That similar day, I walked up to tori, she was seated in her room with her hand on her head.
"Sis?" I dubbed and she swerved in a weak form, "Lisa, come in please!".
I had my feet ambling in, tori sat me next to her and placed her head on my lap.
" sister please tell me!!! What happened, because I can't recall a thing". ( she entreated pausing for my rejoinder)
I had my finger runs through her silky hair and she let go of a subtle whiff, "please tell me sister?", Tori enlarges her words pleading for the truth.
At the same time, Alvin stepped in without knocking, tori and I lifted our heads and found him standing at the doors opening.
" Alvin!! You're here? I thought you might have left?", I said getting tori up.
He smiles and replied, "yes I did leave but there's something I forgot?
" who did you forget?". Tori join in the conversion when unexpectedly mom cried out for help.
"Mom?" Immediately we ran down and met the kitchen on fire, Alvin ran to the storage room to get the fire extinguisher, and tori and I was left aiming to get mom settled down.
It's been a while since Alvin left to get the fire extinguisher and he hadn't returned, tori loomed her eyes looking for another way and I went on doing the only thing I could think of.
That was to jump in and save her, and while tori's scrutiny was split up, I flinched into the burning fire,  tori turned and cried out my name.
Alvin also got in and got amazed, "have you gone mad?". He gets angry, holding the fire extinguisher.
Abruptly, I dismissed his words and found a way to push mom out of the fire and to safety.
She ( mom) drops to the floor, tori ran to her assistance, while Alvin drizzled the extinguisher, and had the fire put off.
With a relieved glare on my countenance, Alvin tossed the fire extinguisher away and dragged me to himself.
" Lisa, I've you gone mad!! How dare you to jump into a burning fire?". ( frown).
He wasn't the only one, mom also took charge of me and also had her share of the shouting, as well as tori.
They all rebuked the fact that I jumped into a burning fire, without even thinking about my safety.
Alvin got so upset, he stormed outside of the house, mom takes tori upstairs after pushing me towards the same place Alvin left.
He was seated outside the house, his head was placed beneath, I walked closer and placed my hand on his shoulders, he gets his head up and to my surprise, threw out my hand.
"He must be angry with me?" ( that's my subconscious talking).
Meanwhile, mom and tori paid dividends attention to us, Alvin gets up and while he made an effort to leave, I dragged him back and admitted guilt.
"I'm sorry!!! please don't be mad at me?".
Alvin veered around, he once again pulled my hands away and without altering a single response left me feeling the same way.
A grimace plastered on my face, I made a new turn and sighted mom and tori watching from behind.
Mom moved forward and said.
" what were you thinking, why did you jump into a burning fire to save me, when Alvin went to get the fire extinguisher from the storage room".
It came across my action did harm more than good, tori raised her hand to speak, but stopped after I held mine up.
"Mom?" I called and she swiveled.
( inaudible conversation) .
The next morning, I had so much to think about and before mom or Tori gets up from bed, I left to meet Alvin.
The caretaker opens the door and I saw him ambling downstairs.
"Lisa, what are you doing here?".
He says keeping his distance from me.
I noticed that and let out, " why are you asking me that, and besides we are married, so this is equivalent to my home as well".
He raised an eyebrow and went to get his suitcase from the dining room table, I stood at the same spot waiting for him, and the same person walked out and once again ignored my presence in the living room.
"What the hell?" ( Frowns)
Is he still mad at me?.
The whole day ran by and I sat down waiting for mr arrogant, only to see him ambling in with a rather fine and sophisticated lady by his side.
We all looked at each other and for the same time, he kept on ignoring my presence.
"Alvin do you know her?".
The lady he brought with him asked him.
Alvin turns and blabbed out a shocking response.
"No!! I don't know her?".
His response got me stunned, it's either his trying to make me mad or he angry with me, either way.. I'll have to get him to talk with me.
"Mr arrogant!! Can I talk with me please, alone?".
The lady noticed she was the third wheel and by the second she turned her feet away leaving, Alvin dragged her back.
"Miss Tonia, where are you going to?".
He asked her)
"I'm sorry Alvin, but it seems like the beautiful lady wants to talk with you.".
( And by that she meant, me)
Alvin folds his eyes back, fasting a fast look at me.
He says, " I don't see any lady, and as a matter of fact, why don't you come up to my room so we could get to know each other".
( They both walked past without seizing a second glance at me)
I had no idea why or what made Alvin this way and no matter how much foolishness he thinks he can obtain by being angry, he cannot bring another lady in, I'll have to do something about miss Tonia ( in a mimicked voice).
Meanwhile, Alvin looked at me while I drove back home.
He takes a turn around and met Tonia glaring at him.
The look on his face urged her to ask.
"Alvin, can you please explain what was all that downstairs?".
He grains and said.
"Nothing!! But can you please do me a favor?".
( Evil glare as she takes a quick response)
"What can I do for you?".
She says.
Pausing to hear him speak.
( Inaudible conversation)
( BACK HOME)
Mom and Tori walk out to meet me at the driveway.
I looked up and without saying a word, left them sharing a confused glare at each other.
"Hold on Lisa?"
Mom's words froze me to a spot.
I veered and she says.
"Is everything okay?".
Although nothing was, I smiled and urged her it was but using a different approach to her question.
"Mom!! Do you mind if I go stay with Alvin at his house?".
"Why?".
Tori joins in the conversation.
Itching to know more.
Thus before I could alter back mom takes it and said.
"It's because she's now married to Alvin Fisher, they both got married oddly once again urged to know more, but mom immediately got the question changed and asked the reason why I wanted to live with Alvin under short notice?.
( Chapter ends)
Should I tell her that, I'm doing all this because it seems Alvin's attention is drifting away from me? Or perhaps it kills me to have Alvin treat me in such a manner?. Either way, I'll have to tell on something contrary to those two options of mine, and the nearest thing to say was that now I'm married to Alvin it's best to live my new life with him, seeing that Tori's back home with us.
Thankfully, mom believed and happily blessed my union with Alvin.
I smiled and Tori left with me to get my bags packed up, while getting my things arranged, she lets a weak moan.
I looked and saw the gloomy face she put on.
"Why the look?".
I asked.
She turns around and lets out to my hearing.
"Is it compulsory to go stay with Alvin, he at least come stay here with us".
I know leaving wasn't going to be an easy fix, but it was the only thing I could think of if truly I want my Mr arrogant back.
"Yes dear, but I promise when everything settles down, I'll bring you with me".
( Smiles)
Decerning how adamant I was, she takes a quick nod and continued getting my bags packed up.
Thereafter, we walked downstairs, the mom gets up and we all walked to my car.
"Thank good care of yourself and yes, I know your reason for going to stay with Alvin wasn't because you are now his wife, it's because you're jealous seeing him with?. ( Ponders in thought, before proceeding further with her words) "oh yes!! Miss Tonia".
"What, how did you find that out?".
( A stunning look grabs on my countenance)
In return, she placed her hand on my face and left me gazing confused.
"Bye sis?".
( Tori ran behind her and I got into my car, driving to my new home)
Authors note that
Alvin seemed to be acting strange, and to top that up, he brings in a lady, called Tonia.
