" 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
" what will it take from you to be polite Michael," she said then she paused to wipe a tear that had escaped her eyes before she continued
"
why can't you talk nicely to me, when all I ever try to do is love you and be here for you and I always try to understand you, but you do not always make it easy for me and believe when I tell you this it is very hard" she did not give me a chance to talk or apologize, she walked out of my room and dropped the suit on my bed.Of course I knew she was daring me to shred it to pieces, of course every part of me was tempted to shred it but I had to control myself if I wanted to make my mum happy.
So I picked up the suit and stared at it for a while, it was truly as fine as she said it was. It also looked very expensive. I guess I had no other choice than to stand out on the day of the party.
I hung it in my wardrobe, and quickly went to work on my laptop and round up the assignment. I wanted to go and talk to my mum and even explain something to her so she would forgive me, but I was also upset too and I did not want to worsen things between us, she was my best friend and I did not like the pang of guilt that was hanging on my chest.
I dressed up and headed down for dinner, I was going to use the opportunity to talk to her and apologize to her for my behavior. I wanted to make it easier for her and not make her cry. I knew she sacrificed a lot for me and dropped a lot of things just so she could stay back and take better care of me.
But she did not come down for dinner, I ate alone since my Dad was on another one of his trips again. I went up to my room and saw that the patio was cleaned up ,there were no more broken glasses there. I quickly went down and asked if they had sent dinner up for my mum and I was informed she was not hungry.
I quickly made her a plate and also place a small bucket of ice cream and two spoons beside it so we could talk it out and maybe she would let me sleep in her room tonight.
I went up to her room and I saw her sitting on the floor with a box before her, containing my childhood pictures, I fed her dinner, just the way she fed me when I was younger and we gisted and shared the bucket of ice cream together. Of course she shooed me off to my room but as I stood up to leave I waited to tell her something
" it would take a lot for me to be polite whenever it involved Dad but i am going to try, I am willing to try for you. I am sorry for lashing out at you mum, I will try harder mum I promise" I said in remorse
" I know you are trying, I don't know what your dad might have done to you, but you have to keep trying okay and not for him but for yourself, I love you so much my bunny" she said as she stood up and squeezed both of my cheeks and pulled me in for a bear hug
I left her room happy, because she loved me and cared for me unconditionally.
End of flash back
After that I promised to keep trying not because of my Dad but for myself. I will try to be more respectful and polite to both her mum and my dad even when it was going to be hard.
I did not particularly have anything against Ms Martin but I generally had an issue with all the Nurses my Dad brought to care for me ever since my mum passed away.
They always had pity for me in their eyes which irritated me a lot. They did not know me well so they always tended to do something to trigger me. Most of then messed up my medication a lot. They did not care about doing their job well they only cared about the large pay that came along with caring for the Billionaire's Son.
And I had a feeling that this nurse will not be any different from any one of the rest. I just needed to frustrate her enough into showing her true self. But Africa was a very far place to travel back to but I did not care. The first mistake she made was to accept this job in the first place.
Or maybe just maybe I would be nice to her so she could keep her pretty daughter around for a bit longer. She seemed like a pretty nice company, too bad we already got off on the wrong foot. Maybe I needed to apologize and show her that I was not a bad person.
Although it was very hard for me to do, I decided I was going to invite her to join me as I brought the garden back to life, maybe from there we would find a mutual footing and start up from there.
I went up to my wing of the room and paused at her door as I tried to decide whether I was making the right choice or not. If mum was here she would have encouraged me to make more friends. I took in a deep breathe and gently knocked on her door.
Malem's POVI heard a knock on the door, I went out to check but there was no one. I guess it was my boredom that was getting the best out of me.I went back and laid on ny bed. I groaned loudly , not in agony or pain or anger. But sheer boredom.I allowed my mind to drift, I was so worried about my new life here. Making friends, being the new kid and all, I hated being the new kid. I hope I did not do anything to cast and become a laughing stock.Translations:Cast: it means to disgrace one's selfLaughing stock: someone that every one mocks.I was yet to talk to Mum about getting a new Sim, or maybe I should just ask Mr rude face about it. He seemed to be in a better mood ever since our conversation in the garden.I needed to talk to Bisandu

Malem's POVI opened the phone and stared at my phone with love. I was still in my love cloud when I heard a knock on my door.I climbed out of my bed, straightened my gown and went to check the door.It was Mr Angry Rude Face standing on the other side of the door. Yes I added angry to his Nick name. He seems to be angry everytime, all the encounters I have had with him, he was either angry or rude, so why not call him Mr Angry Rude Face.I did wondered what he was doing by my Door, was he mistaken or something." Ehm Good Afternoon" I said weirdly and almost too nervously" Hey" he said as he scratched the back of his hand.Is big bad wolf shy and nervous. Uhh la la." Hi" I replied with a smile." I came to apologize for earlier and also the incident in my roo
Michael's POVI was sitting in the Garden patiently waiting for Miss Snoopy Controller to come down. I waited alone as I looked at the garden and recalled memories of the things she had thought me.I texted Madam Joan to help keep Mara busy. She was a little bit bossy and it was annoying the hell out of me. I was struggling to hold it together. I did not think I was going to be able to get it together, and I was just going to ruin everything when all I wanted to do is just apologize and make friends with the pretty lady.As I waited I brought out the tools I was going to use, I was not planning on doing everything, just basically trim them and water it, I had already asked someone to weed it out before hand so from there I would take on the rest of the managing routine, until it was back to its former glory.I was already excited about it.
I connected the pipes to the tap and allowed water to flow from the taps. And we started watering the plants.She mistakenly poured water on me , then I turned to look at her with a semi frown on my face" Oops, sorry, it was a mistake, I did not mean to" she said mischievously as she faced the other side and watered the plants.So little Miss Snoopy controlling pants is also a mischievous one huh. I smirked at the knowledge of that. I have always liked me a pretty mischievous lady."_ok It's fine, no problem"I said curtly as I turned to my side, she kept turning to look at me, I am pretty sure she was guilty and checking to be sure I did not return the favour.So I returned the favour. But of course not immediately, I waited until her guards were down and she was convinced I would not revenge before I executed my revenge.&
" hey " I said to mara as soon as I saw her" Nice work you guys did here, I'm sure you did most of it you strong guy" she complimented, and spoilt it with her latter words. I refrained from rolling my eyes are her" Yeah, Thank you" i said politely, " actually Nene equally put in a lot of effort and she even gave me extra tips on gardening" I said as I gave Malem back them glory." yeah I'm sure she did" she said dismissively. As I led her into the garden where Malem was."_How was the grocery shopping" Malem asked politely" It was actually more interesting than I thought, she let me pick stuff myself , can you believe it, she is just a very nice woman" mara replied excitedly" That's cool so did you bring any Saraba for us" she askedAnd both Mara and I frowned our faces an
Malem's POV I headed to my room immediately after I saw Mara peck Mr Angry Rude Cheating Face. Ok maybe just maybe!! I am exaggerating the Cheating part but seriously. He could not push her away or something. Guy you just kissed me like Five Minutes ago why are you allowing her take advantage of the moment. But didn't I also take advantage of the moment?, did all the girls he saved from something take advantage of the money. Arghhhh!!!! Why am I over thinking, should I even be over thinking this. Am I paranoid? Or is my reaction ringing clingy. This is my first Kiss so pardon me if I am over reacting. This is not the Holly Wood scenerio I hoped for. Shit I have never felt this before. What was this weird warmth I feel in my stomach. Could it be the Butterflies I read of in
It felt so refreshing, I could help it as I allowed my mind to drift once more to what had happened between Michael and I. That kiss, my first kiss. It was actually better than I imagined.If I knew that kissing felt so good I would have been kissing since I don't know the 19's. Or early two thousand , the 19's still felt like things were black and white in the world. And when it came to 2000, colour came to the world. Of course I can't say this outside but ....I quickly dried my body and changed into a presentable dress . it would soon be time for dinner. I was starving. Arggghhh.I picked up my phone and called my best friend , Bish. It kept ringing and he had not picked up, knowing him he was probably dancing and singing along to his ring tone.I rolled my eyes at that possible thought. I had already given up on him picking. And va ga boom here he is present and picking up his phone
