PRES & ZIZO

" What's with the tension sis?"

My brother came outside to the pool bar and sat with me. Luckily we were having a sunny rain free Christmas and the kids were enjoying themselves in the pool. The joys of living in the southern hemisphere. When the first person walked into our home, the discussion over the gift was halted but I eventually found her colleagues address and sent it back to her. Making sure she knew that I did not appreciate her sending such to my wife and she should never do it again. I explained this to my brother.

" I understand being jealous but you could have sold that bracelet and made some money off of it."

" Really?!"

" Yeah but honestly I think you're making a big deal out of it, it's just a gift. Sure it's expensive and that woman is probably trying to get into your ladies pants but the Zizo I know would never let that happen. She's a woman who respects herself and you."

" That's not the issue, the issue is that she's accepting these gifts and doesn't see anything wrong with it."

" You know what I've I learnt in life when it comes to relationships and marriage, it's like a math equation. You do on the right hand side what you would do on the left hand side or whatever mister Bullocks said in high school. Anyway if you don't want her receiving gifts then don't receive gifts either."

" Those are my fans and have no ill intentions towards me or my wife, our situations are totally different."

" Those same fans who send nudes and lingerie have no ill intentions. You're being a hypocrite and I don't blame your wife for being mad at you."

The rest of the family came outside and sat around the pool. My sister in law came up to my brother but Zizo ignored my existence causing her mother to watch us.  I walked over to them since my brother was occupied with his wife.

" Can I talk to you?"

I whispered into her ear and smiled at our parents both now watching us.

" Not now I'm-"

" It will only take a few minutes."

She excused herself to my second sister in law who eyed us suspiciously.

" What is it, you know I have no interest in having a conversation with you."

" I just wanted us to interact, our parents have been watching us and I think they suspect something."

" Let them, I don't care and you shouldn't either since you feel you were justified in doing what you did."

" You really wanted her gift I see."

" I didn't want her gift_ you know what my feet hurt and I'm not going to stand here arguing over a stupid gift with you."

She turned around to walk away, I tried to grab her but she swerved forgetting that we stood by the pool, she tripped on her own feet and went tumbling into the pool. She would not stop screaming and I could not move. I was frozen in place but could see everyone rushing to help her but in slow motion. A slap from my mom woke me up.

" What the hell is wrong with you?! How could you push your very pregnant wife into the pool?"

" She didn't push me I tripped."

She spoke behind my mother. I looked up to see my sister in law and her mother dry her with towels then walk into the house with her. My father looked at me and shook his head but her father looked angry but said nothing, just walked away. All I wanted was to make things better but I seemed to make it worse. I ruined Christmas Day  all because I was jealous, I felt like shit.
