SOFT MOANS novel Chapter 19

"Where are the both of you coming from." Alexia and Aaron stood rooted to the ground on hearing their mum's voice.

"Uhm, hi mum. You are awake." Alexia said causally.

"She's not the only one that's awake, I'm also awake and also I don't think that's an answer to your mum question." Mr Greg said, hands in his pocket.

"We decided to go to the park, the water park after school. We weren't really keeping to time and that's why we are late." Aaron explained smoothly.

"Did you just said school. I called your school, and they swore that you never came to school. Aaron, Alexia, why did the both of you skip school, do not tell me you skipped school all because of a water park." Mrs Greg asked shocked.

"I'm sorry mum, I knew I shouldn't have forced Alexia to come along with me but I didn't want to see the water park alone, neither could I wait for weekend." Aaron said, Alexia looked at him in shock. Her brother is really good at not saying the truth, although he was kind of right, he did made her go to the water park.

"Aaron, you have to start taking your studies really seriously. Who is going to take over my business, if you can't finish school." Mr Greg chided.

"Dad, my grades are always good, so why are you saying that, I only skipped school once. It's not like I do this all the time." Aaron defends his self frowning.

"Don't talk to your father in that tone, Aaron. If you skipped school once, there's 70 percent chance that you can continue skipping school everyday." Mrs Greg yelled, disappointed.

"Fine, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for skipping school and also making Alexia skip school with me. I promise this would never repeat itself again. I've apologise, now can we go?." Aaron asked, his tone laced with sarcasm.

"Ugh, I can't believe this. Do you know what, the both of you just go, go to your room. I don't have the strength for this." Mrs Greg says sighing. Alexia and Aaron walked past their parents, without saying another word.

"Ugh, why do I feel there's something going on between those two but I can't just place my fingers on it, I can't really seem to see what's going on." Mrs Greg said sighing. Mr Greg walks over to his wife, wraps his hand around her and then placed her head on his chest. "You are just overthinking things babe, there is absolutely no need to be worried." Her husband pacified her.

Mrs Greg removes her husband's arms from her waist, and then walks over to sit on the couch in the room, "i don't know, Steve. I feel there's something more, there's something that we are missing, there's something going on between those two and it's all happening under our noses. I don't just know what it is." She insists.

"And I'm telling you that, you are overthinking things, babe." Her husband also insists, he walked over to the couch where his wife is currently sitting on and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I know what I'm saying. I know what I'm feeling, there's something going on, something big that we don't know anything about. Those two are definitely hiding something." Mrs Greg insisted the more, her facial appearance hardened.

"Do you know what honey, why don't we retire to the room, huh?." He suggested.

"Hmm, I know you think I'm overthinking things, but anyway let's leave it at that. We should retire to the room, beside I'm already feeling sleepy." Mrs Greg agrees, standing up from the couch, and together the both of them goes to the master room and retired for the night.

Alexia laid on her bed and waited for Aaron, but Aaron never came. She turned on her bed severally, wishing Aaron would come but he still didn't come.

"Why the heck isn't he coming." Alexia asked out loud, she gets up from the bed and walks around her room anxiously, biting her finger nails.

*Maybe I should send him a text message.* She thinks. She takes her phone then typed a message and send to him, *Won't you come to my bedroom tonight.* That was the content of the message she sent.
