chapter 4

To the stars that listened and the dreams that were answered ✨

"Thank goodness you're back",Nan rushes to me as soon as I enter the house, she looked troubled.

My mind quickly went to Khloe I hope she hasn't spilled the tea.

"What happened Nan?what's troubling you?"

She was about to speak when she noticed Mia's presence.

"Hey Mia help me take my jacket upstairs would you?"

She takes it and runs up the stairs then stops;

    "Uncle Durango I wanted to ask if I could take the Hersheys you kept in the fridge?".

  Her eyes were super big and cute whenever she was asking for things, it was just hard to  say no to her.

"Of course you can it's all yours"

"All!" She gasps in disbelief. I look at her astonished face and wonder if I said something wrong .

I move closer to her;"I said it's all yours ,it's all yours "

"What about miss Khloe?"

"Oh Khloe she isn't a big fan of chocolates and I'm sure she'll understand "

I wasn't sure if she liked chocolate or not but by the way she looked I doubt. You can just see someone and know that person is a chocolate lover.

"Well I'll go share my Hersheys  with her,I like her a lot she's pretty", she says.

           Nan only smiles patiently waiting for me to finish my conversation with Mia. I also was curious about what she was going to tell me but Mia won't stop talking.

"Mia dear there's more to a pretty face. In this life don't judge a book by it's cover----" I notice a small frown on her face probably out of disappointment. "But miss Khloe is beautiful in and out. Now go drop my jacket in the washer and stay with Khloe okay"

"Okay " and finally she was out of sight.

"I'm all ears Nan, what did you want to tell me?" I turn my attention back to her, she was standing just behind me arms crossed.

"I thought we'll never get rid of her", she smiles referring to Mia .

"Me too."

"It's just about your fiancee Khloe, I was talking to her today and she looked lost in another world . Then it was time for supper and she said she wasn't eating, i even offered to make her favorite meal but she still refused. She looks unhappy I don't know why", she concludes very concerned.

Oh God this is what I didn't want,I told this girl to behave I don't want to be asked questions or hear things like this .

"Nan don't get too worried it's nothing , maybe she's still adjusting or because she preferred to have dinner when I was around but whatever it is I'll find out,okay?" I try to give her an assuring smile which she falls for.

"Okay. She just got me worried. Mia and I would be going to our quarters now and we'll leave you love birds alone."

"Nan, my food I'm starving"I groan."I made sure I didn't eat any restaurant today". I say. She didn't like me eating out but I didn't stop, I just didn't have the time to actually cook something for my self. My fridge was always filled with junk.

The room is filled with her laughter, "of course I prepared your favorite,it's covered on the dining table", explains why I've been smelling the aroma of jollof spaghetti.

"Let me just go and have a shower before I have my dinner."

"Call Mia when you go upstairs , we'd be leaving. Goodnight son "she plants a kiss on my forehead,",and extend my greetings to Khloe dear. "

"I will Nan, goodnight"

I go upstairs to meet Mia seriously conversing with Khloe but my room looked different. Half of my room looked like a thousand and one fairies pooped rainbow and sunshine unremorsefully there.

"What the fuck did you do Khloe?!"

She rolls her eyes to Mia and they both laugh were they taking me for a joke right now.

"I told you he'll be very surprised", Mia giggles.

I stood there with seething anger. She had covered half of my room with pink and purple wallpapers,put her own bed at that side and put a  colorful curtain to demercate her side from mine.

     Everything contrasted from the grey room I once adored not until now of course, who gave her the fucking audacity to do so?

"Khloe!,"

She rolls her eyes at me ; "Durango?" She says my name with an eye that says ' would you really want to shout at me when Mia is here'

  I didn't want to because of course I knew Mia , she's a chatterbox and if I shout at Khloe she'll tell Nan .

  "What's taking you time Mia,---Oh my", Nan looks at the room then start laughing.

" Was this what you and Mia were up to?"she questions khloe in a fit of laughter.

      "Isn't it wonderful?, " Mia asks.

"It is "Nan replies then turns to me ,"Don't you like it Durango?", Of course I hated it she turned half of my room to a jamborin for fairies.

"I'm just shocked for words", I manage to say. It was the truth anyway.

Khloe gets up from her bed and Mia follows her.

      "Nan, Durango has such a beautiful soul and heart but the color of his room is not showing that, so like the way I brought some color to his life I  decided to bring some color into his room", who knew she was also good at pretense.

       Every one liked her speech I was the only one who got the sarcasm . "It's lovely Khloe, now that I'm here I might just tell you goodnight. Come on Mia,"

"Goodnight uncle Durango, goodnight Khloe. Enjoy your night" she added with a mischievous grin.

     She insisted Khloe followed them downstairs to lock up, what ever bond they were forming I hope it wouldn't just hurt her when Khloe leaves here after a year cause of course she will.
