"Hey morning Siz?" Roy asks immediately I join him on the dining table
"Morning too,an early bird i guess?"
"Yes of course,you had a great night i guess?" Hr asks as he pours got coffee for me
"Can't say it was great but thank God I'm up and okay"
"Yeah me too so you got any plans today?"
"Nope and by the way before i forget i talked to Ken just a few minutes ago"
"Ooh I guessed from your mood"he says and i give him a questioning glance
"And what do you mean by that if I may ask?"
"You were extra happy compared to how you went to bed yesterday, gloomy and moody" he says winking at me,i can't help but laugh at his dry joke
"Ooh come on Roy, can't someone just be happy for heaven's sake,must you just conclude your own things?"
"Well at least my conclusion and judgment is try based on the fact that the evidence is clear and i can smell it from here"
"Huh you're so difficult to deal with,i ain't in the mood to argue with you I'd rather take my breakfast and be in my room as i wait up for Ken" i say I'm surrender and that only earns another laugh from him. He's really pissing me off with the direction he's taking and i don't think I'm going to cope up with him for any further time.
"Mh so your Mr lover is he coming today huh?"
" He's Ken not me lover and yes he's coming for the the burial ,Ms Alice was like a mother to him,they have known each other for a while now and he can't miss her burial for Christ's sake stop concluding your own things"
"My bad sorry Siz but i know when someone is in love or when he or she is falling for someone"
"Mh so since when did you become doctor love,the Roy i know was the naive type of a guy who didn't even notice girls on his side, sometimes i thought maybe you were gay,remind me again small brother who organised Regina for you I'm so sure you did t approach her on your own" i say while smiling ah him and he shifts on his seat uncomfortably.
"Huh see? I got you so Roy do you love her?"
"Love who?"
"Regina ,who else I'm i talking about?"
"Of course i do, why would you ask me such kind of a question?"
"Because I wanna know how my shy brother ended up with a beautiful lady like her"
"So you want to say i don't have a taste?"
"Nope not that way, i just said you were the shy type and now you have a fiancee"
"Well its because people grow, I'm grown man now Lisa and you shouldn't even question that" he says and i give him a small smile.
"Haha okay Mr grown man" i say in surrender and stand to take the cup in the kitchen.
Since Mariana left i still haven't found any one to help me in the kitchen, she insisted she wants to go back to her home since she felt insecure at my place, i understand the trauma and the memories of what happened to her was in this house so it sis understandable if she decides to leave, i made sure I gave her payment for this month even though it was still midway, did some shopping for her and rented a house for her, she said she would be visiting if she got time and i had no problem with that, so we kind of made ana arrangement in that Roy cooks at one time and i cook later it's doing great but i need to look for someone to replace the two, i can't even clean the whole damn house.
"By the way can you make arrangements for getting another nanny, you can contact that organisation for me"
"Ooh that's okay, i guess they'll be here tonight so you can interview them" Roy says and i agree with him, he leaves to make the call and I proceed to the kitchen to wash the dishes and to prepare lunch.

"You've really changed since we last met" Ken says and i only smile as I disentangle myself from the hug
"So do you, what have you been eating anyway?"
"The normal Kenyan food, plus the gym is doing wonders it's good to keep fit" he says and i nod in agreement. Roy clears his throat and i almost face palm myself, i almost forgot he was with me
Ken called me about twenty minutes ago and told me he had already arrived and was waiting for me at the airport so I tagged Roy along of course I didn't want to drive alone but felt like it would be better if he accompanied me and here we are at the waiting room with Ken.
"Ooh my bad, i forgot Roy was around"
"I understand Siz" he says and winks at me naughtily which i brush it off and focus on the two as they give each other the manly hug.
"Good to see you man" Ken says as he parts Roy's shoulder
"Good to see you too man, how's everything going with you guys"
"Pretty fine, we can't complain right Lisa?"
"Yeah we good, We should get going before we get stuck up in the jam"
"Ooh yeah sure, I'm the one driving" Roy says and i can't agree less
"Great, i was feeling tired, thank you" i say in relief
I take the back seat and Ken joins me in the back seat, Roy takes the driver's seat but he keeps in stealing glances at me and it's making me uncomfortable
"Roy you know it would have been better if you just concentrated on the road, your sceptical glances are starting to get to my peak" i say to him and he just laughs lightly
"Haha okay your Majesty but i was just looking at the two of you and thought how much you'd make a perfect couple and I'll be the best brother in law to Ken my buddy there" he says and Ken laughs out loud
"You still this funny, and why on earth would you have such thoughts?" Ken asks Roy
"Mmh don't even go there, even an i***t can see the way you two are looking at each other, you already f*****g each other with your eyes, the tension between you two is intense"
"Jesus Christ Roy can you just shut the f**k up" i half shout at him, I'm quite embarrassed and i don't think I can face Ken right now, the thought of what Roy has just said makes me blush pink
"You see you blushing, just get over it already and admit y'all lusting for each other, I'm i wrong?"
"Enough Roy, just drive us home already" i say with straight face.
"Okay okay, i surrender, but seriously man,i wouldn't mind if you dated my sister, i prefer you more than a million time to that psychopath fake husband of hers, he's a don't care and i never liked him anyway, you have my permission and blessings" Roy says
The rest of the drive is in silence, everyone lost in their own thoughts. What Roy said keeps on ringing in my head.
Truth be told I kinda like this guy but what I'm not sure is if what I feel for him is love or just mere crush or lust.
