Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

ARIYA.....

" OMG! ma'am this is something else. This is truly an excellent meal" I deep my two fingers in and out of the dish again .." I've never tasted this before and it's super good" .

Mehn she cooks wehh better than my mum.i should eat Cameroonian traditional meals more often, they are so good. I couldn't help but eat my delicious strange meal faster than I imagined soon my plate is almost empty and Ethan's is still half to go. How embarrassing.

Well I try to slow down so we can eat at same pace . But it's not my fault , I really like this ACHU . We finish up pretty soon and want to say good bye to ma'am Su before I leave.

" Thank you soo much ma'am Su I really enjoyed the meal"

" call me aunt from now on Ariya ok?" She suggested or rather demanded kindly.

" I'll go ahead now ... aunt. I can't wait to taste another dish when next I come .. I will definitely learn how to prepare it too."

" you are always welcome here darling . When ever you have free time, you can come over so I teach you how to prepare some of the dishes"

" I definitely will aunt"

"Chao "

" let's go?" Ethan said entering the kitchen . I'm really thankful he forced me to dinner. I was starving and the food was the bomb.

" sure"

" mum I'll just drop Ariya off ok? Her car had a breakdown "he told his mum leaving behind me .

" ok son"

" get ready, I'll come pick you up today immediately after I drop her off .. I gave your driver a day off"

" oh ok"

It was a long ride till we arrived my place. I stretch my hand to open my door and help myself out.

" Thank you for having supper with me" I hear Ethan say.. should I look at him? No ! Bad idea , he's probably looking at me ride now.. I can feel his eyes on my cheek . But I still have to talk to him so I might just look anyway.

" I enjoyed your Mum's food Ethan" I say with a greatful smile on my face.

" So won't you invite me in so I can meet your dad?"

JESUS!

So because he took me for dinner he thinks it's ok to meet my dad now? That's too much jeez slow down. I'm in shock but I struggle to revive myself before answering him.

"What?"

" Just kidding, you see I gotchu " he says this and laugh? Like dude it is not funny yknow .

" Thanks for the ride " I close the door and herd for the gate without even looking back.

"Pleasure. Gud night Princess " He said from behind me. I'm blushing but I mean who wouldn't blush? What ever.

Getting in, that's Mum standing behind dad who is watching a football match. She folds her arms looking at me .

" you home late today"

" I had dinner at a restaurant Mum"

" Alone?"

I know mum is always crazily over reacting and over protective but right now I'm too tired for an argument.

" mum!!" I kind of yell ..

" who's the guy who dropped you off?"

I just knew it.. I knew mum must have been watching us from the window.

" please not now mum. Just a friend"

Ignoring any further questions from her.

" Hi daddy "

" Hi sweetheart what happened to your car?"

" It broke down this morning dad it's at the repairer's "

" oh sorry about that. You should have given me a call so I pick you up on my way from camp"

" It's fine daddy . Didn't wanna border you"

" I'm glad you home safe . Come and give my kiss please I miss it"

Oh my God dad just won't grow up from this .. I like my dad a lot because he's always understanding with me unlike Mum . This woman doesn't like peace.

I ignore mum who is standing behind the chair dad's sitting on, I come close and give dad a kiss on his Cheek.

" I love you daddy . Good night"

" I love you too baby"He said and I herd for the stairs .

" hmmm , I'm trying to be a good and caring mother here and I'm hated . While others here keep spoiling and supporting her bad decisions but yet they get the ' I love you daddys and good nights ' and I get nothing. Wow isn't this amazing Anthon? "

If not for anything, Teressa is furious but Anthon can't really notice since he's so into his football match.

" sorry were you saying something?"

" I hate you"

She makes her way to the stairs . Anthon is a little confuse .. he doesn't remember doing anything wrong but yet she's mad.

"What? What did I do this time?. Ariya does the fighting and I do the begging . Screw me. I know exactly what to do when I go join her in the room"

He's hoping they can get into the jacuzzi tonight taking with them some red wine and play some love mood musics.

" babe let's take a wash together "

" in your dreams.. you are the sweaty smelly one so go get yourself washed and leave me alone"

" Love let's have some wine"

" I'm full"

This isn't working.

ETHAN...

So everything is been nothing but ok ever since I gave our lives a total new turn up . Mum's got her own restaurant, aunt Steph is helping her out. I wanna try and get closer to Ariya , I hope she lets me, I hope I'm not hallucinating about her being a little interested in me too.

But I won't rush this . I have to take my time . I wouldn't want to scare her away instead yknow. But I got to watch my back and moves too .. I don't wanna get hurt in the process ..

Oh I just remembered.. she knows so much about my little family already but I don't even know how her parents look like.

" that's because you are a weirdo"

" I'm not a weirdo Barca!"

Y is this thing always interfering ? Gosh it's too nossy .

" then how come you know nothing? Always pretending to be a tough guy who doesn't care whereas infact you are mad over her already "

" I AM NOT MAD OVER HER!" I'm yelling at myself now? Thanks to this thing telling me what I should and shouldn't do.

Well I think I like her but I'm not that mad over her. Just I have these issues with family I must take care of first before....
