Naomi removed the clip from her hair as she sat on her dressing table looking at it and smiling. He's so cute. She said laughing to herself. She was still admiring the clip when her phone lit up. It was a text message from Ardi.
A=don't forget to send pictures. I want to see how beautiful you would look on the dress.
She smiled when she saw the message. I shouldn't keep him waiting. I should reply him back. She thought
N=I'll think about it.
She sent it as she laughed to herself before she regained her herself. Control yourself Naomi. You need to learn control. He's just a man. He shouldn't have a huge impact on you. She said to herself as she smiled to herself.
************************************she went downstairs to see the house already decorated. Wow! Mum, it's so beautiful. Naomi said. I know right. Grace went all out this time. Cynthia said. Thank you ma'am. It's what I do plus the fact cheques I get from your family is not for fancy. She said as Cynthia laughed. I love your sense of humor. Cynthia said as Melody came. Mel, I hope the invitations where sent properly and there wasn't any mistake? She asked. Yes sis. Ever is ok. Melody said. I hope we didn't leave anyone behind? She asked. Be rest assured. Melody said as Cynthia nodded. Good. Then we should get ready. We can't afford to loose face. Cynthia said as Melody nodded. Where are your sisters and sister in-law? She asked. They went shopping. Melody said. Aren't they back yet? Cynthia asked. Not yet. Melody said. Good riddance to those two. I think they want to send me to my grave. Cynthia grumbled annoyingly as Naomi placed her hands on her shoulder. It's ok mother. You worry too much. Everything is perfect and it is going smoothly. Naomi said as her mother calmed down. My mind is telling me that someone missed us. Sandra said coming in with Sonia as Cynthia rolled her eyes. You wish. She said. Ok. Have it your way. Sandra said sitting on a chair and keeping her shopping bag on the table. I can't believe you two are irresponsible. How could you be late? Cynthia said scolded. Sis, don't talk to me. I'm not in the mood for your lectures. I'm happy and I plan on staying that way. Sandra said as she picked her bag and went upstairs to her room. Can you look at that? Cynthia asked. It's ok mum. Naomi said. We're sorry Cynthia. It was so crowded on the road that we couldn't make it early. Sonia said as Cynthia inhaled. It's ok. Just go get ready. She said as Sonia nodded and went upstairs. Mum, why don't you go get ready. Naomi said. I'll do that after I've checked everything once again. She said leaving. She always carries everything on her shoulder. Naomi said. She wouldn't do that if she was not the head of the family. Melody said as Naomi sighed.
****†*******************************where are you going? Cynthia asked as the kids were all dressed up. Out. Marcus said. Out? She asked. Yes aunt. We are going out. Mary said. Why would you go out when we have so many important guests coming in. She asked. Aunt you don't possibly think we would stay for your party? Emily said. What's wrong with my party? Mrs. Whitmoore asked. It's boring and the only think that's gonna be discussed is work, business, business and I don't want to be a part of it. Nelly cut in. Cynthia was about to reprimand them when Melody cut in. Let them go Cyn. We actually do not need them here. She said winking at them secretly as Cynthia sighed. Ok, but just to be safe, where would you be going? And before anyone states any rude comment, I'll Ike to know or else no one is leaving. She said as they groaned. Don't worry aunt. Nothing is going to happen to us. We're old enough to keep ourselves safe. Mary said. Who is old enough? Sonia asked joining them as Mary sighed. Ok, fine. She said huffing. To save time, the Anderson's are throwing a party, so we're going to represent the family. Nelly said. More like going to have fun. Emily muttered. What's that Emily dear? Cynthia asked. Nothing aunt. Emily said. Ok. Well that's thinking. I totally forgot about the party they were throwing. It's good. You all can go. Cynthia said as Naomi came down. Oh my! Isn't my niece looking beautiful? Sandra asked as everyone turned to Naomi. that's a killer sis. Mary said as Naomi smiled. Where did you get this two piece? It's so beautiful dear. Cynthia said. Thanks mum. Naomi said. So I'm ready to go. Naomi said as she smiled hugging her mum before she left. So we shall take our leave. Emily said as they heard Max's voice. Wait up guys. Max said. Wow! Bro you look superb. Emily said as Nelly rolled her eyes. Can we get the hell out of here? She asked. Wait a minute. Max where the hell do you think you're going? Mrs. Whitmoore asked. I have to catch up with my friends. It's been long and they are waiting for me. He said. Well, sorry to break it to you but you can't go. Go upstairs to your room and change your clothes and come back down. The guests would soon be arriving and I need you to be the one to welcome them. Cynthia said. Yes ma'am. Max said feeling heartbroken as Emily felt sad seeing her brother sad. Yikes. That's no fun. Marcus said as Mary slapped him on the back of his head. Ouch! What's that for? He asked. I'm out of here. Nelly said leaving. Bitch be getting on my nerves. Mary said as she left followed by Marcus as Max nodded at Emily to say he's ok as she gave him a small smile and left.
