THE ILLITERATE BABYSITTER - CHAPTER 31&32
[ Finally met ]
“You just spoke right English?”Xavier said.
“You heard right”June said and he smiled, jumping on the bed.
“You left me without caring if I’m gonna be fine”he said after a minute of silence.
“I’m speechless right now”she said and he smiled.
“I kept seeing you in the house though you’re not here but I could see you…..”he stopped talking to hear what she would say.
“You really missed me?”she said more like a question.
“I still do, when are you coming?”he asked.
“Would I still come….”
“You can’t leave me here alone, I didn’t even wanna sit for my exam, I did it cause you might be angry if I don’t”he said, he could hear her laugh.
“You sound like a little child right now”she said.
“You said I’m a small pikin, so I am, just for you though”he said.
“How’s your health?”she asked.
“Getting better, but if I don’t see you it might grow worse”he said.
“Don’t say that”
“Would you come visit at least?”he asked.
“Should I?”
“You haven’t given me a reply”he said.
“Should I say it now?”
“No no, I want to see you while you say it. I love you so badly”he said and hanged up before she could say a thing.
He smiled instantly, staring at his phone, then he began hitting his leg on the bed excitedly as he blushed.
“I heard her voice!”
**
“Hmm, you’re so excited”Grace said as she took her phone.
“It’s nice hearing his voice”June said.
“I know right, you’d have missed him more than others”
“Maybe”
Grace shaked the message of Ma Angel. *Don’t give June the phone if someone called to speak with her*she read and gasped silently.
“I’ll be back”she stood up and June nodded.
Grace walked far from June before dialing Ma Angel’s line.
“I saw your message”she said.
“You didn’t allow her speak to him right?”
“Yes, she wasn’t even with me at that time”she said.
“Okay”
Grace sighed as the call disconnected. “Don’t even know if I’m on the right spot”she muttered before walking back to June.
**
Xavier has tried the number countless times but it’s not going through. He’s done with his exams and they’re planning to leave for Nigeria this night. At least they’ll be able to trace the contact.
Noah and Mimi walked in.
“You’re ready?”Noah asked.
“Yes”Xavier said.
“As planned, you have to make it look normal”Noah said as they walked out.
With Mimi car, in which her driver drove, they got to Ma Angel’s penthouse.
“Be quick”Mimi said and Xavier came down.
**
Ma Angel was having dinner when Xavier got in.
“Surprised you came”she said without standing.
“I’m going on a vacation with my friends”he said.
“Thought you wouldn’t tell me, heard it from Noah’s dad”she said as she kept eating.
“Since you know I’ll take my leave”he turned.
“Don’t think of running away, I’m too too old to search for you”she said and he turned to look at her.
Old indeed.
“You taught me well so you shouldn’t worry”he said and finally walked away.
He got in the car and it drove to the airport. Finch was already waiting.
“I had to wait for ten minutes”he said as they got to him.
“So far the plane didn’t leave, it’s cool”Xavier said.
“Oh wow!”
“Let’s not argue now”Mimi groaned.
“Exactly”Finch said.
“The plane is about to take off guys!”Noah said and they began walking to the plane.
**
“You’re alright?”Grace walked to the living room to see June reading a book
“Yes”
“I wanna tell you something”Grace said.
“Something happened?”she dropped the book to face her.
“Not really, I’m just feeling guilty”Grace said.
“On what?”she asked.
“You keep asking if Xavier has called and I said no, well he called countless times but I lied. Ma Angel never wanted you both to talk”Grace said.
“Oh….”
“I’m sorry”
“It’s okay, you’re just doing your job, thanks for letting me know”she said and Grace smiled.
“Now I feel good”Grace sighed and the door bell rang.
“Ordered something?”Grace asked.
“No”she said.
“I’ll check”Grace stood up and she followed.
Grace opened the door but strange faces was what she saw.
“Who are….”Grace was still talking when June showed up and Mimi screamed, frighting Grace.
“June!!!!!!”she pushed Grace and hugged June tightly. The rest got in while Grace shut the door.
“I missed you!”Mimi cried.
“I’m feeling blessed now”June muttered and Mimi let go but hugged her again before letting go.
“You’re really crying?”June cleaned her tears with her palm.
“Off course, we were just getting to be friends and you disappeared”Mimi sniffed.
“I’m sorry”
“Let’s be best of friends forever”Mimi said and she chuckled.
“I mean it”
“Fine, best of friends forever”she said and they hugged once again.
Mimi let go of her and Finch walked to her.
“I think I’m the one who needs to learn your language”he said and she smiled.
“I’ll be glad to teach you”she said and stretched her hands while he hugged her.
“I became friends with Xavier like you wanted so we’re good and I really miss you”he said while they hugged.
“I missed you too, especially our times together”she said and a drop of tears fell from Finch but he whipped it off.
He let go of her and Noah walked to her.
“Hey playboy”she said.
“Playboy? Where did you learn that from?”he said.
“I told Grace about how you are and she described you as a playboy”she said and he looked at Grace then to hear again.
“You look more beautiful”he said and she smiled.
“Let’s hug already”he hugged her and she did same. Both disengaged from the hug, now it’s remaining only Xavier.
She stared at him. His heart was beating as fast as a running horse.
She smiled and that alone increased it.
“Seems you didn’t miss me like you claim”she said with smiles but he stood his ground, still staring at her.
“What? I changed a lot?”she asked but he still didn’t move so she began walking to him.
“Small pikin”she said when it was just two more steps to him and he smiled. Completing the two more steps.
“I miss those words”he said.
“I remembered you said my language is disgusting same with…..”he placed a finger on her lip, stopping her from completing her words.
“I take it back”he said and she smiled.
“You look cute”she smiled more and that was all he needs.
“Don’t push me or I’m gonna die for real”he muttered and took his finger slowly but his lip took over. His lips on hers as he kissed her with hers closed but hers was opened.
He broke it, staring. “Kiss me back please”he said and captured her lips again, kissing her passionately and she kissed him back slowly.
