Always been mine!

Chapter ten

Part of me was relieved I miscarried,I wasn't ready to be a mom to anyone but I could tell the loss of the baby had hurt Michael a lot even though he acted like all was well.

He left for work every morning at 7a.m. I'd wake up, kiss him goodbye and go back to sleep. Today I did the same thing and I woke up hours later to take a shower. while I was on my way to the bathroom, i heard noise. Doors banging and people laughing.

I was about to open my door when someone did it for me. A tall blonde guy, with a chiseled chin and blue eyes that looked exactly like Michael peeped, "Hello!" He said and turned to whoever he was with, "she's here!" I could only see his shoulders and head but he looked tall and he was, because a second later someone pushed him into the room and entered right behind him. Another guy, shorter than him but way taller than me, he was another replica of Michael with the exact color of hair, so I guessed him to be the younger brother he told me about.

I smiled and Michael's replica rushed into the room picking me up and spinning me. "You must be my future sister-in-law." He put me down and kissed my cheek then turned to blondy,

"bro, how does he always pick the pretty ones?"

Blondy: "because you're stupid , remember? " He said and walked over to us, "hello. Nikki, right? I can call you that?" I gave him a hug,

"yes, call me Nikki." I said, with a huge smile on my face.

Blondy: "well then, I am Kairos, and this stupid one is Marcus!"

Marcus: "if you call me stupid in front of every lady, no one will want to be with me."

I laughed and Kairos spoke. "Ok, today you're exempted.

Marcus: "good." He turned to me,"Nikki , we're going drinking in a little bit, so you have to join us. And talk your boyfriend into having a pool at this wretched place, some of us can't survive without water."

Kairos pulled him after him and closed my door.

They left my room and I took my bath in peace. They were so sweet to me, especially marcus.

I wore my black chiffon jumpsuit with gold sandals and walked down where I found them drinking like it wasn't only 12p.m. Bonnie was also drinking but that's my friend. She saw me and rushed to me,

"besty, have you seen that one?" She asked pointing at Marcus."Why didn't I meet him earlier, all these grandpas wouldn't exist. I could just die." She said and faked fainting.

I laughed. "Knuckle head, even if ten Marcus' were given to you, you'd never be faithful."

"Yeah, but I think I like this one." She pulled me to the gang and offered me a bottle of spin. I was about to reject it when I remembered I wasn't pregnant anymore and took it.

So I learnt Kairos was the first born, Marcus 2nd and Michael 3rd. I had thought Marcus was the youngest of the three but he wasn't. Their last born was Alicia and was still in spain. She'd refused to come because of some misunderstanding she'd had with Michael. It was none of my business so I didn't ask.

Martha brought a tray filled with grilled ribs and Marcus gave her a huge kiss,

Him:"now that's why I love coming here."

She poked her knife at him:"Right! You only remember I exist when you're hungry."

We all laughed, "if you weren't married I'd take you everywhere I go." She made a face, "don't give me that face, you know you're too beautiful to be tied down doing nothing but cooking for this ungrateful brother of mine."

She chased him round the room before leaving.

******************************************

Michael joined us after work, we'd sat in the garden drinking and playing music. Bonnie was all over Marcus like a hungry dog. Kairos was smoking and drinking, he looked content. I was told he's married with a 3yr old kid back in spain. He offered me a glass of whiskey and I took it, only for Michael to grab it from me.

Him:"that's not happening! Every time you take whiskey, you become horny like a dog in heat and am not going down that road. Don't tempt me woman, doctor said I shouldn't touch you until after two weeks and it has only been ten days."

Marcus:"if he doesn't want to , I am here. Am better looking than him." Marcus interrupted but before we could answer, Bonnie spoke, "Hey, I thought we had a connection but your w***e of an ass is eavesdropping on a conversation that doesn't concern you."

We both Laughed.

He later let me have my whiskey with a threat of locking me up alone in my room. I craved ifisashi with nshima and dry fish that day so I'd asked Martha to cook some for me. She brought rice and beef stew for everyone and my nshima. To my surprise everyone wanted to taste my food, before I knew it, we were eating together. Lucky enough she'd cooked enough so she brought more.

Michael: "cook this for me once in a while. It's so good."

Martha;"I told you Zambia has the best meals but you refuse eating anything you deem strange."

Everyone but Kairos ate nshima. I had a few more glasses of whiskey before Michael decided to call it a night, Because of work. It was ten days before Christmas and he would be off work starting on the 18th which was in the next three days, until the 5th of january. I told him to go up and rest and that I'd join him later but he pulled me after him.
