Chapter 49

His had was in shambles and his life had come crashing in front of him like a car that had somersaulted several times before finally stopping over a cliff. With both hands, he wiped his face with tears flowing out of his eyes like a running tap and asked himself questions that could never have answers, he knew that nothing could make him feel better than to know who his biological father is.
Seeing how hurt he was at that time, Crystal had taken his hand in an attempt to make him feel better and not to think about the pain anymore. Her sole aim was to make him understand that he was not alone and that she was right there with him.
The blaze was happy to know that Crystal could share in his grief and give ears to what he was saying. Putting his head on her chest, she caressed his hair as though he was a baby, and letting out a soft voice she said,
" You will never be alone again babe I am always going to be here for you." A tear dropped down his eyes as Crystal's words reminded him of his late mom. Yes, she was not his biological mother but the bond that they share was thicker than those who had the same blood.
Continuing his story, he narrated how he had come back home vet late that day as he did not want to talk to anyone nor see them. Blaze needed some time to absorb everything he had heard and it was beginning to be clear to him why her aunty had suddenly turned cold towards him but was it necessary?, he asked himself not having answers but to him, it was crazy because, from the way his foster mom and dad had treated him, he had understood the meaning of the phrase which says, 'Family must not always be good pertained' and yes that was the case with he's.
Seeing the worried look on the faces of his parents that night, he could feel their heartbeat from the moment he stepped got into the house and his mom rushing towards him in fright asking where he had been and why he had not been picking up his calls, Blazes eyes were filled in tears and not being able to hold back his emotions he dropped out the words from his mouth like an atomic bomb and falling out, the explosion was wild.
"Tell me the truth mom, who are my biological parents?" he asked and at that time, the expression on the faces of both his parents confirmed what he had just heard. The blaze was naturally a calm man with hard decisions but when it came to his family, he could do anything for them especially his mom but all that he was asking for was the truth as he deserved it.
He had no problem with them being his parents as they were the only ones he was ever going to know but seeing how every other person looked at him like a bastard just like he had heard his aunt calling him during the day, left his heart in pieces that could not be mended.
His story continued and he had a point that he was trying to prove to Crystal and that was the reason why he was going step by step holding tight his grip to the most difficult part where he had to be reminded of how his dad was murdered in cold blood with his friend inside his car whereas the target was supposed to be him.
That was something heel was never going to forget in his entire life and those were the things that made him tough just like he had turned out to be but before going to it, his mind was bent to complete his story but at one pace to another.
Georgia stayed quiet all through their journey back home and Simon wanted to talk to her but out of respect for her who was seated behind his car, he kept his mouth close while paying attention to the road. Her heart was heavy and her feelings were hurt just by listening to her mother's words about someone that looks at her as a mother but there she was denying to help her out just because of some stupid fear. Things were very funny to her but she had to deal with it like that.
The atmosphere was tense and the silence was destroying each one of them especially the mother and daughter who conflicted. Reaching in front of the Mansion, Mrs. Yvonne stepped down from the car thinking that her daughter was going to do the same but to her greatest shock, Georgia did not feel like going into the house as she might be pushed to say something that she will regret later.
"Are you not coming into the house with me baby?" she asked in sorrow but Georgia not even looking at her, kept serene with her gaze on the flowers that were planted by the roadside. Bet mom stood at the car door for some time and decided to go into the house.
"Georgia you should not be like that with your mom because I can understand how she feels bad I know that she loves you very much too," Simon tried to talk some sense into her head but Georgia felt that there was something that her mother was not telling her and she was bent on finding what it is.
The expression on her face was something that Simon could not understand as he tried to make out why she was so mad at her mom but it was more than him and only Georgia could tell why she was in that state. Growing up, she saw her mother as her hero and she could do anything just to fight for the people who are oppressed but now that it has to do with her friend, she was warning her to stay off clear the case but shaking her head as she squeezed her eyes, Georgia denied to let go of it just like that.
"You might have won today, but you will not win another day uncle Max," her words roamed in her head before she was drastically been touched by Simon on the hand.
"Can young least tell me what you are thinking about that is making you feel this way and to look as irritated like an animal?" he asked wanting to help with whatever thing that was troubling her but in a state of shock, as she looked at his hand on hers, Georgia felt slimy substances go down her pants with her whole body vibrating violently.
Glancing at Simon with lots of imagination in her eyes, she was lost by his touch and did not want to seem cheap but that was the case because her whole essence was boiling up with passion. Her stares transmitted a lot of things that her lips could not and Simon realizing how tensed she was, Simon saw in her eyes that she wanted him.
Wanting to get everything clear between them both he asked while taking his hand to caress her face and going closer to her with his breath caressing the side of her neck, Simon interrogated softly,
"Do you want me to make you feel better?". Georgia's eyes lowered as her sense had come back immediately she had listened to him ask that. Closing them she pulled herself backward not wanting to make rash decisions not to sound desperate and she muttered,
" I am fine Simon, it will pass eventually, I just want to see my friend and to tell her how much life has not been easy without her instructs and harsh rebukes but which I loved because it always made me conscious of whatever I wanted to do with my life," she narrated.
Simon could feel the pain that was in her heart and knowing full well how close they are, it was only natural for her to feel sad. Still looking at her sadness, Simon inquired what he could do to make her happy again and to see that talkative Georgia that he has always known and the word talkative made her laugh out a little while thinking of how aggressive and I'm posting her words are especially when she is angry at someone it about something but feeling like she learns things every day, she knew that it was a side of her that she was supposed to work on though most of the guys she has had to date, loved the talking version of her.
"I love the talking version of you too," Simon said loping at her in a romantic way that made Georgia melt on the car seat and asking whether he was serious about what he was saying, he nodded in agreement
"I don't think you know what to are saying because I feel that I talk so much," she said laughing out her daughter was becoming brighter and Simon saw another kind of beauty on her that he had never noticed before. Feeling all confused and asking himself whether he was still doing this because he was in search of Crystal, a part of him whispered gently that he was constantly meeting Georgia because he had started feeling something strong for her.
Yep, it was not impossible because she is a girl just like the others, but it was going to be absurd as he loved her friend and that was something that everyone knows at least those who had schools with them including Georgia.
Flying her hair from side to side, Simon saw her well-structured neck with a beauty mark just on the spot that he has always wished for in a girl's body. Moody at it with so much concentration, he whispered unknowingly and his words made their way into Georgia's eyes like wildfire.
"I love your beauty mark Georgia and I wish that I could be given a chance to just place a kiss on it," he announced and Georgia turned almost immediately that she had given attention to him speak, she asked what he had just said looking at him with gladness in her heart as she wanted him to be the first person to make the first step this time around but Simon realizing himself asked Georgia whether she had finally made up her mind to go inside the house.
The disappointment on her face was very visible and she could not begin to believe that she was so dumb to have said what she had heard. Georgia feeling embarrassed by the situation thanked him for his time and concern before turning behind to pick up her bag that was in the back seat.
Her head had swollen up and she felt like the biggest idiot that had ever existed, wondering what she was thinking about when she had hoped that his words were what she had heard, Simon was busy looking at her face that showed how sad she was.
It was not his intention to hurt her or anything but she was so concerned about her friend and with everything that was going on, he needed some time to digest everything that was happening to him especially the thoughts that were roaming all over his head whenever he was not with Georgia. Watching her leave his car, Simon came down to call her back but it did not seem like she wanted to talk to anyone, and walking away from her house as well, she saw a cab passing by and she boarded it.
"I can't believe he just made me feel like a lunatic," Georgia spoke out with her eyes filled with tears, and the cab driver listening tinker murmur behind his taxi, asked what destination she had given but she was too confused and devastated do even think properly so she said,
"Just keep driving driver, you can leave me anywhere." Her head was a mess and not being able to understand what was going on with her, Georgia declined herself at the back of the taxi being caught up between sanity and insanity.
