Entangled Chapter 12
"Let's just have our talk at the club. I'm actually on my way there now, I need to clear my head. I'll see you there." Matt grabbed his car keys from the bedside table in his bedroom and hurried out of the house. It had been difficult for him to get over the talk he had with his mom regarding Clarisse. He couldn't understand why it still stung each time her name was mentioned but one thing was certain. He needed to clear his head off her and he could do that only when he's at the club. He arrived at the club but rather than stay in his office, he chose to sit by the bar for a drink while waiting for his companion to arrive. "I'll just have the whole bottle." He said to the bartender. He had poured himself a glass of whisky and was taking a sip when he felt someone touch him from behind. "Did I keep you waiting for too long?" Andrea asked as he took a seat beside him. "No. I have just arrived myself." "Really? And you're already down to half the bottle?" Andrea remarked doubtfull

"You're up early. Don't you need to rest for your shift later?" Luisa asked with piercing eyes that showed she sensed was something off with Sophia. She had gone to wake Ann up and get her ready for school but she saw Sophia had beat her to it. Although Sophia had ended her shift earlier than usual the previous night, Luisa knew her daughter to be one who would still spend the whole day in bed, sleeping off like a tired log. Sophia was no where near lazy as Luisa had always known Sophia slept such long hours because she has her and could trust Ann's responsibility to her but today wasn't a sight she beheld often."Good morning mom. I'll drop Ann off at school today if you don't mind." Sophia said admid fixing Ann's hair."I don't mind you doing that. She's your daughter of course but what I do mind is you looking all dressed up just to have her dropped off at school." Luisa remarked."Why? We're you expecting to see me in rags instead?" Sophia retorted.Luisa ignored her and left the

"Thank you so much for such an amazing time. I'm sure I pissed off the other customers with my terrible laugh." Sophia said."You think you laugh is terrible? Wait till you hear mine. A world invasion would suffice." He jeered and Sophia laughed again."How did you get to be so funny? Your demeanor is nothing like I had imagined it to be." She remarked."Let me guess. You must have thought I'd be snobbish and probably too full of myself based on my hurtful rejection right?""Mmm. I guess I'll no longer see you that way after today.""I scored a point there then. Don't you think?" He asked, smiling at her. She laughed softly and said "I guess you did but if you don't mind, I would like to be on my way now.""Sure, no problem. We're done here anyway. I'll just drop you off at your house, if that's alright with you.""Maybe next time. I did have a great time though having coffee with you. Thank you." She said."Actually I should be the one thanking you for accepting to come out and for

Sophia crouched to the ground with arms wide open to receive her daughter who had a big smile in her face as she ran as fast as her feet could carry towards her. She had waited a few minutes for her to arrive from the playground with her class teacher.Ann suddenly lost her balance as she ran and fell to the ground. Sophia hastily got up from her squatting position to go pick her up. She was holding onto her knee as she sobbed softly.Sophia was quick to see that her daughter had scrapped her knee and it was bleeding. She was about to pick her up when she heard someone shriek loudly and her attention drifted. She was curious to know what it was about and who it could be from. Knowing it was a school premises, her thoughts were it could possibly be some other child but she thought wrong. It was then she noticed a classy woman assumed to be in her late forties standing ahead of them.She was draped in very expensive clothing, anyone could tell she was wealthy. As she kept her gaze on h

"I'm coming." Sophia answered from inside the kitchen at the persistent knock on the door. She grabbed a dry towel from one of the kitchen drawers and wiped her hands as she hurried to get the door after putting it away on the dinning table. It was almost 8pm and knew she wasn't expecting any visitors neither was her mom. Well whoever it was, they had succeeded in delaying her cooking by a minute.Her right hand met the door knob, turning it in a clockwise direction, she opened the door and her eyes beheld Jethro standing by the door with a bag in one hand and flowers in the other."Mr Gibbs, what a surprise to see you here." She remarked as she played out different possible reasons in her head as to why he was there, standing by her door at such time of the night. What baffled her more was the fact that he had with him a bouquet of flowers."Who could it possibly be for?" She pondered."I'm sorry for stopping by unannounced. I just got off work and thought to stop by.""I see." Sh

The morning sun peered through the brightly colored chiffon curtains in Matt's bedroom. He wriggled in bed, disturbed by the sunrays.It was a Saturday morning meaning a work free day for him and he intended to make the most of it resting in bed. Just when he seemed to have triumphed over the persistent sunrays, his phone started to ring and this made him grumble."I should have set it on silent mode." He thought to himself.He lazily reached for it on his bedside drawer and the caller ID showed it was Vida calling."It's so early in the morning, what is it?" He mumbled, half awake."Are you sure you're on planet earth? It's almost 12pm silly and you're still asleep." She responded."What!?" Matt blurted out, fully awake now. He sat up straight on the bed, checked the little alarm clock by the drawer and it really was almost noon. He didn't realize he had slept for so long. It had been a hectic for day for him yesterday, trying to get acquainted with his father's business before hi

Sophia was seated with her legs folded on the couch and lost in her phone when Luisa arrived at the sitting room.She had been calling out to her daughter for more than five minutes but because of how carried away she was with what she was doing, she hadn't heard her at all.Luisa snatched the phone from Sophia's hand when she got close enough. "Mom!" Sophia tried to reach for it but Luisa wouldn't let her take it."I have been calling you for more than I can remember but here you are lost in your phone. What are you up to that's keeping you so occupied?" Luisa asked, taking a look at the content of the phone.She saw that it was a website on how to secure admission as a part timer at a university."What is this? Are you planning to go back to school?" Luisa asked, surprised at the discovery."Well, I haven't decided yet. I was just thinking about it and maybe decided to check out the possibility of it." Sophia answered."So why haven't you decided yet?" Sophia curled her toes and w

"Hey, I'm here at the restaurant. Where are you?""I can see you. Look up ahead, I'm four tables away from you." Matt answered.Sophia saw him afar off and waved at him, smiling widely. She was so happy to see him. Something she never saw coming.She walked over to the table and while she was at it, Matt couldn't take his eyes off of her.Time seemed to have stood still but only Sophia defied that law. Her beautiful smile that showed off her perfect dentition melted his soul and a gentle wind swept past her red hair, playing with it even as she tried to keep it stuck behind her ear.It was a strange feeling for Matt. He had never seen her look more beautiful than she did as he gazed at her. Putting together what this feeling was was something he was having a hard time doing.Sophia snapped her fingers in front of his face, bringing him back to reality."You seem spaced out, is everything alright?" She asked, taking a seat across from him."Yeah, sure. Everything's fine. Thank you so m
