Drill 's Pov
I can't believe my eyes. Who in the world does he call himself? Just when I think I am putting my life together, I am disrupted from my meeting by a call from Diana my father's personal Assistant commanding me to get back home immediately. I wonder what this Old man is up to , I just can't seem to wrap my finger around it.
It better make sense other wise I am likely to come back in pieces which I dare not wish for myself.
I pull over in the compound and I am shocked .
Dad! I hurriedly came to your rescue but I just can't believe this, I was told you were in the hospital with your blood pressure continuously shooting up but I didn't know that this was because you were doing military training on top of the karate lessons you did. Don't you think it's high time you took better care of your health considering your age!
Shut up! You ungrateful child of mine! I can guarantee you that I am way stronger than you putting aside the aspect of numbers.
Okay! Dad, you win but really I was in the middle of something before I was interrupted by you! Do you mind sharing what this is all about?
Mmmmm! I have been thinking lately, Drill. You are 30 years of age, but you still got nothing useful in life not even in the slightest.
Are you serious right now! I have a multi national company, I have my own home from my sweat, my parents and finally Joe,my baby what else would I want. If you ask me I would say I am so content with my life .
I now see what all my friends always warned me about .I must say I regret my decision already.
Dad, I can assure you there is nothing to worry about.
Before I could even finish with what I was saying I was given a beating with a sandal on my legs .
"What is this all about? "I asked.
You have a dog that is male and all those other small basic necessities of life and now you assume you have everything, how about making me a grand father perhaps, how about that?
Ohhhh! this is your problem! well I already planned my life, no worries, I will adopt some children to keep our lineage growing by that I mean from all continents just to ensure that we are largely established.
This is your problem! You are also seeing children as a way of investment , when will you ever understand that not every thing in life is meant to bring expected returns?
Dad! Where is mum?
Why! I am assuming you are tired of listening to me now that's why you want to talk to her.
It's not like I am interested in seeing her. It's just that I wan to give her a piece of my mind because all these words you mentioned, don't seem to be from your mouth but from hers so better to hear it from the horse's mouth.
"Finally! I can breathe, I tell you child this conversation is one of the fewest conversations that scare me but since this is sorted, then I will happily tell you that she is in the study reading her office romance novels .
Ahh! she ensures to mimick the ambience of the genre, I must say she is an A top list reader who knows where to invest her feelings.
As I am heading towards the study , I am held on the mouth and nose by large hands from behind which I assume are for a male and pulled into one of the guests bedroom which makes my heart beat wildly and so loudly hence struggling to break free from a stranger.
At this point in my life I do know I have been played by both parents.
After too much struggle, I am released and once again shocked by the outburst of laughs in the room. I just can't believe this unbelievable couple. And guess what ,that is when I see my lovely mother in her beautiful dress all decked up in golden jewelry clapping. I am stunned, disappointed and speechless.
What is all this! I ask?
My mother gladly answers. " Girl I was just giving you the feel of having someone else having your back and handling all your tantrums, so how did that feel baby?
Mom, what you did was life threatening, and not in any way romantic.
Baby! Look at the bright side! The Kidnapper
Is something you will never meet in your life . Just take a close view and you will see what you are missing.
I couldn't believe this, my parents tried to set me up with a random guy who is so hot and fine as hell so they could make me see what I miss but also embarrassed me at the same time. Wow, if you are a child I know you understand what I feel.
Mom and Dad! I am not interested so please let the single woman in me breathe and with that I turn and leave
