Marriage and Annulment

“So are you going home now?” I asked him.

“Not yet, but maybe I’ll go home later. I don’t have anything else to do here.” Calvin replied.

“Why don’t you come with us, we’re going somewhere,” I suggested.

“Is that okay? Isn’t it too embarrassing?”

“No, do you know how to drive?” I asked him.

“Yeah, I got my driver’s license when I was nineteen, but I don’t have a vehicle to use,” he explained.

I was too curious to find out what their life had been like with their mother. I’m still waiting for a response from Arthur. I only told Arthur to look into their lives a day ago.

I can’t say they’re in pain based on how they dress. I’ll be able to learn the truth about their situation.

Calvin and I go to the mall. While I don’t see any of the girls. Maybe they were all in the car.

“This is my car, Calvin,” I informed him.

He slid open the driver’s door. And then I went through the other door. When I turned around, they were all stunned and staring at Calvin.

“Who is he, Miss?” inquired Laica.

“Hello, girls, my name is Calvin, and I’m Zaneska’s brother,” Calvin introduces himself.

They all said, “Nice to meet you.”

Did I think he was the shy type? Why are you droning on?

“Are they the ones you have at home?” Clavin asked.

“Yes why?”

“Nothing, how many are they all?”

“There are nine of them in the house with me, and we’ve been together in the mansion for four years,” I replied.

“You won’t be sad there because they’re there,” he said, while the girls just stared in the mirror in front of us. But I know they’re paying attention.

“At the hotel, remember the man with me in the office; he’s my assistant; his birthday is tomorrow, so I’ll surprise him at twelve o’clock in the evening,” I replied.

“I see, you’re a good boss,” Calvin said.

“Of course, which hotel do you want to go?”

“In luxury hotels,” I replied.

“All right.”

We were in front of the luxury hotel in less than two minutes. I went out first, and the girls followed.

“Aren’t you going inside the hotel?” I’ll ask him.

“I’ll just wait here, sister,” Calvin replied, “and you can go inside.”

We all went inside at the same time after I nodded.

“Miss, if you’re that handsome to be my driver, I’d rather go out every day,” Lazzy said.

I just laughed.

“I’m sorry, but he doesn’t want a woman,” I explained.

They appear perplexed by what I am saying.

“What does he want a man?” Lucianna ask.

“He also like a woman but he still doesn’t really feel like having a girlfriend. Or, more accurately, he is not yet ready.”

They appeared to be breathing heavily, which I noticed.

“Why can’t you accept that he might be gay just in case?” I inquire.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“Miss, he’s handsome, then he became gay, and I’m sure many women would be crying,” Glaiza said.

I’m just laughing.

I approached the front desk.

“Hello, ma’am, what can I help you with?” the woman asked me.

“Let’s make a reservation or cater for my friend’s surprise birthday; are you open until twelve o’clock in the evening?” I’ll ask.

“Yes, Ma’am, we’re open twenty-four hours a day; where do you want to be on the rooftop? How many people do you have?” the woman asked.

“One hundred or more, just add it, maybe he has a lot of visitors, and then we’re just on the roof,” I replied.

“That’s fine, ma’am.”

“Please compute everything and call me when you’re done; we’ll eat first,” I said.

“Of course, ma’am,” she say.

“Find our table, girls; I’m just going outside to Calvin,” I instructed.

I got out of the car and walked to my parked car. I didn’t see Calvin inside when I opened it, but I did see him standing outside a boutique. He was looking for a long-sleeved shirt. Maybe he liked it. I approached him.

“Calvin, what are you doing here?” I asked him.

“Nothing, I just look while waiting for you.” he replied.

But I notice he wants to purchase the long-sleeved shirt that the mannequin is wearing.

“Come inside; we’ll eat first,” I said.

“I’m still full, sister,” he explained.

“It’s twelve o’clock in the afternoon, and I’m hungry as well,” I explained.

As a result, he had no choice but to go inside. When he was gone, I went inside the boutique and looked at the blue long sleeve Calvin had been staring at from the outside.

“Miss, I’ll buy this and one denim pants and a pair of shoes,” I told the saleswoman.

“What size, ma’am?” she asked me.

“Can I had a ballpen and paper? I’ll write the size,” I explained.

She gave me a scrap of paper and a ballpoint pen. Calvin’s waist and foot measurements were taken. I did the calculations. I hope it’s appropriate for him.

I chose children’s clothing. I’ll also buy Clavin’s brother whole and shoes so they can attend Randolf’s birthday party. I went with a pink one with a lot of flowers and a half shoe. I proceeded to pay at the counter. Then I walked out of the boutique with everything I had purchased. I threw it in my car and drove straight to the hotel. The woman at the front desk smiled and waved at me.

“How was it?” I ask the woman.

“Everything is settled, ma’am; here’s the bill,” he said as he handed me the bill.

I accepted the offer and paid.

I went to our table in the restaurant. It’s a good thing that all of our orders are ready. Because I’m starving.

“Have you eaten yet, Calvin?” I asked. “Did you like the foods, or do you want to add something else?”

“I’m fine, sister; I’ll eat anything,” he explained.

I nodded and began to eat as well. Even the girls remained silent. It was only hunger that brought them all to their knees.

We were finished eating in half an hour. After I paid, we went out together.

“Miss, we’re all just going somewhere; is it okay if you wait here?” they ask me.

“Of course,” I replied.

“Sister, I’m going home; maybe my mom is looking for me; I still don’t have a phone to call you,” he told me.

“Just a second,” I said.

I took four paper grocery bags and gave them to him.

“What is this?” he inquired.

“That’s for you and your sister. Go to the party later, take her. That’s what you’re going to wear,” I said, smiling.

“I can’t accept this, sister,” Calvin said.

“Accept that, it’s not a bribe to treat me well; I just want to give you that so the three of us can be close,” I explained.

“Thank you; we’ll try to go, but our house is far from here in the city, and mother might not let us,” he says.

“Just tell your mother that I invite you,” I advised.

Calvin had already moved away from where I stood. While transporting the paper bags. I knew they couldn’t come later because their mother wouldn’t let them. I got in first, and then they all did.

“What did you go for?” I ask.

“We intend to re-bond our hair, Miss,” Lucy said.

“For a change? That’s great. Let’s go,” I said.

“You’re going to treat us again, Miss?” Lucianna ask.

“Sure,” I replied.

As a result, I started the car.

“Where is it?” I’ll ask.

“Near the Watsons,” Lazzy responded.

“It’s right around the corner,” I explained.

We all walked out and into the salon at the same time.

“Is it okay here? Is it possible our hair will break?” I asked.

“Let’s give it a shot, Miss,” Hannah suggested.

“You go first,” I instructed.

We also began to eat. Our food had all landed in the piece of cloth that had been placed in the sand.

“You come to see me a lot, Mitch, when we’re not too busy,” mother said.

“All right, Aunt, what are you up to now?” Mitch inquired of his mother.

Mom responded, “I’m your Uncle Augusto’s secretary.” Mitch gave a nod.

“I’m taking her into the office with me, Mitch, because someone else might take her away from me again, so it’s best to keep an eye on her at all times,” Uncle said.

Except for Mom, we were all laughing. Her brow furrowed.

“Stop embarrassing them, Augusto,” his mother reprimanded.

“I’m sure it’s fine, Marla; you’re even more beautiful now,” Uncle said.

“Shut your mouth!” mother exclaimed.

I stood up and took Mitch’s hand in mine.

“First, mom, Mitch and I are going for a walk,” I explained.

“Yes.”

Mitch and I have already begun our walk along the beach.

“Are you full? I used to believe you didn’t eat.”

“I ate a lot in the apartment, and I’ll eat more later when I’m hungry. This place is beautiful, and it’s very quiet,” Mitch explained.

“Yeah, far away from the crowd, it’s calm, and the air is fresh,” I replied.

“Yes, your mother is intelligent; I’m sorry, but I kept thinking negatively of her; I thought she wanted to see me or get to know me in order to say something bad,” Mitch explained.

I burst out laughing.

“No one, not even my father, is like that; they’re kind.”

“And Uncle Augusto was familiar to me; I’m not sure where I saw him,” Mitch explained.

“He’s a well-known businessman in town, so it’s impossible that no one knows who he is,” I reasoned.

“Yes, it’s as if I saw him in the news section of the magazine, but he’s also kind. His face is happy, and your sister is lovely. I immediately remembered my brothers and nephews in the province,” Mitch said.

“How long have you been gone home?” I’ll ask.

“It’s been a year, but I always send money there because I’d rather live here in the city than in the province because of the noise of my siblings. They always fight because their husband don’t have a decent job,” Mitch explained.

“It’s really like that, that’s normal for a couple.” I said.

“My sisters are very brave. But they don’t think they are to blame for why they are having a hard time in life because they chose to get married early than to study and have a good life.” said Mitch.

“It’s their choice, because you know they think more about how they feel.” I said.

“Then they will regret it when they have had many children and they are having a hard time in life. So when they have money problems they don’t go straight to ask me because I will really scold them all. It is not so easy to find money here in the city.” ‘He said. Mitch.

“It’s really like that when one of them has a work together. Help when you have money, maybe they won’t insist if you don’t.” I explained.

Mitch gave a nod.

“Can you tell me what time it is?” Mitch inquired.

“It’s five o’clock in the afternoon.”

“Can you take me to the coffee shop today? I’m on duty from six o’clock until morning; are you all right?” he asked.

“Sure, no problem, let’s go,” I replied.

So we walked back to Uncle and mother.

“Mom, I’m going to take Mitch home because she has duty later; will you sleep here, Uncle?” I’ll ask.

“Yes,” Uncle said.

“Come back here or at least at home, Mitch, I’ll cook you some delicious food,” mother said.

“Yes, Aunt,” Mitch said, kissing my mother on the cheek.

“We’re leaving; Melissa, we’ll play when I come back,” Mitch said.

“All right, Sister Mitch, I’ll wait for you.” Melissa said.

As the two of us walked out the gate, Mitch waved to them.

“I hope you eat again so you can get to work right away; where can I take you to the coffee shop right away?” I asked.

“Yes, I have a uniform there, and don’t worry, I can eat there because they provide dinner,” Mitch explained.

I drove away from the beach house.

We haven’t left the salon yet.
