Greg Tales

4 Sean: The generic boy wearing glasses



After the events that unfolded during the peak of the day, Greg went back to his apartment. He stood in front of the building.

"Shit! I should get in my apartment secretly. That old hag has crazy ears!"

Greg decided on that and stepped on the wooden steps. It made a faint noise that no normal human could ever hear. But Othwyn was not an ordinary woman.

"Greg, bastard! You came back!"

"You really are a crazy bitch, old hag!"

Greg turned around and was about to run.

"Idiot! Wait! I'm not going to ask for the rent- for now!"

Greg stopped.

"How can I believe that statement?"

"There's a guest for you. She's been waiting for you since morning."

"She?"

"Yes, its a woman! And its a serious matter."

"Serious matter? What is it?"

"It would be better if you heard the news by yourself."

"You aren't tricking me right?"

"Mrs Othwyn is saying the truth, Mr Greg."

The woman from the last chapter makes an appearance.

"PAUSE!"

The whole scene paused.

"Yo, chimp author! Its a webnovel right? Are you supposed to introduce a character like that? Give her a proper introduction; play with the words for a bit!"

[Got it!]

"Very well! PLAY!"

The woman who was seen talking to Othwyn earlier that day stood in front of Greg.

"What do you mean?"

"I really do have something important to talk to you."

"I see. What is it?"

"It would be better if you're sitting somewhere."

"Wow, it seems important."

"I've been saying that for the last few minutes."

"Okay, let's go inside my apartment."

"Very well."

"By the way, what's your name?"

"My name? Its Olivia."

********************************

"Here you go. I'm seated now. So, what's it about?"

"What I'm about to tell you might shock you! Please don't do anything reckless."

"I understand. Now, what is it?"

"Well-"

"Well?"

"You have two kids!"

"Huh?"

"Two kids; and you didn't even knew that they existed till now!"

"Huh?"

The chair in which Greg was sitting, fell back. Olivia and Othwyn went to check on him. He was knocked out.

*****************************

"Greg? Greg?"

Greg opened his eyes. He had no memory of the shocking news that was given to him yesterday. At least, he thought that the news was just some sort of nightmare.

But Greg was able to confirm that the events from last night was indeed true when he saw Olivia waking him up.

"You! Wait, if you're here- that means.... last night-"

"Yes! You have two kids!"

Greg sat up on his bed. His face looked like he was thinking something.

"Humm. I see. How old are they?"

"The boy and girl, both are sixteen."

"Twins, huh?"

"Yea, but they're quite opposite to each other."

"You know, I expected one or two such cases. But not this early. I expected this situation in my late 40's."

"How many women have you slept with, scum?"

"Hey! Don't judge a person whom you've just met without knowing the situation."

"So, what's the situation?"

"Well- I... was horny!"

"God! You know, I'm not quite fond of the fact that you are the children's father!"

"By the way, what's your relationship with my kids? I don't remember sleeping with you. Let me check once again!"

He took a giant ass book from the corner. The title was 'The women I've slept with'.

"Your name... starts with O, right? O- Olivia! Are you Olivia Bernard?"

"No."

"Then I'm stumped!"

"You haven't slept with me."

"Not yet!"

"Shut up, scum. And let me talk."

"Okay."

"Well, I'm their caretaker."

"Caretaker? Then who's the mother?"

"That's a private information that the mother of the children is not willing to share."

"Then, what the hell am I supposed to do?"

"The mother of your children wants you to take care of your children."

"Why now? Why not before?"

"Well, the illness has worsened and she's bed ridden."

"Illness?"

"She's been suffering from a fatal illness and the situation worsened recently."

"What's the disease?"

"I'm not entitled to disclose that info too."

"So, I'm not supposed to ask you anything!"

"I guess so!"

"And I'm to look after the kids?"

"Yea."

"Nice! Very nice!"

"I'm personally against the fact that the kids are going to be taken care by such a scum! But its the mother's wish!"

"Wait, this isn't 'How I Met Your Mother'. You don't have to say 'the mother' again and again!"

"How am I supposed to mention her, then?"

"I don't know! Call her Alien X or something. It sounds more cool!"

"What!?!"

"What happened?"

"I'm not gonna call her Alien X. I'm gonna call her the mother, if you like it or not."

"Very well! I don't care."

"I see."

"Well, can I see them?"

"About that-"

********************************

"So where is he?"

Greg and Olivia were hiding behind an electric pole near a restaurant.

"Why are we hiding tho?" Olivia asked.

"Well, its my habit to observe the target first."

"So, you're a stalker?"

"Shut up and point me to him!"

"There, that's Sean!"

"Sean, huh? Not a bad name. So is that him?"

Greg pointed to a smart looking guy sitting in one of the tables. He was surrounded by girls.

"What? No! He's over there-"

Olivia pointed her finger towards the table in the far corner. A kid wearing glasses was holding the cup of tea with both his hands and was sipping the tea slowly- that was Sean.

*****************************

"Yay! I got my own introductory chapter! Saw that, Greg? Yet, I wasn't featured much in this chapter. But that means that I'm getting another chapter, right? HAHAHA! Even you didn't get two chapters, Greg!"

"I don't need two chapters, idiot! This whole webnovel revolves around me!"

"You are so self-centered.... But, you're right!"

"Sean, I'm sad!"

"I knew it! I knew already that you will be sad because I'm happy!"

"Not because of that, dimwit!"

"Then why?"

"You do know that we got an end segment in each chapter where I'll answer readers questions, right?"

"I heard the author mention it once!"

"Well, I guess people aren't interested to talk with me or ask questions!"

"Don't worry now, Greg! I'm sure they're listening now! Just announce it once again!"

"Okay! I, Greg, will be answering your questions at the end of every chapter! So, if you got any, blast them right at me!"

"Greg?"

"Yes, Sean?"

"How are we supposed to end the chapter now?"

"LIKE THIS!"
