Shawn's pov;
" What are you doing here, I thought I said not to come again?". Nelson said as he got up from the bed.
" You sure sleep a lot. If you woke up a moment later, I would start growing white hair". I smirked at him.
He harrumphed. " Did my mummy say you should come?".
" Un, she's worried about you but I would say she has nothing to worry about since your mouth is still as sharp as I recall".
" You sound as though you hear me everyday when we've only talked once".
" Of course, I'm showing off my wisdom and elegance, can't you tell?".
He laughed loudly, " indeed, I've never seen a more elegantly stupid way of showing off".
Mira told me about his condition and asked that I come see him and see if he will get better. He honestly is still as feisty as before, he doesn't seem to be going through trauma like she said.
" Dinner is ready, you guys should come down". Xandra said by the door with a smile on her face.
" Will do in a bit".
I went down with Nelson and we were bickering all through. Mira was also in the dining.
Mira looked surprised seeing Nelson come down to the dining table, I've been told he's never ate in the dining since the incident.
" Wow". I heard her exclaimed.
" Come, come, let's eat". Xandra beckoned to us with a wide smile on her face, I must be doing a good job, I'm glad.
" I bet you came here just to freeload on our food". Nelson harrumphed with a glare when he saw Xandra serving me.
" Nelson, you don't talk to an elder like that. I'm sorry Mister, he doesn't usually disrespect his elders".
" No need, it's just the way we get along. That's how we are, don't mind us".
" Oh, I see".
" By the way, Mira,this was the man I was talking about, Shawn".
" Oh,the one who saved you and Nelson? Thank you so much Mr. Shawn,we owe you a lot".
" You are welcome. You can call me Shawn by the way, I feel old when you call me Mister".
" Alright then Shawn, thank you so much. You don't know how much Nelson means to us, he's our very own lifeline. You saved everyone of us thank you".
" You don't have to be so formal with me, I'm Xandra's friend afterall". I smiled.
After dinner, I kept Nelson's company until I got a call and had to go back.
" Will you still come again?". Nelson asked hesitantly as I was about to leave.
" I don't know, should I come or not?". I smirked while he scoffed.
" If you like his company just ask him to come next time". Xandra told him.
" He's irritating. But interesting". He looked conflicted.
" Just ask politely, I'm sure Shawn will do you a favor". Mira smiled at him.
" Aunty Mira,he said he wants to marry mummy and become my daddy, shouldn't I send him away?". He asked with a friend.
I tried to hold in my grin,' so,that was why he was holding a grudge'.
Mira gave me a questioning look, I coughed lightly.
" I was just kidding him" I answered with a most convincing smile.
" Oh, Nelson you hear that. He was just messing with you".
" As long as he doesn't say that again,he can come to our house. I'll let you eat with us too". He offered with a straight face.
" Oh, I'm so honored to have our poker face Nelson personally invite me to his house".
He harrumphed" will you come or not?".
" Of course,of course. I will".
I bid them farewell and left after promising them to come back some day soon.
