The Contract Bride

chapter 8

I got to the hospital only to find mum crying close to dad, I can believe dad died without giving me a final word
"mum you  need to stop crying "
"why should I "
"because he's not coming back "
I kept rubbing her back to console her I had bigger problems here rather than crying I had problems on hand. We saw as they covered dad up and took him away What a pity.
"come on mum lets take you home "
"I think I wanna stay at your place tonight "
"what " no way when I had Jess there I don't want her thinking about another thing like Jess and I already fallen in love and other crap like that
"I mean my place is not the best place to stay after what just happened come on I'll take you to aunt gloria's place you could stay there for the main time "
"okay "
"good " I lifted her up as we headed to the car and I drove her to aunt gloria's house.
*****
On getting home Jess was watching a soap opera
"hey"
"hey"i said as I sat on the chair releasing a very tired breath
"mind telling me why you stormed out of the house Like that "
"my dad just passed away "
She looked a little surprise as she got up and walked towards Me sitting at the arm of the chair
"am so sorry "
"yeah it's really sad how we didn't really get along before he died "
"well you can always cope with that "
"yeah ,what did you make for dinner "
She kept quiet as I remembered that she could not cook
"I just remembered, well since it's this way am stucked with making the dinner ,I'll make broccoli "I said as I headed for the kitchen.

We finished eating dinner and then we sat at the sitting room watching a Programme I couldn't stop staring at Jessica and those her Beautiful smile she looked so happy like nothing was wrong with her life if only she knew what was about to happen
"if looks could kill I'll be dead by now "
She said as she Faced me
"am I that beautiful "
"maybe, maybe that's why I can't get my eyes of you "she smiled as she rushed over to my side "tell me about yourself everything you've been through I wanna know "
"why "
She just shrugged and answered "so we could know our selfs better "
"okay,but promise me your not gonna fall asleep while am telling you this okay "
"okay" I started talking about myself right from kindergarten to highschool to college ,about dad, mum, my half brother, my sister Diana our happy family but I excluded talking about empire industry, before I knew it she put her head on my shoulders and slept off, she was so cute while asleep where could such a beauty have come from I wondered.
