I want you to meet my father

Goodluck wasn't comfortable having his aunty at the mission hospital when he could just take her to his father. The man who had taken him in, he had loved him, and had adopted him as a son, he had shown him so much love that he didn't get from his real father, he made him powerful that he was almost unbeatable, but he never bragged about it, he stared as Amanda slept with her head on his thighs.

He had kissed her and it felt good to be the one to make the first move this time, since they reunited it had been her making the move and he knew if he wanted her in his bed screaming his name she wouldn't have hesitated, but he only wanted to be a gentle man and treat her like the princess she was.

He watched as Maxwell came back in, he wasn't looking happy, Goodluck didn't know if it was because Amanda's head was on his thighs, and he was stroking her hair gently or if it was something else, he had told him to be comfortable with him and show his true feelings for Amanda and that was exactly what he was doing.

"I feel like killing that Dave of a guy" Maxwell spoke out in anger, he could hardly catch his breath, he was breathing hard.

"Calm down man, take a chill pill, you look like you have been struck by lightening". Goodluck tried speaking in a teasing time, even though he was really happy, that Maxwell was getting really angry with Dave, as much as he is.

"I cannot calm down, do you know that guy called my mother, and my father, after knowing the condition of my mother, he wants to send her to her grave faster". Goodluck was shocked at what he was saying, but he had promised Amanda that he would not talk about the other girl, so he just kept mute, then Maxwell said.

"He even has the guts to speak ill of my sister, he called my sister names, I wish I can see him, and have him face me, I will surely send him back to the hospital". It was obvious that Maxwell was really angry.

Goodluck was also angry, why won't he be angry, after all Amanda had told him today, he was surely angry.

Goodluck had initially thought Maxwell was angry with him, but he could tell where his angry look was coming from.

"Calling aunty is not enough to get you this angry". He teased, but Maxwell only gave him an angry look.

"What do you mean by that? Maxwell asked, and looks like he could start a fight with him. what had he done this time? Goodluck thought, thinking he was not aware of what Amanda had told him, but he didn't know, that was the main reason for his anger.

Goodluck was trying to keep his cool, he didn't want to add to it, so he didn't say anything, but only allowed him continue, he also wish he could kill Dave for making Amanda shed tears the way she had done today, she was even crying as he kissed her, and he could just feel her tears on his lips, but he was just happy he was the one comforting her.

"What has he done this time? He finally asked, placing Amanda well on the bed, to make her comfortable.

Maxwell looked up at his friend and laughed.

"So you really want to keep the truth from me? He asked, and Goodluck looked confused, not sure of what he was saying.

" I heard everything Goody, you don't have to pretend with me, my sister told you not to tell me, and you are going to listen to her? He paused, and Goodluck looked around him, worried that they might start their quarrel all over again.

Maxwell had just brought it to  his knowledge, that he listened to what they had talked about.

He should have known,  that Maxwell wouldn't be that mature, and just walk away, he had wondered if he had really grown so mature himself , when he had said he was going away to check on aunty, and asking him to stay, he wasn't happy that his alone moment with Amanda had not been between the two of them, so he placed stood up, but noticing that  Amanda's neck, was not placed well, he adjusted her on the bed to make her comfortable before facing Maxwell.

He tried not to show his annoyance.

"So you heard everything huh? He asked, trying really hard not to feel angry.

"If he  have heard everything, that also meant he had seen him kiss her, he wanted to cover his face in shame but the new him just wouldn't flinch.

He thought for a while about the kiss, and wanted to smile, but remebering that another person had seen them too, he sqweezed his face and said, picking the best line at that time.

"So you heard everything, which means you know she doesn't want you to worry. She feels you will worry too much, if you know that Dave brought his ex je to meet her. which means you have to pretend you don't know".

"Should I also pretend as if I don't know that her things are now in the guest room? He asked, and Goodluck refused meeting his eyes, because he knows that there was no way, they could pretend for a long time.

Though somehow, Goodluck could sense, that Amanda was listening to them, though she was snoring lightly, he could still sense, that she was paying attention to them, especially with how loud, they were talking.

"I can not pretend,  i don't know how to,  I already called Dave, and guess what, his girlfriend took the call at first, before him. Amanda is going through a lot in that house and I need to get her out"

Finally someone was speaking his language, his face brightened as he heard the last part of what Maxwell had to say, and he agreed to it immediately by nodding.

"You are so right, I was going to say that to you, but wasn't sure how you would see it, let her move out of that house, with a strange girl in the house now, her life would be in danger, just look at what happened today, what if the accident had been terrible"

He stopped himself from talking further, he couldn't imagine loosing her in anyway, he wanted to keep her safe, but he had something else to tell his friend which he thinks was Paramount at the time.

"Also I want aunty to be moved from this hospital, I really don't see what they are doing here, and I believe she could have more years if she gets the right treatment and manage this Cancer well.

"What are you saying Goody?

I want you to meet my father!
