38. A call to dinner.

He whispered to himself as he ended the call,

"She always knew how to get to me and I sure keep falling for it every time," he smiled and kept the phone back in his suit breast pocket.

He later took at the phone to call Alexa.

********

Meanwhile Alexa and her family were having a good time together watching a movie on the TV in their mom's room. It was an adventure movie and it was very interesting.

She laid down with her mom on the bed while Jerry sat on the couch by the bed while he ate some popcorn.

Alexa's phone rang and she picked it out of her bag and it easy Bryan. She excused herself telling them it was from work.

As soon as she was out of the room she picked the call.

"Hello Sir good evening," Alexa greeted quietly.

"Where are you?" he asked quickly.

"I am at the hospital with my family, it is weekend so I wanted to stay longer with them but I lost track of time and I will be heading to the house now sir." Alexa said because she felt Bryan was mad at her because he did not respond to her greeting.

"There is no problem, all is good there?" Bryan asked.

She was surprised at the way he changes his tunes. Sometimes when she felt he was mad he automatically do act as if he has a heart. But Bryan was lovely but very strict and hardly smiles except when he wanted to torture her.

"Yes Sir all is well," Alexa said.

"Well we would be having dinner together tonight at my grandpa's mansion," Bryan said swiftly.

"Tonight?"

"Yes tonight dear, that is my grandparents for you. Besides my grandma pleased with me to come over and she missed you too as well," Bryan explained

"Well if so you can not refuse her and so not worry I will get a cab and come home now and then change we can leave then," Alexa said.

"A cab? where is Fidelis?" Bryan asked.

'She should not have said that,' she whispered to herself.

"I told him to go home that I wanted to be here alone, I am sorry sir," Alexa felt she was in trouble and so was Fidelis because Bryan will be pissed at him.

Bryan took a deep breath, everyone seemed to be pissing him sort of this evening.

"It is OK, I am coming to get you, stay right there and do not enter a cab," Bryan said.

"Oh OK Sir, I will be Waiting for you at the hospital," Alexa said.

Bryan told his driver to take him to the hospital where Alexa was.

Alexa got inside the room again and her mom asked if all was well she said yes that she had a business dinner with some colleagues that she totally forgot about.

"A dinner? sounds fancy. What will you be wearing? not this again right?" her mom asked her.

"No mother I will be going To my friend's place to change and both of us will go together. So I will have to leave you now mom and I will come see you tomorrow," Alexa said.

"You must not come always, you work during the week you should rest this weekend at least tomorrow. Jerry and I are doing just fine and we can call you if we need anything or the doctor tells us anything new my daughter," her mom said.

"Are you sure mom?" Alexa asked.

"Yes my Darling rest tomorrow please. You look worn out," her mom said.

"OK mom. I will try." she kissed her mom and her mom blessed her with the sign of the cross and she kissed Jerry, rubbed his hair.

"Goodnight sis, see you soon," Jerry said.

"Call me Jerry for anything," she winked at him and threw a blown air kiss at him.

"Bye mom," she shouted as she hurried out of the room.

"Look good so you can meet an a new guy," her mom said as she smiled.

"Jerry?" Marcella called.

"Yes mom!" he answered.

"Is your sister seeing Someone new? has she told you anything that you feel she is hiding from me?" she asked.

"No mom, do not worry,whatever it is I know one day she will definitely tell us. So do not bother your little heart OK?" Jerry replied his mom.

"OK if you say so. But you as well need to start going home, it will soon be late and I do not like you walking at night." Marcella said.

"I want to stay with you it is weekend," Jerry said.

"You had a long day at that party go home and rest too and all of you should take a break from taking care of me," she said.

"Mom it is not stressful being here jeez just enjoy the company," Jerry said.

"I have. Now I want you to go home and eat and study then go to bed. I am fine here besides my telenovela will soon start." she said.

"OK fine can I at least finish this movie with you then I will go," Jerry said.

"Promise?" Marcella asked.

"I promise. Jeez you really want to get ride of us so soon," Jerry said while his mom dragged him to herself and cuddled with him.

"Naughty boy," she called him and they all laughed and continued their movie.

Soon Bryan arrived and Alexa noticed the car and the driver standing beside it to open the door for her, she went to meet him and got into the car and thanked him.

"Good evening Bryan," Alexa said.

"Good evening honey," Bryan replied.

"Thank you for coming to get me." she said as she kept her distance from him as they sat.

"Where to now Sir," the driver asked.

"To the house, we would freshen up and then head to the mansion," Bryan replied.

Alexa looked at him closely and took her eyes off as he looked back at her direction and they drove off.
