Kate.
"Dayo has left Nini had just finish ironing SIMI and James uniform and folding the clothes she spread on the table while I drag my 2 big boxes out of the room waiting for my stingy boyfriend to come and drop, showing himself off as if he gives me enough money is all he knows. Since Dayo left this evening each time I see Nini smiling to herself she gets me angry. I can see her smiling, happy unlike in the previous days.
What! When I thought I was winning then that Idiot Dayo showed up, Am so angry right now. He even offer to pay for her tuition fee.
When I thought I already have my chance to get that Dayo closer to me since I will be studying in Lagos that I will take his number from mom and call him and next I will visit him surprisingly. Now the plan is ruined.
I was shocked to see Dayo squat down in front of her, he was even trying the tears passionately from her face.
"Nini" mom called her.
" yes mom" Nini answered.
" Come and go and buy Vegetables and meat from the market" said mom
"Yes mom" .Nini collects the money and leaves for the market, SIMI and james had gone out to play.
I quickly rush to seat beside mom.
"Mom can't you see the way he dried the tears on her face passionately, the way he looks at her with love, mom I lost Mike to her and now am going to loose Dayo to her" I told mom with tears almost dropping from eyes.
"I never though someone would come out of nowhere to want to spend a lot of money on sending her to school, who will do the house chores? My business will be affected".mom says.
" Mom can't you do something to stop her , I can't let her ruin my plan of getting closer to Dayo mom.
"No Kate, people will begin to suspect me that am a bad step mom but I do not want that, Let me advice you, do want you can to get who you love or when you get to school look for a generous rich guy that is handsome than Dayo , I know you will get one remember you are only light skin but you have that Agbani darego's body who wouldn't fall for that, join beauty pageantry at school and trust me lots of guys will notice you from your popularity.
My face lit up as I heard popularity " I think that's a great Idea mom, when I become popular guys would come running after me, I have a model body, maybe I should even start going for audition, with popularity she would never get to my level, with popularity she can never date the guys I would bedating, oh mom you are such a genius" I kiss mom on the cheek. "I should have thought of this as an intimidation on Nini since, that girl Nini should have died instead of Dad" I said
A knock on the door.
"Come in" I said.
"I never saw it coming at all that someone would want to help, now my business sales will be affected because I would be going to store late" mom said.
Then the person came in, it was my rich boyfriend.
"Good eveningma" he greeted.he bows a bit to show respect to mom.
"How are you" mom said.
"Am fine ma" .he answered, still standing.
"Are you set" he said to me.
"Yes" I answered. And he picks one of the box and drag it out of the room with its handle while I drag the other one to where his car was parked, as he puts my box into the car while mommy follows us to the car, co tenants outside were watching us, I felt satisfied with a smile on my face exactly what I wanted today, Show off.
Mom staying beside the car and waving to me " save journey dear,byebye".
