What is wrong with Bryant? How he say such a thing, and not to anyone but me? Have I done something to hurt him, how would I know if he doesn't tell me? "What is your problem Bryant? Friends are supposed to tell each other anything at all, right? Don't you want me anymore?" I asked. He looked straight into my teary eyes and answered, "Look Valerie, I'm sorry okay, it's just that, I got angry with what you said, I was expecting you to call my name but you didn't that's why, I'm sorry." He then hugged me and I felt good, I always do feel good when hugging him. That's it, we solved our problem, we always get a way to solve our problems. Now it was time for us to go home, I mean to the guard's house. When we got there, they had already prepared supper. I had to eat the food they prepared even though I was very satisfied. We had supper and we left. Before we left, we gave the rest of the food we brought from the palace to them. We told Annabel to share the cupcakes with Andy because we saw how much they loved each other especially the way Andy loved Anabel. Well, they just reminded me of how Bryant and I were, during childhood. Someway somehow, we got to the palace, I quickly got down and kissed Bryant good night and I left in a hurry because I wanted to visit the washroom. After easing myself, when I looked through the window, I saw Bryant and the Princess talking to each other. I wanted to satisfy my curiosity so I closed my eyes and imagine the both of them. They were arguing over…me, Cindy loves Bryant but thinks that Bryant and I were dating so she wanted to avoid him. Bryant held her by the waist and dived his lips into her mouth, it was really nice seeing my two friends in love with each other. They are both lucky to have found each other in this evil world. I didn't want Princess Cindy to become suspicious of me so I quickly took my bath, dressed in a pink pyjamas and forced myself to sleep. I couldn't stop smiling, I was really happy for them, they are lucky to have each other.
The next day was day five, Princess Cindy never knew that, I know she went for tutorial lessons from the Royal Cook in order to prepare a good meal. When I was awake, she was still sleeping so I went to fetch some water and sprinkled it on her face.
"Arise and shine Princess, the members of the palace in Elamite are hungry and you must feed us," I screamed, she raised herself and was smiling and I continued, "Dreaming time is over, it is time to come back to reality. Your Prince charming is still out there waiting for you. You are smelling, come back to the real world,"I said and dragged her to the bathroom. I closed the room and went to sit on my bed,"Make sure you bath well Princess Cindy. We are going to cook today… I mean you are going to cook today!!"I shouted. "Of course I know Miss Valerie Kay and I am going to surprise you big time, everybody will love my cooking, I bet you! ,"she retorted. Anyway, my prayer is for her to do well in the cooking. I will be very happy if she excels as she's doing. Now she can dress up herself without anyone helping her, she relate well with others, she cares for people and today I'll see if she can manage the cooking as a woman all by herself. About twenty minutes later, she was done bathing and came out to dress. As she sat in front of the dressing mirror, she was just smiling, I knew that she was happy with what Bryant did to her, oh my goodness, I can't believe that she was actually in love with Bryant. "Wanna share anything with me? I'm always free to hear you out. And why are you smiling, did you win a lottery or something?" I asked and she rolled her eyes. She then answered,"I am sure that you will get to know soon, that is, if the it happens." "Okay, I hope that whatever it might be, if it's a good thing, then it should come through but in case it's something bad, then it shouldn't come through? I said calmly. She dressed up and we went downstairs for the big thing which was about to happen. The King and the Queen were going out to an important ceremony so they had breakfast, dressed up in beautiful clothes and left for the ceremony. "Okay Princess Cindy, prepare your favourite food, what's your favourite food, I mean for breakfast?" I asked and she answered,"Chocolate pudding and florentine, so that is hat I will be preparing today Miss Valerie Kay oh sorry I mean, Chef Valerie Kay. Can I start now?" "The kitchen is all yours Princess Cindy," I replied and she started. It was really nice watching a Princess cook for me to eat. She stirred, chopped, sliced and did any other skill use in the preparation of Chocolate pudding and florentine. She baked the florentine and almost unfortunately, she almost burnt it. It was kinda disastrous. Anyway, she was learning so I had give her the chance to flow. I went backdoor to get some fresh air, on returning, I saw Bryant and Princess Cindy chatting, Bryant was giving her some directions and she was cleaning the kitchen while cooking, like exactly what I thought Bryant, the very first day my mom asked him to cook for us in the house to prove to my mom that he could be my friend. I was happy seeing how well the both of them were relating. Technically, it meant that, Bryant was in love with the Princess long before time, WOW, Bryant Lytton can really keep secrets. For some weeks now, I've not heard from my mom and I missed her and Judy so much. With my phone in my hand, I dialed my mom's number and I called her, Judy was the one to answer the phone because mom doesn't like using the phone, unless for calls or replying of important messages. "Hello big sis, how have you been doing?" she asked and I answered,"I am doing great and you." "Sis, we're doing extremely well, thanks for the money you sent last month, it really did a lot in the house,"she answered. People do say that, two sisters from the same mother do not often get along with each other. They mostly fight like rivals but though Judy and I fight, we don't take it easy with anyone that tries to hurt any of us. We talked and talked and laughed before mom came in saying,"Judy, call your sister for me, it's been long since I've heard from her." Judy and I both giggled at what my mom said, so she gave her the phone and I said,"I missed you so much mom. I know by God's grace, you are doing good. I am also fine by the same grace, mom." "Oh dear," she replied and continued, "I miss you more, I hope you are praying, morning and evening at least." In a sad voice, I replied,"Sorry mom, I'll try my possible best to start praying from now on. I promise, I cross my heart, hope to die." I knew my mom very well, she believes in promises because she always make sure that, she fulfills her part of the promise. We spoke for some time and I hanged up. I went back to the kitchen but nobody was there and the kitchen was neatly arranged. Utensils were washed, tables were cleaned and to my surprise the food was not on fire any longer. I concluded that, maybe they took the food to the small dinning room beside the Royal Dinning room. I went there only to find Bryant and Cindy feeding each other like how lovers do, I quickly closed the door, walked to them and whispered to them,"I believe you are in love but since your parents are not aware of this, keep it off public places. Places that someone can easily spot you, I love you guys so much so I don't want anyone or anything to separate this beautiful love you have for each other. Until you decide on when to tell your parents about this, please keep it secret." I nodded my head shyly and I sat down to eat my special breakfast. On taking two spoons of the pudding, I commented,"Wow Princess Cindy, I can see that you are a quick learner right? This is very good, keep it up." We all laughed and continued eating. After the meal, I told them I was going to have a nap but Princess, right from her eyes, I could see that she wanted to spend more time with Bryant Lytton so I told her to stay with him. She is always happy when Bryant is around but anyway such is life. "Do not forget to make another one of your favourite food for lunch. I'll be out of the room by two in the afternoon so the food must be ready by then. And remember to go somewhere else if you want to…you know what I'm talking about," I screamed out to them.
I slept with my tommy down but I couldn't sleep, I knew that I wanted to sleep but the problem was that I just couldn't. I then got out of the river side, there I let it all out to the river. My pains and happiness, yeah, good idea, I will bring the Princess to the river side this evening and she would remember and cry out all that was on her heart so that in case we are going to take a flight to our summer vacation, she would not be very scared. After relieving myself, I went back to sit in the bathtub and I dozed off. I slept really deeply and when I woke up and check the time, it was quarter to one. I quickly dressed up and went downstairs to meet Bryant Lytton and Princess Cindy in the mini dinning room. Princess Cindy had prepared the Spanish rice and had made the cranberry juice, when I got there, I ate a plate and a glass of cranberry juice. The Princess and Bryant were worried about me because I went back into the room after having the meal, they thought I was sick or something. In the evening, I took the Princess to the river side, I told her all that I wanted her to hear and as I expected, she cried out loud. I didn't stop her because I wanted her to let it all out. About ten minutes of crying, she stopped and said,"It feels so good to cry out to the river, I shouted at it but it did not even shout back at me. I love you Valerie Kay, for showing me this." She hugged me as she finished talking. We both sat there while looking at the river. It was so nice, the river is a very nice creation created by God to us, humans. I just hope that, our one month vacation in Los Angeles will be a successful one because I just love the city and this is my first time going there. I also pray that I will get my life partner there because a lot of teenagers will be coming there to have fun. I also pray that Princess Cindy will not change her mind about this vacation because she is a drama queen just like me, just that I'm more dramatic than her and she can change her mind but until then, Los Angeles CA here I come.
