Romeo POV

“Owen, I have found a work, I think I can start doing” I said.

“How come, we were together since and you aren’t with you mobile phone, if you are with your phone, I will have said you asked on the internet or make a phone call to someone.

So, can you please tell me how you were able to get a job without living this visinity” Owen asked.

“Yeah, you are right, is not like I have been giving the job but I think of I applying for the job tomorrow, I might be lucky, we can’t tell”I said.

“So tell me which type of job, and how do you come to know about the job, I mean who told you” he asked.

“It’s a delivery work, there was a restaurant close to my school, and I have been seeing a notice there for the past one week now.

Actually they need a delivery worker and a waiter or waitress. I can do the two or what do you think” Romeo said.

He was looking at me in a way I couldn’t understand.

“Hey! why are you staring at me like that?” I asked.

He moved closer to me and touch my neck, like he was checking my temperature.

“Why are you checking my temperature? I never told you am sick”I asked.

“I was just checking to be sure if you are okay, but I realized you aren’t” he whispered to my ear.

“Meaning, I don’t understand” I asked making a serious face.

“How can you even think of being a delivery boy, you Romeo Emery the only son of the Emery” he said tapping me on my shoulder.

“Common buddy, I need to do something to survive, or do you want me to go and start stealing people’s property just to survive” I said and sat on the chair in the studio.

“I don’t said you should start stealing, you can do another work instead of this” Owen said and start to operate his phone.

“Which work do you think I can do, and moreover I don’t want to be far from my school” I said but he didn’t reply me.

“Are you trying to oppress me with you phone, or why aren’t you saying anything?” I said.

“Just keep quiet, am looking for more suitable job you can be doing after school. I don’t support you been a waiter or a delivery boy, never!”Owen said.

“Am very sure you can’t get a suitable job for someone like me” I said and he look at me straight in the eyes.

“Why do you think you can’t get more suitable work than this delivery job” he asked.

“I am not a graduate and am very sure the vacancy you will see, will be only for graduate, people with good qualification” I said.

“No, there should also be a good work for undergraduate like us” he argued.

“Okay then, keep searching” I said and kept quiet.

Putting my hand under my jaw.

“I have found one” he shouted.

“Show me, let me see” I said.

And he show me his phone.

“Do you check the details, I mean the amount they would be paying monthly, there Location and some other necessary things to know” I said and took the phone from him.

I go though their details. I look at him and nod my head pitifully.

“What?” he asked.

“See this, can you see the amount there are offering for the job, and is night work, I will have sleepless night because of this work, no, that’s not possible, I can’t joke with my studies, so I will rather be a delivery boy than doing this job” I said and put his phone in his hand.

“You are right, I didn’t even think about that, so I don’t have anything to say again. I will have to watch you been a delivery boy ” he said with a teary eyes.

“You are so crazy Buddy, you are a good brother, you care about me so much, you are the best”I said and hug him tighty.

It was a emotional moment for the both of us.

“Tell me, are you happy with this or you are doing this because you don’t have any options” he asked hugging me tightly.

“Yes am very happy with it, do you forget I love riding motorcycles, that’s a great chance for me, I won’t missed my sportbike so much, you Know” I said and disengage the hug.

“Hmm, I know you are a strong guy and you are never get discouraged, am sorry I can’t do anything to help you” he said and manage to smile.

“Common pull yourself together. If you aren’t happy then how will I be happy” I said and frown.

“That doesn’t suit you, frowning makes you look old and horrible, so just smile and stop pretending” he said wiping his tears.

“I feel like God as bless me with the best brother, but I realized I was mistakenly, because he just like to cry alot.

I don’t like someone crying, it makes me feel bad” I said smiling.

“You are so naughty, how could you say that to me, when you are the one crying few hours ago” he said.

“Me I can never cry” I said boostfully beating my chest.

“My dad as really changed, he has changed that he don’t even know what to say to his children” Owen said in a mimicking way.

then I realized he was mimicking me.

I scratched my head. He burst out laughing.

“You see, I was able to make you laugh.

” Am the best” I said twisting.

“Wait a minute, let me twerk for you” he said and play a music on his phone..

“You must be so stupid, how will you shake this you small b*tt” I said and he laugh at me.

He didn’t reply and start to twerk.

“Help, I hurt my waist” he shouted and fell on the floor.

I burst into laughter and he stood up and pull his tongue out at me.

Then I realized he was lieing. “You are mad” I said.
