Today is the happiest day I guess in my life. The King and Queen packed our things for us, it was really fun. The King took us to the town's shopping mall. We bought a lot of things, clothes, shoes and other accessories which is necessary for our vacation. All that we bought was about twelve shopping bags in all, the Princess's stuffs, Bryant's and mine, so it's not like it was not like the stuffs were plenty. We sent the shopping bags to the house after giving Bryant's own to him, we bought a new traveling bag which was hot pink in colour. We repacked our things into the new hot pink traveling bag, took our breakfast and dressed up for the journey ahead of us. We took two cars to the airport, the King and Queen were in one, Bryant, Princess Cindy and I were in the other. It was about twenty-five minutes drive from the palace to the airport. "Are you sure you want do not want to take any guard or maid along with you dear?"the Queen asked Princess Cindy. She placed her hands on her and answered,"Mom, I want to leave a life like a normal girl. I want to experience how life will be like, as a normal girl and know how difficult or easy life is, do not worry about me okay cheer up mom and besides, Valerie Kay and Bryant Lytton are all there to assist me." "Cindy! Here is your debit card, I've deposited a lot of money into your account in case you need anything, you know what to do right?" the King said to her, she nodded and they had a family hug. We boarded in the first class part of the aeroplane, it was really fun. Few hours later, we got to LA ,we went to a hotel which the King has already booked for us. We all decided to stay in a three-bed bedroom, we got into the room, packed our things into the wardrobe and took a quick shower. It was a long and tiring journey, so we just slept on our beds lifelessly, suddenly we heard a knock on the door and a waitress brought in some food for us, we were too tired to eat the food, so deep in the night, as if they rang a bell for us to all wake up and eat. We were so hungry that, we woke up to eat the food. After eating, I couldn't control my eyes from closing so I just fell onto the bed, anything else that happened, I do not have any idea.
The next day, I woke up, brushed my teeth and I went to the gym center in the hotel to keep my body physically fit. After a few training, I sat down drank the water I took along. I was still resting when a tall and handsome guy walked to the gym with some ladies and other guys walking behind him. I noticed that he was one of those bad boys in town but my goodness, he is really handsome. A certain lady was sitting beside me, to satisfy my curiosity, I asked, "Who is that guy coming towards us?" The lady, who I guess is also a teenager like me, answered,"You mean you don't know Kevin? The hottest guy in this hotel?" I shook my head when I saw the guy because the way he was, I knew that he was a proper womanizer. I took my water bottle and went back to the hotel room, there I saw, Bryant and Cindy walking up and down restlessly. "What is the problem with you both?"I asked and Cindy replied,"Where from you Valerie Kay?" "I went to the gym center, and you have to start calling me Valerie, don't add the Kay. I guess we need to start teaching you how to talk and behave like a normal person." "A normal person? What do you mean by that?" Bryant asked me. "Mr Bryant Lytton, it's girls matter, you smack out of it okay?" I retorted. I wrote some simple expressions down for her to learn so that communication with others will be very easy for her. She also wrote some of the expressions to use as a princess but I prefer to learn it after the one month vacation. We decided to use three days as our resting period before we start going to the tours we planned on going to. We planned on going to Anaheim CA, which is the site of Disneyland, Beverly hills which most Nollywood actors lived in, Hollywood industry, San Fernando Valley and other exciting tourist sites. The three days rest in the room was interesting, I could watch Bryant and Cindy playing their love plays, after that we will play some truth or dare, I'll then test Cindy on the expressions I gave her and she as a fast learner was a plus one for me. After the three days, we first went to check out the beach in the city and it was very beautiful. We rested on the beach enjoy the sunshine. We were just checking up on the beach, to see how people were behaving there and leave to another place. I was looking around so that I can find out if I could find an ice cream truck, finally I saw one in front of a blue small stall. "Ice cream!" I shouted and dragged Cindy along. "How much is the ice cream dude?" I asked him and he answered,"A dime ma'am!" "A dime? Do you know how much I bought it from the other dude the last time? It was a nickel, anyway don't worry, I'll search for that guy myself," I yelled out. Dramatically, I dragged Cindy along while I was walking towards the place that Bryant was sitting. I was expecting the guy to call us back and Voila, he did called us,"Sorry ma'am it's a nickel." I shook my head and answered," I want vanilla, strawberry and chocolate scoops of the ice cream on each cone." I handed over the money to him and we left. "Sharp girl! Is that what normal girls do to save money? You bargain?"Cindy asked in wonder. "Yes Cindy, that's what we the broke niggas do?" I ranted. We sent the ice cream I bought for Bryant to him, I laid down again while watching the two lover birds, Cindy and Bryant playing in the sand. Cindy shouted and said,"Come join us Valerie." I shouted back while replying,"Don't worry about me Cindy, I'm fine just here." I closed my eyes while enjoying the cool air blowing with my new star sunglasses, suddenly, I felt something pouring on me, I jumped up only to see a tall and handsome guy standing in front of me, while putting his hands on his mouth and when I looked at my dress, I saw some black substances in my pink bikini. I screamed,"What the fuck did you just do inside my dress? Can't you watch where you're going, oh my goodness. You've spoiled my bikini that I got for a dime." Out of the blue, the guy started to laugh, I couldn't understand why he was laughing. In his laughter, he said,"You got this for a dime? A dime and you're acting as if you bought it for a million." I got really angry with what he said and annoyingly, he continued laughing with his two friends who were standing behind him. Unable to take the shame , I walked out on him, they were calling me back but I didn't even turn to even look at them. What even got me more annoyed was the fact that, he ran and crossed me and asked,"So you really bought this beautiful bikini for a nickel?" I could remember his face, yeah he was the Kevin guy, I met in the gym. "Oh so you're the Kevin guy, the stinky womanizer. Ouch, disgusting, I'm so disgusted to have met you here,"I said. I could see anger burn in his eyes but I cared less, he then answered,"Wow, it seems you know me too well." "I don't know you boy, I only heard your name and who cares about your name dude?"I answered and walked away. I could not believe that such a brat could have the courage to talk to me in such a disgraceful manner. I was furious at him and I was boiling with anger. I went to sit on a curved stone, folded my legs and placed my head on it, but why am I so angry with him. As long as I am concerned, I care less about people who I do not know and they do anything to hurt me but I f felt really bad because, he did not only hurt me but disgraced me in front of those his brats as a friend.
Later, Cindy and Bryant came to meet me and we went back to the hotel. I wasn't in any good mood, so I went straight to bed without talking to anyone. "Anything the matter Valerie?"the Princess said. Still lying in bed, I groaned and answered,"I just want to sleep I'm so tired." She continued to ask further questions,"No supper or even dessert tonight?" I turned a deaf ear to it and she said,"I guess she is asleep, she slept really fast today." "Of course, and so did we,"I could hear Bryant say. But this night, I couldn't sleep, I woke up and sat down on my bed to think, but why am I not sleeping. Maybe I was hungry, I took some money and went downstairs to get something to eat. It was around ten o'clock in the evening but the way people were still on the streets as if it was early in the morning. I was wearing a white hoodie which had an earphone in it. I placed the earphones in my ears and I listened to Tatiana's song and some cartoon songs. I walked out on the street, looking for some food to buy. Where I would get the food, I do not know. While I was walking on the streets, I saw some hooligans who were just hovering around. Finally, I got to a small restaurant, so I entered, got some food and got on my way to the hotel. Unfortunately for me, some men were making some strange advances towards me, it got worse when they surrounded me. They tried to touch me so I had to take to my heels, I ran so fast that I could not feel my legs any longer. I got to a big metallic gate that was not fixed yet so I hid under it, I could feel my bones shaking, what kind of problem could this be? Who would save me from these fools who have no manners or any kind of respect for humanity? My thoughts were interacted when one of them raised the metallic gate and found me under, he grabbed me by my clothes and raised me like how a giant will raise its prey. I kicked his penis with my leg, got down and I ran away. I was so tired that I could not ran any longer, I took a bottle of water which was in the bag I was putting on. As I was drinking the water, I felt a heavy and cold arm on my shoulders, I knew it was that giant man, so I began to ran again, I wonder how far the hotel was from here because I was damn tired. I saw a small stall which its back was dark, so I went to hide there. I was sweating so much even though the clouds were making funny sounds which meant that, it was about to rain.
