《BOOT STRAPS》Moving In

Anger filled my body as I held the note in my hands. I squeezed it and threw it out of the window with so much anger.

"What did the note say ?"Drake asked me as he dropped his burger into the plastic bag.

"He says we are continuing this game in Atlanta. Can you imagine the nerve of that guy....."I pressed my palms into my eyes as I paused.

"He thinks this is all a game, harassing me, sending me threats and now he's sending hoodlums to me ,who the hell is this guy ?!"I ranted with my hands swishing each way in the air as my eyes narrowed.

"Calm down Skai......"I stopped him from trying to calm me down.

"No I won't calm down I've been too much of a baby crying and running away from Andre and now I'm going to face him."I said looking at Drake with my index finger pointing in a direction.

"Okay so what are you going to do ?"He asked me as he sat up in his seat.

"I'm going to back to Atlanta,he started this game and I'm going to end his game."I said those words with so much conviction. I was ready to face Andre and put him in jail because I'm not going to allow him toss me around like a scared puppy.

"Slow down there, you really mean business."He said putting out his palms in the air.

"Yes Drake and I'm going to get all the help I could get from you, Becky and the police."I said looking at him waiting for a reply.

"Sure I'm in ,I told you I was gonna come in handy so when do we leave ?"He sat up and put the food into the back seat since none of us were eating anymore.

"Can tomorrow be possible ?"I asked him with hopeful eyes.

"Yeah but we'd leave in the evening so we could say goodbye to Kelvin and his family and address the company before leaving."He said as he started the ignition and strapped his seat belt to seat.

"That's fine we could tell them this night."I said as I put on my seat belt.

"Whatever you say Skai"He reversed out of the parking lot and we drove home.

We arrived home and we stepped into the mansion. I saw Kelvin and the others in the living room talking and giggling.

"Look who finally came home."Busayo said as she rolled her eyes and returned her attention back to her phone which were in her hands.

"Well you're the reason we stayed out so long."Drake said as he settled in one of the cushion.

"Where have you guys been,you missed dinner."Adesola said with a serious look as she watched Drake settle down.

"We wanted to have a tour round the city but plans changed so we just ate snacks in the car."He said as he removed his tie from his neck then he threw it at the twins who gave him a death glare.

"Sorry about coming home late,we were caught up with some unforseen events."I caught everyone's attention with my statement as I took a seat next to Drake.

"What happened ?"Kelvin asked as he sat on the edge of the couch looking intently at me.

"Andre sent one of his guys to Skai and Skai is not letting it go."Drake said with tiredness in his voice as he rested his head into the cushion.

Everyone in the room were now sitting on the edge of their seats and had their eyes on Drake and I.

"Did he hurt you ? What did the guy do ? "Adesola threw questions at me as she walked towards where I sat and sat with me.

"I'm fine he just dropped a note saying he's expecting me in Atlanta and I'm going there to face him, we'd be leaving tomorrow evening." I said looking at Drake who was trying to seat up.

"What ?! Don't you think you should stay here ?"Kelvin had worry on his face as he stood up from his seat.

"Uncle calm down, we base in Atlanta and that's where we'd have our feet firmly stuck to the ground because I have a lot of my men there,we could inform the police too since that's where most of the harassing took place."Drake stated the reasons for our going back to Atlanta to his uncle as he held him by the shoulder. He really took him as a father and he cared deeply about him.

"Okay fine but if there's anyway we could be of help let me know okay ?"Kelvin said as he took his seat.

"Yes I wouldn't hesitate to do so and thanks for understanding."I assured Kelvin while I rested my gaze at Adesola who looked worried.

"Don't worry aunt, we'd be fine and Drake is coming along so I'd be safe ."I took her hands in mine and I assured her but she still looked worried.

"Please be safe and you two do what you can to put that man away from your lives."She said with a smile and she drew me in a hug then the twins joined in the action.

We broke the hug and the twins didn't return to their seats they were still standing in front of us like they had something to say.

"Dad, mom, Busayo and I have something to tell you."Busola said as she tucked her hands into the back pocket of her trousers.

"What is it this time ?"Kelvin grunted and he looked at the twins.

"It's a request we want to make and we'd be really happy if you and Mom could grant it ."Busayo said as she stepped forward with her hands nervously rubbing against her thighs.

"Okay darlings let's hear it."Adesola replied in a calm tone and we all looked at them wanting to know what they were about to say but Drake seemed relaxed maybe he knew what they wanted to say.

"We want to go with Drake to Atlanta and stay with him for some months."Busayo words made all of us except Drake widen our eyes.

"What ?! Why ?"Kelvin exclaimed as he sat on the edge of his seat.

"Please dad, since we graduated out of highschool we've been wasting ourselves at home and we are tired of being in the same environment, please let us stay with Drake for some time."Busola pleaded with one of her hand engulfed the other in a fist.

"No Busola, can't you see what they are going back to meet in Atlanta, you are staying right here."Kelvin ordered them and the twins had their faces down.

Drake got up from where he sat and walked towards the twins. He stood in between the twins and he drew them closer to him with his hands around them.

"Uncle I love these monkeys like I'd love my actual sisters and I won't let one heartbroken idiot hurt them, so trust me when I say they are safe with me."Drake appealed to his uncle and his wife as he made puppy eyes alongside the twins.

"Please Kelvin we can trust him and he has promised to take care of the girls, c'mon Kelvin."Adesola appealed to her husband.

He gave a huge sigh and he relaxed back into the cushion.

"Fine! But you guys would be back as soon as your college admissions are ready."He said with a stern look.

The twins squealed for joy as they hugged Drake. We all laughed at their display of joy. Kelvin and Adesola stood up and walked towards the stairs.

"We'll be going to bed now, you two should get packing, you all know how Drake loves to be punctual." Kelvin reminded the twins as he took the hands of his wife and they climbed up the stairs.

"Oh yeah c'mon sayo let's get packing."Busola pulled Busayo from Drake. They came towards me and hugged me tightly.

"We'd be seeing you in Atlanta !"Busayo said as they broke the hug. Drake and I watched them as they ran up the stairs.

"Looks like the monkeys are moving in with me."He said as he moved towards the the stairs while I trailed behind him.

"Why do you call them monkeys ?"I asked him with a bit of laughter.

"Isn't it obvious, they are goofy, naughty and they are always laughing."He said with a smirk.

"Then that makes you a monkey because I see no difference."He stopped on one of the steps because of what I just said.

"Nice, real nice."He smiled and continued climbing up the stairs.

"I learnt from the best."He didn't reply me and we all went into our respective rooms.

I was exhausted for the day and I can't wait to be back in Atlanta because I really need to see Becky and visit Sekani but most importantly face Andre.
