Stephanie looked like a lost sheep with no where to go.He cupped his face in the palms of his hands with despair visible in his eyes. He shifted from his seat and decided to go to the roof top to calm his restless mind and heart that were in chaos. The rooftop had fresh flowers. The smell that radiated from them eased the restless mind and anyone could get inspiration when calmly seated next to them. Amoment's value can only be told by the one who lost it, because when one loses that moment,only then he realizes what he could have done differently.
This statement was befitting Stephanie's situation right now. He was once desperate for something new but he never thought things would turn the wrong way. He couldn't believe his immaturity years back when he abandoned Sabrina when she was pregnant with their first child. The memories of that year when he spoke words that were like a sharp dagger penetrating the heart directly without leaving any free way for the holder to survive. It wasn't until the DNA confirmed that all the children weren't his but for other men. At first he was in total denial as if convincing himself that the doctors made a mistake in the test results. Suddenly he had a voice of his late mother with agony in it, " we all told you about that lady but you never listened and decided to abandon your own family because of a witch who not only brought trouble but also caused chaos in our entire family, you may have lost the opportunity but Start everything afresh maybe it's the only way to atorn for your sins." The voice disappeared as if the entire scene was an illusion.
Stephanie opened his eyes with beads of sweat on his forehead,he couldn't believe he would once get to hear his mother who died few years back when he had just started his relationship with Sabrina. Wiping sweat with his hands he stood up breathing heavily to start from scratch as his mother's advice.
At Annabelle's place.
Being bored to death, Annabelle and priccy registered on TikTok creating an account. Successfully creating the account,they posted their first video with their mesmerizing dance moves hoping as the account grew, they could get more followers. Turning on their notifications button, they browsed through the internet to see the recent trends and the music. Priccy received a call and decided to pick it up in her bedroom. " Babe, how are you, do you know that I miss you like crazy, what kind of spell did you cast on me,am nolonger myself." Amir told Priccy with infatuated voice. Blushing like a red tomato,priccy giggled continuously before replying to Amir who almost couldn't wait to hear his beloved's voice. " Honey,I would like to ask you something serious" Priccy asked for Amir's permission before proceeding with her questions. " Hmmm, go ahead". Amir said giving priccy an opportunity to ask the question that was always on her mind. " Are you serious about us, like planning the future together because it would be wise if we don't spend each other's youth without anything regarding the future". Priccy with a soft sigh as if a huge burden is off her shoulders. Laughing, Amir turned serious. " Though I haven't talked about it ,it doesn't mean am just flirting with you and eating the cake for free, but this weekend am planning to take you to my parents and officially announce our relationship to them". Amir dropped the bomb at priccy who was worried sick. The more I love you until am okay. Priccy sang the chorus making Amir the happiest man on the planet.
On the other side,Amir grabbed his car keys and rushed out of his apartment to spend the rest of the day with his girlfriend. Suddenly, priccy and Annabelle who were watching animation on a tablet heard a car pull up. Priccy went towards the window, wiped it and peered out. But she was shocked when she saw Amir leaning on his BMW with his well chiseld chest on display with two buttons undone. Wearing khaki shorts with adidas sports shoes giving the vibe of a play boy. When priccy got sight of this, she felt goosebumps rising on her skin and feeling hot all over her body. Gasping, Annabelle was met with this scene when she came to see what took priccy almost an hour to peer in the window. She almost tripped when she saw Amir,she knew from the beginning that he was handsome but Amir had never dressed in such away before. " The big bad wolf is after the Bunny". Annabelle said jokingly but received a sharp glare from priccy who stomped her foot and went to door. The first thing Amir did was to bring the bouquet of red roses that were fresh. When priccy caught sight of this,she almost screamed her lungs out. Smiling like a fool,she tiptoed and gave Amir a passionate kiss. It was the sound of Annabelle that interrupted them. " Wow!,you guys get a room you're killing me with dog food when am single." Annabelle said going back to watch her cartoons. Getting a glass of juice, priccy gave it to Amir and went with
Annabelle who was a pro in dressing up. " I want to dress provoking in a way that his eyes should be glued to my body all the time." Priccy said with a grin plastered on her face. " I think the way you're progressing Aunt will be a grandma anytime from now." Annabelle said teasing priccy who blushed profusely. Roaming through the wardrobe, Annabelle picked a light blue off shoulder dress . Putting on the dress,it left Annabelle with amazementbecause the dress high lighted the curves of priccy who swirled around in the huge mirror. Annabelle got her makeup kit and her hands started doing magic on priccy's face. Tying her hair in a bun,few stands of hair peered out in her grey eyes. " Mr lover boy is waiting, just go". Annabelle said grabbing her hand bag. " Aren't you bored staying home alone like this, maybe you should join us." Waving her hands," no I don't want to be the third wheel,I will spend the day with mom and Lolita". Annabelle said with a smiley face when she talked about her mom.
Amir stood up when he heard clicking sounds on the tiles,he almost dropped his phone to the ground when he saw priccy approaching him. An astonishing serenity beamed out of his eyes. Wow was the only word that escaped his mouth. He gently pulled her in his firm chest holding her tiny waist. Blowing air in Priccy's ears that suddenly turned a shade of pink. " Babe , what are you turning me into,am now becoming a pervert every second I look at your sexy figure." Amir said in a husky voice,desire and want could be detected in his voice and rapid breathing. Priccy smiled mischievously as she had hit the jack pot. " Let's go before Annabelle watches such a scene. Their car drove away until it disappeared in the crowd of cars. After dressing up, Annabelle grabbed the house keys gently closing the door. She phoned the Rida app for a safe taxi to avoid inconvenience in the taxis with crowded people. Arriving at her destination,she paid the money leaving her alone at the peaceful street . Staring at the three bedrooms apartment with a built in kitchen with a bathroom.The apartment lay on Mutundwe hill with crampy bushes behind it. The outcrop of rocks poised on the edge of hill. The flowers on the front with a pleasant smell gave anyone a special feeling. Knocking on the door,a few minutes Lolita opened the door in her cute bunnies outfit giving her the look of a princess in wonderland. The moment her eyes met Annabelle's,she immediately gave her a bear hug forgetting her weight. " Oww! my baby sister as grown into a beautiful princess". Annabelle exclaimed hugging her sister. Closing the door,they went into the living room were Sabrina was reading a magazine. Seeing her daughter whom she had spent several weeks without embracing. They hugged each other for several minutes before they separated and started conversing about daily issues. Sabrina skated to the kitchen and made spaghetti and liver. Opening the lid, the aroma spread wildly because even Annabelle and Lolita almost salivated to the aroma that had attacked their nostrils. " Annabelle and Lolita, wash your hands because the food is ready. " Sabrina ordered them arranging plates and cutlery.Sitting on the dinning table, Annabelle recited a short prayer for the creator to bless the food. Afterwards,they devoured their food like street kids who have been starved for several days. " Lolita,slow down no one is going to eat your food". Sabrina reprimanded with a motherly gaze. Tilting her head,she just nodded and proceeded eating nolonger biting big bites. After eating to their fill, Annabelle decided to wash the dishes since her mother did the cooking. The peaceful silence was interrupted by the sudden knock on the door.
