Audrey's POV
"So you insist that we Walk home? " Simon asked me again when his driver drove away.

"Yeah, I miss walking with Kyle" I said to him and he smirked jealously.

"Kyle again. Okay so you are substituting me for Kyle?" He asked and I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"How about him? "

"He still doesn't want to talk to me"

"I'm suggesting we should continue to give him some space, enough space" Simon suggested.

"Yeah I know but for how long? " I sad sadly.

" I don't know " He answered.
"I'm glad your mood is better than yesterday, You've brightened up" He said and I moue.. because I know I'm still not okay inside of me.
"Uhm Audrey, can we spend some time alone, not at school nor at the restaurant. Maybe a date or something. Oh Good, tonight is a young Celebrity first concert here in Wearous. How about we go? I think he's name is Dharc and you seem not to be a die-hard fan of celebrities, so I can trust you won't collapse when he yanks off his shirt" He said and I chuckled.

"I'll pay the tickets and entrance fees" He said.

"Foremost Simon, Mom want me home quickly... I don't know why" I said, remembering she told me to stay away from him... okay did she find out we are dating, is that why?
"and hmmn Simon, you know we can't have our first date now or go to places now b'cos I'm not fully myself, probably if we can go with Kyle but we can't" I said looking into his eyes.
"I'm sorry we can go out together another day" I told him.

"It's fine, it's just that I miss your old attitude" He said.

"I'm sorry. I still really like you" I don't know when the words escaped my mouth but I guess I said it to assure him that I'm still his.

He smiled.. "Me too! " He said and I smiled abit.


"I can't wait to get home quickly and hear what my mom has gotta to tell me" I said after letting out a deep breathe.

"Yeah, my mom and Dad. What's do you think is between them? " Simon asked me.

"I absolutely have no idea but I know it's more than just getting Mr Gary arrested"

"Yeah, I'mma ask Dad when I get home "

"Good, you're gonna ask your Dad and I'm gonna ask my mom" I said and let the subject die down as Simon brought up another topic.

"I have several plans" He said.

"What plans??" I asked him and he sighed, then stopped working as he faced me.
"I'm thinking of how we are gonna reconcile with Kyle and how to make a perfect friendship with him. Most especially me" He said and added: " A serious friend. I want to be his good friend and I want everything to be settled between us"

"That's a good idea but unfortunately for me I don't know exactly what to do if he still refuses to say a word to me" I frowned.

"Somehow, someday he will"

"I'm still hoping.. "

"Another Plan on my plan list is stopping you from working at the restaurant forever" He said and I looked at him.

"You sound more like a comedian" I scorned at him.

"Ok it sounds like a Joke? But it's no joke. I'm ready to give to you the earning you'll get from the restaurant. I can even tell my dad about it " He said looking serious.

"You know what Simon? Let's get home quickly. We'll talk about this next time " I said, almost stammering and we continued to walk home in Silence.


I entered into the house, Mom opened the door before I knocked on it, Of course, she must have seen me through the window. .. and she was expecting my arrival.

"Hi Mom" I said to her.

I don't even know why she looks so pale.

"He walked you home today" She said instead.

"Yeah" I kinda mumbled.

"Audrey" She called my name when I headed to my room to take off my uniforms before coming back to hear from her.

"Oh Gosh, where should I start from? " She grumbled slapping her forehead.
Oh.. She's already ready to tell me about she and Mr Anderson.

She heaved a deep sigh and wanted to open her mouth to say something when her phone rang.
The new phone she got for me but when I told her that I already had one, she began to use the one she got for me.

📱 "Hello" She picked up the phone and said into it.
📱 "Jeeez, Harry how did you get my number?? "

"I'll return after changing into my nightwears" I mouthed to her and walked to my room.

I throw myself on the bed, lying flat on it - literally try to relax my nerves.
After a while, I stood up; dropped my bag and pulled off my uniform.
I was still on undies when a phone began to ring from a distant - From my bag! My new phone.

I brought it out and stared at the caller ID which showed a bouncing heart shaped ❤. I knew it was Simon and swiped to the receiver.

📱 "Hello Simon" I said into it.

"Whao! You already know how to operate the phone" He teased me 📱

📱 " Seriously, it's easy to pick up just a phone call" I rolled my eyes as if he could see me.

"If you can pick up a phone call, then you definitely can make use of the phone" He said 📱 and I'm sure he heard me hiss slightly.
📱"How are you?"
📱"What, but we just departed. Why are you asking that question?" I asked.
📱 "I just wanna be sure if you are still okay" He said.

📱 "I'm .... Good" I told him.
Half Good, Kyle is still snubbing me. I don't even have his phone number yet.

"You aren't worried about anything or are you? " 📱

📱 "Kyle. You know it" I murmured.

"He will come back to us" Simon assured. 📱

I stared into the space, remembering the one and only Day that I, Kyle and Simon were very intimate, the fun we had, the laughter we shared, one day beautiful memory.
I smiled sadly.

"Audrey are you there? " 📱 Simon's voice interruptted the brief flash back.
I almost forgot that I was on a call and a phone was on my ear.

"Oh yeah. Yes" I stammered.
📱"Okay, so I just wanted to hear your voice again" He said
"Uhm, I'm thirsty, I'll go drink water" I told him.

"Okay but don't hung the call" He said and I giggled.
I stood up from my bed, left my room and headed to the kitchen..When I got to the sitting room, Mom was still having a conversation over the phone that she didn't even notice I passed by and went into the kitchen.

I got to the kitchen, grabbed a glass cup and moved to sink.. Open the tap and let water rush into the cup till it was filled.

I know Simon could hear me drink water..

"Mmmn Audrey, when would you begin to call me sweet lovely names that may drive me crazy. Don't be shocked when I begin to call you some soon 'cos it's also on my plan list" He said.

I was about to snarl at him But my mom conversation with the person she was speaking with over the phone interrupted me, most especially this particular sentence.

"She's your Daughter Harry! And he's your son too. They are gonna break off the immoral relationship. I'm about telling her that you're her father! "

The statement got me hooked, I already drank only quarter of the glass cup, I couldn't drink from the cup anymore. Simon was still speaking but I didn't hear him.. because I was so shocked by the statement she made.

The glass cup fell off my hand and broke into scattered pieces, followed by my Phone.

"SHE'S YOUR DAUGHTER HARRY! AND HE'S YOUR SON TOO. THEY ARE GONNA BREAK OFF THAT IMMORAL RELATIONSHIP. I'M ABOUT TELLING HER THAT YOU'RE HER FATHER! "

MR ANDERSON??
