Dwayne's POV"I'm very much prepared for you " she replied and my face contorted into a small frown.Even as early as now I'm sure this girl will be a lot of trouble.Now I'm more determined than ever to prove to her that I'm more than she is.I let go of her hands forcefully , she picked up her bag ."Thank you for this though" she said with a small smile raising the cheque before she finally walked away.I heard my phone ring , "Mom" was written boldly on the screen." Good evening" I said immediately I answered the call."Dwayne, we need to talk," she replied immediately, ignoring my greetings."I'm still at work , I'll call you once I'm done"."You're still at work?!, What the hell are you still doing there?" she asked."Work?!""I'll be waiting at your house we really need to talk""There's no need for you to go to my house""I'll come over to yours on my way home" I Said."I won't let you deceive me Dwayne, not anymore""You've made this same promise for the last two weeks and y
