Chap 4

"Your phone's ringing,Zizi baby" Bernard said, handing my phone to me.

"oh, thanks... hello!"

"hello! where are you?" the caller yelled.

"oh whoosh" I exclaimed, taking a glance at the callers ID.

"Hello!" mom yelled.

"oh Mom, is that you?"

"where are you??" she yelled.

I almost dropped my phone. I mean she was too loud. if I had an ear pod on, I'd have been a deaf man by now.

"Mom, you're too loud!"

"Zikora, for the last time where are you?" she screamed.

"whoah, well, I'm heading straight to Bijoux Mall"

"I want to see you home by 5pm we need to talk".

"yes mom!"

"OK bye" she said disconnecting the call.

It Was just a few minutes drive and we arrived with some of my escorts (it was obvious mom sent more).

"welcome to bijoux mall" Bernard said.

He opened the car and I alighted, the entrance was grande and superb, the interior was overly awesome. we went to the handbag section and I took few bags. we went to accessories section...I was awestruck.. my mouth wide opened..I haven't been to bijoux mall. Mom would always say

"Don't Worry, you stay home, I'll go to bijoux mall and get you fancy stuffs...I don't need your tantrums there".

I selected Some really cool necklaces, rings and bracelets.I didn't care if he was able to pay. thank goodness, I was with my ATM card.

"you could take more!" he urged.

"really?"

"put your trust on me, baby zizi"

"OK"

We Went to the clothing section and he picked (not me,I ain't greedy) way too much cloths for me. he even wanted us to go to the shoe section but no,I stopped him.

"OK, I'll buy you some things" I said staring at the things he've selected.

"no,I asked you out... you didn't do that...I did.. ok?"

"but...."

"no buts...."he interrupted.

"ok, since you're hesitating, make I chop money na"

"don't you dare speak pidgin in public" he said laughing hard.

"why shouldn't I?"

"because you sound funny!"

"ok, shall we?"

"don't get angry! you actually sound lovely" he said laughing hard.

"oo, let's go!" I said stomping my feet on the floor.

We Went and our picks were calculated and it amounted to Π150,000. I knew he wouldn't be able to pay it. I was about to bring forth my ATM card when I saw him bring out his ATM card.I was waiting for the result,but it was positive.. he really had the money. my stuff was packaged and handed to me and out we were to the car while Zimba helped me with the stuff.

"MA, should I put it in our own car?" Zimba asked.

"yes, and please don't call me Ma... I'm not old" I replied.

"oh really baby!" Zimba asked.

"urghh.... Zimba"

"yes ma, ma'am, Miss Zikora or zizi"

"whatever!!"

The Stuff were all settled In the car and we all zoomed out of the Mall.

"thanks so much, Bernard!"

"don't mention"

"Really? I'm really thankful!"

"As Your fan, I'd do anything to impress you!".

"OK! OK! thanks, love you Mr. fan" I said, giving him a kiss on the cheek, poised to leave.

"Wait! wait!" Bernard screamed looking at me wide eyed obviously blushing.

"what?"

"what did you just do?"

"nothing"

"never mind, this is for mom!" he said getting a package infront of the Car's seat.

"what's that?" I asked, curious.

"that's eh.... pizza, burgers.. eh.. sandwich" he listed.

"you bought it at RSVP restaurant?" I asked.

"yah!"

"really? AWWWNNN! so thoughtful of you! thanks baby!" I said.

"OK, bye!"

"bye!".

"driver lets go!"he said,biding me a bye.

Mom was glaring at me from the first floor.

"Hi" I shouted smiling.

"OK!"

"Zimba, get those stuffs in here!"

"yes zizi" he saluted...

I went into the gigantic building.

"good evening ma" Sarah greeted.

"where's Mom?" I asked.

"she might be in her room."

"OK, is my room swept?"

"no!"

"why?"

"cause you locked the room, ma'am"

"oh, Zimba here's the key to my room" I said launching the keys to his direction.

"OK,ma'am" he said his focus on the key being projected.

"Zikora!"

"not again!" I sniggered.

"What? What Have I done? to you?" she asked her voice breaking.

"what did I do wrong?" I asked wide eyed in defense.

"Zikora Wills in RSVP restaurant the senators son both were caught in a pool, doing what Zikora?" she screamed.

"Nothing Mom!"you don't trust me?" I asked.

"shut up Zikora! what where you doing with the boy??" she screamed seriously.

"we went to chill out! more like a date" I said.

"urghh.... Zikora, don't you get it? you're being..."

"Mom, don't worry, OK? can take good care of myself" I interrupted, pecking her on the cheek.

"Zikora, be careful OK!" she said her hands on my shoulder.

"OK let's forget it! Mom, actually the boy that was with me, is my classmate, Bernard... and err.. he got you this. and errrr... got me all of this! Sarah! Zimba!" I screamed.

"yes ma'am!" they both answered in unison.

"get those stuffs here!"

"yes ma'am"

"wow! so nice of him!" mom said, peeping into the bag.

"OK, here's the stuff... Sarah and Zimba be fast!" I yelled standing akimbo.

"OK ma'am" they said in unison.

"he's dad is pretty rich.. so I guess I expect him to do this!" she said, dropping heavily on the lounge sofa.

"yeah, he's dad is into politics and his mom owns a hospital abroad" I explained.

"impressive!"mom exclaimed.

I got the stuffs out of their wrap and showed them to Mom. Mom was pretty amazed... she was basically fighting with me on who'd take a silver bracelet...I gave her one of the bracelet. and showed mom the rest and after it all.. it was all kept in My room.

"call him over for dinner, maybe?" mom said staring at me poised to leave

"Really? thanks! ok when?" I asked looking up from my iPhone.

"tomorrow evening!" she snapped.

"love you!" I said airing a kiss to Mom.
