MY SEXY MR. RIGHT

Chapter 10

Melissa waited until Rosita had left the room before she stood up from the chair which was seating and went over to the table where Rosita had placed the food.

And began eating, she wasn’t surprised over what Rosita told her about her parents not being back room work.

Because her parents has always left the house early and come back home late at night, but what upsets her was that they knew that she was sick, but decided to still choose the welfare of their business above her.

After she finished eating and was certain that she was satisfied, she took a glass of water and tossed her pill into her mouth as she drank so water to send it down.

She went back to her computer and worked for some minutes before shutting the system down.

Melissa went over to her bed mumbled a silent prayer as she went to sleep.

It was two minutes into sleeping when Melissa was awoken by loud voice quarrelling about something just down her room. She stood up and went to her door so she could figure out what the noise was all about. As she placed her ears at the door and eavesdropped.

“Why would you sale of my share’s in the company,” she heard her mum screaming.

As their voices becoming clearer as they walked up the stairs, and suddenly stopped just right at her door.

“That’s because you aren’t managing the company well!”

You have been after your own afire and how to run your own company and have suddenly forgotten the afire of our own company,” his dad scolded.

Melissa was still at the door listen, she was some scared because she hasn’t heard her mum and dad argue this much.

“You don’t walk away from me when I am talking,” her mum yelled, as they began to step out of the spot where they stood at Melissa’s door.

“What do you want me to do? I should stand and watch you talk to me like that!”

“You don’t even have time to take care of your daughter Melissa, can’t you see we are make her loss track of her life, I want you to also have time and take care of our daughter and see that she have a better future,” Melissa heard her dad saying, and was shocked that her dad actually thought about her.

“And what would be your responsibility?” her mum shouted.

Melissa was still at the door but she didn’t hear her dad responding to her mum’s question, all of a sudden she heard their room door slammed.

Melissa went back to her bed quietly, she just lay there for some minutes facing up and looking at her room ceiling when she heard a footstep approaching her room.

Melissa quickly turned sideways and used the duvet to cover her body as she closed her eyes and pretended she was asleep.

Her room door opened but she didn’t know who among her parents it was because her eyes were closed. The person who walked into her room came straight to her bedside and sat down at the edge of her bed, and just then Melissa realized that it was her father because of his cologne.

But she still did not open her eyes; she has always known it that her father has more compassion towards her unlike her, so sometime she wonder if she was the person who actually gave bath to her.

“Hello sweet pea, I know you have always think I don’t love and take care of you, I am sorry if I’ve made you feel that way, but I promise that from now onward I will try to be a better father to you and make sure you have the best out of life.”

“I hope you are better, I can’t wake you up seeing that you are fast asleep already I will come check up on by morning and make sure you are okay.”

“Do have a good night rest, and I love you,” Melissa heard her dad said, and gave her a peck at her forehead.

As he stood up and walked out of the room, closing the door gently so she won’t wake up.

Melissa waited for some minutes making sure that her dad was long gone before opening her eyes.

“I love you too dad,” she muttered.

“She has always known that her dad loved her but maybe he doesn’t know how to express it.

Melissa felt happy for the first time knowing that her dad actually cared about her, she couldn’t remember when last her came into her room and spoke to her so softly.

After much more her mind drifts back to Leo and how worried he would be if Catherine told him that she was sick.

“I will go check up on him tomorrow,’ she thought and relaxed her body very well in a position that would make her comfortable to sleep, as she slept off.

Leo was outside close to one hour, feeling the late night breeze that soothe his skin, he wanted to stay outside longer but his body was beginning to get numb from sleep.

He stood up from the pavement and walked back into his room and jumped to the warmth of his bed, closed his eyes and slept off.

Flora and her friend Kim, was spotted seating at an expensive restaurant as the waiter approached them with a tray of champagne and glasses, he place the tray on the table and opened the bottle as she poured out the liquor into the glass.

“Do enjoy your drinks,” the waiter smiled at them and left there presences.

“Girl friend, what are your plans for your 19th birthday?” Kim asked.

“Well, I am going to make it classy, I will send out invite to my friend, and I know they will definitely turn up from every part of the country,” Flora said sipping her drink.

“What about Alex, is he coming too?” Kim asked.

“No, I am not sending him an invite, not after what he did to me.”

“What, I thought you forgave him?” Kim rolled her eyes at Flora.

“Sure I did, but I am not getting back with him.”

“How could he make out with our friend Lucy, for crying out loud he cheated on me?” Flora points out.

“Yes I no he did, but you know Alex is a very handsome guy and every girl would want to be with me, not minding his cheating attitude.

“Look, I know he did some wrong to you which hurt your feelings so bed, but if I were to be you, I wouldn’t let him sleep away from me,” Kim said grabbing Flora’s hand and making her face him.

“You both are our crowned queen and king, and you would be handing over the crown soon, you both can’t continue like this at the schools end of year party coming up,” Kim said, lifting up her glass of wine and sipping from it.

“You are the schools best couple goal.”

Flora stayed silent for a while and ponders about what Kim just said, everyone in school has always think that they are the best couple, but she can’t keep up with the pretence and allow Alex treat her like a piece of s**t.

“Okay, I have heard what you said, but if he tries something like this next time, I will break up with him for real,” Flora finally said.

“That my best friend, I love you best friend,” Kim said excitedly.

There food was served as they began eating and planed for Flora’s birthday party coming up next week.

“Have made out the list of things you would need for your party?”

“No, I haven’t done that yet, but I will make out the list when I get home later in the day,” Flora replied.

“How are you taking your parent’s divorce process,” Kim asked her.

“Please can we not talk about that,” Flora said, putting down her spoon and drank some water.

She just remind silent and didn’t touch her food again, Kim who was eating noticed that she wasn’t eating again, and asked what the problem was.

“I just lost my appetite,” Flora said getting up from her seat and picked up her handbag which was on the table.

“Huh, where are you going to?” Kim looked up at her.

“I am heading out; you can come with me, or stay here and finish eating,” Flora said to her as she made her way to the door of the restaurant.

“What,” Kim exclaimed, as she watched flora leaving.

She stood up immediately and went after her.

Flora was already at the door about to go out when the waiter who served them walked up to her.

“Excuse me Miss,” He waved at her, and met her half way.

“What?”

“You haven’t paid your bills.”

“Don’t you know me, add it to my father’s Monthly Bills,” Flora snapped, taking another step as the door to the restaurant opened and she stepped outside.

She walked to her car, and pressed the keys which was in her hands and the door to the car opened, Flora entered and was about driving out when Kim tapped at the other side of the door.

Flora saw that she was the one and unlocked the door so she could open it from outside and enter.

“I thought you wanted to stay back,” Flora teased.

“Why would I want to do that?” Kim snapped.

“Why do you get upset that easily?” Kim asked.

Flora didn’t answer the question as she started the car and drove off.

They got to a point at the city and Kim asked her to stop the car that she was getting down at that point.

“Why are you stopping here?” Flora asked her.

“Are you sure you would be safe in this neighborhood,” Flora asked her.

“Sure, I will call my driver to come pick me up,” Kim said.

“Have a nice day,” she stepped out of the car and shut the door.

“See you around,” Flora mumbled.

She started the car again and drove off as Kim watched and waved at her until she was out of sight.

She exhaled and took a U turn to a lonely road and walked for about Twenty minutes until she gets to a block which was not all that fancy, it has this sign “PISS OFF” painted on it with different shades of paint.

She pressed the button and spoke into the macro phone on the wall.

“It’s me Kim,” open up.

Just immediately the metal door opened and she walked in climbing the stairs down to her own section in the building.

When she got in she saw her mum at the small kitchen that was attached to their sitting room.

“Hello mum,” Kim greets and went straight to her room; she placed her handbag on the bed and was undressing when her mum knocked at her door.

“Dinner is ready,” she said.

“I am not hungry,” Kim said.

“Go away.”

“Fine, if you say so,” her mum replied, and walked away.

Kim finished undressing and went into her bathroom to have herb bath.

Kim has always wished she came from a rich home, she had always pretends to have come from a rich home in school, she brags about a lot of things about herself, when in the actual sense she is from a poor home, her parents divorced when she was Eight and she remembered her mum telling her dad that she don’t need him in their lives any more, her dad moved to Taxes and got married to another woman who was very rich.

Her dad had to start working at his new wife’s company, and made quite a lot for himself, when he asked to come back into Kim Life and take care of her school, her mum and refused and said she can take care of their daughter herself.

Kim mum runs three different jobs and struggles to pay the bill, it was when Kim turned eighteen that she went to look for her dad and make him agree to pay her fees into a good school, which he was so glad to do, because it made him get closer to his daughter

“When her mum found out, she was disappointed but had nothing to do, because Kim was now an adult and knows what’s best for her.

Kim at one point Left her mum to go Live with her dad’s new family, but come back because his wife wasn’t all that tolerant unlike her own mum.

As each day passes she wished she could go back there, and live this ghetto she and her mum were staying.

She would soon be through with high school but nobody had found out that her parents aren’t rich as she calmed they were, not even her best friend Flora, and she wish to keep it that way.

She has always told Flora that she was staying with her Aunty because her parents live in the state. When she was asked by Flora to take her to her auntie’s house where she lives, she always make excuses, with that Flora gave up asking.

Kim finished having her bath and went to bed, but sudden she was awaken by a faint noise coming from the kitchen, she looked at her table clock seeing that it was morning at she had just slept for an hour judging from when she slept.

Kim got out of bed to go check out what it was that was making such noise because she was scared and knew that her mum would be asleep by that time.

She opened her room door slowly and tiptoed into the sitting room, the kitchen was directly facing the sitting room and one could see inside the kitchen from there, she walked quietly to the edge of the kitchen where the switch to the kitchen bulb was, and turned on the light she was thrown in awe over what she saw

“Mum!” Kim called out.

Her mum who was lying naked at the kitchen counter turned immediately pulled up her night gown sharply so it covered part of her body, still revealing her tights.

Kim’s mouth was still opening in shocked when Joe looked up at her as he zipped his trousers.

“Hello, Kim,” He smiled.

“I didn’t know you were home.”

“I hate you both!” she shouted at left to her room, feeling so bad.

“You don’t have to say that to her,” Her mum snapped at Joe as she rushed after Kim.

Kim got to her room and was about shutting the door behind when her she saw her mum bumping into her as well.

“Baby I am sorry,” her mum said as she followed her into the room.

“Mum, what are you sorry about,” Kim snapped, as she moved to her bed and sat down.

Her mum went over to the bed where she sat, bent down closer to her and spoke softly.

“I know you weren’t supposed to see me like that, and I am so sorry for that,” she said remorsefully.

Kim didn’t say a word.

“Please you have to accept Joe, because he is going to be your step father soon.”

“That man can never be my step father, I don’t care what you both have, but I won’t be part of it,” Kim stood up angrily and went over to her window side looking through the window.

“Why do you hate him that much?” her mum asked sharply standing up from her position.

“That’s because you left dad for that man, and I can never like him.”

“And please try to keep your shits privet next time,” Kim snapped.

“Stop it Kim!” her mum shouted.

“You are becoming disrespectful,” she said leaving the room in anger.

Kim heard her door banged as she turned around and walked back to her bed, happy that her mum had left.

She was so angry that she decided to go spend the weekend at Flora’s place the next day since it was Saturday just to get away from her mum and her annoying boyfriend.

Kim lay down on the bed and tried sleeping.

When her mum returned to the sitting room she saw Joe sitting down on the couch trying to light his cigarette.
