Memories of the past

       I look around. It is somewhere familiar, the home I grew up in. Slowly the green gates opened up for us. Aziel drives slowly through the narrow path, at the side there is a huge mango tree, and some flowers and the path is covered with gold tiles. It's warmly and the sight is worth ogling at. The garage opens for the car. The garage is not like no other it can take up to fifty cars. You can say a mini parking lot.

 I sit in the car recollecting all my old memories, why would he bring me here. He hates it here, is he prepared to see his parent's murderer that is my father. Or is it my illusion of his change will be wrapped up here. 

         Aziel helps me out of the car, we saunter into the mansion. The walls are coated with gold paint. with statues of horses in at least four places in the living room. My grandfather was once a horse rider. He was very prominent in the days, then my dad took another turn and created a shoe factory. These horses are statues of the best and his favourites of them all.

               The factory is called " the   Pearl " where I got my name. The Smiths were one of the best shoe designer companies in  City D till än dreadful fall my younger sister, Kaelie handles the business now, her designs are dope and are the future of the Smiths. My eyes get watery at a memory. A memory that hunts my sweetest dreams like a pest on fresh vegetables.

   It was six years ago. At this very spot I stand on, years back I saw my dad fall off the balcony to the floor on his legs. He almost lost his life in front of me. Thankfully

Since then I started to understand how Aziel felt after losing both of his parents. The thought of the amount of blood that oozed from his head. Subconsciously I gripped Aziel's arm I was hurting him still he did not flinch at all. It is something I usually do bite my lip or clutched my hands when I am thinking about a painful memory.

    " Sorry " I left his hand and look at him guiltily. In my dazing, I sent my nails into his skin and he says nothing.

He smiled at me lovingly " I understand that being here brings back bad memories . You should always remember I will be here any time you need me . We are partners " he pauses for a while and licks his pink thin lips " For life ".

     ' For life ' i could work will that it's what I need. The way he says it makes me feel calm. I stare up at those black eyes, those eyes that hide the pain. He lifts my chin while I jerk up to rich his lips. We are so close we could feel each other breath, this is it. When I finally kiss Aziel. I love him so much, now that I know at least half of what he has been through. We can help each other. This is it, our lips brush and.

    " Ahem," a familiar voice from behind interrupted.

  Seeing her the situation gets awkward, I cover my face on Aziel's chest to hide my shame and red face. I hear her mocking giggle.

   It was my little sister Kaelie, she is a redhead, green eyes very tall with pearl-like white teeth. People say we look exactly alike except for the fact she has red hair, neh I don't see it. If I look anything like her, then I am gorgeous. For God's sake, my sister is goddamn hot. She doesn't look anything like a woman who has given birth to two children.

        She is wearing a red crop top which exposes her hourglass figure and tan body. The skinny ripped jeans she is wearing expose her hairless long legs. God, I need to shave my legs, I find it stupid when I see women shave their legs because I feel thirty per cent of my personality is on my legs. 99 of out 100 who have met me always compliment my leg's hair because they sleep as if rubbed with gel.

    " Are you just going to stare?" she asked me trying to give KC, Kaelie's daughter a piggyback.
