258: She Doesn't Even Say Morning?

🥀Happy Reading❤🌹

No one was taking the milk and the oat, I will hate it if Zainab will show up today and decided to give me the, ' I told you,' eyes that I am not ready for. I watched as they had a conversation. I don't understand, is this generation changing or what is it? These kids are busy talking about the new game that they are going to play. They are already suggesting how they will be going to school. At my age, maybe because Brain was there, I was not doing that. I was either running around and disturbing everyone or trying to kick my mother when she fought to put a dress over my head. My dad would always carry me when I scream and would be naked most of the time with only pampers. I wish you see most of my videos, naked sometimes with my dad's t-shirt because my mother had only tops. Brian loved tight clothes so I couldn't steal any from him. Dad was the best budy at that time. A lot has changed in raising kids nowadays. At this age, they know how how to control a phone and play computer games.  

The doorbell rings and I guess that is Brian ready with his clothes. I opened the door for him and he was there, in his heels rocking the day with a white suit. 

What's the occasion? I thought you will be busy taking my enemy around town and showing them where Cardi B and Nick Minaj live? 

"Stop being so silly, I will be doing that but first, I am here to deliver the best clothes for my babies."

Brian through by the door announcing his arrival to the three kids at the table. They had grown fond of him and you would think they have known him for quite some time. Zeke was the first one to jump at him.  Hugging his leg tightly. Brian pinched his cheeks and walked to the table watching what they are eating.

                   "Did you come with mum?" 

Noelle was done eating and had all her eyes on Brian. Brian shook his head and told her that she needed to go find some work. Noelle seems to understand that work is more important than anything to her mother. She doesn't press that matter further, instead, she helps remove the utensils from the table. 

Rose watching them do that, quickly picked his too and placed it in the kitchen. Brian gave them their clothes and they all went in a different directions to try them. Brian was now glaring at me like I have done something bad. What have I done now?

"You haven't even asked Daniella about it? She was shocked that they were going to that school, she can't afford that money!"

Why does he love to shout about everything? I was trying to help and now he is charging at me as if I have done something very grave. 

Is helping that bad? I want to pay for their fees, is that wrong? They are kids, why would they pay for a sin they don't know about?

Brian stood glaring at me, he looked like he didn't understand what I was trying to say. He poured a cup of coffee and sat looking at me. 

       "How can you pay for the kids yet you hate their mother?"

Is that the type of question she is posing for me right now? I love the kids because they are adorable and they deserve much better than just being kids. Noelle has a big dream and you don't know what Zeke has in mind. Just like Rose, these kids are not only thinking of who they are they are pushing to be who they want. 

Just tell them, I will pay for everything about school and other extra co-curricular activities. You don't expect Rose to go to a prestigious school and the two kids to just go to a normal school? You tell her that. She can't change anything because the free has already been paid and she can't change how things are.

"You could have just walked out and gone tell her, she is in the car. Make sure the kids call her before going for the interview. Noelle must be missing her so much."

I know I was going to ask them to call their mother and even grandma to wish them all the best.  

               "How do I look?" 

Zeke was the first to walk out of the room. I looked at Brian, how did he know the exact size of the boy. He looks magnificent in the suit. It was a normal navy blue but tightly gripping him. 

          "Come here, sweet pie, I love it, is it too tight?" 

Zeke shook his head and Brian helped to tie his tie. On his feet, he had sneakers. It's a prestigious school and they can wear sneakers and other types of clothes. Today, they had to be presentable. I know the reason why Brian wants them to be in those clothes, suits and Nike sneakers.

He picked Zeke and stationed him near a window where there was light. Instructing him to pose, he took several pictures of him and the shoes. I knew this was all about the business deal for the three kids. He might be the good uncle but he is going to spoil them a lot.

I walked to the door Noelle had disappeared to. I had to knock first before getting in. She allowed me to go in. It was her buns again. I know how curly buns can be very disturbing. 

You don't have to be afraid to ask for help, just call me wherever I am and I will always be here helping you out.  I thought saying that will cheer her up but it was not. 

                "Do you hate my mother?"

Fuck, she heard what I was saying.  I didn't know how to tell her that it was just an adult type of problem that will be solved. I don't know how to. I close the door and walked toward her. Picking her curls up in a tight ban and with the huge help of my rubber bands, I help her make cute hair. 

Watching her in the mirror, I placed my hands on her shoulders. 

I don't hate your mother. It's just an adult argument. We are good friends and we don't have to argue with each other. 

"Are you saying the truth, I just don't want her to be hurt again. She used to cry sometimes and I could hear it though she didn't want us to know. If you hurt her I won't be your friend again."

This is a tough one. If it was Damien, I could have slapped his face and thrown him outside, this is Noelle. I love her vibes and everything she represents. I don't want her to be angry at me. I have never imagined being a parent but I want to be a parent to her, I want to make sure she achieves her dreams. 

        I won't do anything bad, I promise. 

She hugged me and asked me if she can call her mother using my phone. She walked to the living room and sat down with Zeke pulling Rose to the call.

They had a very close relationship with their mother. She asked if they had a good night, and Noelle told her brother how he was sleeping and how he screamed when she was not around. 

"Come on Zee, Rose is like your brother and don't start the sleeping fight."

   "Mom, he is my brother now, I can do to him all that you know."

The three kids were laughing while looking at their mum. She even asked Noele if she had her exercise. "You know, that is like your breath, there is no playing in Lakers if you don't do that."

"I did, for one hour but had some pausing in between. I didn't go for a walk but tried a treadmill, uncle Davids held me. Do you know he, sorry she has a cool gym and I lifted some weight?"

I thought Daniella was going to be mad but she was excited. She congratulated her for her hard work. 

                      "Does that mean I am not a good coach?"

"You are my number one coach, the first coach I would ever have, but focus on other things, you know uncle Davids will be taking me through training, mum?"

Daniella was silent on the call for a while before calling Zeke's name. Looks like Zeke knew what was coming to him because he hid his face on his sister's shoulder. 

"Don't even ask if he tried to run again, he was tired mum, plus he is doing well with Jazz, so will you forgive him?"

Why is she defending her brother? I understand it though, they were tired except for Noelle who was still energetic. Their mother wished them all the best on the exams. When I heard she wanted to talk to me, my heart missed a bit. Why would she want to talk to me? 

"You didn't have to do this Davids, you know I am trying my best to give them the best but they can't be going there and later be sent back home for school fees?"

She can't even say morning, what's wrong with her. Why is she wearing that right dress, I thought they were going for a tour around the city. 

        Don't worry, Dee, it's all settled, don't worry about it. 

I ended the call and looked at Brian. Where were they going? They can't be going for a tour in heels and suits. 

Brian, do you need a bodyguard today?

"Fuck you, you are just jealous that Dee is going to meet new people and you can't do that? Oh, we are going to find her a Gala date. You, go on dating the asshole you are dating."

All the best jerks!
