Chapter 18 - 18

Theo's cafe.

This cafe is the second-best in the city and is where Nelson has currently arrived in his car. It's obvious that he must visit a boutique since he's no longer wearing the suit from earlier but denim ripped blue jeans, white converse, an oversized black t-shirt with a 'Bad boy' logo pasted at the front.

He's wearing a black cap which he turned towards the back and a gold long chain around his neck.

On his left hand was a ring on his index finger and a chain bracelet.

Seeing him, some girls and women screamed: "Handsome, marry me".

Nelson smiled and shook his head.

He looked at his olden wristwatch on his right hand and looked at the clouds.

"I'd better et in before my darling comes in" he muttered to himself and smiled before going inside the cafe where he was greeted by a waiter.

"Please, a cup of coffee, "Nelson said as he walked to the extreme of the cafe to sit.

"Yes sir," said the waiter as he went to et the order.

2 minutes later, a Rolls-Royce pulled over behind Nelson's car and Lisa's dad dressed in a black Arabian male outfit( white thobe, ghutra and egal) and black sandals alighted from the car wearing sunglasses.

He closed the door and put his hands in his pockets.

Seein him, some crossed over to the other side.

This guy looks scary. It's not prejudiced,Lisa's father indeed was like ice, freezing ice that made people want to stay away from him.

He scoffed and entered the cafe.

"Hey darling, over here!"Nelson called from the extreme.

Lisa's dad turned to the right and saw Nelson waving at him with a smile.

Lisa's dad scoffed before walking over to Nelson.

He pulled a chair and sat.

"Darlin, now don't make this face at me. Smile for your honey will you?"Nelson teased.

"Don't beat around the bush. I don't have time" Lisa's dad said dryly as he looked at his wristwatch.

"Pretend! Keep pretending hypocrite"

"Nelson, i don't have time"

"Jackie..."

"I'm not a dog"

"Do only dogs bear jack?"

"And i'm a male"

"I know darling! Waiter, please get us a big jug of coffee and a mug. Both I and my darling here will get drunk" said Nelson.

"Get drunk!Silly!"

"Come on stoneface...be free for once. Do you know what i did today? I humiliated a stupid worker of mine and paid her some money for entertaining me."

"Fool" Lisa's dad muttered.

"Hey, stop saying such things. You're making me unhappy"

"Then die"

"Die?"Nelson asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Only dead people don't cry and remain peaceful"

"Oh! (in a hushed tone) is that why you didn't care for you little Lisa"

"Don't mention her name before me again. She should be grateful that i didn't throw her out"

"Jack, you can't say such a thing. I know that you hate her mum but Lisa's innocent"

"Are you here to preach to me on how to care for her?"

"No, i'm here because....i want to spend some time with you. Lie that you weren't excited to read my letter"

"I...dont waste my time, a second wasted is money lost, "Lisa's dad said unhappily.

"You really are a dumbhead, Jack. Do you know that i canceled 3 meetings and an appointment to come here?"

"And what about me? I miss you a lot. Let's visit a hotel after the coffee rivalry."

"You're crazy, "Lisa's dad said before standing.

At this time, the waiter had arrived with the jug of coffee and a mug both placed on a tray.

"I regret coming here," Jack said before turning to leave.

"Hey, darling, you can't just leave. Wait!"Nelson yelled as he rose up from is seat frantically.
