Chapter 10There is a knock on the door and Rebecca curses out loud. “Who the fuck is that?” she yelled.“It is me, your brother,” that voice which she had grown to hate answered from the outside.Rebecca groaned and stood up from the bed, she was about to binge watch a movie and she knew Triple J wouldn’t go away unless she heard what he came to say. She stood up and walked to the door, hesitated a bit before opening it.He was standing out there in his pajamas which she almost chuckled about; well, he never wore Pajamas, he said it was immature to have a uniform for night sleep, and that real men slept in lower underwear. Whatever was going on with him these days, she doesn’t give a fuck about it.“Make it snappy, I haven’t got all day, man,” she grumbled while still holding on to the door, ready to bash it to his face if he was here to waste her time.“Well, I just came to know, why do you hate me so much?” he asked calmly.The grimace on Rebecca’s face disappeared, she wasn’t expe
Jimmy walked into the bedroom and met Aria arranging the bed sheets, she was startled by his sudden entrance as she had been lost in thoughts; that was becoming a regular thing for her.“Oh, hey… sorry I scared you.” He apologized immediately.Aria smiled, she could never get tired of hearing him say sorry, not after waiting six good months to hear those words from him.“It is fine, are you okay?” she asked as she put the pillow in place. Well, they had been sharing the same bed since he returned but he always gave her space, another surprise there. With the way things were going now, Aria wouldn’t mind getting intimate with him again, but maybe he wasn’t ready for that yet.“Oh… um… yeah, I think so. I am just coming from Rebecca’s room,” he replied.“Oops, you guys fought again? Did she say something mean to you? You know you should just ignore her, right?” Aria asked in a sputter of words as she approached him at the other end of the bed.Jimmy furrowed his eyebrows and chuckled.
“Alright, I am ready to leave, you all have a nice day!” Rebecca said as she stepped out to the sitting room with a small bag on her shoulder.“Um… where are you going?” Jimmy asked immediately, turning his focus from the TV to her.He was seated in the sitting room with Aria and Susan, they were watching a Nigerian movie which he was loving. He didn’t know what his opinion of African movies was before now, but he definitely knew what they were after today.“To the beach, why do you ask?” she replied rudely.He smiled. “Oh, the beach? Great! Can I come with you?” he asked excitedly.“Wait, what? I mean, why would you want to come to the beach with me? You don’t even like hanging out with me,” she muttered in surprise.“Hmm… old me was really dumb.”“Yeah, definitely, I am glad we are on the same page.” She chirped in immediately.“Good then, new me is different. To answer your question, I want to accompany you because I am tired of staying inside this house for ages.” He uttered.“It
“Or else what? Are you going to sit on my face, sweetie?” one of the guys teased and the other laughed so hard.Rebecca clenched her fists; if she wasn’t in a good mood today, the only thing this guy would be getting on his ugly face was a heavy blow. She was having a good time on the beach till they showed up and tried to harass her.“You boys better run along to your mamas or I will be whooping your ass in no time,” she warned them.Once again they burst into laughter; they obviously found that funny, the idea of them getting beat by a lady, very hilarious.“Seriously girl, you are a hothead and I wouldn’t mind getting my ass whooped by you, but not out here, let's do it in my bedroom.” The taller guy uttered and they both laughed.That was it; Rebecca wasn’t having it anymore, they had reached her tolerance limit. Before the other guy would see it coming, she slapped the stars out of his face and forced him staggering back.“Hey bitch!! How dare you!!” the tall guy yelled as he reg
Aria walked back into the sitting room with mixed feelings; on one hand, she was glad that Triple J now had respect for her, he no longer saw her as an object for satisfaction, a sex toy, but then she was also sad that he had decided not to be intimate with her till he regained his memory.She was sad and scared for two reasons; the first was that she wished she didn’t have to wait that long to be back in his arms, she didn’t even know how long this would take; what if it took months for him to regain his memory? So she wouldn’t be able to get close to him till that time? Now she wished more than ever for his memory to return.And that led to her next fear; what if his memories returned and then he went back to his old self? What if he for whatever reasons he had back then, didn’t like or respect her anymore? What if he finally remembers and then everything is ruined again. She was scared of losing this new him, after getting to love him so deeply in the past two weeks, she didn’t kno
A month had passed and Jimmy was yet to regain his memory, while some of the family members were starting to get worried, the others didn’t really have a problem with it. They had no need for his memories anyway as he was nice, sweet and caring towards them.Jimmy himself didn’t know how to feel about it, he couldn’t remember what his life was like before the accident so he didn’t know which was better, but if the memories would make him the monster everyone said he used to be, then he would rather remain without them. Creating new memories wasn’t that difficult so of what importance was his past anyway?Aria walked out of the laundry room with the laundry basket in her hand, she had just washed Jimmy’s clothes. Her phone rang immediately while she was in the hallway and she checked the caller ID. She was quite surprised to find out that it was her old man calling. He actually called first, it had to be important.She clicked the green button immediately. “Hello Dad,” she greeted.“He
“Get out of my way, where is everyone!!” Jimmy yelled as he barged into the house, walking right past the two ladies and heading into the sitting room.Rebecca and Aria are confused with so many thoughts rushing through their heads, they had to run after him immediately. Did he suddenly regain his memory? Was their worst nightmare about to come true? The last thing they wanted was the old Jimmy, but this was more than just that, it wasn’t just his attitude but his facial look as well.“Mom!! Dad!! Get down here!!” Jimmy yelled at the top of his voice. He was so mad and offended that he could pull down the entire house at the moment.“Jimmy, are you okay?” Aria asked as she rushed to him.“Just shut up, why do you act to care? You all wanted me dead, didn’t you?” he yelled.“Jimmy, what are you talking about? What happened to you?” Rebecca asked.“Oh, so now you care to know, well it is a bit too late for that, Dora!!” he yelled.Rebecca froze immediately, Triple J had not called her t
“Who the fuck are you?” Jimmy yelled at his lookalike who was just coming down from the stairs.Okay, to avoid confusing ourselves with the two Jimmy’s, we would refer to them in this context as Jimmy one and Jimmy Two respectively.Jimmy one walked down to the sitting room with a confused look on his face, he couldn’t understand what was going on. So far, he knew that he didn’t have a brother, so why did this guy look exactly like him?“What is going on here? How are the two of you here? Can someone please explain what is going on?” Mr. James Queen uttered in complete confusion.“I should be asking those questions father, by the look of things, you have been living with a con artist. I was mad that you guys forgot about me and let me rot in that hospital but now I see that you didn’t forget me, you replaced me with this guy… how could you?” he yelled.“Wait, one of you has to be the real Jimmy, so which is it?” Aria asked and stared at Jimmy one; the guy she had fallen so madly in lo
