Chapter 53: Setting The Record Straight
“I know.” Fab said with a smile. He knew who Alex was referring to even though names were not mentioned.
“I just want her to be happy. I am content with that.
You should take your own advice too you know and not fall in love with her.” Fab said with a knowing smile.
“You don't stand a chance either.”
Alex kicked the back of Fab's chair.
“I am straight fool!” She said rolling her eyes.
“Are you sure? You seem to tick all the boxes.”Fab said not convinced.
“Have you ever seen me hit on a girl? What gave you the impression I swing that way?” Alex asked amused.
“Well for starters, I have only seen you around Golden and you are fiercely protective of her.
You look at her with a warm gaze and everytime you look at me, it's like you are planning to murder me.”
“So? I still don't see your point”
“You don't even know when a guy is hitting on you. Perhaps you are waiting for girl to hit on you before you get it”
“Do you have a crush on me Nerd?” Alex asked sweetly.
Fab shrudered when he saw Alex smile.
“Hell no. I will be damned if I have a crush on you. I still want to live a long life.”
“That's the wisest decision you can make. Good for you.” Alex smiled again.
“Besides if I was gay, he wouldn't stand a chance.”
Fab's mouth dropped open. Before he got himself and shut it.
Alex's confidence was over the top and somehow he believed her words.
Golden had been awake long enough to listen to their conversation.
Soon, she fell back asleep totally content with the blessing of true friendship.
By the time they got to the estate, Golden was still fast asleep and she looked very peaceful.
They didn't want to break the peace by waking her up and were contemplating on what to do when they saw Varney come out of the house.
He walked towards them. He was shocked to see Alex. She couldn't stay away after all, he thought to himself.
“What's up guys” Varney said as he got to them.
They moved out of the way and opened the car door.
Varney saw Golden asleep and figured that if they didn't want to wake her, then she must have had a tough day.
He quietly bent and carried his sister out of the car.
Golden sensing her brother, immediately wrapped her arms around his neck.
“V” she said still asleep.
“shhh! Go back to sleep Gigi” He said as he carried her into the house.
Alex followed with her bag and phone.
Varney dropped Golden on the bed and Alex went about making sure she was comfortable.
She removed her necklace and earrings. Then she removed her bracelet and knuckle ring.
She took out a face wipe from her bag and began helping Golden clean her face so she doesn't breakout by the time she wakes up.
Varney stood by the corner and watched Alex carefully attend to his sister and couldn't help but feel something.
By the time Alex was done and had covered Golden with her duvet. She made to stand when Golden grabbed her hand.
“I would have fallen in love with you too if you were gay.” Golden said still asleep.
“Shhh! Go back to sleep okay?” Alex smiled. She wondered how much of their conversation Golden had heard.
Varney chocked on his saliva and started coughing.
He was standing close by and heard what Golden had said.
Alex gave him a death glare and shushed him up.
After making sure that Golden was asleep, she dragged Varney out of the room.
Once outside, she turned to him
“We need to talk.”
“Wait for me in my study, I need to get a document from the car.” Varney turned around and went downstairs.
Once downstairs, he noticed Fab was still around. He ended his call when he saw him.
“How's she?” he asked referring to Golden.
“She would be fine once she wakes up. Varney responded.
“Well send my goodbyes to Alex then” Fab smirked before entering his car and driving off.
Back in the study Alex was on a call with her dad.
“Send me the tax returns to my mail and I would do it from here.
Yes I promise to get it done by tonight. I might have to sleep over too.
Snap the garden so I know you have kept your own end of the bargain.
Yes dad, I will be back early to join you to pick Nana up from the airport.
Love you too dad. And she would hear.”
Alex ended the call just as Varney entered the study.
“So what is it that you want to talk about?” Varney asked as he sat behind his desk.
Alex told him about what had happened at the mall and the beach.
She wasn't dramatic this time around as she recounted what had happened.
Varney listened intently and was moody when he heard all what Golden had gone through.
He then told Alex about the incident that happened the Christmas Golden turned 16.
“Six years ago, Golden was involved in a fatal crash that claimed the lives of our parents.
It happened on her birthday, 24th of December and our mum died trying to protect her.
Golden has hated her birthday and the whole Christmas holidays ever since.
Having you come into her life is the best thing that has happened in 6 years and I'm truly grateful.
I was hoping with you around this year would be different.
Maybe she would finally get the chance to rewrite Christmas.
So even if you are gay, although I'll be sad, I would happily give you my blessings to date my sister,
If that means she gets a shot at happiness. I would gladly accept.” Varney said seriously.
Alex was stunned by the time Varney finished speaking.
This was the third time today someone was saying she was gay.
She needed to put an end and prove her sexuality once and for all.
She stood and walked up to Varney. She collected the documents in his hands and dropped it on the table.
Then she spun his chair around. Adjusted it a little so that it leaned back.
She climbed unto his lap. Grabbed his face and slowly began kissing him.
She grabbed his hands and put on her breasts so he could feel how aroused she was from the kiss.
She stopped before things got too far.
“Now do you still think I am gay?” She asked looking into his eyes.
Then she climbed off him and left the study.
