Inlove with the maid's son

“Do you think we should wake him, mom, you know he don’t really care about birthday celebration.” Said my brother who was I believe was standing next to my bed with the rest of my family deciding whether they should wake me or not. Truth be told, I have been awake for some time now, but I don’t want to open my eyes. Like seriously, they know how much I don’t like being bothered about things like this, but I think they really wants to celebrate my birthday this year since it’s my eighteen birthdays. “Lets’ just go, we will wish him well when he comes down for breakfast.” Obliviously that was from my sister, I believed she was dragged here because she doesn’t really care, and we are not that close. “No darling, this year owns needs to be a family thing, he’s now a young adult, we need to congratulate him.” “But we can still do that at the dinning” “Noo, it will mean a lot to him if we do it here, it has to be the first memory he has once he opens his eyes.” Really mom, me being awake for long now without opening my eyes has been quite a memory. If am being truthful here, I don’t really feel the need for this drama this morning. I just want to dress up for school. Oh god! I think I should just get up and get over with this. Slowly, I opened my eyes and as expected my family was just standing there stirring at me with their teeth on display as they smile to me like some baby that is laid on the hospital baby bed few minutes coming into this world. I smiled back at them rubbing my eyes like I had no idea of what is going on. “Happy birthday sweetheart, my mom said and hugged me.” Well mom its happy drained day, cause am already drain from the waiting, I thought as I smile, feeling the warmness from her body. “Happy birthday jeff!’ That was from my siblings; Lucky and Lia, as they bent over to give me a hug. This feels so good, I must accept the fact. It’s not that I totally hate celebrating birthdays, but I just don’t see it as necessary to be dramatic about. I can’t handle the treatment that comes with it. I have once witnessed how everyone in school would worship the celebrant as if its there last day on earth, I didn’t like it, it repulsed me. “Come on, freshen up let’s have a meal together, before I can leave for work”, mom said dragging me up from bed. Its already 7 am I guess, and my school bus will be dropping by to pick me up by 8 am and I should have been prepared by now if not for the drama that was display this morning that caved me to my bed. I guess there will be no morning music for me this morning as it’s a tradition for me to play music in my room every morning as I slowing prepare for school and of course I wake up early day by 5 am so I could enjoy every bit of my time before breakfast. Unlike my siblings who never join me for breakfast as they are still in bed sleeping by the time am gone for school. They must have been drag by my mom for them to be awake by this time. “Alright mom, you guys should get going, I will join soon’. Lucky pet my shoulder as they turn to leave. My dad didn’t join, of course I over head him telling my mom about his early flight for a business deal. My family runs a mall whish is one of the best in town and the richest among other business owners around. So, I would say we are well known in the society and in school and of course apart from me. Am not a shy person, but confident and calm, I just choose to be quite and reserved and what’s the crowd for anyways. If there’s one thing, I hate in this world is getting people attention. Unlike me, the other members of the family are well known in the society, and I just don’t want to be bothered. In school, I answer my mom family last name to avoid the attention, unlike my brother who has a lot of friends flocking around him like files cause of the benefits they get from being close. I have once witnessed his breakup with most of his girlfriend and I think they deserve it cause the brother I know would never hurt anyone’s feeling; they are just there for the money. Lucky is the only person in my family who am quite close to. Although our personality is quite different, we just click it off which we don’t even know how we manage to be that close enough. My parents are always busy with work and me seeing my mom this morning is quite a surprise, and I bet she wanted to make it up to me for all her absent in the family. Another person who seems to be close to me is the family house help, Mrs. Sabrina. She lives in the courtyard with her family whom I have never met before except for her husband who cut the flowers once in a blue moon and she have been serving us since I was 10 yrs. I took a quick bath and hurried down for breakfast with my family already sited waiting for the birthday boy, who’s not even interested. As expected, the dinning was filled up with foods and drink. The birthday cake was quite a eye catch unlike the other cake used to celebrate my formal birthdays. The room was filled with the aroma of food that I nearly throw up. Mrs. Sabrina came out from the kitchen with another plate on her hand. I know there plan this morning is to kill me with food, but I think I need to play some trick to escape from here. Am not in the mood for all this food. “Mom, I don’t think I will stay for the celebration, I need to be in school early for some quiz”. “Baby, there’s still time before your school bus drop by, just relax”, my mom persuades me. “Jeff, we all know you are trying to run away, my brother said as they all laugh”. This people are trying to run by battery this early morning before I could get to school. “Happy birthday dear, I wish you a new chapter of life, Mrs. Sabrina wished me as she drops the plate she was holding on the table. “Thanks ma, I really appreciate. “Happy birthday jeff, came a strange face standing beside Mrs. Sabrina. To be sincere, my jaw nearly drops from the site in view. Snap out of it jeff, don’t disgrace yourself in front of this portrait. The guy Infront of me was something I could wish for if I should make up a birthday wish. He looks so creamy and gosh! This guy is handsome. With his hair lying beautifully on his shoulder, I see every lady or guy dying to have him. That sunshade is doing wonders on his face for right now, he looks so graceful. “This my son, Conan, he’s been staying with his grandma in the countryside but will be staying with us from now. “Nice to meet you all, am please to be in you guys’ presence. Please don’t say that cutie, this birthday worth it with presence here so I should be more pleased. “You are welcome, dear, just let me know if you will be needing our help, mom assured him as my siblings smile at him nodding their head. For me I just sat there stirring without taking my eyes of. What a birthday gift! was the only thing that came to mind.
