as I pointed to my driver and my car
"Come lemme give you a ride home " I said and she nodded as she followed me to my car. My driver entered the driver's seat and started the car while I opened the door for her and she entered. After she entered, the driver started the car and we drove off
"What's wrong Thonia? You weren't in class today" I suddenly asked and she adjusted myself before looking at me
"I went to the principal's office to see him concerning my result since I'll be travelling before the result comes out" she said and I gave her an "ohhhh" look
"Oh okay then ... And hope Elsa is fine too?" I asked and she nodded before picking up her phone. She stopped staring at her phone and looked at me
"When will I meet your sister? You promised me that I will meet your sister this week and now today's is Friday" She said and I chuckled before holding her hand
"Babe we will meet her tomorrow... Let's just prepare for our date this night" I said as I peaked her cheek and she blushed
Forte
"Why is Thonia so eager to find out what Elsa said when she was unconscious? Are they really cousins? Or does she have another motive that I don't know?" I kept poundering on the questions as I walked to my workplace
"Big Brother!" I heard Rica's voice from the other side of the road. She quickly crossed and ran to where I was standing waiting for her
"Hey sweetie... How are you and how was school?" I asked as soon as she got to where I was
"I'm fine and school was awesome... No more bully, Sam got me covered. Since she's wealth and I'm her friend, all the bully became afraid to touch me" she replied happily and I smiled seeing my sister happy. First time I won't get a bully complain
"That's good... I'm happy for you sweetie" I said and she blushed. I held her hand as we walked to my workplace
"What about Elsa? How is she doing? Hope she wasn't in pain today?... Did she cry?... Did anyone bully her or laughed at her?..." She was about talking again when I left her hand and walked faster away from her. She screamed my name as she ran after me. We got to my workplace and she held my clothes so I won't enter the shop
"Big Brother" she called softly that my heart almost melted and i sighed and looked at her
"Why Elsa?... Why do you care so much about her? Okay fine... Why not attend my school so you can watch her closely since you're her watchdog" I said calmly and she pouted, her eyes were teary
"That's because her sister cares alot about her... Her sister is worried sick that her parent will hurt her... Now her parents have decided to send Sam to her grandparents house so that they'll be able to maltreat Elsa the more. If they get seperated, Elsa will have no one, no friend, no family... Just she and she alone... Forte... Elsa needs your help" Rica said as tears rolled down her eyes and I pulled her to a warm hug
"I have to work now... Go in, I'll send Harvard to attend to you" I said before disengaging from the hug and I walked into the shop
"Forte! Go and attend to that customer over there now!" Mrs Bianca said as soon as she saw me and I nodded. Why the fuse? Is the customer a popular person or what? I asked myself as I walked to there the customer was sitting. I met her resting her head in the table
"Hello ma'am, what do you care for?" I asked and she sighed before raising her head
"Forte?!" She said weakly and I looked at her closely.
"Wait... Elsa!... Elsa what happened to you?... Why is your face like this?.. What wrong?" I said and just then she passed out
Thonia
After dressing up, I called Jerome to come and pick me up then I went upstairs to carry my bag and head out of the house. I met Mr Waylon outside coming out of his car.
"So... Where are you going to dressed like this by this time of the night?" Mr Waylon asked and I adjusted my clothes
"I'm going out with Jerome... I told you we have a dinner date this night and he's almost here to pick me" I replied and he moved closer to me
"Make sure you follow it as planned and don't leave any traces down okay? He said and I nodded and moved him out of the way
"Hey, how do I look?" I asked as I turned and face him then he smiled
"You look good" he replied before going into the house
"Hey Thonia! Don't try to play rough with me, remember our deal... I hope you don't forget that and keep your head straight" he shouted before slamming the door while I opened the gate
Jerome?! I said with a surprised to e and he smiled at me
"Why are you shocked?" He asked pulling me to a warm hug
"Nothing... I'm just happy to see you" I quickly said as I broke up from the hug
"I heard a man's voice earlier... Are your parents in?... Let me say Hi to them before leaving" he said as he tried to open the gate but I was quick to stop him
"Let's go... My parents ain't at home... That was my cousin so don't worry" I said I I pulled him to his car, we got in and drive off
Jerome
We got to a Eatery along the street. I could take her to Golden Gate Eatery because my reservation got cancelled due to fire outbreak this evening. I explained to her but she said she won't be going in because she's bigger than the restaurant. It wasn't her taste nor her class so she doesn't want to enter. I came down and went into the Eatery to get us coffee and burger before I make another reservation.
Welcome Sir... What would you like to order?" I heard a familiar voice and I raised my head and OMG it was Forte
"Forte!!!! Do you work Here? Like seriously?" I asked as I couldn't control my laughter
"Hey stop it Jerome! Just keep your mouth shut" he said feeling embarrassed
"Are you embarassed? Oh my.... What a big new "The Almighty Kim Forte works at a cafe" or " The Mr Perfect works at a cafe close to school" how will it be?" I asked and he cover my mouth with his hand
"Just shut up and make your order" he said as he removed his hands from my mouth
Okay... Okay.... Fine I won't tell anyone" I said as I took the book to make my order
"And please don't tell Thonia" he added and I paused as I gave him a deadly stare
"What's that suppose to mean? What does this have to do with my girlfriend? Are you crushing on her?" I said but he pulled me by my shirt and dragged me outside
"Will you stop shouting you speaker!" He said angrily and i kept quite as I paid closer attention to him
"It's like your so called girlfriend is digging into my life because I overheard what Elsa said when she was unconscious but I refused to tell her when she desperately begged me to tell her and I don't blame her because they are cousins bit the desperation is what I'm not comfortable with" Forte said and I gave him a confused look
"Huh? But Thonia told me that she does not know any of her family members talk more of her cousins... She doesn't know her aunt and her uncles so how will she know her cousins??" I said confusely
"What! Does that mean she's lying? She lies so I'll tell her what Elsa said? He asked and I became curious
"What is she up to? Why does she want to know what Elsa said? Moreover they are close,so why can't she ask Elsa instead?" I asked without expecting an answer
"Maybe she's trying to use it to prevent more rumours about Elsa in school" he replied and i shook my head in disapproval
"Something.... Something does not seem right about her" I muttered as I stated into space
"Huh?... What do you mean ?" Forte asked curiously and I gave a "what's your business" look
"Wait what?... When did we become this close that I have to tell you all my secrets?" I asked and he scared me with a punch and I moved back acting scared
" Ha ha ha ha... I mean is it because of your secret?... Don't worey, your secret is safe with me" I said before walking back into the cave
