[Nigeria]
Valerie kept on thinking how Nigeria will be throughout her flight. She had heard so many stories about Nigeria both weird and normal.
She did a silent prayer as the flight attendant announced their arrival to Nigeria. She checked her phone and saw they got to Nigeria 3pm Nigerian time.
Immediately she alighted from the plane, the first thing that hit her was the Nigerian sun as she scanned the whole area for the Oghenetega's.
Her mom had told her that their family name is Oghenetega. Immediately Valerie sighted them, she walked up to them and greeted them.
"Good afternoon Uncle, good afternoon aunt," She said as she half knelt down
"Good afternoon young lady, you must be Valerie?" Mr Oghenetega asked
"Yes sir," Valerie answered
"I said it, you are the exact version of my sister when she was young." Mr Oghenetega said
Valerie just laughed at the comment as her aunt helped her with her luggage. First impression matters, she was happy at the way her mother's brother welcomed her and she hoped his children are nice too.
Her mum had explained to her that her uncle has two children, the first being a boy and the girl is the last born which she should be around Valerie's age.
She thought about this as she followed her uncle to where the car was packed. Her uncle opened the car boot as they entered into his Mercedes-AMG GLE53, and drove out of the airport.
"So Valerie, this is Asaba city, the capital of Delta state," Her uncle said
"Wow, it is beautiful sir but is this where we stay?" Valerie asked
"No, we stay in Warri, which is few hours drive," Mr Oghenetega explained
"Okay sir," She replied smiling
"Valerie, what is your native name?" Her aunt asked
"Omarmerhi Ma," She replied
"Wow, nice name,"
"My kid sister has a taste for name. You see honey, I was so happy Rukevwe send her to Nigeria and that is one thing I love about my sister, she never forget her source," Mr Oghenetega said to his wife smiling
"I agree with that, just because you are abroad doesn't mean you should forget your source, where you are coming from. So Valerie, hope you are loving Nigeria?" Mrs Oghenetega said facing Val
"Am trying Ma,"
"Don't worry, you will get use to the life here and don't feel intimidated," Her aunt explained
"Okay aunt. What about my cousin?" Val asked
"The two of them should be at home, right Honey?" Mr Oghenetega said
"Yes, Omotekoro is at home but Monigho went out with his friends," Her aunt explained
"Okay love. Valerie am sure you will love both of them and Omotekoro is also your agemate," Her uncle said
"Okay uncle, that is nice." Valerie replied smiling
The trio kept on gisting as they journeyed to Warri. Her uncle's car stop as soon as they got to a mansion, then he honked at the gate. Their gatekeeper opened the gate while they drove in.
Valerie took notice of all these and as soon as the car stopped, a pretty girl of her age came out and rushed to the car like a baby. She sensed she is Omote... something something, her uncle was talking about in the car.
But then, Valerie admitted that the girl is so beautiful. With her fair blemish-free skin, her round lips plus her hourglass figure that hold her curves firmly.
"Welcome dad and mum," She said smiling
"How are you baby," Her aunt asked the girl
"Fine mommy," She replied
"Oh, Omotekoro, this is Valerie your cousin and Valerie, this is my daughter, Omotekoro," Mr Oghenetega said introducing both girls
"Nice to meet you Omote..."Valerie said but stopped abruptly since she couldn't get the pronunciation of the name
"Just call me Heavin," Omotekoro said smiling
"Okay Heavin and I must admit that you are very beautiful," Val said smiling
"Oh, am loving you already and you are more beautiful with those pretty chocolate-honey eyeballs," She said dramatically
"Thanks Heavin," Val said smiling
"Girls, enough of the familiarisation, you will do that later. Now, Omotekoro help Val with her bags and also show her the room she will be staying," Mr Oghenetega voice cut through their mini discussion
"Okay dad." Omotekoro replied
The both of them matched into the house and Valerie was wowed by the interior decor of the house. Though it was not as beautiful as her dad's mansion back in Chicago but she also loves her uncle fashion taste.
"Babes, this is your room," Heavin voice cut through her thoughts
"Wow, it is nice," Val said smiling
"Yeah, when you are done, join us for dinner,"
"Okay Cuz," Val replied
"Lest I forget, did you have a native name?" Heavin asked
"Yes babe, it is Omarmerhi," Val replied smiling
"Wow, nice name," Heavin said almost at the door
"Thanks babe," Val replied while she sat on the bed
"Let me leave you to get settled first then we can gist later," Heavin said while she opened the door
"Alright Cuz." Valerie replied
As soon as Heavin left the room, Valerie took her bath and change her clothes to something casual and free. She went downstairs to get a bottle of chilled water since she was thirsty but stopped abruptly as she saw a handsome god in front of her.
She tried to save herself from drooling but she can't get enough of the hot chocolate guy in her presence. As soon as she got her chance to talk, Heavin beat her to it.
"Hey big bro," Heavin said
"Kid sis, Watssup," Her brother said
"Am fine. Oh permit me to introduce you to my brother," Heavin said facing Valerie
"Big bro, meet Valerie, our cousin dad told us about that stays in Chicago and Valerie meet Omonigho, my elder brother," Heavin said finally
"Nice to meet you Omonigho, hope am right with the pronunciation?" Valerie asked smiling
"Yes, but call me Ivan and it is my pleasure Gorgeous," Omonigho said smiling and flirting at the same time
"Come off it, she is your cousin bro," Heavin said slapping her brother playfully as soon as she noticed he was flirting
"And it is good to admire sis. Will catch up with you later Valerie," He said playfully with a wink as he left the place
"Don't mind him, that is how he joke around." Heavin said smiling
Valerie nodded while she smiled.
