Reminder

"Yeah,yeah" I replied to my friend at the other end of the phone and I cut the call. Am damn tired,am not sure I would be able to attend the PTA meeting at Jotham's school tomorrow,cause am going to be sleeping in. As I  enter the house, I hear sounds of laughter coming from the living room. Jotham's supposed to be sleeping by now,I've told him several times not to wait up for me, cause I might not come back from work early. As I entered the room, I sighted a familiar red hair and I knew am doomed. 

"May I join you guys?" I asked sitting on the sofa.

"Momsi, you're back" Jotham my 3year old son said beaming with smiles. I went over to him and picked him up and kissed his hair, I then turned my attention to the red hair saying

"What's up Les? I thought you got lost in India and would never find your way back here"  I said

"If I did get lost, you would come find me cause you can't live without your favorite person" she replied grinning. Les has always been my friend for as long as I can remember and my favorite bitch.

"Deceive yourself. So what brings you here, I thought you'd  be travelling for your tour in Spain"

"I will am just not ready yet, and am here to pass a very important message" she said.

Hearing that I told Jotham to go to his room,so as to give us privacy, because if this has to do with the Creed,am not sure I want my son to be involved.

After whining for some minutes, Jotham went upstairs to his room and as soon as his door clicked shut, for some reason Les became very excited and she jumped to her feet grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Spill it what's giving you the grin fever?" I asked, grin fever is when someone smiles too much without reason, at least that's what I call it.

"You know, the Charm Fest is coming up right" she said smiling. Ugh she came all the way here to tell me that. Ewww.

"Am not going and that's final" I said making her smile drop.

"You're going, cause you need the air babe,you need to chill maybe get laid by some handsome guys there and by the way Jotham needs the break and a baby brother" she said

"Really, you want me to go get laid as a break, I rather swim in a can of worms than do that and by the way Jotham would get a break because he's spending the holidays with my Grandma" I said. Yeah my Grandma is alive.

"But you need the break Vee, you need a life sorry to say, please do this because of me and all those who care for you please"

"No,am not going and that's it" I said. I don't want to clutter my life with that nonsense, I don't need the distraction, I just want to be alone, but I also want to be free, but I can't cause of this whole Creed and my own shortcomings.

"Just try Vee, I really want you to attend, I know its going to be fun and you need fun, I hope you change your mind" she said getting up

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Home?" She said raising her eyebrows.

"Why don't you spend the night here and you can go tomorrow" I suggested

"Nope, I will not I've got  someone waiting for me at home for some stuff,unless you care to join" she said

"Ewwww,gross no, that's disgusting" I said scrunching up my nose

"OK then, bye see ya later, and don't forget okay, Charm Fest here we come" she said smiling.

"Bye" I said, as she walked out.

I went upstairs to my room,did the necessary and laid down to sleep. But I couldn't, I kept thinking of what Les said and it was quite true, I needed a life, but that does not mean getting laid is part of it. I think I would attend the fest, I guess there's a first time for everything right. I sigh. Turning off the light switch, I started falling asleep, but in the shadows I noticed a movement, but I don't care anymore.
