Chapter 86 86
Vanessa's POV
"Why are you staring at me like that! It's creepy." Jason threw my pillow on my face.
"Ouch!" I laughed, removing the pillow from my body. "I can't believe you're here" I smiled at him.
"It's not like I want to be here.."
"Then get out of my house!" I pointed at my room door.
I was really surprised when someone knocked on my door last night. That someone made me more happy when he turned out to be my half. Yes! My twin brother y'all!.
Apparently, he doesn't want to pay for a hotel and decided to come crash at his sister's place. He came to handle surgery over here and will be here for just 2 days. I really missed him and can't get over the nostalgia.
"Sorry, I can't" He laughed. "You have me from now till 4pm. I'm on a night shift and I have a special patient to attend to by that time" He yawned, stretching his body.
"Yeah, I refused to bombard you with questions last night because you looked tired so I'll let you brush your teeth and tell me all about your marriage experience." I said, getting up from the bed to get him a spare brush.
"My marriage experience? I bet you have much more spicy things to spill to me. About Mr. Billionaire" Jason winked
"You lost the bet then" I shrugged. "The toothpaste is in there. Hurry up"
"Lost the bet? What do you mean?"
"You're so slow at getting something." I groaned. "Do not wet the ground! If you wet the ground, ensure to clean it with the mop okay?"
"You still do this?" Jason rolled his eyes
"You stink. You should shower at once!" I said, closing my nostrils
"And what about you?" He frowned
"Baby brother, this is 12pm and I've been awake since 7am. Does this look like the cloth you met me with yesterday?" I smirked at him
"Whatever!" He waved me off, entering the bathroom.
"I always win" I said, smiling to myself.
"Bitch I've been calling you" Becca yelled, barging into my house.
"Why.. wait, I didn't lock that door?" I looked at my door.
"Do you ever lock the door? You act like someone without an enemy" Becca rolled her eyes.
"Why are you dressed like this?" I eyed her very casual look
"Oh I'm going shopping for our sleepover tonight" She shrugged. "When you didn't pick up my call, I decided to make a stop here before going to the mall"
"What sleepover? Who agreed to such?" I folded my arm
"It's not up for debate. Richard will be there anyway" she smiled
"Is that supposed to make me excited?" I raised my eyebrow at her
"No. But please come for me. Pleaseeee" She begged
"I don't like this" I shook my head
"I know! And you're going to get angry when you see the other guests but I promise it's for experiment and Matthew wants to observe something."
"So the one time I come over to your place for a sleepover, it turns out to be an experimental sleepover?" I groaned. "Do you really have my best interest at heart?"
"I'm so sorry. You know I want the best for you my love and I know this whole thing with Richard is eating you alive and I miss the bubbly you. You are still bubbly but not so bubbly. If you get what I mean" She held my hands.
"I hope you guys have everything under control because I really have been trying not to be a killer and I would never forgive you guys, if I'm being tagged as one." I sighed
"Thank youuuuuu. I'll pick you up by 4pm. Don't carry anything, I got our outfits planned out" She smirked
"I don't like the sound of that" I laughed
"But you'll like the result" She winked. "I gotta go"
"Becca?" I called, stopping her from leaving
"Yeah?"
"Is the guest Paula?" I asked
"Pau... Paula?" She laughed nervously. "Who is Paula?" She said running out of the house. "See you by 4!"
"Is that Rebecca?" Jason said, startling me.
"Jesus!" I turned to face him.
I'm so used to being alone
"What? Did I startle you?"
"You sure as hell did. Yes that's Rebecca" I groaned, opening the fridge to check for anything to eat.
"You guys haven't broken up?" Jason chuckled
"Like that's possible." I groaned. No, I'm not wishing for such. She's like a blood sister to me.
"Whatever" He said. "So why was she here?"
"To drag me down to a sleepover" I groaned picking up my phone so I could order us something to eat. I had nothing in my fridge.
"That sounds interesting." Jason fell on the couch, crossing his leg. He picked up his phone from the table and began to tap away.
"Like hell it does" I said, sarcastically. "The food will be here in 10 minutes" I smiled
"Is there anytime you have cooked food in your house?" Jason said, shaking his head
"Excuse you? I ate my last cooked food yesterday and if you don't believe me then go check the garbage bin over there!" I pointed at the spot where I keep my garbage bin.
"Chill woman" He laughed nervously.
"How's Silver?" I sat down on the couch, picking up my remote.
"She's getting better" He said.
"What do you mean by getting better?" I pressed on
"She had a miscarriage." He said slowly, dropping his phone on his lap
"A miscarriage?" I said, tears were now beginning to pool at my eyes
"That's why I didn't want to tell you. Please don't cry" Jason groaned frustratedly.
"Why didn't you tell me?!"
"Cos I didn't want you to cry" He said
"How's she now?"
"She's getting better" He answered
"How did it happen?"
"We had no idea honestly. We were reckless and only got to find out she was pregnant after she lost the baby." He said smiling sadly.
"I'm so sorry" I immediately moved to his side of the chair, engulfing him in a bear hug. "How does it feel?"
"It feels so sad. It feels sad to know that you weren't given a chance to be a father. It feels so heartbreaking knowing you lost someone even before you met that someone. It's more heartbreaking when it's your blood." He said, sniffing.
Maybe this is what Richard was feeling too. Damn, I shouldn't have given him such hard time.
"It's fine. I'm sure another one will come, okay? Maybe that one would've been like you" I teased
"Is that a bad thing?" He eyed me
"It's a terrible thing" I said, laughing.
"I hate you" He said, laughing as well. "I'll go get the door. Heard from your parents?" Jason said, opening the door to take a package from the delivery guy.
"Yeah, they call once in a week. I wonder who gave them such advice. We sound cordial as hell" I laughed. I doubt those calls last up to 5 minutes.
"I thought I was the only one that noticed that they were trying to call once in a week" Jason laughed, shutting the door.
"Anyway, that's their business." I shrugged, opening my pack of food. "Easy!" I said to Jason who was already munching on his own pack.
"It's afternoon already. What do you mean by easy" He rolled his eyes at me, still munching on his food.
"It's almost 4 anyway. I should eat fast before Becca comes to drag my ass to that hell of a sleepover" I groaned, stuffing a handful of chips into my mouth.
"Don't be pessimistic" Jason scolded.
"You can just feel when something is going to piss you off, brother. You really can"
"Oh well." Jason shrugged, sipping his juice.
I looked at my time and it was 3 o'clock. That means I have an hour more.
Urghhh!
