Chapter 284 Two Parallel Lines

     We got to the car and he laid Jeff at the back of the car and we got in. I was confused on why the office has to think we are Jeff's parents. What in the world would make us go look for ourselves if we are actually the parents? Sometimes I don't understand the way humans think.

   Ben was sighing non-stop and I could blame him less.

   "If we actually knew that this was not going to work, we would not have wasted our time going in to seek for answers. Look at the way the officer made us to look like fools, I do wonder how people manager to behave like this and still have their ways"

Ben lamented and I felt for him, it was a total waste of time and next line of action is what I don't know. I can't leave Jeff like this with random people. The world is dangerous so it can't be trusted.

  "It's fine, we will find away"

I said and he smiled.

  "I know we will find away, Nora but what way? If you ask me I will suggest we take Jeff home and harbour him until his people are found. I can't trust anyone with him, he just a little boy"

   Ben said and I agreed with him. But the question is whose apartment are we leaving him?.

    "He will stay with you for the meantime"

He said, like he read my thoughts.

   "If we can't find the family the human way, we find them the witch way"

   He said and what he said could only be the option we have but then, practicing magic in Beverly is so risky.

   I sighed and shut my memory.

    "We will find away"

I told myself.

   I relaxed back on my seat and put on my seat belt. Ben did the same and drove us out of the police station heading to my apartment.

   I checked the time and it was 15:30 and I spent my day doing one thing or the other. The original plans of today were not met,have I ever planned and did otherwise?. I don't know why I have to have Jeff issue to settle but I guess it is for good because his troubles made my day and it prepared me for what I am to see when I have my own kids.

   Gina and Xylie were there for me to look after but you can't compare witch kids to human kids. You see these two species, there are two parallel lines, they will never meet.

   The ordinary humans and witches can never be compared to each other.

   I shook my head and sigh again, it's what I have been doing for the most of the day.

   From the police station to my apartment was just a thirty minutes ride and in no time we got there. 

   The relief of getting home was evident on my face because I could feel the muscles on my face relaxing which means I have been frowning the whole time without knowing. 

    Ben drove in and killed the engine, we were both silent throughout the ride, I understand he was lost in his thoughts and I was lost in mine too. The whole thing was frustrating and even I was damned frustrated and I am sure Jeff too is frustrated.

   Speaking of Jeff,I looked behind to see him snoring so beautifully, like none of these is his concern.

   Kids have got no problem in the world, your best time ever is when you are a child. Nothing disturbs you because your parents got you covered.

   Ben looked at me and brought his hands towards my face,he tucked a strand of my hair behind my right ear and smiled.

  "Thanks Ben"

I said and he gave me a confused look, I didn't even know why I am thanking him.

   "Why the thank, my darling?"

He asked, then pinched my nose.

   "I don't know, maybe because I did not thank you properly for lunch and again for considering Jeff. I don't know who he is yet he is here with us and it's heartwarming so once again, thank you"

   I explained my reasons for being thankful.

   "Anything for you, my Angel, I would do anything to make you happy. Jeff likes you and I don't know why but I feel like he is someone I know. I just got this feeling and the way he behaves, gives me thoughts. Anything is possible in our world. All I know is that whoever he is, we will locate his family then deliver him to them but for now, he is our responsibility"

   He said and opened his door and stepped down, I gathered my stuff and stepped down too. 

   In no time we were walking into my apartment with sleeping Jeff in Ben's arm.

    Before going into the apartment, I saw loveth waving and smiling at us and I smiled too. When loveth became this nice is yet to be discovered but no matter what, people don't change so don't be deceived.
