A LOVE TO DOMINATE

Chapter 6

“Mmmmm” she cleared her throat trying to distract Donald from looking any further. “I am fine.”

“Honestly your eyes are swollen and if you get to work looking this way, it sure won’t be nice.” He said shaking his head.

She immediately turned to the standing mirror close to the bed to take a look herself. “Are you serious.” She starred into the mirror countless times while touching the sides of her eyes with her right hand. “It sure looks bad.”

“I told you but you can do whatever you wish, i don’t care.” He said moving to the bathroom.

‘But I need to summit those files today.’ Linda said in her head as she reached for her phone that she drop on the bed due to the shock of seeing Donald on the same bed as her.

She checked the time on her phone as she looked around for her hand bag which she had come in with the previous night.

Racheal got home so early today hoping to see his brother Donald at home as she was dying to have a comprehensive breakfast with her entire family as it has been a long time since that happened. After Donald had left the country to go study abroad it’s really been rare to see her parents seated on the dinning table with her for any family meal.

She had gotten off work on time this morning with a lot of excitement and a million and one thoughts on how it was going to feel at the dining table. She offed her car engine as she headed straight to the dinning room with so much smiles hoping to see everyone seated around the table and waiting for her, she had rehearsed a thousand ways of apologizing for keeping them waiting if she saw them sitted already.

“Good morning everyone!” Her voiced echoed as she walked into the dining room so surprised to see empty chairs and a well setup breakfast table. “Florence! Florence!!” She called out as an elderly woman in her mid 60’s came out.

Madam Florence has been their senior maid for over 26 years. She had loved and cared for the Donald and Rachael as though they were hers even when their mom paid less attention to them due to her constant business trips and engagements. Rachael had never had any respect for madam Florence as she was used to calling her by her first name on several occasions.

“Yes miss Rachael, you called.” She said standing two steps away from Rachael.

“Where are my parents and brother? Why are they not here already and why is there only but a few fruits on that table?”

“Your mom left couple of minutes back and your dad is upstairs. But I haven’t seen Donald yet, is he back to the country?” She asked with so much surprise in her voice.

“What do you mean? Did donald not come back to this house last night?” She said with wide eyes. “Why am I even asking you that, get out of my way and make sure to add more fruits to that table!” She said angrily as she ran upstairs to her fathers room.

She opened the door after two knocks on the door. Her father, Mr Rogers was still lying on the bed with his glasses on as he went through his iPad.

“Good morning dad.” She said walking towards his bed.

“Good morning my princess.” Mr Rogers stretch his arms to hug her as she leaned on the bed. “Why are you looking this way? Hope you are been treated well over there at work cause I heard you haven’t been home for the past four days.” He asked running his hands on her hair.

“Dad I am fine. And work is fine.” She paused and rolled her eyes as she continued speaking. “It’s not like you and mom care whether or not I am home.”

He sat up right he pulled her closer to himself. “ why would you say sure a thing my princess. Didn’t you get the gifts I sent to you?”

“Please dad that is not why I am here.” She looked at her dad’s face. “I was expecting to see everyone seated around the dining table for breakfast.”

He chuckled as he adjusted the iPad in his hand. “I haven’t set my eyes on your brother since I got a message of him getting back into the country. And it’s not like a family breakfast or dinner is going to help pull that brain of he’s together.”

“Dad! Don’t say that.” She jerked off from his arms.

“What? If you are hungry you can go have breakfast or how about having breakfast with daddy alone?” He said with a smile.

“No dad! You know what, never mind.” Rachael stood up as she made her way to the door.

“Rachael!” He called out as she walked out of the room without any response. “What did I say wrong?” He muttered as he picked up his cell phone on the bed to dial secretary Lewis line.

Rachael went straight to her room as she dialed Donald’s line. He picked up almost immediately.

“Hello”

“Where the hell are you!” She yelled as soon as she heard his voice.

Donald took the phone off his ears for a while before placing it back as her voice was so loud over the phone. “Are you okay?”

“Answer the damn question. When is the rift between you and dad going to end?”

He giggled. “There’s actually no rift between us and I am on my way home so you need to chill okay.”

“10 minutes brother. I am going to give you just 10 minutes to get here and I don’t care if you are my elder brother at this point.” She hanged up, threw her phone on the bed as she took off her shirt buttons.

“Hello, Rachael.” He looked at his phone as he noticed she already dropped the call. “Is she still a kid or what?” He chuckled as he made a U-turn at the intersection.
