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 the back of his luxurious looking car and we drove off in the luxurious car, yes I cannot emphasize enough how luxurious the car was, the windows were tinted and inside the car was neat , it also scented expensive and the seats were leather , and comfortable.
Soon we got to the house were we would be working, yes I said we, over time I learnt little things I saw my mum do and whenever it was private like this I usually helped out although she did not like it, I knew she needed my assistance. And wait wait wait, did I say house, this was far from being a house it was a Mansion, it was very huge and beautiful, they were about 3 or more little buildings around, It was really huge and I could not wait to explore every corner of it. My mouth was left ajar staring round and admiring my surrounding, From the front of the house the gate was pretty far from it, but the was a detailed trail of properly treated grasses on either side leading to the house and tall trees on each side, before getting to house, there was a bungalow on the rear left , which had cars packed in front of and I also noticed some men in suit around it, some where not in suit tho, but I assumed it was where the security guards stayed , there was another building beside the house but it was open and it had swings surrounding it, which I will also assume is for thw little boy my mum will be caring for. My observation was interrupted by my mom.
" Are you coming in or will you keep standing there" she said in an annoyed tone, I nodded at her and started walking towards her. I turned and noticed our luggage was already inside and I did not notice.
" And close your mouth will you, you don't want a fly finding its way in there now" she continued as she turned walking into the house. And I followed behind her quickly.
We stepped into the house and I was blown away the house looked so expensive everything was well detailed, I did not have time to properly admire the house as a man came walking down the stairs and all attention went to him of course I assumed he is the owner of the place, with the reaction to his presence.
He came straight to my Mum as he smiled cheekily, it almost seemed fake.
" Ahh Mrs Martin welcome, how was your Journey here " he said as he took my mother's hands in his shaking her
" it was very comfortable, thank you Sir" my mum answered politely
" Good Evening Sir " I said shyly behind my mum as he has refused to recognize my presence and I couldn't wait any longer to be noticed.
"You must be Ermah, how are you my dear" he said smiling at me creepily and patting my shoulder weirdly, he truly had no experience with children , I almost shoot my head, but fought to resist it.
" I'm fine Thank you Sir, " I said in the most polite manner and I turned to look at my mum who smiled at me in approval.
" I will show you to your rooms, you will be staying in the house not as previously planned, the workers quarters may be too far and who knows what time and when my Son might need you. There is a guest room downstairs, I thought you'd stay in the same room as your daughter but seeing she is all grown up, I'll have a room prepared for her upstairs immediately" he said after observing me for a bit, I already liked this man, staying in this huge house will be a pleasure for my sight seeing I'm already itching. I shivered excitedly. He called out a maids name I can no longer remember who carried my mum's luggage to her room and later disappeared up with my luggage up, he later showed us the major places we will be entering and went up giving us time to refresh and dress as dinner was being prepared . My mum pulled me to her new room and I inwardly groaned because I knew that look on her face too well , it was time for her series of advice.
" Malem, listen to me carefully for a word my dear is enough for the wise" she said seriously as she pulled at her ear slightly in demonstration.
" Yes ma" I answered respectfully.
" This is a new job and it means everything to us, you see this people I do not want to see you around them, stay in your room and study that is the only business you should have here, most importantly I know you, do not snoop around, do not go anywhere that is not my room, your room , the kitchen or outside, any other room is not your business and you see how large this place is, I don't want you to get missing in it," she stopped talking then I looked up to face her, then she continued
" I hope I have made myself clear" she finally concluded
" Yes mum, I will not snoop around, and I will mind my business but mummy there is no school so why should I study" as soon as my latter words came out I regret it, I knew she will keep an extra eye out and make sure I comply.
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
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
*****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.
