Chapter 17: Reconciliation.

After I was done with the call, chat with Gianna did boosted my mood, making me put aside all that had happened today, as I was now wearing a smile on my face, my cheeks now hurting because it have been that way since we started the call.
Standing up from my bed, knowing that it was about time I head to the sitting room and have a chitchat with Jeffery, a knock sounded on my door which actually took me by surprise. Not that I don't know who's on the door anyways, or that something like this might happen, but I just didn't know it would be right now, I was already about going to him, but he's here already, I think I will just have to listen and know whether he's here with a new criticism, or he's about to apologize for the recent one.
Opening the door, Jeffery was standing outside, both hands inside his pants pocket as he stood there staring at me. “ Saw that your food was still in the kitchen, so I came to see whether you're still awake....” yeah, that's my brother, he comes with a funny excuse whenever he feels like he was wrong about something.
“ Yeah, I was about going on my way to go grab it, quite hungry right now....”
He scratched the back of his head, “ Okay, just came to check....” his left hand was still inside his pocket and the right scratching the back of his head, down the end line of his hair as he was slowly walking away. I guess this is my opportunity to throw everything under the rug as well. 
“ I'm really sorry about today, would be careful not to involve myself into such again, it just happened out of control, not like it was my intention on the first place...” he slowly nodded his head, agreeing to my apology.
“ I'm as well sorry too, I was just angry, frustrated and confused, if you were on my shoes, you'll as well understand, you can't really expect me to believe you when both of us knew that it was something you're and have been always used to....”
With a smile on my face, I was slowly nodding to what he was trying to say, I know me, and he's not wrong about that, I guess I do understand his anger and frustration towards me, I wouldn't as well believed me if I was on his shoes like he did said.
Both of us shared a reconciliation smile between each other, before I saw him turn back around and headed away, possibly back to the sitting room, or maybe to his room, I just returned back into mine, relieved that we've just solved the issue gently, like we always do. My mind is now on what might be for dinner, I'm starving.
I was filled with joy now, glad that I had went out with Davis tonight, spoke with Gianna on the phone and reconciled with my brother, Jeffery, I think that calls for a celebration with my dinner, had lost my appetite when I came in, but now, my stomach needs nothing but food, because hunger has taken over.
Yeah, just what I expected, when a guy is living in a home where there's no woman, one particular food is common in that house, rice, that's possibly the only food Jeffery knows how to cook. I don't actually crave for anything in particular, rice can actually serve me right, so I carried them to the sitting room, placing it on the table as I took a seat, happens that Jeffery didn't actually go to his room, he's right in here at the same couch he was on when I stepped into the house.
“ So, How did it go with Gianna in the car?...”
“ Don't tell me you're jealous, because I would love to know what's the scenario made you feel....”
He asked, laughter in his feature like he did find this interesting. I just got my face down and onto my food. I'm not jealous of anything, he's just getting me wrong, why should I be jealous?. “ I'm not jealous Jeffery, I'm just asking to know....” I replied him, eyes now staring up back at him. “ Ok then, if you're not, then there's no need to answer that then, you can ask her yourself, but here's a tip of the iceberg, she's a good catch, I'm happy for you buddy, she really knows how to keep a conversation.....”
Shit, Jeffery just got me trapped right now, now all I want to know is what they were possibly talking about in their journey back to the clinic and I don't want to make it seem so obvious that I am desperate. “ Are you trying to play games with me right now Jeffery?, Stop with that childish act and just get on with it.....”
“ Sorry bro, that's the conversation between us, I have nothing to gossip about....”
“ Fuck hell no!... This ain't no gossip bro, just share with me, I wouldn't do the same to you, you know that!....”
“ Sorry Jerome, I know nothing.... Best you start hiding yours from me as well....”
He was comfortably smiling, eyes on his phone screen like he didn't care, if my expression about this can be seen with the physical eyes, he would possibly see flames going up in the air, evaporating away from my body, I was just trying to hide my reaction of what curiosity is doing to my head, I decided to keep quiet and relax. I'm never going to call Gianna just to ask her about her conversation with Jeffery, that would make me look so desperate and clingy, clingy in a bad way, like I was jealous.
“ Damn bro, she's an interesting girl, told me something about..... Oh, never mind, you don't want to know....”
Shit!, this time I'm going to tear Jeffery apart.
