The next day, Ahmad was on his way to the airport with his white Mercedes Benz jeep. They were already decorations all over the city, every where was booming with music. He got to the airport and went to the arrivals to wait for them. Few minutes later, Mina came out and ran to hug her brother.
" Hey, easy" Ahmad said as he tried to release himself from her grip
" See the way you're behaving like you don't actually miss you" Ahmad said
" Well, my little miss America. I do miss you" he said poking her nose
" And I miss you too, my Mr judge" she said hugging him again
" If you keep hugging me, I'll lose weight " he said and she laughed
" I get it, you don't want this body to change form because of all the attention you're getting from the ladies" she said referring to the ladies checking him out as they're passing by.
" Anyhow you put it, but this body here was built with a lot of exercise and hardwork so I won't allow little miss America to ruin my effort" he said and they both laughed
" Looks like I'm missing out on some fun " Damon said approaching them
" Damon! " Mina screamed as she ran to hug him
" Be careful mademoiselle" he said taking her back to where Ahmad was
" Should I say bonsoir " Ahmad said jokingly
" I've missed you buddy" Damon said giving him the one sided guy hug after an handshake
" Looking good huh?, The Snickers be looking lit" Damon said to Mina
" That's how we roll" Mina said and they all laughed
" And now we're waiting for Tife, still her habit of coming late" Ahmad said
" And drama" Mina said and they laughed
Ahmad phone rang, he left them to talk as he went to answer it
" Have you guys settled?" Mina asked
" I should be asking you that, you guys still keep contact with each other right?" Damon asked
" Yes, we do. But we never really talked about you, I didn't want to bring up the old matter " she said
" Well,.. I myself don't know" he said
" Look who I found?" Tife said approaching with a lady
" Wow, Jane. Such a surprise" Mina said gritting her teeth with a fake smile on
" She always cones with drama, typical Tife" Mina thought
" Damon, I missed you so much. I didn't know you were back" Jane said going to meet Damon
Mina used the opportunity to drag Tife to one side.
" Seriously, you just had to bring her here" Mina said
" I didn't, she is working here. We bumped into each other and she was insisting on escorting me to my car. Believe me I tried to make excuses but she wasn't buying them. I even told her the driver isn't her yet, she said she'll wait" Tife said
" That does sound like jane" Mina said
" Yeah, ... Is that a new way of saying I miss you. Not even a hug?" Tife said giving puppy eyes
" You know I miss you a lot" Mina said hugging her
" So... Are we set?" Ahmad said coming back
" Hey, how are you?" Tife said shaking Ahmad
" I'm good" he said
" You're also here" Jane said going over to meet Ahmad
" Jane, what are you doing here ?" Ahmad said akwardly
" Tife brought me" Jane said
" She followed me actually, she works here so we bumped into each other " Tife said
" And as an old friend, I had to make sure she gets home safe that's why I followed her here" Jane said
" I really appreciate, we are leaving already." Tife said
" Bye" Mina said entering the car
" Hey" Damon said opening the car door for Tife
She didn't even bother looking at him, she just entered the car and shut the door
" She's definitely still angry at him" Mina thought
" Yo, you can't be upset with them forever" mina whispered to Tife
" I'm not, I mean both of them really hurt me a lot. It's not that easy to forget but I'm not angry at them" she said
" C'mon, I was also upset with you. About you not telling me you and Ahmad were a thing back then. But I got rid of my anger with time" mina said
" They played me, played with my emotion, toyyed with my feelings... It's not that easy to forget " she said knowing quite well they could hear her
" It was an honest misunderstanding, they were just fooling around" mina said
" They both made a bet on me Mina, and you call that a misunderstanding" Tife said
" Tife....it's been 10 years now, let it go" mina said
" For my sake, ... Aunt sake....our friendship sake " mina added
" Fine" she said
" Does that mean we're free to talk now" ahmad asked
" I didn't ask you not to talk" Tife said
" That reminds me sef, Jane was one of Damon's babe in high school" Ahmad said
" Don't ... She wasn't " Damon said
" She was, she was always following you around" Mina said
" She was following me around doesn't mean she was my girlfriend" Damon said
Tife wasn't concentrating on their conversation, her attention was on her phone.
" Tife, this one that you're smiling to your phone.. hope no problem" Ahmad said looking at her through the mirror
" No, I'm just chatting with a friend" she said still smiling
" A friend huh?" Mina asked shrugging her shoulder
" A friend that is making her blush" Damon said
" And who is this friend if I might ask?" Ahmad asked
" He's this guy I met..."
" Guy, interesting " Mina said interrupting
" Would you let me finish?" Tife said
" Aiit" Mina said
" So, I met this guy at one of our meeting. He's staying abroad also but he comes home for holiday. So I was just telling him I'm also back home, that's all" she said
" And is this guy fine?" Mina asked
" See for yourself" Tife said showing her his pics
" Wow, he's an hot cake " Mina exclaimed
" Stop exaggerating " Damon said looking at the pics
" You have to get this guy from friend to another level" Ahmad said
" He's married" Tife said
" Twice " she added
