Chapter 3 3
Vanessa's POV
"Thank you, Ethan" I said shutting the car door.
I lied.
I didn't get home by 8. I got home by 9:30pm. But you can't blame me, things don't always go as planned. Good news is that I was able to finish Mrs Rosco's project and she liked it. Tomorrow evening we'll start getting everything in order. The wedding ceremony is in 5 days time so I think I still have time to make everything go right. We've also talked about the amount too and she was pleased with it
I looked at my phone to check if there's anyone that cares about me. No text, no call. Right.
I unlocked my door and dragged my lazy ass inside only to find my light on. Are you kidding me?
I put my hand inside my bag, in search of my pepper spray.
"Hi Shawty!"
"Ahhh!!!" I screamed, also looking around to see where the voice came from.
"Kitchen kid sis"
"Jason Michael Willow!" I said dangerously while storming to the kitchen.
"Surprise! Oh shit... Is that for me?" He pointed at the pepper spray
"Yeah early birthday present but it's for the eyes only. Wanna try it on?" I smirked, folding my arms
How did he even get inside here? I swear, I don't think I'm the owner of this house again. It's like I'm a tenant or something.
"Spare key. It was under your flower pot" He replied to my unasked question. I wonder if he now reads mind
"Nice one. How did you even know I had a spare key?!" It's as if everyone knows me. C'mon!
"Just guessed. It's not like you're any different from other girls shawty" he put off the gas and walked towards the cupboard to get two plates
"Is that Spaghetti and meatballs?" I smiled sheepishly ignoring how he just generalized me. A whole me!
"Yeah. For only me since I'm the guest"
"You're bluffing." I scoffed and positioned myself so I can be served like the princess I am
"How's work going, Manager" He positioned my food in front of me and I licked my lips. My brother is a good chef. I'd like to say more than me but nahhhh I'm wonderful in my own way
"Good good" I waved my hand to shut him up so I could just start eating already.
"And my hospital is doing great too. Oh and I came over to this city to help a friend with a patient. Yeah the patient survived. Couldn't stay in a motel when I have a sister staying around. And this food cost money too. My fiancee is also fine and -"
"WAIT!!!!!" I cut him off
"Oh look I got her attention" he smiled while sipping his juice
"You finally proposed to Silver??!!!" I smiled sheepishly
"Not like you care. Eat your goddamn food, glutton." He rolled his eyes and began to eat his food gently
"I'm sorryyyyy. I'm such a bad sister" I said, placing my palms on my chest while pouting. "How did all these happen, dear surgeon"
"Just three weeks ago. I would've called my twin to tell her but I decided to just wait till I see you in person. But now I see you in person and you're all over my food and not me" He frowned playfully.
Sometimes I wonder who the girl is amongst us. I swear he behaves like a girl. Maybe there was a mix in the genital organs or something.
"I'm happy for you Jay. Have you told your parents yet?" I said using the napkin to clean my mouth, standing up to clear the dishes.
"Yeah right. It's now only my parents. Haha! Well, I haven't told them yet. Can't remember the last time I spoke with them either" He shrugged
"How about we call for a dinner this Saturday. Sorry Sunday since I have an event to plan on Saturday. You know, a dinner with the whole family" I take his now empty plate and begin my wife duties. Told y'all I'm a lot of things.
"Yeah I was thinking about that. That'll be awesome. When is Autumn due?"
Autumn is our big sis. I remember telling y'all I have an elder sister. Yeah she just recently got married and she's expecting. She refused to check the gender because she wants it to be a surprise.
"In like two months I think?" I have a lot on my mind, you don't expect me to keep track of these things
"What a caring sister!" He laughed
"And bitch you're the surgeon here. Isn't she suppose to be in your care?" I cleaned my hand with a napkin and gave him a peck on the cheek before heading upstairs. I need to shower
"She's in another city! And Good night!" He yelled.
I put on my light and stripped myself off my working cloth. I walked straight to the bathroom and took a long bath under the shower. Very relaxing.
Ring Ring!!!
Seriously?! By this time?!
Is there really no peace for the wicked?? Am I the wicked??
Ring Ring!!!
"Vanessa Willow speaking" I closed my eyes and breathe out.
Clear skies... Like Tia pepa in Encanto would always say.
"Hi Nessa! I'm so happy to hear from you again. You couldn't even call to say hi. You don't wanna work for me or something?"
Ah! Devils pawn! Maybe it's initiation time. Mu ha ha ha
"Sorry David, this is 11 o'clock and definitely not a working hour. Please get back to us tomorrow morning by 8 AM. Thanks" I hung up
Binggg!
Unknown number: You're one stubborn one, Nessa. Get ready I'll be picking you up by 12pm tomorrow. I love purple
"I don't have time for this nonsense" i deleted the message and charged my phone
Besides, how did he even get my phone number? Because this is definitely not my business line. It really can't be the complimentary card too.
I tie my hair into a messy bun, set my alarm to 3AM. Yeah that's the time I'll be sleeping today. I have one design to cover up. I sit on my bed and put on my glasses.
"Milk for you, my lady" Jason strolled in with a glass of milk
"Thank you so much" I smiled at my twin
I miss being taken care of by a man.
"Try to sleep early." He patted my head before heading out
"I'll try" I mumbled and got to work.
Binggg
What's it this time?!!
Unknown number: I know you deliberately called me David to piss me off. It's Richy for you, sweetheart. Goodnight chipmunk
I'm in deep shit man!
