Chapter two

My brother was at the door and I stood flabbergasted as I glanced at him thinking of how he had found my new house.

My brother and I weren't of good standing in the past, its just a few months before my wedding that we made peace with each other and there he was at the door, looking all spiffy as he exclaimed, "Benjy bro!" "What's up you ain't gonna welcome your brother?."

"ohm. Sorry, please get in," I said, helping him carry his bags inside.

I asked him why he had so many bags with him and he said, "Well I've got a new job here in Lusaka and at the moment I've got no place to stay, I wanted to go to mom's place but yish... looks like she only wants to be with dad in that big house and so she gave me your address and vwala!"

"Man, I just got married," I thought to my self as I gave a strained smile.

"Come on bro, I'll only be here until I find myself an apartment, don't you worry, I know you just got married and want some quality time with your wife."

"You got that right," I grimed.

"So when are you going for your honey moon and where?"

"That's none of your business bro, I know you very well," I said almost agitated.

I called my wife to come meet my brother but noticed the strange look they gave each other.

"Do you guys know each other?" I asked.

My wife answered and said,"No,not at all, I just didn't know you had a brother, you never told me anything about him. Its really a pleasure meeting you Mr uhmm...?"

"Dickson! My name is Dickson and its a pleasure to meet you too Ma'am or should I rather say My in-law," My brother answered and held her hand for a kiss and I stood there feeling awkward and I immediately interrupted and said, "well this is Dixon my brother and I am so sorry I haven't told you anything about him and I assure you he is the only one in the family who I haven't introduced you to and he will be here with us until he finds himself a place to stay, only for a week I suppose isn't it my sweet brother?"

"Ohm yes, only a week," He answered.

As my wife went to prepare Dixon's room we continued the conversation.

"You are only staying here for a week right, you will find an apartment in three days even," I said.

"Bro finding an apartment isn't has easy as you think,'

"Isn't as easy as I think what bro! I just got married and here you are disturbing my peace again, I prefer if you came later after some time has passed for me and my wife to at least settle, besides you are a well to do person, just go in a hotel or something."

"Benjy you are my brother, why should I go to a hotel when you have a house, this is really a big house bro and you won't even notice my presence and besides I wanted to go at moms place but she insisted I come here bro...look bro lets forget about the past and everything that happened, I said I am sorry but I guess you still hold that grudge?"

"No...I hold no grudge and I have forgotten about everything that happened, its just that... this is my new home, my wife's as well and I want to spend some quality time with her alone. I stoutly asked dad and mom not to visit me for a while and to apprise it to the rest of the family members. My wife and I can't go for our honey moon because of the tight schedule I have at the office and this being a new place I've figured will make her feel relaxed and calm and I will try to create time even despite the busy schedule and I ask that you give us space bro at least for a week bro just one week so that I make it happen for her."

"Sorry bro...I've heard you and I understand and I admire that. I'll go find a place to lodge for now."

"Thank you, and I guess after this you can come back that's only if you wont find that apartment, I really don't mind you living with me and I know my wife will understand."

"Thanks bro."

Seven months went by and my brother now lived in my house, but that never bothered me as our bond grew stronger and recovered all the days we lost during our childhood.

Dixon was president of the largest auto spare company in Lusaka and I owned a leading country fuel company, and we where both doing good.

I was called for an international meeting hosted in Morocco and would take 15 days. My wife was unhappy when I told her.

" Please Take me with you honey," she asked, hugging me from behind.

"I wish I can my tooties,shug,sweet honey bunch but I can't, I need to go alone, I'm sorry," I said as I got her off my back and snuggled my way to her curvy body giving her gentle kisses to her neck.

"But I don't want you to go baby, I need you with me. If I can't come with then don't go."

"Sorry hun but this is important to me and very beneficial for the company, I'll be back very soon and when I do I promise that you will have every piece of me and attention to yourself. You are really my favorite part of everyday and I want you close to me always."

"mmmmmh ok,"she moaned sadly.

"You the best, "I said while playing with her hair.

"I love you Benjamin, I love you so much."

"I Love you too Queen B,Let me just get my VISA ready and book for a ticket if you don't mind helping me."
