As he repeated the questions and still no reply, he looked at Vincent who was glued on his phone watching God knows what driving his attention away from Charles. Charles hit on the table a little hard to get the attention of the man who could divulge his crush whereabouts.
Vincent looked up towards Charles whose face is giving dead stares. "What were you saying" Vincent asked still scrolling in his phone with a grin from ear to ear. He roll his eyes while put the food he was eating in his mouth he sigh a little before he spoke "where.is.Jae.Won?" pausing on at every word to help get Vincent's attention.
That did get his attention as Vincent shift his gaze from the phone to the man who seems to be finding it hard to speak a sentence. "He is still sleeping. I don't know why but he still sleeping by this time." He said while he went back to his phone.
"What are you watching" Charles asked curiosily as why Vincent could not take his eyes off his phone for a second even though he is with him. At least they could talk a bit before Jae Won wakes up because he plans on spending his time on Jae Won.
He looked at Charles as he smiled showing what he was watching to Charles but he couldn't help as he let out a loud laugh that could wake up Gabon Viper from its sleep. Oh yeah they turned to sleep peacefully throughout the world most loudest noise.
Now back at Charles as he let out loud laugh, he immediately covered his mouth to not wake up the sleepy head upstairs. He still laughed even though it could not be heard. They were laughing at a video of Jae Won pounding fufu. And it was not only one video but on three or four occasions he videod Jae Won pounding even though he insisted on not allowing him.
Charles laughed so hard that he wanted to have this video in his collection but something hit him. Why was Vincent watching a video of Jae Won. "Do you find him attractive too" Charles said before he realized he has spoken putting himself in a tight spot.
He saw the confusion on Vincent face as he asked "what do you mean". He said looking straight at Charles with explain yourself look all over his face. "urrm urrm I…meant… I meant yeah do you find him like funny too" stammered Charles who heaved a sigh of relief the moment he came with a lie he isn't fully sure if it had worked.
"Oh yeah, he is funny sometimes" Vincent said making Charles beamed with smiles as he has succeeded in his lies and saved himself from whatever reaction he could give out. After he was done eating, he walked out to a look at the mansion where he spot a ball near the swimming pool.
"Do you mind playing catch with me while we wait for Jae Won" he asked coming into the mansion hoping he could feel relax a bit because he was so nervous to meet Jae Won again. Vincent pleaded with him to wait for an hour so he could finish what he started doing on his laptop when Charles went to take a look around the mansion. "Okay" he said while he waited at the living room looking through the channels to get something to watch.
After an hour and thirty minutes, Vincent was done with his work on the laptop and went straight to sit by Charles side. "How have you been?" he asked genuinely making Charles surprised to be hit with such a question. "Well, I've been okay. Just going through the day as I can" he replied making Vincent smiled. He nodded at his reply as he too felt the same.
Vincent then stood up from the couch and signaled Charles to go play the ball. They started playing when Vincent realized Charles was sweating too much. "Why don't you take off your shirt" he suggested. As Charles was taking of his shirt, Vincent did the same.
They played happily making a lot of noise as they seems to have forgotten some sleepy head is upstairs sleeping his life away. Charles got curious all of a sudden as to why he feels Vincent doesn't have much friends. "So do you have any other friends apart from me? Even though we just met" he asked throwing the ball at Vincent who catches it really fast.
He laughed as he said "I have only one best friend as at now, he is called Akwasi. He was one among my friends but now he is my only friend". He threw the ball back at Charles who was caught off guard thinking about what he had just heard.
With his confusion, Vincent cleared up the confusion on Charles's face by explaining further. Let's go to the first year of Vincent going to his University. Because of how rich his family is, Vincent tend to keep it to himself. He was afraid people would only like him because of his name and this made his social cycle weird.
From his preschool till he graduated from high school, he had no friends. So when he got a lot sister after he was four, he was so happy he didn't even want to go school after that. He used his siblings as his friends till he entered the University where he met some group of people who were talking about football.
He approached them and asked the direction to the administration and they did. After he passed by them, he was called back and was asked if he was a first year. Later that day they all approached him after he was done with every document helping him look for his hostel.
He was actually happy when they did. At least he has gotten five friends at his University and couldn't help but expressed his excitement to his mum. Getting to the end of the first semester of their friendship, two of his friends approached him and asked if he could help one of them to pay his tuition for next semester.
He was confused as to why they've not even complete the first semester yet but he was seeking help for his tuition for next semester. Vincent's University he was attending was one of the best University where rich and brilliant people could attend. And those who could not afford have to depend on their brains as to get scholarships in order to attend submch schools. As they saw the confusion, they lied about how his tuition has been stolen as his father paid for the whole year into his bank before he travelled but withdrew it to start some business but he was duped of his money as the business was a fraud to take his money. And he would be dead if his father finds out.
Vincent didn't hesitate when he send the money through his bank account at that instant without thinking much. He said "education is necessary" as he smiled beautifully towards them feeling as good as something as he was able to help his friend who is in need.
They went to their separate hostel. After a week from that day, he heard rumors about his friend whom he had paid the fees for was throwing a birthday party for his girlfriend and had also bought her an expensive gift for her as she was flaunting it on the internet.
He didn't think much of it as knew his friend parents too was medium rich I must say and could afford to buy such things if he saved up towards that. Later that evening, he heard a knock on his door where he opened to be met with Akwasi who looked worried.
"Did you give money to Fred?" He asked. Vincent nodded but he didn't get to finish his nodding when he was met with shock of his life. Akwasi narrated how he overheard them saying how naive Vincent was, sending him this amount of money without thinking which they planned to take more.
He continued to tell Vincent how they had called him back the first day he asked for directions as Fred recognize him from the news and social media through he doesn't do that often. But sometimes his father forced him to go to some programs because he was bound to take over the company.
"Are you sure you heard them right?" Vincent asked, he truly believed not to trust someone words unless you see it for yourself. "Of course I heard them right" he replied really worried for Vincent. Akwasi truly take Vincent as his friend. He had had many friends in the past but Vincent really has been there for him just these few weeks they've met.
"Okay, if you say so. I will also conduct my investigations before I take any actions" he said in an assuring tone.
"Are you a CID too" Akwasi asked with surprise oh his face.
