Chapter six
I quickly entered the car telling the driver where to take me before I dug out for the complimentary card given to me yesterday by him and saw his name "Zion" I said out loud before picking my phone. One ring Jackie picks up
"What's up?" She asked
"Everything is down right now. What's the name of your date today?" I asked to be sure incase his just his lookalike or replica
"Zion" she answered
"Shit" I shouted
"What happened?" Comes Jackie worried voice
"He's the same guy I had a quickie with and followed me. He gave me his Proposal and he's here tonight as your date Jacky. I'm screwed" I yell over the phone
"Shit. Double shit" I heard Jackie repeating doing what God knows because I could detect from the phone she's moving around "where the ficking hell is my car key?" She asked
"I wouldn't know"
"Sorry I'm coming over" she said when I ended the call. I didn't know we have arrived until the driver speaks up
"Ma we are here" he said
"Sorry" I said, paying him his fee. I walked inside and luckily no one was there. I quickly went to my room and had a change of clothes before walking back to let my parents know I'm back.
"Father" I yell
"Yes my angel" he said coming out from their room
"Most you shout or you're just trying to let the whole neighbors know you have a father b disturbing the hun" mother said
"Oh gosh mom it's not long I get back and you're on my neck already?"
"Since I'm strangling you right?" She question so I sighed
"I'm hungry" I said changing the topic
"Me too" Abraham said following me to the kitchen "sis can I have some money I'm broke"
"Is that why you said you're hungry just to follow me inside and ask me for money right?" I asked looking at him suspiciously
"No" he stammered
"Then?"
"Okay fine. We are hanging out with my friend tomorrow and you know mom will not give me a dime" he complained
"And how do you expect me to give you money when I just started working?"
"Please" he pleaded with his puppy eyes
"Fine but after this time don't asked me of anything again"
"I promised I wouldn't. You're the best sister in the universe" he said hugging me which I smiled
"Let me get my food before you strangle me to death" I pushed him away but immediately I sit down to eat the door was swing open and Jackie walked in which I couldn't stop myself from laughing
"Seriously Jackie" I said laughing which Abraham follow suit before my parents walk in seeing how we were laughing
"Oh God Jackie what happened to you?" Mother asked trying to hide her own laughter but father couldn't contain his so he laugh with us which makes Jackie to walk out to check herself out in the mirror
"What they hell" she screamed
"You have seen it right. You look like a mad woman who just escape from asylum" I said in between laughs
"This not funny Scar" she shouts
"Don't mind her my lovely daughter" mother said helping her to remove the pins in her hair and untangled her hairs which looks like a bird nest
"We need to talk to Scar'' she said in-between gritted teeth as I walked past her to my room "What the hell happened?" She asked immediately she lock the door
"I don't know seriously because you know I didn't know his name and you know I didn't even check his complimentary card to find out and when you inform me about his name I didn't quiet keep it in mind" I explained
"Then what now?" She asked
"I don't know because I'm confused just the way you are"
"Just accept his damn proposal and everything will be over"
"I don't think your using your brain to think right now rather you're using your pussy dumb head
"Fine" she started but her phone rang which didn't bother to check the caller "hello" she said which she didn't say anything for a while "wrong number please I'm not in the mood to talk now" she said "Oh shit. You said what" She screamed before checking her phone screen which if it's possible her eye bulb will be out of her socket. She ends the call
"Who is that?" I asked seeing her mouth wide open
"It's Zion" she said which I jolt up from the bed
"What?" I shouted
"You heard me well. I'm coming let me receive the call" she said and walked out

Zion POV
I didn't plan to go for this stupid blind date of a thing but I know we'll not to try my grandma because she will taunt and haunt me even in my dream. I decided to take my time so that the date will get angry and left "Zion you better come out now before I drag you down the stairs" I heard grandma voice which groan before walking out
"I'm coming" I shouted picking up my jacket "Mike" I called out
"He's not here I set him up on a blind date too since none of you is ready to see down"
"I'm off" I said
"Good and you better bear good new when coming back or else don't bother coming back home" she warns which I will gladly prat it backfires that way I will have few days away from her
I arrived at the hotel where we got a reservation. I walked in and was ushering to my table but I guessed the person I'm here to meet is noon or something else because she was busy with her phone and from her dressing I don't think things will work out which I smile before clearing my voice. "Hello" I said to get her attention which did the trick because she raised her head
"You" we both said pointing at each other but before I could say another thing she picked her bag and coat before running out which u followed suit but I was confused to see her dressing like that but dropped that aside to chase her but was a little bit late because she hail a taxi and entered before I could get to her
I couldn't help but to run my hand through my hair frustrated then I smiled seeing how she's dressed which I'm sure she did just to make her date reject her which I could've done if she hadn't been the one.
I entered the car because the driver was already waiting for me "take me to the penthouse" I said to him because I don't want grandma ranting non stop on why I'm home early.
I entered my room and couldn't stop pacing around which made me hit the wall "gosh" I said holding my head into my head not knowing what to do. I tried to even my breath before I pick my phone to call her
"Hello" I said but guessed she's kind of carried away
"Please am I speaking to Jackie" I said waiting for response
"Wrong number" she said annoyed about end the call
"Please wait it's Zion" I said after much deliberation before I heard her scream "oh shit you said what?" She was Shocked or surprised but I can't really say before she hangs up.
I was still holding my phone when a call came through "hello" I said putting the phone on speaker
"Sorry I end the call" she apologies
"That's not a problem"
"Good. So I'm sorry for causing this ruckus" she apologies again which I'm confused
"Sorry I don't get you"
"Well I'm Jackie but the person you met with is Scarlet my best friend" she explains
"But why?. I thought I'm meeting Jackie" i asked not understanding
"Well she came instead of me because I don't believe in all this blind date of a thing" she said
"But you know what you did is wrong you should've just inform me right away and save the both of us from this stress and wasting of time" I said a tad bit angry
"I'm sorry" She apologies
"You know that won't solve all the problem" o said through gritted teeth I can't believe their audacity
"I know but i promised to make it up to you"
She vows
"How?" I asked
"I know of the proposal you gave to Scar and I promised I will help you out if you will just want this slide" she said
"But"
"Don't worry she told me everything even about your lovey dovey moment in the toilet but I promised my mouth is sealed" she said which I groan
"Fine bit I need to meet her first because I don't want to force her"
"Worry not I got you covered and I promised you both will meet. I will set a date for you both tomorrow so you can discuss"
"Good but don't let her know she's meeting me"
"I got that cover just get ready and don't be late like always" she warns which I chuckle seeing she got some nerve
"Alright the 8pm"
"Done" and I disconnected the call smiling before I composed myself. I don't know what have gotten over me I never do all this nor have I stressed myself over a girl before but I think it's because I just want grandma and mother to let me be
"Yes that is it" I said out loud to myself
Scar povJackie walked in shortly with her phone "who was that?" I couldn't help but questioned her seeing how she's behaving"A client" she replied not looking at me which only means she's lying to me but decided to let it be since I'm tired. I adjusted the duvet "Off the light when you're done" I said, covering my eyes with an eye mask since I can't sleep with the light on.**I woke up late because I turned off the alarm, seeing it was disturbing my sleep. "Jackie you need to wake-up if you don't want to be late for work" I said tapping her but the dummy head wouldn't wake up so I had to drag her down "Stop that Scar" she said trying to pushed me with her legs"Get up or you will be late and I know you wouldn't like your cousin to take your place in the office" I sing a song while she sprint to the toilet which I sigh in relief seeing that did the trick. I guess she doesn't want someone else to take the company under her nose so she always try her best to be punctual and active
Zion's POVDressed up ready to leave but Jackie is yet to call so I check myself out once again. I can't really say why I'm doing this because I'm never the type that insisted on thing but ever since I set my eyes on her I couldn't forget about her then our quicky sex in the toilet which I was surprised what made me to do that when I'm the type that's always cautious but everything about her is just I don't really know what to say. My phone rings and I pick it immediately "hello" I said "Hy come quickly before she notice my antics" Jackie whispered which I know she's not close to her friend I quickly walk down the stairs but was greeted with my grandma "Where are you rushing to?" She asked"I have an appointment" I reply about to leave"Have you ever heard of such an appointment before?""Grandma please" I said "see you when I come back" I hurriedly walked out before she could say another word. I didn't bothered to asked the driver to drive because i want to go aloneI arrived in no
Scar povI didn't know what actually came over so I ran out of the car because I know what I did is embarrassing enough. Immediately I'm at the door I composed myself before walking in there I saw the devil in disguise I called my best friend behind my mom hiding "Jackie" I said smiling so it won't seem as if I'm mad at her"You're back?" She asked "Yes I am" I replied "and you know we have some unfinished business right?" I asked "I don't think so and as you can see I'm giving mother a little help here" she said hugging my mother from the back"Don't mind her daughter you know Scar doesn't help around rather lazing around her room that's why I'm always to see you around. I wished you live here with us" mother praised jackie which I know if I make any drastic mistake she will beat the daylight out of me"Oh my sweet mother" I said "you know you're the one that always asked me to take care of my body and to sleep very well so my skin will be smooth and good" I sweet talked her"I kno
Zion's POVI didn't bother to inform anyone about the Scar coming because I know she will and I will be the one to take the final decision so I went home and have a lovely night rest I dressed up earlier than usual so I could see everything from when she set her feet in the company "Goodmorning grandma" I greeted her I just don't know why she wakes up early every day "How was your night?" She asked "Splendid. I'm going to the office" I said about to leave"Good but I think you should just handover your own company to Mike to handle it so you can focus on one or what did you think?" She suggested "That's not a problem but I was planning to give it to mother" I said before I could think"What?" Grandma shouted"That not what I meant just for the time being since she's good I think she could be of helping hand" I said"I don't agree with that and I don't want to see her anywhere near that company it might be yours but I know what she's capable off""Grandma please I have to be early
Scar povEverything is going at a speed rate which I wished it continued like so that I could get scit free from the devil himself because I don't think I can remain sane if he continues kissing or touching me any opportunity he get it might lead to something else and I don't think I'm interested in any kind of relationship now Nit after the one that have failed before and I'm regretting it each passing day because that relationship is the only thing that makes me the way I am now but I don't blame anyone rather I blame my fragile heart and innocent mind.I shake it off and entered inside after I make sure my breathe is even "hey mom I said giving her a hug don't wonder too much I love my mom is just that we tend to have alot of misunderstanding that's all "Welcome dear. How was the interview?" She asked dropping the bowl in her hand "It was fine and I hope I get the job" I prayed "You will my dear let's be hopeful" she said "I will be the most happiest atleast you don't have to ac
Scar pov"What do you mean Grandma?" Zion asked which I was still shocked "I think you heard me right and moreover why waste time when my days are numbered or do you want me to die without seeing my great grandchildren" she said already in tears which I know it's fake "Grandma please stop this" zion tried to calm her but that only makes her to cry harder "Okay fine Grandma we are going to get married but atleast Scar and I have to discuss some things first" Zion said which I turn to look at him but he cut his eyes for me"Yes Grandma give us some time and we will get back to you""That's thoughtful of you both. Thank you" she said embracing us in a tight hug"It's getting late I need to drop her off" zion said walking out"Alright then. Goodnight Scar" she said hugging me for the last time "Goodnight Grandma" and with that I followed zion outside who was already inside the car which I sat beside him seeing his not the one driving The driver took off and Zion closed the window betw
Scar pov "How?" I asked surprised which she laughed "Well to tell you the truth I was once an actress so I know when someone is acting because I'm good at it myself you should have known the day you saw me crying" she said which h I nod "and again my grandson doesn't belive in lover rather he believes in sex and pleasure which he thinks money can give him all that so why stress over getting married" she points out "he did this because I'm forcing him and giving pressure and same way his mother is pressuring him to get married so he could get the inheritance" "Oh!" I said surprised "So you see even the Idea of pretending to have a fiance that is definitely his mother idea but I don't care all I want is for him to be happy that's all" "I'm sorry for fooling you" I said which she wave it off "Don't be sorry dear in fact I'm glad he found someone as you who is truthful and has consciousness" she said "you know if it was someone else she could've taken advantage of the situation an
Scar Pov I was confused on what to do so I turned to Zion "keep quiet and stay here let me go and meet my parents them I will for a way for you to go out" I said opening the door to meet my parents "Are you sleeping already?" Mother asked "No am not" "Why are you looking as if you're stressed out?" She question "I'm fine. You both didn't come back on time?" I change the topic "Well we didn't finish on time and we went to watch a movie" she said smiling looking at my father who was also smiling as if they're newly weds "Okay okay please not now it's late already maybe you both can continue your love in the comfort of your room" I said to them "Oh and we bought you tons of clothes but I'm too tired now so we will do that tomorrow and worry not have set the one you're wearing to office tomorrow you're gonna look sexy and get you boss drooling over you" she said "Mom please go and sleep I think you have consume more alcohol than usual" I said "dad please help her inside" I sai
