Chapter 27

"This conversation is now over Aurora". "But". "No buts, you are not allowed to raise this topic again and I am passing a command to you as your elder brother and you would listen to me, okay, this is the end this conversation, let's go". "One last question and I want you to be as honest with me as you can be, don't hide anything, can you promise that?" "Sure, ask, if that would make you drop this topic I will". "well is everything okay? We heard the gunshots and although my instincts tell me that those men from earlier are not bad people, but what I really care about is if everything is alright. I don't care if they are bad people or good people. "Well I know you are really bothered about your friend and really care about them, your brother has taken care of everything, you can be rest assured". "Okay boss". " Let's head to the car then, and we're not going to repeat this topic ever, act like it never happened". "You're not going to tell second brother". "Why?" "Well you know he might act all big and carefree but when you tell him he's going to be very worried, so why bother". " OK then let's go baby". "Yes boss". "What took you guys so long we've been waiting for ages I thought you got lost". Arianna said running to hug Aurora immediately she came in sight. "Well if anybody was going to get lost that should be you, you have no sense of direction you couldn't even tell what route we came here from". Paul said throwing shades at Arianna. "Well, that's cause I wasn't watching, my mind wasn't on the route". Arianna countered. " And tell me why you should walk past somewhere and your mind isn't on the route". Paul asked looking at Arianna like what better cover up would she come up with. " Whatever stop being so annoying". "Can we just go home now, I think it has been a long day and longer than just an outing to the park". Aurora said and dragged her body to the back seat of the jeep she needed to relax. "Yea yea". Arianna manged to say before joining aurora in the back seat. "What a day, I'll ride shotgun with you bro". Paul said and goes over to the front seat wanting to give the girls some space to stretch. " Fine Paul, we're going home now but I should assume that you guys are famished by this time, so do you want us to stop by the restaurant and buy something to eat or go straight home". Brandon says and climbs into the jeep ready to drive off. "That is the best thing I've heard anybody say in an hour plus, can we stop by somewhere and find good food". " I just want chicken and some cheese". Paul says dreamily. "I want bread". "Bread? The actual fuck?" " I want chicken with a lot of cheese by the side and a lot of chips and some ice cream to melt away all this heat". "well let me tell you guys something sweet, you can buy anything you want today all bills on me". Brandon declares to the excitement of the occupants of the car. "Yay". "Big bro, call mom to tell her not to prepare dinner for us since we will be eating out tonight and if dad wouldn't be coming back today we can just grab take out for her on our way back, so she doesn't have to cook today". "Okay I will when we know where we're headed". " So where are we heading to?" "You guys choose, wherever you want is fine by me preferably somewhere close by or on our way home". "Where can we get a lot of chicken, a lot of chips and a lot of cheese at the same". Aurora said pretending to be thinking about it. "That spells chicken world, they serve the best chicken all the time they've also got the best chips and the best cheese in town and their bread is definitely worth it". "I'm the one eating the bread so i get to decide where the best bread is served and it's definitely not Chicken World so give me a break". Arianna said. "Your bread is an unpopular opinion,the majority wants chicken so definitely we go to where the best chicken is served unless of course you wouldn't mind eating separately". "What's the point of eating with you if I have to eat the trash, Chicken World doesn't serve good bread as a matter of fact their bread is beyond mediocrity, why should I make the sacrifice". "All right no arguements, that we can always buy bread as take home, Ariana where would you love to get your bread". "Cakes and slices". "You're buying bread not cakes". "Well, if you haven't tasted their bread then you're missing out on a whole lot". "I have to say she's right, I ate their bread the last time it's quite good trust me, can I also buy bread as take home big bro". "Your humility when begging is astonishing, but your switch up is even more astonishing just take a check at they expression change". Paul said acting like he felt goosebumps, Aurora had indeed changed her expression from fawning at Brandon to staring daggers at Paul. "If you kept your mouth shut, I wouldn't change have to change expression, and if looks could kill you would be six feet deep". "Thanks for the information". "Can you guys not argue for a second, I thought y'all were too tired to even walk, you definitely have the strength for arguements". "Well if we just sat here and sealed our mouths wouldn't it be like a graveyard in here or a wake keep ceremony". Aurora retorted. "Why do they call it a wake keep though the dead never rise, they are as dead as their first death". Paul asks with a ridiculous expression. "Whoever named it was just trying to be humourous apparently". Aurora said and shrugged. "Some dark humor that is I got to say". THE VEIL ON THE DARK
