Alright snacks is ready!!!!!"Miss Clara squealed bringing a big bowl filled with cookies as the kids screamed in joy.
"Here,here gently guys"she chuckled helping Sophia sit properly as the kids rushed it placing some into their plates, munching on it.
Soon,the door opened jamming together with a bang as Angel walked in,her face swollen with tears.
"Angel baby...you're okay??"Clara asked which was totally ignored as Angel walked straight upstairs.
"Baby??"Clara called, dropping her fork as she rushed to her.
She walked to her door trying to opening it but was locked, "baby you need to open up,let's talk"Clara muttered behind closed doors.
"I don't want to talk to no one!!!"Angel screamed from inside.
Clara could tell she was crying which got her sighing,"alright then!,just make sure you come downstairs to eat okay??"She stated without getting a reply.
She sighed in finality as she joined the other kids in the dining, "mum is Angel okay??"Micheal questioned curiously.
"Ah,yes she is! Forget about her just eat your snack"She dismissed him immediately picking up her fork as she fed Sophia.
What could have happened today?- She thought inwardly,her mind wandering.
Beep beep beep!!!
They all heard a car horn.
"Dad is home!!!"They all squealed.
"Haha yes he is"she chuckled, "I'll be back sweethearts,let me get your dad in"she stated rushing out immediately.
It's pretty early -She muttered staring at her watch.
She rushed outside getting to the garage where Derrick had parked his car already. "Welcome"She smiled warmly as soon as he came out.
"Oh thanks"he replied back with a warm smile as she took his suitcase.
"How's work??"She questioned,"oh great,just a little stressful"he commented adjusting his tie as he closed the car door.
"Oh sorry about the stress tho.."
"How are you feeling now?"He questioned before she could finish her statement.
"Uhm I'm a bit better now"her cheek flushed red as she gazed to the ground which got him chuckling.
"Alright let's go inside"He smiled....
"How about the kids?"He questioned as they got to the door.
"They're eating some snacks"She responded opening the door.
"Daddy!!!!!"The kids screamed running up to him.
"Yo!!kids!!how are you all??"He opened his arms broadly as they all fell into his arm.
"We're fine"came Micheal's response.
"Where's Angel??"He asked.
"Probably sleeping or cry...."
"Uhm she's sleeping,she was pretty stressed out today while helping me out"Clara cut Micheal off before he could finish as she gave him a signal to keep shut.
"Oh I see..."Derrick mouthed.
*Alright kids let your daddy go to the room and change up okay??,you all can go back to the dinning"Clara dismissed them as they all disengaged.
"Alright mum"they responded in unison rushing back to their dessert.
Derrick smiles as he walked upstairs followed by Clara with his suitcase.
"Uhm when you're done having your bath,you can come downstairs for dinner"Clara smiled warmly after she had dropped the suitcase.
"Okay then"he replied unbuttoning his shirt as she rushed out immediately.
Clara rushed back to Angel's room in haste,"sweetheart,your daddy is back"She whispered getting no response in return.
"Angel??"she called out yet no response.
She sighed twisting the knob of the door as it opened immediately,she sighed in relieved moving in gently. "Sweetheart?",She called out walking to the bed where Angel laid.
"Are you okay?"She questioned.
"I'm not"She whispered inaudible whimpering,her voice shaking due to excess cry.
"What happened?"Clara questioned amused by her state.
"Mum am I not perfect??"she questioned,her voice revealing the pain in her heart as she adjusted herself on the bed sitting upright.
Clara hummed knowing the direction she was heading to.
"You had a boyfriend Angel?"Clara questioned in awe.
Angel gulped hard,her gaze slowly dropping, "I...I..."
"It's fine"Clara shunned her immediately,her eyes tightly closed as she sighed deeply before opening them.
She sat on the bed,very close to Angel "What really happened today at the get together?"She questioned.
"I met my boyfriend with my bestfriend kis...sing"Her voices teared up as fresh hot tears dropped down, "Mum I so much loved him,i tried doing anything to please him,I really tried..."
Clara smiled, "And did he reciprocate that love you offered??,or you were the one forcing things up??"Clara questioned again.
"I don't know,he always said he loves me"she answered cleaning off the cartarh off her nostril as they rolled down.
"And did he show any evidence that he did?"Clara questioned again.
"I don't know mum"She replied again.
Clara hummed,"Are you hungry??"She asked, Angel nodded in affirmation, "I couldn't eat anything today"She replied.
"Oh I see,I'll be back then,just don't overthink it okay?"Clara tried cheering her up as she cleaned her wet cheek.
"Okay mum"she nodded as Clara rushed out immediately.
"Dani!Dani"Clara called out immediately she was downstairs.
"Yes ma'am"Her maid rushed out of the kitchen, "uhm please set Mr Derrick's food and please help me take care of the kids tonight,make sure they bath before sleeping I would be busy tonight"Clara stated, "okay ma'am"Dani responded with a bow as Clara nodded walking straight to the kitchen.
She dished in some dessert into a plate and poured in some water into a cup before moving back to Angel's room.
Angel kept fidgeting the hem of the duvet,lost in thought.
"What are you thinking about?"Clara questioned placing the snack and cup of water on the lamp table before sitting next to her.
She flinched "Nothing mum"came her response, "you're sure??"Clara questioned again again.
"Yeah"She nodded tilting her head,"is that for me??"She questioned.
"Yeah you can have it"Clara responded with a smile.She stretched her hand placing it on the bed for Angel to have access to them.
"Mmm .."Angel hummed,her face brighting up,"Mum!it's delicious!!,how'd you make this???"She questioned.
"Well you refused to stay at home,so I ain't telling you....go goggle it"Clara responded with a smirk.
"Mum....not fair!!!!!"She whined,"Not my fault!"Clara responded back.
"I'll tell Dad you don't want to teach me"She pouted,"Go ahead then,just know you'll have to explain where you when to"clara smirk sheepishly.
"Muuuuummmm!"
"What???,I thought you wanted to report??,go ahead then"She stated.
"Ugh,fine!!! I'll learn it online tsk!"Angel stated in dissatisfaction.
"So are you gonna tell me what happened today??"Clara asked concerned.
"Well...my boyfriend cheated with my boyfriend"Angel explained her face becoming saddened.
"And you think he's worth a beautiful damsel like you??"Clara asked.
"Mum!! That guy is the crush of the whole school!!"Angel half yelled exclaiming.
"And you think that makes him superior over you because he cheated??"
"Not really tho"She buried her gaze once more to her snacks.
"I was telling you guys a story about my childhood some few days back,do you want to hear about my teenage life??"Clara questioned which got Angel ears spranging up.
"I thought I know about that already?"Angel questioned.
"And you think you know all?"Clara asked.
"Uhm at least most of them.."angel responded.
"Nope just a minor"Clara corrected.
"What do you mean Mom?"Angel asked.
Clara smiled holding her palm as she squeezed them gently.
"If I should tell you I aren't your mother,would you still believe me??"Clara asked.
"What?????"
