Chapter 100: Owing up again!

Owning up again!

Three weeks on,

Its been weeks now, I've been no talking terms with my parents. We exchanged few or no words at all because i felt i wasn't ready to talk about anything just yet, i was interested in my privacy than the sociality around. I wanted to talk to my parents, they've been so stressed and unfocused and sometimes they felt guilty and indebted to me. I realized I've done so much harm than good. I walked to their room, i stopped at the door while my right hand rested on the door handle contemplating in my head but there was no point deciding finally and not pushing through

I entered the room regardless and i met intensely cuddling. Oh my! Kareem! Why would not think about this, i cautioned myself, at least a knock could be a good alert. I turned away immediately to leave but then, mother called me back. I turned slowly while she struggled to tie up her black lacy robes, i could tell that they were having a really romantic time. 

  "What's going on, Kareem! Do you need something?" Mother asked. It was past 11pm anyways, what can i not expect?! I said to myself

  "I'm sorry for badging In that way..." I Hu BC glen

  "No son, its ok! Do you want us to talk about something, anything?" Father asked as he adjusted himself on the bed where he was sitting. They really wanted to hear me speak to them, i was moved by their countenance.

  "C'mon, we'd always listen to you, you know that?!" Mother added as she prompted me to sit next to her on the edge of their king sized bed. I sat as instructed.

  "I just want to say sorry for everything i did, the divided attentions, the unnecessary outrage....i was devastated and..." I explained. Mother interrupted immediately

  "...C'mon Kareem! We also owe you an apology. We've been hard on you lately, we should have listened. I judged too fast!" Mother stopped

  "Yes Kareem! I hope you understand that we love you and we want nothing butbthe best for you as well!"

  "Yeah of course!" I smiled faintly then mother blurted 

  "Look Khaleef, he smiled first time in a long while." They chuckled and the father tucked her side and continued

  "Like you smile for me every time!" 

Mother blushed with a pretty smile. How could they yhink that i wouldn't understand, he was trying to lead her on. They always do this in front of me, sometimes its not a coincidence-- too intentional.

  "Ok! This is not getting any cooler, i think i should leave you both go catch some feelings tonight." I opted

  "No boy! Stay with us! What do you want, we'd gladly do it." She said as father tickled her side again "Khaleeeeef! Stop it!" She called out sweetly

  "How can i stop when im..." Father began then i Interrupted

  "This is not funny!?! Good night y'all!" I said as i squeezed my way out while they collided.

The aura that engulfed me was a good sign and felt comfortable. The moment they've been waiting for had arrived, i became relieved again. 

I entered my room finally but then i felt too lonely, i remembered that i had some sleeping pills that the doctor prescribed to me sometime ago. I was overly depressed and devastated not until father invited a doctor to supervise me which was a very helpful and comforting. Like mother wouod always say, it was time to let and go move forward. Its hard to get rid of someone i felt was important to me, letting go of someone that mattered the most was a horrible decision for me.

06:45 am,

Father and i headed for the gym like we do every weekend. I ran on the thread mill while father handled the dumbbell. A girl about my age was running on a separate machine stealing glances at me but i ignored her, i increased the intensity of the speed a bit for a better result while she couldn't take off her seductive and lustful gaze. I maintained it for 10 to 15 minutes then i stopped panting heavily, i moved away from the machine to drink some water. I reached out for the bottle of water then the mystery girl who was white skinned, averagely tall, her eyes were ocean blue and a red head. She stunned anyways, she seemed nice even before we conversed. She passed a bottle to me with a pretty smile on her pink pulpy lips.

  "You can take this!" Shed offered politely

  "Never mind!" I replied rudely. There was no reason for that but my nature would not change, every strange girl that approached was crowned a 'notice-me' kind of girl in my terms and i don't fancy such females. Quick to judge right? I really don't care about that.

  "Oh sorry! I didn't mean to intrude anyway." She said as she retracted her hand.

  "Its ok!" I said proudly then i jerked the bottle from her hand and smirked "So tell me, are you up for fitness as well?" I gulps staring at her sexily, girls loved to be looked at that way that's practiced on her too.

  "Obviously! You think I'm not?" She asked in doubts, she looked unsure. She drew closer with more comfortability.

  "Girls hit the gym when they feel insecure, am i correct?" I blurted out a smile of mockery

  "Y...Yeah but..." She stuttered, she was shy already

  "No buts! Girls do that alot to make their boyfriends feel proud and confortable around them but i don't think you're insecure anyway." I said, she seemed nervous.

  "Then why are you in the gym?" She tried to taunt back

  "You wouldn't look at me twice if you didn't like what you see." I smirked proudly, she couldn't hide her shyness then i  continued "Nice physique though!' I added 

  "Oh ahh...Thanks alot. I'm Meghan Mason!" She stretched her hand for a handshake then i stared at hand up to her face, she seemed disappointed. She retracted again.

  "Im..." I began then she interrupted

  "I know who you are! Jordan Kareem Khaleefa, that super hot model that has so many features with big fashion industries, that rich guy that graduated from a Ransom Everglades High, son of a famous renounced billionaire and so much more. Who wouldn't know a guy like you..." She explained while i watch her describe me in words then i blurted

  "There's no need for formal introduction then. Ok Meghan, i should leave now. My father would waiting for me..."

  "Can i uh....can i...." She stuttered. I walked towards them whispered into her ear.

  "Don't trip too much!" I smiled then i walked away majestically. I enjoyed the fun i was having, i knew exactly how to deal with nervous girls like Meghan. I liked her already, her countenance was quite embracing.

I sighted my father coaching a few men who worked on their abs, his fancy and of course mother loves his physique which he always worked to maintain.

I scribbled my number on a paper then i instructed the Gym attendant to give the paper to Meghan, i guess that my description was vivid enough for him to understand.

07:49am,

We gathered round for the usual, breakfast. I opted for bread and jam, i didn't want to have their kind of meal. I spread the jam on my bread squarely since i disliked being messy. Mother whispered to father about something my ears couldn't reach out for them she turned to me instantly with an alluring smile on her face.

  "Baby?" She called out sweetly then i raised my head gently staring at her in slight confusion

  "Do we have a party to rock or something?" I bluntly asked with a shrug "Or maybe a permission granted for a night out at Jeff's!"

  "What night out?" She asked "The last time we attempted a sleepover, did we not struggle with condoms and cannabis?" Mother reminded as father and Yeesha chuckled to that the she cleared het throat immediately and continued "Anyway Kareem, we've got an interesting news to tell you, you'd love it!" She added

  "I can't wait to hear it!" I simply said. I could only think of anything like a car or iced chains or something relating to that.

  "Ok! You were offered an admission into Harvard university, isn't that awesome?" She said joyfully

  "That's what i want mother!" Yeesha exclaimed as she turned you me "I'm excited, Kareem!"

  "I'm proud of you, son!" Father said with a bright smile.

  "Thanks a lot,Y'all could make anything happen though!" I said with a light excitement

  "Thanks?! How could you thank us for your excellence? Something you earned? First place on a row is a whole lot of hardwork..." Mother praised me

  "With some criminal records attaining the best student for the academic year! Thats a brain!" Father praised as well.

  "Kareem has always been the talk of the day on campus, i just wonder how he blends studies with some e criminal acts!" Yeesha teased as we all laughed.

  "I did not know that i could actually atain all of that. Im so proud of me too!" I praised myself coldly

I sighed. i was excited about the good news but i was low in spirits because i began to feel lonely again, what could i not expect from my parents?! Anything could actually happen with them around.

  "Someone's bothered about being lonely huh?" Mother teased me with a smirk

  "No...Not at all its just that err..." I stuttered then she blurted

  "....Last weekend we invited the Curtis's and Marco's over for a private cocktail party abd we discussed about our kids and....we decided that our kids will eventually study in the same university to keep that special bond, is that not enough good news?!" She asked looking me straight in the eye

  "That's quite fortunate for me, I'd like love that! Good thing my friends would he there as well, that's what I've wanted all the way." I said politely. They smiled broadly.

  "And one more gift for making us prouder." Father stirred up. "Your mother and i bought the highest shares at Diamond Fashion industry which makes us Co CEO...in a few years, quite a few years you'd be a CEO." Father said while mother and Yeesha got excited while i froze. I wondered if they waited for me to turn 18, this is some beneficial set up I'd say. I smiled to shoe my appreciation but I'd prefer to work for my achievement than have my parents soirt them out for me, i have to wait and work forgot but for now I'd gladly accept their offers. We ate with a jovial feeling which happened once in a while, breakfast or dinner was a suitable location for a discourse and everything got because of me, Kareem. The lion's cub.

My phone buzzed repeatedly while i was playing a video game at Lamar's aboard. I glanced at my phone to see who but it was just a number

  "Smash or pass!" Jeff teased while our eyes were fixated on the screen

  "Are y'all set for college already?" I asked after i remembered the conversation betweeen parents.and i.

  "We got Harvard on a platter?! This shit is the best I've ever heard!" Jeff said excitedly

  "What do you expect? Mama told me about the cocktail party they had last weekend talking about us., parents though!" I added in details

  "There's nothong more exciting than having my buddies next to me through thick and thin!" Lamar added sarcastically then we threw light punches at him but deep down, we felt the same way. The mutual feeling and bond attached to it. We continued the game discussing about the stories we've heard about universities and its freedom, that alone got us even more excited to its peak. I went firther to talk about tge girl i met at the gym, i don't hide anything about flirting with girls from them and that's why they found it difficult to believe me when i said that i loved Darkie, its was a surprise to them all and even my family.

  "Who's this girl you met? I kmew you'd always flirt with more girls coming on!" Jeff blurted

  "What's that suppose to mean anyway?" I cautioned getting slightly pissed at him "I met this cute wannabe girl and that's all you have to say to me? Hoodie, i can't believe you at all!" I said

  "Believe it or not, i met a cute girl and trust me when i say she wants me badly!" I exaggerated "She's been acting weirdly and still cute!" I complimented with her absence then they laughed harder than i expected. I felt overridden but soon enough I'd get back at them, i said to myself.

  "It doesn't make any difference, does it?" Lamar asked

  "Why do you even care....like....i was only bringing up a conversation and this is all y'all got you say huh?" I scolded calmly "Nothing new is happening your loves thats why!" I taunted 

  "That's your illusion! We've got so many new things going on right now...." Jeff got defensive suddenly

  "....Like???" I questioned while they stuttered In unison then i laughed comfortably, my phone buzzed again

  "Smash or pass, man! It could be her, who knows?"  Jeff said

  "Put it on the loudspeaker most importantly!" Lamar added wkth a smirk. They nodded in accordance.

I swiped and answered also activating the loudspeaker then i began, the voice sounded like Meghan Mason

  "Speak!" I began. That answer should not be the appropriate response but i did regardless.

  "Oh uhm...Hi Jordan, its Megan. The girl from the gym." Meghan reminded

  "....I clearly remember, i don't skip!" I said rudely then she maintained her silence for a very few seconds

  "Right! I was thinking we could hangout like....meatballs...ice cream....or maybe eat out or something?" She opted politely

  "Do i look hungry to you? I think you must.have forgotten who you're talking to." I reminded teasingly

  "C'mon Jordan, its really hard to please you, you know! We can do it your way if you want..." She said

  "Meet me at the bar!"

  "Ba...Bar??" She questioned, she seemed unsure already and scared probably

  "Ain't you tired of Ice cream shops and barbie dolls?" I taunted while my friends pressed their urge to laugh

  "Oh my god, Jordan!" She got pissed already. "You know what, I'll see you at the bar. Send the address, sexy!" She hung up.

  "Ohhh!" They exclaimed in unison, it must have wowed them as well. "She's really into you I see!" Lamar added

  "Why not! Lets got the bar, what do you think?! Hmm?!" I opted with a steady smirk on my face while they jumped up to get their leather jackets respectively.
