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
He clapped his hands, giving me a round of applause and tucked in the sides of his mouth."If it isn't the queen of England." He announced with humor in his eyes. "Do you need us to roll a red carpet on the floor for you?" He asked sarcastically and I chewed the insides of my cheeks. This man was just unbelievable. I couldn't put up with his shit.I stood with my hands behind my back and waited for him to stop his shenanigans so we could go for the morning jog and make it back home on time."Let's leave, CeCe." He gestured his hands for us to run, but I looked behind me, wondering who the hell he was referring to as some CeCe. "You heard me Cameron, your new name is CeCe.""How about I make your new name ass hole?" I mumbled as I shoved my hands into the pocket of my joggers and he turned swiftly."What did you say?" He inquired, halting halfway out of the entrance door and I lied saying, "I sa
I went down to the maid quarters and knocked on the door, waiting patiently for the maid... Was she Nancy or what was her name again? I couldn't remember.The door swung open and a maid with chocolate colored skin stood by the door way. Her eyes were grey just like Jade's, but prettier. Her hair was covered with a black maiden's cap and I could only see her front hair, which was curly. Her eye brows were funnily shaped, but her long lashes complimented her face and I must say, she was very beautiful."Hello?" She smiled and I could have sworn my heart walked out of my chest and threw cat wheels. "Can I help you?""W-well, I'm here to see uhm... What's her name again? She told me Maya's dad wanted to see me, but needed me to do something first." I stuttered then she opened the door so I could see her."Emily!" The maid I was used to exclaimed and the chocolate skinned girl laughed then closed the door so
