Arrangements

Ashley and Clara both ate their breakfast in silence and after that Helen came to clear the dinning table while Clara stayed back with Ashley.

Her mother Mrs Jeff had gone out, so she had free time to spend with Ashley as none of her brothers where home either.

"So Aunt Ashley, I was meaning to ask you, When will the marriage ceremony be done, Since you're already leaving by weekend?" Clara questioned while Ashley smiled as she kept staring at the television screen watching what was displaying.

"I don't know yet Clara, Is not like I don't want to marry your brother, but the date hasn't yet been fixed." Ashley told her as she sat up properly.

"Why?, Don't you like my brother?, His actually a nice person and I like you too," Clara told her in a lowered voice and Ashley only smiled.

After a while of watching the television in silence Ashley said, "I do like him, but you see, Marriage is a complex union and I need to give it a proper thought before I say I do to him, Don't worry, we will still be in contact with eachother remember we're still family friends," Ashley told Clara seeing her worried face.

"Okay that mean I will collect you contact, so I can always call you back when you return. How many sisters and brothers do you have?" Clara questioned

"Just one sister and me," Ashley responded to the sweet cute girl.

"Okay." Clara kept mute and they both continued watching the television, later Ashley stood up and went inside her room to bring out her phone and laptop, she came out back and show her little sister to Clara whom beamed staring at the beauty model that was on bikini.

"Wow, your sister is so cute, Is she a model, I also want to be a model and video vixen when I grow up," Clara said and Ashley only smiled.

"What do you do before you came here to live with big brother Dave?" Clara questioned and Ashley smiled.

"I wrestle and train hard like a man." Ashley did her arms muscle to pump up and Clara's jaw dropped.

"You can fight?" she questioned Ashley.

"Sure, That's what I do for a living fighting. I will soon enroll for a professional boxing class," Ashley said and Clara continued to stare at her in disbelief.

"Do women also fight?" She asked Ashley and Ashley bursted out laughing again.

"Yes, to protect yourself from men. You see some of these men can be evil, but when you're strong they cannot deal with you."

Clara swallowed not asking anything next.

"Here's my phone number in case you wanna call me when I finally go back home, I will definitely miss you," Ashley told her as they both sat on a long couch in Dave's parlour.

"Me too I will," Clara collected the written paper note and kept it in her trouser side pocket as she was putting on a red shirt and black trousers while Ashley was putting on a short gown.

Ashley continue typing on her laptop as she was chatting with one of her BFF, while Clara relaxed back on the couch watching the television. Tired she stood up and told Ashley, "Am leaving now aunt, am feeling sleepy, I will see you later."

"Okay, bye sweetheart," Ashley waved her bye as she kept on chatting with her BFF, Benita on her Laptop.

"You wouldn't believe it girl?" Ashley texted her friend as they were both chatting expressing how they missed eachother.

"Believe what Ashley?. Now you tell me when will you be coming back home, have missed you," Benita replied as Lora was already married and with a child

"Soon girl, not to worry when am back I will give you the full gist," Ashley texted her back.

"Okay, that reminds me, Your brother actually came to my house like 3weeks ago demanding to see you and I told him you weren't in my place. Where did you go too?. I told him then but he refused and badged into my house searching everywhere for you with his boys .." Benita texted back

"Sorry girl, more reason why I said when am back I will come see you. I have a lot of gist for you, so you keep me updated too " Ashley texted back and she responded, "I don't have any updates now, you know am into acting so no serious relationship or gist from my side."

"Okay, when we get to see, bye.." Ashley ended the chat and sighed. She missed her girlfriend and she planned on visiting Benita as soon as she gets back home to her father's house.

Benita was a bad girl and they had been friend since college days. Benita was the one whom mostly told her about men and all that she has been missing even though she wasn't interested in the conversation then. But since when Lora got married, there friendship bond reduced making the rest of them wanting to get married as Lora's husband was so nice and sweet to her.

She would have considered marrying a man like Lora's husband but she didn't give any man a chance to flirt with her, or for her to even get to know the kind of men they were, now she was regretting as she didn't like the kind of life and business Dave does.

Ashley sighed and finally switched of her laptop, she decided to return back to her room to pack her bag and luggages as she will be going back home in three days time.

She thought about all the sweet moment she had with Dave and she sighed.

She walked into her room and kept her laptop down. looking around her room, she remembered she didn't come with anything to his house except her black leather jacket and black trouser and boot. She sighed as she brought out her box of cloth that Helen bought for her on Dave's orders.

She doesn't even used to wear feminine wears so as to hide her God given package, now she does.

Ashley sighed as she started folding all the clothes that Helen had bought. She wanted to leave it all and returned back home with only her black boot, black trouser and leather jacket but she liked the clothes and decided to take all with her.

.After she was thru packing all her things she fall back to her bed and drifted to sleep as she was so tired and worried.

Dave drove back to the blacks cooperative. He parked at the company's garage and went to the black temple. As soon as he stepped in, Steve came to give him updates about the mission he assigned him to do.

"Boss I discovered Mr Tony mansion, but I cannot go in as the mansion is heavily guarded by Norman's men," Steve said as he walked behind Dave whom walked into their hall and stopped while the rest of his men in the hall stood up and greeted him.

"Welcome Boss!" and Dave only gave a simple nod to them, while they walked out from the hall excusing Dave to be left alone with Steve.

"How are you so sure that the mansion belongs to Tony, although the spy made mention the location but how are you sure the people living inside are the Bright family?" Dave questioned him as he sat down back on his throne seat.

"Boss, I saw multiple cars drove into that mansion, especially last week, they did a party there as I saw them taking in strippers and hot beautiful girls, but I don't know where they brought them from.." Steve replied and Dave eyebrows furrowed.

"Hmm, so how do we strike in and attack them?." Dave questioned.

"I don't know boss, maybe blowing up the whole place with bomb," Steve suggested.

"No!" Dave exclaimed as he raised his left hand up in a warning.

"Don't try anything of such. Since they haven't attacked us yet, leave them to me, I will take over the matter from there and don't lunch any form of attack on them," Dave said.

"Okay boss" Steve replied, but as he turned to leave, Dave asked him, "What of Mark?."

"He's at the company boss."

"Okay, you can leave." Dave dismissed him, and he thought of a better plan to strike Norman. He was still his half brother and older brother so he had to be careful in attacking him.
