Youth's POV
I and Susan finally worked things out, though not totally, I still had three days to prove to be on my best behaviour ,
I don't know what it is about her that made me want to please her so desperately,
I was drawn to her in every way,
From the the way she arcs her left eyebrow when thoughtful, to the way she struggles to keep her brunette hair out of her face or the cold chills that runs down my spine each time she laughs or smiles.
I'm lying on my bed tired,
Work was a bit stressful today but it did end well,
At least I now had a good working relationship with Susan, I'm not so confident yet, but its a start.
She had tried to pay for our meal even after I promised to pay , we argued for a while before she finally gave in, I've never seen any woman so stubborn ,
She had called my phone an extravagant show off , she was so devil mouthed ,
It made me smile,
I should probably change my iPhone x to a smaller and less expensive phone, I bet It would make her happy,
Right now i'm smiling like a high school boy and the feeling is amazing ,
My phone rings, I look at the caller
Isabella
I thought she'd never call, she was getting married on the 19th of march, next month and she didn't think of personally calling her only brother who might probably sponsor the wedding.
"Issie" I say as soon as I pick, I'm the only one who calls her issie , everyone else either Called her Bella , or Ella
"Youthie!" She teased excitedly , she knew I hated that nick,
"Hey don't you call me that" I jokingly warn
And she laughs
"I'm sorry I haven't called ever since you left Ohio, I've been pretty busy, making wedding plans , I should have personally told you about my wedding but I knew you would freak out that's why I sent mom instead" she explains
She's right, if she had told me about it
I would go preaching , telling her what a big mistake she was about to make.
But its her wedding anyway, as long as she's happy, I am
"Its okay, so how are you?, how's it going over there?" I ask
"Arrgh! Its so stressful , planning a wedding all by myself , mom did try to help, but her wedding ideas are outdated, that of the 70s
I don't wanna come to my wedding dressed in some weary looking skirt, its all been a disaster" she says and we both laugh
"Here's what will happen, I'll sponsor your wedding, I'll get someone professional to do the planning, you should be relaxing not planning your own wedding" I state calmly
Its the least I could do for her
She's my only sister
"Awwn youth that's too much, I don't wanna impose on you" issie says childishly
"Hey shut it, you're my only sister in the entire world, my baby sister , this is the least I could do , what's the need of working so hard if I can't make my family happy" I say bossily
"You're so sweet , thanks bro , I love you" issie says excitedly
"I love you too" I reply
"There's something else I'd like to tell you" she says , and can smell something fishy because her voice volume reduced ,
Whatever she wanted to tell me, she definitely wouldn't want anyone else to hear it.
Growing up we were so close, she'd tell me every single thing that happens in her life, I had had to keep several secret for her which my mom never knew about.
"What is it" I ask
"I'm pregnant" she says and I'm dumbstruck,
What! Thank God she's getting married soon and that bastard eduardo , shouldn't think of living her at the altar or I 'll personally rip him apart.
"How long?" I ask in the most calm way I can, she was an adult but I still saw her as a baby
"2months" she replies,
"Couldn't you both wait till after the wedding" I playfully tease and we both laugh
"Does mom know about it?" I ask
I'm sure my mom would freak out if she knew, she was all churchy , she believed in following procedure, she was a deaconess in the church at Ohio , she stood against premarital sex , its fornication she would say,
We're in the 21st century were only nobody still remembers that.
"That's the problem, she doesn't know, I can't tell her, she'll freak out, you know how she is" issie says panicky
"Relax , its a good thing you're getting married soon, you can tell her after you get married she'd be less angry" I advise
" and don't you stress yourself, I don't know what kind of dimwit would let his pregnant wife to be stress so much" I tease
"Youth! He's your soon to be brother in-law , so quit giving him a hard time, he's been very supportive" she defends
"Yeah yeah, I've heard you, I'll speak to my secretary tomorrow, she'll get someone in Ohio to start the preparation for your wedding, I'll give her your number, so all you have to give her a mental picture of the kind of wedding you'd love to have and leave the rest to her" I instructs
"Thanks a lot youth, I and eddy would be so grateful" she says in appreciation
"I'm doing it for you, not for Eduardo" I tease, we both laugh and I hang up
I should get some sleep, it's 10pm already
My phone rings again
Arrgh! Who could it be
I check the caller , its nikky
We exchanged contacts at the shoot, just before she came into my dressing room.
Why is she calling?
I ignore and she calls again
Arrgh! I angrily pick
"What" I blast
"Hi youth, uhm I'm at your door" she says
Is she crazy? At my door? How did she know where I live, of course she does, almost everyone at bransheight knows
Is she some freaking psycho?
How can she visit a My house at 10pm
"You're kidding right?" I ask hopefully praying she would say yes she was kidding
"No youth I'm out here, I came to see you, I needed to see you" she says
"Do you realise how crazy you sound?" I bark,
"I'm sorry, I just needed to see you" she says
I hang up and put on my shirt and head for the door.
