Party

“Morning mum” he greeted and looked up to throw me a kiss. I gawked at him and looked away. He was fond of doing that knowing how gross I found it. “I would be tagging along mum. I want to see a friend in Louisiana” he chipped in obviously having heard our discourse

“Then you can go in your car Will, it's strictly a girls outing” I looked at my mum

“ Outing?”

She shrugged with the spatula in her hand “What else should I call it? After all, we are returning today”

“Mum I can't go with my car because it suddenly started acting up this morning when I tried to use it. Please mum I would drive if you want”

My mum’s face snapped to him with her eyes expanding. I giggled softly knowing no way in hell was she going to allow him to drive us not when he drives like the devil

“Fine” he raised his hands “I would sit at the back. You won't need to see me I promise. By the way, I need to pick up a werewolf book from the library there please mum”

“When will you stop deluding yourself with such books?” I asked out of disbelief my hands flying around my chest

He glared at me “ You think I delude myself? Wait until you meet a werewolf” he instigated and just as I wanted to refute his claim, he turned and sashayed out of the kitchen just the way he had come in

I hated when he made such assertions because I don't believe in such. My mind went to the dreams that haunt my sleep every night. Most nights I see this man with slicked black hair and sea-green eyes with his build like that of a God. He would smile down at me and just as he would be about to tell me something, I would be snatched out of the world to my reality. And in these cases when I wake up, I always had this deep feeling that I knew him somehow but I can't pinpoint why because am certain I have never met such a person all my life.

On the other hand, I would dream of another man who had these long fangs protruding from his mouth after making life threats at me and just when he would about to sink his claws on my neck, I would scream and wake up from my sleep.

I think it's because of William and all his false imaginations.

They are beginning to get to me.

” Tighten your seat belts,” mum said for the hundredth time like she was talking to some bunch of kids. I could tell that William would keep rolling his bulgy sapphire eyes as he does each time our parents gave us baby orders.

“Williams” she drawled her eyes pinned to the rear mirror to catch the miscreant not following her orders “And don't you dare roll your eyes at me, young man”

“ Mum am I going to come back complete today?” He queried resulting in my whirling around to look at his sucking face.

“Big baby” I teased him. He glared at me

“Mum” he whined

“Kimberly” mum called and I looked forward with a pout. Mum always took his side since he was her favourite while I was dad. I folded my hands around my chest and bit down on my lower lip. I hated this trip with everything in me and I hope it wouldn't happen. I just hope I could stop it

Just as mum is about to pull out of our garage, her phone started ringing in the safe. She stopped and checked the caller my eyes following hers

It was our aunt from Louisiana the one we were on our way to visit. Mum picked up

“What!” she squealed her eyes sorting mine

My eyes were on hers in askance. Her face was looking weary like something was wrong. I sat up straight on the sit waiting for her to finish and tell us what the problem was

She soon finished and cut the call with her face scrunched. She exhaled, her hands still on the stirring but not making any move to drive out

“Mum, what is the problem?” I finally asked, my patience waning out

“Your aunt said there was an attack somewhere around the beach. So the road has been blocked off” she bit into her lower lip and bunched into her seat

“Attack? How? What kind of attack?” I wondered out loud. My mom shook her head but didn't say anything for awhile

“She didn't say. She was still in shock but I will call her later to confirm. Sorry guys it seems we will have to reschedule” she ached. I didn't like the tone of her voice and the look on her face but I held my peace and quietly exit the car

“I knew one day the werewolf and vampires will come onboard” William jecked

“ William!” I cried out and banged the car door unconsciously before running off when I saw the hard glare on mums face.

I am surely going to have Williams's head

Running into my room, not having what else to do I sat in front of my makeshift table in my room and opened the latest novel I was reading and started going through it. The buzz of my phone got my attention and my face widened with a smile when I saw who was calling

“I miss you so extensively you don't know how much” I bickered once I picked

“I know. What would your life be like without a hot ass like me?. Well, guess what?” rambled Cassy excitedly

“What?” I asked hopefully wishing it's what am thinking.

“Am on my way to town! In fact, I just drove into Chicago right now. Can we meet at Frisbee?”

“Yes! Yes!” I danced about on my seat “I'm on my way” I jumped off the seat and ran to my wardrobe to change into something more presentable.

Cassandra was a hot ass just as she quipped. Her dad was the C.E.O of Lenox one of the top leading competitors in automobiles in the United States. So she had lots of cash to throw around. Most of my hot clothes, she got them for me. According to her, she wouldn't allow me to go out with her looking like a bereaved aged woman.

I patted some compact powder into my face to complement it with a nude lip gloss. I had natural white skin and plump lips so I usually went on something light to pop my already buttery skin.
