Chapter 3 MISHAP. (Confused love). Chapter 3.

O'neil family house.

Mrs. Rose O'neil came down from the stairs into their large size sitting room which had the appearance of a palace. Maids are moving here and there performing their duties.

She sat down on what looked a throne. She picked up the telephone which was placed on a medium sized stool, she dialed and after 2 beeps someone answered from the other end.

"Hello Mrs. O'neil "

"Hello Anne sweetheart, how was your trip?" Mrs. O'neil asked excitedly.

"My trip was fine mom".

"So did you meet him"?.

Mrs. O'neil asked again.

"Yes i did mom, he's grown so much".

The voice from the other end responded shyly.

"I need you to plan fast, his trip is going to take long so i need you to come up with something".

Mrs O'neil urged her.

"Trust me mom, i need to hang up now". The voice said again and dropped the call.

Mrs. Rose dropped the telephone back on the stool smilling wickedly.

April came down from the stairs advancing towards the dining table where breakfast had already been served.

She met her twins in a new pair of clothes .

"Mommy you look beautiful".

Jamie complimented with a mouth full of food.

"Thank you honey. Sweethearts i have something to tell the both of you"

"Okay, go ahead mummy". They said at the same time".

"Game over". They said with hand in the air and laughing, even April laughed at them.

"So, listen up kids, about the note your daddy left for me, he wants us to go stay over at his mother's place becauss........."

The kids didn't even let her finish before they started their protest.

"We are not going anywhere mom, we'd rather sleep on the streets than to live with that woman, she hates us, she also hates you mommy".

Jamie protested, earning her brother, James's support.

"Kids thats enough, it's what your daddy wants and besides he says it'll help all of us bond togethere."

Seeing that the kids still have their angry and frowning faces on with folded arms, she thought of something to brighten up their mood.

"Okay kids, i have an idea. I'll take the both of you to the park to have some fun then later we can talk about Grandma.

"Okay mom agreed".

In London.

Micheal arrived in front of a flat house and pressed the door bell twice. The door opened to reveal a tall shirtless black man with muscles here and there in the right propotion.

"Heyyy Micheal O'neil"

"Hello Tyler".

They both engaged in a hug.

"Long time no see Micheal, how have you been?".

"I'm good. You look big, you haven't stopped working out have you?"

"Been working out since our college days you don't expect me to stop now do you?" Tyler replied in a sacarstic tone.

"Of course i remember, when that girl you were crushing on told you she couldn't date you because you look like swollen dough" Micheal replied back in a sarcastic tone and they both burst into heavy laughter.

"Well, are you going to invite me in or what?"

Michael asked with his arms spread out.

"Your choice, if you wanna come in, my door is wide open but if you wanna stay out, you can keep your thing out".

Having concluded his speech he jogged back into the house.

"You haven't changed one bit, same old Tyler".

Micheal said as he followed Tyler in.

April arrived the Georgia park in their posh car with the kids seated behind. Immediately April's car parked the kids jumped out finding their way through soo many people into the park.

"Be careful kids you don't wanna go missing".

April shouted.

The kids stopped for a moment and looked at their themselves and to their mother before replying.

"okay mommy".

April decided to visit the boutique just opposite the park to see if any of its dresses would interest her. As she approached the boutique, she saw a very familiar car in the car park. She stood for about twenty minutes staring at the car but waved it off since she couldn't place where she had seen the car before.

She walked into the boutique and waved at the sales girl. As she was checking through the clothes from one category to another, she bumped into someone.

"Are you blind?, can't you see properly?, i know you purposely bumped into me, can't you apologise?

The lady whom April bumped into started ranting and screaming but April kept her cool.

"This lady looks familiar, isn't this Marie". April thought within herself.

By then everybody: both buyers and sellers had already garthered round them to find out the cause of the lady's rant.

"Marie Scott"?.

April called and the lady stopped on her words.

"Yes, do i know you"? She asked confused.

"Well you should have asked that question before you started to rant and shout, you're still the same Marie".

April answered with a scoff.

After looking a closer look at April, the lady (Marie) widen her eyes and jumped on April engulfing her in a tight hug.

"April Cabello now April O'neil, i miss you baby girl".

Marie was obviously covered with excitment. But when she looked around and noticed that everyone still stood in their position her excitement changed into anger.

"Can you all go back to your duty post and stop staring like lost animals".

She hissed at them.

They both watched the crowd disperse little by little until they were all gone.

"April, my college bestie".

"The bestie you abandoned here in Georgia"?.

April said with a scoff.

"You know what we have a lot to talk about, let's go under the tree outside". Marie replied dragging her outside.

When they got under the tree they both sat down on the bench.

"So, April how has life been?, how's your marriage?".

"Well, Marie Scott everything is fine with me. My marriage...is one of the most beautiful things I possess. And oh.. you forgot to ask about my kids".

"Whatt!!!, you now have kids??, not even one but two".

Marie questioned a bit shaken and surprised.

"Yes, they are twins though, a boy and a girl".

April replied playing with the expensive diamond ring on her finger.

"That's really cool, Micheal is a real sharp shooter".

Marie said and they both burst into heavy laughter.

"Remember our college day?, we were soo close then, we used to share so many secrets, we were sisters, i wish we can be like that again".

Marie said again looking up to the sky like she was remembering something.

April held her hands "Of course we can, i want us to have memories that we used to have back then, do things that we used to do and be sisters again".

In London.

After Micheal had taken a tour around Tyler's flat which had 2 comfortable bedrooms with bathrooms in each of them, a spacious kitchen, sitting room and gym room.

He settled in his own room which Tyler had given to him. After a refreshing bath he came out to see Tyler preparing foodfor the both of them. He walked over to the refrigerator and took a drink,walked back to the sitting room.

After a few moments, Tyler came out and served Michael.

"So, Michael you haven't told me the reason you decided to come stay with me".

Tyler spoke first.

"It's just for a week, don't be an asshole okay and besides what belongs to you belongs to me too."

Micheal said rolling his eyes.

Tyler held his tummy and gave out a loud laugh as he couldn't contain it anymore.

"Tell me why you have to roll your eyes?. Anyeays how's April and the kids?".

Tyler asked Micheal.

Micheal looked at Tyler, surprised.

"What?, Tyler asked wondering why Michael was giving him that look.

"I made you my best man on my wedding day, so you probably know April more than i do so call her and ask yourself".

Micheal said half angrily and concentrated on the food before him.

"Oh, sorry bro i didn't know that asking about your wife would make you mad. Hope you don't mind me asking, is everything okay between you and April"?

Micheal hesitated before answering him. "You see Tyler, ever since i got this job April has been on my throat always complaining about how i don't spend time with her and the kids".

Micheal complained.

"But Micheal, i personally see no reason why you should get a job talk more work. Your old man O'neil made real cash for you and your entire generations before he died. So why are you working"?.

Tyler asked him confused.

"Well as the man of the house now i have to make sure that money dosen't finish that's why i have to work hard to sustain it".

"And put your Marriage at risk?, Micheal i might not be married yet but i definitely know the in and out of every marriage issues because i have a cousin who is a marriage counselor and therapist; i have been to many of his classes. You have to pay more attention to your family. April needs more of your love, she needs that reassurance ever seconds that you'll always be there for her. Level up bro....before a tornado hits your family" Tyler concluded and face the television leaving Micheal to ponnder over what he just said.

After the conversation April and Marie had, they promised to see each other more often and also communicate on phone. April went over to the park to pick her kids so they could head home. As April entered the pack she saw the man who helped her the previous night and walked over to him.

"Hello Mr. Benjamin how are you doing?".

Benjamin turned to her direction, immediaty he saw her a wide smile spread across his face.

"Hello Miss...?".

"April, my name is April". She answered his question.

"Okay, hello Miss April. With the smile on your face i bet you feel much better than the other day".

He said in a question like manner.

"Yes i do, i really do. I just want to say thank you for everything you did for me the other night. I'm not as rude as you think just that ii......".

"No need for all that Miss April,you can thank me by giving me a call sometime". He cut her off.

"Of course i can do that, it's Mrs. not Miss, i'm a married woman. Again thank you for your help".

She turned around and walked away not waiting to see his reaction.
