Upon getting home and my brother haven't dropped a single word yet, not even a greeting or criticism, I thought he was going to scold me the moment he sets his eyes on me, but no, it didn't happen that way, there was not even a simple sign of him getting pissed off, he's just relaxed and focused on his phone while sitting on the couch.
Did something happen?, Something that I don't know?. I didn't try to take the thought to mind though, just pretended to overlook it as I headed in towards the kitchen to check whether there was dinner for me, maybe he has passed down his anger towards something else, something else that got to do with me, Jeffery can do that.
Seeing the plate on the cupboard, I opened them with the idea that this was surely it, where he might've vested his anger by not making me dinner and covering an empty plate, but to my surprise, unlike Jeffery, my food was there, well and ready. Wow....is this really Jeffery in there?, Because my brother is a crack in the head who doesn't know about patience, so seeing him relaxed with my presence bothering him, that's something else.
With my crutches, I started getting myself back to the sitting room, leaving my dinner back on the cupboard as I pushed myself to go before him, taking the couch opposite him, as I sat down staring at him.
“ You know I can see you staring at me bro?....”
He said, but eyes not getting up from the phone, he was relaxing by the hand side of the couch, resting his right elbow on them, eyes fixed on the screen and both hands were typing on the phone like he was chatting with someone.
“ Yeah, and I am doing it so clear for you to notice that I am.....” I replied him, keeping my crutches down to the floor, resting them so that they wouldn't fall. That's when he looked up at me, knowing that I was actually here to have a conversation, rather than having him focus his attention on something else, he promised to be there for me, that I should ask him anything that he can help with right?, So here am I before him.
“ What?!....”
“ I was wondering, you was calling my phone often and on when I was on my way back, I actually didn't pickup because I know what's going to happen even after hearing you scream on top of your voice on the phone, you'll still talk again when I return, but right now, it's neither, I didn't pickup, and you aren't scolding me even when I am right here, so I was beginning to wonder, what's going on?, Why the silent treatment?.....”
I let out a deep breath out from his lungs, his eyes shut as if he was quite disappointed or something about what I came to speak with him about. “ So this is the reason you came to disturb my peace I guess, not as if you'll listen if I did scold you, so why would I then get myself shouting at you knowing that I am just talking to a wall?......”
Oh..... Sounds like Jeffery has just given up on me, he has been always trying to correct me often and on, but right now, it seems like he just hanged the boots on me, wow.... Never saw that coming, but either way, I prefer he speaks and criticize, rather than giving me silent treatment, it's so irritating.
“ Anyways, I was out with Miss Hadley, Gianna, we went on a date, that's why I returned late, just so you know....”
“ I get....”
“ Wow..... You do?, since when?, Guess y'all have eyes for something that I don't....”
That's quite impressive how they all see something special in some ways that I don't, Davis knew I was a footballer just by looking at me, Gianna predicted I was as well an athlete just by seeing my bro's new fame, not that he haven't been on the spotlight all this while, just that his move to a bigger team just brighten up his fame.
“ That's not what I mean, I actually called her to know whether she's aware of your whereabouts, I have been trying to reach you and you wasn't picking up, so I decided to reach out to her, she's your doctor right?, So I thought she did know where you are, she told me she was out with ya.....”
Wow, sounds interesting, I can't believe that Jeffrey is with her contact already before me, probably took them after getting me out of there on the day of my arrival, guess I'll just let it pass, go to the kitchen and grab my dinner, that would be something I would like right now.
“ About shutting my calls out, I hope that one day it would be a situation you would regret not picking up.....”
He said, before looking down, back on his screen and concentrating on the chat or whatever he was onto before, like what he just said now, I believe that it's an inbuilt glitch in me, have to work on that, wouldn't like it when one shuts me out too, that's irritating.
With my orthopedic boots, I managed walking with both feets to the kitchen, leaving behind my crutches down there as I headed to the kitchen. Standing before the cupboard where my food is kept, my mind traveled back to my time spent with Gianna, wow, that's quite impressive of me how I looked all in control, Gianna making me feel like a king without putting much effort, just submissive to me, I can't remember how scared she was whenever she's about to say a few words, like my permission is needed or something, I can't believe there's still a girl like her out there, and as well too beautiful that guys decides not to invest themselves out of the fear of losing out on her, so fucking interesting.
