"CUTTING OFF THE NOSE TO SPITE THE FACE"

Both Ava and Jennifer ignored him. Broth was so furious that he took a chair to hit Jennifer. But before he could do that Ava said, "Well Alissa you know what that my cousin brother is gonna come today." She was just making an excuse so that Broth stops disturbing them and it happened as she thought, just as Broth was going to hit Jennifer his hand froze hearing Ava. He banged the chair nearby and disappeared from there.

"He just looses his temper often, ignore him. Even if he does come looking for you just blackmail him with my brother Emmett."

Jennifer nodded, she felt that Ava was really a sweet girl. She couldn't tell Ava her identity nor could she tell her that she could protect herself. But when Jennifer thought about it, she could not fight Infront of everyone and she could still not hit anyone after that day two years ago. She sighed.

"I have to go home today Ava as I have to help my mother with some chores. See you tomorrow."

"That's bad, I thought that you could accompany me to horse riding as my brother was going to come too."

"Maybe next time" Jennifer made a sorry face, bid Ava farewell and walked out of the university.

At a villa,

Emmett's phone rang, he had just showered and wore a loose grey bathrobe. His hair was wet and water was dripping out from it. The view was so sexy that a man could also drool looking at him.

He tapped for the answer icon, the phone was connected and there came a shrill voice, "Brother please let me come back to Paris. The weather here is unbearable. I have already tanned my skin, no girl will marry me now wu..wu.."

"Why have you called me?"

"Brother I heard that you were out today so you didn't attend the university."

"Yes, I would be going there tomorrow. What else?"

"Brother I miss you a lot please let me come back."

"It has already been 8 days. Why are you missing me so soon?" Emmett's voice was calm and mesmerising.

'Damn what does brother mean by missing so soon. Of course I can't stay here otherwise I will surely look like a South African. No no I can't let that happen or else how will I attract girls back in Paris' thought Derek.

"Ah brother what do you mean by missing you so soon. From the day I left Paris I was missing you. Even when I was travelling, working, sleeping and bathing.." suddenly he stopped speaking, "Oh no bro don't misunderstand me I am not a gay I was just telling you how much I missed you. Please let me come back. I promise I will not call you gay even when I know that you are, I will never call you that. If I do that then send me back to South Africa and add one week more."

"Ok, then come back after one month from now."

"Ah, one month? But it's already one week past the required time." He then realised that he again called him gay.

It was like people said , 'Cutting off the nose to spite the face.'

"I am so sorry brother, I don't mean that I am s.."

'Dut dut dut..'

The phone was mercylessly hung from the other side.

Derek slapped his mouth for saying those words and digging his own grave. He would now have to spend one month more in South Africa. 'It is surely hell living here' thought Derek.
