âIâll order pizzaâ
âThere will be no need for that there is more than enough food in the fridge, just take a seat at the tableâ. And Me-goo started pulling unending stacks of food from the fridge
âWoo-oh-ow! Where did all this come from?â surprised at the pure art storm called food her niece made in a very short time.
âObviously I cooked auntâ
âAll that?â Gad asked still awed that a single individual could do all that
âDonât you think I can cook, pretty face?â shot back ready for any battle against her culinary skills.
âWell since we are having a party; this will doâ Soma chanted breaking the mood
âHell no mom not one of yourâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâ his word was cut short by the enchanting view of the very expensive champagne before him.
âAm happy to have you here son and my lilâ princessâ
âIt has been a long time since anyone called me that as I grew up to be a very stubborn and fierce person amidst my petty innocent looksâ Me-goo said
âFierce? Hmmm I see, and cupcakes are your weakness?â Gab mocked
âAunty, what did you tell him?â Me-goo growled
Nothingâ they both chorused. Me-goo kept glaring at him as though she would see the answer
âShe really didnât tell me anything, she didnât have to; just one look at your face in the mall when I offered you a cupcake in the mall I knew you would ask for the bathroom and you did while almost running from the cupcakes and what else could explain the reason for the interior decoration with no single cupcake in sight when she loves them so muchâ Gab smirked
âHa ha very funny pretty faceâMe-goo retorted sarcastically
âI do have another reason for the interior decoâ Soma in her defense but was ignored as the bickering started
âIâm a guy so you really shouldnât be calling me pretty face, I know Iâm very good looking and attractive even though too bad you canât have me because Iâm your cousin, but I think âhandsomeâ is the word youâre looking forâ
âI call you pretty face because you are so sissy and because I decide what name Iâll call youâ
âIâm not sissyâ
âYes you areâ
âDonât you see my masculine body?â
âNo I see your feminine mouth moreâ
âWhat?â
âYou argue like a girlâ
âDo I? At least Iâm not the one with the phobia for cupcakesâ
âI fear nothing and no one at allâ she blinked and her eyes turned to a very bright and sparkling golden
âStop it the both of you, right now! I thought Iâll be happier with my children around me but you are just giving me headacheâ Soma scolded
âSorryâ they echoed. They both cleared the dishes together, the water she was using kept getting warmer and warmer and she didnât even notice it until it started to steam which stunned her because the water felt normal
âSee you turned on the hot water, the red is hot and the blue is coldâ Gab said and she became angrier with the embarrassment she felt knowing it would sound so dump when she says she didnât turn the hot water on; making the water even hotter. âJeez how could you even touch that, Iâve not even touched it and I fell like my skin is pilling already and you could comfortably keep your hands in it without feeling an ounce of painâ he continued without noticing her confusion
âRinsing with hot water is the best way to ensure that the plate is completely greaseless and I think she could touch the water because she is used to it, is that not so girl?â her aunt stepped in and saved her
âYes, Iâm used to it now and Iâm not as soft as you areâ she said while knowing she could never even touch anything hot. They said their good nights and went to bed
âFierce and stubborn right? Was the change in eye colour what Iâm thinking or was it just mere anger? The hot water was not turned on so what made it hot almost to boiling point and why didnât she feel the water was hot? Does this mean she inherited the burnt blood or was it all a coincidence? If it is not a coincidence does she know? So many questions and I donât really want to know the answersâ Soma checked up on the children and went off to bed 3
Chapter 3
âIâll see u tomorrow my dad is hereâ her face lit up when she saw her dadâs car âoh no, itâs not my dad but his friend and I really donât like himâ she said with a frown on her face when she spotted the driver and went towards him anyway. She didn't have a choice except she wants to trouble her dad with changing her pickup plans she really didn't want to worry her dad about little things like this.
âHi baby come on lets goâ
âIâm not a baby and what are you doing with my dadâs car?â
âYour dad asked me to come pick you upâ
âI donât like you so why donât you stop making yourself available for my dad to ask you to help with picking meâ
âWell you just have to get used to itâ
âI wonâtâ.
She didnât speak to him again except to ask where he was taking her when he took a different part from her normal route home and then fell into silence again. She was different; bolder, wilder and harsh. She was so cold and lost when he joined their car that morning and nothing he could come up with in his brain could explain how she could have transformed in less than 24hrs and yes her piercing stare as though she could read your mind, she proved she could when she answered his thoughts he could still hear her voice even though she hadnât really spoken 'Iâm happy and thatâs the reason for the change' could he have imagined those words or had she really talked to him? He dropped her at her dadâs office and the minute she saw her dad she started speaking again.
âDaddy please stop sending him to pick me from school I hate himâ
âShut up! You donât hate people who have done nothing wrong to you, he did you a favour by accepting to bring you from school or you would have been there for a really long timeâ
âOk but Iâd really prefer it once I donât get to see his face, I dislike him a lot dadâ
âWhat is wrong with you today young lady? Apologise to him right this instantâ
âI wonât, I donât like him and itâs the truthâ
âYoung lady I demand you say Iâm sorry right nowâ
âIf I do that I would be lying and you said it is wrong to lieâ
âIâm really sorry Ken for the embarrassment, I really donât know what is wrong with her todayâ her dad said to the uncomfortable Ken who had just brought his daughter.
âItâ ok chief, I prefer her outburst to the terrifying piercing glare she gives me each time she sees me it means she is getting used to my presenceâ ken said in reply.
âI really doubt thatâ Mr Oba said as he turned to his very sleepy baby girl. Ken excused himself and left the office.
âI can see your daughter is a fireballâ his colleague said to him as he settled his daughter on the office couch.
âI sincerely hope she is notâ
âDo you know why she doesnât like him?â
âMy girl is not the type to speak ill of someone and itâs the first time she has ever declared her dislike for him openlyâ
âMaybe itâs because she is getting used to his presence and she is trying to fight itâ
âLike I said before I doubt that is the case. I think this is getting serious; she canât contain the dislike within her anymore she had to say it. I just have to stop sending him to pick her upâ
âAnd also try to find out the reason for the dislikeâ and just then James ran into the office.
James ran into the office screaming âDad Iâm hungâŠâŠâŠâŠ..â his word was cut by the sight of the figure sleeping on the sofa in the office
âThe little Mr Green! How are you doing today buddy?â
âWho is that?â he totally ignored the greeting to clear his curiosity. The person looked familiar but a lot of the parents here had their kids in his school and he really couldn't tell if the person was male or female in their P.E uniform which was a tshirt above a blue short. And the figure was twisted to a very irregular shape from sleep.
âShe is my little girl and she didnât eat her lunch again. I better wake her so we can eat together at the canteen Iâm starvingâ
âSame here and I can see this little man is hungry tooâ Mr Green said. James was writing about the figure in the school uniform of his new school when she stired and recognition dawn on him.
âZirim, wake upâ her dad tapped her as he called and when she stood up she saw James staring back at her in disbelieve
âMe-go?â James called questioningly
âYes itâs I and stop looking at me as if you have seen a ghost, I told you my dad works here and Iâll guess this is your dadâ
âI see youâve met already, now apart from miss Ivan you have Miss Obaâ Mr Green said more poitedly to his son
âI see we are meant to be friends after all. Helen is down the hall Iâll tell her you are hereâ James was screeching unable to contain his excitement.
âYou met my girl in school and she spoke to you, this is new she rarely ever talks after her first year in the schoolâ Me-goo's dad asked in suprise.
âShe was in my class and spoke just to Helen and I, that may be because we share a seatâ James supplied the information
âI thought you are in nursery 3?â me-goo's dad asked unable to understand the information.
âYes, I amâ James replied
âThen how could she be your classmate?â Mr Oba asked again looking at his daughter hoping to get an explanation from her but she jst remained mute.
âI donno, I met her in the classâ James supplied getting bored with the conversation.
âI think there has being a mix up somewhereâ Mr Oba said, as he was about to pick the phone and call the school when the phone rang. âHello. Yes you are. I was just about to call you regarding her. Oh I see. When did that happen? And you didnât think I should know about it? Well, you know her well enough to know she wonât say a wordâ he spoke into the phone. He dropped the phone and declared âOk letâs go eat, what would you like baby?â
âIce cream and burgerâ
âThat is no food, it is junkâ
âI love mint and strawberry scope blend of ice creamâ
âOk, ok youâve got it but with real foodâ
The only thing she likes about these evening outings is the fact that she will be able to fool around with her brother without any adult on their tail. As much as all they do is tease each other till one of them canât take it anymore and start a fight (in which she is usually the loser), she adores him as an elder brother and
