chapter 20

           What did you just say?? Antra asked flabbergasted

              I said I asked James to come pick Maggie up for the weekend

             Why would you make such a stupid decision, are you going to hand her on a silver platter to him?? She asked looking at me as if am nuts

               The thing is dat I have been rather selfish which is wrong, James haven't been given the right to watch his child grow and now that he has found her who am I to keep him away from her? If e look at it properly, he is the victim and if he files for a court order he can take her away from me forcefully but he chose not to do so and the least I can do is give him quality time with her, I sighed defeated I can't remember when I became this selfish

             Can't you just stop thinking about others for a while, what's wrong in you wanting the girl for yourself? Didn't you suffer to bring her with you, why would you ant to give her up now, she said desperately trying to talk some sense into me

               Without James Maggie would have been dead and if giving her up would give her happiness and make her stay with her Dad, I would do just that, I yelled tears welling up Jin my eyes

               I guess it is up to you to make the decision but please think of yourself too. If you dare cry on me I would pluck your eyes out, she said with a sad smile

                I most certainly wouldn't, I said with a smile of my own

                Now that's it is all settled can we go make dinner, my boo is going to be home soon, she said as she scrambled up with a sly smile

                      Why would I help you cook for your boo? Don't you know how to cook again?? I asked doubtful because she has never asked me to help her cook for Ben before.

                     Well the food has to be extra today since today is special, she said maintaining the sly smile

               What are you planning this girl? My hand no dey ooo, I said raising my hand up

                  Well you don't have to know but before that help me check between this two lingeries which one is more sexy, she asked opening he wardrobe

              Soo you want to get laid, you this naughty girl, I said understanding her. But what has food got to do with this? I asked befuddled

                   Soo a virgin knows what getting laid means, she asked in mock shock. Anyways if he eats well, he would have more energy to pump harder, but a virgin like you wouldn't understand that

                Why do you keep emphasizing on my virginity, it is not as if it is a bad thing, I grumbled lowly

                It is to me like how can you survive without fucking I mean that's the second greatest thing after ice cream, she said in a tone that means unbelievable

                   We won't talk about my sex life, I said with finality as I stood up to head to the kitchen

                 Oh!! Do you mean the lack of it?? She asked sarcastically as she runs out of the room

                You bitch!! I yelled as I ran after her. I swear I am going to have her head.

                                 ***

        I also ate a lot of chocolates there, Maggie said. She has been recounting her day since when James dropped her off which is about thirty minutes ago and the annoying part is that I have to pretend to be interested

                 Do you mean you are all those sweet things alone? Your daddy didn't stop you, I asked wondering how he would let her take ice cream, chocolates, cookies and cake in one stomach. I guess he is trying to impress her

               Well he bought them for me, she said waving her hand dismissively.  I swear this girl might be young but she's a sass queen

                 Ok then but do you have any space left in your Tommy for dinner, I asked

             I just have to poo then there would be a lot of space she said grinning before she took off to the toilet

                 That girl is something else I thought as antra walked down the stairs. She has changed her dress into a ripped bum short and a thin hand singlet.

              I guess you changed your mind about the lingerie? I asked

             Well ladies use lingeries, so I thought why should I copy them when I am different and unique, she said as she sat with a dramatic sigh

              You are something else, I muttered under my breath as I chuckled

                 As if on cue, the doorbell rang. I think that's Ben, I would go get it, Antra said as she hurriedly got up and check her reflection on the TV before heading to the door.

                Welcome back, I said as Ben entered the living room

                 Thank you Fariya and where is that bundle of joy, he asked looking around for Maggie

               I am here uncle, she said running towards him as she gave him a heart warming embrace

                Where were you? I brought you a gift, he said pecking he forehead

                   I went to empty my stomach for dinner,what is it that you brought home for me, she asked eagerly checking his hands

                    Tadaaa..... He exclaimed as he handed a shiny bracelet to her. I was walking along when I saw it and I was like I have a beautiful princess at home so why can't I get it for her and that was what I did

                 I love it, it is Soo pweety, she said as she kissed him on his cheeks

                If I don't know better I would think you are trying to steal my fiance from me, Antra said fake glaring at her

             You are just jealous Aunt and it doesn't even fit you, Maggie said waving her off

            Look at this small girl, I am going to see who would take you along for shopping tomorrow, Antra said walking away she has hit a jackpot

                 Are you really not going to take me along with you?? Maggie asked visibly taken aback. Please take me with you nah, I promise I will be good... She begged as she followed Antra leaving me and James laughing our heads off
