Finally, they are all alone again
When Goodluck was finally able to get Amanda outside the house, with her stubbornness, Maxwell exchanged glances with Joy, who looked as confused as he.
That was when their team, finally got a chance to score a goal, and still, Goodluck was untouched by it, he was interested in getting Amanda out of there, that seem to be the only thing that interest him right from time, when he finally got up to race after them, Joy also raced after Maxwell, she could tell that he is worried about her sister, she wouldn't want him to end up fighting his friend, but on a second thought, she knew he wouldn't, they already had such drama once, and wouldn't want to repeat it again.
When she heard the story of their past from Maxwell, he wept that day in regret, as he still feels bad, about almost killing his friend, who just let him win, because if he had fought back, there is no way, he would have had the chance to throw even a blow at him, so she not only race after Maxwell, but after her friend, she wanted to ask her questions before they left.
Thanks to their wide compound, that wouldn't allow them leave immediately, they had to run a while, before getting close to them, as if they had left an hour ago.
When they finally caught up with them just before he opened the car, Maxwell, pulled his friend by the hand. Goodluck turned to face him, giving him a deadly stare, but looking back into his friend's eye, he knew he just wanted to release his sister from his hold.
Maxwell nonverbally spoke to Goodluck with his eyes, and they moved miles away from her.
Goodluck was planning to respond angrily to Maxwell, if he annoys him, but what he said first, shocked him.
"Whatever you do, do not let her go to that house"
Goodluck thought he wanted to scold him for pulling a pregnant woman so harshly, but he was just there to speak his mind.
"I won't let her go there". He says, feeling happy that someone is on his side.
He didn't want her to go anywhere near that family, but Amanda was surely a stubborn girl, she was carrying out her threat, but he wasn't liking it anymore.
"But what is all that question she is asking about?
He asked, and Goodluck took his time to explain that Amanda was just trying to get him angry on purpose.
They both turned to look at the women that mattered to them gist and laugh, as if nothing had happened.
Joy couldn't help but laugh at the very pregnant Amanda playing tricks on her man.
"What was that all about?
She asked when she got a hold of herself.
"I told you I was going to punish him, I have just began, I am not done with him yet, he is going to cry, even when we get home, I will continue playing tricks on him, as a matter of fact, I have a plan to make a fake call, so he thinks that it is Dave that is calling".
Joy wanted to laugh, but she just have to tell her what she has in mind with a serious tone, as she doesn't quite agree, that she should go further with the stunt, she was pulling.
"Well you have punished him enough, you have to stop, you are going to give that man a heart attack"
"Is that why he should pull me out like that, he almost ripped my arms off". She explained with the same serious tone.
"Well you know your man is possessive, he is just trying to be calm, just don't punish him too much, now that I know it's only a joke, I can rest. But don't ever think of going to Dave ever again"
"Well I am not thinking of that, it's just that Dave actually said he needed to see me urgently, but Goodluck refused, he said unless he was with me. You know I tell him everything, and you know I really love Goodluck right?
Joy nodded her head, smiling happily as at her friend.
"Maxwell you seem over worried about her visit to her husband" Goodluck said, wanting to know why he looked so scared.
"Yes I am, aren't you? Maxwell asked, wondering what sort of question he was asking.
"I am but, if she insists I might just let her" Goodluck tells him truthfully.
"Do not allow her". Maxwell warned again, then added.
what if Dave tells her everything, about Sonia and the reason behind her death, what if she gets into early labour at his place. How do you plan to explain to her that you have known about her mystery pregnancy all this while and did not tell her.
Do you think she would buy your excuse of wanting to save her from emotionally trauma?
There was silence between them, as Goodluck seem to be thinking deep about what his friend just said, so he added.
Do not let her go there, don't say I didn't tell you.
Goodluck nodded and moved back to his car, then Maxwell called him back.
"Hey Goody!
Goodluck turned, wondering why Maxwell had called him back, and why he was shouting.
" You have heard what I said, And please do not break my sister's arm, I may not be so nice next time".
All could hear him and Amanda was so happy at the warning, but didn't see hers coming.
'and you Amanda, don't ever let me hear you say you are going to see Dave or anybody from that family again, you are forbidden to go anywhere near that house nor their family members. If you must, then we all must be there with you'
Amanda opened her mouth to object, but her brother shut her up with his hands raised . She knew Goodluck have won, his brother was supporting Goodluck and now she felt like the victim, she hugged Joy, faking anger.
"Take care of my brother please" she said, and eyed her brother, but Joy was not worried, about that.
Joy was overwhelmed to hear her give her permission for them to continue in that simple statement made, she nodded her head as she watch her get in the passengers seat. Joy moved slowly towards Maxwell and held his waist, finally they were alone again. And now they could pick up from where they left off.
