“Mide, trust me this guy is different. Can you see the way he was trying to help you out? He even punched someone for your sake.”
“He’s just trying to be nice. And he’s not. I don’t like him.” She replied. “You don’t like him because you haven’t seen the real him.”
“Amber, trust me. He’s good. He has everything you want in a man. He has it.” Kim tried to convince her.
“Check out this new design and this material.” Amber said, changing the topic of their discussion.
“Seriously… Are you checking it out or not?” Amber cut her off. “Lemme see.” She rasped and collected the laptop. “It’s nice. The materials are…I am giving it a 100%.. I love it. I hope your girls are ready.
Miss Fashion designer.” Kim said, and chuckles. “Stop making it, sound that way.” Amber said.
MINUTES LATER
Kim left the house and went to Femi’s house. He welcomed her with a hug and kisses. “What’s up bro? You left just like that and am surprised even Mrs Adeleke and Derrick left too. Is there any problem?”
“Is not something to worry about, okay. Mide was trying to sell the house, we talked about it and everything is settled now.”
“Tell me, you miss me.” Kim muttered and tried kissing him, but he removed her hands and stood up, she stood up also and walked closer to him.
“Babe, com’on what’s up?” She muttered and placed her hands on his neck. He held her waist and sighs softly.
“I prepared something for you.” He said. “You did. I’ve never seen you cook.” She said, he gave her a look, like what the hell.
“What? Nah only noodles you cook nah. And fried eggs.” She muttered. “Wh@tëver.. you’ve just succeeded in ruining my mood.”
“I’m sorry babe, I didn’t mean to. But that’s just the truth. Kiss me.”
“No..”
“Please, uh I will take it by force.” Kim mumbled. “For my own lips?”
“I don’t care. It’s ours. So just kiss me.” Kim pouted, he smiled and kiss her she reciprocate immediately, but it didn’t take up two minutes. He broke the kiss and carried her in bridal style.
“You need to go freshen up.” He mumbled. “Give me another kiss. I want it deep and fast.” She whispers and gave him a sweet smile. She tried to get his lips, he stopped her..
“Stop being silly …as long as it’s for you I don’t care.” She cut him off. He carried her to his bathroom and made her stand, she removed her dress and
walked to the bathroom, nàked. By then Femi has already left to answer a call.
Kunle arrived at his mother’s house, she was very happy to see him. This time there’s no excuse.
“You’re welcome, son.” His mother mutters and sat on the couch. He sat down, his nappy came to the living room and greeted him. “Ahh, Miss Shade, am sorry I didn’t come to greet you.”
“It’s fine, and besides you are just coming.” She replied, with a smile and left to get him something to eat.
“What’s up? How are you doing?”
“I’m fine, despite the fact that you don’t want to get married. Ehn you don’t want to give me grandkids, before I kick the bucket.” His mom said, looking away.
“Mom, I we’ve talked about this particular issue. I will get a woman, not just a woman but the mother of my unborn children. I will get one, please.”
“When? Kunle when? When are you getting married?” She threw questions at him. “Seriously, mom. This is why you called me, right? You didn’t even bother about my work and my life.” He said.
“Ahh, I’m sorry. But you see, am not getting anymore younger. And you too.” She said, calmly he glance at her.
“Alright, fine. How’s your work? How’s your ride over here?” She asked, softly. “It was fine. I was with Femi when you called, we went for a friend’s father anniversary.”
“Oh, that’s sad. Is she single?” She asked. “Who?” Kunle asked. “The friend. It’s a lady nah.”
“Yeah, it’s a lady. How did you know?” Kunle said, looking at her. “Is she single?” She asked, ignoring his question.
He didn’t know what to say. He was thinking if he should say yes. “What if I say yes and mom said that she wants to see her?”
“It’s not possible nah.” His inner mind said.
“I know, my mother.” He replied to his inner mind. “Well, I don’t know..” He stammered.
“Ahh, Why not ask Femi? Or Femi’s fianceé?” His mom said. He sighed softly. “If only mom knows that this lady, doesn’t want me talk to her. But she’s so beautiful and sweet too. I wonder why she’s forming.” He shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
His mom saw the smile on his face, “Kilo de? What’s the smile for?”
“I will talk to Femi about the lady.” Kunle replied, smiling. “Ehn, now you’re talking.” His mom replied, with a big smile.
“Mom, what about Simi?” He asked, looking around the house. He has been for almost thirty minutes but she hasn’t showed up.
“She went to her friend’s house.” His mom replied. “To do what? It’s almost 7pm and she’s not yet back.”
His mother sighed softly and didn’t know what to say, he picked his phone and was about to call her, when the door opened. It’s his sister.
“Madam, come inside.” His male said, she walked fully into the house and greeted him, but he snubbed her greetings.
“Where are you coming from? And what the fúçk are you doing out there, by this time of the night? It’s 7pm.”
“I went to my .. ..fri..friend’s house.” She stammered, looking at his angry face, and tried not to laugh at him.
“So what were you doing there?” He asked. “Studying.” She replied and showed him the books in her bag and burst into laughter. He chuckled and she jumped on his body.
“What’s up bro? I miss you oh.” She said, smiling. “I miss you too. I can’t believe you were trying to laugh, while I was asking you a question.”
“Oh com’on, you know that keeping that angry doesn’t suit you. And besides you can’t be mad at me forever. So what’s up? How’s your work?” She asked, and went forward to greet her mom and plant a kiss on her cheek.
“Work is fine. All thanks to God almighty.” He replied. “So any news about her? Bro I need money for something..” Simi said.
“Simi, can’t you allow him to rest? Before you come up with this conversation.”
Simi sigh and hissed, she walked to stairs. She went to her bedroom and freshen up.
“I hope you are not trying to leave this night.” His mom said. “Um…. Uh.. No am not leaving.” He replied.
“Go take your bath. Okay, dinner is almost ready.” His mom said, he nodded and left.
He came down to the dining room, everything has been served. He sat down and ate to his satisfaction.
°°°°°°°°°°
Amber helped her mother in the kitchen, they prepared something for dinner and she set the dinner table.
They ate together, as one big and happy family. “Mom I will be going to port harcourt tomorrow for a fashion show.” Amber said, first time since she took over her mother’s company. This is first time, she is telling her about her the place she’s going.
“Can I tag along?” Derrick asked. “No you can’t tag. You have stay at home and take care of mom, final year exams is not a thing of joke.”
“I know sis, I’ve been studying. I saw the new design you brought, it’s nice.” Derrick said.
“Thanks..” She muttered and stood up. “Are you done eating?”
“Yeah, you know I don’t eat much.” She muttered. “You only ate two spoons of rice.”
“It’s more than two.” She muttered. “Please don’t tell me that, eat something.” Helen said.
“See, if you eat married tomorrow i will tell your husband to force you to eat. You don’t eat anything.”
“Mom..I do eat.” Amber replied, calmly. “Mommy, table manners. And you too.” Derrick said to them.
Some minutes later, Helen and her son finished eating. They went to the sitting room where Amber has been sitting with her laptop. “Always busy.” Her mother said and sat beside her.
“Mom, I’m tired.” She said, tiredly and stretching and yawning. She used her back hand to rub her eyes and yawn. “You should get some sleep now.” Her mom said.
“You are taking these whole work things on yourself. You need to get some rest at least for a week.”
“Ahh, mom!” She called. “Ogini? What it is?”
“A week is too much. Until you faint, that’s when you will understand that your body needs rest.”
“Mom, am not going to faint. I mean I’ve been doing this work since nah. So it’s a no. I need to get some sleep now..”
“I hope you are really going to sleep, don’t open that laptop again.” Helen said. “Yes, ma.” She muttered and walked tiredly to her bedroom. She dropped the laptop on the sofa and fell on her bed.
“And you? Are you not going to sleep?” She asked. “I’m not feeling sleepy.” He replied.
“Alright, am going to my room. When you are done, you go to your room.” She muttered and stood up.
“Good night, mom. I love you.” He said. “I love you too.” Helen replied and went upstairs.
