Chapter 55 55
Vanessa's Pov
"Will Matt be coming too?" I asked Richard who was busy on his phone.
"I don't talk to people on sleeping mask" He replied
"Your loss" I yawned.
I was really tired. My stupid Twin called me and told me to better come over early so we could spend few hours together before he becomes a married man. That made us wake up by 6:00AM.
We made a stop at a gift shop to pick up the gift we made payments for last week. I really love the way they packaged the gift and I know they'd love it. I got them a big washing machine. It's so big, I thought they wouldn't be able to wrap it.
I know you're wondering what Richard got. Well, he won this gift thing. He paid an electronic company to supply them with certain home appliances. Show off!
"You can lay on my leg. We still have One hour more before we get to his house" Richard announced
"Still one hour?" I grumbled
"Don't be such a baby" He chuckled
"Why are you so full of life this morning" I raised my mask up to look at him
"I'm a man" He winked at me
"Nonsense!" I rolled my eyes and then pulled my mask down again
"You should sleep because I doubt you'll be sleeping when you get to your brothers place" He said
And he was correct!
"Good idea" I picked a pillow I packed for this journey and placed it on his lap then I laid down on it. "Comfy"
"I'll wake you up when we get there" He pecked my hair and straightened the hem of my shirt. "Turn on the AC and close the windows" He instructed our chauffeur for today. A new face.
This guy changes driver almost every month.
"Yes sir"
"You didn't have to" I murmured
"You want the natural breeze?" He asked
"I'm fine this way" I smiled
"Good" He said, returning his attention to his phone.
I began to slowly drift off. I was so so tired and so it didn't take much time before i slept off.
"If it was my house, I'd carry you straight to my room to let you sleep but I don't think they want to receive a sleeping sister right now" Richard said, tapping me
"We're there?" I yawned. "Ahh too bright!" I squinted my eyes at the light coming from the sky. The day was just to bright. After my eyes had gotten adjusted to the light, I opened them properly.
"You've been in darkness. Welcome to light. Your brother is patiently waiting at the door step for you though" He said, making me turn towards the doorstep
I nodded, getting out of the car. I huffed, groaned and tried arranging my hair.
"You ready?" Richard asked me
"How do you look so hot this morning!" I whined, hugging his forearm and leading him to where my brother was standing
"You don't look bad yourself"
"You look like shit. Your face is so squeezed" Jason said, immediately we got closer. I glared at Richard as to say 'liar'.
"Hello to you to Pre-Married man" I glared at my brother
"I never believed I'd get married before you" He mocked. "Hey man!" He shook Richard. "Thanks for saving my sister from coming to my wedding as a single lady"
"The nerves!" I frowned. "Who's in?"
"Your sister's family. My wife will be spending last time with her family so she's not home currently but she'll come back for dinner." He said, taking our boxes from Richard's Chauffeur
"Last time with her family? Are you planning on caging the poor girl?" I laughed, heading inside
"If it's possible" He said, dragging the boxes.
"What about your parents?" I asked, pulling my boyfriend so close to me.
"I don't know where Autumn parents are but Auntie Shirley is in a hotel around here." Jason said.
"Autumns parents? Really? I'm sorry for being the womb opener" Autumn said sarcastically.
"Hi sis" I smiled, picking Joana up from her
"As it should be" She hurriedly hands over the baby to me.
Eager much?
"This is my boyfriend" I introduced to everyone.
"Oh my goodness! I can't believe I am living to see this day. Such cute young man!" She squealed, hugging Richard. "You're the one who got my kid sisters pant twisted, ai?" She smirked at him
"That's what you told her?" Richard asked me
"You know me" I said, pecking Joana
"Edward, come look at this fine young man. Wonder what he has packed under his sleeves" Autumn said
"Are you sure it's only under the sleeves? How about the briefs" Jason frowned, earning a laugh from Richard
"Bare with my family" I whispered to him and sat down on the couch
"And who's the young man that's in a competition with me?" Edward said, coming out of wherever
"Hi. I'm Richard Blackwood" Richard introduced
"Are you a bouncer?" Edward asked, skeptically.
"No, I'm -"
"He's my boyfriend, Edward. Lay off!" I yelled
"Oh hi there, in-law. How do you handle this kind of package. You sure are a wild one" He laughed. "Richard Blackwood. I know that name. It deals with a gadget. I'm Edward Kingston. I'm married to that chipmunk"
"Chipmunk? The mother of your child a chipmunk?!" Autumn snarled
"See?" Edward said, laughing. He pulled Richard to the kitchen. "The girls are usually too much. Come have beer"
"I hope you're more than 22" Jason asked
"Very funny" I said, dryly.
"In dick size?" Richard asked cockily
"Oh my goodness!" I shook my head. "Don't listen to adults, Jo. They'll corrupt you" I said to Joana
"I like this guy" Edward announced. "Meanwhile that's my first fruit, Joana" He said proudly
"I'd take turn after Vanessa" Richard winked at me
"Thank goodness! I'm off mother duty today. Beware though, she's a bit troublesome these days." Autumn said. "Can someone cook or order?"
"I'm out!" Edward yelled
"I'd ask Richard to cook but he's a guest. It's too early" I said, dropping Joana on her mat. "Ou she's crawling now!" I squealed
"She also stands for a while" Autumn added
"I can cook if you want?" Richard offered
"They don't do good for these people" Edward told him. "Do it once and you're doing it everywhere and everyday."
"Oh please don't corrupt my man. Some of us are not all round perfect when it comes to cooking and are dependent on him. Some of us... is me" I said
"I knew this would happen. I ordered from a restaurant. They'll be here in few minutes time." Jason said, checking his phone. "I am the one getting married, I should use today to get fat so that my suit can fit."
"Or get slim?" Autumn suggested
"Why would I get slim?"
"Because you want to fit in and look hot and slay. I mean, for ladies to fit, we have to be thin" Autumn said
"That's a decision you make when getting the dress. If your gown is free, you need to add and if it's smaller or tight, you need to reduce before the day. Where do you fall under, Jason?" Richard asked
"I really don't know" He laughed. "But I am off duty today"
"Hey kids!" I heard my grandma's voice. "Ou! Joana is standing now?" She yelled, rushing to carry her up
"How's the wedding boy feeling? Wanna run away?" Dad teased
"Stop that!" Mum warned.
"Who do we have here? Your best man?" Dad asked, accessing Richard
"Oh no." I walked to meet Richard, intertwining my fingers in his. "Meet my boyfriend, Ri-"
"Boy what?!" Mum asked, astonished
"Boyfriend, she said" Dad repeated. "What's the name?" Dad asked Richard
"Richard Blackwood" Richard said.
"Oh I've worked with your father. He's manageable" Dad shrugged, shaking him
"I bet you have" Richard chuckled, shaking him firmly.
"When did this happen?" Mum asked
"Recently" We said in unison
"It doesn't matter mum. Lay off" Autumn said
"Hey, I mean no harm. I'm just a curious mother" Mum said in her defense earning a snicker from Jason. "What?"
"Since when?" He asked
"What do you mean?!"
"Okay, enough guys. We are going to drink and hang out today. I hope your child can handle alcohol, Autumn" Dad smirked
"Did I hear Alcohol? I'm so in!" I heard Rebecca's voice and turned to the direction of the voice.
"Oh shit!" I squealed.
"Hi bitchhhhh!!!" She yelled. "I brought a lot of booze and weed"
"Weed?" Dad said
"Gotcha!" Rebecca yelled, laughing
"Stupid child" He rolled his eyes
"I missed you" She ran to hug the reluctant man.
"You're here" I said to Matthew, hugging him lightly
"Another hot piece!" Autumn yelled earning a glare from Edward
Jealous much?
"Hi, I'm Matthew" Matthew waved.
"Hi man. You didn't tell me you were invited" Richard smirked
"I wanted to surprise you" Matthew shook him
"That's your boyfriend too?" Mum asked
"Who else brought their boyfriend?" Rebecca asked
"Your best friend" Mum replied
"Touché." Rebecca laughed. "Where's the bride? Sucking on her last dick? Cos she'll be stuck on one dick forever"
"Someone better hold that girl" Jason sneered, pursuing Rebecca who was hiding at my father's back.
"I refuse to be in the middle of this" My dad yelled
"It's going to be a long night" I laughed, hugging Richard who was shaking with laughter
At least, he was having a good time
