I had to fly back to Cape Town, I haven't been here for months and I wanted to keep it that way until I received a call, enough to bring me back to earth. I hate it here, it has nothing to do with the salty breeze or the unpredictable weather. Its just me, I grew up here, lost everything and also my sanity here. I find Abbie waiting for me, I don't know why she bothered, I asked for a car not entertainment. She runs to me and jumps onto me, making a scene.
"I missed you" she says kissing me
She lets me go then take my hand into hers.
"Your father will be pleased to see you, he even decided to make a feast" she says as we walk to the car
"If I knew he would, I wouldn't have come back" I say opening the door for her, she gets in then I walk to the driver's seat.
"I think its about time you sit down and have a conversation with him, after all he has something to tell you" Abbie says
"Are you friends with my father now?" I ask
She laughs placing her hand on my thigh, brushing it teasingly.
"Don't worry, no man can make me feel like you do. Not even your father..." she smiles at me
I have other things in mind, not sex. Not that I wouldn't expect such stunts from my father, he is capable, impossible and unstable. And I also know Abbie, she is...
"Why are you looking at me like that?" She asks
"Did you fuck my father?" I ask
"No, I didn't but I told you I can so don't underestimate me babe." She says
"I don't care what you think you can do Abbie, I just don't want to eat my father's leftovers" I say
She doesn't say anything but play music and starts singing along.
I find my father standing outside the house, I walk out then Abbie follows me to where he is standing. He is trying to read my face especially considering the fact that we had a fall out when I left.
"Dad" I say
"Son, I'm glad you came back..." he says
"I didn't come back" I protest
"Excuse us" he says to Abby, then she walks inside.
"So she is living here now?" I ask
"No, She only came today in the morning to take the car." He answers
"How did she even know that I was coming back?" I ask
He is just looking at me with a straight face.
"I told her father..." He says
"okay" I say
"Son, I cant have you acting rouge when you know exactly who you are. This is our family business and you don't just wake up one day and walk out" he says
"What am I doing here?" I ask already annoyed
"I am having a feast today, I have an announcement to make but I thought I should tip you off first before the dinner. Cage had a business proposal for us, and he asked for you to come back..." he explains
"What kind of proposal?" I ask
Cage is as canning as my father, so I don't trust him and his dealings.
"Don't freak out" my dad warns
"You even considering his dealings freaks me out, so what is it?" I ask again
"A marriage proposal" he says
"And who's marrying who?" I ask
I don't want to even think about the answer.
