"I WANT A REUNION"

Zoey invited Sebastian over to our place, after both of them had settled their differences. I was surprised to see him, but what surprised me more was seeing him with Zoey now. I thought they were never going to make up again, but this was fate playing around with us.

I was with Jasmine in her bedroom, when Zoey called me out to the living room. I couldn't stand Sebastian's presence at all. I tried my best to put on my garment of etiquette, because I wanted to appear matured and cultured before him.

"Why is he here Zoey?". I asked her, pissed off by his presence.

"I called him here." Zoey replied.

Sebastian looked at me with a frown on his face, and I returned back the nasty looks to him. Both of us couldn't stand each other at all. Zoey noticed the coldness of the room, and she didn't like it at all.

"I'm tired of seeing the both of you fighting." Zoey said to us.

"There's life outside your lawsuit against his family." Zoey said to me.

I looked at her confused by her words, while she smirked. I sighed aloud, grabbing their attention. Zoey felt I was doing too much and she didn't like it at all. She also noticed the dead looks Sebastian was giving me.

"I want the both of you to settle your differences." Zoey said to us.

Both of us bursted out into laughter, while she stood looking at us and wondering the reason we were laughing. That was indeed a funny but not funny joke. At a point, I felt like she was talking to her age grades in her head because this can't be happening in real life.

"Why are you laughing?". She asked us.

"Does this look like a child's play to you?". I asked her.

"No it doesn't. I'm serious about this." Zoey said to me.

I noticed the seriousness in her voice, and I knew she wasn't kidding around now. Sebastian kept looking at her calmly and I tried wondering what he was up to now. Zoey ordered Sebastian to stand up, and dragged her to where I was seated. She forced him to sit next to me, and I was really disgusted.

"Zoey you're crossing your limit." Sebastian said to her.

"Didn't you manipulate her to do this huh?". I asked him.

"Please not now." Zoey pleaded with us.

Mother has been at the door of my bedroom, eavesdropping on us. She really felt that Zoey was a God sent and the one God wants to use to bring I and Sebastian together. She could really see her efforts and she had the same behavior with me. Mother felt I also behaved like Zoey when I was a child.

"I really don't know what's happening, but I hope almighty turns it out for good." Mum whisphered to herself.

I excused myself from the living room, trying to go into Jasmine's bedroom when I caught my eyes on mum. She secretly called me over, and I tiptoed towards her direction. I guessed that she might have heard everything Zoey was saying to I and Sebastian at the living room.

"Mum, how much have you heard?". I asked her surprisedly.

"Isn't this fate? Your daughter is actually doing the right thing, even though she has no idea that Sebastian is her biological father.' she said to me.

"I'm not stopping her from being with him." I replied back.

Mother shook her head with a smile and I looked at her suspiciously. I wondered if she was siding with that man now. She hates Sebastian so much, that I know. So I was wondering when she became so nice now.

"Don't you hate Sebastian anymore?". I asked her.

"I do. Even if I hate him, I still want my grand daughter to have a complete home. She needs you and her father." Mum said to me.

"Should I go out there and just say the truth huh?". I asked her.

Mother stopped me, letting me do whatever I wanted to do from my head. She was right, but I don't have any romantic feelings for Sebastian. I hate him so much for everything he did to me in the past.

I left mother, heading over to Jasmine's bed room. She was operating her laptop when I came in. Jasmine was surprised to see my face moody, and she was eager to find out who wronged her best friend this time.

"Baby girl what's wrong now?". She asked me.

"My daughter is freaking me out these days." I complained exhaustedly.

"About what huh?". She asked, shutting down her system.

I drew a chair next to Jasmine, sitting down next to her. She was the only one that I can have by my side this time. Mother gets too emotional by little things, and it seriously irks me atimes.

"Zoey wants I and Sebastian to get close to each other." I opened up to Jasmine.

Jasmine stared at me, not knowing when she started laughing. It wasn't funny at all. I looked at her, trying to understand the reason she was laughing. Her laughter was contagious and I had to join her too.

*Sorry, sorry. This is funny to be honest." Jasmine said to me.

"But it isn't." I said with a frown.

"Simply tell her you're not interested." Jasmine suggested.

I shook my head, while she wondered why I did that. She had no clue that Sebastian is even at our place. Jasmine was taking this very lightly. That little human always want everything to go her way.

"Zoey called him over." I said to her.

"He's here?". She asked me, with her eyes almost popping out of her eye sockets.

"Chill. Yeah he is." I answered.

"He's disgusting. After everything, he still shamelessly came here." Jasmine said to me.

Zoey noticed I was taking longer time in there, and she came in to call me back. I don't want to go back there and entertain her gibberish about Sebastian again. I have already had an earful earlier and I'm tired already.

"Mum, are you not coming back again?". She asked from the door.

"I'm not. I'm tired Zoey." I answered her.

"Fine then. Take this." She said to me, walking up towards me to handover a paper to me.

I grabbed the paper from her hand, glancing through it. Jasmine fixed her eyes on the paper, trying to also see its contents.

"A bucket list?". I asked her surprisedly.

"Yeah. Uncle is with his and this is yours." Zoey revealed.

"Both of you will fulfill everything in this bucket list." Zoey said to me.

Jasmine felt like interfering, but she didn't want to poke nose. She just kept mute, watching everything play out in front of her.

"I'm not interested in this at all." I said to Zoey.

"Maybe you don't want to see me forever then." She said, trying to leave the room.

"Stop! I was kidding. I'll do as you've as said." I stopped her frustratedly.

I don't want to lose my child again and I'll just have to bear this. Zoey is really too much and she really goes over board atimes. If she wasn't my child, I'll scold her in a way she wouldn't believe.
