The Rourke Reckoning

Siblings rivalry

Quing pov

I walked down the stairs leading to the dining room, I glanced at the table when I got down the stairs and saw the chef setting the table for dinner with mom walking towards the table with a plate of fruits.

Quing hurry and come take a seat,dinner is ready mom said as soon as she sighted me

Ok I simply replied

Lucille?? Mom called out

Yes ma’am she answered

Bring the dishes. Mom orders

Ok ma’am be right back she replies

Please hurry mom added

I took a fork and started eating from the plates mom dropped on the table

You’re really hungry.. huh? she asked making to sit down

Really hungry I said with a serious look on

Not long ma’am Lucille arrived with the dishes and we were served pasta and scrambled eggs

Come join us Lucille mom beckoned her to join

No ma’am I’ve eaten she replied simply

Alright then, I think it’s time for mine.Mom said

Sure ma’am excuse me she said and left

She’s really nice I said amidst the silence

I agree with you. Mom supported while filling my glass with orange juice

Awwwn so caring. I said

Of course and that’s why you can’t trade me for anything else dear

I didn’t say that I chipped in

I was taught no talking while eating and I guess everyone here passed through that same lesson a voice said in the background

Ishmael?? Mom called

Yes mom, I’m back

Welcome bro I said standing up

Sigh… such ababeeee my bro said staring at me

What’s that? I said looking confused

Everyone come see, I’ve got a sexy sis mann he said still staring at me with smiles

I know, right? I said smiling with my brows raised

She got it from me mom said

Loudest purr I said giving mom an high five

It’s okay y’all should eat and mom please we need to change her wardrobe we can’t have her wearing all this fitted wears or do you want teen suitors too He said sarcastically

Ohh… please not today am not ready to argue with you I said pulling him closer

No change of clothes please, let her. Mom said staring at us both

I was just suggesting tho he said and smiled

Go continue with your dinner Quing he said and let go of me

I wanna have you for dinner. I said seductively

Is that what you’ve been telling all those young guys, ‘I wanna have you for dinner’ he added with funny body movements

Enough already let’s go continue with dinner, it’s late and Quing needs to sleep early mom stated and we all sat down

Who said you can join? I suddenly asked my brother who was already seated

Quing let him mom said

Ishmael, where are you coming back from? Mom asked

Yea we didn’t see you ever since we came back, I thought of asking the chef but I forgot I added

Montes birthday he retorted

You didn’t care to inform me??mom asked again

I didn’t feel like going,but he texted a second time and I had to, besides I texted you mom

Sure?

Yes mom and I’m grown up already. I’m done with school am not like Quing

You sure don’t act like one. I said looking away

Ohh wow… he said in a surprised tone

There’s nothing wrong with what mom said, just let her know when you’re leaving the house and to where, it’s not that hard yuuno. I said with a serious look on

Quing it’s ok. It’s not safe outside there Ish, I am just watching out for you. Mom said

Well I can take care of myself and what do you even mean by it’s not safe there, you keep saying that like forever . Brother said sounding pissed

You’re the only son of Mr Rourke, the heir Ish you need to be more careful, the main reason I asked you to get married

Oh please mom not tonight. He said

I ain’t ready for that. He added

You’ll be once I find one for you. Mom reprimanded

Get ready to give her to dad, cause I'm not taking her. He responded

Oh never. Mom said

Speaking of dad, when is he coming back?Ishmael asked

A month from now, who knows. Mom said sounding not sure

I’m missing him already. I said

Same here, he doesn’t even pick calls anymore. Ishmael added

Let’s just eat before the food gets cold, no talking please mom warned

Do I need to cover ma’am Lucille’s food in the blood of Jesus? Cause she’s a great cook and her food needs no prayers

I agree bro

You better learn how to cook from her. He said pointing the cutlery at me

Shhhh… table manners I said cutting him off

After dinner, Quing and her mom cleared the table. Taking the leftovers to the Kitchen for the chefs to do justice to. They all bid goodnight to each other and retire to their various rooms.

In Quing’s room, she tries fixing her bed when she hears a knock on her door.

Come in she yelled

Is there a reason for yelling?? Ishmael questioned

Why are you here?Quing asked

Sorry for disturbing you , can I get your mouth paste, I can’t go downstairs to get a new one. He requested

So you came to beg for mine. Quing said with her brows up

Call it whatever you want to but please can I have your paste??

Wait a minute. She said and entered her bathroom and came out with a paste giving it to her brother

Thanks he said and ruffles her hair

Hey stop…Quing said getting his hands off

her hair

Goodnight sweetheart he said and ran out

Such a trouble She said and scoffed turning to her bed with her phone and laid in

She went through her social media handles and nothing seemed to interest her and so She quickly turned off her phone,said her night prayers and drifted off to sleep.
