Chapter Twenty-eight: Yours Truly, Sentiments..

Waking up on the softest of cushions at the Dumonte mansion to be greeted with a bowl of deliciously sparkling milk was indeed heavenly.

Up until I remembered why we came here, what led to our coming here and what the day would bring for us.

Most especially if you add the never-ending disturbances from the Dumonte pets (or pests, as I think they should be called) and how they constantly fawn over the little monster, especially Bonnie as if she were a present from Aphrodite, the god of beauty herself.

'Uh! Your fur is so soft. What's your fur care routine?'..

'Oh, your eyes! They're so blue'..

'Uh, this' 'Uh, that's.. Can someone get a moment for thoughts procession over here? Please?.. We've got a missing relative on our hands..

Rats!

I've got so much on my mind right now.

Last night, I'd overheard Roxy on the phone with Genny, and she had told her about Endra's disappearance. Genny had said we were in danger and immediately sent Juan to come pick us up and bring us over there, unknowingly to her that Juan was just within arm's length. That is, sprawled almost completely in the nude on Roxy's queen-sized bed.

You sneaky little bitch!..

Anyway, I'm not complaining about the inconveniences.. So far I get to wake up to this kind of pampering every morning, I'm always good to go..

Except for the pests I have to put up with..

As soon as we had alighted the car that very day, Genny was upon us and had wasted no time in bombarding Roxy with unending questions and queries about my MIA baby girl until the 'I'm a badass big ass bitch and I know it' baby girl broke down in body-wracking tears in her Mother's embrace.

Oh put a sock in it, girl! You did stand by and do nothing when she needed you the most.. A good friend would always probe, no matter what the situation was. Perhaps your relationship with the curly-head male is far more important than your best friend-turned-sister..

As if she had heard me, her cry increased in ten folds. Juan kept clenching and unclenching his jaws and fists as he carried the suitcases while Genny soothed her eldest daughter and led her in, amidst tears herself.

Even Ben had being present to receive the trio of us, excluding little monster, perhaps to hear first hand information about Alessandra's whereabouts and the hell had led to the engagement. I had sighted a few worry lines on his face he was trying so desperately to conceal with his unemotional poker face. He'd even added that he'd gotten an anonymous information that our apartment was going to be broken into that night, that's why he ordered for us to be brought over for our safety.

Good thinking, sir..

The only person who hadn't being there was Tobs. I later heard from Bonnie that he had gone to the higher institution for learning. Lettie on the other hand, had looked disappointed beyond words. Like she would rather have someone else in our travel company than the people who came. And no, it wasn't Endra.

You should be happy, heard he was dropping in, in a few..

I didn't tell her that anyway.

She doesn't speak cat.

Even if she did, I don't think I want to. I don't appreciate this reception from her..
