Episode 25
With all the dramaâs around me, from Vivian who had finally forgiven Kola to Dency who had stopped being friendly with me claiming that i was putting too much pressure on her to forgive her father. I hadnât even realized that the week was far spent, it was already friday, the day we were expecting Kelvinâs younger brother.
I had supervised the maids who tidied up the room the previous day, i made sure everything was in their perfect shape. I even put fresh flowers in his room which wasnât Nigerian-like, i didnât even know why i was doing it, i guess i was trying to impress the first member of Kelvinâs family that i would meet.
I was off to work by 8:30AM, it was the last day of the African Fashion Summit and i will be working down the runway with a popular Nigerian Designer Temmie Black âGirl powerâ new clothing collection.
I got to work and Dency just said âgood morningâ to me and walked away, i ignored her, knowing she will come around, she was only fighting the desire to forgive her dad.
The show ended quiet late, around 6PM, it was the final day, so there were lots of talks, and finally the interviews cos the hall was packed with reporters.
I got home really, really exhausted, the whole house was silent, meaning that all the workers in the house has retired for the night, i pushed the door and it gave way and i entered and went straight to my room. I met Kelvin lying down, i tiptoed to the bathroom, not wanting to disturb his sleep.
I came out few minutes later after taking a warm shower.
I met Kelvin with his laptop when i came back into the room.
âHey baby, welcome backâ he said to me without taking his eyes off his computer screen. I noticed that his voice sounded like he was troubled or unhappy and his mood wasnât anything to write home about.
âDid anything happen to his brotherâ
my chest instantly tightened up when that thought came to my mind, first of all there was nothing unusual in the house to indicate that anyone came to visit from abroad.
âIs anything wrongâ i asked him
âno, nothing , why did you ask?â
ânever mind. Where is your brother, hasnât he arrived yet?â
This time around he looked at me.
âHe has, i sent my driver to pick him at the airport by 4 PM, heâs been in this house now for two hoursâ he said and hissed.
I ignored the tone of his voice.
âwhy isnât there any indication that your young brother is aroundâ i asked.
âwhat do you mean?â
âi mean, if you didnât want to throw a welcome party, a special dinner wonât hurt your egoâ
âIs he the president or whatâ he asked me slightly raising his voice on me.
âi get it, there is a kind of bad blood existing between you and your bro but donât you think you should keep that aside and aleast welcome him properlyâ i said trying to make him reason with me but he flared up instead.
âwelcome him properly? For what? Did i invite himâ he said angrily.
âam sorryâ i said and moved closer to him putting my hands over his shoulder and our progesterone and testosterone hormone took over.
I woke up the next morning feeling weak with love marks all over my body.
I got out of bed just as i heard, the door opposite ours; Samâs room, open.
I walked to the bathroom and freshen up and stepped out feeling fresh in my loosed skirt and a baggy top.
It was a saturday, meaning no work nor outing till evening.
Kelvin was still sleeping, so i left to the sitting room.
I met sam there, with his back towards the door.
âHelloâ i said when i got closer.
I could see his dark, luscious hair from behind, there were wavy lines in it, making it appear better.
âHy, goodmorningâ he replied without turning back.
âAm Becky, nice to meet youâ i said without going closer.
He turned towards me and i stepped back in awe.
Kelvin was a learner compared to his brother when it comes to look.
His thick eyebrows like that of Drake, thick and long lashes like they were fake and his shiny olive brown skin colour coupled with those eyes that couldnât be called perfect, perfect was an understatement.
âUhm, any problemâ he asked me.
I mentally kicked myself for acting foolish in his presence.
âno, nothing at allâ
âwell, your mouth was open a while ago, and i thought there was something wrongâ he said with a thick american accent.
âsorry about that, what do you want for breakfastâ i asked moving closer to him.
âHello, whatâs that in his handsâ i asked myself.
âOmellete and a hot cup of tea would be niceâ
âalright, what do you have in your handsâ
âA Bibleâ he replied like it was the most normal thing to say.
The last time i had seen a Bible was about 7 months ago.
Now i understand why Kelvin doesnât like him, Kelvin wasnât a religious person at all, he wasnât even a bench warmer talk more of being born again.
âAny probsâ he asked me drawing my attention again.
âno, nothingâ
i turned to walk away and i saw Kelvin standing behind us with folded arms and anger written all over his face.
