Isabel's POV

So Tasha decided to pay Bosco a visit at his house so I tagged along since I intended spending the night. I sincerely wanted to see him, but Tasha had ulterior motives.
 A young guy opened the door. I gaze at him in shock since I was never informed that there was a new occupant.
 "Good evening to you" he said calmly, he seemed shy. I've met all of Bosco's relative, but this one didn't look familiar. 
"Abeg who be this one?" Tasha whispered to me, "Okay who are you?" I asked, "I'm sorry dear, let me be the one to make the introduction" Bosco walked towards me then wrapped his hands around my waist.
 "Kechi, where can I get toilet paper?" A lady called out to the maid, she seemed really mature and still unfamiliar.  
All I wanted that moment was a freaking explanation. "What's going on Bosco?"
"Does the name Joseph Bassey ring a bell to you?" He asked and I blinked my eyes in thought.
 "Sweetheart I don't keep names of your clients" I replied then i laughed nervously.  His smile suddenly moulded into a frown. I heard him scoff, "Isabel, Joseph Bassey is not my client. Does the name Bassey even ring a bell?"
"Sweetheart you know I'm bad with names"
"Peter found my brother, Joseph here is the last child of the family"  he announced.
 For a moment I almost slapped my forehead for being so forgetful. I smiled moving close to him then I placed my palm on his cheek. "Hello cutie, I see the cuteness runs in the blood" I chipped now turning over to Bosco who had that disappointing look all over his face. Tasha just stood there with a fake smile glued to her face.
"Your brother is an amazing man, I hope you'll be one too. Even when someone does something really bad, he forgives. I love him cause he has a very big heart" I emphasize trying to pass a message to him. 
I saw him smile; I knew the coast was clear for me.
"Joseph would be staying with me as from today" "What?" Tasha and I exclaimed, "Bosco I know you've always spoken about your lost siblings and I know you love them cause I can see it in your eyes but" I paused,  "But what?" He asked, "I think what my sister is trying to say is that,you we don't handle charity cases here. You can always take him elsewhere or find a place he can stay. I know you're capable"
"Tasha you just called my brother a charity case"
"Look at how he's dressed now? Is it not worth calling him a charity case" "Tasha!" I warned, "Until now, he didn't exist so stop acting like he's everything. Isabel you better tell him you don't want to take care of a grown up even before you give birth" she busted in ibo language. 
"Tasha can you actually hear yourself?" Bosco asked, he seemed hurt.
"Tasha would you just shut up" I demanded trying to get my thoughts together. "What Tasha is trying to say is that, isn't it too early to decide that he stays here, I mean you barely know him, he might be a thief" 
"I won't stand here and watch you insult my son!" Madam Jane shouted. "Come on Joseph it's clear you're not invited here. We're leaving"
"Please don't" Bosco begged. "This is all a big  disagreement, please don't leave" he begged  and I sighed in worry. I was lost for words.
 Bosco clearly wasn't happy with the way Tasha and I responded. He barely spoke to me. Even when I tried to kiss him in bed, he rejected it. 
"I'm sorry, not tonight" he answered but I wasn't ready to go the night without reconciliation.
"I know you're angry because I forgot"
"It's okay Isabel, can we sleep?" "No! Not until we talk this out like couples!" I yelled.
 "You're angry with me, just admit it. I know you won't like to admit it but you are"
"Why aren't you always interested in what I have to say?"
"I am, I'm just forgetful"
"Cause you don't care"
"Bosco they bore me. That's the truth. I care about how you feel but I won't let your sad  past dictate or prevail over our relationship. We should have priorities."
 "They're my first priority" he replied. I felt hurt. "Where do I come in?" I asked trying to play the victim so I could get some sympathy vote and wiggle myself out of this issue.
"Darling you're my first priority, all I want is for you to be okay health-wise." I folded my legs then held his hands softly. 
It was definitely working, he was already warming up to me.
"I do remember you said if you find your siblings you might get okay. You found one already. Let's try to test this doctor's theory rather than fight over crazy matters" I advised then moved my lips close to him kissing him.
"Dr. Sommy was fired from work" he blurted out, "I don't know where I'll find another therapist but I honestly do not want to go to another therapist to tell him the story of my life" 
"Right now I don't care" I planted a kiss on his bare chest. "All I want now is you" I said in the most sexy way that could turn a robot on. 
I mounted on him kissing him and taking off all i wore. Nothing happened.  I still didn't know why I bother trying.
 Another disappointing night with him when could be having some good-good loving with my new toy.

 

Bosco's POV

As much as I wanted to have that brotherly time with Joseph, work didn't allow me. I left him before seven in the morning. Madam Jane had assured me she'll leave only when she's sure Joseph is in good hands. 
Dr. Sommy has refused picking my calls, I wanted to let her in on the good news. 
The following week, I had a visit from a lady who claimed he was sent by Dr. Sommy to be a replacement. She was too calm and too reserved. "I'm sorry but you can tell Dr. Sommy that I don't need a replacement"
"But she asked me to"
"And I just said no. I'm sorry but as you can see" i pointed to the documents around. "I have a lot of things I want to do"
"Okay" she replied, "I shall take my leave now" she answered rising up from the chair. "One second" I called her attention, "When you call her" I paused, "Tell her if she doesn't come back to finish what she started, let her not bother sending me any more replacement" I warned with a grin and she left. 
These days without Dr. Sommy have been frustrating, I have grown seriously fond of her. Filda stopped by at the office to drop a wedding invitation card. She would be getting married the following month. 
"Seriously?" I asked in shock.
 "Are you pregnant?" I added and she rolled her eyes. "Why does everyone assume the same thing"
It was only logical for me to think so; I mean we're in Nigeria, when a wedding is being rushed it obviously means the lady is pregnant. Suddenly there was a long pause from her. 
"You're pregnant? How?"
"He came inside me and biologically my ovaries got fertilized" she explained and I laughed. I miss having that humour around. She laughed too. 
"I miss Dr. Sommy" she confessed. "I do too" I admitted. "Getting pregnant was our mistake but we're doing this and I just wanted to invite you. "
"Thanks, I really appreciate you inviting me"
"Have you heard from Dr. Sommy"
"She claims she's in love with Enugu and she wants to start a life there but if you ask me, I think she's only faking it"


Sommy's POV

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Filda and Mrs. Ajayi walk through the door. It was on a Saturday. "What happened to your hair?" Filda asked and I scratched it. 
"Long story cut short, losing my weavon by myself went wrong so I had to take it all off." I explained. 
"You don't look so bad" Mrs Ajayi commented and I chuckled. "Thanks I've always been told that I'll still look pretty even with a sack covered over my face."
"Who told you that?" Mrs. Ajayi laughed, "The same boyfriend that cheated on you?" She snapped and Filda tapped her. I never knew they had gotten so close. I wondered what must have happened since I left. 
"I'm over it guys, Joshua is so last year"
Mrs Ajayi suddenly let out an high pitch laughter, I hate when she does that! 
"Iffa hear." She replied laughing uncontrollably. Her gaze fell on Ben who had just walked into the room to pick a novel he was reading then he left. Mrs Ajayi bit her lip, seductively staring at him. 
 "Oh my God is he single?" She asked and I rolled my eyes. "When I've you ever cared if they're single or not?" I asked and she chuckled. "You're right" she still bit her lip dreamingly, her fingers made way into her mouth. "God I wonder if he's a bomb in bed"
"Would you stop being a slut for a second"
"Come on he's good looking and he's got a nice ass" she commented and I laughed. If only she knew Ben's health status.
 I missed her craziness though. "What are you two doing here?" I asked and she hugged me. "I missed you already, how long has it been, two years?"
"It's only been two weeks" "It feels like forever" she answered and I turned over to Filda. "You need to come back to Lagos at least for my wedding next month" "Are you pregnant?" I asked and she scoffed then gave me a look. There was my answer, she was definitely pregnant.  
"You're getting married and you're just telling me"
"It's not my fault you're far away" "You can always call." "Lagos needs you"
"I can't. I applied here and I've been called up by Mental wealth center, I have a job and I'm to resume on Monday" "You can't possibly go without fighting back" "Why should I fight back? Lawrence fired me" 
"If you had fought back"
"What part of Dr. O'Brien threatened him didn't you get?" I snapped then I noticed the two of them smirk like witches. 
"Okay what happened?" I asked and Mrs Ajayi sat on the chair with her her right leg crossed over the left. I sat close to her, I knew there was an incoming gist.
"You two better start spilling"
"After you left, I went to Dr. O'Brien so he can be a replacement for you"
"You're a b*tch" I snapped. I felt bad that she would quickly seek for a replacement. "I didn't go because I needed his professionalism, I just wanted to fuck him" she confessed and I laughed. It made sense now.
"What happened? He had a p*nis the size of a nail cutter?" I snapped and they both laughed.
"I didn't get to see it"
"That's impossible"
"Exactly what I thought, he rejected my offer so I decided to do a little digging on him. Guess what I found?" 
"What?" I was dying of suspense. "The only reason he turned me down is because he's gay... I wasn't his type" 
"This doesn't make sense, he likes Filda"
"The same thing I thought so you can imagine the shock I had when Mrs. Ajayi told me about this" Filda answered, then she gave a cold shudder. 
"I've never like to have s*x over there" she added and we all laughed about it. 
"What do you guys want me to do?" I asked, "You can use it against Dr. O' Brien, get him to resign"
I stood up folding my hands as I gave the proposal a deep thought, "That sounds dirty and as much as I love the idea of having to put that idiot in his place, I can't. I have to start all over here"
"Abeg make I hear word, I need you back"
"Bosco needs you" Filda chipped in and I rolled my eyes. "I'm not his girlfriend, why would he need me?" 
"To continue treatment besides he misses you"
"He does?" I asked, a smile crept through my cheek. "I'm pretty sure you have hundred missed calls from him, he said you haven't been picking up his calls" "I didn't want to, I didn't feel like it but does he really ....miss me?" I asked, "How badly does he miss me?" I added and Filda chuckled.
 "Why don't you find out for yourself" she replied and my smile widened for reasons I don't know.
"Okay who is this Bosco that's making Sommy blush?" Mrs Ajayi asked, "He's the guy you met the other day at the office" I answered, "And I wasn't blushing" I added then scoffed. "Why would I blush?"
"Sommy you like him" she guessed and I wondered where she got the ridiculous idea from. "Are you sure you're not high on s*men?" I snapped, I'm pretty sure the last person she had s*x with was high on refnol.
"Don't be ridiculous, I don't like Bosco and he has a girlfriend. What's there to like"
"What's there not to like? The guy has a body and stature of a god"
"You haven't even seen him naked"
"Well you don't have to see a guy naked before you picture him naked" she answered softly and I threw a pillow at her.
 "I really don't want to be in your dirty mind right now" I laughed then she held the pillow close to herself. "I didn't take a flight to Enugu to take no for an answer. Are you coming back or not? What would your answer be?"
