Confessions

NB:The undelined texts in the conversations are Roland's...

We held hands and prayed for about an hour before Greg rounded up the prayer.
"Don't worry, everything is well, just believe that they would be caught and keep declaring it, we would hear the news soon...yes please, thank you so much Greg and I'm sorry about the gunshot wound you sustained...it's alright, what matters is we're all alive...yes, I guess you both must be feeling hungry, let me fix us something to eat" I chipped in, I went to the kitchen to prepare rice so that we could eat it with the stew I already had in the fridge.

"Can I help with anything?" I turned to see Greg standing in the doorway
"no please, I have stew already so I'd just prepare the rice...okay I can rinse the rice for you at least...more like you can hold my hands to cook...hahaha, I'm sorry, I just want to help even though I know you're capable of handling everything by yourself...I know, don't mind me, you can keep me company while I cook, if that's okay...I'd love that, a confession?...mmhm...I really like spending time with you but I think sometimes I go overboard like today_if I'm crossing any boundaries you'd let me know right?...yes I would but I don't think that would happen because I enjoy your conpany too, maybe even more than I should...haha that makes 2 of us then...yeah".

The rice was ready, I warmed the stew and dished the food. Greg helped me set up the dinning table. I caught him off guard checking the affected area of the gunshot. "Is everything okay?...ah_yes...how's your shoulder?...it's better, thank you...let me see...it's fine really...now I know it's not...it's just a bit strained that's all...there's blood on the bandage, I need to change it for you, probably the wound opened up...don't worry, I will change it when I get home...no please, right after eating I'd stitch it up again and I'm not taking 'no' for an answer...I wouldn't argue with her if I were you because she would win". Roland came out of the room and sat on my left hand side while Greg sat on my right as I sat at the head of the table. "I know right, I'm slowly beginning to learn that...and Roland, don't think you're getting off the hook easily; for not confiding in me, you are grounded for a week...a whole week?...yes, want a double dose of that?...no ma'am...good, so you would rest, not work throughout the week and if you need to go anywhere, it must be really important...yes ma'am...good and oh I would drive you there, you're not going anywhere on your own...Greg won't you help me out?...I'm sorry man, when she assumes her motherly position, there's nothing I can do, you warned me yourself just now, remember?...yes, I guess I have to deal with it...I'm right here guys🙄...we're sorry...can we pray and eat now?...yes ma'am" they both chorused.

After eating, I got my equipments, sat Greg down and stitched him, the wound opened up again. I told him not to do anything strenous for at least a week and he agreed, hesistantly, of course. It was almost 8:00pm when he left for his parents' house to pick up J.J, I retired to my room early after making sure Roland had taken his drugs and was asleep.

"Hi beautiful..." I received a text from Greg.

"Hello, are you home?"

"Yes, at my parent's house"

"Okay...I guess you'd spend the night there"

"Yes please, immediately my mum saw the bandage, she forced me to stay"

"Aww😊 I'm sure she wants to take care of you"

"Yes against my wish, I just stayed to put her mind at ease"

"That's good, today has been a long day, you should get some rest"

"Yes ma'am...the way you switch to mummy mode is amazing"

"😂😂😂 I'm sorry, I'm just looking out for you"

"I love it, thank you"

"I want to thank you once again for arriving just in time and taking the bullet for me"

"Hmm...you're welcome"

"Alright have a goodnight and sound sleep"

"You too love♥️♥️♥️"

Are my eyes deceiving me? Did he just call me love with emojis? yesterday and today have officially become my most memorable days.

GREG'S POV;

"Greg...yes mum, good morning...morning son, how are you feeling today?...I'm okay mum, thank you...I want to discuss something with you...okay, what is it please?...It's about your friend, Vivian...okay?"
I knew where this conversation was headed and there was no way to avoid it.

"I think she would make a good wife...mummy!!...why?...isn't it too early to be having this kind of conversation? You won't even ask if I'm interested in her or like her in that way...you? the question should be whether she likes you in return or not because there's no doubt as to how you feel about her...wow...I'm I telling lies?...hmm, no you're not...so why are you holding back? I mean you took a bullet for her, that's not something you would do for just anyone...It's not a big deal mum, I would have done same for you...exactly because you love me, so it's safe to say you love Vivian...huh🤦‍♂️alright I do, I just don't want to rush things with her...how? Jayden adores her and I know she would be a good mother to him, you know I can't act as his mum forever...I know that mum...good, so act fast before someone else beats you to it...yes mummy...I would love to see her sometime, I know we meet in church sometimes but that's not the place to have such conversations...okay...make sure you let her know...I will...I think I should inform Jayden as well, so that in case you don't, he will...really?🤦‍♂️...yes, anyway I made breakfast, you should freshen up and come eat...yes please, thank you"

I got ready and went to get food, something caught my attention on t.v though...

What do you think Greg saw on t.v.?
