chapter 19
A new month.
It was Kike's month and her birthday was in ten days and she wanted everything to be set before then.
We would be visiting the hall with the events planner today so I had to go to Kike's place but on getting to her place, the door was locked, it was still early in the morning and I wondered where she could have gone to. Did she probably decide to drop Keyshia off at school?
I brought out my phone and dialled her number. She didn't pick until the third ring.
"Where are you?" That was the first thing I said without bothering to greet her.
I heard her yawn from the other end. Was she just waking up? Didn't she sleep at home? What of Keyshia? Did she stay home alone? Different thoughts crossed my mind until her voice interrupted.
"I'm at Gbohunmi's place."
"What! You didn't sleep home last night? Did you leave Keyshia all to her self?"
"K.Y calm down, Keyshia is no longer a kid and I didn't leave her all to her self, she slept over at her friend's place, they were having movie night or something," she explained and I sighed.
"You've got lot of explanation to do, anyway, we have an appointment with the events planner by ten, meet me at my place," I hung up before she could respond.
Is she in a relationship with Gbohunmi? I asked no one as I headed back to my workplace. The honk of a car interrupted my thoughts and I turned back to look at the car.
"Hey," someone called from the black SUV car and I looked at the person.
"Hi," I greeted upon recognition. It was Amara, Tise's friend. She's been visiting him a lot lately and that made me curious too.
"Are you going home?" She queried and I nodded.
"Get in, let me drop you off," she offered and I shook my head.
"It's okay."
"No, it isn't, I'm going there too, get in, I don't kidnap," she laughed at the latter word but I didn't find it amusing at all.
Giving in, I opened the door and entered the car. She shined her teeth at me and I returned it with a half-hearted smile.
"What did you come and do here?" She questioned immediately I entered the car. So much for believing we'll stay quiet throughout the ride.
"I visited my sister."
She started the car before glancing at me, "Does she work for a household here too?"
I found the question offensive but didn't react to it.
"She owns an apartment here."
She turned to look at me and somehow I felt proud. Proud that Kike's sugar daddy bought her an apartment.
"She owns an apartment and you're working as a maid?" She asked with incredulity in her voice.
"It's complicated so, you can't understand," I concluded and she nodded.
I believed we would stay quiet after that but Amara proved me wrong.
"You know Tise never ate any other person's meal except Crystal's mom, I wonder how you became his personal cook," she started and I sighed.
"I wonder too."
"Are you that good in cooking or is there something more to it?"
I looked at her and she flashed me a smile. The gateman opened the gate and she drove into the compound. Immediately she stopped, I got out of her car and she did the same.
"See you later," she waved at me before walking into the house with her mini skirt moving from one place to another. She was dressed in a black mini skirt and brown halter neck top that presented all blessings from God.
I wonder if she was a prostitute or just liked dressing provocatively. I headed to the servants quarters when she was out of sight.
"Why are you back so quick?" Juliana's voice greeted me immediately I entered the room.
"Kike wasn't home, what of Crystal?"
Juliana slid her legs into her slippers before responding, "She's in the kitchen."
"Where are you off to?"
"I have to get Karen's laundry before she starts barking," we both laughed at her last word before she left the room.
As soon as I plopped on my bed, I heard the beep from my phone. It was a message from Tise, my face lit up as I opened my phone. We'd been good online friends in the past week, though we rarely talked physically but were like best friends online.
Please, come upstairs
I read the message and wondered why he wanted me to go to his room. I'd already served his breakfast so what could he want? I rose to my feet and headed to his room.
On getting there, I met Amara eating the jollof spaghetti I'd prepared for Tise.
"This is so good, now I know why Tise made you his personal cook," she said and I turned to Tise who was lying on the bed.
"Is there still Spag?"
I shook my head. I'd eaten the remaining Spag earlier when my stomach was begging for food.
"Can you please prepare another one? The one at school is not as good as this if not I'll have decide to have breakfast at school."
"No problem, I'll prepare it."
"Okay thanks," he flashed me a smile before I glanced at Amara who was still eating. I felt like slapping her for causing me another trouble of preparing the meal again but I couldn't so, I just left his room and headed straight to the kitchen.
By the time the food was done, Kike called me that she was downstairs, so, I quickly served the meal and joined my sister downstairs.
"Good morning," I greeted Gbohunmi who was at the driver's seat before wriggling my brows at Kike.
"Morning, I hope you had a beautiful night?"
"Yeah," I opened the door and fit into the backseat but not without pinching my sister. She had some real explanation to do.
As always, I stayed quiet through the ride and watched my sister converse with Gbohunmi. Seems like they really liked each other but then Kike was a big case.
It wasn't long before we arrived at the events planner place. After the normal swapping of greetings, she led the way to the halls.
"I think this is better," Gbohunmi interrupted as my eyes roamed around. To me, the hall was too big and extravagant when it isn't as if she was having her wedding.
"I prefer this too," Kike agreed and I smiled crookly at her.
"So how much is it?" Gbohunmi inquired and my eyes widened. Was he planning to pay for the hall when Kike's sugar daddy already covered all expenses. I'm certain Kike talked him to it, she wanted to keep the money her sugar daddy gave her to her self.
The events planner mentioned the prize and immediately after that, Gbohunmi transferred the money which left me shocked. We discussed further on the catering and other things before leaving.
Gbohunmi got a call from his workplace so he just dropped us off at Kike's place before driving off.
"Get your gists ready," I shouted and Kike smiled.
As we entered her house, she changed into a red casual gown before joining me in the living room.
"So, you guys are together?" I started and Kike smiled. I still find it hard to see my sister blushing over a guy, something she's never done.
"Yeah, we are dating," she replied and I shook my head at how flushed she was.
"So you spent the night at this place?"
"Yeah, it's just in the estate and I must admit it's one of the best night ever in a long time,"she gushed and I shook my head.
"So, you're going to stop seeing your sugar daddy right?"
"Of course not," she tucked her legs beneath her before continuing, "Why should I? The man is the one funding the money while Gbohunmi is the one funding the love."
"You are high."
She gave a dismissive wave of her hand, "Oh please, that's what we call enjoyment."
"I just hope it won't backfire," I told her and she glared at me before picking up the remote.
