(Audrey Pov)

The kitchen room was silent

Sitting across my auntie and Monica, Monica giving me a glare while my auntie could do is sip her green tea

Sitting next to me, Jeff could do is stare at Monica intensely. Not a gaze but, feeling an intense aurora around him...Monica didn't payed much attention to Jeff intense stare. Maybe because Jeff was in disguise, his mouth covered while wearing a black hoodie, his hair hiding under it

Gulping feeling many emotions in this moment, gulping looking around. Seeing many different ingredients around the counter

Taking in a breath, I half smiled at them while my hands together

"....I can explain--"

"Oh you have a lot to explain about this situation young lady" Monica started, sighing I nod

"Yea I'm aware of what's going on but, please give me chance to explain--"

"Audrey! After what we just talked yesterday night and this morning. Did they not meant to you??" Monica exclaimed, feeling her disappointment crawl up my spine

"Monice please! Let me talk! Look, I know I've disappointment you two....i really do...and, I'm sorry, I really am...but, you have to at least hear me out--"

"We heard you and what you said this morning and we forgive you but, bringing a boy in your aunt home and him in your room? Audrey that's crossing the line young lady--!"

"I'm a friend." A low growl was heard next to me, looking over at Jeff. His eyes ever so glaring at Monica so intensely. His hands under the table as he clenched his pajama pants tightly. As he took a breath, and starts to speak

"We've both met at the comic store yesterday morning....i was seeking something to eat as I try to look for new clothes to wear since my old ones were dirty and half ripped....your granddaughter or daughter, whatever, she promised to help me...she given me food, clothing and shelter...and, I greatly thank her for saving me not from starvation but, for her kindness.." he finishes, as he looks over both Monica and my aunt Nana

Staring over at him...his voice was soft and gentle. He acted as if the story he made up was real. His face showed honesty along side, his clenched fist were now calm. His hand let go of the pants

"Audrey...is this true?" looking over at my aunt who stayed quite at this whole situation, her face showed sadness as Jeff successfully made her believe him

I nod, feeling guilt rise within me since I'm practically lying to her..

"Y-yeah...he was cold and tired...he doesn't have a home, I decided to help him and maybe give him a place to stay...im sorry for not asking you first Nana.." I say sadly looking down at my hands

Looking over at Nana, surprised. She smiled softly at me. Her hand on top of mines, she nods

"I believe you, both of you" she said looking over at Jeff as he looks over at Nana, his eyes wide open. We stayed speechless but, quickly, I smiled back

"Thanks Nana..." I say, Monica sighs and shakes her head

"Fine...i guess I'm sorry for jumping into conclusions...but, next time. Audrey, talk to us...please?" Monica begged, I smile back to her. I nod

"For sure...im sorry again.." I say, Nana giggled as she stood up

"Stop saying sorry! It's in the past, now Audrey. Don't be rude, introduce us to him!" Nana said excited

Looking over at Jeff, he nods and stands up

"U-uh...im J-Jonathan...Erlm...nice to meet you ma'ams..." he said shyly, I nod smiling at Nana
