~Victoria Heathers~
I awoke to the joyful chirping of birds in the crack of dawn as usual.
Ever since I took up the path of most resistance, did I find my lord and savior and have faithfully abided by his teachings alongside mama before she went into his embrace. Left out from the sorrows of my past, I now look to the future by loving each day as devoutly as I possibly can.
*Buzz*
Hehe, forgive me father in heaven and mama, I have defiled this vessel with the use of this incredible invention that auntie Kendra gave me incredible massages. I got down to my knees and prayed for a moment and before I knew it, time slipped me by as I stood up and walked over to the front garden where all the little critters scurry and sound for the world to know they are alive.
"Haaa, I can feel that today is going to be wonderful!" I smiled and went over to the kitchen where I planned to make a light breakfast yet, the entire fridge was empty. "The cupboards?"
I then field there too and pouted as there was no food in the house. With a defeated sigh, I soon stood prim and proper as I then walked over to change into my Sunday dress and grabbed my blue basket as I then left the comfort of my house while heading down the road and stopping by the local bus stop.
'Hmm, oh, there is someone else here.' Walking up to the bench, I then politely spoke while brushing my hair behind my ear.
"Mind if I sit here?" I spoke and the woman gave very soft smile and nodded in reply as I then took my seat. "Ah, thank you."
~
My first kiss! This woman is very sinful! Then again, she did seem to fall in love with me first.
"… who are you?" She asked and I gave a weird smile as I then replied.
"M-My name is Angela." I then watched as her brow twitched and then she spoke again.
"Wasn't your name 'Ann'?" I instantly groaned as she was right and I had forgotten.
"I can explain." I said but she didn't look like she'll believe me.
*Ring*
Yes! Thank you, Father. Now is my chance to-
"Oh, you are not going anywhere Miss 'Angela'." The woman then answered the phone and I don't know what the context was but apparently the woman on the other end of the phone exposed that this pale woman was in truth, a true temptress and the most dangerous kind for my virgin soul.
"I'll be there! And I'm bringing someone else… fine, by-Tsk. Hung up." I was confused and then flinched as her sharp eyes trained on mine. "Okay, listen here Ann or Angela, I don't think you want me to report this incident to the police so how about we get even if you come with me to my sisters wedding?"
A wedding!? Oh joy!
"Ahem, I suppose." I want to go, a wedding is a grand special wedding occasion and most of all, free food!
"You are unbelievable…" She muttered under her breath but I still caught it and was confused as I don't think I had done anything else. "Got a phone number?"
Blinking, I then nodded with a smile and reached down to grab my cellphone that my mother passed down to me.
"What is this ancient contraption?" She was hurtful but I didn't mind it as it was pretty outdated. "Okay…. There. I'll call you on the day and swing by to pick you up."
"Yes." I smiled and then looked down at her from as I was a few inches taller than her. "Oh, what was your name again?"
"Mina… Mina Reyes." I titled my head and nodded as I committed the name to memory and then continued.
"Well, seeing as how you got me pregnant, you need to take responsibility now, Miss Mina Reyes." I gave a light smile as I wondered how long I'll have to wait until our baby comes.
"Say what now?" Mina looked as if she paled even more than she already was as I raised my brows in confusion and then understood that she probably didn't know how babies were made.
"Oh, you see. My mama told me that when two people who love each other very much kiss, they make a baby." I smiled and I was startled and confused when Mina suddenly started patting my head. "Did I say something strange?"
"Yes, you precious woman, you are very strange." I then pouted and was just about to retort before Mina suddenly grabbed my purple bag and held it out for me. "Oh, thank you."
"Come one, I'll walk you wherever you are heading." I smiled as she was being very friendly now.
"Alright." Walking ahead, Mina soon walked by my side as I then turned the corner and after ten minutes, we arrived at the local market. "Ah, busy as always."
"People actually wake up to come here?" Mina spoke as I nodded and went over to the nearby stand where auntie Kendra had a sweet smile as she then saw Mina and gave me a sudden thumbs up as I responded in kind as I then picked a fresh stockpile of delicious oranges.
Going around collecting groceries with Mina was a pleasant experience. Especially when I held her hand so she sounded they lost, it was a lot more enjoyable than usual.
~
After collecting enough groceries, I soon went home and turned around to find Mina there.
"Well, this is where I live!" I said while expressing how cozy and beautiful my small house was.
"Vi-Angela. You really shouldn't bring random strangers to your home." I then heard Mina sigh as I tilted my head as I never usually did as ever since mama went up to be with Father in heaven, I have been on my own this past year.
"Haaa, come on, you're staying at my place as it doesn't seem suitable for anyone to live here alone, especially a pretty woman like yourself." Taking my hand, I blushed as she called me pretty and then the thought of having a real sleep-over with a friend occurred to me.
I was then very ecstatic with the sleepover and hoped it would be loads of fun.
~
It sure is noisy around where Mina lives. I'm pretty sure I liked the quiet from my house but, this was my first ever sleepover.
So while we suddenly climbed up to Mina's big house, we then walked to door and went inside.
The lights suddenly came in by themselves and I thought the place was haunted when Mina said it was just a thing her home does.
Nodding, I then walked over to look around and was amazed by all the new and weird things.
"Wanna watch TV while I go wash up?" She then turned to the large rectangle in the middle wall of the room and it suddenly came on as there were people inside. "What, don't tell me you've never seen a TV before? How old are you exactly?"
"Uh, I am 21 winters old." I nodded as I still remember when mama took us from that dark and cramp home and then we moved to a new home when I was around 13 winters old.
"Say what?" I turned to Mina with a crease in my brows as I hadn't said anything strange. "Do you mean years?"
"Winters. That's how mama described it to me anyway. Right after we moved to a newer and brighter home, I really liked it but mama then got sick and she told me one day a winter or a year ago that she was going to meet father in heaven as it was her time." I drew a line with my mouth as Mina suddenly hugged me and I was confused as I would often see mama and father hugging a lot too many winters ago.
"You poor naive girl, I'm thankful I found you first." She said and then patted my head again. It felt nice. "You're living here now, okay. J-just like you said, I am taking responsibility so you are now my w-wife forever so you can't leave the apartment-home anytime soon or ever. Okay."
"Okay." Mama said that kisses are for your special person. Is Mina my special person now? "Yes."
Huh…
Did she just…
"Yes, I did." She spoke again and I was starting to get suspicious that something was wrong. "Please, stop monologuing and listen. I can hear your thoughts somehow."
"My thoughts?" What did she say?
"You know, that little voice in your head that only you can hear?" I widened my eyes as Mina had super powers just like Father in heaven. "Woah, not quite. I can only seem to hear your thoughts."
"Really?" I then tested it by saying that Mina looks very pretty and Mina blushed as she then spoke.
"You just thought I was very pretty." Oh, it's true! Wow! My special partner is amazing, mama, father in heaven.
"Oh boy." Mina said as I titled my head and smiled.
