The next morning Jonah woke up to do the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen, he yanked the duvet off his body, went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth and took a warm bath. He wore a short and a shirt and headed for the kitchen.
" Whatever you ladies are up to, I'm sure it's good" He said standing by the door, Elena and Penny chuckled each continuing with their cooking. " was it the aroma that woke you up? or me not being next to you"? Penny asked with a smile on her face. "Both hun" he replied hugging her from behind. "Good Morning Elena" he added. "Morning Jonal" Elena replied.
"Where's Devin? did he go out"? Jonal asked. "No, he hasn't come down yet" Penny replied. "Strange, that's unlike him,I'll go check up on him" Jonal said and left. " Is he gonna join us for breakfast "? Elena asked nervously. " I think so" Penny replied taking a spatula not noticing her nervousness. "Erm... I'm done with the sauce, I'll be right back" Elena said turning off the cooker.

Penny had finished setting up the table yet Elena was not down yet which got her worried, After what seemed like forever Devin came downstairs and joined them. They started eating yet Elena was yet to show up. "um..Penny "? Devin called. "Yes"? she answered. "Isn't your friend joining us"? Devin asked. " She has a name Devin and it's Elena call her that, by the way she's meant to be here by now" Penny replied. "I'll go check on her" Penny added about to stand up but Devin interrupted instead. " Don't worry, let me do it. just sit and eat" Devin offered. He was close to the stairs when Elena was coming down already. "Oh there you are, Devin was just about to come fetch you" Penny said. She was mute for some seconds but managed to take a sit, avoiding contact with Devin.
"Elena, are you okay? you look sort of nervous "? Penny asked. "I'm fine " she replied, her eyes glued to her plate". "Babe, Devin and I would be going to the hospital, an autopsy was done on mom and we were told to come today" Jonal spoke. "Alright dear, Elena will keep me company. And in the meantime be safe" Penny replied. " i will hun. Devin has arranged for some security while we're away,his boys will watch over you two till we're back" Jonal said and Penny only nodded eating her food. He noticed Devin was just playing with his food, he hadn't eaten much. "Bro, you okay"? he asked. "Um. sure. I'll be in the car, join me when you're ready" Devin said about leaving. "Devin, you know i made the dish with effort right" Penny spoke. "I'll buy you pizza on my way back" Devin replied knowing her weakness, and she smiled as he walked out.
Devin entered the car and immediately rested his head on the steering wheel as the memory of the previous night flashed through his mind. "What is wrong with me! Focus Devin "!!! he yelled at himself. He couldn't deny that he didn't love every bit of last night. her lips tasted so good and her body brought him down on his kneels 'Oh how he loved how irresistible she was' he thought. "You must not like any lady Devin" he reminded himself. "But you like her" his inner mind said. "No! I don't" he yelled this time aloud.
"Are you ok Devin "? Jonal asked puzzled as he opened the car door. "Yes Jonal, I'm fine" he replied trying to maintain his composure. "But, you were yelling at yourself just now". "I said I'm fine" He said not turning to look at Jonal, he ignited the car and drove
