*_Chapter 25_*
*Natasha's POV*
"Oscar don't say anything evil".
"Mmmm. I'm a man of God, Tasha. Nothing evil can come from my mouth"😏
"Just say what you want to say🙄".
"Alright. I dare you to climb this table and yell that you think I'm awesome. That's if you think. If you don't think so, you can sit back😌😌 and remember all liars go to hell"🤣🤣
If eyes could kill, Oscar would be dead and buried right now.
"Oscar, don't be like that. Everyone will think I'm crazy and they'll take videos too"😩😩
"Excuse me, did you say something?" He said and I glared at him.
"Well, I don't think you're awesome😏", I said.
"Do you know what happens to liars?"
"Why do you think I'm lying. Don't be so narcissistic"🙄
"Mmm, alright let's move on to the next question. I'll surely get you again".
"Mmm. We'll see about that".
We kept on asking questions and giving outrageous dares till we got tired and left.
On our way home, we played loud music and sang along.
Oscar was very bad with the lyrics and his voice was horrible.
"Oscar please, you're spoiling the song", I yelled. He ignored me and kept singing.
I just had to endure it and sing along.
I looked at the backseat of his car and I saw a book I wrote with my dad. I was really surprised.
"You read?" I asked.
"Not really. Why?"
"Just saw the book on your back seat", I said, taking the book.
"My sister left it in my car when I dropped her off the last time".
"Mmm, have you read it?".
"Just a few pages will continue when I get the time . It's interesting and inspiring , you should read it?"
"Mmm, alright. The authors are really good looking especially the lady", I said.
"Wow. You're into ladies now", he said.
"Check it out", I said giving the book to him and he glanced at it.
"She's cute. Wait..." he said grabbing the book. "That's you!!" He exclaimed and I wiggled my brows.
"And who's the man at the left", he asked, giving the book back.
"My dad".
"Wow, you wrote a book with your dad. Impressive. I didn't know that you write. I mean I know you like writing. Every psychologist likes doing that🙄. But I didn't know that you had a book", he said.
"Yeah, I do. I've published three. This was the first one. I started it and stopped, my dad picked it and finished it up".
"That's great. You're really good. With just the few pages I read, I learnt something new and it's interesting too".
"Thank you".
"When are you publishing your next book?"
"Not sure. I've not had the time".
"You're just lazy. I'll read this book and your other books, if they're so nice, then you'll be receiving pressure from me", he said and I rolled my eyes.
"Hmm, and you call me narcissistic but you complimented yourself", he said and I laughed.
We finally got home and I quickly got out.
"Bye Oscar. I'm sorry but I have to rush in, I don't want my parents to see you and ask a lot of questions".
"Mmm, are you still a teenager"?
"You won't understand. Bye Oscar", I said and ran off.
When I got in, my parents were sitting in the living room.
With the way they looked at me, I could tell that something was up.
"Good evening", I said to them.
"That was April, huh?" My mum said, teasing.
"How do you know that it's not April", I said.
"That's not April's car and she'll not just drive off without walking in here to say something ", my mum said.
"Okay, you got me. That's my friend, Oscar".
"Mmm, Oscar? You've never spoken about him before"my dad said.
"That's because he's just a friend", I said.
"Mmm, if he's just a friend. Why did you lie?" My mum asked.
"Cos, I didn't want this to happen".
"So he's more than a friend and......"
"Abbbeeebbllluublaahhhh.......", I said, blabbing words that didn't make sense and I ran off.
I wasn't ready for this conversation. When I got to my room, I dived on the bed and thought of everything that happened today.
God, I thank you for bringing Oscar into my life. He's just amazing.
After thinking about the day, I got off my bed, had a shower and then I texted Oscar, making sure that he got home safely and I also thanked him for today and then I slept off.
*Oscar's POV*
I was so excited and happy today.
Mr brother, Vincent was back in the country.
I was taking him around, showing him new places and we were catching up too.
"So you still work there?" He asked me.
"Yeah".
"And you're cool with the pay?"
"Yeah, I am. Why? Do you have somewhere better for me?" I asked him.
"Yeah, but not in this country", he said.
"You know I can't leave here", I said.
"Mmmm. Why not? Your excuse before was Mabel, but now she's gone. So what's the new one? And don't tell me mum. She's going to be fine".
"Mmmm...uhmmm, I'm just comfortable here".
"Hmm...or you've got someone new", he said and I couldn't stop myself from smiling.
"Oh, you're already in love again!!" He exclaimed.
"No, no. I just have this female friend and I'm really fond of her. She makes me happy and undertands me. I don't want to rush things with her. I'm taking it slowly, don't want to do that rebound thing", I said.
"Take what slowly? You've fallen bro, I can see it clearly", he said, laughing.
"I can't conclude on that yet and she's still into her ex".
"Oops. Girls with exes they're still into can be dangerous".
"That's my problem. I have to be careful and not get myself hurt again. But she's a good friend. Completely honest and just perfect. I've not seen her flaws yet but I'm not sure it'll be that bad".
"Hmm, true. What's even wrong with you? After Mabel, you should have relaxed and not get a female friend".
"I didn't happen that way. She was my psychologist and then we just became really close".
"Mmm, well, just be careful", he said and I nodded.
"So what's up with you?" I asked him.
"Just work, work, work", he said.
"When do you intend to settle down with a lady. You've always be so focused on work", I said to him.
"I've not found the right one yet".
"How can you find something when you're not even searching".
"Hmmm, you've got a point. I'm just not ready, I guess".
"Mmmm, okay", I said, dropping it.
We were on the road for a while and we decided to drop by the grocery store to get things for our sister. We were going to visit her this evening.
As we were shopping, someone covered my eyes from behind.
