*NEXT DAY
They’re all eating breakfast when the door bell rang. June went for the door only to see Ma Angel.
“Good morning ma”she said as she allowed her in.
“Should I answer to that?”she said.
“It’s a yes since I’ll be part of your family”June said.
“Did I approve to that?”she asked as she walked.
“I and my soon to be husband haven’t settled on the date”June said and she stopped walking.
June saying soon to be husband as if Xavier is already a man.
“Not with my son?”she said, more like a question.
“He’s the one, no one else”June said.
“Claiming, hmm”
“When did you both starting talking with cool faces?”Mimi asked since they got to the dinning already.
“I have to please my mother-in-law”June said but Ma Angel said nothing which made them look at her.
“Seems I’m not gonna be welcomed”she said.
“You are, if you eat Nigerian dishes”Mimi said.
“Yeah, that’s only what we can spare”Noah said.
She joined them. They’re having bread and tea with fried eggs.
“We also eat this”she said as she was served.
“But this is Nigerian made”Finch said.
“I see you all are obsessed with this country”she said.
“No, I’m in love with it. I’m planning on telling my mom that after college I’m gonna have a tour on Africa, but Nigeria did be my first”Mimi said.
“Then I got no choice since I’m your boyfriend”Noah said and she smirked.
“Don’t tell me you’re falling for me”she whispered since she’s beside him and he laughed sarcastically.
“Stop daydreaming”Noah said.
“Wow! Then stop saying you’re my boyfriend, we can only fake it around our parents”she said.
“But you…..”
“Table manners please!”Finch cut in and they glanced hard at each other.

“Son!”Ma Angel said as the rest left.
“I’m really not ready to hear you say she’s my sister”Xavier said.
“I’m not gonna say it”she said.
“Then what?”
“I’m sorry”she said.
“If you were forced to say it, then I’m not ready”he said.
“I mean it, I’m really sorry for everything”she said.
“June, I love her, five years difference, I don’t care, all I know is that I do love her. So if you won’t accept her…..”
“I will”she said and he looked at her. He wanted to scream with a big smile as she said it, but he wanna hear it again.
“You’re not joking? You’re really gonna accept us?”he blinked.
“Your happiness is mine so yes”she said.
“Yes!!!! Thanks mom!”he hugged her and the others walked out of their hiding spot.
“Hurray!!!!!!!”Grace screamed.
“It’s not a birthday party”Finch said.
“At least it’s a reunion”she said.
“So when is the wedding taking place?”Mimi said.
“Seriously!”
“After his graduation, we settled on that”June said.
“No it’s before”Xavier said.
“After”she said.
“Before”
“After”
“I should get a boyfriend then ours will be No Yes”Mimi said and they laughed.
“I’ll be heading home by noon”Ma Angel said as the laughter died down.
“Did you find out who’s Xavier sister?”June asked.
“I couldn’t, I met your uncle but the story is in another form. I’m sorry I misunderstood and behaved like a devil”she said.
“Thanks for accepting me”June said and they hugged.
“Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law”Mimi giggled.
“I’ll be sending the list for the bride price”Grace said and she laughed.
“What’s Bride price?”
“Are you selling the Bride?”
“It’s gonna cost a lot”
Ma Angel couldn’t help but laugh. She remembered when her brother said he’s gonna showed her the list of things for Xavier mom’s marriage.
“I’ll get going”she walked away.
“When are we gonna go home?”Finch asked.
“Someone is missing someone!”Mimi sang as they walked to the living room.
“Mimi!”Finch chuckled.
“Don’t worry, she’s all yours!”Mimi laughed.
“You should have brought her along”Xavier said.
“Wasn’t sure if she would wanna come”he said.
“He just admitted”Noah laughed.
“Guys!!”
“Finch and Gold!”they said.
“No, fish and Gold instead”Mimi said and they laughed.
“Fish?”Grace said.
“That’s what June pronounce his name as. I remembered when she asked me, fish don come and I was like who’s fish”Mimi said and they laughed.
“Then she said Diamond is die young”Xavier said and they laughed again.
“Seriously June!”
“I’m right here”June who’s also laughing said.
“But it was really funny”Mimi said.
“Xavier was Zavier!”Noah said and they laughed again.
“Queen of name spoiling”Mimi laughed.
“Yeah, she should have a crown!”Finch said and they laughed.

*NIGHT
Finch kept trying Gold’s line but it keeps getting disconnected.
Mimi and Noah are on their argument in the living room. They’re watching a movie which is the topic of the argument.
Xavier and June as usual are business with their lovey-dovey act.
“Who wants to have some drinks!”Grace said loudly and they all ran to her. They made a circle form in the living room.
“Beer?”
“Yeah, we haven’t gotten drunk so let’s do that”she said. Mimi was the first person who picked a bottle.
“I’ll pass”Finch said.
“Maybe he wants to sleep outside”Grace said and he picked a bottle.
“How did you start working for my mom?”Xavier asked.
“Oh that, I just got lucky, she has a company here and I work there, so… she asks for this job and here I am”she said.
“Nice”
“Mimi and Noah, you both should just date already!”Finch said.
“He’s already in love with me”Mimi bragged.
“She needs medication”Noah scoffed.
“But I mean it, his eyes says it all”Mimi said.
“So if I am”Noah said and she faced him.
“Getting serious”Finch muttered.
“That’s it, we can’t work”she snapped.
“Why why, why can’t we work?”he said and she laughed.
“Cause we can’t”she scoffed.
“That’s heartbreaking”he muttered.
“Okay, stop the act Noah”she said.
“I mean it, my heart beats at just the sight of your face”he said.
“Awww!!!!!”
“Noah…..”
“It’s okay if you think it’s a joke”he turned away.
“I don’t know what to say and I h@të being in this situation”she muttered.
“I wanna try something”Noah faced her again.
“What?”she blinked.
“Kiss, let’s kiss”he said.
“Kiss!! Jesus!”she said sarcastically. The rest are already laughing.
“I’m a good kisser”he said.
“No, I’m never kissing you”
“I just said I’m a good kisser”he said.
“It’s my first kiss”she muffled.
“I’ll make it memorable”he said.
“Fine”she said and joined him lips together, closing her eyes.
“I’m not watching!”Finch muttered as he and the others looked away.
