I saw Mara walking out from the direction where my mum's room was and I quickly hid , I did not want her to see me, so she or I don't follow the other around and ruin each others plans if you get what I'm saying.
I did not want her to ruin my plan so....
When she went through the garden door . I said Shit, she could not see the bench from the pass way. So the chances of them seeing each other was 1% which was very low so I was not bothered. I quietly followed behind her .
Shit she went straight into the garden. Did they have plans to meet up back here. My eyes almost watered with hurt.
I thought this was our place Mr Angry Rude very much Cheating Face. I was not going to turn back and allow curiosity kill the cat.
Yes I was the cat and I was not going to die tonight. Or however the wise words were said I am really confused with it all but the key point
Key point: not going to allow curiosity kill the cat.
I quietly followed behind her then I heard Mr Very Much Cheating Cheating face ask
" Mara is that you?" Whattt what was going on, he really was expecting her. This two scoundrels , I was going to get back at them. Maybe they came here to mock me and laugh at my foolishness. Jeez I was already feeling humiliated.
I followed deeper and went to the opposite side where I knew I could not be seen , and I also had a good view and good hearing distance. I was just watching them. And from the way things things looked so far it was coincidental.
Or could it be that they knew I was here and were pulling a prank on me. Na I doubt that. Mara was looking upset already and I had started feeling guilty for doubting them. She seemed like she was going through a lot and I felt bad.
My blood pressure spiked up when he mentioned he was also in a bad mood and offered to go out for ice cream .
What!!!!
Was he aware that I was also upset.
Hello here!!!
Nobody is offering to buy me ice cream.
I would not deny it, I was hurt and upset. I mean didn't I mean something to him.
Or am I just a joke over here. I waited for them to be out of sight before and went in and quietly crawled into my blanket.
I want to be a strong girl and I want to pretend like I did not care about their Ice cream date and night movement. I mean everything sounded romantic and lovely, and it was just so heart breaking for me because I was not part of it.
And I was the cause of all of it, I pushed him into her hands. I wanted to cry. This is not how I envisioned my post kiss to be like.
I wanted it to be rosey and chocolatey, losts of texting and flirting and things that average teens do with the boys they kiss.
I am scarreddd
Seriously though I am scarred for life.
I tried not to make a big deal out of it.
Bish used to tell me I will have a heart attack if I do not stop over thinking things.
So I counted 1-10 ,I tried to calm myself down but it was not working, nothing was working over here.
I closed my eyes and tried to force myself to sleep but it was not working either. I really needed to know what was going on. That was my nature ,I loved getting to know details of everything. And I had to do it this time around.
I waited patiently for Nick to come out of his room so I could follow him and know more about what was going on between them.
Finally I heard him come out of the room. I opened my door silently and tiptoed behind. I was not wearing any shoes so I would not make any sound and get caught.
I was watching from the corner, apparently Mara was nowhere in the house. I was hoping he would give up, go up knock on my door and invite me instead to go out with him. But instead he was walking towards our side of the house he was headed straight to the maids quarters.
Wow!!!
I wish I had popcorn
This was really very romantic
Too bad I was the villain in their story.
He strolled confidently towards her quarters just to take her out.
To SPEND his own MONEY on HER.
HER NOT ME.
HEART BREAKING.
But I decided I was not going to be jealous, I was going to suck it up and be happy for them.
I realized that spying on them was not good for my health.
Ok it was also not a good habit.
Phew I was getting better at admitting my fault at least we were getting somewhere.
I sighed sadly, as I went into the kitchen. I eyed the wine glasses stocked there. I actually needed to drink wine with all the heart break I was experiencing.
With everything that had happened to me, I needed something soothing to roll on my tongue.
Something that was not Mr Angry Rude Cheating leaving me behind heart shattering Face. He had a lot of names now. It was getting harder to keep up.
And really I needed to move on. I really needed to put all this behind me.
I opened the fridge and turned milk into a glass. I drank it and headed up to my room. No more show for me to watch.
I went to room and listened to music as I tried to dance my sorrows away.
I played Assurance by Nigeria's one and Only Davido.
"You're the one I want oh
Before my liver start to fail
You're the one I need oh
Before cassava start to hail
And if I ever leave oh
Make water carry me dey go
Far away, far away"
I danced to the lyrics as I sang along, my voice sang higher when it came to the chorus
"She say give me assurance
Assurance
I give my baby assurance
I give my baby lifetime insurance
Assurance, assurance
I give my baby assurance
I give my baby lifetime insurance
Biggie biggie
Heavy heavy (Chei)
Baby do you want me?
Haba"
I almost screamed louder to express my pain, I knew I was being being dramatic but please. Give me a break. I just watched the first guy I kiss take another girl on an Ice Cream Date right after we fought because of the girl.
I put the song on repeat, until I got tired and I could not stand to hear it again, then I played Nights like this by Kehlani ft Ty Dollar Sign.
"You act like you need remindin'
Try na do it over, bring it back and rewind it
But all that glitters isn't gold, I was blinded
Should have never gave you my heart on consignment
And I can't believe the lies that I went for
Thought you was mine, but you decided to be with him though
You took my feelings and just threw 'em out the window
Feel like it's too hard to fall in love again, no"
I was near tears, I was starting to believe that she sang the song because of me. It hit so hard.
Like the feeling of a Koboko(Cane) against your back on a cold night. It usually hits different then. The pain usually ran deep. You could feel it all over even though it was only your ass that was getting whooped.
I finally gave up on listening to the heart break songs because I realised that I was over reacting.
I just had to over react and I was over trying to be calm about the situation because I could not.
I wished I did not come up and spied on them more closely and I got a better idea of what exactly was going on.
And I did exactly what a typical Malem would do. I went back down to see what was going on. To bad I went when it was too late. I had seen the car exiting towards the gate. And I felt nothing but raw jealousy and envy I wished I was Mara. I have never cared about a guys attention, although I got a lot in my previous school but I knew really cared. I had a lot of friends around me so somehow I never cared enough to notice any guy aside from my best friend Bish ,who I now see as a brother. Yes He was in the Bro Zone. And I think he enjoyed it because he had extra privileges . Putting that aside, I headed back to kitchen and checked for snacks and anything edible that did not involve cooking or warming. They had a lot of junks in the house. So finding all of that was not a problem. I went to the library, Thank g
Malem's POV We just landed and my first plane experience was anything but exciting, I peed my pants ,I almost threw up, but praise be to Heavens I survived, I am a survivor, I fought and came out alive . Okay maybe I am exaggerating my experience but believe me when I say it was scary. But it eventually became interesting, we received VIP treatment and I learned it was because we were flying FIRST FUCKING CLASS,forgive my cursing but this man must be rich for us to be given such special treatment. I was treated like a queen and of course I explored my taste buds as I drank and tasted different wines and much to my Mother's displease , but I didn't care I didn't know when next I'd be getting this experience and I was going to live now, soon I knocked out and woke up when we had landed, we got out and we had someone waiting for us out front. He loaded our clothes into
Malem’s POV " See the nonsense that is already coming out of your mouth, I will talk to Mr Down about your transfer and from there we will enrol you and get you book to read ahead of the school session, Malem I am tired , we will continue this discussion when the time comes but better take heed to my words" before I could respond the maid from earlier knocked on the door and told me to follow her, I excused myself and followed behind her, I used the opportunity to admire the house, whoever this man was he had to be a billionaire, I started taking note of the way to my room, it was on the extreme end of the pathway, it looked empty and lonely with light in the pathway as guide, we finally got to my room and my eye balls literally fell out and rolled on the floor, the room was beyond amazing it's was beautiful, it had a plain white and deep grey painting which had a royal touch to it, the bed was queen size with purple beddings , there was a large screen TV oppo
"Hope you two did not do what I think you both did in my bathroom" I said in a semi annoyed toneHope they did not do the marital deed in my bathroom, one thing would not happen if they did and that would be forgiveness!!!!!! They have stained the purity of my house. I feel like howling out load in disgust. I would have to scrub my bathroom later."Well maybe we did" she said in a low mischievous tone.Before I could understand what she meant and respond she walked far ahead of me and went to talk to Madam Joan.I did not want to be rude so I did not bother moving towards them so I did not eaves drop on them.A while later she came back."Do you know the hardest part of today is lieing to Madam Joan about not knowing where Michael is" she sighed out"Yeah, but it is better for her not
Michael's POVI was still fuming , why would my Dad bring me here, It's not that I didn't like it, but this place was flooded with memories of my Late Mother and it hurt so much staying here. So I have decided to hate it.I was pretty sure my Dad just wanted to dumb me here so he could go on and make money, that's all his good at after all.I did not say much on our flight here because, we were with some of the workers and I didn't want to cause a scene before he decided he didn't want a son. Deciding to send me away was more than enough scar.I headed down to tell my Father, I will not stay here and I will be leaving this house tomorrow.As I headed down, I saw my Dad talking to an Elderly woman and her Daughter, my guess, there was a little resemblance.The gir
Malem's POVI woke up early as I usually do at home, I made my bath and quickly made my way down to meet my mum and know what to do next."I knocked on my mums door before entering and she was also well dressed and sitted on her table was probably waiting for Mr Down to come down and she could start her job." Good Morning Mum" I said Chirpy as I sat on the bed" Morning Dear, Hope you were able to sleep well", she asked as she kissed my head" Yes Mum I did , the bed is so comfy" I smiled as I replied. She smiled and nodded." Take me up to see your room so I can keep an eye on you better" she said seriously and I was tempted to roll my eyes at her..." Okay Mum, let's go up" I said as I stood up and adjusted my skirt.On way out of the room the room we met Mr Gary Dow
Michael's POVAfter having a cordial lunch with the family. I headed back to the garden.No one really knew this, but this was my favorite place, it made me calm and happy. And most importantly it reminded me of my mother. She loved this place a lot. She spent a lot of time here and she even thought me how to make and care for a flower bed.I noticed that ever since we left here nobody tended to the garden and there was so much grass that had sprouted out. And I wanted this place cleaned up. It would have been easier to tell the men to come do it, but I knew the job would not be satisfactory, so instead I went to the store in garden and brought out the tools I was going to do it by myself.I sat on the bench once more taking in the Air and enjoying the environment, I closed my eye and leaned back and allowed thoughts of a certain girl fill my mind , I
" No way mum I already told you that I was not going to attend any function of his, he can go and take a puppy to his function not me" I replied rudely as I continued typing on my system." come on please, I had it custom made for you and I know your custom made clothes are usually your favorite you will love this one" she insisted nicely, which got me more upset, why didn't she understand that I did not want to go. I broke the wine bottle beside me and screamed, then my mum rushed outside to see me and make sure I was okay" what will it take for you to go away, I said no already i am not going for the party so why do keep asking, I will shred those clothes until they become rags, just leave" i shouted at her and she flinched in fear, her gaze dropped to the piece of broken glass on my hand, then she looked up at me, her eyes filled with tears because I always broke her heart and most times she was forced to understand
And I did exactly what a typical Malem would do. I went back down to see what was going on. To bad I went when it was too late. I had seen the car exiting towards the gate.

*****When all our snacks were finished, we headed back to the mansion.I escorted her back to her quarters then I walked up to my room.I was about to turn the knob to enter my room when I heard a sob.I pressed my ear to the Malem's door and there I realized that the sobbing came from her room.A lot of questions flooded my mindWhat made Malem cry she did not seem like the sobbing type.Malem's POVFew Minutes After Michael went down to the garden..............So I was feeling guilty about what had happened with Mr Angry Rude cheating Face. Yes we are back to calling him that.I am even considering adding Tolerant to the list but that will be so crazy and obnoxious.And a lot of crazy things had already happened and I was not ready to be part of any more craziness.
She quietly peeped to be sure that no one saw her. Then she placed a finger on her lip to signify that I remained silent. Then she stepped out and closed the door behind her. Then she gently pulled me away from the building and towards the mansion. Then she released my hand when we had gotten far enough and she turned to face me." What were you thinking" she asked me eyes opened wide like she had seen a ghost." I was coming to get you, what else would I be thinking?" I asked her as I raised a brow at her" You are not supposed to be there, what if someone saw you, do you know how much trouble I would be in. I could even lose my job" she explained the implications of my actions." Well if you came out early, all that would have not happened" I said carefully, picking my words wisely I did not want any party to get more upset and ruin our nights even further." I wa
Or could I blame Malem for not being understanding enough. She was there she saw what happened, Mara took us both by surprise. So why was she mad. She more than anyone else was meant to understand that situation. Why was she mad at me for it. She was meant to be mad at Mara .And besides fighting with the girl over the guy was more of a thing than talking to the guy about it.Or maybe I could simply blame sweet Madam Joan for the whole damn situation. If she spent a bit more time in the market or at the store any one they went to. Or maybe she could have made her upset so she would have gone straight to her room instead of pestering us.Or maybe I should blame fate, everything happened according to fate. If mum never died, I would have never gotten worst, I would have never gotten into fights, I would have been managing my stay with Dad and he would have never gotten fed u
Michael's POV"Fuck you, you know you wanted to kiss me, you were just too much of a pussy to make a move" she said rudely angrily and worst insensibly.I mean I knew I was a jerk for what I said but she could be too much to handle a lot of times. And I just had to play that card.I was still in shock at her behavior and I just stared at her in shock.Ok I will not over exaggerate it, I looked at her like she was a crazy person. She was actually crazy.One moment she was sweet and teasing and so sexy , and the next she was pushy annoying and so controlling. Ok she was not so controlling but she was very very pushy.I was still standing looking at her in awe, unsure of what to say, that is if I was meant to say anything at all considering the bad mood she was in and I did not want to say anything that would make
Malem's POVTo make things easier for him to confess . I started hinting for specifically at what I was referring to." So about the garden" I said more bluntly as I eyed him ,daring him to play dumb." yeah about that, I am really sorry about the kiss" he finally spoke up sounding unsure of his words.My eye widened at his words and I was in shock"_You are apologizing about our kiss" I asked him as I tried to keep a neutral face on, I did not want to look hurt"Isn't that what you wanted" he asked confused."Did I say that I wanted an apology about our kiss" I asked as I squinted my eyes at him waiting for the lie to come out of his mouth."Well you have been hinting at it since we got into the room" he replied in monotone."Then you got it all wr
Malem's POVI acted like I did not care about what she said. I acted like I was more concerned about the bottle of water I was drinking. I waited until she had gone far. Then I carefully walked towards the visitor's end of the mansion where my mum's room was located.I removed my shoes and held them in my hand as I was close to the room. So I would not make a sound. I tiptoed to the door and placed my ear on the door." Are you sure you left her in the kitchen" I heard my mum ask" yes Ma'am, she was drinking water in the kitchen before I left" she confirmed, if only they knew my ear was hear pressed to the door."Okay Good because my daughter can be very nosey" she said seriously. Then I heard Mara chuckling weirdly.I frowned my face and placed a hand over my chest " So rude mum" I whispered in annoyance.
