Brother in-law

"I thought....mom said, the baby...."

Before Mavis could complete his sentence, Sky pinched him on his arm ... preventing him from saying anything.

"Ouuuch sist that hurts, Mavis said..."rubbing his arm.

"Be nice to him bro, he is a guest."Sky said with an evil smile on her face.

"Ok Come in Mr?" Mavis asked

"You can call me Dwayne...since I'm going to be your in-law soon." Dwayne said, smiling.

"No way...sist please what's his full name, you can't be our in-law, the family has not accepted you." Mavis crossed his hands, still blocking the entrance.

"You can call him Mr Teffa Mavis and...woh what is that I smell Dwayne, is that pepper soup I smell?" Sky asked sniffing the air.

"Yes ma'am, it's yam and fresh fish pepper soup." stretching his hand he handed her the bag. Mavis rolled his eyes and walked into the house.

"Come in." Sky said.

Dwayne watched Mavis walk into the house, before he could say more to Sky...she took the food and ran to the Kitchen. As Dwayne entered the living room he froze...it was Mr Stone, he has seen him in the company before, but rumour has it that he works at the bar now...going from one bar to the other as top security, he's one of the top security at Jaydite. Smiling, Dwayne extended his hand to shake hands with Stone.

But Stone ignored him...looking forward. Dwayne sighed and went to sit on one of the couch, he saw Mavis in one and wanted to join him but Mavis made an angry dog sound and lay down on the couch.. preventing Dwayne from sitting.

Dwayne sat on the chair opposite Mavis. something must be wrong, he thought to himself, Stone and Bones were at the company earlier today with a few other people and now he is in Sky's house...did something happen?

"Hey little bro...Dwayne said to Mavis, did something happen to your sister today?"

Mavis sat up and glared at Dwayne..."I'm not your bro and don't you dare call me little. Only sister Mena has the right to call me little bro. And I thought you are her fiance, you should know what's going on."

"Mena....so that's her other name...nice" Dwayne thought to himself. So something is really wrong, he'll have to find out from Sky cause he knows Stone here won't say a thing.

Mavis phone rang disturbing the silence in the room. "Hello Nime, no i'm at sister Mena's place. No she's fine. Oh the meat...I'm sorry i forgot, I'll go there now." He stood up and went to the Kitchen

"Sist I forgot that I'm suppose to get mom's meat from the slaughter house...I have to go now before they close...please take care if yourself."

Sky was eating in the dinning, Mavis walked in and walked straight to where she was eating. He wanted to carry the biggest fish in the plate when she slapped his hands off..."Go get yours in the kitchen and wash your hands first. Wont you eat before leaving?"

Looking at his wristwatch Mavis said. "No sist I have to go now or mom will kill me if I don't meet up and please sist don't tell her you saw me at Kupe, I'm not smoking weed...I promise, I just went to say hi to a friend of mine. keep it a secret and I'll keep yours." He said smiling.

I'm not keeping anything a secret and concerning what happened today, I can make Stone shut your mouth so don't tempt me."

Laughing nervously Mavis said...."hehehe sist, I'm your only brother, you wouldn't do that and who told you I can't take Stone.Its not by size, I can take him, ok you know Bruce Lee? He wasnt very big...Jackie too..the list goes on sist so please don't say that again. And if you need a chauffeur just call me, I'm only one call away..."he winked at his sister and walked away..."please take care of you ok? bye."

Sky laughed at her brother and screamed after him..."You are mouthed bro."

After Mavis left, she dialled Anton's number. She is uncomfortable sleeping with a stranger in the house and Stone is just too big, he scares her sometimes and don't talk much. They are four rooms in the house, her room, Anton's, the baby's nursery and the guest room. She isn't ready to allow him stay yet beside Bones just texted her that he found the owner of the cars and is interrogating them now.

Dwayne was bored in the living room, so he decided to go look for Sky, he heard her voice earlier. Stone blocked the door, preventing him from leaving the room.

"It's ok bro, i'm her fiance, I came immediately after I had the news, I can't harm her I promise." Dwayne said

"Hmmmph." Stone said and allowed him to pass.

Dwayne found Sky in the Kitchen, he located her by the running water and the noise he heard,so he guessed that must be the kitchen.

"If you don't mind me asking ma'am, did something happen today?"

"Not really, just Mr Basil at the office and some strange people following me around today."

"Strange people, are you all right?"

"Yeah on my way home I noticed some strange cars following me but I was able to ditch them. Ahh that reminds me what would you like to eat, we have soup, rice and fruit, don't say no."

"I already had something to eat, I visited my mom's restaurant before coming here, that's where I got the pepper soup from. I 'll have some fruit. Ma'am have you reported this to the police?"

"Not yet, my people are handling it that's why Stone is here. The food was really nice, I'd like to visit your mom's restaurant."

"Ok ma'am, I'll take you there sometime."

Dwayne walked out of the kitchen and back into the living room when his phone rang...he wanted to ignore the call...Tricia had been calling him like crazy since morning and he has been ignoring her call. seeing that it wasn't Tricia, he picked the call.

"Excuse me ma'am, Stone said. I'll be leaving now...Mr Anton said we will discuss your security when he gets back but for now I'll leave, please call me if you find anything strange." Anton had called him earlier and asked him to watch the house from outside and that he shouldn't let Ms Sky know he'll be outside keeping guard.

Sky smiled as she watched the big man leave, it was almost 8:00pm now and she was tired...she walked to the living room, where Dwayne was eating his fruit.

"It's time for you to leave Mr Teffa." she said to him picking up the tray.

"I'm sorry ma'am but I was given strict orders not to leave this place ...I'm sorry ma'am but I'm staying. Mr Anton told me to use the guest room."
