David's P.O.V

We collected all the material that was used for the rehearsal and gathered together for the final word.

The final word was a prayer. As much as you see her growling and roaring here, she is a prayer warrior herself. 

We created a circle for the people who were available for practice and made a circle. 

"Let's believe and pray," said my mother before leading us for a word of prayer.

"Amen!" We all chorused after she finalized the prayers.

"Dinner is on me!" She shouted while lifting her phone.

I walked and hugged her from behind placing my cheeks on her shoulders. She was not taller than me, I was taller. I took my father's genes. 

"Davids, am not buying you dinner, you have to pay," she said while pulling my hands and shoving me aside.

"Today am treating my beauty pageants here darling," she added and moved to where the other guest were.

"Mum, am your child!" I faked a cry.

"I know baby, but not today or for the whole of this week, these guys are my babies," she said before hugging me.

"I love you, but no special treatment, okay son," she said cheekily while pinching my cheeks.

The other models were just waking at my situation. 

'Aaaawing,' at how she treated me so sweetly.

They thought she was joking about the food thing.

No, she is not joking, she won't buy me food though am part of the program because I will also be benefiting from the fashion show after displaying my interior designs.

"Mom, just today," I leaned and whispered into her ear. 

"Are you okay Baby?" She asked with a worried face.

"Yeah," I whispered.

She didn't want to be loud and I don't know why.

"Start going I will meet you guys ahead," she told everyone while holding my hand. "Brian, behind now!" She shouted.

She lifted my jacket and was surprised that I wasn't wearing my shirt, and I was sweaty which I hadn't realised.

"Yes mum," said brian with his hands akimbo. 

"Did the doctor say anything about her wound?" Asked my mother to inspect my wounds.

"Ouch! Mum, that is painful," I cried after she poked the bandage.

"Nothing, just to make sure she doesn't touch it with her dirty hands!" Said Brian while flirting.

Brian has never been serious about anything. How are my hands dirty for Christ sake? 

I don't even want to imagine the type of dirt she is talking about. I haven't even done that in years why would he assume that?

"He is lying," I told my mother who had now dropped my jacket down and was touching my forehead.

"I agree with you darling, she better not, that fluid is sweet but not healthy for your wound baby," said my mother while shelving the links that I had tried up in a burn.

We left the venue and headed out to the car as everyone had now gone to the restaurant to have their supper before going home.

I loved how my mum was happy today, I know it's just yesterday that Dee's father was buried but I've always wanted to ask her about Mr Clank.

"Mum, how did dad and Mr Clank meet?" I asked her while she was busy on her phone.

Brian shot me a glare like "who is Mr Clank?" 

I explained to him about Dee's father and suddenly he had a disgusted look on his face.

"Her boyfriend smells like a pig's ass," he whispered in my ears.

We both brushed into pearls of laughter.

"Oh, Lord Briana, I thought I was the only one," I told him while whispering.

My mother turned and looked back at us since she was sitting in front of our driver today.

"You guys seem to have an interesting conversation why don't you include me?" She asked while chewing the tip of her pen.

"Ooh, it's about a certain meme I had sent Davids some months ago, we were revisiting it mum," Briana jumped in quickly to save us from troubles and awkward situations.

"Okay, about your questions, I think your dad will answer that, I can't sweetheart, okay?" 

I nodded agreeing with her.

If he knew dad then dad should be the one to tell me about it.

I wanted to go ahead and ask her about the funeral but I restrained and let her finish her work this week then we will have that discussion.

"Which hotel again?" Asked Brian looking at our location.

"Damien's uncle," I replied.

"You are telling me names like I know them, garl I don't even know them," he complained with his girlish soprano.

"Damien, the guys you took a photo with and kissed him on the cheeks before her Girlfriend clara came in and you also kissed her and Damien had to push himself in between you and her," I reminded him about that small drama that he created before we closed up for prayers.

With organisation, he laughed out aloud at that little drama.

"I knew it was her girl that is why I did that to her," said Brian file giggling.

I told you he is never serious about anything you tell him.

We a lighted from our car and found that we had been given the same spot that we were given yesterday.

"Dad is there," I cheered why running towards him. Just like when I was young and would cry when he went to work because I wanted to tag along and sometimes he was forced to take me or ask my mother to bring me later. When he came back, he had a present for me every day. 

I heard my mum rumbling to Brian, "she is not allowed, I am the one supposed to sun that way you know?" I laughed so hard in my head at the word words and run to hug my dada.

"Come on you are not three and hope you don't want to pull my leg again," chuckled dad while hugging me. 

"Ouch," he was pressing me so right and it hurts but I don't want to say. 

I wanted him to buy me food because I know mum won't buy me and I don't want to use my allowance to get food. Am saving it for Sunday's Hike.

"Boy it's my turn, get off!" Shouted my mother. 

The good thing no one saw our little family drama. I stood still and leaned into my dad's ear but, "phew!" I was pushed by my mother who sat on his lap.

"She wants free food and ma not paying," my mother said while playing with my dad beards.

"Mom, don't you think you've had enough time, I also need a hug from dad," cried Brian while placing his purse on my hand.

"No, am not waking up from here, you come to hug him and stand one meter!" Pointed my mother.

She is not going to wake up from her position trust me. 

Brian moved ahead and hugged my papa.

Brian is like my elder brother and I was always reminded to respect him and look up to him every day when I was you.

We're grown up together, he is like seven years older than me. But every day we went to school together, spent our holidays together and we've never been apart ever since nit until he decided to remain in New York City when we come here. That's why if you see him acting as one of the family members, he is my eldest brother and the firstborn child of this family.

"How are you, papa?" Asked Brian.

"Doing great, how about you Brian, wait now is it Brian or Brianna?" Asked my dad while picking his beards.

"Dad, use Brian please, you know the big man will chop my head if I change my name, am in the process of negotiating the terms of death though!" He told him and we all hursted into s laughter.

"Give the big man time, he gets wet when he is fry, so chill," my dad gave him a thumbs up and he nodded.

"Dad, about my plea," I asked in a sad face.

"Are you that hunger-stricken?" He asked and I nodded faking a cry while wiping my tears.

"Food is for everyone, your mama here will have special so go eat hers," he said and off we went with Brian leaving my mum and dad to their comfort.

"Are you sure about changing your name?" I asked him while we were almost at the buffet.

"Yeah, I want to Davids," he said determinedly.

I didn't get why he want to change his name, was it because of fame or it's just an idea he loves.

That's a story for another day.

We picked plates and did ourselves some self-service. We walked to the seats but Lord, "did someone say we have a systematic arrangement or they just decided to do it by themselves?" I asked myself while looking at how all the models were sitting together and the other people were seated somewhere else. 

We looked at the empty spaces and we moved to them quickly.

"Dude, you here, I just love your hair, Damien," shouted Brian while moving towards Damien.

Clara's head shot up and she was looking at Brian compliment Damien.

Brian is just being Brian, he wants to irritate them until they decided to act up as a couple. I hope he doesn't come to me. He will make it awkward and dangerous.

Damien just looked at him and winked. He seemed to have gotten an idea of what Brian wanted to achieve.

He bent down and kissed Damien's cheeks which he quickly gave in.

I sat next to Damien and brian was to sit next to me.

"Not next to him, I better sit in a pit latrine," growled Brian in my ears.

"Davids, I want to talk with Brian, why don't you move and talk with Vin?" Said Damien while pushing me near Vin.

I hated this. I don't know what we will do with him now. Focus on my food or just wake up and go somewhere else.

"You two need to reach an agreement on how to share darling," said Brian while pointing at me and Vin.

Everyone turned their eyes in our direction.

"Brian, not now, just drop it," I kicked his leg and focused on my food.

I don't want to cause any drama, my parents are healers and this is Damien's favourite place which I don't want to disrespect by causing any chaos.

Vin's gaze shifted to me while I extended my hand to get some salt.
