All Chapters of The Girl They Called A Boy: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

IRISH POVI can't lie my way out, as it stands. “Lisa got it for me.”Here we have it. He was still looking at me like he was trying to process what I said.“Irish, I will ask you this one question, and you dare not lie to me.” I didn't want to look into his eyes; I feel like he will see through me. But why was he wasting so much time asking the question? For his own good, I hoped I would come out honest.“Why did Lisa buy a diamond wristwatch as a gift for you? Did you lie to her?”“Yes, I did. I banked on the fact that she likes you. I didn’t ask for it; she gave it to me.”“Why would you! You can't bank on people's feelings because of your selfish reason!”“Selfish, huh? Do you know what it means to spend thousands of dollars on an autistic patient? The seizures, everything! You are a Wellington; you don't know what it feels like to…”I couldn't finish my words. I ran to my room and jammed the door. I hate being vulnerable in front of anyone.I could hear his footsteps. He was knoc

IRISH’s POV“That makes sense, if he agrees to go with us, then I will follow you home, mum,” Jimmy said to my surprise.Is he trying to put me on the spot? Wonderful, the woman is looking at me in such a pitiful way. Now, how am I going to say no to her?I looked at Jimmy, but he was looking elsewhere. Just get well soon, we have lots of shit to solve.“Okay, Ma. I will go inside and pack a few of our things, and come out.”“Oooo, wait, you live here with him? That's strange, Jimmy hates sharing his private space with anyone. You must mean a lot to my son.” Being loquacious is a thing in this family. I gave her a brief smile, went inside, gathered some of the things I thought we would need, joined them in the car, and we left.Jimmy was looking at the chauffeur from the front mirror. Yes, yes, I know, I have been stealing glances at him. For some weird reason, he looks more handsome today. If hurting his ankle will make him finer, then by all means, he should. Okay, I need to be se

JIMMY’s POV“What are you saying?” I asked.“Yes, son. We have kept this away from you and your sister. But it is high time you met your brother. I want my children to be united. I am sorry for keeping you in the dark all this time.”“He will be coming tomorrow. I want you both to bond together.”Is this man joking or out of his senses? From the look on his face, it was neither.“By ’we’ you mean?” I asked, trying to be sure my brain wasn't playing tricks on me.“Your mum.”That did it. I didn’t wait. I went straight to my mum’s room. She was having her beauty session, or whatever she calls it.“I want to have a moment with my mum.” The beautician left the room, leaving only the two of us.“Hey, son, you should be resting. You can’t be walking around; allow your ankle to heal. Come, sit with me.”She tapped the couch she was sitting on, but I didn’t move. I stood there.“Are you aware Dad has another son?”I looked at her face, and even without words, I’d gotten my answers.“Just, wow

IRISH POVI am in for a long ride. He recognized me on the spot. Why wouldn’t he? I courted him for almost two years, and the name Idris gave me away so easily.Jimmy didn’t seem so happy to see him. His face was saying it all.“I can’t wait to make up for all the time we lost. I’ve been living my life as an only child, now it’s time to be around my siblings,” Alex chirped, always smiling.Jimmy finally smiled. “Welcome, Dr. Alex. It is indeed a small world. Who would have thought that the same doctor I met in the hospital happens to be my father’s son?”He remembered. Wait a minute… if Alex is a Wellington, that means his mother is a mistress. A long-time one. Just wow. Shameless!, and she had the guts to scare me away from her son simply because of my background. She really has some nerves.Looking at Jimmy’s father, what’s his name again… Mr. Charles. The Michael Jackson of their time. The man has got some good looks and genes, but he looks damn innocent. Who would have thought he

IRISH’S POVI zoomed in on the picture, moving my fingers over the screen, trying to see if there was any way at all someone could recognize me. Thank God, my hair strands were covering a good part of my face, and the fierce makeup did the rest. But just look at that ass. It was well captured, round, firm, and Jimmy’s face… oh Lord, Jimmy’s face was filled with pure lust.“Idris, what’s funny? Why are you smiling?”Oh, I had totally forgotten Becky was still sitting here with me. I quickly tried to wipe the smirk off my face and pretend like nothing happened.“Your brother sure has an eye for good things,” I said casually, my voice coming out smoother than I felt inside. “I’m pretty sure he had a great time. His ankle is healed, don’t you think so?”“He is not meant to be with another woman!” Becky fired back immediately. “Do you know what this will do to his relationship? Anita won’t be pleased about this news at all, and my dad will be so angry.” She snatched the phone from my hand.
