★★JAYDEN★★
"Don't drink this, I won't be there if you choke...!" I collected the drink from her.
She was coughing a lot. She rested her head on my lap. "Mr Richard, you talk... I'll listen."
"Don't call me mister, Richard is OK." I sigh before starting.
"All my life, I've always been the rebellious one, the goat of the family. I had this dream, to be seated with my father and other men, to talk if business, not to stand beside him while he talks."
"It's bad to want to start from the top I know, but it's my habit, I don't need help from anyone, I want to be my own boss, with other bosses not to learn and be nurtured under them. I don't need recommendation from my father!"
She was singing " twinkle... Twinkle star... No, twinkle, twinkle little star." With a different voice.
"Bella, are you listening?"
"Yes, I am..." She hold her mouth... "But- but my mouth is smelling, why did I drink alcohol?" she started crying.
"Ok..." She's gone. In a while, I haven't talk to anybody about myself, and I also can't talk to her.. Great.
"Ok, let me take you home." I made her stand up.
"Hold me, I'll fall off the mountain.."
"Aish... This girl, we're not even on the mountain." I lift her like a bag of flour and carried her to the other side.
I drop her, but she's still holding my neck... "Pls, don't go... I'll be alone again... Mom already left me." She brought her lips closer to my face and gave me a kiss on my cheek. I looked at her in the most surprising way. This pompom is also spoilt...??
She still hold ml my neck tightly... I brought my nose closer to hers, wanting to kiss her... Her snore brought me back to my world. Not this underage girl. Jay!
I pulled her two hands hardly from my neck and turned to the other side.
Home wasn't that far from here, we reached In no time.
"Come out Bella..." I ordered as I carried the bottles inside.
"Mr Richard! Mr richard!" This crazy girl again?
I pretended not to hear, this crazy is not ashame to tell me she loves me.
I walk straight home, dropped the drinks in the Fridge, i went back outside to carry Bella. She was waiting for me at th door, set herself to block my way.
"Mr Richard, did you like the dish?" Bella's step is frustrating me.
"Yes, i did... I'm busy now, can we speak tomorrow?" I ask.
She made a sad face "I wanted to help you-" the drunk girl was turning uncontrollably in the car, making a lot of noise. We both drift our direction towards the car.
"Is that-?"
I went to the car and carried her on my shoulder.
"What is she doing with you?" She asked in a different tone.
"We live together and now, she got drunk..."
"Nooo..!" She stomped her feet hard on the floor and ran home.
"Weirdo..."
I dropped her in the room. My phone had a lot of missed calls.
From my mom, Gabriel, the club...
"Hello mom..." I called my mom with video call, she likes to see my face a lot.
"Jayden, are you sure your dad should sign this?"
"If I didn't want him to sign, why would I give the papers to you? Like I said, I only want to ruin Wayne, not your husband..." I turned the tab to the other side.
I still can't understand her love for him, even after all these years. He cheated on her time without numbers. Hit her badly and pretend to be the idle businessman outside. When i First left, I askes her to follow me but she didn't, she wants to live with that shrewd man.
"Hello...Jay, are you still there?"
"Yes ma.. Still here!" I make my face visible to the camera
"I'll make him sign then you'll come to collect it tomorrow". She said.
"Ok..." I was ready to hang up when she called my name "Jay, pls, I want to ask a question"
I know what she always wanted.
"If you are able to clear your name as a murder, will you come home to stay with us, let's live as one big family?"
"I-"
"I'm hungry, I want to throw up." Bella came in my room...
"Who's that?" She looked closely...
I got up to support the drunk girl, I didn't let her sign for me to care for her..
"Mom, I'll call you back..." I picked her up.
"So dumb, I asked you not to ever come here and now, you're here."
Mom must be smiling, I have nothing to do with this little girl... She's ugly.
I took her to the bathroom. when i want to get drunk, I lock my door so I don't disturb anyone... She's giving me a headache.
