Permission

11:24pm

Edwin's apartment

"Who's it?" walking towards the door, Isabella glanced at her watch and murmured. "Who visits someone at this hour? Or maybe it's bianca. Damn she's gonna get her ass spanked for switching off her phone"

"Hi Aunt." Nelly beamed and hugged her.

Pulling away with her eyes and mouth wide open. "OMG, Nelly is this really you?" Without waiting for her reply, she added, "come in" looking at Thomas, she beamed at Nelly. "Aha, now I see the reason why you became so chubby." She chuckled.

Walking in, "oh come on Aunt, stop thinking beyond."

"Are you crazy? You know am stating some cool facts." Looking around, "where's Bianca?"

"Aunt, she's at my place." Nelly replied.

"All alone?" Without waiting for her reply, she added, "I've been calling her phone but it's switched off, why did she switched off her phone?"

"Oh her battery died, but she's charging it now." Nelly defended.

Taking a deep breath, Isabella sighed. "Whew, you have no idea how panicked I was. I thought maybe something bad had happened to her." Pausing for a while, she added, "why don't you guys make yourselves comfortable while I get a drink for us."

Vigorously nodding his head, "no Aunt, you don't have to bother yourself by doing that. Actually we came to pick some stuff for Bianca." Thomas informed.

Scrunching her brows, "stuff for Bianca? Why are you guys picking her stuffs? Isn't she coming home tomorrow morning?" Without waiting for their replies, she added, "if she's coming home tomorrow morning then there's no need to pick up her stuffs."

Awkwardly scratching her head, "well Aunt, bianca is not coming home tomorrow morning. Actually we're going on a three days trip in Honolulu Hawaii." Nelly stated.

Widening her eyes, "trip in Hawaii? But why didn't bianca tell me about this?" Without waiting for her reply, she added, "we were together this morning and she didn't say anything related to that–"

Placing her hand on her shoulders, "Aunt, please you don't have to blame her about it. Actually it was my fault, I didn't tell her about it because it slipped off my mind. You can lash out on me if you want to but please don't lash out on bianca. She has zero idea about this trip." Nelly explained.

Cupping her face, "come on and stop being silly. Why will I lash out on my baby girl, hmm?" She sighed, "it's alright, as far as you're gonna be involved in the trip, she has my permission to go."

With the widest smile on her face, Nelly beamed and hugged her. "Thanks Aunt."

Pulling away, "alright, why don't we go upstairs and get some of her stuffs?" When Nelly nodded her head, they both walked upstairs to bianca's room. Leaving Thomas downstairs in the sitting room.
