THE TWIN BROTHERS

Greetings…

And who was that behind that door… It was Lisa. Lisa Tatyson. It was actually her in all her glorious, whiteness.

Mari, frowned… wondering what this full white blooded creature with no shame wanted. Lisa stared, her red hair partially covering her face as she examined Mari, up and down, fascinated.

Mari stared back. A moment later, Lisa spoke…

“Hey, I just arrived not long ago and thought to come up here and greet you…”

“What next? Should I invite you inside and offer u water?”

“…”

“Then proceeded with massaging your feet. For all I know, you might be exhausted. Carrying your as thin a paper self from your father’s abode to a man who is engaged’s abode, with full knowledge that his fiancée might be around should be very tiring, right?”

“…. Umm”

“Gerrout” with that, the door was slammed in Lisa’s face. She heard cries outside the moment she turned, but ignored it… she was yet to sit when she heard her door being banged again… Surely, it wasn’t from the same person from earlier. It must be her lawyer, her defense… Irritated, she walked towards the door and flung it open.

Cassimire had Lisa in his arms, crying. Lisa looked like she has been beaten up, struggling to catch her breath…

“Casey,…I’m fine, a speck of dust just happ… happened to enter my eye” Lisa said, with a hand caressing his chest and a mouth forcing a smile.

“No, try something more real to match the drama you are putting up. Like, I beat u up to the point of death and…” Mari started, rolling her eyes but was rudely cut off by Cassi.

“Don’t you dare spew out another word, you thing!”

“Oh please. Stop spitting on me, I just took my bath not long ago, I’m good. You better do yourself a big favor and get out of here with that thing you are confusing me with. I’m still feeling sleepy” Mari didn’t back down. She never does, forget the fact that she’s female. She’s half African.

‘Bam!’ She slammed the door shut in their faces… Suddenly the place became quiet… an awkward one behind the door and a peaceful one inside.

Cassimire fumed. Remembering this girl in his arms, he suppressed his anger and led her to the hall.

“I’m sorry, baby”, Cassi apologized as he knelt before her, cleaning her tears…

“I..I just went there to say hi… I really didn’t mean to offend her…” she explained, bringing out more tears, making Cassi’s heart hurt.

“Aw, baby. She really doesn’t deserve your attention. Ignore her next time, okay?” He pulled her into his arms for a soft and affectionate hug. Mari would have cringed at the awful display of affection.

Cassi missed the sly smile on his lover’s face.

“Let me go get you some drinks. Let’s go out later, okay?” He said, pulling away “Go upstairs and unpack your things first, I’ll be waiting down here”

“Ohkay…” she slowly nods, eyes down, and pitifully cleaning away a croc tear… Slowly she made her way upstairs to the guest room.

Passing by Maridiya’s room, she entertains a smirk on her face.

‘Let’s just wait and watch. I’ll fully snatch away your so called fiancé and kick you out of this place!’

….

“That foolish man” Mari mumbles as she cleans up the hall… “You eat with your so called excuse of a lover the leave this mess for who to come and clean up?”

Today is her day off work at her father’s company so she had nothing to do till her so called fiancé and his lover gave her something to do.

After, the connects her phone to the home theaters, dancing along the blasting music that came with it…

“Asey satan I’ll break your jugulars…” she motion… seriously warning… “Hai, hai…”

She twirls around… feeling like and happy… “awwwww… ha ha ha”

“On the mountain, down in the valley, where them deyyyyyy???” She was practically singing on top of her voice at this point.

“Oppression! Depression! Where them deyyyyy?”

The song ended before she became aware of the banging at the door.

She quickly turned down the music and rushes to open the door. It surely can’t be the two stupid ppl. They have the keys.

Lo and behold, t’was Mr. Kim, a twenty nine years old man, single and definitely not searching, filthy rich and crazily handsome. Such a heart breaker stood before her with a from etched on his lovely face…

“Hey there, handsome…” Mari greeted, unashamedly checking him out “Pls smile for it is I, a goddess you are looking at”

For a moment, Kim went speechless. His irritation increased by a lot.

“…”

“Is there anything I could possibly do for you for you to interrupt my one man show?” She asked with a smile, going straight to the point.

“Do you want to break down the building?” He questioned.

“Has a crack appeared anywhere on it?” She rebutted.

“…” this crazy and unreasonable girl.

“If no, then thank you for caring about the other residents that came to you to come and confront me in my own space. You can now leave” Mari turned to leave, slowly shutting the door but was stopped midway by Kim.

“ This is your last warning” he growled.

“ When was the first?” She showed a sweet smile. Bringing out her phone, she stared at him with her big innocent eyes and turn on the music, turning it up.

“ I get backing ohhh…. Eiya. I walk with God the father, walk with God the son…” she sang along, with a tilt of her head, still staring at him.

“I’m calling the cops” he takes out his phone.

“Why don’t you call your father, boy?” She cooed…

“…”

‘Bam!’ Kim watched the door, slammed shut.

“Interesting, Miss Mari. We are most definitely not done with this”…
