I decided to go home after all that happened. My mood was wrecked. Many questions started banging into my mind. Is this how people from Ehenye speak to each other or this guy was just rude? I couldn't believe that it was my first day here and it went wrong.
All of a sudden I started thinking about Valentine. I missed him so much after all that happened between us. I put on my headphones and listen to music. I played "August" by swift Taylor and I started feeling better. I had been mumbling words, trying to imitate the song and I made terrible sounds. people I met were looking at me, wondering what kind of a singer I was.
When I got home, there was no one. I dived onto my bed and slept.
I slept for almost 5 hours when I heard a noise coming from the living room. It was Uncle Teo, he was back from work. I couldn't believe I slept like a baby in winter. I went to look at myself in the mirror. My reflection looked like a ghost. I grabbed a blush and combed my hair. I went to the living room where my uncle was. He was busy with something but I couldn't tell what it was because he was facing the other side.
"Good day uncle" I greeted him while heading to the refrigerator to get something to eat. Hunger was killing me.
"How was your day my girl, where is Adel?" He asked.
I almost dropped the glass of juice that I was holding. I remembered that Adel didn't return home yet from her friends' party. I couldn't tell my uncle where she went, since I had no idea if she was allowed to go out without her father's approval.
"I'm good uncle. I think Adel is in her room sleeping" I lied to my uncle.
"Alright,"
I finished drinking my juice and went back to my room to call Adel and find out where she was. I called her a million times and she did not pick up the phone. I was fed up and I decided to call her for the last time.
"If she didn't pick up the call this time, I'm done with her," I said in my mind.
It seemed like she knew I was getting enough of her, this time when I called, she picked up the call.
"Why are you calling me nonstop, did your periods start and you don't have pads or what is so important and wait? Al east let me enjoy this party" She yelled out.
I was so alarmed by what Adel said. How can she talk to me like that, while I was trying to save her ass? I went on mute for a minute.
"I just called to tell you that uncle is back and he was asking for you, I'm sorry." I angrily said.
"OMG!!, why so soon, I'm dead." She freaked out.
"What did you tell him?" She asked again.
"Wow, what happened, are you now interested in talking to me," I said.
"Mia please, I'm in serious shit. Tell me what you told Dad."
I could tell by the way she was talking that she was scared. I couldn't believe the Queen was now begging.
"Relax, I told him that you were in your room sleeping," I told her because I never wanted her to come home and expose herself.
"Thank you very much cousin, I'm sorry for being rude to you earlier. If you had told my father where I was, he would have killed me today." She said with fear.
"It's okay, now listen to me. Come back home right now if you don't want your father to find out."
"I can not come home now because my friends will get upset with me. Please, cousin, I need to be here until the party ends. Please try to help and make sure my Dad won't find out that I'm not home. Please! I beg of you." She said.
What was wrong with this kid? First I covered for her by lying to uncle that she was sleeping and again she was begging me to make sure that her father didn't find out that she was not home.
"Can't you see it is now getting late?" I asked her.
"I know but I can't come now," she said with her ugly voice cracking in my ears.
"Okay fine, just make sure by 20:00 you are home if you are late." I angrily said.
"I promise, I will come before 20:00." She said
I ended the call. I couldn't believe my day was just full of misfortunes. After talking to her, I went to the kitchen and prepare dinner. We ate together with my uncle and he was still asking for Adel but I lied that she was in my room playing games on my Laptop.
"Nowadays kids!!.. Can't she just come to eat and go back to play her games? Uncle said.
"No uncle, she said that she will come to eat later" I lied again.
I couldn't believe that I was now lying because of Adel. After eating, uncle went to his room. I cleaned everything and went back to my room. I checked my phone to see if Valentine called or texted but he didn't. Whatever I did to him was big that he couldn't forgive me and talk to me. I checked again but there was a text message from an unknown number. I asked myself who could that be.
[Hi beautiful, I hope you ain't mad at me anymore?] The new number texted.
In my mind, I just thought it was my boyfriend Valentine texting, but I doubted it because there was no way he would text me with an unknown number.
[Hlw, who is this?] I texted back.
[It's Phill." ] Another text from the unknown number.
I remembered that it was the annoying Phill I met earlier. The man who brought bad luck to my first day. I didn't reply. I jumped on my bed and covered myself with a blanket until the head. I was irritated that he texted me. He was rude to me, so why was he texting me? This man was unbelievable, he just called. Firstly I didn't pick up the call but he kept calling. I was being Queen Adel now, Lol. I got annoyed so I picked up the call.
"Hlw"... I said.
"Why are you not replying to my texts?" He asked.
"I got irritated when I found out that it was you texting"... I replied trying to let him down.
"Why are you so rude? Come on, I just want to talk to you."... He said.
"No thank you. You showed me your true colour already when I met you earlier." I angrily answered.
"You are new here, don't you want friends? I wonder where people like you are from."... He asked while mocking me.
" I will decide for myself whether I want friends or not. Why are you interested anyway? just leave me alone okay."... I told him.
"Alright Ms Grumpy. Once you made up your mind and need friends please call me back."... He said.
"Bye"... I said because I was fed up with him.
I hung up. After talking to Phill I checked the time it was half past eight and Adel was not back home yet. I didn't call her because she was just too much. I faced up, staring at everything in the room while thinking about what tomorrow would be like. I was interrupted by a knock on my window. It was Adel, I opened it for her. I was not in the mood of talking to anyone so I told her I was sleepy and that we would talk about everything the next day. Adel went to her room. I turned the light off and slept.
The next morning it was Adel who made sure she made breakfast just to make sure that I didn't say anything to uncle. It was Friday and after breakfast uncle gave us money to go shopping. We needed to buy groceries and Adel to show me around town. When my uncle left for work, we bathed and went to the shops. I was so delighted, the view was beautiful. We bought many things and after shopping, we had to look for a taxi to take us back home.
When we were walking toward the taxis, there was a black car behind us. I felt like it was coming toward us.
"Do this person in Ehenye knows how to drive?"... I asked Adel.
"What are you implying? Of course, they know." She said while looking at me like she was revolted.
"I mean, just look at that black car. Can't the owner drive the other way?"... I said while pointing to the other path.
"Don't mind them. Anyways, thank you for last night. You saved me. My dad doesn't like it when I go out until late unless I notified him first."... Adel said.
" why didn't you tell him yesterday?"... I asked.
"If I had told him, he wouldn't have let me go because he doesn't like Sofia's Mom."
" Who is Sofia and why?"
"I will tell you later, for now, let's get a taxi and go home."... She answered.
Sofia was Adel's friend, they were in the same grade. While walking, the black car halted next to us. The man inside the car opened the door and it was Phill.
"You again!?"... I shouted when I saw him.
"Wait, you know him?"... Adel interrogated.
"Hey friend, are you surprised to see me?"... Phillip asked.
Adel badly wanted to know how I knew this guy but I couldn't tell her since yesterday I told her that I didn't want to go outside the house. I wanted to lie to her but this was something else. He will just ruin everything. Phill was looking yummy in his black pant and a white shirt exposing his chest. He was smelling nice as always. Phill greeted Adel and they began talking.
"How do you know my cousin?" Adel asked.
"She is my girlfriend."... Phill grinned.
"Why didn't you tell me that your boyfriend was Phill?"... Adel asked with a smile reaching her ears.
The way Adel was smiling was like she had never seen a handsome guy or something.
"Relax my sister, he is not my boyfriend. Let's go home."... I turned around to go.
"Don't be shy, just tell her. Come, let me drop you guys home."... Phill said.
Adel was happy to an extent that she might Just pee in her pants. She jumped into the car in the back seat. Phill headed to me and bend to whisper something in my ear.
"You are now mine babe girl. Just look how happy your cousin is. Now come let me drop you home."... He said while picking up the carrying bags and putting them in the car.
"Keep dreaming you madman," I glanced at him with a furious face.
Phill opened the door for me and we left heading home. Phill and Adel kept chatting and laughing as if they knew each other for a long time. I didn't say anything until we reached home. When we got home, Adel took all the things in the house. When she left, Phill opened the door for me again but before I could get out of the car he leaned closer to me while looking directly into my eyes. My blood started boiling all over my body. I felt something strong and my stomach started hurting. I could hear his heart beating fast. He looked more handsome, then he broke the silence.
"You are now home, Rude girl." He said then he started laughing.
I was nauseous but I couldn't do anything because I was weak. I pushed him away and get out of the car. He grabbed me and hugged me so tight. I felt something hard as he pressed his body to mine. He made me feel some things that I couldn't even describe. He let go of me and smiled.
"I love your hugs already. You know how to hug."... Phill said.
"Did I even hug you or you forced yourself on me?"... I asked him.
"Woo woo... Lower your voice, because the way you are saying I forced myself on you it's like I raped you or something."... He glimpsed at both sides to see if someone was coming.
"I'm going inside, I have something to do. Safe journey. I hope not to see you again."... I said.
"Alright. Would you like to hang out sometime with me?"... He asked with a bright smile on his face.
"I told you that I don't want to see you again."...
"Okay gorgeous, I will pick you up tomorrow for lunch. Bye."... He said, getting into his car.
When he told me that he will pick me up for lunch, Adel was coming from the House towards us. She heard what he said.
"No thank you, I'm not going!"
"Yes she is going."... Said Adel while waving at Phill.
Adel was just another seed, she was so excited that I was dating a Celebrity. We went inside the house to rest.
"How do you know Phill?"... I asked Adel.
"Let's go inside I will tell you."... She said.
