New Journey

Chapter 29

Zabdiel's P.O.V

Joel let out a sigh as he sat down on the passenger seat, I looked over my shoulder and looked at Cyrus belt up.

I turned back around and turned the car to ignition, I reserved out of the driveway and started to drive.

"What's up Joelito?"

Joel let out another sigh as he turned the radio on a low volume. "It's Amal's cousin, the elf."

"Her name is elf? I thought it was Kat."I said as I came to a stop due to a red light. "What did she do now?"

"Well her name is Kat but I find her so erm.. Can't find the right word right now but I just can't."Joel replied as he looked at me. "Like on the first day, she started on my body and made me feel so uncomfortable."

I let out a soft chuckle and started to drive again. "Why don't you just talk to Amal about it? I'm sure she'll understand."

"She appears there too!"Joel exclaimed as he threw his hands in the air. "She's attached to Chris's hip these days."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Don't tell Amal or anyone but the other day I saw her come out of Chris's room."Joel replied. "There's something going on between them."

"Let me guess you wanna investigate?"I suggested as I raised my eyebrow.

"Something I want to do but I need a partner in crime don't I?"Joel said as he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Yeah, ask Erick he'll do it with you."

Joel let out a groan. "Seriously? He's on crutches and he'll fall asleep."

"Well I can't do it with you, I only just got on good terms with Amal and I do t want to ruin that."I said as I let out a sigh. "Things have been hard and for once something is going okay."

"Can't you sense it that she's a little iffy?"Joel said as he let out a sigh. "Don't tell me you can't see it.

"Yeah she is, the way she turned out of the blue and everything but I don't know."

"Amal doesn't need to know at all."Joel said with a pleading look. "Just between us two."

"Fine."

Joel smiled then he looked at me. "Thank you."

"Anytime."

I drove to the apartment then I got Cyrus out and walked up to the apartment.

Joel opened the door, I walked in holding Cyrus car seat and Anouk ran over to us. "Is that my handsome nephew?"She said as she peeked in the car seat.

"He's sleeping."I said as I looked at her.

"No he isn't."She spoke in a baby voice as she unbelted him from his car seat and picked him up. "He's wide awake!"

I put the car seat down and walked over to the kitchen, I opened the fridge and pulled out a can of coke.

"See you two sorted it out didn't you?"Richard said as he stood behind me.

I turned around and looked at him. "Yeah we did, it's just a trial today."

Richard nodded. "I knew it was going to work out for you both."

"Not the way I want it to but if I get to see Cyrus, it's okay."

I looked at him, he was wearing a pair of black boxers and a White tshirt. "Aren't you supposed to be meeting with your brother?"

"Well he cancelled and Aliayah is coming over a little later."Richard said with a shrug. "So I just wanna lazy around for a little bit."

I rolled my eyes at him, Anouk walked over to us holding Cyrus in her arms. "He's gone so big."

"He's four months now."I said as I looked at Cyrus.

Anouk looked at him then looked up at me. "Joel told me about Amal's cousin, she never mentioned her to me though."

"She's okay but him and her for some weird reason don't get along."I said with a shrug.

"They probably like each other but are in denial over the fact that they do."Richard suggested as he looked at Cyrus poking his cheeks.

"Joel isn't like that."Anouk defended Joel. "He'll go all shy but he be upfront on his feelings unlike Erick who would do that."

"Where is Joel?"

"Bathroom."Anouk replied as she stroked Cyrus's left cheek. "Gosh, he's so cute though."

"Let me hold him Anouk."Richard said as he brought his arms out to hold him.

Anouk handed him to Richard then Richard walked to the living room with him.

Anouk looked at me and smiled. "You two are okay aren't you?"

"Yes we are."

"Hopefully we will be hearing wedding bells soon."Anouk said as she wiggled her eyebrows. "Me being the maid of honour of course."

"How could you not be?"I said with a soft chuckle.

"I've got high hopes for you both."Anouk said as she looked at me. "You are going to be."

-

"You actually look good in my coat."I said as I looked at Amal, her hair flowing in the wind of the direction her eyes glowing.

"Thank you."

She looked at me and smiled. "He's going to be okay won't he?"

"He'll be fine with me."

She hugged me then pulled away from the hug. "Make sure you give him a kiss from me." Then she went into the taxi.

I waved her off as the taxi went then I went back to the apartment thinking about how to get Amal back.
