Chapter Fifty-Four

Aiden carefully opens the door and Stood in front of the door, looking at the young lady In her late forties standing In front of the door with a big plate of Pie. The scent was tempting; It smells like apple pie; the lady Flash a smile at him revealing one of her golden Incisor, her dark and neck length hair looks perfectly trimmed and straight. Her face Free of winkles and spots; she was about Three feet and five Inches tall and have a tiny Figure; She looks like a healthy model.

" Are you just going to Stare at me?" she asked Aiden, with the Smile still on her face.

" Who are you?" He asked her In fear.

" I already told you, am your neighbour next door. I came to welcome you.... And your family...or friend." She smiled; Peeping Inside the house.

" We don't have any neighbor cos the door to that Place was locked when we packed In." He said looking at her round face; trying to figure out if she was lying.

" Oh.....I went to the city for some while and recently came back yesterday and i found light in this place and i also heard voices. So I decided to come and welcome my new neighbors today, so I baked pie for you guys" she smiled at him.

" How do you know we are much? Cos you used the word ' guys' ?" He asked her; Suspicious of her motives.

The others were silently making muted sounds from behind the door and curtains.

" Are you the only one here?" She asked him; still maintaining the beautiful smile on her face.

" No! Why are you interested?" He asked her; feeling unsafe around her.

" I wanted to invite all of you over to my house for dinner tonight." She smiled looking at his face, a hint of distrust and doubt were boldly written on his face.

" I don't mean any harm, am just a helpless widow you see." She faked a sad face and wipe invisible tears with the back of her hands.

" Then I will just take the pie." He stretch his hands and collected the pie from her. " You can take your leave now miss" He forced out a smile.

" It's a Mrs." She corrected him; and he nods back. " So am expecting you guys?" She asked.

" I have to discuss with the others first, if you find us at your doorstep tonight; that means we acknowledge you. And if not please never show up in front of our door step again." He bows slightly; after his rude response,he just shut the door and locked it.

" Ah...."She chuckled. " Who are you to acknowledge me in my territory? I could easily wipe all of you out but that wouldn't be any fun neighbors." She smiled and finally left their door step.
