Brie showed them their room Shirley's mouth hung open not able to believe that a room could be bigger than most people's entire home, she slopped on the bed gasping, Rita look around it has a large mirror door at the end, a wardrobe on the left and a dresser on the right, the bed could occupy six people if they happen to throw a room party.
"Both of you can share," Brie said crossing her arms, Shirley smirked.
"Hopefully I wish she could've stayed home I don't feel bad if I have the room all to myself-
Rita swayed her head smile tugging on her lip.
"Yet I'm stuck with you for life-
"No girl you're not I'm turning eighteen in a couple of months I'd like to school at any university nearby-
"What do you mean nearby Shirley" Brie asked,
"I saw you talking to jade's mum about how much time she spends with her baby daddy plus according to google, he has the biggest house on his street that gives me a space here-
Rita brought out a tongue disgusted by Shirley's sudden change of mind.
"Ewww don't you have no shame Shirley this is not Bridget's house-
"Why would you think the such thing in staying with jade because she asked me to bring my younger sisters wasn't part of the plan-
"At all" Rita wave her finger in front of Shirley she slapped it away.
"Sis I'm sure jade will agree do you expect me to drive from home to school every day-
"Living here will require you to drive to school as well what's the difference-
"I will appreciate it if you shut your filthy mouth I wasn't talking to you-
"Is not happening I can get you an apartment once you're finally admitted to whatever university for now focus on why you are here, the dinner is by 7 make sure you get ready before then" Brie left,
"Unbelievable Shirley you really will go any length to win-
"At least I'm not a bitch who can't ask a girl out because she feels inferior towards her-
"Nonsense" Rita rust out brie already left the room,
"Don't do anything stupid to go to an extent asking jade if you could live here is way out of line how will mum and dad feel-
"You mean the mum and dad that doesn't let me live my life freely, stuck me with a godforsaken being like you-
"Jesus Shirley, I have feelings select the words you say to me you're gonna make me depressed why do you hate me so much-?
"I don't hate you the problem is you stuck your nose up in everything like I didn't just advise you hours ago to learn minding the business that pays you, why don't you go research about how you can help your community instead of making my life miserable every fucking day" she walked out of the room with a heavy sigh, Rita catch a breath resting on the bed contemplating how she makes her life miserable.
All through the dinner against the baby shower, Rita avoided her sister which never did in her entire life Shirley noticed it was something she always wanted for decades right from elementary not only does it hurt deep down she feels empty and void.
Jade's mum made a toast congratulating her daughter on how far she have come to archives everything, a new member on the way not only is she a blessing so much love surrounds her, Shirley muttered under her breath why the gender of the baby is revealed isn't too soon.
Social media will make you believe everything in the media after Clinton made her final toast it expresses how much respect she now has jade like the first time meeting her, from the very first day set eyes on an elegant young smart beautiful lady her soul accepted her, everyone will disagree on this but that's the truth.
Clinton got up with his flute of champagne already he sat close to jade who seem to only focus on assembling her cravings seriously without telling you could know she crave fish more than anything no doubt eating a whole fish won't seem like a task to her.
"I appreciate us coming together as a family I'm so excited to be a father-
Eyes grew bewildered as he deep his hand into the pocket of his dark denim Jean his outfit is streetwear basically what he loves wearing not a suit type of a guy only when there is a meeting. The only person who didn't get the memo is jade so focused on spicing her fish licking the thumb of her hand.
Shirley knows he's about to propose the black box design with ribbon thinking she'd be the first to bring out her phone the rest had except jade eating the fish as her whole life and baby depends on it, it amused Clinton as he smiled kneeling on one foot as he put down his flute of champagne, jade look so surprised and embarrassing at the same time never for once this will happen so soon with so much on focusing on their baby.
He lifts the surface of the box a flashy diamond ring blinks illuminating and reflecting all the light, she covers her mouth with her right hand stretching her left hand.
"Will you marry me jade Einstein" tears slowly roll from her eyes this is happening she nods severally in just a second.
"Yes Clinton Abraham" he rang her everyone claps with woo of congratulations they hugged each other, and her mom sobbed as well, everyone abandoned the food and start taking pictures with jade, Mrs. Amika hugged Clinton whispering to him that he did the right thing.
"I'm going to be a wife" jade showed her diamond ring, while Shirley video she told herself that ring could buy her whole life this cost a fortune well this is not the first time Clinton had gifted jade a diamond this is like the second time.
Ariana grande music plays in the background everyone pair up themselves and dance, Brie and jade Dave together brie is so eager to meet the baby splurging money on baby things shows how much she's in love with the baby and can't wait much longer to meet her, Amika gifted her as well plus friends who were invited.
Shirley intentional bump into her sister who was avoiding her and she can't take it any longer.
Unable to stand her not talking to her.
"Are you like blind now Shirley" Rita burst out angrily.
"Are you mad at me?" Shirley asked, Rita, didn't answer but rather move on to enjoying the one party she felt sick about.
"Do whatever you like I'm just sick of you making me look like a horrible person whereas you're-
"Slow down I didn't lie when I said you hang out with a bunch of gay guys is imperial to miss out on all the fun-
"Ricky and Segun are fun you just don't like them because they are gays at least respect them because they are my friends is not wrong about how they choose to live their life this 2022 no one cares about genders or sexuality-
"How are you a lesbian and can't ask grace out"?
Rita hesitated and felt she is struck listening to her sister say that.
"What do you care" Rita muttered.
"Because it breaks you it doesn't matter if she says no what's important you speak up-
"Shut up Shirley when did you suddenly care about me this is not fire and ice"
"I realize I'm alone even if you're so annoying I'm not sure I will be able to contain myself without you and I don't care who you hang out with what matter is you're my sister and we should love each other"
Rita smiled at what happened to her sister.
"Really!!!" Shirley nodded hugging her.
"Yeah and for Shelby she's a total bitch I didn't accept to join their group on snap you're right I should focus more on my writing rather than trying to impress a bunch of spoilt brats-
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to be so hard on you" Rita protested.
"I have been so hard on you your whole life plus a big bully maybe because I feel you were better than me I felt jealous how patient you're with yourself and confidence about what you stood for I care more about what people say, desperately want popular people to like me and me, friends, with me, and what they wound say if they find out certain things about me, you're not a loser Rita"
Rita couldn't believe whatever it is she was Happy to hear all this from her sister, they always fight and that's the last thing she wants to do with her.
"I love you!!!!!
Both of them say at the same time and hugged again.
"Here," she showed Rita her phone she was lost of speech.
"What do you say sist" Rita took the phone making sure this was real.
"I can't believe this Shirley you went this far for me-
"She agreed on one date make it count and here you can use my car pls do crash it" she gave Rita her car key who took it out and dash out of the place after kissing her sister.
"No wonder she is a lesbian wow that kiss is hot and nasty asf," she said within herself that Rita was a badass kisser.
