Love and Deceit

I exited quickly from my aunt's demanding gaze and headed for my room oblivious of what she thought or said afterwards.

Gusty G's words resonated in my mind for a bit before I understood what point he was driving at.

By now, we have hit the interior of my little bedroom space and since it was bland and nothing like the late Gustavo has probably come to see throughout his lifetime, I can tell he must have his reservations.

Shutting the door against the other components of the house, I turned to him ready to reply him.

"Yes, Gus I feel relieved. I mean, I just got home and she brings up Concetta next. Like I have plans to see Cetta today even. It's just weird how my aunt wants to make a deal out of nothing." I mouthed out to Mr Ghost guy in a low tone.
