The moment George left, Sula opened her eyes and faked a smile. She heard George whispering to Donna, "Mom, not now..."
George's voice sounded quite nervous, as if he were afraid Sula would find out.
Donna was not going to let him go that easily. She grabbed George's hand roughly, and yelled anxiously, "George, what the hell is going on? Aren't you with Holley? And what were you doing with Sula?"
Donna frowned and continued, "I tried to fix my mistake and send Sula home. And when I get here, I find this. What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Mom, would you just stop for a minute?" George pulled Donna's coat nervously and said, "Let's go. Let's go downstairs and talk about it."
Reluctantly, Donna followed George downstairs. She plopped herself down on the sofa angrily and addressed George, "I tried to fix you up with Sula, but you told me you loved Holley. So I followed you and tried to send her back home. And what do I find? You were in Sula's room. Something going on between you two?"
Donna let out a cold smile and added," I've seen a lot. I've let a lot of stuff just go. But this? You trying to break up with Holley?"
"No!" George said resolutely as he found a break in Donna's tirade.
Donna looked at George, studying him. 'Obviously he's very much in love. What did Holley do to make him fall for her?' she thought.
Donna sneered and turned to Ge
to Donna, frowning, "Mom, I feel sorry for Holley. She is my girlfriend. I did this... No matter what you say, I'm sorry. I can't be with Sula."
George continued, looking at Donna slightly, "If Sula's parents have a problem with me, I'll do whatever they want. But I'm not dating Sula. I will agree to anything except that."
"You..." His words pissed Donna off. She looked him straight in the eye and said. "I just don't get it. What's wrong with Sula? Why won't you even give her a chance?"
George forced a smile and said, "She's alright. But I'm in love with Holley."
George was about to leave, but Donna kept him there. She insisted that they need to talk it out.
A voice came from the stairs, full of exhaustion and helplessness. Sula forced a smile and said, "Auntie, just let him go."
"Sula, you're awake!" Donna walked over to Sula and gave her a big hug. "You must be hungry. What do you want to eat?"
