" You are being immature"
" Thane," she tiptoed to me and threw the towel to the bed. She brought her hair to the other side and walked to me.
" Don't come close to me, you will not like the way I would push you."
"But thane…." She puckered her lips, "my feelings are scincere"
" feel your feelings from a distance."
" arghhhhh!" she groaned loudly and stumped out of the the room. Her umbrage was my relief. I did not want to hurt her, no matter how childish she had been behaving; she was still the cousin that I have cared for while I was growing.
I got up from the chair, I decided to wash up and prepare for the villa party.
I took sometime in the shower, I intended to stay in the bath tub a little longer, the producer of the perfume I used while in the bathtub amused me, the manufacturer said that it gave business man the confidence and leveled ground to become even the president. The one who had created the product had a penchant for sweet talking.
I added drops and ,massaged it on to my skin. " lets give it a try" I said to myself. I got out from the bathtub and I nearly slipped whne putting out my first foot. " Thank you lord!" I exclaimed. I tottered as I tried to restore balance. I remembered a story I had heard about an acquaintance that got out from a bath tub, slumped and died. It was at the hearing of the news that I did not count myself just lucky but one of a partakers of God's grace. I slipped into my slippers in a careful way. Then I headed for the bath robe I had hanged on the towel rack.
I went into my room where I had all my accessories stored up and the sensory lights installed at the entrance had lightened up. I took a remote on the desk besides a brown veneered wadrobe ad I pointed it towards the sound system arranged carefully at a corner. It was playing congratulations by ada ehi and I began to dash my legs adroitly against one another. I felt like kirk franklin as I dashed in killer moon walks close to the area where I had placed my suit. I took it up and I removed the nylon casing and tossed it into the bin. I put them on; the suits fit just perfectly. I glanced at the array of suits that I had lined up again on the hangers. I felt the inexplicable urge to give to most of my employees. I took the speaker that I used to summon some of my helpers in the house.
" hello, good morning. Please I need some people to come and take seven of my suits and put them into the car. Thank you."
" I dropped the speaker back in its niche and I strodded to another section which had arrays of cufflinks. I took the cufflinks which spelt jesus and I went over to see what shoes, I had worn two different kinds of oxford shoes in a row, I decided to switch to loafers, I remembered seeing a funny post about a reporter accusing me of secretly and subtly advertising the oxford shoe brands because I had a preference for it. I wondered if they had run out of news covers or I was their last resort to making a deadline or something.
I got into the loafers and I went to the mirror. My single buttoned tuxedo suit had different white and black patches that blended in perfectly with the designs. I went to my hair section that was in the room and I grabbed the brush and I combed through, I brushed my hair into a high and tight hairstyle
I bit my lips and I knew that I was ready to go,
" knock, knock"
" come in." I knew that it was the maids coming in to get the suits.
"sir this one too right?" I stared at the suit, I had sepereated it earlier so that I could collect the business card that those children had given me days ago.
I reached out to take the card out of the pockets
" Take it with you." I told the helpers and they left hurriedly.
You look dashing and suave, ready to mingle at the party." I was prepared to get to free up and have fun with all my employees. They all deserved this villa party.
I picked up my phone and opened it.
I love peace and she loves me was my pass word, it kept me motivated to never give up on her. It gave me hope on the days I felt like I was a failure and I had lost her.
" Hello, joshua, do we need a bus to get everyone from the company there?"
Peace
I had a room where I kept my clothes in but it was tupsy turvey few hours ago because I had been panicking about what to wear and not to. I got a call from Stacie and she told me that she was aware that I was having a wardrobe disaster and that she was heading to my place asap. I thanked the heavens and I heaved a sigh of relief. I started arranging my pile of clothes since solution was on the way. I tried getting up but I fell down because the clothes had tangled themselves with my legs. It was almost as if I was sinking.
I heard the footsteps of my children and they jumped in the clothe pile and wrapped the clothes around their legs to imitate what I was doing.
" Look I am trapped." Nelson put his hands in between my socks to show that he was handcuffed.
I watched Nancy stand up and looked at her two brothers.
" No! we came here to save our mom. Once in every two months exactly. My mom is tormented with the decision of what to and what not to wear."
" we will help you mom" Nelson said wriggling his nose and indicating that I should free him from his handcuffs.
" You are free young man" I smiled, they did not miss any opportunity to leave me out of any of their adventures. One two…where is my third baby!?
" where is your brother?"
" Bring it in!" Nancy said, putting forth her foot on one of the hills of clothes. Like an adventurer steading her foot on a stepping stone. Seems like the ballet club she joined in school helped her balance perfectly on the clothes.
Nathan walked in with the rolling board we had In the store. I saw different designs of dresses on the board. Not that they drew it clearly anyways. I could see the hands of the clothes that appeared like wings of an airplane.
" Dear my three little nn's , how am I going to get that dress on me. isn't it a make believe dress?" they had a look of doubt and uncertainity on their faces.
" w, wi wiith our faith, we can try sewing it for you" Nathan said. It really melted my heart. I had to play along with the children's world. It was time like these that… I was interrupted in my trail of thoughts.
" madam, miss Stacie is here to see you."
" oh let her in." Mrs tolu came in and informed me.
'Click clack click clack.'
I could hear her heals storm into the room.
