Mia got to her room and placed the package on the table, then her cell phone rang, She picked it up after seeing the caller ID.
“Hello Justin”. she said and Justin’s voice came from the other end.
” Hey Mia, did you get the package?”. He asked.
“Package? You are the one that sent it?”
“Yes, so have you opened it?”.
” Not yet, am about to “.
“OK, go ahead, I will call you back later”. They hung up.

THEO’S OFFICE
Theo was staring knowingly at Ryan who sat on the couch lost in thought.
” Ryan”. he called.
Ryan raises his face to him.
“mm”.
” What are you doing?”. he asked.
“Nothing”. he replied.
“What are you thinking, every time you are always lost in thought”.
” Am not”.
“Don’t play pretense with me, I am brother and I understand you better, you can’t fool me you know”. He stood up from his seat, walked up to him, and sat down facing him. ” Now tell me, Are you in love with her?”.
“In love with who?”. he asked confusedly.
” You know who I am talking about, do you love Mia?”.
“Why did you say that?”.
” Because you can’t fool me, I noticed the night at the club when you got angry because of the way Marvin and the rest were drooling over Mia, You couldn’t stand it, so, tell me do you love her?”.
“Don’t say silly things Bro, Mia and I are just casual friends, nothing more”.
” I don’t believe you, you like that girl, I will advise you to take the bold step of asking her out before someone else does”.he left for his seat.
“I am falling for her, we are just friends”.
” But friendship can turn into lovers, stop deceiving yourself and go for it, Don’t come and cry to me if you caught up with another man”.
“I am not”. Ryan said and Theo scoffed.
” Yeah right “.
” Whatever”. he sighed and his cell phone rang, he saw the unknown number ID and picked it up.”Hello”.
“Hey cousin, how are you?”. The voice asked from the other end of the phone and Ryan recognized the voice.
” Lisa?”.
“Yes, cousin, do you miss me?” she chuckles from the other end of the phone.
“Why are you calling me with a strange number?”.
” That’s my new number”.
“Where are you?”.
” Well, am in the airport, am calling for you to come pick me up”. she said.
“Seriously, you are back?”.
” Yes, hurry up and come pick me up from the airport”.
“Ok, just hold on, I will be right there”. He hung up.
” Lisa is back?”.Theo asked.
“Yeah, I will go and pick her up from the airport”.
“OK, I will catch you guys later”.
” Sure”. He stood up and walked away shutting the door behind him.
An hour later, Ryan was driving back from the airport with Lisa sitting in the front seat. She has dazzling eyes a round face and a slim body.
She has lived all her life in the state and now she is back to spend some time with the Williams.
“Ryan, we can’t stop by a restaurant, I am hungry”. she said.
” We can’t, Mom is already preparing a meal for your arriver”. he said.
“But I am starving, you took longer to get to the airport”.
” Don’t blame me, the traffic was terrible, you don’t expect me to beat the traffic light because of you”.
“You are being rude and annoying”.
” Yeah, whatever”.
“Come on Ryan, am hungry”. she begged making a baby face.” Come on”.
“Fine!”. He sighs tiredly at her.” You are such a pain in the neck”.
“Yeah, that’s why you love me”. she teases.
” You are unbelievable”. he scoffs.
“Thank you, You are the best”.
Some minutes later, they arrived at an exclusive restaurant and were directed to their seat.
“Will you starve to death if it takes us one hour to get home?”. Ryan asked.
” What’s wrong in having a meal first before going on, I can’t stand another minute, I am damn starving”.
“Is almost seven pm, don’t you think Mom will be worried?”.
” What? Are you buying the food or not? Or are you going to lecture me? But don’t worry, I have enough space in my stomach to enjoy Aunt’s delicious meal”. She said and the waiter came to collect their orders. Lisa made the orders while Ryan was operating his phone. “Hurry”. she said to the waiter.
” Yes ma”. he bowed and walked away.
“So, Ryan, tell me, do you have a girlfriend?”. She asked.
” Why are you asking?”.
“I just want to know, don’t be a boring cousin”.
” None of your business”.
“So, you do have a girlfriend, so, tell me, who is she? What does she look like? Is she beautiful?”. she asked curiously and Ryan sighed tiredly at her.
” Will you stop asking”. He continues with his phone.
“You are so annoying” ” She frowns. Soon enough the waiter came with their orders.
“Please enjoy”. He smiles and walks away.
“Hmm, yummy”. she said and started eating.” This tastes nice”.
Ryan takes a scoop of his meal and suddenly his eyes catch sight of a familiar figure walking in with a guy. His focus was shifted to them, he couldn’t help but drool over Mia who was looking astonished at the gown, Then his eyes shifted to the guy leading her to the seat, and he clenched his fist.
Lisa noticed he wasn’t touching his food, instead, he was lost on something.
Meanwhile, Mia and Justin sat down as the waiter was taking their orders.
“Is that all?” The waiter asked.
“Yes, that will be all for now”. Justin replied him.
” Ok, I will be right back”. he said and walked away.
“Woah, this place is amazing”. Mia exclaimed. ” This place looks expensive”.
“Do you like it?”. he asked smiling at her.
” Yeah, but don’t you think their meal here will be too much?”.
“It doesn’t matter, but I bet you, you are going to love their meal”. he reassures her.
” Ok, if you say so”.
“Am happy you agree to go on this date with me”.
” Is nothing, am happy I honor the invitation”. They chuckle. “I love this atmosphere”. She looked around amazingly and her eyes met with Ryan’s, She was surprised and quickly turned her face away
” Are you ok?”Justin asked seeing how uncomfortable she became.
“Yes, am fine”.
” Are you sure?”.
“Yes”. she smiled forcedly.
Meanwhile, Ryan couldn’t get his gaze off her, Lisa noticed and traced his eyes to see who he was staring at.
” Do you know her?”She asked shifting his attention to the table.
“Yeah”. he sipped from his wine and started eating, Lisa could see the jealous look in his eyes.
” Is she your girlfriend?”. she teases and Ryan ignores her.
Mia and Justin started eating after the waiter served them their order. She was looking so nervous, wondering why Ryan was here, and who is the young lady with him.
“You like the food?”. Justin asked jolting her out of her thoughts.
“Yes, it tastes nice “. she replied nervously
” Am glad you like it”. he smiles.
“Yeah, so you come here a lot?”. she asked.
” Yes, with my family”.
“Hmm, that’s nice”. They chuckle.
” So, have you heard from Maya?”.
“Yes, we talk almost every day”.
” That’s good to know, I really own her an apologize for misjudging her”.
“You don’t have to, she will understand”.
” Yeah, am happy for her, but I think I was too late”.
“Maybe”. they chuckle.
” I must say, Maya is an amazing woman any man will wish to have”.
“You can say that again, At first, I thought this whole thing between her and Mr.williams would be torture for her, but now, she is happy with him”.
” Yeah, Mr. jayden is a lucky man though, I hope she treats her well before someone else takes his place”.
“And who could that be? You?”. she asked smiling.
” No, I can’t beat up with Mr. Jayden, What I mean is someone that has the same position as him”.
“I don’t think that will ever happen”.
” I hope so too”. They laugh and continue enjoying their meal.
Ryan and Lisa were done with their meal, he called the waiter’s attention and paid for their meal.
“Have a blessed evening sir”. he said to them as they stood up and walked away, Lisa wrapped her arms around his arm, and Mia stared after them and let out a sigh.
Along the driveway, Ryan keeps having the thought of Mia with that guy.
” Is he her boyfriend? Are they dating?”. he asked himself as he speed up the car, Lisa was busy with her phone. “Why can’t I get this off my head? You have to stop thinking about it, Ryan, She is with someone else”. He felt pain in his chest and was trying to control his emotions.

” I really had fun today, You made my day”. Justin said.
“Me too”.
” I wish to do this more often with you”.
“Me too, I had fun, thank you”.
” What are friends for”. He kissed her cheek.”Good night”.
“Good night”. She came down and they bid each other goodbye before she went inside and Justin zoomed off.
