When he looked up, he gave a wry smile.
"You're lucky Michael. You know, the first time you stepped into Donny's, I wondered what you were doing there. You couldn't have known what you were getting into but I was angry with you for some reason. That you'd throw it all away. You have a family and people looking out for you."
I was quiet as his words sank
My mom got occasional calls from my school teachers. Calls had also come in from Ola's teachers about the bullying. She had asked for updates on both of us."What, do you expect me to leave my two children home alone and not try to know what's going on?" She said.
I visited mom two days later and she was quite shocked to see me there again so soon. When I was sure she was okay and I updated her about happenings at home, I went to the hospital cafeteria to get a snack and hopefully catch a glimpse of Katherine. I was halfway into a meat pie before I saw her. She walked alone thankfully, so it gave me that extra boost of confidence to wave to her.
I was surprised at how much I looked forward to seeing her. I didn’t turn around just yet and remained where I was as I tried to decide whether to just leave or say hello. I decided to at least say something but when I turned to look for her, she was gone. "Honey, are you sure it's him?"My mom asked when I returned to the room. She referred to the
I didn't tell her anything about that night because I didn’t want her opinion of me to change but her dad knew some of the stories behind that night. I felt like I owed it to Dr Meyers to tell him what happened after how much he had helped me. I didn't want him to be deceived or keep information from him in case it came back to bite me in the future.I was worried that it would somehow get out in the public that I was once an employee of Donny's and the Police would come looking for me. Although I knew I hadn't done anything wrong. I'd even gotten rid of the weap
“Hold on, here's a quick one. You know what this means guys, it’s next week Friday, who’s going to be there?” Ayo drew our attention back to his gig. “What exactly are you performing for this time?” Idris asked. “There’s a fundraiser and a couple of bands and artists were invited.”
We walked into the hotel lobby where Laura and Idris waited. I couldn’t help but glance around the reflective walls-wow I looked amazing if I do say so myself- and the colourful paintings that seemed to give off a life of their own. Laura saw us first, as she walked toward us her heels clicked sharply on the floor. Idris soon followed closely behind. “Well, look at you!” I grinned as she spun around slowly for us to be awed by her silk evening gown. It draped nicely on her body and flowed down like a midnight blue waterfall.
Most of the unexpected people at fundraiser had set me on edge but I couldn’t miss it when Ayo and his band came on stage to perform. There was a palpable change in the atmosphere of the room and it suddenly became lively. It was always a rewarding experience to watch him in his element as he pretty much owned the stage within those moments he performed. There was a short break in between performances so we walked around the hall to mingle and grab some refreshments. I picked up a mini platter of grilled chicken with sauce and couldn’t help but take a mome
Cindy muttered something under her breath and rolled her eyes.“It was great seeing you Michael, you’re looking well. Nice to meet you, Katherine.” She walked away before either of us replied.“Wow, he seems like a douche,” Katherine whispered when Cindy left.
