A Fist Fight-2
The carriage came to a stop in front of the door of the mansion. James hopped out of the carriage and thanked the soldiers for bringing him there. The soldiers just waved him goodbye and then went off. James then went to the door of the mansion and pushed it open.
As he opened the gate and headed inside, he was greeted by an open area with couches and a tea table. Behind the couches was a grand staircase made from white marble. Just above the couches was a very big and shiny chandelier that was illuminating the whole area.
James was very impressed by this area. The place was so huge, that if he was not wrong then his current house could fit under the roof of this place and there still be some place left to spare. Seeing the grand house, James's fire to become someone successful in the future started burning intensely. It was then…
"James! You are here." Came a sweet voice. James then looked to his side and there girl standing on his right in a pink color nightgown. She then started moving towards him.
The girl was 5 feet 8 inches tall. Her hair was braided in the form of two pigtails and she looked rather cute in her getup. She had black color hair and brown color skin. She had a curvaceous body which made her look ladylike, despite being younger than James. The girl also had a distinguishing feature and that was her eyes. She had round black color eyes while pupils were cylindrical just like that of a cat.
"Tamika.. it is nice to see you too… again," James said awkwardly. One could see that as James greeted Tamika his ears turned red and he couldn't make eye contact with her…
Tamika Grommer is the adopted daughter of Marcella Grommer. She is a Siberian girl who had been James's crush since he was a child. She is the only reason why James was very excited to visit Valgoor. Although he didn't like Marcella, it is only because of Tamika that James decided to visit Valgoor…

After Tamika came close to James, she hugged him. While James awkwardly stood there while Tamika hugged her. After they both separated from each other, Tamika asked him…
"How was your journey. I hope you didn't cause any trouble." She said with a smile. While James started beating faster and faster as he saw how close Tamika was standing to him. He could smell her shampoo from where he was standing. He could tell that she had just come out of her bath which is why her skin was glowing.
"HQ to James, hello! Can you hear me?" Tamika said while snapping her finger in front of James's face. This broke his stupor and James came back to reality.
"Yeah yeah… I am very tired to I just… Yeah... So where is aunt Marcella? I would just greet her. And then be on my way…" James asked Tamika while stuttering.
"She is in her office right now. Come one, I will show you the house." Tamika said.
"Su.. Sure." James said.
"Come one weirdo," Tamika said, and then she started heading deeper into the house.
Tamika gave a tour of the mansion to James. It was a very big mansion with a lot of rooms. There was a designated ballroom, a library, a practice arena, an indoor pool, an artifact room, a study room, an office, etc. And after giving a very extensive and cute tour, Tamika brought James to the office.
As they came to her office, Tamika pushed the gate aside and walked inside the room. As soon as they entered the room they heard James's aunt yells…
"KNOCK BEFORE YOU ENTER ANY ROOM! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TEACH YOU COMMON MANNERS!" Marcella yelled.
James entered the room and saw his aunt sitting by the other end of the room. She had a stack of papers in front of her and a pen in her hand. His aunt looked pissed and was glaring at Tamika like she was just about to kill her…
"Good evening Aunty Marcella," James said as he looked at his aunt's pissed-off face. Hearing his voice, Marcella looked at him and started reprimanding him.
"James! Why didn't you stop her? You should know better, you are a smart boy. Next time stop my daughter from behaving like a hooligan…" she said.
"Ah… Sure. I will stop her." James said to cool his aunt down. But then he noticed Tamika glared at him from the side.
"Kiss ass" Tamika mumbled.
"TAMIKA LANGUAGE!" Marcella yelled again. Then she got up from her chair and said "And go to your room and change into some decent clothes. A lady shouldn't be wearing clothes when a man is in the house." Marcella said.
"What?" David and Tamika both exclaimed. They both understood what Marcella wanted to say, but still they were startled by her choice of words.
"I mean wear some decent clothes. NOW GO!" Marcella exclaimed as well.
"Yeah yeah…" Tamika said and then she went away.
"James, let me show you your room. Freshen up and then join us for dinner" Marcella said while walking towards James with a big smile on her face.
James didn't think of himself as an expert on facial expressions. But still, he was pretty good at judging someone's social calls. But for some reason, he could never understand his aunt. Her mood changes every second which made her a little irritable. Just a few minutes ago, she was angry at Tamika and now she was smiling and escorting him towards his room. Witnessing this, James remembered a saying that he read somewhere. The saying was about how unpredictable women are in real life….
