SIBLINGS: Forbidden Love

A month later, Jason stepped on the soil of Los Angeles but rather than go home, he went straight to Anna's school. Anna was shocked when she received Jason's call that he was at her school gate, she had dashed out of her dorm and fair enough, he was there, she jumped on him and he spun three times with her before putting her back on her feet.

"When I call you feisty tigress, you will get annoyed but now look at you" he laughed.

Anna spanked him on his shoulder lightly, she so much wanted to kiss him but they just can't, this is LA after all "what are you doing here?"

"Hmm, that's not what you asked when you jumped on me a minute ago" he grinned.

Anna chuckled "well, first of all, I have to react on seeing you before questioning you, don't you think?"

"You busy? Come join me for dinner."

Anna looked at her dressing "I'm I good like this?"

"You will look beautiful no matter what you wear" he complimented.

"Why, thank you" she replied shyly before grabbing his hand and they strolled to a nearby restaurant.

"So how has life been like?" Jason asked after they finished ordering.

Anna sighed "great, only that I'm feeling kind of strange this days."

"Strange? How so?" Jason asked worriedly.

"Don't know. I sleep a lot, grow tired easily. Twice I puked in school."

"You puked?"

"Yea, but I think is fever. The school nurse gave me some medicine and I was okay after that."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want you to worry and besides, I'm okay now."

"Are you sure?"

"Yep."

"Or should we see a doctor?"

"No need. I'm okay now" she smiled "how long will you be staying?"

"How long do you want me to?" He asked coquettishly.

Anna chuckled "till I round up next week, then we can return together."

Jason laughed "no can do. I will be staying three days. I told mom I will be back in three days time."

"Does she know you are here?"

"Nope."

Anna widened her eyes "you didn't tell her?"

"I mustn't tell her" he rolled his eyes "I will go home in three days time. Uncle Peterson asked me to come over next Monday to familiarize myself with the company like he said."

"Oh" their food arrived then "I can't believe you are done with school and will be starting work soon. Will you be going from home?"

"Yep, for a while."

"You are moving out?" She asked shocked.

"Yep. I have come of age."

"You are twenty one!"

"No ma'am. I will be twenty two next month."

"Oh, that's true" she looked solemn "will you be going home during weekends?"

Jason smiled and got up from his seat, he leaned across the table and placed a soft kiss on her lips "you will be visiting me."

Anna's eyes lit up immediately "I will?"

"Yep" Jason replied before sitting back on his seat. Anna smiled beautifully and then started eating her food with more enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, at the same time that day, Veronica was busy typing away on her laptop when her phone screen lit up, followed by the sound of her ringtone, she glanced at the phone before picking it up "hello Anita."

"Veronica, where are you?"

"At home. Is something the matter?"

"Anna and Jason are your children right?"

Veronica furrowed her brows at the question "is there any problem?"

"I have only seen Jason in a photo but I will know him anywhere, and I have met Anna in person, so I know her too ..."

"What are you saying Anita, go straight to the point" Veronica interrupted impatiently.

"What I'm saying is that I just saw Jason kissed Anna."

"What? Are you sure?"

"One hundred percent."

"No it can't be, Jason is not in town."

"I'm telling you that I just saw them."

"And I'm telling you that you saw wrong" Veronica retorted "listen, Jason and Anna are siblings, there is no way they will be kissing."

"With the way I saw them, they look like they are in love. Their interaction says a lot."

"Anita, it's not possible."

"Whatever, but just put an eye on those two, there are too close."

"They have always been close, right from childhood."

"Veronica ..."

"Anita" veronica interrupted "I'm busy, we will talk later" and with that she ended the call. She stared at her phone for some minutes before shaking her head, Jason is not in the country, she told herself before continuing with what she was doing.

Jason took Anna back to her school before leaving in a taxi to his hotel after promising to have breakfast with her in the morning.

The next day, Jason did as he promised and woke Anna up, they went to the school canteen because she had class that morning. Jason paid for their order and carried the tray to their table. Anna wasn't feeling too well that morning and Jason noticed "I still think we should go to the hospital."

"But I'm okay, it will just last for a while. It's how it goes every morning, if it wasn't because of you. I will still be in bed."

Jason smiled and caressed her cheek tenderly "I didn't know you are still a sleepyhead."

She brushed his hand away with a "hey" before looking away to hide her blush.

Jason smiled at that "eat up, or you will be late for class."

That same morning, Veronica was getting into her car when her phone rang, she fetched it out of her handbag and rolled her eyes when she saw the caller ID before picking up "hello Anita."

"I took Margaret to school this morning, she has not been feeling fine so she came home but I dropped her in school this morning, guess who I saw in the school canteen?"

"Who?"

"Anna and Jason. Together. Again."

Veronica heaved a frustrated sigh "Anita, and I'm telling you again, Jason is still in school. He called me yesterday saying he will be back on Sunday because he has to go to Peterson's on Monday. So what will he be doing in Anna's school?"

"Exactly what I want to know."

"Anita, I'm going to say this loud and clear, stop reporting about my children to me, understand?"

"You are not seeing what is going on here Veronica, the way Jason looks at Anna is the way a man does to his lover."

"And I'm telling you Anita, I don't want this shit. If Jason is really in LA and with Anna, I will want you to stop monitoring my children, I don't see anything wrong if he visits his sister. So please, stop it" and she hung up angrily. She got into her car and slammed the door after her. Veronica drummed her fingers on her steering before unlocking her phone and dialing Jason's number. He picked on second ring "where are you?"

"I'm in school, is anything the matter?" He asked.

Veronica inhaled and exhaled "mom?" She heard Jason called from the other side.

"No nothing, I just wanted to know. Alright then, I will call you later, I need to get to the office."

"Oh, okay, bye."

"Bye."

Back at the canteen, Jason stared at his phone after talking to his mom "what is wrong?" He heard Anna asked and looked at her.

"Mom. She just called and asked where I am."

"Oh, you think she knows you are in the country?"

Jason was silent for a while as his mind calculated the possibility "I don't know, but it sounds like she is not sure."

"Will you be going back then?"

"I don't know" he answered.

Anna wanted to speak but she suddenly felt nausea and jumped up from her seat, she rushed to the bathroom immediately with her hand covering her mouth and the other holding her stomach. She started vomiting immediately she was inside the ladies room.

Jason followed her and stopped at the door while he watched her, he walked closer to her and rubbed her back. Anna splashed water on her face and rinsed her mouth when she felt better, she looked at the mirror and saw Jason looking at her "why are you looking at me like that? Why is your face like that?"

Jason frowned his face as his mind contemplates, he wanted to speak but seems to be finding it difficult before he finally voiced out his question "have you seen your period?" He asked softly.

"What?" Anna asked before doing the calculation in her mind "it should be out on fourteen."

Jason frowned deeper when he heard her answer "Anna, today is seventeen."

Anna froze while still looking at him through the mirror "seventeen?" She asked and saw Jason nod through the mirror.

She turned to look at him with fear in her eyes "what...what...what do..do you...think?"

Jason remained silent for a while before heaving a deep sigh "I think we need to go to a hospital."
