We all rushed out of the house and got into the car we had driven here from aunt Amber's house.
"Daddy, no!" Maya screamed as she stood between her dad and the car. "If you want them out then I'm equally going with them."
The father's eyes widened and I buckled my seat belt immediately, I didn't want to die before my time or before my kid was born.
"You'll do no such thing or I'll disown you!" The father thundered and mother zoomed off.
"Cameron!" Maya exclaimed, trying to run after the car, but the house help who had served us glasses of non-alcoholic whine encircled her waist with his hands and prevented her from following us. She struggled to free herself from his grip, but it was of no use. He was definitely stronger than her.
How dare he touch my wife in such a manner? A vein popped out on the side of my head and I tried to shake the jealousy off. She was pregnant and nobody would be able to steal her away from me. The love she had for
Yesterday night was good, thanks to my sister who managed to brighten up my mood. I stood in front of a mirror, adjusting the collar of my denim shirt. I was good to go over to Maya's house again.Mother said she and Maya's mother had spoken yesterday and agreed to meet again today without the husband's knowledge. He had embarked on a journey today to come back tomorrow so it was an opportunity to meet up and talk about what was going on.I was done so I walked out of my room and climbed up the stairs, glancing around like it was my first time of coming here. There were numerous pictures and flower vssez that decorated the hall. One picture had aunt Amber holding up a sunflower with a smile on her face. The smile appeared to be a very genuine one.Mr Coleman was right behind her with his hands around her waist as if to say, "this property belongs to me."The faces changed and it was that of me and Maya. I shook my head and slapped my head nume
The aroma of food wafted into my nose and I resisted the urge to drool in front of Mrs Wilson. Maya had a striking resemblance with her mother and I must say I wanted my daughter to be the replica of Maya.Maya's mom excised herself to go bring her daughter and we were left in the sitting room alone, once again. I gestured for Jade to come closer to me, but she averted her gaze and pretended not to have seen me.I moved closer then tugged at her cloth. "C'mon, I'm sorry. I mean it this time.""On one condition," she said holding out her index finger. I arched my brows for her to go on. "You'd fix my screen for me.""Why don't you tell your father?" I asked, propping my chin on my palm. "Aren't you daddy's girl any more or is he now too occupied with Hailey and Lola?"I noticed how Jade's expression changed from hundred to zero at the mention of Lola or was she jealous father was spending a lot of time with work and Hailey?"Fathe
The last two days without Maya was boring. The day before yesterday, we went to meet and talk to her mother and it went pretty well. At least, I got to see my girl and her mother had promised to talk to her husband so he could tone down his anger.I had just gotten back from my morning jog and was on my way to see aunt Amber. She hadn't been really well and that was the reason she had sent a driver to pick us up from the airport.I knocked on her door and heard a soft come in from aunt Amber and I wouldn't lie, but she sounded like somebody that was dying.I pushed the door slowly and poked my head into the small hole, scanning the dark room for my aunt. My eyes made up a shape on the bed with her back against the door. She was covered under a duvet and she sniffled every once in a while."Flip to the flops?" She said in askance and I cleared my throat before saying, "No, it's Cam.""Oh." She sat up and blew her nose into a tissue paper
I picked myself up and felt like my head was being drilled with a nail and hammer. I held my head and winced, feeling a little dizzy. There was still soap all over my body and I needed to rinse off.I took gentle steps to the bathroom and rinsed under the shower. After that, I put on my slippers and walked out of the bathroom with the feeling that I'd still fall and this time around, I might slam my head on the sink.In order not to waste time, I put on a big, black shirt and black joggers with purple lines on the sides of the leg. I didn't bother applying cream, I needed to be there on time.My feet took me the fastest they could to the door. Opening the door, my baby sister who was about to knock on my door knocked on my chest instead and she laughed."I was just about to tell you I'm going shopping with Amber." She mused and I wind passed her, my legs touching the back of my head as I ran. They did not really touch the back of my head. "Whe
The rum rum was looking old, rough and not a place where a girl was meant to be. I had just told the cab to take me to rum rum and he didn't object or sound like he didn't know the place.After begging the driver to wait so he could take us back, I got down from the car and leaned my back on it, searching the whole area with my eyes for my sister.Jade was meant to be somewhere around here, but she wasn't so I brought out my phone and dialled her number. She took the call, sounding like she was shivering from a cold."Where are you?" I questioned and I heard shuffling sounds from her side of the phone."Been hiding in a big bush so a guy wouldn't see me and be pushed by the devil to do things that I would regret for the rest of my life," I whispered, while looking around like a thief."Can you come down to the rum rum place?" I held the phone to my ear and observed the place that was slowly becoming wild. I attended parties, yes. But t
I lifted her and whirled with her body still glued to mine in the air and giggles flew out of her mouth. It had been a really long time since we spent quality time with each other and I really missed her.This felt like some love Cinderella-No, Rapunzel's story where she never really had the time to spend with people because she was always locked up in a castle, away from humans and the one she loved."Cam-Cam, you're h-hugging me too tight." Maya stammered and stuttered then my eyes popped open.I released her and she went over to Jade, our mother and Amber to say hi. She walked back to my side and held my hand. With that, we walked into the room and was seated on the couch, waiting for her parents to show up.The sound of a door closing shut from the top floor made Jade jerk and I cleared my throat, getting ready for whatever her father was going to throw at me. It was clear he didn't like even a string of hair on my body.
He raised the shirt in the air so we could see just how much the fanta had stained his cloth. The stain was similar to the map of a country and it needed to be soaked in detergent immediately and properly scrubbed."Here," he threw the shirt on my bed and walked out with only a black vest and blue jeans. "I want you to wash it and make it spotless."I stared at the place the fanta had poured on for a long time before taking a look at his face and zipping my mouth. I refrained from saying what was at the tip of my tongue.I vaguely wondered if they didn't have any washing machine in a house this big and fancy. I reluctantly went out to the tap just like he had instructed and a maid brought a bucket to me as sent by Maya's dad.I tore open the mouth of the detergent and downed some contents into the washing basin before turning the tap open and turning it back off when I had gotten enough amount for soaking the clothes.I soak
"Cameron!" The father yelled and I pulled it of Maya with bug eyes. We both popped our eyes open and looked at each other with fear in our eyes.Instantly, I stood up from the bed and ushered Maya into the bathroom before rushing back out to spray some airwick in the air. I instantly wore my pants then smelt myself before I wore a flat look and went over to the door. I pulled it open and scratched my hair like someone that was confused about what to do with his life."Cam-" he hesitated when he had seen me leaning by the doorway. "Been calling you for like ages. Where did you keep your ears, man?""Sorry, I was asleep." I tried to soun husky. He shoved me a little out of the door way and got into my room.He took a quick scan of the room and his gaze fell on me when he was done with whatever he was doing."Why is there so much airwick in here." He waved his hands as if he was fanning dust away from his face and he coughed a little with a puc
