Secret

Benson's POV

She sent me out of her house, and sincerely I did not blame her for her.

I could still see how hurt she was by my words, but that was the best thing I could come up with.

I love charity, and no woman can take her place in my life.

“Papa”.are you coming from miss Jesse's place “. Lilly ran to me when I got inside the apartment.

“Yes, dear, I went to thank her for taking you out yesterday”.

“Really”.she asked, 

“Yeah "

“Then I should have gone with you “.she spoke in an angry tune.

I signed softly and gently stroke her hair.

“Don't worry, we will go some other time “.she nods her head and ran inside the room.

I went to my room and switch on my computer, so I could work, but I couldn't.all I keep seeing was Jesse's face full of pain and anger.

I groaned in anger and went for my phone, I search my contact and call aunt .it rang few times before it was picked

“Hey Benson, how are you and my princess “.she asked 

“I'm fine and so is Lilly "

“That is nice to hear, so when are you guys coming back”.she asked 

“Aunt”.

“Benson, is everything alright”

“Yeah, is just that “. I hissed softly, 

“Just what “. She asked impatiently.

I took in a deep breath before speaking.

“I've been having strange dreams, aunt “. I spoke softly.

The line was quiet for a while and I thought aunt must've hanged up, but she was still in the line.

“What did you see in the dream “.she asked nervously.

I hissed and ran my fingers in my hair, aunt was definitely hiding something from me.

“I have strange dreams of memories I knew I don't have, and I kept hearing this strange girl's voice in my dream .it felt so real like the dreams actually happened”.

I could hear aunt hissed softly on the phone and murmured words I couldn't hear, 

“Is everything alright”. I asked, 

“Yeah, but you need to leave that town and that Godforsaken country”.she spoke in a serious tune.

“What is the matter, aunt “. I asked 

“Everything is the matter, that country isn't safe for you, once you leave that country, I promise you, you won't be having any of those dreams “. She assured me.

“But aunt, I can't leave this town not when Lilly is enjoying herself and I promise her we would see the Christmas holiday here "

“Cancel it, bring up anything and tell her I know you can do it, or else you have something keeping you there “.she spoke suspiciously.

“Of course, you know I'm not ready for any relationship, and no woman can keep me here”. I assured her 

“Then come back home and leave that country”.she begged 

I hissed and stood beside the window, just then I saw Jesse coming out from her backyard.

She has few clothes in her hands and seems sad.

“Benson”.aunt voice brought me out from my thought.

“Yes aunt I'm here “. I replied quickly

“Did you hear what I just said “.she asked 

“No aunt, my thought was somewhere else, 

She hissed softly over the phone before speaking up.

“Come back to Australia we have many things to talk about "

“Lot of things”. I asked 

“Yes, a lot of this, just come back, and we will talk about it, okay “. She asked 

“Yeah "

“Alright take care of yourself and Lilly”,

“Sure”. I said those words and ended the call.

What do aunt have to say to me, I wondered.

I look back at the window and felt disappointed when I noticed she was already gone.
