I woke up the next morning, feeling refreshed, happy and light.. such a feeling comes when you go to bed, full… hah…
I checked my phone and saw missed calls. From my mom, Cassi and Genny, my friend. That girl… it’s been ages since I even heard from her. Well, let me call them after freshening up…
On my bed, buttering up, I called my mom first…
“Sweetheart, what happened yesterday?”
“Hello to you too, mommy… Thanks for asking about my health.. I’m good. How are you doing?” I greeted, carefree. I don’t know but I’m so happy today. Feeling all fly and gbesh…. Oh my God… haha.
“Maridiya.”
“Yes mommy??”
“Answer my question… don’t dare ask me what question”
I closed my already opened mouth and changed the words I had in mind…
“Usual and normal things happened yesterday, mommy… nothing out of the ordinary. Anything?” Did something happen that I’m not aware of? Did I miss any drama…? Oh.
“Maridiya”
“Yes mommy?” She called my name three times and I answered all… later…
“ You always manage to leave humans speechless. Whatever happens is your cup of tea. Don’t you dare step your dirty feet in my husband’s house since you don’t want to get one. Bye”
“Mommy…” I called out to her… offended… but she just sighed and ended the call. At this point, I honestly believe that I am adopted cus ei.
I’m feeling too lightheaded to go to work today I’ll go tomorrow… I just hope I don’t get any call from my firm today. And yeah, I’m a lawyer… I like to call myself, the relationship lawyer… anything concerning real life emotions towards love to be exact.
I stepped out and headed to the kitchen. I’m hungry.
I locked eyes with Lisa when I got to the living room. Faced with her plain and not very attractive eyes, I remembered the g-string and bra I saw yesterday. This girl is very funny. So you want me to see it, I’ve seen it, now what? I should confront you? For what? Ei…
“Sister…”
“Your mother…. Your…. Oh, God forgive me for I’ve sinned. This daughter of Jezebel before my eyes caused it… please forgive me” I looked up to the heavens and prayed.
Lisa looked at me with ‘great annoyance’ written on her forehead.
“What? You want to beat me?” I snapped at her. She breathed so heavily that I heard her do so but she controlled it.
“I would definitely not argue with a shameless b***h like you” I think she feels like she has said something.
“Says someone who sleeps with another’s fiancé with no shame. I’ll have you know that, I’m not a petty woman but if you fool, I’ll beat you up…” and I’m not joking…
She looked at me as if I was some kind of crazy woman she has not seen before.
“You think we are in Africa. You think you can just beat up someone just like that? Really?” She gave a sarcastic laugh. Ei, this girl… really?
“This oversized refrigerator of a land cannot be Africa…” I said, approaching her… “But I’m African”
….
“This pie is quite dry… make it rich the next time, u hear?” I asked whilst taking my breakfast. God being so good, I didn’t have to cook anything. He made a certain someone do it for me…
I heard no sound so I looked up at her…
“Ohkay…” she squeaked, stifling a sob… looking like a bullied kid… lowering her eyes.
“Okay what?”
“Okay, ma’am” she answered. Better.
A while ago, she even dared insult me for eating the food Cassi prepared yesterday. I was quite surprised to learn that he prepared it. At first, I only wanted to show her a lesson but after she insulted me, I had not choice but the urge to beat her to stupor.
And yeah, I did so in a way that no mark was left but just pain was inflicted. Oh, yeah, I didn’t forget to tell her not to tell a soul about it. I also told her not to sleep with Cassi again. It’s not like it had pained me but… whatever. I gave her two days to leave the house and Cassi’s life, threatening her with some witchcraft things I told her my grandmother in Africa would do to her… hehe. And it worked perfectly well.
“Go inside, I don’t want to see your face. Only come out when it’s afternoon to prepare food for me. You are here so u have to make yourself useful, do you understand?”
“Yes, ma’am” she got up… I can’t stand her shivering and looking traumatized. Upon all the mouth-mouth, see her now.
Watching her leave, I called her back… “Um, husband snatcher, come back…” she did… I handed the tray to her…
“Go n clean up the kitchen. Wash the dishes and put everything in order” with a slow and pitiful nod, she left.
I sprawled on the couch, watching a movie while texting Genny. I saw her come out. Aw, the poor girl was still shaking. Only God knows what is going on in the little head of hers. She should go and rest.
“Now, go upstairs and rest. As I’ve mentioned, don’t dare say a word to anyone or….” I noticed how she flinched… aw. With quick successive nods, she ran upstairs.
Haha… my phone rang, t’was Genny.
She’s a Nigerian girl. Very much matches my energy and everything.
“Madam” I greeted.
“Are you at your fiancé’s place?” She questioned.
“Yes, why?”
I heard a knock on the door… “come and open me”
I dashed out of the couch to open the door for her… cus why not? Haha… It’s always good to see her.
“Oh, my goodness… I’m beat” she held me by the shoulders and shook me.. after giving me a pat, she headed to the kitchen. I followed after her.
“Wow, someone cleaned up” she said, bringing out a drink from the fridge… she didn’t bother to take a glass because, of course she would finish everything.
“Hehe, you noticed”… I practically dragged her back to the hall.. there, I updated her on recent happenings…
I finished with my story and looked up at her from my phone… her eyes slightly bulging… stifling a laughter. I think my expression forced it out her.
“Let me get this straight… you beat her?”
“Yes…?” Raising a brow and looking at her puzzled. What?
“You actually beat her?”
“Yes”
“Really?”
“No”
She backed down into the couch, letting out a breath of relief, “Thank God, I actually thought you did” closing her eyes.
“I did” she froze, looked at me and fainted. Yeah, that serious. But don’t worry, she’ll wake up soon. The perfect definition of drama… haha.
….
“Awake now?” I watched her stir up from the couch….
“I’m hungry” she complained in a soft voice. Of course, she’ll be hungry. She’s always hungry.
“Lisa, hurry with the food” I called out…
“Lisa?”, the sleep cleared from her face. Her next expression was a stunned and shocked face seeing Lisa come out from the kitchen obediently with a tray in hand.
“You’ll wake up outside the next time you faint” I warned, going back to what I was doing.
I told Lisa to go back up after she finished serving and cleaning up the kitchen. Genny came back to her senses… that was after subconsciously finishing her food…
“What did you say u did to her again?”
“I beat her”
And… she fainted.
