EPISODE 29 ?????
Written by divine purpose ????
Irene sat in on her bed when she heard a knock on the door of her room
“Come in ” She said and Mj peeked in
“Come out for a while ” he said and closed back the door
Irene sighed and checked her wristwatch
“Where is Leo? He should be back by know” she said and walked out of the room
“Let’s go for some beer together ” Mj said as she walked downstairs
They both walked to a bar and ordered for two bottles of beer
“I don’t drink, why are we suddenly drinking beer? ” Irene asked as Mj drank a cup
“You, do you like me? ” he asked and Irene looked at him
“Pardon? ”
“Stop Acting innocent and answer my question. I like you that’s why I want to stop the wedding i do not want to become your step brother ” he said and Irene sighed
“I like you too but……. I do not want to cause any trouble, don’t even try to stop the wedding, it can’t between us, you know that too ” Irene said and walked out of the bar and Mj ran to after
He grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to himself
“Why? You like me but you do not want to stop the wedding, why are you so cheap? “he said and Irene scoffed
“Why should I stop the wedding? She’s my mom afterall ” She said and jerked her hand away.
“Then what happened between the both of you? Judging from your words, you love your mom a lot and you want her to be happy ” Mj said and tears gathered in Irene’s eyes
“Do you know that when families hate themselves and separate, it is probably because they are disappointed in each other, but my story wasn’t like that, My dad was accused and arrested for murder, my mom separated because she couldn’t raise me alone…. ” she paused as tears dripped from her eyes
“I woke up one day and couldn’t find my mom, she vanished and left a letter ” she said as more tears dripped from her eyes
Mj was dumbfounded for a while
He just continued to stare at her
“I just want to live a quiet life , I do not want my family story to destroy you and your father’s relationship ” she said and turned to go but Mj stopped her
“I thought people called you a badass because you are one but right now you are not acting like one ” he said and hugged her
“When I like people, it is a big deal ” he said and patted her back.
Leo who was on his way to the bar saw Irene and Mj outside, they were hugging each other and Irene was probably in tears
“Why are you always crying when you are with him? ” he thought to himself and turned back
“Why can’t you shed those tears when you are with me instead ” he said to himself and walked away
????????????????
Irene and Mj walked back home together in an silence
They were about to enter when Irene stopped
“I have a question to ask? ” She said and Mj arched his brow
“Can I like you? ” She asked as Mj stared at her
“I want to fall in love with you and be open about it, can I do that? ” She asked but Mj just at her with shock
********************
Leo sat on a bench outside
It was a very cold night
He sighed as he recalled what Riele said
“once you and Mj finds about this, I don’t think you would be able to forgive me ” he said and sighed out loud
He recalled when he saw Mj and Irene hugged
” I won’t give up on you” he thought and dialled Irene’s number
“Hello? ” Irene said on the other side of the phone
“It’s me ”
“I know, where are you? Hurry up and come home ” Irene said
“Irene ”
“Hm? ”
“I’m just a street away from Mj’s house, Can you come out for a moment ” he said
“Alright, I will be right there ” Irene said and hanged up
He sighed and wore his jacket
“I should do this even if it’s once ” he said and nod
************
Irene walked out of the house and walked to where Leo was
“Why aren’t you coming inside? ” She asked and Leo smiled
“I wanted to say something to you ” he said and it suddenly started to rain
“Oh my goodness, I didn’t know it was going to rain ” Irene said and Leo took off his jacket and wore it for her
“Thanks, let’s get somewhere to hide then we can talk ” She said and wanted to leave but Leo grabbed her hand and pulled her by her waist to himself
“What are you doing? ” She asked and tried to release herself but Leo was more stronger
“I told you I like you but why are you always looking at him ” he said and Irene arched her brow
“What do you mean? ”
“Look at you acting innocent again ” he said and Irene tried to release herself again
“It’s raining heavily ” she said
“I like it this way, I want it this way ” he said and placed his lips on hers
Irene’s eyes widened with shock as she didn’t know what to do
She removed her lips and took a step backward
“Leo, I’m sorry but I don’t think….. ” She didn’t complete her statement before Mj appeared from nowhere and punched Leo making him to fall
“Mj ” Irene yelled and he grab her hand
“What do you think you are doing right now? ” Leo asked but he ignored him
“Let’s go ” he said to Irene
“Why did you punch him? ” Irene asked
“You belong to me, don’t you ever see any guy alone again ” he said and Leo smirked and glared at Mj
“What did you just say, she belongs to you? ” he asked and Mj looked at him
“Don’t you ever lay your hands on her again because if you do, I won’t let you get away with it ” he said and dragged irene away with him
