Vanessa
After getting directions to the bathroom from I ran into the bathroom. I didn't even bother showering, I just put on my clothes.
Well, not all of them, if you know what I mean.
I carried my shoes in one hand, grabbed my phone and managed to balance my car keys in the other.
I raced down the stairs; surprisingly the house was sparkling clean, there were no traces of the wild party from last night. I headed to the first door I saw, I prayed it was the front door as I opened it. Luckily it was, because I found myself outside the building.
Now where is my car?
I'm pretty sure I came to this goddamn party/house with my car.
I searched desperately trying to find my red G-wagon and luckily, I found it beside the row of marigold flowers. I scurried to the direction of my car, I noticed there was a scratch by the side.
Fuck! not my baby, oh well, I will face that later.
I hopped in and drove off. I checked my cell for the time and it was 10:16am.
I have just 1hour 46minutes. I can make it before she arrives. I can and I will.
With that I stepped on the accelerator, in no time I was driving on full speed. After spending what seemed like hours on the road, I finally made it home. I quickly parked and ran into the my house barefooted.
Yeah I know I look mad, but trust me I'm not.
If you knew how much trouble I would get in if mom comes home before me, you would literally cry!
"Good morning miss." the receptionist greeted me, but I ignored her greeting and made my way to the elevator.
I tapped my foot repeatedly, huffing and puffing in annoyance waiting for the elevator to stop. At last it finally did, I ran down the hallway straight to the door, pushed it and scuttled in.
I was met with ten pairs of eyes, none resembling my mother's. Though, they looked at me up and down, looking really confused. Nana quickly dismissed the girls and walked up to meet me.
"Has mom arrived?" I asked impatiently, stretching my neck above her head to see if I could see her anywhere.
"No dear, she hasn't. In fact she has up to an hour before she lands," she replied.
Hearing that made my heart swelled in joy. I pulled Nana into an embrace, I squealed and breathed in relief.
I can finally breathe.
Thank you lord for saving me!
I promise to go to church early on Sunday.
"Too tight," Nana said as she escaped my bear hug. "Plus, you stink and you look hideous,"
I took a look at my reflection through my phone's screen. I looked terrible, my make up was dried up making my face sort of wrinkled, my mascara was running down my cheeks and my my lipstick was smudged all around the corners of my mouth. If anything I looked like 'the joker' from Batman.
"By the way, where were you last night?" she asked me.
I shuffled uncomfortably on my feet to that question. Instead, I flashed her my award-winning smile showcasing my white straight set of tooth, hoping she would let me get away with it.
This better work.
I continued smiling innocently, until I felt my teeth would break off.
"That's not gonna work on me, young lady," she reprimanded.
I sighed, for a second I thought it worked.
Guess I was wrong.
"Sorry, Nana, but can I go freshen up. I promise to tell you everything after, okay?" I pleaded with her.
"Okay, but be quick," she said in a firm tone.
"Yes ma," I playfully saluted.
"One thing, please don't inform my mom about this," I begged but she shook her head, displeased.
"No, I have to, if not, you would continue this behaviour of yours," she told me.
"Please, I wouldn't. Just believe me Nana, this is the first time I've stayed out without permission, and it was a total accident. I promise it won't happen again," I begged
She shook her head. "No, I am not listening to your excuses,"
"Please!" I pouted and pulled the best puppy dog eyes the world has ever seen.
"Fine." She huffed in annoyance.
Ha! I know i'm irresistible.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I squealed hugging her.
I pulled away and hurried to my room to get dressed with Lily behind me.
I glared at Maria as I passed because she was sending me a nasty look.
Face your cleaning girl.
The day had just started, and it already felt like a long day.
