This is not Dave, it's Tracy, he is in the bathroom
"this is not Dave, it's Tracy, he is in the bathroom, will let his know as soon as he is out". He heard a female voice, and could immediately relate it to what Amanda had said earlier, he hissed.
Tracy had been watching the drama in awe, she has been really happy to see Dave act in such a manner, she was even more happy to hear of Amanda's accident, she had been acting like she was too strong, and nothing could hurt her, but the moment Dave started giving her cold shoulder all her pride was shattered to dust.
When Dave came back in, she didn't tell Dave she had picked his call, she didn't want to spoil the mood, she also didn't want him to get angry at her, she had been trying really hard to be at her best behavior which means any mistake from her would spoil everything even Mrs Brown had warned her not to create any room for suspicion or quarrel, she should be a submissive partner, and support him on what ever decision he makes.
"Why didn't you call me so I could come help you to wash, you know you are still in pain"
She said to him, trying to be seductive, but it wasn't really working for Dave, she pulled out her hair, and startedassaging it, but still Dave didn't notice her.
He wasn't in the mood, he had succeeded in annoying his inlaws, and he was waiting for their reaction, but their silence was killing him, it was as though he hadn't done anything, he knew he wasn't supposed to call his mother inlaw to tell her about Amanda's accident, but he wanted every person in the family to feel the heat, he was hurt so he wanted to hurt those he felt were responsible, he grabbed his phone to check for any message and just then his phone rang and it was an inpatient Maxwell.
"Hello Max"
Dave said with a mocking tone, which didn't go unnoticed by Maxwell, at that point, Tracy wished the ground would open and swallow her up, she wished she had told him Maxwell had called earlier, she prayed they wouldn't discuss about the earlier call.
If they do discuss it, that would create a rift between them, it was obvious he was still very much I love with Amanda, if only she could get just a little power over him as Amanda does, it would mean a lot to him.
"Hello Dave, thank you so much for the information on my sister, it was really helpful"
That wasn't what Maxwell had planned to say, and even him couldn't understand why he was sounding the way he was sounding, but he noticed that his Dave's tone, that was ready to lash out at him was defeated. He had expected an outburst but he got the opposite.
"So how is she?
He managed to ask hoping his voice didn't give him away. He really wasn't enjoying the turn of events, he wasn't expecting the call to be more like a family call, he wanted it to be a war.
" Well she is fine, you know I cannot be with her at the moment so I left her with Goodluck, while I visited my mum as soon as I heard you called them too"
Now Dave was sure close to having a heart attack, he hadn't expected what he was getting, he was on the loosing part, and it seemed he pushed Amanda right into where she had always wanted to be, he was now praying Amanda didn't tell her family what he did.
"I see you got your self a new mistress, or was it a refurbished one? Oh yes, Tracy, she was the one who picked my call earlier, she sounds like a lovely person, but a used rag is always a used rag no matter how she tries to clean up, I know how many men have slept with her, and are still sleeping with her, you are probably her only hope". Maxwell was using a calm tone to speak, but for Dave, he would have preferred it, if he had been flogged.
He had flunt Tracy, to make Amanda jealous, but they only think he was with someone, almost all the men around have slept with.
Dave still feel he should defend Tracy, knowing that, Maxwell was out to offend him.
Dave was angry now, what right has Maxwell to talk about any woman the way he was talking. Tracy may not be a good or perfect woman, but she was better than Amanda, what ever she did was because she was still single, but Amanda was married and had been shamelessly flirting with her ex boyfriend.
" You are the last person that should be talking about this when your sister, a married woman was busy f**king every dick that came her way, that she even got pregnant without knowing the father"He dropped the first bomb, and waited for it to explode.
It was a bombshell, Maxwell didn't see that coming, Dave silenced him with that statement, he was standing up for his girlfriend. Maxwell knew his sister needed to leave that house.
"You tried to hurt my family, I promise you, I will send you back to the hospital, I will kill you if I have to". He threatened, and didn't want to end the call, so that it doesn't seem as though he was running away.
He waited to see if Dave was still going to say another thing, but all he got was silence, and when he was about to end the call he heard Dave.
"How did I try to hurt your family? Dave asked calmly.
I gave them an information that they should know, and you say I tried to hurt them? Are you saying I should have kept her accident a secret?.
Maxwell didn't want to answer him, he just hissed, but Dave continued, "I will try and remember next time.
Maxwell did like before, didn't answer him.
"Rubbish".
He said and ended the call without giving him room to respond
