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
Brianna spoke, “After I walked up to her just to satisfy my curiosity, I stood at her front to challenge her as to what she was doing there, but she just ignored me as if no one was right in front of her, I raised my voice as I soon got angry, only for her to walk out in front of me and she walked up to another customer”.“She did all that!” Arianna cuts in.“Yes she did all that and more” Brianna replied.“You haven’t allowed Mother to reply to my question Ari” Brian cried out.Arianna frowned at him the moment he stopped talking “I’m sorry” he said.“I didn’t mean to interrupt, I was only surprised!” Arianna said.“Back to your question Brian, I assumed the person in question was her lookalike as the maid I know wouldn’t behave irrationally towards me after all I’ve done nothing to deserve that from her” “I walked up to another waitress to place my order, I was done placing my order and I waited patiently for it to be packed, to my greatest surprise I heard a customer who had lunch
“I’ve been thinking of that too,” Brianna said. “So you’d be going later today?” Arianna inquired. “I think tomorrow would be better,” Brianna said. “Sunday? I don’t think our Doctor would be on seat tomorrow” Arianna remarked. “If he isn’t, I’d call him to schedule an appointment” Brianna replied. “Why not just go today Mum?” Arianna asked. “I’m too tired to do so Ari! Do not bother me,” Brianna said with a funny face. “But you just finished resting Mum!” Arianna yelled. “That doesn’t imply I put myself through another stress again” Brianna replied snappishly. “I think I know what to do, I’d invite the Doctor right away,” Arianna said “That won’t be necessary Ari “It would, I can’t believe I forgot you haven’t been doing your medical checkups regularly, I can’t afford you being sick at this point. “That still doesn’t insinuate you call the Doctor impromptu, he might have plans for the day already and you know Doctor Henry wouldn’t want to say no” Brianna explained. “That
