703 His Stubborn Girlfriend
“We would have to call for a meeting as soon as possible before Daniel thinks of anything funny,” Marcel told Victor as they drove back to the base, or so he thought.
“Is too late today, tomorrow would be better and I have to drop off at this point,” Victor said to his surprise, looking at the bus stop.
“What?” Marcel blinked up at him.
“I need to pay Mimi a visit, we haven’t spent much time together recently because of ....” Victor trailed off when he realized what he was about to say, however, Marcel already got it.
He nodded, “It’s not a problem. I’m not a baby that you need to babysit anyway. Moreover, I’m sure her parents are dying to know your marriage plans. especially now you knocked their daughter up,”
“Haha, funny,” Victor noted his choice of words.
“Come on,” Marcel patted him on the shoulder saying, “You don’t need to drop off halfway. So you just get to her place and I’ll drive back home and send the car for you after I’ve arrived.”
“Well, thank you.” Victor was touched by his kindness. It seems like the Marcel he once knew was slowly returning. Arianna did mess him up really badly.
The both of them hadn’t spoken about his plans to get Arianna back or her so claimed pregnancy and Victor let the issue be. Knowing Marcel, he would only open up to him when he wanted it. He only prayed that his family gets distracted by Elijah’s case enough not to bring up the issue at the next meeting which was coming up faster than he thought
.....
They continued their conversation, both of them careful enough not to bring up Arianna or anything that would remind him of her. Victor finally arrived at his girlfriend’s place and he got out of the car while Marcel shifted to the driver’s seat and took over.
“I guess, I’ll see you later,” Marcel said.
“Yep, don’t wait for me. I’ll be home late.” Victor winked at him.
Marcel scoffed, “Whatever. As if you’re my girlfriend...” He trailed off as the memories returned to his head.
Victor knew he probably thought of Arianna again when the awkward silence descended upon them. He immediately said, “Go home Marcel,”
“Aye, consigliere,” Marcel waved at him before starting the car and driving off. Victor watched him the entire time until he drove out of sight. He shook his head in pity, his poor cousin. He deserved a little bit of happiness, you know.
With Marcel gone, only then, was Victor able to walk over to the entrance and knocked on the door. Yep, there was no more sneaking in through the window again. Only thieves do that and he had gotten Mimi’s parent’s permission to date their daughter. So this was him doing it the honorable way instead of sneaking in like a thief.
“Hello Victor,” Hannah was the one who opened the door. She welcomed him by wrapping her frame around him in a hug. And for quite a petite figure, she was quite strong. She almost crushed his lungs.
Over the weeks, Victor got along well with Mimi’s mother, and she usually called him the son she never had. They were practically besties now, that is if you can call a son-in-law and mother-in-law relationship that. And though Roger warmed up to him, he still had his reservations about Victor considering his occupation. Aside from that, he was beloved by his in-laws.
“It’s so nice to see Hannah,” and if you can stop crushing my lungs now, he said inwardly.
As if she heard his prayer, Hannah step back and said excitedly, “I’m so glad that you’re here,”
“Yeah, me too,” Victor let her take his hand as she walked into the house shouting,
“Roger, your son-in-law is here,”
Roger was reading a newspaper when he arrived and he closed it and folded it into two before keeping it at his side.
“Victor, you’re here,”
“Nice to see you, Roger,”
It was quite an awkward exchange for Victor and Roger because while Victor went for the usual handshake since the man was cautious around him, Roger surprisingly went for a hug this time and they fumbled for a while before settling for a weird embrace.
Well, that was progress.
Settling down, Victor discovered that there was no sign of Mimi and he asked her, “Where is Mimi?”
Hannah laughed, “That is a weird question because I was about to ask you the same.”
Victor raised a questioning brow, “What?”
“She told me she was going to see you,” Hannah chuckled nervously. This happening now was a joke, right?
Best
At once Victor and Roger’s eyes met and there was sudden tension in the air. If anything happened to his daughter, he was going to skin him alive.
“Oh right!” Victor suddenly laughed, “I forgot but Mimi told me she would be seeing my mother instead,” He lied just to alleviate the situation. But the look on Roger’s face told him that he doubted that.
Victor brought out his phone and pointed to it, saying, “I should probably call her and ask what’s keeping. You know, my mother can be quite a storyteller, haha!” He laughed and stood from his seat.
“I’ll be back,” He ran out of the room as quickly as his feet could take him and found the bathroom, locking himself in.
Victor quickly called her name and waited for her to pick up. The call went through.
“Victor?”
“Where are you, Mimi? Do you know.... wait a minute, ” Victor paused at once when it hit him that the voice didn’t sound like his Mimi at all. And it sounded quite familiar.
“Victor?” It came again.
“Arianna?!” He was stunned. How was this....?
Holy mother of God, it dawned on him. That stubborn girlfriend of his went after Arianna even after he explicitly instructed her not to. Oh, he was so mad right now!
“What the hell, Arianna?! Where is Mimi and why do you have her cellphone?” He hoped to God that this wasn’t some sick joke and that her people don’t have her.
“Mimi came to find me and gave it to me. She said that it would be our way of being in touch.”
“Then where is she?!”
“She should be home soon,”
Almost immediately, he heard Hannah’s voice informing him that Mimi was finally home.
“Well, she’s finally home.”
“Thank God,”
There was a short silence between them before Arianna said, “Listen, Victor, I know that -”
“I have nothing to say to you, Arianna,”
Victor hung up on her.
