After the dinner with my family, i walked Chase and Nick or should say my brother down to the car
Thanks for coming over. I appreciated and turned to go when Chase caught me by my arm and pulled me to him
Please let me go. I tried to wriggle out of his hold
he scoffed
What is wrong with you?he asked staring directly into my face
Nothing . I replied trying not to meet his gaze
Then what is with the cold expression? is it because of Nick?
I stared at him without saying anything
Candy! You really need to forgive him
I have already done that . I retorted and he smiled
No you haven’t , I know you too well
I sighed
It is not easy Chase , it is really not easy. he stole my first kiss and also tried to to . I stuttered not knowing if I should tell him or not
he smiled
I understand you Candy but you just have to forgive him
No you don’t , you really don’t understand . I half yelled
Is it about the rape attempt?he asked and i froze
Is that the reason why? he repeated
How dddid you kkknow. I stuttered
Nick told me about it . he informed
And why won’t he do that? I asked in surprise
because he is sorry, he is sorry for everything he did to you …..you see , Nick has changed for the better and deserves a second chance
Oh I see!
Candy listen to me , you really need to forget about everything and give him a chance to be your big brother .
I shifted my gaze to Nick , he was leaning on the car while watching us quietly
I sighed
Go on and talk to him . Chase urged
What! I really can’t do … I tried to say but he cut me off
Please Candy , do it for me .he pleaded
Fine! I agreed and he smiled
Can you please let go of me now? I rolled my eyes
Sure. he released his hold on me
*
I braced up myself and walked towards Nick
hi! we greeted together and he chuckled
there was an awkward silence between us after that
he sighed and suddenly asked
Do you hate me ?
I stared at him without saying anything
Candace! he called softly
Just call me Candy . I corrected and he nodded
Do you hate me Candy? he repeated
No. I shook my head and he sighed in relief
I am sorry for hurting you , I am sorry for been the cause of your tears , i am sorry for being a bad brother …….I know I am asking for you much , but can you please find it in your heart to forgive me? he pleaded
I really want to but it is not that easy . I said as tears rolled down my eyes
I understand you Princess. he assured wiping my tears
Princess! Why did you call me that? I sniffed
because you look like one . he replied and I blushed
Please forgive me Candy . he pleaded in whispers
I will , but I just need time ..
he smiled
You can have all the time you want ,but that won’t stop me from being a good brother to you .
Thanks. I muttered
For? he gave me a surprised look
For not raping me ….. why didn’t you do it?
I couldn’t just do it , i guess our family bond worked for us . he smiled
Sure! I agreed
Can I hug you? he asked for permission and I nodded
he pulled me to him and hugged me tightly
I love you sis . he whispered in my ears and I smiled……..

Smiling , I watched Nick and Candy hug
What a great reunion! I remarked
I glanced at my wristwatch, it was 23:00
It was getting on for Midnight …….
I Walked towards them and cleared my throats
they immediately disengaged from the hug
I don’t mean to disturb the reunion but it Is getting late . I informed
Oh! Candy looked away and I smiled
Can we get going brother? I faced Nick
Sure! he agreed . he flashed Candy a smile before getting into the car
Good night baby. I bade Candy and she frowned
What is wrong? I asked opening the car door
Are you not forgetting something? She asked touching her lips
Oh! You mean a kiss
she nodded
I pulled her close to me and gave her a long kiss
Are you happy now? I asked and she smiled
Go in! I instructed and flashed me a smile before running into her house
I got into the car, started it and drove off heading to the mansion
*

For how long have you known Candy was my sister? Nick asked on our way back home
Not quite long. I replied
How did you know , I mean who told you about it? he continued
I had an intuition about it so I confronted Your mother. I explained
That crazy b***h! he cursed
Stop that Nick , she is still your mother. I cautioned
he scoffed
She might be my mother but that doesn’t change the fact that she is a b***h .
I sighed
You still need to forgive her
Oh! he looked away
What transpired between you and Andy? I probed further
Nothing, I just got tired of him … can’t you see! that man did nothing but completely ruined me, Now I am left all confused
What step do you plan on taking? I continued
I don’t know! all I want is to be free, I want to clear myself from all this mess. Different media houses had been calling for an interview but I just can’t .he signed in frustration
And why can’t you? I continued and he scoffed
Are you really asking me that? They all need an explanation on what happened at the stupid concert, what do you expect me to tell them? he frowned
But you have to clear yourself , if not the whole country will see you as a looser
And how will I do that?
You have to start by going to the media house for an interview
But I don’t ….. he tried to say but I cut him off
Make a call to the media house to inform them of your coming , I will go with you …
Are you for real? he widened his eyes in surprise
Of course, we just have to come up with an excuse
he smiled
Thanks bro
It is nothing…..

It was very late when we got to the mansion
I honk the car horn and the gate was opened up immediately
I drove into the compound and parked in the garage
Alighting from the car , we walked into the building
There was no one in the sitting room so we headed up to the stairs
Good night bro! I bade before entering my room
I was so damn tired
I fell on the bed and soon drifted off to sleep…..

Nick Delgado

I woke up the next morning with mixed feelings. I was happy that I was finally at peace with my family and at the same time nervous about the whole interview idea
What if it doesn’t goes on well? I wondered
I guess there is no harm in trying…..
I got off the bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen up
returning to the room , I went over to wardrobe for change of clothing. I picked up my car keys from the table and headed to Chase room…….
*
He was already dressed when I got to his room
Good morning! I greeted
hey! how was your night? he smiled
It was fine .I replied
So are you set? he asked and he nodded
Good! he remarked and we both headed to the garage, got into my car and I drove off headed to the media house
*
*
We soon got to the media house and I parked in front of the gigantic building
I was surprised to see lot of people waited in front of the media house..
Why are they here? I faced Chase
he smirked
They are obviously here for you
But why?
they are your fans so it is normal for them to care
Fans indeed. I drawled
We alighted from the car to see the reporters running towards us
I really hate this sh*t! Chase remarked
Same with me bro. I drawled
*
Welcome Nick! Welcome Chase! one of them greeted.
We are glad to have you back Nick , but can you please tell us what really happened to you at the concert? Another one asked
Your duet was a hit, can you please tell us more about it? Another asked facing Chase
This is so annoying!
We walked past the reporters and met another crowd, Fans.
Chase ! Nick! they tried to run towards us but were blocked by the securities of the media house
We love you! We love you! they kept on shouting
I smirked
Weren’t they the same ones who booed me?
*
a lady ran to welcome us as soon as we entered the media house
Good morning Nick! Good morning Chase! she greeted smiling
This way please . she led us to the interview room
I pray this goes well. I muttered
*
*
I am glad you honoured my invitation.a man on black greeted smiling at me
hello Chase! I am honoured to have you here as well . he added
I am Mr Don. he introduced himself
Can we please go on with the interview? I asked impatiently
Sure! he agreed
he led us to a glass room and signalled the camera men to start capturing
Welcome once again to Davisa media house , I would love to you ask you both a few questions . he started
You can go on. I replied while Chase just smiled
I will start with you Nick . he informed and I nodded
Your concert was a flop, can you please tell us what really happened? he started
I looked at Chase and he gave me “a go ahead” look
I sighed
I was actually having a respiratory illness, a chronic bronchitis to be precise and it really affected my voice . I lied
Oh!I am so sorry Nick ……. was that also the cause of the sudden fall? he continued
I nodded
so how are you feeling now? he asked with concern
I am better!
So what step do you plan on taking , I mean will you still venture into music?
hell no! I blurted out and he laughed
I plan on going into business. I added
Oh! Yours fans are really gonna miss you , you left a huge impact in the music industry. he praised
I smiled
So Chase! he called facing Chase
Your song was a hit ,same with your duet . Can you please tell us the secret to your success?
he laughed
I have no secrets, I just believe in determination and hard work
Oh So impressive !
If that is the case , can you please tell us who Candace Noah is to you? …I mean the reason why you chose her over the famous Kira
he paused for a while before replying
Let me just say I was mesmerised with an angelic voice . he smiled
So are you trying to say that the relationship between both of you is Just official? the man probed further
Chase scoffed
I believe this is a way out of the line
Oh I am sorry. he apologised
It is alright
If that is the case , i will be honoured to have her over for an interview, if that will be okay by her
Of course it will . Chase drawled
Thank you so much for coming. the man smiled
*

Walking out of the media house, the crowd kept on chanting and cheering
We love you Nick! We love you Chase!Keep on fighting Nick! You are a legend!
I looked at Chase and met his gaze
Thanks brother for everything. I appreciated
It is nothing. he smiled
I waved at my fans while smiling
The challenges I went through made me understood the real definition of happiness … I mean I always thought happiness was all about being rich but now I know better ….
Happiness is all about contentment, it is all about love and most importantly you have to share it to enjoy it ……..
