Joanna's POV
I got out of the washroom and decided to check my phone and reply to some messages before I slept when my eyes spotted a certain silver foil I was told about earlier.
I opened it, and behold the <sharwama> in all its glory.
I moaned in enjoyment at the delicious goodness after I had the first bite.
Just what I needed to end the day, I thought.
I focused my attention back on the phone and noticed Frank was online.
Thank you so so much once more hunnie.
I feel so loved
Expect a beautiful kiss tomorrow, I texted.
. Your welcome baby.
Hope you had fun, he replied.
Yeah, I did.
Not too much, I hope?
I chuckled and replied, No I didn't have too much fun
Are you sure?
Yep
Very sure?
Sure, sure
Okay babe, if you say so.
Have a nice night, and save your energy for me tomorrow.
Oh, I will, I replied as I shivered in excitement and anticipation.
Night
Night❤
I was about to lock my device and get some sleep but halted as I realized I had a new message, after which checked and saw it was from a mystery guy.
Mystery Guy
Happy birthday hun
Sorry it's coming late
How did he? I asked myself stunned, though I dismissed it as I concluded he may have seen it on Facebook.
Thanks, dearie, no worries, I'm not angry. I texted.
I hope you are not angry at Frank for not being there with you today.
Now, it was getting a little scary, because how did he know that?
How did you know he wasn't around, heck how do you even know Frank? I quickly texted.
I don't know him, you know how news fly in this small town
Yeah, I get that's true.
I hope I didn't scare you?
No, not really. I lied.
Alright, I'm sure you need to rest, have a nice night.
You too dear.
I responded and immediately logged out of WhatsApp before I got more weird messages.
I shut my phone afterward and relaxed back on my bed. I thought about how weird that was, something wasn't right.
"Well I'm seeing Frank tomorrow, nothing can change my mood," I said to myself with a grin plastered on my face and dozed off.
*****
Waking up to the sound of a phone ringing is not a good way to wake up, as it could be annoying sometimes, especially when your ringtone is "Hello" by Adelle. Don't get me wrong I love that song with all my heart, I mean that was why it was, and still is my ringtone, but I just hate being woken up in the morning, except my own accord.
I groaned and tried to muffle the sound as I placed my right ear on the pillow.
Have you done that before? And have you ever noticed that you hear sounds louder on the right ear? That's why scientists say that it's bad to place your phone on your right ear when taking calls, as the radiations and sounds are higher on it.
I sighed in happiness as my phone stopped ringing, but that joy was short-lived as it started to ring again.
<Hello, It's me>
<I was wondering if after all these years you'd____
I gritted my teeth in irritation and picked it up, "What!" I yelled, to the other person on the receiving end.
I heard a chuckle before a voice spoke, "Well hello there baby, just calling to let you know I'm back."
I moaned, "Frank?"
"Yup, that's me, and it's Francis to you, dearie." He snorted.
"Sorry for being rude, I had some drinks yesterday, so my brain is a little slow this morning." I sighed.
"I thought you said you didn't have too much fun," He murmured, amusement clear in his tone.
"I didn't!" I called out in denial.
"If you say so then, are you still coming over today?" He questioned.
"Heck yeah, see you in an hour," I responded.
"Alright then, bye."
"Later," I answered, and ended the call, thereafter I jumped off the bed, all signs of sleep gone.
I quickly rushed to the bathroom, had my bath, and waddled back to my room. I faced the wardrobe while I contemplated what to wear.
"Should I put on a crop top and leggings?" I voiced out in question to no one in particular.
A dress? Nah, there was no need to stress as I would probably end up in his shirt anyway.
After much deliberation, I agreed on a short top and sweatpants. Like I had said earlier, there was no need to stress.
I went downstairs and met Dad, Elvis, Dora, and Blake which surprised me, as I had thought Blake left the previous night.
"Morning all," I greeted and walked straight for the kitchen to check if there were dishes to wash. Luckily for me, the kitchen was neat, so, no chores for me.
"Well if it isn't the eighteen-year-old sister," Elvis uttered when I returned to the living room.
I ignored him and mouthed a thank you to Dora as I was sure she was the one who had helped me out with the dishes. She smiled and nodded in response.
"Are you heading out?" Dad inquired, a questioning stare directed at me.
"Yep," I replied, the same time I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.
"No food?" Dora queried, seeing as I was set to go.
"She's going to see her boyfriend, why should she eat?" Elvis smirked.
"Yeah, why should she, when she's gonna get some meat?" Blake polled, winking, and high-fived Dora who was laughing her ass off at my expense.
Come to think of it, Dora had changed Blake, as he wasn't one to make side jokes. That was not the Blake I used to know, he could be on the receiving end of the side jokes but making them? No way.
I rolled my eyes and flipped them the finger, the same time Dad asked with a confused look, "What do you mean by meat?"
"Nothing!" I blurted hastily and ran out of the house as the others burst into laughter, except for Dad who looked like he had a stomach ache.
After I had got into my car I broke out in a giggle.
Damn! Those children are idiots. I thought, as I pulled out of the driveway and quickly texted Frank to let him know I was on my way.
I let myself out of the vehicle when I had reached his house and screamed in horror as I got tackled in a strong hug that nearly threw me off my feet.
"Holy shit, Ifeanyi!" I clamored in a sigh as I realized who it was.
"Happy Birthday partner!" Ifeanyi shrieked loudly in my ear. This made me wince and chuckle at the same moment if that's possible.
"Let go of my baby you imbecile!" I heard Frank's voice thunder as he approached us.
"Catch me if you can!" Ifeanyi jeered, threw me over his shoulder, and broke out in a sprint with Frank hot on his heels while I squealed.
"I swear to the heavens, if anything happens to her, I will end you," Frank threatened but got ignored as Ifeanyi ran into the house and went straight for the entertainment room.
"Ouch!" I yelped, as my arm mistakenly hit the side of the wall as we turned a corner.
"You hurt her!" Frank howled after he heard me yelp in pain.
"Uh, oh," Ifeanyi muttered and quickly threw me on the nearest couch.
I grumbled out a sarcastic "thank you" and sighed, though I quickly got up as I saw Frank advance slowly towards Ifeanyi, a murderous glare in his eyes.
"Ha, ha." Ifeanyi laughed nervously. "Calm down Frank, you know, one day we will all look back on this and laugh, right?"
"Ifeanyi?" I called out, to which he turned his face in my direction, " Run!"
He obeyed and ran off with Frank behind him while I trudged to the kitchen to check if there was food. Don't act so shocked, Frank wouldn't kill him I promise.
PS: I knew where the kitchen was as I had been over a few times, plus I was hungry, rememberr I didn't eat before I left the house.
