I walked in and made a terrible mistake.
"Good morning." I greeted the middle-aged woman whom I assumed to be Mama Tiv.
"Good morning o, what do you want to buy?" She smiled.
Mama Tiv was a light skinned beauty, age was definitely on her side with just a fine line on both of her cheeks and some crinkles at the side of her eyes.
"Okay ma." I assumed she knew me. "Rice, spaghetti, plantain, one fish and one meat ma." I said to her and she apportioned the various foods on my plate.
" This is it." She handed the wide ceramic plate to me. I collected it before getting seated on one of the plastic chairs and placing my food on the tarpaulin-covered table.
"Ma I want one fanta too." I requested and she handed it to me
I dug into my food and was done in no time. It was nice, it had the whole canteen essence to it and also reminded me of my previous home with
What was that?I could feel someone tugging at my wrist again and this time it was much worse, they were also trying to unfasten my jeans.I jolted awake from my sleep, surprise masked my face as I looked up at the person.I screamed my lungs out, kicking around fiercely as I tried to get him off me.I'm not weak…I kicked harder and swung my fist all around, with just one thought resounding in my mind.I'm not weak…"Get away, bastard!" My knight in shining armor bursts through the doors and instantly grabs the pressing iron at the corner of the room."Bastard!" He chanted as he hit him in the head multiple times before the victim bolted out of the house completely.I didn't realize I'd been sobbing."Yellow pawpaw, are you okay?" Scorpion settled beside me, checking on my welfare.
"Hey munchkin." Cas tapped me awake and I yawned as I opened my eyes to the world."Hi." I was weak."I made dinner and figured it was about time to wake you up." He said and I nodded.I trudged to the bathroom like a sleep-dazed zombie for a tinkle.I grabbed the spare toothbrush before applying toothpaste on it and I brushed my teeth. Cas' bathroom was definitely grand, it was bigger and dare I say, even more sophisticated than mine.Rinsing out the brush and my mouth, I loathed the already forming headache, I needed some paracetamol.I rinsed my face too and exited the beautiful bathroom.I'm coming for you, bigger jacuzzi."Munchkin, here's your food. I have to get down to my office, I need to attend to something." He said to me as he tapped furiously on his phone." Okay."" Stay safe baby, the tablet
"That's not equal!" I countered."Then let's get the housekeeper!" He replied defiantly."Nope! We're doing the work today." I refused."The house is huge." He groaned."We aren't doing the whole house na." I said and he urged me to go on."Our rooms are on us by default so I'd do the upstairs corridor and you'd do the downstairs corridor, I get the kitchen and dining area including the mini bar and you'd do the main living room and the porch." I explained to Cas and he didn't groan this time around.Progress."I got the patio ma." Zizi walked in and smiled at me."Zizi!" I attacked him with a hug, easily wrapping my legs around his waist, failing to notice Cas' expression."Hey there munchkin, how're you doing?""I'm fine." I bounced on my feet." Let's get cleaning." Zizi smiled.
The English exam was over about thirty minutes ago and the ss3 students were about to turn the whole school into a ruckus. We were having the sign out exercise on our school uniforms."Senior Attracta!" A few of my juniors squealed as they sighted me rushing towards me with markers in their hands."Let me sign for you." They crowded me like ants on sugar and I let them."My turn." Aisha and I exchanged signatures and so did James, Tj and I."Babes." Ella grinned as she sashayed towards me, a bounce in her step with a marker in hand.We walked together while she said all she had to about the happenings in my absence. Latest updates included how she and Tj got to spend a weekend with her parents and Nuel and all that happened."Are you coming for the after party?" Ella asked."Nope!" I replied point blank." I expected that." She shrugged it off
"Well, isn't this fancy." I commented as we walked into the club. That was the best word to explain it."Zizi should be here anytime soon." Cas was getting used to calling him Zizi."Hey guys." He hollered as he approached us."Munchkin is that you?" His mouth hung open." Zizi." I hugged him." Happy finals munchkin.""Thank you.""Hi." Ruby waved at him awkwardly."Hey." His voice took a calm, collected tone." I'm Aziel." He extended his hand for a shake."Ruby and can I call you Zizi?" She smirked, blushing slightly while Zizi chuckled.Chemistry."Can we go in or are you both just going to keep on with the googly eyes?" Cas teased.We got past security and into the main party itself, the room housed sweaty, buzzed teenagers and a lot of foreign n
Cas and Zizi weren't home but I couldn't shake off that feeling that I wasn't the only soul present in this house. It didn't feel right.I lazily dragged myself out of bed and I turned the keys, hearing the satisfying click of the door unlocking before turning the knob and standing in the corridor. It was about 6am.Not up here.I groaned slowly as I descended the stairs, being down here was a burst of fresh air even though I'd never admit it. I hadn't even had a bath in days, I just spent my time wallowing in sadness, crying and lately, pain-sketching.I looked in the kitchen, no one, living room, no one and other corridor too, no one.Till she walked through the doors."Good morning." She smiled."Who the hell are you and who the fuck are you looking for?""I'm looking for Casper." She read the name off the sticky note in her pos
It was Nuel."Hi...happy graduation." I said as plainly as I could, giving him a mean staredown."Same to you.""See you around champ.""Attracta wait!""Any problem?""Can I talk to you?""Not till pigs fly bruh!" I sassed, strutting away.Man was I loving this look.I winked at Cas a few metres away and he flashed his whites. I could see Ruby and Zizi and their googly eyes.I took a few pictures with friends and juniors too. My phone vibrated and I ignored it, my data connection was turned on the whole day, it was probably just reactions to the pictures I uploaded.It vibrated three more times in a row. I swiped to view the cause, they were four texts from Ella and I clicked immediately.Where are you, can you come to the old fine art studio?!
"Next up, Mahe Island!" Cas cheered as we boarded the small plane -or jet.There were only two crew members aboard with us, the pilot and the hostess. The aircraft was quaint and comfortable, it was my first time boarding one in quite a long time and the feeling was unexplainable.We got settled in and I took a window seat while Cas sat right opposite me, taking another window seat. The other seats at our side and the other side of the plane were empty."When would we eventually leave?""Right about now darling, I'm done with the call. I'd alert him." He explained to me before walking towards the pilot.A few minutes later, my seat belt was fastened and we were ready for takeoff. My heart thumped against my ribcage as I experienced the euphoria before the plane balance in the air.Cas moved to the seat by my side."Thank you." I put my head on his shoulder.
