what brother?

getting back in, she went back to join her parent.

Austin: what do you think of him? he asked as soon as Lillian sat beside him

Lillian seems to misunderstood her father's question and replied, dad he is perfect I like him, she said smiling sweetly

Austin: good, you should get to know him and learn a few things from him, he will make a good brother.

hearing the part brother, Lillian smile froze, what do you mean by brother, he look at his father supprised, is he your son? I thought am your only child

Austin laugh at her words, he is not my biological son, but he is like a son to me

hearing this she heave a sigh of relief, what brother then? we are not related so he is just a normal guy to me.

Esther who has been looking at them smiled, she understood what her daughter is driving at, this girl never cease to amaze me, did she really think her father will ask her question about man at this young age of hers? she thought to herself.

Austin look at her daughter and smile , but it never crosses his mind that behind those word of hers were some heavy meaning, he just choose not to argue since he knew he wouldn't win anyway.

John submit his credentials to some companys, after some few interviews he got a job within the month.

as expected he keep thinking of Lillian, he regret not giving her his number, the girl keep appearing in his thought, even after telling himself that it's a bad idea to harbour feelings for her, he still find himself smiling whenever he thought of her.

after a week or two his phone rang, he look at it and saw an unknown number, picking it he felt his heart beat fast at the voice he heard,

caller: hello hubby

"..."

caller: why are you mute? don't tell me you are still playing hard to get

"...."

caller: it's me Lilly, she said thinking maybe her tricks didn't work and he did not think of her as she thought.

John: I know

Lilly: oh! thank goodness, here I thought you have lost your tongue

John: why are you calling?

Lilly: isn't it obvious? have missed you and moreover do I need to have reasons before calling my husband?

John: is that how you miss all the male guest that visit your house? he asked to clear the doubt in his mind, what if she's only joking around with boys, the girl is totally spoilt after all.

"....."

John: hello? are you there?

Lilly: are you jealous?

John: I just want to know

Lilly: since you aren't denying, I would take that as a yes, and no I don't have interest in the male guest, apart from my love, you are the only one am interested in.

John: he frown at the mention of her love, your love?

Lilly: yes, but don't worry, I might not be able to have him but am sure I will have you

John: why are you so sure? he asked still feeling slightly annoyed by the word her love

Lilly: if you want to know let meet up, have missed your face, i will tell you then

John: am busy

Lilly: you work on weekends too? common stop being a pussy

John: what kind of girl are you?

Lilly: the type that got into your head and your heart.

John: where is your pride as a lady? you can't just approach random guy like this, it's dangerous,

Lilly: what girl will care about stupid pride when a handsome guy like you appear in front of them.

John: what if am a bad guy

Lilly: then we should worry about our future kids, bad kids will be hard to deal with

John: you! stop being unreasonable, what kid what husband, you should focus more on your studies, when you are through with secondary school then you can start thinking like this, how did you even manage to concentrate in class with this type of brain of yours.

unknown to her the word her love is still troubling his mind.

Lilly : are you saying I should forget you and face my studies?

John: NO

Lilly: no what?

John: don't forget me, just don't go around playing around with boys like this.

Lilly smile to herself, the boy is not as tough as he seem, if you agree to date me I might stop, you know, I don't have a boyfriend yet and I might end up meeting someone super handsome and decide to switch since you are playing hard to get.

"....."

Lilly: so, what do you say?

John: let meet up.
