Charlotte's colleague calls Mrs. Taylor.
''Hello''
''Hi''
''How are you?''
''Am fine, and you''
''Great, I hope your friend went on the date even though it wasn't decided promptly'' Mrs. Taylor asked.
''Yeah, she made it, but she doesn't seem interested in him''
''Why. Did he say something offensive to her''
''Well, he called her names and mocked her''
''What, why would he do that''
''Probably for her to leave'' she said.
(This boy is too stubborn) Mrs. Taylor whispers to herself.
''Pardon, I didn't hear clearly''
''Oh, I will get back to you shortly''
''Okay, sure''
''Catch you later''
''Bye''
LEON'S HOUSE
He opened the door and to his disbelief he saw Leon's mother standing Infront of him.
"Good evening, Madam"
"Evening" she responded with her face frowned.
She steps in as Donald shuts the door.
Leon hears the voice of him mum and runs to hide in the library
''Where is Leon'' she asks him as she scouts through the room.
''Ummm….''
''I need to see him now. I want to ask about his blind date'' she said.
''Okay''
As he was going, she calls him back.
''Did Leon tell you anything about his date'' She asks
''No, not exactly''
''Oh, I see. I just wanted to know if he showed any unwelcoming behavior''
''Okay''
''You can go''
She takes a seat on the sofa waiting.
To his surprise Leon wasn't in the sitting on the couch, so he swiftly enters the other rooms to look for him.
He finally finds him hiding under the office table in his library. He calls out his name from a distance.
''Leon, Leon, your mum is here to see you''
Leon runs quickly towards him and covers his mouth pulling him under the table.
''Can't you keep mute'' he said.
''I will, just get your hands off my mouth''
He frees him and Donald asks
''What are you doing here''
''I'm hiding''
''From your mum? She's siting down on the couch waiting for you. Why are you hiding?''
''when I saw the look of her face when she entered the room. Oh my gosh it was like a blazing fire that's been lit on for months and cannot be tamed''
''What!'' Leon exclaimed
''Any explanation I give her will just turn to chaos''
''But she's waiting for you. So, what do I tell her?
''Tell her I'm asleep''
''Come on, she won't buy that''
''Yeah, my mum is smart'' he says.
''Okay, I've got a better idea''
''Spill it''
''Tell her am badly hurt so I can't meet her''
''Seriously, that's even worse than the first one. She will rush in here concerned to check on you. And if she finds out you're not hurt, it will be disastrous''
''Yeah, you are making a good point''
His mum suddenly opened the door. Which got them stunned.
''How did she know we are here'' Donald whispers to Leon
''I don't know how, I guess I must face her now'' he replies murmuring.
''I taught I asked you to call Leon for me''
''Yes madam''
''So, what are you doing?''
''I was…''
Leon cuts in the conversation and speaks
''Why don't you go home. It's getting late''
''Sure, I will'' he said and left.
''Mum, why don't we talk in the living room''
Donald leaves the scene, on his way out, he removes his phone from his pocket to browse through the internet and notices her missed call.
He quickly called back but there was no respond so h tris for the second time and she answers.
Charlotte partially wakes up from her sleep and answers the call.
''hello, who is this'' she said
''Hi, it's the guy you met at the restaurant a few hours ago''
''I don't remember meeting anyone''
He checks the number to verify
''Are you sure''
''Yes, maybe you called the wrong number''
''I don't think so, maybe you don't remember.''
''Okay, why don't we talk tomorrow''
''Sure''
''Bye''
She hangs up the call and continues her beauty sleep.
(She sounds like some who was sleeping) He whispered to himself.
