"...You've never liked the neighbors from the start, right?" Her Mother asked.
Turning to look at her Mother her as of bewildered, little Temi exclaimed;
"What like?" She asked.
"Pfft! Oh please!" Little Temi said as she rolled her eyeballs.
Her mother laughed.
"All we just have are enemies, not even neighbors, enemies...period!" Temi concluded.
Nodding he head, her Mother said;
"Alright, Temi, let's just serve the food, you're Dad would be here any minute!"
And just like that, the 'Ding Dong!' of the bell was heard, rushing to towards the door, little Temi jumped over the sofas as her Mother shouted from the kitchen as she got busy.
"Careful Temi, don't fall!"
"Yes, Mummy!" Temi's tiny voice could be heard a sheet ran towards the for, opened it, and there stood her father.
"Daddy!"
Little Temi's voice was heard by her mother in the kitchen as she arranged their dinner.
Going down on one knee as he opened his arms wide, Temi's Dad swooped her in his arms up from the floor as he gave her a very warm hug.
"Hm, is my little Princess back from school? Temi's Father asked once he let go of her.
Bobbing her head up and down, her Father feared it might fall off, Temi replied;
"Uh-huh!"
"Your school's on-time today...!" Temi's Father said as he frowned slightly as he placed his hands in his pockets.
"What time is it?"
Temi's Father asked as he took out one of his hands from his pockets to check his Bremont Supermarine S302 watch for the hour of the day they were in.
One look at his watch, and he exclaimed....but not too loud though.
"Oh, God...!" He exclaimed.
"What's wrong Daddy?" Temi asked.
"It's the time...!"
"What time is it?" Little Temi was a little annoyed that had Venn because of the time, her Father had shouted like that.
But what surprised her more was the 'fact' that made him surprised...
"It's ten past two...!"
Little Temi pursed her lips as she moved her eyes to the left and then to the right before saying;
"Yes Dad, it's ten past two, what's wrong with that...?"
"What's wrong with that is why somebody isn't telling me why she's back home and not still at school at this time!" Her Father's voice was sharp.
For some time, little Temi and her Father stared at each other, with her Father's hand s still o his pockets with his eyes narrowed at her.
"Did you skip school?" Her Father asked as he looked at her intently.
"No...!"
Little Temi frowned as she said 'No'.
"Did you miss the bus?"
"No!"
"Did you arrive late to school?"
"No...!"
"No?" Her Father asked bewildered.
"Why no? What's no?" Her Father asked.
Temi started giggling.
"Why are you giggling? This is not funny, this is a serious matter we're talking about here!"
"No Daddy, I know that you might think it's serious, and...!"
"To me, it is!" Her father cut her short.
Temi giggled again.
"I know, I know...!" Temi said.
"Did you get expelled?" Her Father asked her very keenly.
Stunned, little Temi widened her eyes as she stopped talking.
"DAD!!!" Little Temi screeched.
"Temi!" Her father called back.
"What...?" Temi asked.
"Did you get expelled?" Her Father asked again.
"No...!"
"How true is what you're telling me right now?" Her Father asked as he narrowed his eyes at her.
"Of course I'm telling you the truth right now, why wouldn't I be...?" Temi said as she raised her hands in the air as if to prove her point.
"Prove it!" Her father said.
Little Temi was stunned.
Frowning, she asked;
"What?"
"I said, prove it!" Her Father repeated.
Little Temi stared at her Dad as he studied him.
Narrowing her eyes at him and then bringing them back to normal, she pouted, and then, shaking her head in negation, she turned and headed for the kitchen.
"Hey, where are you going?" Her father called back.
Turning back to look at her Dad, she headed towards the kitchen as she ran.
"Hey, get back here!" Her Dad shouted as he ran after her.
Little Temi made he way who the kitchen as she ran to hide directly behind her Mother who had two plates of food in her hands.
"Whoa, dear!" Her Mother said.
"Easy!"
Immediately, her father was in the kitchen with his hand on his chest as he panted.
"Hey, dear!" Her mother greeted.
Nodding, still panting heavily with his hand in his chest and his other hand on his hips, Temi's Father could only nod as he managed to say;
"Hello, darling!"
Walking in the direction of the door, still panting though, Temi's Father rested on the frame of the door and then turned to look at little Temi.
Bringing his two fingers close to his eyes, he slowly turned then back in her direction and he narrowed his eyes at her, and then pouted...
As if to tell her that he's watching her.
When her mother had greeted her Father, she followed his movements to the door and as he rested on it, her gaze didn't leave him.
When he had brought his two fingers out to her, she grinned as she stuck out her pinkie tiny tongue at him.
Her father raised his eyebrows at her as he later narrowed them and then, bringing his arm out towards her, he clicked them at her, as if to say;
'Don't worry...I'll get you!'
And then, straightening himself up, he walked towards her Mother.
Seeing that he was coming in her direction, little Temi shrieked as she turned and ran away from behind her Mother.
"Temi, why did you shriek like that?" Her Mother and, as her husband came from behind and hugged her, placing a kiss on her neck.
Turning to face her husband, she returned the kiss, but this time in his lips as she hugged him and mumbled;
"Hm, dear, you're not supposed to do that, she's in the room with us!"
Biting and chewing on her ear, Temi's Father murmured;
"What's there?" He asked.
"She'll also get married someday...she'll experience it sooner or later...!"
"Well, until that time comes!" Temi's Mother interrupted him to say she placed her head on his shoulder and they hugged.
All the love and actions that transpired between Temi's parents were all seen by Temi as she exclaimed;
"Yuck!"
That was when her parents turned to look at her. They had forgotten themselves in the process of making love to themselves, but thank God it reach the extreme...
As they turned both parents smiling asked;
"What's 'yuck'?" Her parents both asked at the same time.
Shaking her head and twisting her mouth like as if she had tasted something bitter, little Temi said;
"What's yuck is the fact that you guys are doing all these your 'love' stuff, in front of your kid...!"
"It's unreasonable!" She added.
Both parents frowned.
"Unreasonable?" They both asked.
Temi nodded.
Yeah, and the part where you guys were hugging...!" Temi paused.
Her parents looked at each other and then at her as they had a look of amusement on their faces.
"What's wrong with that...?" Both parents asked.
"What's wrong with that, is the fact that 'you' Dad...!" She said as she pointed at her Father.
Her Father was stunned, even her mother had a look of surprise on her face.
"Me...?" Her Father asked as he pouted at himself, but was cut short.
"Yes, you...!" Little Temi said as she pointed at getting Daddy.
"You Dad, you...!"
"That's tight you!" She said again.
"What's up, already?" Her Father asked with a smile on his face.
"Dad, do you know how to hug at all?" Little Temi asked.
