Hailey and Nancy were at home and snacking on some chicken and chips, chattering about the 'discipline’ Hailey had begun to inflict on Georgina.
“And she walked to the kitchen this morning, looking all eager, expecting to see some food in there, somewhere..”
“When she didn't see any, she was stunned.. You should've seen her face,” Hailey was laughing maniacally at her sister's plight and Nancy was enjoying every minute of it.
“Serves her right,” Nancy replied, “She should learn that no one fends for anyone else in the real world. She can't expect you to do all the working while she does all the eating..”
“I've told her every which way to get some work and make money but she's turned it all down, even going to the extent of criticizing my hustle..”
“Forgetting that it's the one that keeps both me and her big ass fed, as well as keeping this roof over our heads.. So I think she needs this lesson.”
Nancy nodded for a while before saying, “And, as a matter of fact, I think you shouldn't stop there; you should threaten to kick her out.. Give her an ultimatum to find some work and support her needs or you'll kick her out..”
Hailey thought for a bit before asking, “You think that would help?”
“Like a charm,” Nancy replied, “It's gonna be the wakeup call her lazy ass needs.”
And so, Hailey connived with her friend to make her own sister's life hell, but little did she know that she would be the one getting a wake-up call.. In a matter of minutes..
It was a surprising sight for Hailey and Nancy when Georgina came back from school that afternoon, all smiles, with three new, extra large and full shopping bags in her hands, giving them pecks and hugs and singing a sweet tune.
Had the girl gone mad? They thought.
“Why the f**k are you so happy, young lady?” Hailey asked.
“Well,” Georgina naively began, “I was at school today and I was wondering how I'd get home seeing as I had no money on me to take a taxi or even board a train. So while I was wondering, guess who pulled up..?”
Nancy and Hailey looked at one another, confused and wondering who could have pulled up to save the day for the nobody that was Georgina.
“Drake?” Hailey said eventually, having nothing else to say.
Georgina laughed out loud and then said, “No, no, no, silly.. Not Drake.. Zayn Jones’ driver.. In his BMW..”
“And he picked me up from school, driving me all the way down. Then, he took me shopping and I made sure to buy something for you two.. Here..”
She handed one of the gift bags to Hailey, who took it with a look of shock on her face.
Then, Hailey began to unveil the items in the bag:
First was a plus sized perfume bottle which, according to the price tag on it, cost $1,800.
Then, a fairly large silver box. On it was a tag of $50,000. Opening it, Hailey found necklaces, earrings and bracelets.
The next item was two phones, brand new with their packages. They were the latest Samsung smartphones. They cost a total of $2,900.
Nancy and Hailey were lost for words, but Georgina had more with which to stun them:
“And.. His driver said we have a date tonight, so I'll have to go prepare because he's going to come pick me up..”
Nancy swallowed hard and Hailey couldn't believe her ears. She, however, managed to ask:
“Wh- what did he get you, then? If you got us this expensive s**t?”
And as Georgina made to reveal the items she'd received, Hailey shuddered.
Had Georgina become wealthier than her overnight? She had better not.
“Oh, I only needed a new laptop, a new phone and a few books.. But he said his boss would kill him if he found out that these were the only things he got me, so he went out of his way..”
“I've got so much clothes, jewelry and accessories now that I don't think I'd be able to use them even till the year runs out.. He also gave me some money.. So, now sis, I will be less of a burden to you.. That's good, right?”
Hailey didn't know how to respond.
“Well, yeah.. I guess..” she managed to say after a few moments of silence.
“I know it's surprising, Hailey, I mean, I can't believe it, myself.. But it's happening.. Anyway, I have to go get prepared for the date..”
And with this, Georgina skipped away happily, leaving Hailey and Nancy stunned.
Just that morning, Georgina had left the house on an empty stomach because Hailey had intentionally not made any food available, and now, by 2pm at noon, the same girl was returning with gifts worth over $50,000 for her and Nancy.
Nancy looked at Hailey and could see the expression of shock and a hint of rage on her friend's face. So, to lighten the mood, she said:
“You know.. We could actually be better off going off to work tonight.”
Hailey scoffed before answering, “Why? So that some hairy, smelly and horny truck driver who's been stressed all month long could stick his plus sized, veiny c**k into my p***y and pound the crap out of me for a little over two hundred dollars?”
“And, I'll be getting plowed for next to nothing while that lazy ass b***h, Georgina, goes on a date with a billionaire, eating fine and dainty food? No, Nancy, I don't think so..”
The bitterness in Hailey's voice was evident, as though Georgina was the reason she had failed so far in her pursuit for wealth, or as though Georgina was the one who'd controlled their fates and had given her an unfortunate one..
“Well, what do you want?” Nancy asked, tired of Hailey's whining, moaning and bitching.
“I want that life! The life she's about to cruise into! I want it! I deserve it! I've worked for it! She hasn't! She's been privileged and spoon-fed all her life and she should rot! Not enjoying everything or anything good! Why always her? I want that life!”
Hailey's outburst stunned Nancy. It was so bad that she was actually crying out of sheer bitterness.
Nancy, seeing how badly her friend wanted this, said:
“And you will have it, Hailey..”
“How? She's already on her way-” Hailey tried to protest.
“Leave that to me.. She's done the hard part of discovering this rich, handsome man.. Now, you and I, we will take him from her..”
