TRUTH AND LIES
(Last moments as Nigel)
Episode 43
Mico’s Pov continues:
“Mi…”
“Y…yes, sir. I know, I know, and I’m deeply sorry. Please, forgive me, sir” I cut Angelo who was about calling my name and the confusion on their faces became more pronounced.
I took the bucket off my head and turned to Alyssa.
“I’m sorry, I need to go. there’s something I’m doing for Mr Mico and I’m supposed to be there by now.” I told her and the expression on her face made it obvious she was still confused.
“But…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll give you a call” I interrupted her as I gave her the bucket and walked towards the car.
I winked at Angelo and Michael but they kept staring at my head like I was having a burning flame on it.
I touched my head and that was when I realised I was still putting on the crazy flower Alyssa had given to me.
I took it off and threw it on the floor before walking into the car.
“Come on, guys. Please” I whispered to them and they shook their heads before returning to the car.
The driver took off immediately and I was sitting in between them.
I kept biting my nails and they also didn’t say a word to me.
They just kept staring through the windows beside them.
Goodness.
I have a feeling I’m in for serious trouble.
I turned and looked at them but they didn’t stare at me and then I continued biting my nails.
Let the worst happen.
The drive was very silent until we got home and lucky me, mum wasn’t at home at that moment.
Angelo and Michael just came out of the car and waited for me to come out as well.
I walked out like a baby who was about being punished by his parents and Angelo and Michael waited for me to walk in front before following me behind.
I walked quietly to the sitting room and unfortunately, my sisters were there as well.
They were all giggling into Karen’s phone, but immediately they saw me, they left their mouths open in surprise.
I was looking like a house boy.
Angelo and Michael came in immediately.
“Mico…”
‘What the hell happened to you?”
“Why are you dressed up this way?”
They all asked at the same time and Angelo and Michael took a seat while I remained standing in front of them.
“Angelo? Michael? What happened to him?” Karen asked and Michael crossed his legs.
“We found our beloved brother dressed like this with an empty bucket on his head, running around the streets like a vulture with Alyssa” Michael replied and Karen, Octavia and Olivia pulled a muddled face.
“Okay. What are you talking about?” Olivia asked with a scoff and Angelo looked at me.
“Explain” he said and relaxed properly on the chair.
I cleared my throat and touched my forehead.
“Actually….” I started and coughed.
“it’s not what you think”
“And whoever asked for what we think? We only want you to explain Mico”.
How will I get out of this?
“Okay. Uhm…you see, Alyssa and I…We. ..its a long story, guys” I said with a depressed sigh and tried sitting down but to shocking enough, Angelo kicked me on my butt; and I screamed and stood up.
“Ouch! Seriously?” I asked with a grin, holding my butt.
“This is just the beginning, Mico. It seems mum has made a mistake in not trashing you when you were a kid.
Now, if you don’t spill out the truth, we’re going to rip your heart open and see it for ourselves” Michael said and I held my chest.
“Carnivores.
Where’s mum? She’s the only savior I have” I said and turned to the direction of the stairs.
“Oh, mum. That’s such perfect idea. Because I’m pretty sure she’d be more curious for an explanation than we all are” Octavia said and that was when I knew I was trapped.
There’s no escaping this.
I’ve been fully busted.
