Chapter 14
"NEPA!!"
Maya screamed from her room,I immediately looked up to see the lights,I knew what was going to happen next and I'm so not loosing this time...
I jumped out of my bed and out of my room,hurried downstairs as fast I could before he could beat me to it,taking 3 steps instead of one at a time but he was smarter,he took the slide of the stairs.
When we got to the living room,we were struggling for the TV remote.
"Ha!! I'm in charge once again"
"In charge?! I got it first"
"Let it go joor"
"I'm not releasing this thing"
"Ouch my hand"
"Leave it o!"
We screamed on top of our voices, struggling for the remote like the way Nigerians struggle for food at parties unfortunately NEPA thought they had a better way of resolving this argument,so they took the light.
"Shit!!"
"Stupid Nigerian electricity"
"Oya release it na"
"Never!!"
"Mummy!!Welcome back"Maya screamed,running to hug my mum.
Our mum's arrival made us drop the remote instantly.
You must be wondering why we are fighting,okay let me explain.
Anytime there was electricity,Mason would always be in charge of the remote whenever my mum wasn't around,he would end up watching Sports channel or action movies which was boring as hell!!
He claimed he had the right to be in charge since he was the oldest
My foot!!
Sometimes we would join him in watching sports
WWE to be precise
Sometimes we would go to our mother's room to watch TV when we got tired of pestering him to change the channel
Annoying twin !!
But we got tired of it so we decided the first person to get the remote would be in charge for the whole day,so that's the reason.
"Good evening,mummy"We both greeted her acting composed.
"Evening"
"Mason,put on the generator and Michelle serve me my food"She stated walking to her room to take a shower.
"Yes mummy"We both replied.
"Get out of my way"
"Hello?!I'm not in your way"
"Don't try me o"
"Can't you pass the other way?Must you pass here"
"I'm the oldest I choose where to pass"
"Ordinary 3 minutes seniority is catching you,better pass the other side except you want continue standing "I stated folding my arms.
"Move joor"He pushed me out of the way.
"Mu...mmm...y!"My mouth was covered as I tried to scream.
"Sorry"He apologized before leaving.
"Better"I muttered.
After the generator has been put on, I warmed the food,served my mum the remaining Jollof rice and meat in the pot with water.
After she finished eating,she went to the living room and changed the channel to Zeeworld,making a frown appear on Mason's face. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw his facial expression.
"What's funny?!"He asked trying to hide the anger in his voice.
"Nothing o"I replied sitting on one of the chairs.
He glared at me,that was the least he could do, knowing that my mum was in thesame space with us.
Dear Brother,you are as weak as pumpkin leaf right now
Really?!
"I'm traveling tomorrow"My mum said breaking the silence.
Our faces lit up the moment those words came from her mouth
Evil children lol
"To where?"Maya asked,she had a sad look on her eyes.
Mummy's girl
"My baby,I know you are the only one who will miss me"
"Just look at the way these two are smiling"She moved her fingers at us.
"I'm going to see Grandpa and ma,Grandma is currently ill,I need to take care of her,I will be away for a week"
I was already grinning like an idiot when I heard those words
Wait why I'm happy ?!
Because you want to bring boy to the house
Jace!!
"Rachael will be here with you guys while I'm away"My mum smirked.
Did she just ?!
Oh no she didn't
Mummy oo
She knew exactly what she was doing,she knew us too well
Duh she is your mother
A huge frown crept on our faces including Maya,we dreaded her.
Rachael was the last born of my mum's family,she was typical example of Slay Queen well,I'm not surprised after all she is a student of Unilag so of course she will surely be classy,pretty and bossy!!The only reason I like her is that she always gives me some of her things like clothes, wigs and shoes!!
I'm a shoe freak
And also the fact that I'm always her model for her makeup business which is cool but she is rude!
I thought Mason was the king of arrogance,rudeness and sauciness but you are going to meet the goddess of the trio.
God I hate her
She's 22,she is light skinned like my mother, she's beautiful no doubt about that,one of the reasons for her bitchy attitude,she's tall,not fat or slim,just has a good shape like me
Not really good tho
Okay let me describe it
She is like a proper fraction just like me,small boobs big ass
That's the only thing we have in common
The last time she came here,it was like hell,I had series of sleepovers at Olivia's and now history is about to repeat itself.
"Aunty Rachael?!"We all screamed.
"Mummy noo"
"We can take care of ourselves"
"Mummy,why do you want us to suffer like this?!"
"Haba na!"
"We don't need a babysitter"
We already complaining when our mum cut us short
"So you think,I will enter my car then smile and say take care of yourselves,be good children,then I will drive off,you will turn my house to hotel abi?!"
"Not possible"
"You that your eyes is at the back of your head,so that when I come back,you will start telling me funny stories"She said pointing to me.
What did I do again?!
"Then you,you will use it as an avenue to bring all those girls"She pointed at Mason.
"It won't work sef,you don't want Aunty Rachael abi?!"
"Nooo,we don't want her"We said in unison.
"Okay then,Uncle Tony will replace her"
This time the frown has disappeared and turned to shock.
"Ahhh!!"
"Mummy na"
"This thing you are doing it's not fair o "
"Life is not fair, sweetheart"
"Uncle Tony is even worse than Aunty Rachael"Maya complained.
We both agreed with her,Uncle Tony was the second to the last born,he may look young with his baby innocent face but....behind every cute face....there is a demon within
This guy oops sorry my manners
Uncle Tony was the true definition of Iron Man,the no-nonsense type but he was the CEO of F*ckboys Group of Nigeria
Okay I'm exaggerating
He was a badass player,the time he was around,he changed girls everyday like clothes,he would take them to the guest room and have fun...
I'm sure you know what I mean
I guess that's where Mason got that trait from,he was more like Mason's mentor with the motto of
Cute boys are always bad boys
I don't even blame the girls, whoever saw Uncle Tony would fall for him instantly for his good looks,God really took time to create him.
The abs,the amazing jawline,long lashes,carved brow,tall stature,brown eyes and his beards...
He's too cute
I'm not crushing on my uncle
Ewwww!!
The way girls usually screamed or moaned from the guest room made me believe those things between his legs must be huge...
Anyways whatever
After committing his evil deeds
Well he is an adult so he has the right to
He would bribe us by taking us out to the mall and fun places,he would buy us gifts to stop Maya and I from telling our mum that her younger brother turned her house to f*ck quarters.
The last time we saw him was Christmas and do not want to see him again,all he does is yell like a lion when someone does something wrong and he always watches sport channels 24/7
Annoying relatives...
"Okay fine"
"You can call Aunt Rachael"
"We don't want Uncle Tony"
We finally accepted before retreating to our rooms.
_____
"Bye mummy"
"Bye Sweethearts"
"Greet grandma"
"And Grandpa"
"I love you all,I will miss you "She pecked each of us before entering her car and drove off.
Madam Rachael has already balanced this morning in front of TV, laughing at whatever she was watching and also scrolling through Instagram.
We walked past her to our rooms but she called us back
This girl should not ruin my morning for me!!
"Come back here!"She ordered.
Can you imagine?!
"Don't you have chores to do this morning?!"She asked in bossy tone.
We didn't reply,we just looked at her like dummies.
"Will you answer me and stop looking like Zombies!"
I looked at my two siblings,they didn't look like who was going to reply her anytime soon.
Two stubborn beings
"Yes we do"I managed to say.
"Good,now get to it and stop being lazy"She ordered.
Lazy?!See pot is calling kettle charcoal
"Could you be less bossier?!"Mason glared at her.
I gasped when I saw the guts that he had,not like I was scared of her or anything,I was scared that she could call my mum and start crying over the phone that we are disrespectful and stubborn then Uncle Tony would come and replace her.
I'm seriously avoiding that
I nudged Mason to keep quiet then I remembered that Mason was very very stubborn so it would be of no use.
"We should get to it?!What will you be doing?"Maya asked,she was getting irritated already.
Who wouldn't be?!
Since I was calm one,I didn't say anything at all,I just kept quiet.
"See this 15 year old, people are talking,you are putting mouth,if I slap you"She yelled.
I don't think my siblings will be able to keep up with her for a week ?!
Uncle Tony is going to be here anytime from now
"I will just report you to my mummy"Maya frowned.
"Michelle,go to my room,take my white sneakers and wash it"She couldn't even say please.
Okay I can't keep up this good girl act anymore
"What is wrong with your hands?!I can help you pull your nails so you can wash it by yourself,I have things to do"I stated looking elsewhere.
"Oh!So you have joined them,it's because you now have a boyfriend,you are having mind"
My eye widened when she said those words
Boyfriend ?!
"Aunt Rachael, please I don't have a boyfriend"
I'm not lying
"Besides,I have better things to do with my time rather than love"I shrugged.
"Thank God you know o,WAEC is not far,better concentrate,I'm monitoring you"She pointed her two fingers to her eyes and then to me.
Gosh I hate her
"You are not the boss of me"I mumbled.
Good thing she didn't hear that.
We finally agreed to do the chores she chose for us to let peace reign,we had already finished breakfast,Maya was clearing the table when the door bell rang.
Mason was'nt ready to check the door,he never does,I decided to check,I grinned when I opened the door to see the
Future LOML
More like Heartbreaker of my life
"Why are you smiling like an idiot, who's at the door?"Rachael asked,stretching her neck to see.
I hope this girl isn't planning on bringing those her boyfriends.
I told him to come in,I was still smiling,my smile made my family look at me like what's doing this one?!
"This your boyfriend is cute o"Rachael smirked checking him out.
Every horrible person has a good side,she can be friendly and jovial sometimes,that's when it enters her head and whenever she was in this social happy mode you wouldn't be able to judge that she is a bossy saucy despicable person.
"He's not my boyfriend"I frowned.
But he will be,soon
Jace chuckled and greeted Rachael,he introduced himself as Mason's friend and classmate.
Rachael hasn't seen him before, whenever she was around, Jace didn't visit.
We went upstairs,leaving her to allow her eyes get glued to the TV.
"So they babysit you guys now"Jace burst into hearty laughter.
He's just keeps getting cuter
I bit my lips unconsciously as I watched him laugh,he immediately noticed it and smirked.
Please don't seduce me,not in front of Mason,I don't want to die just yet
"She's not our babysitter"Mason pushed him slightly,he seemed irritated by the fact that he was going to be babysit for a week.
I'm irritated too
"She just came to visit since she missed us"I argued.
"Yeah,right"He said in sarcasm.
"It seems we are going on a trip"Jace stated.
Trip?
"What trip?"I asked.
"School trip"
"But it's just first term"Mason remarked.
"Almost the ending of first term"I corrected.
"Yeah,I know"
"Principal talked to my dad today,he talked about doing some fun things for SS3 students before we leave"Jace said hopping on Mason's bed.
"But it's first term" I stated not believing this whole thing.
"I know that,Michelle"Jace rolled his eyes.
No more muffin?!
Oh I forgot Mason is here
Jacey is scared lol
"You know second term is stocked with various activities which includes interhouse sports and we won't be able to participate in all because of our forthcoming exams,so we will do part of those activities this term then alittle of it in second term"He explained.
"You should be happy,you are social prefect,you should be excited"He added.
Oh I'm excited
"So where are we going?"Mason asked.
"I don't know yet but I hope it's out of this state"Jace pouted.
"Trust me,it will be"I winked at him,he licked his lips at my action.
Why does Mason has to be here ?!
God doesn't want us to be alone
Maybe
