As you saw or should I say have read that the drama does not continue, but what does continue is their relationship which has been made official, photos of them being together and pretending to run away from their imaginary paparazzi can be seen in the popular magazine close to your home maybe at your local spaza shop because those guys have everything these days, yes this day was turning into quite a favourable spectacle for our gradually growing competent little pale hero, Jack Peterson, a round of applause for the him, no…no..do not just carry on reading, just a little tap of the hands or at least click your index finger and thumb together, like they do in those Jazz or poetry or Jazz/poetry reading clubs, I am not even sure if those still exist, back to the story, Jack and Susan hugged each other for a considerably long time, to the point where sweat stains started to form on points of contact, this was truly a joys moment for the actors which starred in the brief show, Young lovers love, not only for them but also for his fellow work colleague, this was truly a heartfelt and tear jerking moment for them, since Jack is the first employee to have an actual girlfriend since they have started.

Completely engrossed by this sentimental moment and incredible achievement by a worker, who they were sure, he was going to die alone, they forgot that they were running a bakery, everyone was busy watching the drama outside that they had forgotten the bead in the oven and that their customers in need of service and there was no one guarding the cash register and some customers are already growing quite curious about the bad service, if you know what I mean.

The smell of burning bread was already starting to conquer the room and tickling nose hairs, but as usual one was waiting for the other to make a move.

'Arnold, I think your bread is burning.'

'Do not think, I do not see what you are trying to do, James, you sneaky little fellow.'

'What are you on about?'

'You are trying to get me to move from my place, so you can invade it.'

'No, that is not it, I am just warning you that your bread is about to burn, because it is your responsibility.'

'I do not own this shop, so technically it is not my responsibility, boom!, case closed.'

Ring, Ping clang, sound of bread pan hitting a hard surface.

'Wow, Arnold, that was fast, it felt like you hardly moved.'

'That was not me, I may be stupid but not that stupid to leave my place.'

'Waldo, you?'

'No.'

'Lesly?'

'No.'

'Mario?'

'No.'

'Myself?'

Everyone: 'No'

'Phew, I got here just in time, otherwise you would have turned into charcoal.'

'Guys what is that smell?'

'It is sweet.'

'Almost smells like a female, no.. it is female.'

All the men turned their heads at the same time.

'Who are you?'

Important notice: Dear reader whenever you read this character's lines, please use a French accent, for the writer cannot write in French or write in a French accent, thank you for your compliance.

'My name is Charlotte Bonate, born and raised in La Pairie in France.'

'You're a girl.'

Before the message could reach their other head, Waldo ran to the girl, took out his crucifix and start throwing garlic rolls at them.

'BACK!, BACK! , you vile beasts, madam are you mad, how can you come here unarmed?'

'No, I am eccentric!', then she smile broadly.

Waldo sighed heavily, causing his shoulders and head to sink, 'Another one.'

'Excuse me, my mysterious hero, are you the boss here?'

'Yes.'

'Yay!, wonderful, I am kind of new in town so I was wondering if you had any job vacancies?'

'I knew it, it is always me, I guess, I have no choice, after all you seem special.'

'Special?'

'Yes, like them.' Waldo tilted his head towards the men.

'I do not understand.'

'Do not stress about it, only the normal ones will, do you have a place to stay?'

'No.'

'I thought so, I do not even know why I asked, there is an extra store room at the back which we do not use much, if you can clean it, then it is yours, I will fix the lock later, by the way do you have a bible?'

'No.'

'I will get you one of those too, trust me, you are going to need it and a big wooden cross too.'

'Does that mean I am hired.'

'Like I said, I honestly do not have any choice, God knows what will happen to you, if I let you walk out of here, do you know how to bake?'

'Yes and cook!'

'Great…uhm..if you can place yourself somewhere and work at and see what kind of new products you can contribute to the shop.'

'Yes!, mister may I know your name?'

'Waldo, just Waldo, I do not need to introduce these guys, I am pretty sure they will do that by themselves once I leave, I am going to the hardware store to get you a new door lock, maybe I should get some heavy duty chains, better safe then sorry.'

'Could you degrade us anymore?', Arnold asked.

'Am I not allowed to have a little bit of fun too, I like to make you guys sound like wild animals, mademoiselle please go to your room, barricade your door and keep this cross with you, because once I leave, there will be no protection against the dark forces and creatures that haunt this shop.'

'Geez, this guy.'

Waldo broke out in a childlike laughter, 'I am sorry, sometimes I crack myself up, bye then.'

He placed the crucifix in her hand and headed down the stairs, his Santa clause laughter echoing long after he left.

'Looks like I am going to enjoy working here.'

'Only time will tell, by the way my name is James..'

'I am Arnold, this is Mario and Lesly and our youngest team member is outside, his name is Jack, he is quite a Casanova, better stay away from him, it is for your own safety.'

'I will be sure to keep my guard up around him.'

'Madame, my I show you to your room?'

'Relax Mario, you have not even taken her out for dinner and I thought James lacked self control.'

'Brother L, it seems we have our next target to assassinate.'

'Got you brother M, I will do it right now.'

'Okay!, Okay, My God sir, tough crowd.'

'Miss Bonate, do you have any luggage?'

'No.'

'Lesly please go to the clothing store and by this lady some clothes and some under garments.'

'No..no, that is really..'

'Madame, you work here now, so that automatically qualifies you as family and in this family we take care of each other, come hell or high water, we will stand by you one hundred percent, until the bitter end.'

'That was beautiful Mario.'

'Just shut up Arnold!', James shouted

Outside, Jack and Susan were still hugging, one could swear they were going to melt into each other, not caring about the strange character which was just employed which might or is going to turn his life upside down.

'When is this going to stop, their some single people, you are making jealous.'

'I am sorry Mr Waldo.'

'It is alright, young love, it is beautiful, Jack I am leaving for the hardware store, please keep an eye on the bakery, while I am gone.'

'Yes Sir!'

'What has gotten into you, I swear there is something in the water here.'

Waldo marched on but before he closed the door behind him he turned around to remind Susan of something import.

'Susan, remember now, the birds sings at night and…'

'The mosquitoes sleeps all day.'

'Good girl.'

He closed the door behind him and left.

'What was that all about?', Jack asked.

'Drugs'

'What!'

'Nothing, you do not need to know everything.'

'Yes, Jack, you do not need to be so clingy and you wonder why you have been single for so long.'

'What do you know Julia, in any case, this is not the end of the tour I still have one more place I would like to show you before the day ends and we all have to go home, I just hope he is not there.'

'Who?'

'Where?'

'Do not worry about the details, what I can assure you is that it will take your breath away.'

'I am worried now sister, I just want you to know, if I die or I disappear and get killed later, the prime suspect and the one who properly committed it was none other then your cheap boyfriend Jack Peterson.'

'Cheap, why I ought to push you down, when I get the chance.'

'See!, See!, he is planning to kill me, oh God, why do I have to die by the hands of this pale loser, A gang banger or grass cutter would have been far better, I would even consider a drive by.'

'You know what!....'

'Hara, Hara, you must be the youngest employees, chick magnet Jack Peterson, you are quite a vaguely handsome man.', A voice spoke from behind them.

'Why, thank you.', Jack said, grateful for whatever praise he can get.

'Caught cheating in the first few minutes of your relationship have you no shame, you cannot keep your hands to yourself can you?', Julia asked, hoping for a break up.

'Jack who is this?'

'Susan, I swear…, '

'I am Charolette Bonate, it is a pleasure meeting you.'

'An older one, I always had a feeling that he had a thing for older women, just look at that old lady from the book slash library store, did you see how friendly he was with her, some might say over friendly, now there is one thing we know for sure….'

'Quite Julia!, you making everything…'

'THIS BOY LIKES THEM MILFS!', Julia shouted.

Charlotte broke out into laughter, a raw of laughter also could be heard from the audience up stairs.

'Who are you, you are the smallest but you have the biggest mouth, are you two siblings?'

'Miss, I do not know who you are and obviously you do have a good eyes for beauty since you are quite something to look at, how old are you, sorry, that was not the point of my, aahahammm, I think I just got something stuck in my throat, the point I was trying to make before I was distracted by an indecent fly, do not think that I will not sit, I mean stand here and be insulted by people saying that I am related to this piece of trash human being.'

'Jack!'

'I am sorry Susan but the tongue speaks what the heart feels.'

'Jack, that actually hurt Jack, like it cut deep man, it felt physical.'

'Okay, I am sorry, I did not mean to hurt your feelings for real sometimes, I just get carried away, I really am so sorry Julia.'

'It is alright, your heartfelt apology, healed my heart.'

'Aww, your so sweet do you want a hug?'

'Yes,'

'Then come here!'

Julia ran into his arms and the two stood there embracing each other deeply.

'Are you sure that they are not related?'

'Huh?'

'I said, are you sure that they are not related?'

'I…I really am not understanding anything, maybe the grass is taking quite an effect on me, it could become a problem later in the future, I need help, you see this right,.. you seeing this?', Susan said, with a panic look on her face.

'Yes, I am.., are you okay, is there a problem, do you want me to call anyone for you?'

'No…No…, I am okay, it is just what I am seeing , is it just beyond my brains ability to process, to answer your question, no they are not related, I am her elder sister Susan, it is judgement day?'

'No, no I do not think so, maybe you need to sit down for a little while, it is a quite hot out here, actually it is not but I think that is what I am suppose to say when people are acting all weird.'

'This is the end of the world and I have not even been to the city yet.'

'It is not the end and the city is nothing special, it is just an overcrowded place, where everyone is trying to feed the massive rat like family, dirty streets and sexually frustrated lonely business men, who entertain themselves when they do not get a lady of the nights, but man they are expensive.'

'You seem to know a lot about that.', Susan said looking as if she is going to pass out any time soon.

'Oh, yes, I have been through this world, from the left, right, center back, center middle, center, center, you name it, I have been it.'

'Stripper?'

'Been that, done that, let me tell you something, little Suzy girl, sometimes in life, what we think we want is not always, what we want, so rather take what you need if you still have savings left on the side and use it wisely, then to gamble it out on your first go.'

'Speaking from personal experience?'

'Yes, how did you know?'

'I took a lucky guess?'

'Say how old are you?'

'Thirteen'

'Dammit!, you still are too young, there goes my pimping days.'

'Okay,I think I am all good, how about we both walk around until we find something suspicious so it can create a climax.'

'Sounds good to me, this scene has been dragging on for a while now.'

'Tell me about it, can you two stop hugging now we have a climax to building, Jack go stand where you need.'

'Yes, Miss Bonate.'

'Sorry but I did not get your names?'

'My name is Susan..'

'And I am Julia.'

'And we are the Gibson sisters.'

'BOOO!'

Miss Bonate broke out into an hysterical laughter

'You suck, Jack!'

'No..No…, that was quite good, okay guys let's get this scene done, I have a room to clean.'

'Yes, madam.'

After the little scenario which was used to introduce Charllotte Bonate, it was time to continue the story, everyone left the shop and followed their little pale tour guide into the forest of course since there was no social media and adult videos around, mans' intentions were not as questionable as they are today or maybe they did not see Jack as a threat at all.

' Is anyone alarmed by this, we are following a boy, that looks like Dracula's daughter into a deserted, dark forest, where no one will hear as scream.', Julia aked.

'You worry too much, what is he going to do, cough us to death, hahahahaha, just look at him, a mosquito, is more of a threat them him, I do not mean that in a bad way, youngest member of the baking team Jack Peterson.', Charollotee said.

'No, problem, I have no issue being seen as a nice fluffy rabbit.'

'No, I think you misunderstand me, I said less then a mosquito.'

'Burrnnn!, I think you finally found your match!.' Julia said

'If, guys stop don't insulting me, I will physically turn you around and you all will go home, sad and disappointed, with no refunds, do you get me!'

'Oh, I think you made him mad, look at his face, it looks like pink French polony.'

'Jack, dear, calm down, you might suffer from a heart attack or stroke, it is very hot out here.' Said Susan patting him on the back.

'Yes, I think we should stop Julia and get serious, put your game face on girls otherwise, father might send us back home.'

All the girls indulged in his misery, laughing out loud, (LOL)

'Susan you too?'

'I am sorry, if it is funny, it is funny but the most important thing to remember is sometimes you have to laugh at yourself even if others are laughing at you, if you laugh, the whole world laughs with you, if you cry, you cry alone.'

'That is beautiful stuff right there, beautiful man, come here and give me a hug.',

'Can I?'

'Yes of course.'

Susan ran into Charlotte Bonate's arms, like a woman from a seventy's movies, the old sunflower dress, gray filming and all.

'Can I get in on some of the action?'

'No!'

'What a shameless man.'

'Women only, it is international womens' day.'

NB : this page or pages was written on international women's day at exactly 5: 45pm on the 8th of March, for those who do not know.

'Enough of the sentimental, stuff, do not ask me how, we are just here, just close your eyes, it is time for the big reveal.'

'No way!, I am going to trust Dracula's niece over here.'

'Just calm down Julia.'

'Your sister is right, you should learn to go with the flow.'

'It seems to me you have been going with the flow.'

'Excuse me?'

'Nothing, I said that, I can probably have no choice but to go, since my peers are pressuring me to do something, I really do not want to, I am pretty sure that this is going to become a problem for the youth of our society, which could lead to drug abuse and possible heinous crimes, which will inevitably cause society to collapse slowly.'

'So, you can fore tell the future now, what kind of witchcraft do you practice?'

'Shut up Jack…'

'Come on you two, Jack do not forget that you are the one in charge here and you are also causing delays.' Charlotte said.

'I am sorry ladies and one other, we are experiencing some difficulties, due to some unidentified human like species that does not know how to respect authority, please commence in closing your eyes and leave the rest to me, have faith in your tour guide, prepare yourself for you are about to enter into a place where dreams come true.

The girls closed their eyes and took each other's hands, of course when Charlotte and Susan closed their eyes, Jack and Julia kept theirs open and exchanged some silent foul words which you will not find in the dictionary as well as some illegal hands sign which was a reference to those words.'

'When are you ever going to stop?', Susan asked.

'When she dies.'

'Or him.'

'I really need a hit of grass or some horse tranquilizer, cravings man.'

Everyone turned and looked at Susan.

'What?'

'Nothing'

'Then can we please continue?'

'Hai!, close your eyes and take my hand, not you Julia, I was talking to your sister, it seems to me you like grabbing things.'

'You are the worst.'

'I am just going to ignore that by saying I am going to ignore that, so please Susan take my hand and you too Miss Bonate, Julia you on the end, hopefully you get dragged away by an wild animal.'

No comment came from Julia and the group finally, led by Jack went into the secret/epic hangout only known to him.

'Here we are!'

'Well, that was quick.'

'Julia, stop hogging my spot light, here we are, open your eyes and witness the breath taking beauty.'

'Wow!, Who knew that this place was right under our noses.'

'This is really something to take in, I am impressed youngest employee at Olive's bakery, Jack Peterson.'

'Do you have to say all of that?', Susan asked, a little annoyed.

'Yes.'

'Why?'

'Because it is true.'

'Argh!, this is nothing special I have seen better in books.'

'Of course you have, say Julia, why don't you try jumping of the edge, I am pretty sure you have not seen hell yet.'

'I am not as dumb as you?'

'Your right, your dumber.'

'You idiot, you just called yourself dumb..'

'Hey!, you two, I think someone was here, look here lies an apple core.'

'No, do not pick it up Miss Bonate.'

She completely ignored him, just like everyone usually does, she picked it up held it up to the sky and examined it, 'Huh, that is odd?'

'What is odd?', he said rushing over to her

'The seeds are gone.'

'That is strange?'

The girls found this interesting

'Is it really, because I do not think so, huh, strange, a stranger who does stranger things, what is wrong with that, every person has the right to do want ever they want to do and if it is strange, who are we to judge.', Jack said, in a nerves tone.

'Do you think that someone deliberately removed them.', Charlotte said, looking at Susan and Julia.

'Huh, they completely ignored me?'

'If so, then could the killer be linked to the Phil family murder.' Julia said, taking a closer look at the core

'No!, Julia, why are you making a mountain out of a mole hill, it could have been done by birds or ants, you know how they are working hard all day, so they too need something after a long day and what better way then to do so, then apple seeds, just imagine:

THE ANT LIFE!

(narrated and imagined by Jack Peterson, the voices too)

Two ants meet up in their favourite chill spot after a good day of grinding hard in the blazing sun.

Ant one: 'Yo bro, do you want to do some Si?'

Ant two: 'I thought, you were never going to ask, I really need something to relax after slaving away like that in the hot sun today.'

Ant One: 'I know right, dang!, she be beating down on us, hotter then zinger wings.'

Ant two: 'You got that good stuff?'

Ant one: 'Yeah, are you going to sniff it or should I blow it up your butt hole?'

Ant two: 'Ohh!, prison wallet, I want it up my butt hole!'

Ant one: 'You got it bro.'

THE END

'And that is how it goes down in down town ant ville, it makes perfect sense.'

'I to have you agree with you there, youngest employee of the bakery team, it does document the hard life of the ant and I could really feel a strong sense of emotion coming from your story, plus having to deal with predators far bigger then you while working in the blazing sun, right in the open, where anything can just snatch you up and devour you like a sour worm candy, must be traumatizing, it makes sense for anyone to look for and escape from that, thank you Jack for telling such a compelling story, I think I just developed a new sense of respect for ants.'

'I have to agree with Miss Bonate, you really do have a talent for telling stories.'

'Thank you, all so much, you have no idea, how much that means to me.'

Julia was left stunned, she did not know what was going on or what world she was born into, she was actually considering jumping off the edge or choking herself to death with her own hair.

'What is wrong sister, it seems like you have seen a ghost?'

'Life does not make any sense anymore.'

'Oh, sweetie it never has.'

'No, offense Miss Bonate but you are the last person I want to hear that from.'

'None Taken.'

'Susan, do you think that this could be related to the Phil incident?'

'Yes, this would make for the perfect hiding place, hell, I have lived here for thirteen years, fifteen hours, twenty three minutes and forty two seconds, and I had no idea that it existed.'

'It is quite mysterious.'

'Yes, indeed, indeed it is.'

'Youngest employee and most likely infected with a terminal disease from Olives bakery, are you sure that you are the only one that knows about this place?'

'No, actually, quite a few people know about this place.'

'Who is the guy you said, you do not wish to see here?'

'Good one Julia.'

'Thanks Susan.'

'Uhmm, that would be Sir C.J, he is a local business man around here.'

'Sir C.J, never heard of him, do you perhaps know his full name?'

'What do you know Julia, all you ever do is sit with your face in a book, scrolling, I mean paging through different texts, you hardly ever leave the house, your eyes are forever on those pages, if you don't learn how to balance between work and social, life, your whole life will pass by right in front of your eyes, one day you will find yourself old and alone on a bench outside your house, watching everyone experience a childhood you should have had, I am not saying you should stop reading, just find the balance buy some new balance shoes if you have to.'

'I am afraid too say this but I have to agree with fruit peeler of Olive's Bakery, if you bury your face in books the whole day, life might actually just pass you by and to sit all day is not good for you, you must at least try and find the balance between reading and living life , maybe just read for an hour then go outside to feel the grass in between your toes, I tell you that it will feel like the best daegone day of your life, and if you sit with an arch with whole day, your body might take the form of a Velociraptor, and that will not be cute, Bt.dubs did you guys here that English 'Velociraptor', what!, I deserve a gold star for that, high class English.'

'Thank you for that self-help seminar lecture you guys gave me but I think that I am a perfectly balanced human being since I read books about samurais, yes I am feeling myself not touching get your mind out of the gutter, feeling myself.'

'Preach the word sister Bonate, loving the English but you know what they say, you can lead a horse but you can't make him drink.'

'Amen!, that is true.'

'Halleua!,'

'You too, Susan?'

'I am feeling the spirit.'

'Good!, you evil grass spirit!, Out!'

Jack started shaking his body frantically as if he was having a seizure, basically it looked like an exorcism done in reverse, Miss Bonate ran around the two, apostles maybe, I am not sure, constantly until, Jack stopped and raised his hands into the air.

'Be gone!, be gone!, you are now free my sister, yes you.'

'Me?' asked Bonate some for reason

'No, not you Miss Bonate, I think that it would be quite obvious who I am referring to since my hand is on her shoulder.'

'Yes, your right, I just lost myself in the momentous moment, I was feeling it, right in my bones.'

'Me too.'

'See, she was in it too.'

'Uhmmm, sorry to interrupt the scene which was not suppose to be written but we are on a tight schedule.'

'Yeah sorry, back to you Julia.'

'Thank you, what was I suppose to say again?'

Random whisper that knows all the lines: 'What was the point of that lecture Jack?'

'Oh, thank you!'

Random whisper that knows all the lines: 'No!, you not suppose to talk to me, just say the line, ai!, ,why do I work here?'

'Okay, yes, what was the point of the lecture Jack, are you trying to change the subject, only guilty people try to change the subject, are you guilty of something Jack Peterson?'

'Are you?'

'Of course not Susan, I this thing is talking nonsense and you really need to stop eating grass, it is becoming a real problem now, I think you need to find some help at Grass Eaters Anonymous, I know this guy named Jeff and he says they have this great program there for people with your condition, the doctors and nurses are super friendly, I can go with you if you want, I promise you I will be with you every step of the way, except when you have to go to the toilet, now that would be disgusting and besides our relationship has not reached that level yet, levels!, girl levels.'

'Aww, Jack, youngest employee and most likely corrupted by Arnold from Olive's Bakery, you are quite the romantic, Susan, I want to know your prayer, because I need a man like that in my life.'

'I know I am very lucky.'

'Susan, you are going nowhere, and you do not have a problem, okay maybe just a little but it is nothing we can't handle on our own, this fool is just trying to get you out of the way so he can tap some fresher piece of meat, maybe Miss Bonate is next in line, can't put that past her.', Julia interjected.

'Excuse me?'

'No, I think I do have a problem, I asked Waldo to organise me some Elephant tranquilizer, which is obviously too much for my body to handle and could kill me in an instant.'

'But why sister, is it Jack who asked you to use it, did he ask you to take it and commit suicide so he could steel all your inheritance money, so he could spoil some of his many unidentified girlfriends dare I even say boyfriends, I still think that Miss Bonate could be one of his side chicks, I see how she always walks by his side.

'I am most certainly not, I am as single as a stick in between match sticks, I have no interest in a relationship right now, I really need to find myself and get my life back on track or else I will end up like future Julia that stalks little children, hoping to steal their youth so she could relive her childhood life with less regrets and more fun, happy memories.'

'Really we using future me as an international standard of what not to become?'

'Yes, I think that is pretty obvious since we are distinctively using your name, am I right or am I correct?'

'Correct!' Susan shouted and giving Charlotte a thumbs up.

'Susan you too?'

'I am sorry sister but I have to agree, the tongue speaks what the heart feels and it feels that future you situation is ridiculously bleak, I mean next level shizniz, I am sorry to say it and it pains me to know that in the future not even cats will like you, I hope that counts for something.'

'It counts for nothing.', Julia, crossing her arms in frustration.

'Good, I am glad I could make you feel a little better.'

'Ladies, all in favour of using future Julia as a International standard of what not to become when you get old raise your hand and say 'I'.

'I!'

'I see what is going on here, this is a mutiny, a convention, to tell me to go F$*&k myself, is that right?'

'Oh dear lord.'

'She needs to go to church!, Satan is among us!', Jack shouted.

'Julia!, I did not know you were capable or even capable of thinking words like that.'

'What can I say sister the tongue speaks what the heart feels.'

'OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!, reverse burn, did not see that coming.'

'I like your style Julie.'

'Jack and Miss Bonate, this is no time to be impressed by such atrocious behavior, completely unlady like, I think that it is time for us to leave, it seems being around people has a bad effect on you.'

'Let me at least walk you down.'

'No, that will be fine, we will manage.'

Susan, held Julia by the hand and led her down the path like a mother angry with a toddler, who is going to get a beating of his life, soon the two vanished into the forest only to be seen in the next chapter or the one following after that.

'Hara, hara, what a lively two you got there.'

'Tell me about it.'

'You know Jack sometimes it is better to be alone and find the person you truly belong with, then to force yourself into something just for the sake of it.'

'I do not understand what you saying.'

'I think you do, I have to leave now ,still have some cleaning to do, hopefully Waldo, has fixed my lock, thanks by the way, bye!'

'Psst!...Psst!'

(Rustle rustle in the bushes next to the tree.)

'Who is there!, you better show yourself or else, you don't want to know cuz, cuz, all I can say fourteen holes, then I see you in ICU.'

'Jis Jackie, is that how you play at the kasi?'

'Yes, boss, that is how my old lady taught me self defense, pick up and stab, how long have you been hiding in the greenery?'

'From the beginning, however I am really disappointed that you exposed our secret hide out but a man has to do what a man has to do, to impress the ladies he likes, especially the older ones they like the finer things in life, they want to settle down get married and have ten to fifteen kids, what unrealistic expectations.'

'Yes, unrealistic.'

'Can you imagine what the school fees will cost you?'

'Millions.'

'More like billions and don't forget those dumb ones in between, who properly repeat a year, with no athletic ability or any artistic talent, you just have to accept them, it gives me gray hairs just thinking about it, not that I, I do not have any gray hairs, mama says I have good genes.'

'I know, what a nightmare.'

'Jackie boy, you do know, that I know, that you know, that she knows, that she was right about the whole fake relationship vibes.'

'I know, but what can I do?'

'I am afraid that only you know the answer to that, I know it sounds cliché but it is the truth and how can you say that I am just a local business man?'

'Is that not what you are?'

'Boy!, don't let me slap you for degrading me like that, I am an internationally recognized business man, entrepreneur, turnaround specialist, medical specialist, martial art and weapon specialist, behavioral specialist, theologian, archeologist, and certified gynecologist, do not know why I am, the last one but all for the quest knowledge.'

'Honestly how are you all those things and how old are you?'

'May age is of no importance at this stage, what is important is the desire to know as much as you can, the more you learn the more you earn.'

'I wish I could earn as much money as you one day.'

'The truth is that you will not, you are too soft, you will not have the heart, but it would be good for you if you get yourself an good honest job until you make it.'

'Where?'

'Where ever you want, you see you still young so, just make up your mind, Jack you can literally go where ever you want from here.'

'How do I do that?'

'Ask yourself?'

'Well,I do not feel like doing that, so I am going home so this chapter could end, bye!'

'Good bye.'
