"What are you two doing?
Please, hurry up! I will stay back now!"
"Sorry! Sorry son, we are ready! God! Your temper is not good at all! You need to change or else...you won't be going near my grandchild!"
It was a bright Thursday morning and the whole family were getting ready for the beach. They had to postpone their beach outing because Cho Hei was under the weather.
Though she didn't want that, Nathaniel didn't let her and waited for a few days before going out.
"Please let's go! And you! Why are you not wearing the gown I saw on you?!"
It was now officially St.gardens turn. He frowned after seeing her putting on jeans and a top. He didn't like it.
"Aunty asked me to change that to this one"
St.gardens said to him.
"And why is that?!
Mother, did you do that?"
"What! I want to get to the beach safe and sound!"
"What is that supposed to mean, mother?"
"Do I need to state the obvious fact! Please, get in and take us "safely" to the beach!"
"Hmmm!"
"You! Sit in front with me, it will be too stuffy for mother with you there!"
"Says who?!"
Cho Hei stopped her son immediately.
"St.gardens dear, come sit with me!"
"Yes Auntie"
St.gardens obeyed Cho Hei immediately and they both sat at the back seat.
"Hmmm!"
He sighed deeply but he didn't say anything afterwards. They all entered the van, with everything good in it, and then off they went. But before they did, Nathaniel had already called his manager, Bi Chao to drive them to the beach instead while sitting with his mother and St.gardens at the back.
"How can you squeeze yourself in here, Nathaniel?!
You were the one who said it would be stuffy for me if St.gardens sit here with me. So how about now that you joined in?!"
"I really do not understand you anymore... Cho Ja Nathaniel!"
"What's there, mother?
If you could accommodate her, so why can't you accommodate me too?!"
He said to his mother. Cho Hei shook her head while looking at her son.
"By the way, mother. Which beach are we going to?"
"I thought I told you last night! Hmm! It's Oniru! It is much better to go on weekdays instead. I like my privacy!
"Hmm!"
*******
"Get everything out!"
"Mother?
Aren't we cruising?"
He asked his mother skeptically. He did not like what he was seeing when they arrived at the beach.
"This is a very good private beach here in Lagos. We've been here before, though you didn't really stay long. I don't understand what you mean by "cruising!"
"Please, get into the boat and let's go!"
"St.gardens dear?"
"Yes Auntie"
"Have you been here before?"
Cho Hei asked st.gardens.
"No, I've not been here before, Auntie"
"Hmm! Don't worry, you will like it! And I want you to loosen up a little. You don't speak much. Are you afraid of something?"
She touched st.gardens soft cheeks lightly with her palm.
"I'm not, Auntie. You have been really good to me since I came to your house. It's just that... I…"
She glanced at the reaper who was staring straight at her. Trying to shred those clothes off her! Cho Hei quickly understood her point and she didn't say anything else, and just hugged the poor soul.
After awhile, they were on the beach, with their food, snacks, drinks and fruits. Right there for them to devour. It was a beautiful outing. The beach is so beautiful, with horse rides, clean sand, hits and other beautiful things in there. St.gardens smiled as soon as her feet touched the sand, and the mother and son noticed it.
"Let's go change Nathaniel!"
"Ok mother"
And right there, they all removed their outer wears and were now exposing the main thing. Immediately Nathaniel's eyes saw those beautiful things on St.gardens, he started drowning again. She was putting on shorts and a net top with a breast band. She was looking too delicious.
"F**k! This girl…! She is just too hot for my liking! Oh man!"
He said internally and he started feeling very hot. To avoid an eruption, he…
"Umm...mother?"
"Mhm?"
"I will go and swim now!"
Cho Hei"....."
She was surprised because he wasn't the type to go swimming at the beach. His mother looked at him in disbelief.
"Son, since when do you swim at the beach?"
"Since now, mother!"
Nathaniel immediately ran off and right into the cold water to "cool off!" Cho Hei just stared at him and did not know what to make of her son.
"Just be careful, will you?!!"
"Don't worry, mother!!"
St.gardens and Cho Hei both sat in their private hut, while sipping their coconut drink. The beautiful picture right there was priceless.
People could not stop looking at them. St.gardens felt very shy with so many people around. No matter what she did, they never stopped looking at them and taking pictures of them. And right there…
"Hello madam! Hello my dear!"
A man greeted them. An indian man that looked rich, with everything on him.
"Hello! How may we help you?"
Cho Hei asked him.
"Madam?
Umm... please, can I have a word with your daughter?"
"And why is that?
"I like her, I would like to go out with her!"
Cho Hei looked at St.gardens and said…
"My dear?"
"Yes Auntie"
She answered her.
"You heard the man, right?"
"Yes Auntie"
"Do you wish to go out with him?"
St.gardens looked at Cho Hei and shook her head.
"Hmmm! Then, you should tell him personally!"
St.gardens looked at the man and said.
"I'm sorry sir, I don't want to go out with you!"
Nathaniel decided to stop swimming after seeing all the girls go crazy because of him! His smooth well built chest with his slim and well defined waist all was exposed for them to see and they almost died!
And the wave almost killed them a second time! His shorts melted with his skin, bringing out the real shape of "everything!", and his hair dripping wet on his beautiful creamy skin! He was looking "very hot!"
While walking back to their private hut, he saw the crowd right there in front of their hut and wondered what was happening and had to check. He walked closer and heard the worst thing from the indian man and Patiently waited on what St.gardens would say. After hearing her response, he became a bit relaxed until…
"Oh! But I…"
And right there, a heavy sound was heard which made them shiver. Nathaniel could not hold himself anymore.
"Didn't you hear her?!!!"
