Surprise graduation party

last update Last Updated: 2022-08-14 23:16:29

Amelia Cooper shuffled out of the Bluehills college’s gate and turned to look at its building for the last time under the moonlight.

The outdoor wall lights of the college walls lit up her very fair skin. Her blue eyes sparkled under the bright lights, and her red lipstick glitter.

She was finally done with college, and not just done, but she graduated as one of the best students in the faculty of arts, department of mass communication.

She was going to miss school so much, not because she had friends she made memories with, but because there was no way she was going to escape her cousins’ torture now.

*

When she was five, her parents were murdered right in front of her eyes by some evil men. They didn’t talk to her nor did they lay a finger on her. Amelia never stopped wondering why.

After her parents died, she became very depressed and isolated herself from everyone. She was quiet and never talked when she wasn’t invited to.

Her life turned upside down, and all she could think of was how to stay out of trouble. One thing she believed her parents didn’t do.

Her uncle, Mr. Freddie Cooper took her in and treated her like his child. At first, she was happy someone else in the world loved her, but when her cousin started making her life miserable, she wished he had left her on the streets to perish.

*

She heaved a loud sigh and turned to leave. She was dressed in a red BodyCon dress which fit her petite body shape and clear skin perfectly, she also wore 3-inches black sandal heels.

They were gotten for her by her uncle Freddie. Over her dress was a blue graduation gown that extended down to her ankles.

Her full, wavy, golden-brown hair was roughly tucked in her graduation hat so that it could fit.

She hung a black tote bag on her shoulder, and in this bag were books from her locker, some handouts, novels, and even the scroll that was given to her by the vice-chancellor.

The weight of her bag was pretty much for her, but who could she complain to?

Uncle Freddie had already told her that he wasn’t going to be attending her graduation party nor pick her up because of some important work at the office, so she had no choice than to trudge the streets of Bluehills home.

After ten minutes of walking alone, she got to Cooper's huge mansion. She knitted her brows as she noticed something strange in the mansion. The lights of every room in the mansion were out and the curtains were down.

“That is weird,” She mumbled to herself as she walked in through the gate, into the compound. She dragged her feet on the paved compound floor, carefully observing everything around her.

Everything seemed too peaceful, and this got her scared. ‘Did everyone leave the house?’

She expected the exterior and interior lights to illuminate everywhere as it has always been, but this time, she got disappointed.

She got to the large main door and turned to look around again. Her heart was beating very fast.

“Amelia, it’s nothing. It’s probably just a blackout.” She encouraged herself and reached for the doorknob slowly.

She applied pressure on it and pushed the door open unhurriedly. She walked into the dark living room, she could see absolutely nothing.

A drop of sweat rolled down from her neck into the beautiful margin that separates her breasts.

Before her eyes could adjust to the darkness, the light came on all of a sudden, and the people chorused with cheering, “Happy Graduation, Amelia!”

Amelia’s bag dropped from her shoulder in fright, and she leaned on the door for support. Her feet grew weak out of shock.

She looked around the living room, and her jaw dropped. There was a large banner that hung down from the tall ceiling which had “HAPPY GRADUATION AMELIA” written boldly on it.

There were colorful balloons tied on both sides of the banner. On the windows, and even at the edges of the stairs.

There was a large cake on the right side of the living room, on top of the cake was an image of a graduation hat and a wrapped scroll.

The sofas and center tables in the living room were replaced with tables that had bouquets and glasses of wine on them. Around the tables stood different people of great caliber, looking classy and expensive.

Amelia was too stunned to speak or move after realizing what happened to her. She couldn’t believe that Uncle Freddie would go to the extent of throwing her a surprise graduation party.

Freddie approached her with a glass of wine in his hand, his outfits were shining under the lights.

“Congratulations, Amelia.” He divulged a cheerful smile. Amelie’s throat tightened as she looked at him.

She grew emotional and tears heated her eyes in a few seconds. “You didn’t have to do this, Uncle,” She mumbled and embraced him very tightly.

“You know I would do anything to make you happy. I’m sorry I missed your graduation party. This is me making up for it.” He kissed her head, and she giggled.

“I’m so happy.”

She raised her head from his chest and looked at him. He smiled and lifted his glass, looking at everyone that watched them.

“Let’s celebrate! Today is a good day!” He announced, and they all clapped.

They started chatting, some started drinking, while some started vibing to the solemn music that was played.

“You should go and change. Your dress is in your room. I hope you’ll love it,” He said to her, and she bounced her head.

“I love it already.” She chuckled.

“Great! Hurry and change now. The party isn’t complete until the celebrant is ready.” He tapped her shoulder softly, and she reached for her bag.

She hurried to the stairs and climbed up. She took a few minutes to explore the decorations again. She felt blessed.

‘Truly, he loves me so much.’ She thought in excitement.

She got to the top floor and was about to run to her room when her cousins, Ava and Hudson crossed her path.

The excitement in Amelia washed down her body instantly, and her smile faded away quickly. There was no time she was in contact with them, she was always very scared.

Ava moved closer to her and grabbed her arm firmly, while Hudson looked around to see if anyone was coming.

“Ava, you are hurting me.” Amelia closed her eyes and muttered in pain.

“That is exactly what I want. Now come with me,” Ava uttered with gritted teeth and pulled her to her room.

She flung the door open and pushed Amelia into the room, making her stagger backward.

Amelia was breathing very fast and hard in panic, her hands began to tremble as she gazed at Ava.

“You are happy, aren’t you?! My father throws such a big party for you and you dare smile, hun?!” She lifted her hand and smacked Amelia’s face very hard.

Amelia’s head faced the floor and her graduation hat fell off, making her hair fall loose. “Now, I want you to get this into your thick ugly head…” She poked Amelia’s head with her index finger.

“My father isn’t your father! We would never see you as our sister, and we will keep torturing you until you leave this house!” Ava yelled and was about to hit her again when Hudson stopped her.

“Father is coming, we need to leave!”

“Go to hell,” Ava whispered to Amelia’s ear before rushing out of the room.

Amelia clenched her jaw as tears streamed out of her eyes. She rubbed her cheek, trying to subside the throbbing pain she felt.

“Amelia, have you tried the dress?” Freddie asked as he entered her room.

Amelia quickly covered her cheek with her hair and put on a smile. “No, I’ll do that now. It’s so beautiful.” She looked at her bed and saw a blue ball gown laid neatly on it.

Freddie furrowed his brows after noticing the tears on Amelia’s face. He moved closer and raised her jaw.

“Why are you crying?” He asked, and she smiled and shook her head.

“It’s nothing, Uncle. The surprise made me too emotional.” She lied.

Freddie giggled and embraced her tightly. “I’ll do anything to make you happy. You are my daughter too.”

He kissed her head again, and she bounced her head. She clasped her lips tight so that she wouldn’t burst into tears in front of him.

He let go of her and looked into her teary eyes. “After the party, I have a special present for you,” He said, and her face brightened.

“Special present?” she asked, and he bounced his head.

“It is one thing your late parents had always wanted you to have. I'll give you this present after the party.” He brushed her hair, and she nodded nervously.

‘What could this present be?’

    Amelia finished applying her light makeup, and she looked at her face in her large mirror. Her blue ball gown covered the baby shoes she wore, and was sweeping the floor. The gown slightly exposed the upper part of her breasts and her back was bare and exposed. She had straightened her hair, and they weren’t as wavy as they were initially. She faintly applied her black eyeliner which made her almond-shaped eyes look more elegant. Her alluring blue eyes glittered under the bright lights that hung on the top edges of her mirror. Her Cupid bow lips were masked with a colorless lip gloss that helped showcase how pink her lips were. She let out a sad sigh and lowered her head. She picked up the portrait of her parents that was on the table in front of her and stared at their faces. She ran her finger on the picture and said, “I wish you two were here with me today. I made you proud again. I am one of the best graduating students in my faculty and department.” She smiled and felt tears

    Amelia gazed endlessly into the onyx black deep eyes of the gorgeous man that pressed his lips against hers. His sandalwood cologne invaded her nostrils, and she didn’t want to loosen her grip on his expensive-looking suit. She pictured the beginning of a love story like she had always seen in movies, where the lady collides with a man and they fall in love afterwards. She was too shocked and captivated by his great charms to know what to do. “What the f**k!” James Parker, the man who Amelia had mistakenly kissed, hurriedly pulled himself away from her and fell to the floor on his butts. Amelia instantly snapped out of her fantasies and went on her knees. She felt a throbbing pain behind her head, and she gradually touched the back of her head. “I’m so sorry, Mister. I…” She stopped talking when somebody pushed her from behind, making her lose her stability again. She quickly gained her stability and looked up. She saw Ava shoot her a deadly look, and she knelt in front of Jame

    Amelia’s bulgy eyelids parted and closed slowly as she let out a soft yawn. It was morning and the rays of the sun found its way into her room through her large window. She had been awake for minutes but didn’t open her eyes, neither did she get out of bed. She felt too weak to do anything, and she wished she could lay in bed the whole day. But that was never going to happen. She had things to do. She recalled Freddie promised to give her a gift after the party yesterday, but she couldn’t remind him about it. Not after what went down at the party. She opened her eyes again, this time, not closing it. She laid on her left side and her eyes were directly on her parents frame that sat on the table in front of her. She stared at their smiley faces for a long time, and let out a sigh. She gripped the mattress firmly and dragged herself up. She sat up and yanked the bedspread off her body. She stared at her injured yet straight leg and saw blood stained the bandage already. She shook

    James got to his office, opened the door and strutted in. Amelia followed behind him before the door closed. She looked around his office and was lost in its beauty. His office smelled like new books. Its wall and tiles were white and sparkling clean, the white PVC blind folds that hung on his window were without blemish, and the chairs, desk and couch were seated at the right spot. Two leather office chairs were in front of his polished wooden desk, and behind his desk was an executive chair for him. He headed to his desk and sat on its edge. His right leg hung in the air, while his left leg was on the floor. The right leg of his trousers pulled up as he sat, revealing his thick black socks and a tiny part of his hairy yet clean leg.“Now, tell me. What are you here for?” He placed his arms on his right leg and stared at her. “Ermm, I am here to apologize for what happened at the party last night.” She bowed her head as she spoke. “And what happened at the party last night?” He

    Ava didn’t bother knocking on James’ office door before opening the door and walking in. James lifted his head from his computer to look at who had disrespectfully barged into his office. When he saw it was Ava, he heaved a sigh. ‘Only she can do such a silly thing.’ “Hi, James.” She smiled softly and approached his desk. “What do you want, Ava? I told you I don’t like disturbance at the office.” He shifted his gaze back to his computer and kept working.“I’m sorry, okay? You have been ignoring me, so I decided to pay you a visit.” She walked past the chairs and headed to where he sat. She touched his face with her right hand, and he looked at her. “Stop it, Ava.” He moved her hand away from his face.“Why? Don’t you love me anymore?” She asked, and he scoffed. “Love you? When have I ever said I love you, Ava?” He looked at her unbelievably. “What? But, we…” “We had one night of pleasure and that is all, Ava. No feelings attached. I made that clear before we kicked off, didn’t I?”

    After Freddie left Amelia’s room, she stood up and began to pace in the middle of her room. “Can I work in his office? I don’t think so. He hates me, and he is scary. This isn’t a good idea. I don’t think I can work well in his company. What if I ruin something, and I have to apologize again! Oh God, this isn’t good. Why is my life like this!” Amelia sat on her bed again and lowered her head in sadness and thoughts. The sudden sound she heard at her door jolted her out of her mind, and she saw Hudson walk in. He stood at her door and stared at her with a straight face. “My room is still dirty,” He said, and Amelia sprang to her feet. “I was preparing to come. I. Am. Coming,” She stammered, and Hudson moved closer to her. She gulped hard and stared at him as he approached her. “You were preparing to come and you were sitting?” He asked, and she slowly bounced her head. She bowed and played with her fingers nervously. “Why are you still waiting? You don’t know the way to my room,

    “Dad? I thought you went out,” Hudson uttered and got off Amelia quickly. “What the hell do you think you are doing?” Freddie fumed to where Hudson stood and threw a slap to his face. “Are you out of your mind? She is your sister!” Freddie yelled in anger, and Hudson divulged a frown. “She isn't my sister!” he yelled. Freddie clenched his fist and looked at Amelia, who covered her body with his duvet. “Go to your room, Amelia,” Freddie ordered her, and she bobbed. She wrapped her body with the duvet and wept as she ran to the door. “Hey… my duvet!” Hudson yelled, and Freddie raised his hand in the air to slap him again. “Dad, that is enough. You and I know that she isn’t my sister. We are not related. Why do you keep lying to her?” “Shut up, Hudson! Shut that filthy mouth of yours! Amelia is always going to be family, okay? Whether you like it or not. And trust me, Hudson, you are going to pay for this!” Freddie poked his chest and boiled out of his room. “Oh God, what the hel

    “Thank you so much for helping me arrange yesterday, Elena. I would have had to do all of the work alone if you weren’t around. My uncle had an emergency meeting,” Amelia said to Elena as she stood in front of her door. Amelia was dressed in a white ironed shirt and black office pants. She carried a black tote bag which hung on her shoulders. In her bag were her credentials. She was fully prepared to apply for a job at James’ company. “It’s nothing, Amelia. You are my new neighbor and it’s only nice of me to help you out,” Elena responded, and Amelia bounced her head happily. “So… where are you headed? You are off to work?” She asked, and Amelia heaved a sigh. “Not really, Elena. I’m just going to apply for a job. I hope I’m accepted into the company.” Elena smiled and nodded. “You seem smart. You will be accepted. I wish you good luck.” Amelia nodded and smiled widely. “Thank you. And you? You aren’t going to work?” She asked, and Elena shook her head. “I’m yet to secure a job.

It’s your wedding day, not a horror show night.” Amelia rushed out of the room to the living room where Elena and a few friend that were the bridal trains were waiting for her. “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. I had to make sure I got my makeup right since I insisted on doing it myself. I have been practicing for over three years for this day. To do my makeup myself!” She said proudly. “And you didn’t disappoint me! You look absolutely stunning, sister.” “Thank you! You look so beautiful too! I bet you’ll look even more beautiful when you walk down the aisle with our father today.” She answered with great excitement. “Do you think he’ll make it? Do you think the judge would grant him a temporary release just to attend a wedding?” “Don’t worry about it too much, Elena. We already talked, okay? They have bee

    ~One Year Later~ “Bababa!” Alice called out to James, who was busy eating Amelia out in the kitchen. “James… James… Alice has been calling on you for minutes. Won’t you go and see her?” Amelia’s voice was barely heard by James. He raised his head from between Amelia’s legs and looked at her face. His lips curved out a smirk slowly and he stood up. He kissed her lips so she could taste herself in his mouth. “Can’t you just take her to school already? She doesn’t let me get freaky the way I want.” He whispered a few inches away from her lips. Amelia chuckled and pulled him closer with her legs. “I already told you that I’m working on that. I don’t want her to go to school in Alabama. Let’s go somewhere far from here.” “To where exactly? You’ve been saying this for months and I keep asking you where we should go. Are you yet to figure it out?”“I told you to let me know when you can leave the business here and relocate. Have you found someone competent to look over things here?”

    Instead of heading straight to the house, Penelope went down to the station to see Hopper and Freddie. She couldn’t keep the news of Clara still being alive to herself. She got to the station and waited till it was time for the conjugal visit. When it was time, she asked to see Hopper first. She was taken to a private room so that they could talk. She was happy she didn’t have to stay behind the desk to talk to him this time around. She was going to finally touch him after a long time. After a few minutes, Hopper arrived. Immediately he stepped into the room, a smile lit up his face. He opened his arms and embraced her. She was also fully ready to embrace him. “How are you, I missed you so much.” Hopper said as he broke the hug. “I missed you so much too, Hopper.” She responded and that both sat. Penelope heaved a sigh and gulped hard as she sat. Hopper furrowed his brows and looked at her closely. He could sense something wasn’t right with her. “Penelope. What is it this tim

    “Oh please, do you think you can scare me with those words? What can you do to me, hun? All you can do is throw me into jail like you did to my husband, then I finally get to be with him. I’m not scared of you, James.” “That’s enough, Mom! I never knew she could be insensitive about this matter. You are clearly at fault and you’re still acting so strong. You’ll lose everything you’ve always wanted and the ones you had always had.” Elena uttered. Penelope clutched her jaws and looked away from Elena. Deep down, she never wanted it to play out so badly, but now it had to be like that, she wasn’t ever going to act weak in front of them. “I have always known that you miss your husband so much. But I never thought you’d go to the extent of going to jail just to be with him. Well, congratulations, your wish would be wholly granted.” James added. “No.” Amelia uttered after a long time of silence, and everyone looked at her. “Amelia…” “She won’t be going to jail. I won’t press charges a

    ~The Next Day~ After sedating Susan to stop her from overthinking about what Amelia told her, she got better and before she knew it, she was discharged. Only Amelia stood with her throughout her stay in the hospital. James couldn’t go home either because he couldn’t let her be all by herself. He wasn’t going to let anything happen to her again. ‘I have lost her once, and that would never respect itself anymore.’ He told himself. Susan was taken to James' house after he got discharged. She was driven home in his car. She asked that Amelia let her call Tonia and explain what was going on so that she wouldn’t get too worried about her. Tonia told her she would find a time to visit her before the end of the week. She also was eager to know more about Susan, since she never caught a glimpse of her past life when she was still with her. Getting to the mansion, before they entered the house at all, the aroma of roasted chicken filled their nostrils. James smiled faintly and looked at

    Throughout the impromptu ride to the hospital, Penelope was quiet and in shock. Elena kept asking her why she called that strange woman Clara, but she seemed too stunned to speak. They got to the nearest hospital shortly, and Susan was rushed into the emergency ward. They were all asked to wait outside for the doctor and nurses to do their work. Amelia seemed to be more worried than the others because she feared something bad must have happened to her. “She’ll be fine, Amelia.” James tried to console her. Amelia shook her head and exhaled pretty hard. “I asked her to come with me, and now this happens? What if something bad happens to her? She has a guardian. What should I tell her if she finds out?” She worriedly answered. James didn’t know what to do other than console her till they heard from the doctor what had really happened. He didn't know anything about her yet. “Come here.” He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. He patted her head slowly and planted a kiss

    “James?!” She called out, catching everyone unaware. The cops rushed out of their hiding places, and before Fred could realize what was going on, he was surrounded with cops who pointed their guns at him. “Your hands in the air!” They announced, and he raised his hands. James also proceeded out of his hiding spot and ran towards Amelia, who was also running to him happily with Alice in her arms. “Alice!” He called happily and opened his arms wide. Amelia ran into his arms, even though she was quite conscious about Alice that she carried in her arms. The first thing James did was carry Alice from her arms first and then embraced Amelia with his side. Alice took one side, Amelia took the other. “I have missed you so much, James.” Amelia mumbled and tears began to stream down her eyes. James shut his heated-up eyes pretty tight, and let his tears stream down freely. “I missed you so much too, Amelia. I thought I lost you.” He mumbled too. He opened his eyes after a few minutes an

    “She will be going home with us, Fred.” Amelia uttered and gave Susan a reassured nod. “What? Are you crazy? I can’t let a stranger go with us to the house. You know why I can’t.” He responded in anger. “Susan, can you please look after Alice for a few minutes? I need to talk to this man.” After giving the Walker to Susan, she walked up to Fred and exhaled softly as she started talking. “You abducted me, didn’t you? Not just me, but my child.” “Why are you saying this?” He answered almost immediately. “And since this happened, after I chose to be with you, have I ever bugged you or tried to run away? We sleep on the same bed, I know where you keep the keys to the door, so if I wanted to run I would have.” She took a pause and waited for him to say something else, but he didn’t. “If you can’t trust me, I see no reason why you want to be with me and my daughter. Can’t you just trust me the way I trust you? I left my daughter in your care, not the first time, but the second, becau

    Amelia, Fred and Alice got to the shopping mall shortly after a taxi dropped them off.“Here we are. Where do we start from?” Fred inquired. “We or I? Fred, you don’t have to go around looking for this woman for me. You don’t even know what she looks like. Just stick around with Alice. When I’m done, I’ll come to you. Please keep Alice safe. I trust you and that is why I’m letting you be with her.” Fred smiled widely and nodded. “You know how much I love you and Alice. I would never let anyone hurt you. We’d go around the mall, maybe to the Game Center. But please don’t stay too long. If you see or notice anything weird, call on me. I’ll come running.” Amelia divulged a soft smile and nodded too. She leaned closer to him and planted a soft kiss on his cheeks. “Thank you.” Amelia clutched her jaws slightly and turned to look. She looked around the mall and reminisced on where to start looking first. ‘The restroom.’ She thought and headed to the restroom. She often looked back at
