“Really?”“Yes,” Arianna responded.“You get yourself worked up over little things a lot,” Brianna said as she rubbed Arianna’s hair with her hands.Arianna gave her mother a tight hug, Brianna removed her hands from her hair and patted her on the back, Arianna could no longer hold her emotions, she let them out by crying.As she broke down, she sobbed like a kid. Brianna held her more tightly while using one hand on her hair while the other was on her back.Brianna didn’t urge Arianna to stop crying, she wanted her to let it all out, Brian watched passionately as the Mother and daughter comforted one another.Arianna soon stopped crying, she let Brianna go as she wiped her tears “It’s alright!” Brianna said smiling.“You should eat before it gets cold,” Brianna said, she stood up to get the food on the dining table for Arianna. She was halfway to the dining when Brian carried the food and hurriedly walked up to her to hand it over.“Thank you! you should eat before it gets cold also
“You don’t think it is?” Brian questioned. “Yes,” Arianna replied and stared at him. “Why?, Did you already have other plans for today?” Brianna asked “No Mum, but after what they did yesterday, I don’t think reporting there again would be a good idea. “About that Ari I assumed we’ve concluded already, would you just want us to give up on the investigation just like that!? Brian said from the front seat of the car where he sat. “And who said who’s giving up on the investigation?” Arianna queried. “You still haven’t informed me all about that transpired between you and the security agencies yesterday” Brianna cuts in. Arianna cleared her throat and explained in detail all that ensued between her, Brian, and the two security agency representatives to Brianna. Brianna was greatly pissed and worried at the same time after Arianna gave her a detailed explanation, “Why won’t the security agencies regard her with the respect she deserves after all she’s Luna, firstly it was the digni
Brian soon came out of his room and he joined both Arianna and Brianna in the kitchen. “Ari, have you concluded how we’re going about the investigation on the truck?” Brian asked as he entered the kitchen. Arianna could sense he was growing more curious about the truck as each day passed by. Arianna knew telling Brian to wait until the next day would make Brian feel she was unbothered about the welfare of the people in the truck. “Let’s at least eat first!” Arianna said facing Brian. “Alright,” Brian replied and left the kitchen for the living room instantly making Arianna think he was upset due to what she had just said. “Excuse me, Mum!” Arianna said and hurriedly rushed out of the kitchen, she was on her way to his room when Brian called her from the sitting room where he sat on the couch. Arianna turned and headed to the living room,” You have something for me?” Brian inquired. “No, not at all” Arianna replied. “Why then were you headed in my room's direction?” Brian asked
It was the next day, a Saturday morning, at exactly 5:30 am the alarm rang which woke Arianna up, without opening her eyes, she rolled to the end of the bed beside it was the alarm, she stretched forth her hands and snoozed the alarm. She rolled back to the middle of the bed and wrapped herself in her pink duvet.Brianna’s alarm had rung also, she didn’t hesitate to snooze the alarm just like Arianna did, she didn’t need to wake up so early after all making breakfast so early wouldn’t be necessary. Brian was the only one who got up at the sound of the alarm, he stood up and went into the shower almost immediately, as soon as he came out he walked up to the standing mirror and began to admire himself.“Little wonder Ari couldn’t resist me,” he said aloud as he smiled.After admiring himself for a while, he walked up to his wardrobe to pick something not too simple to clothe himself in for the day, he finally settled for a vintage shirt and long trousers. Having picked both from the war
As Arianna thought about it, She became a little confused by the whole situation “ I should be the one doing the apology, not the other way round!” She said aloud.“What could have spurred him to apologize?”Arianna read the messages all over again, she had mixed feelings in the process as she liked his choice of words and every bit of it but she didn’t like that she made him so worried over such a petty issue.“I wonder if the lovesick puppy was able to close his eyes throughout the night”“He must have had a sleepless night,” Arianna said aloud with a funny face.“I am a horrible person,” she said and burst into laughter.When Arianna thought she had seen it all, she switched on her mobile data to be sure another murder hadn’t come up right under her nose, she got notifications from her WhatsApp and saw Brian’s name pop up.“Brian again!” She said as she waited for all her messages to load before opening his message. Arianna was so curious as he waited, a few minutes later, she open
“What do you mean by you’re not surprised?” Brian questioned after laughing.“I meant I’m not surprised,” Arianna said as she burst into another round of laughter.Brian stared at her and nodded his head, “it isn’t your fault, how could I forget such a thing like that?” he said with a sarcastic look.“I knew you would forget!” Arianna said and bubbled her mouth afterward.“Haha, that’s not fair,” Brian said in a low tone.“But seriously Brian how could you forget!?” Arianna questioned.“You made me forget!” “How?” Arianna asked, as Brian made his last statement, she had thought he had forgotten due to his worries about her well-being and was expecting him to say just that.“It’s all your fault!” Brian yelled pointing fingers at her.Arianna laughed at him again, “You could at least explain how the fault is mine!” She said as she opened her eyes widely to stare at Brian.“the only reason I forgot was because you were sure I would, it isn’t my fault after all” Brian said as he carried
“Okay Mum,” Arianna said as she jumped out of the couch and made her way into the kitchen, she came back with a mug filled with water.“Here you go Mum,” Arianna said as she handed it over to Brianna, Brian looked at Brianna carefully as she had the mug in the direction of her mouth, he couldn’t wait for her to start letting the cat out of the bag.Brianna finished the water in the cup and took a deep breath “Sorry Mum, you care for another cup?” Arianna asked.“No Ari, I’m okay” Brianna replied smiling.Arianna carried the mug to the kitchen gently while Brianna relaxed her back on the couch “Sorry Mum” Brian said as he looked at her, Brianna stared in return before responding making Brian feel as tho she suspected something was going on between him and Arianna before her arrival, Brian couldn’t withstand the look, he hurriedly looked in the direction of the screen, “Thank you Brian” Brianna replied slowly. Arianna came out of the kitchen smiling, “I hope you’re not too tired” she as
“Yes, we should Mum, Brian is dying of curiosity,” Arianna said.“Do you think he would still be breathing by the time we arrive downstairs?” Brianna joked.“No Mum” Arianna whispered.Both Arianna and Brianna burst into laughter afterward as they both got out of bed.They both made their way to the door when Arianna suddenly stopped by in front of the mirror to check herself out.“I’m so beautiful Mum,” she said as she jumped up.“Yes, you are” Brianna replied.Arianna couldn’t stop smiling in front of the mirror, she winked at the mirror at the same time.“I knew it!” Brianna said after staring at Arianna for a while.“What Mum?” Arianna asked facing Brianna.“There’s a reason behind your sudden cheerfulness” Brianna commented.“What makes you think so Mum?” Arianna asked wearing a frown.“I know you too well Ari, anyways do you care to tell me what it is?” Brianna replied.“I told you earlier Mum! It’s nothing, can’t a baby girl be happy for no reason?” Arianna said with her hands
