- who are you? Answer quickly.
- I ... uh ... I ..
-you stutter?
-I...
- when I'm going to slap you you'll learn to respect me. You came by the house and you let me pick up Yvette from school.
- ikiiii! I wanted to surprise you and I'm not your little sister. I remind you that I went out before you.
- but I'm a guy so you respect me ok? I present to you Mimi. You stop threatening her.
She laughed and I immediately recognized Marrion's smile.
- you are...
- the twin sister of this killjoy? Unfortunately yes.
She took me in her arms.
- I got you eh! Come on relax, my brother keeps breaking my ears about you. But I see he was right, you are very beautiful wow!
- me ... thank you.
- and you stutter?
- she doesn't stutter.
He had in his arms, a little girl who was sleeping.
- she played too much eh!
- I took it to the pastry shop, it has at least three hours and that gives me a little rest.
I left at the door to let them pass.
- hmmmm! It smells good here! What's this?
- I ... uh ... I was cooking ... some ...
- go watch yourself because it will take at least three hours there to answer you.
I was ashamed.
- and now she is blushing. I'm counting on you Marriane to relax her as much as possible. She is too reserved and too stuck.
- I'm going to make her a little demon and we're going to make plans to harm you Mess.
- That's it! I thought you had a job.
- are you chasing me?
-no I...
- because I'm not going anywhere. I asked the boss for the weekend and this is where I'm going to spend it.
- you and your boss there eh!
- if you only knew how he annoys me sometimes with his head there, always giving orders.
- lol. I'm gonna tell daddy you say he has a weird face.
- go ahead what does it do to me? Tsuiipsss!
- I deposit the child and come back to settle your account.
- go ahead my beauty!
He wanted to kick her and she ran to get behind me.
- your husband is a savage.
I smiled before going to the kitchen and she followed me.
- I'll help you wash the dishes.
- no!
- yes, it's two plates, that's okay.
- Ok thank you.
- You're welcome.
She was as real and sincere as her brother. I had done four days with him. He sometimes scolded me for example if I refused to eat and the next minute it was as if he hadn't said anything.
- so tell me about yourself.
I debriefed on my life.
-wow! Looks like a movie! In short, consider that you have a real family from now on my dear. See me as a big sister and call me Marie, okay? I don't know but there is something in you that attracts. You were born under a lucky star and everything will be fine.
- sorry?
- Do not take into account, I sometimes ramble. Come on, we haven't finished working.
-Yes.
- Sunday you will go to worship with us?
- Sorry?
- will you go to church with us on Sunday?
- yes I believe but I am catholic.
- U.S. too. You know in life, when you let God drive, you get the most out of the trip.
- Yes, it's true.
- when you speak, you can hardly be heard, don't be afraid of me, now I'm your sister.
- yes Mada ...
- finish that word and I'll kick your ass.
I smiled because this young woman was like her brother.
When I finished, I went to take a bath before coming to serve with the help of Marie.
- it's super good Mimi.
- Thank you.
Then we were talking about everything and nothing when a little voice was heard.
- mom?
It was the little girl and she was very cute and looked like her uncle.
- did you wake up?
- yes, I want to take a bath.
- But...
- Marrion leashes I'll take care of it since it's my job.
I got up to come to the little girl who kissed me as if we knew each other.
- what's your name?
- Michelle.
- auntie mimi then? You are too Beautiful. Me is Yvette but they also call me Yvi.
- ok, Yvi, you are beautiful too. Let's go.
She was really too cute and well behaved, so giving her a bath was easy. Then I went down with her and as I found the twins side by side, the bride's head on her brother's shoulder, I didn't want to disturb. The little one went to her mother and I wanted to go to my room.
- Mimi come back give food to Yvi please.
- Okay.
I gave him something to eat and then we went to the bedroom.
- taty, you are too beautiful, can I do your hair?
- but I have my hair done.
- yes but it's old. Come on please Taty!
She reminded me a lot of Miguel. I missed him so much!
-Okay.
She undid my four braids and I found myself with hair like crazy.
- your hair is beautiful like that.
- no, they bother me when they're upwind and ...
- what the f**k is that hair?
- I know it's ugly.
- ugly? Ugly? Ah no my dear! It's super beautiful, curly and long. Why don't you leave them to the wind? You are more beautiful like that believe me. And your eyes! Haven't we told you yet that you are breathtakingly beautiful?
- yes, Marion, Miguel and Ivy.
- who is Miguel?
- My little brother.
- Okay. It's Friday today, movie night, we're going to watch a horror movie after putting Ivy to bed, are you coming?
- I...
- no is not an option.
- ok since I have no choice.
She walked over and took a comb to comb my hair before tying it back.
- here you are more beautiful. No need for makeup.
- thank you.
Ivy was starting to doze off.
- wow! She sleeps fast today, it's great. I am going to tuck it in and top it's parity
thing said, thing done. And she slept like a baby. His mother kissed him before getting up.
- your daughter is beautiful.
- Yes, it's true.
- and or ... he ... no let it go.
- his father? He's an American, I was studying there when I got pregnant. Her father wanted me to take his nationality and pass it on to my daughter, renouncing mine and my family, but I refused and we broke up. And I came home with my stomach to give birth here. I haven't heard from him since. I told my daughter that her father was far away.
- Okay.
- don't worry, with marrion and papa, she largely has a male presence.
- Okay.
- I see the glances that you throw from time to time at my brother. You like it, eh?
- No, it's just that I'm grateful to him and I don't know how to thank him.
- you'll find don't worry. And you do a lot for him.
Then we went down.
- have you finished trading? The movie is about to start and I poured some crisps into the bowl.
Marie turned off the light and went to sit with him on the sofa. They had a blanket. Since it was the only chair that allowed access to the images on the TV, I sat down on the carpet.
-.hey, come and put yourself here, between the two of us please.
I hesitated but their gaze persuaded me. I was sitting in the middle, too close to Marrion. The movie was really creepy and I wanted to hug someone. Rather, it was Marie who hugged me. At one point, I fell asleep and laid my head on his shoulder; accidentally. He didn't care.
When the movie was over, I was still asleep.
- I'm going to sleep with the girls and you're going to sleep alone marrion.
- OK and...
- Don't wake her up, door her to the bedroom, it's not far.
- But...
- please Marrion.
- Okay.
He lifted me up and carry me up to the bedroom.
- Good night.
-Good night Bro.
The next day, it was the little one who woke me up by jumping on me.
- hey Yvi, hello.
- hello Taty, let's talk quietly, mom is still asleep.
Yet it was she who was screaming.
- are we going to pray?
- sorry?
- we are going to pray so that I can go to the living room to see the drawings, mom says that we do not leave the room without having prayed.
-.Okay, let's go.
She took my hand.
- we get out of bed and kneel, then we take our hands and close our eyes.
- okay.
We did it like that.
- Lord Jesus, thank you for lifting us up on this day. We all watch our day and march alongside us. Forgive the mistakes that we will commit. wake up on taty mimi and make her become uncle's wife and make mom let me eat lots of sweets today please my god. I know that for us you will always be there and you will never let us down. Amen!
I was moved by his prayer.
Such a little girl!
The weekend was And Monday, Marrion was going to bring his son home I couldn't wait to see him.
...To be continued.
