FATE

39 - BROTHERLY ADVICE.

I hiss when my feet hit the front door of my house. what's with me and hitting my feet on the door.

What I did was for the best.

How????

I've been trying to console my self with the fact that I did what I had to do for my family and friends.

I'm about to climb the stairs when I notice that light was coming from Jason's office and the door was slightly open, so I made way to the door and gave a soft knock.

He didn't answer because he's busy, so I guess.

"Coming through." I announce and walk in.

I didn't even wait for further instruction, I just made myself comfortable and sank into the swivel chair.

"So why are you still up? It's past ten."

See pot calling the kettle black .

My brother who was arranging some files into his shelf just turned back, dropping the files to the table.

"What! I'm working. You're the one who shouldn't be out side by this time of the night."

Then he stopped and stared at me in disbelief.

"Where did you go dressed like this?" He uttered in shock.

I looked down at myself and there was  absolutely nothing wrong about my dressing. Just a black strapless gown, that had a low back and decent slit at the front.

"Oh, enough with the acting." He sat down by the edge of the table and I was really hoping that table wouldn't crash.

"I know you went on a date."

I just smiled.

"Obviously." I rolled my eyes.

"So who's the lucky guy?" He teased with a smirk.

I didn't answer anything, Jason is smart so he'll figure it out.

"Wait, that one at your graduation right? Because I know it's "

"Uhmm." I answered.

"As if I knew that something fishy is going on." He teased me by moving his brows.

He and Mabel eh.

"We were not dating yet. It was just..."

I was thinking of the perfect word.

"Love at first sight." He gave me a daring look smiled.

"Jason I don't even know what is wrong with me."

"What is wrong with you?" He sits up and looks at me with interest.

"I, I just. I broke up with Lemuel." I dropped my hand to my lap.

"What? Why would you even do that?" He gives me a confused look.

"Because everyone has been claimingthat I'm too busy. Even Mabel says I'm hardly at home. My friends think that I don't have time for them. Jason you know I've always had a busy life." I explained.

He started laughing, uncontrollably and I just covered my face with my hands in shame.

"Yes Lilly, cover yoir face in shame." He laughed even harder.

Was this a joke to him?

"Jason," I warned, my hands still hovering over my face.

"Okay sorry." He calmed down ,But there was still a hint of amusement on his face.
