I looked at Boobie blankly and she gave me a faint smile. What did her grandson tell her?

Me: Miso told you what?

Her: what could my grandson possibly tell me Buttercup?

I just shrugged. Her and her grandchildren are super tight. Actually this whole family is super close you would swear they tell each other EVERYTHING so I wouldn't be surprised if she meant Miso and I having sex a few hours ago.

Me: I don't want to lie to you I have no idea

Her: have a safe trip child. We will talk proper when I'm in Carli

I looked at her blankly and she just pulled me in for a hug and then she let go of me and kissed me on my cheek and said her goodbyes. I walked away super confused. Miso and I needed to talk when I land because now we won't get the chance to talk. I said my goodbyes to everyone and then we drove to the airport in silence. My mind was elsewhere and I think Toby's was too.

Toby: Red!

Me: huh?

Him: you wanna get something?

He was parked at the garage. Yep I had a lot on my mind for me not to even feel the car stopping and seems like Toby had been talking to me but I was too out of it to even hear him. I was thinking about what Boobie said and the amazing session I had with Miso earlier on

Me: just water and gum please

Him: you ok?

Me: yeah I'm fine. I just miss Ivy that's all

Him: call her so long. I miss her too

Me: yeah will do

He got out of the car and went to buy and left me dialling Ivy's number.

***PC***

Me: hey sisi

Her: hey you. How are you?

Me: I'm good babe and how are you?

Her: I'm ok. miss me much?

Me: like you have no idea just how much

Her: I miss you too. How was the funeral? How's your friend?

Me: the funeral was dignified. It was beautiful and how they all spoke of him he was a respected well known man

Her: I can imagine, and your new boyfriend?

Me: new boyfriend?

Her: yeah. Miso-something

Me: he is not my boyfriend. He's my friend

Her: whatever

Me: Miso is fine. He's hanging in there

Her: bring me something nice. Something South African

I just laughed and Toby walked in while I was laughing at her. What did she mean something South African?

Me: what's South African?

Her: I don't know. anything really. A souvenir

Me: ask T to bring you that

Her: give him the phone then

I put the phone on loud speaker and they greeted each other and spoke a lot we were now headed to the airport

Her: T

Him: yes.

Her: Who's Mary-Ann and what was she doing at home that night?
