Give Me Another Chance

Chapter 2(four years later)

I look at Kosi and say, "The only thing that makes what I'm about to face slightly unbearable is the fact that you're coming with me." She smiles a bit, "I didn't have much of a choice, plus I have an opportunity to finally get my mini company."

"That building is anything but mini love."

She smirks, "I'm trying to be modest." I roll my eyes, and we get into our first-class tickets courtesy of my parents after they ordered me to come back home saying I've been away from home for years.

I wonder why

The moment our airplane lands, my heart starts beating, and I guess it must have been obvious because Kosi held my hand. "It's going to be alright," she says. I give her hand a little squeeze then I start perusing people's faces trying to find Nico. He did offer to pick me up even though who could've told a driver. It doesn't take me long to locate a 6'4 man who stepped in whilst wearing a suit. Immediately, Kosi says, "Jesus." "What?" I ask. She swallows, "That is your brother? The pictures didn't do him enough justice." I roll my eyes, "I guess he's okay looking." She laughs, "Okay looking? Babe you look like him, and you're definitely not okay looking meaning he's hot." I scoff, "You never emphasize much on a guy's looks." She hisses, "I'm a virgin, not blind." My brother finally looks up from his phone and smiles slightly, and I run into his arms, "Welcome back Li li." Kosi chuckles at the name, and my brother drops me down to look at her, "Hi... you must be Kosi." I sigh in relief because he pronounced it correctly. I spent a few minutes making sure my brothers knew how to pronounce her name correctly.

Her eyes widen a bit, and she gives a slight smile, "hey Nicolas. It's nice to finally meet you." My brother gives a side smile, "you too. It's a pity my mannerless sister didn't bring you earlier to come see us." I am baffled at the fact that Nico didn't frown or tell her you can call me Nico. I don't blame him though, Kosi is gorgeous. "Well, it is a relief to me. You all would've seen teenage me." They both continue looking at each other until I clear my throat, "Can we go now?" Nico puts his phone in his pocket and with a little red on his cheeks he says yes, while Kosi whispers, "Thank God for melanin." Nico and I talk throughout the ride while Kosi listens or talks a bit.

When we reach home, Kosi says, "This place is really beautiful." Once we drive into our compound, I swallow, remembering how my grandparents and parents ordered me to come back home. I hope that I won't see Alessandro, but luck won't be on my side for long, I'm sure. He purposefully avoided me after he tried to talk to me to apologize, but there was nothing to apologize for. He had already said his true thoughts. Was we walk into my home; I am swarmed with hugs from my family. I sigh in relief at the warm welcome. I know this is just excitement, and I'll be scolded. Kosi greets them, and my mum hugs her saying, "Thank you for being with our lili baby." Kosi smiles kindly, "She was also with me, so I thank you too for having such an amazing daughter."

Damn. I should've recorded that now, there's no evidence asides words of the mouth. Noel and Nozel finally come in front of me, and I look up and notice them trying to hide their smiles. We hug each other. When all the excitement has died down, I sigh at the thoughts of meeting my best friends and their brother.

After three hours, I decide to check in Kosi. I knock carefully, and I hear, "come in." I walk in and sit on her bed watching her work on whatever app or website she's creating. She removes her glasses and sets her laptop down. She says, "You're nervous about meeting your best friends and their piece of shit brother, right?"

I lay my back on the bed, "I feel so dumb. I am excited to see Amber and Alessia, but the thought of seeing Alessandro is messing with my brain." She tilts her head and says, "That doesn't make you dumb though. It has been a while since you've seen the piece of shit, and I know you're overthinking about why your parents asked you to come back home. You feel it's not just because they missed you." I nod. She comes to my side, "Well, we can never know until tonight. You did say that they will be coming over, and your grandparents as well. It is the day we find out."
