Brian and I always have this bad habit of crossing through our mother's garden, but carefully to avoid stepping on any flowers or destroying the broccoli, lettuce kales and the little crops that she is nurturing in her little garden.

That was in New York, she loves having some crops with her. To me and Brian, that was our passage and not a garden. Every time Brian would sneak us and take me to a party, and we would use it again as we came back in. 

Ann was our gate woman, she would alert us if we are heeded or needed to hurry up in the party and drive back home. We never used the card around the house because we knew uncle Drew would question us and best us back into the house for sneaking out, so we would match to the guard and tell him that we have been allowed to go out, the guard would allow us to go under the circumstance that we defend ourselves when caught.

My mother knew about our escapes, because twice when we came back, she was always at the kitchen and Ann would have slept away on the kitchen sofa with the blanket draped over her.

She would invite us for a cup of tea before lecturing us about the safety and risks of escaping. To add more tea to the lecture, she would give us her escapades and how she let dad and the lectures would now turn to a story of laughter.

I hope her small garden is fairing on well because once I get there I will make sure I do some jumps here and there.

I don't know why she always loves her garden hear the kitchen, but this night, Brian was Brian, and I was well me. 

"You have been here long, and we always said we use the back kitchen, not the front door, so lead the way," said Brian while pushing me towards the garden.

"Fuck, I haven't been using it, can we probably use the phone light, we will see better, I don't want to ruin the newly planted cucumbers," I whispered to him.

He busted into a peal of laughter but I was too fast to shut his big mouth, my mother will come out and we will both be punished by weeding the planet till they grow and I wasn't ready.

"Haha, I know why you are protecting the cucumbers this much dude, what are you planning to do with them? Ooh poor cucumbers, if I were you would still maintain my dormancy, because out here is the inside of another walk you don't want to go to, it's slippery though," he said to the young cucumbers.

Jesus Brian, will she never focus even once?

I snatched the spotlight from his hands and tried looking for the safest path to follow. I haven't been using this site because I was afraid of ruining everything, but when your crime partner joins, you don't have any choice.

I looked until I saw some footsteps. 

"Here, we can use this," I said to him.

"Okay, I can see you are protecting the cucumber haha," he said while laughing again but I was not into his little drama.

We were walking carefully and I was on my last step when I heard a crack behind me.

I turned back and Brian was down, his hands on his mouth, 

"Fuck dude, I told you to be careful," I said while lifting him.

"Haha, I was still thinking of your situation," he said while standing up.

Beside him, the young maize stalk wAs broken, and its flowers were hanging loosely.

"Fuck, we are done," I swore to Brian while dusting his pants off.

"what?" He asked looking back, "fuck! What are we going to do?" He asked?

it is not like we were panicking, but we knew this meant. I told you earlier, we will be weeding the maize until they are mature enough for boiling.

"Let's do this, we are going to bring White over here during our run, then when asked we will say that White went stray and broke it," said Brian.

He had a nice idea, but will mum buy it? I was still not sure. Though we don't have another decision, I think I will just go with him.

" Okay, as long as you have a good mouth, that will have us," I said to him as we tiptoed to the kitchen entrance.

We removed our shoes because they had mud and placed them inside the laundry basket outside before going in.

The house was quiet, probably just the kitchen. The only thing that could be heard was the music from the speaker that is always situated in the kitchen. 

Ann was nowhere to be seen. Brian checked for food because it was already ten meaning that mum and dad already had their meal and we were the only ones left.

"You pretty bastards what are you doing here?" Ann's voice joked us from the little mission that we had.

"Oooh, sweet Auntie, what is for supper today?" Joked Brian while hugging Ann tightly.

"Jesus Brian, you are going to kill me if you don't leave me breath," complained Ann.

Brian let her body go but didn't get her hands to go. He followed her everywhere she went.

Ann picked some food wrapped from the fridge and handed him. He jumped happily and went to the microwave to warm the food.

I looked at Ann and realised that something was a miss. She was not her usual self today. 

The ann I know would have been happy to see us in the kitchen, gladly told us where to get the food. But looking at her, she was not that happy today, she was moonless and was not psyched up to do anything.

"Excuse me, Ann, are you okay?" I asked her.

She went and sat by the fire and placed her hands on her chest.

I followed her to the fireplace but she was still silent. 

Brian moved closer to her and placed her hands into his. 

"Babe, you know that I live you, I know u used to be a tuff head when I was young, but please tell me if I am the one or it's any of us?" Begged Brian.

Ann had been working for us ever since Brian was born. She was the nanny who took care of Brian, wash him clothe him and do for him everything. Brian adores her food because they are delicious. She doesn't only stick to one recipe, she is always determined to try new things.

She jas baked my every birthday cake and I have lived them. She jas seen me grow from a toddler to the person I am. She was like the second mother to me and I love her for that.

"It's not you my baby," she cried while hugging Brian.

"What is it then?" I asked.

"It's that won a, go cane here and abused my food saying it's not delicious she thinks I don't know how to cook, I cooked my favourite Indian recipe then she comes in here and sat that it's better than the one she cooks," shouted Ann and she broke down crying.

Ann knows how to cook her food, I rarely even eat chickens outside because she knows how to make her. And who is the woman she is talking about? 

I know my parents are famous people, but who would they invite inside the house that I don't know? Unless it's one of the guests that will be attending her fashion run.

"Who is that woman Aunt?" Shouted Brian while standing up quickly and marching.

"She is in there, I think Davids knows her," said Ann.

"What?" I asked in a surprised voice.

What is she talking about? I wouldn't bring someone in who is going to criticise Ann's food. Then how would I know her?

"Brian, come back here, they are probably having a discussion with your mama and papa, just don't confront her now, mama already talked to her and asked her to behave even papa warned her," said Ann while wiping her tears.

My parents warned her, then I guess that person is of more importance than I had thought of. 

Ann asked us to eat our meal before going to the living room and we did it quickly and washed the utensils before matching into the living room.

By the fireplace, was my mother with her laptop on her lap, but she was not focused on it, opposite her was dad, folding his hands on his chest while focusing on the same thing that dad was focusing on. I couldn't see what they were looking at because there was a seat that was blocking my view when I got into the sitting room.

Brian was behind me, texting someone on his phone and when he was done, she pushed me in front and my mother was the first to see me.

"Darling, good thing you are here, your girlfriend was here to see you," she finished with a wink.

The person who was hidden by the coach turned around, 

"Hey, beb,"

"Natalia?"
