Standing together

Chapter 1

Hi my name is Efe, I'm 26, I'm from Edo state, I was born and raised in Nigeria but left when I was 15 to London, well that explains my accent, I've got no friends in Nigeria except my mum and brother off course and in London well I'm what you would call anti-social, yeah yeah
Two years after college I started my real estate agency firm, and well let's say I own a lot, I like to think I'm pretty rich, recently I decided to move my company head office and expand to Nigeria, ding ding ding you guessed right I'm going home plus my mum said she has news, I hope it's good though knowing my family that's rare. Anyways I'm currently at the airport in Nigeria waiting for my brother Elliot to take me to my new house.

Yoo sis, I'm here, my brother said screaming all the way to were I was standing

Elliot you know don't have to scream before I can hear you right?

Ehh you must be joking, you don't have respect bah? He said eyeing me

Dude your only two years older, I said rolling my eyes

And that's why you won't respect me abi? He said laughing

Please help me with my bags, I really need to rest

Okay oo it's because you're just coming back, he said laughing

Elliot I hope my house is fine oo, because you are so going to return my money. I said teasing him

Hmm a whole me, it's extra vintage just the way you like it. He said giving me a side hug

Yeah I have a strong thing for old school

Yoo is that your ride? I gasped

Yeah meet Sade, sade meet Efe, he said introducing me to his car

Well nice to meat you sade, I can't wait for you to meet Ben.

Whose Ben? He said arching one his eye brows
Mr car, I said laughing

Ehh you are not serious, he said clapping his hands

Leave me alone, I said getting into the car

So what news does mum have this time, I said looking at him

She wants to tell you herself, he said with a sudden sad look

Is everything okay?

Yeah sure, he said faking a smile

But yo...............

Welcome to your new home, he cut me off point at my new home and I must say It is beautiful.

This isn't over, I said point a finger at him

Yes ma, now lets go before cobwebs will finish your house for you. He said with his annoying smirk

Okay okay, but you'll help me pack right? I said giving him a puppy dog face

Ehh ehh first you take out your things from my car, you follow to my place, take a shower, get pretty then we'll go celebrate, yoo my little sister is BACK!!! He said smiling

No buts, let's go, he said dragging me to the car

Okay but if I pass out I'm blaming you.

Don't try me, he said with a warning face
