Chapter 42 Not responsible
“Don’t tell me to take it easy on him, I have raised him well, and I will not allow a girl who is not well brought up to come and ruin all that I have build over the years”
“But we don’t know this girl yet, how do you know she is not well brought up?” Mr. Brown ask his wife.
“Look at this video very well, does she look like a responsible girl? A responsible girl would not give herself to a man.. I mean my son just like that, it shows that she is not well brought up.
“Now look at Sharon, I left her with Paul over the weekend and she didn’t throw herself on him. That is what I call responsible. She yell.
“Don’t you know that any girl who is not well brought up can destroy a family? Sharon is the perfect girl for my Paul, not this irresponsibility girl.”
She was still talking when Paul got back.
“Where is that Paul”, she went to the garage to meet him.
Mr. Brown turn back to his news paper “There you go, let the war begin” he said and continue with his news paper.
“Paul… what is this”? She yell from the entrance of the door.
Hi mom, what is what? He ask trying to take something from his car.
“Who is this girl?” she yell, but Paul didn’t say anything.
“Paul, so you are no longer a virgin”? She ask disappointed.
“Virgin! Am I supposed to be a virgin? Do I look like a girl”? Paul murmured but didn’t say it out.
“Am talking to you Paul, why are you lying down like this with this girl?
“Which girl? Let me see,” he took the phone from his mom, oh.. shitt.. Sharon is very stupid he murmured.
Mom, are you sure this is me? You people edit videos this days you know.
Beside you gave you this? Pretending not to know.
“Look don’t play dumb with me ok, I don’t like this and you need to stop seeing that girl”
“Mom please, don’t trouble yourself with fake news, that person there might not be me you know”, he hug his mother, mommy, mommy don’t be angry, you don’t look beautiful when you get angry and I want to take you out shopping, you are the best mom in the world,” he kiss her hand and she smiles.
“Please you need to stop seeing that girl” she reminded Paul again.
“Yes mom anything for you”, he said not wanting to argue with his mom.
His mother couldn’t accept the fact that Paul is no longer the baby she used to know, how time flies? She keeps wondering.
Paul helped his dad to park his tennis kit while Mr. Brown just stand there looking at him.
“Dad what”? He ask seeing how his dad looked at him.
“Do you like her that much”
“Dad… let’s not go over that again”
“Your mom is serious, she thinks Sharon will be a better wife for you, and she also thinks that Sharon is more responsible than that girl, and I think she’s right”
“No dad, Sharon can not be more responsible than Christy”
“How do you know”? She dad ask
“I know dad” Paul didn’t want to tell his father about Sharon, because he didn’t have proof of anything and he didn’t want to make it his business anyways he was just trying to live his life, after all what ever Sharon wants to do with her life is none of his business.
“I will advice that you think about it,” his dad said and drove off.
“Sharon, Sharon, Sharon, who is Sharon? Is it because am keeping quiet? Let her not push me to the wall, if not I will expose her”. He murmured.
He walked inside the house and saw Sharon going to her room.
Hey you, what else do you have to say? You’ve done your worst, but don’t let me expose you.
Go ahead, no one will believe you, Sharon said and walk pass Paul
“I don’t have your time”, Paul went back to his room and his phone was ringing with ten miss calls.
Hello my heart how are you? Paul ask Christy.
Am fine but you refuse to pick up my calls.
Am so sorry, I was doing something for my father.
Ok, are they back?
Yes, they are back
Ok, what about Sharon has she gone home? Christy ask and Paul pause… why is she asking me that?
Hello Paul are you there? He refused to answer because he didn’t know what to say.
Ohh.. maybe is network Paul head Christy saying over the phone and she hanged up.
“yea.. is network” Paul said “but am not going to call her back, I don’t know what to tell her because Sharon is still here, why is she not going to her home?”
“Mom am going back to school next week” Paul told his mom as they sat at the sitting room with Sharon.
“So what? Of course I know you are going back to school next week”
“Mom am graduating this year, I want to go abroad to work and live there” Paul said hitting his mom like a bomb.
She jerk from her sitting position. “What did you say? Live and work in the states? No, you can’t do that.”
“But why mom?”
“Because you are my only son, and I want you to take over the running of the company. Now it doesn’t mean you wouldn’t travel, you can travel for holidays but not to leave there ok”
“Ohh. I see”, Paul knew before time that he is going to take over the company but he was just trying his luck. Now that it fail he know he is not going anywhere with Patrick.
Sharon thought is time to go home because Paul seem to be getting far away from her reach even though he seems close.
“Mom I will like to go home ” Sharon said and Paul breath a sign of relieve.
Oh. Ok, I will call your mom and then we will prepare for you to go home.
Okay, I will be in my room, she bow and left.
“Ok dear, see you later” she reply while looking at Paul.
“What is that Paul? Why are you looking at her like that?”
“Nothing mom” he smiles
“I don’t like the way you treat this girl, she only agreed to come here because of me; she is not a cheap girl”
“Hmmm, mom.. I haven’t done anything wrong, I only looked…”
Please be nice to her, both of you will be getting married soon.
Paul got up to face his mother, “that is not going to happen, except you don’t want me to come back into this house.”
“I hope you are not serious?”
“Am very serious mom, I will just move out of this house”
“Fine, now I know what to do, I will just pay that girl a visit.”
Mom please don’t touch Christy.
“Is that her name? She will hear from me”
She got up and left Paul standing there.
“What do I do? Why is it so hard to love Christy? Why is everyone fighting me because of her?” Paul keep asking but no answer.
“Hey mom”, Sharon hug her mom and walk straight to her room to go and cry, she has never had to care for her life like this before, no one has ever looked down on her the way Paul did, she has always been the queen that everyone adores, but now Paul has brought this awesomeness to her, and now she feels worthless.
What is wrong with her? Why is she moody?
Sharon…. Sharon talk to me, did something happen?
“Mom go away, I just want to be alone.”
“No dear open the door and talk to me, am your mother and I will understand”
“Mom you don’t understand, Paul hates me, he didn’t want to have anything to do with me, so why should I be the one throwing myself at him? Mom is all your fault” she starts crying.
Open the door Sharon, please, let’s talk.
Go away mom, I don’t want to talk to you, leave me alone” she keeps crying.
OMG, what did they do to my girl, her mom ask, and going to call Mrs. Brown, she has to explain to me want they did to my daughter”
No..no..no.. mom please don’t call her” she opens the door and rush her mom with tears all over.
“What happened my dear?”
“His mom didn’t do anything to me, is just Paul who don’t want me”
Ok tell me, didn’t you do anything… like something to make Paul react that way? Because the Paul that I know will not do any harm to you”
Sharon didn’t say anything.
Ok I know, you’ve gone there to do drugs right?
She didn’t say anything even though she didn’t do any drugs.
“You see? I told you, you just have to stop this nonsense”. She said and hugs her daughter.
