“My babies,how are you two settling in havens academy?. Mrs carmicheal asked her kids “very nice mum “leilah answered standing up from her chair to seat on her mum’s lap , come here darling’ tucking her daughters hair she wrapped her arms around leilah, tho the kids were already grown she still see’s them as a baby they were her miracle children, she could still remember the night of their birth 16th of January she had thought she had almost lost strength she couldn’t push out the second baby which was leilah , the looks on her husband’s face was grave he had cried his eyes out after seeing her push out the first baby tho the scan all along showed only one baby until the doctor said there’s another one coming out which was a shock to everyone and she was happy but got really sad as she had lost strength,Robert was shaking as his face was filled with horror the moment he sensed Amelia couldn’t go with the labour he was down on his knees while begging her not to leave him , the thoughts of leaving him had hurt her so bad and gave her strength to push out the second baby which did not even take much strength it was just a miracle how she survived it as her pulse were almost gone and everyone had panicked, the incident made Robert suggest child bearing or better still he would let her do the easy way instead of going through the labour .
Back to the present she sighed “mum are you okay? Bellina asked as she noticed her mother zoned out for a minute “yea I’m good peach , come here “she gestured towards her bel went towards her and sat beside her the mother and daughter trio looked so happy, since two months the kids have been here they realised how much their parents loved them, they were surprised their mum had a mini gallery room in the house, and it had all their pictures framed and some painted, all the pictures they took every single time and sent to their parents were all there .
Taking quick pictures of the mother and daughter trio before they could notice him “now I’m satisfied, Robert said getting their attention “ Daddyyyyyyy” Bellina stood up hugging her dad and he ended up carrying her up and put her on his back, he’s a very agile man with his big physique and broad shoulders his olive skin making him look like a Kent doll , “ I want to be carried too” Leilah said “ and who said I can’t carry you both” I have being in gym practicing to do that” he said picking her up and got both girls hooked on both is front side and back “ now i think I’m going to like a picture of this” Amelia said picking up her phone to take a picture before the girls got off their dad worried cos of their weight which was actually nothing compare to Roberts strength .
The family spent the whole afternoon and evening together beside the feng shui waterfall in their compound, they had a literal home which many people dreams of asides from an artificial feng shui waterfall, they have a pool side, a big garden with the blue orchid tree at the centre in a glass enclosure , a library space with a glass wall view just opposite the garden, they have four peacock’s in the garden,a open fire space, an outside bar where they enjoy their time outside, and they also have a mini cinema in the house Robert had included that in the building after seeing how much Leila loves movies especially kdrama which they couldn’t just get over each time she comes out with a new Korean word and everyone is forced to know it but it was always lovely and now Bellina has joined in the movie escapades tho the library was always her first choice .
“ if only I can skip English classes “ Belina whispered to herself as mr lewis made his way into the class , Ethel immediately had stood up to let the teacher know she had prepared the class . Her rude and uncouth attitude was already getting on everyone’s nerve in the class but no one dared to say a thing as her status as futher skyrocketed the moment her father had become the Human Resources minister of the country ,the already high and mighty Ethel Howard’s pride became three times more .
The English class had gone unexpectedly well as Ethel didn’t throw so much tantrums in the class, bellina had been finding herself thinking of zain since the day he had talked to her during his research and the way he tucked her hair which caught her off guard ,she hasn’t seen him since Monday and its Thursday,she found it more weird that she missed seeing him at her line of sight ,and had got her thinking more about him , Leilah approached her and stared at her twin “hmmm you seem off today what is the matter?,and I think I caught you staring off into space for a sec during English class , start spilling the tea ’’ I’m hungry can we go to the cafeteria firsr? “ off we go “ leilah said as they both left hand in hand to the cafeteria and was now seating at their usual spot which was already becoming a culture of them having a personal space as it was in the corner and with the window view which was a great sight , “are you going to tell me what’s bothering you now? Leilah demanded “ nothing really, I guess I’m just tired , lately have been having a change of heart, funny thing that movie “my life with the walter boys’’ there was this statement that got me thinking lets say gave me more clarity, if it hadn’t been for you lei my life would have been more boring than it is right now, i want something more fun like this feeling of experiencing something new I don’t know how to explain it” “let me complete it for you the feeling of crushing on zain “ leilah giggled closing her mouth as the word got stuck in her throat bellina’s face turned red out of embarrassment “ oh my God ! I think I’m right “ Leilah teased her further “ lei stop embarrassing me, shusshhhh” but that’s not the case but yea i think you’re right but it’s not just about that i just want to find something fun to do asides books and i think i find watching movies interesting and you’re pretty good at choosing the right movies to watch , bellina said with a flushed face “is this my sister?, where is the nerdy peach , who are you? Leilah laughed
I am here lei, stop being sarcastic, bellina laughed . They both kept chatting and making jokes and didn’t realise when zain and Anthony got to their front “ hi ladies can we join you in the conversation? “ Anthony interrupted them
Bel’s heart skipped a bit seeing zain who looked at her and smiled taking his seat beside her while Anthony sat beside Leilah.
She felt so uncomfortable and had mistakenly pressed the adjust button beside her seat , struggling to get herself out of the unexpected position, zain came to face her to help her adjust the chair , she felt her stopped as his handsome features came face to hers , their face almost touching, she parted her lips and closed her eyes out of embarrassment, zain didn’t stop looking at her either he found her cute and amusing at that moment and was tempted to kiss her, he leaned close to her left ear and whispered to her ear to open her eyes and sat back , bellina was flustered and her face turned pink , leilah seeing what just happened couldn’t stop smiling out of excitement and was already imagining the romance between them, Anthony was busy munching on his chicken burger to notice what just happened in his front but could sense something in atmosphere and he smiled inwardly.
