CHAPTER SIX (ENJOY EVERY RIDE)

"What does your dad do?" Tyrus gluped down the rest of the content in his glass before answering her arrogantly.

"My dad is a business man, he owns an oil company and three shopping arcades."

"How are your step siblings treating you now?" Frida asked to hurt his pride and make his arrogance reduce.

She knew how he was being treated by his siblings, they didn't consider him family' and always avoided him. He's dad was always busy going on business trips so he has no idea of what happens to his son at home.

"I know you are miserable but don't try to make everyone around you feel the same way." Frida said to Tyrus and he stared at her quietly.

"I am not miserable, you know nothing about me so don't try to act like you do." Tyrus said to Frida and she felt bad.

"Hey, don't you dare speak to her like that, she is a good mother." That was Barbie defending her honey bunny.

"You ask her, kids are meant to be in their mother's care but did she ever bother to demand that my dad leaves me in her custody, no she didn't, now she's trying to act like a mother." Tyrus said to Barbie his voice rising in anger at every word.

Barbie tried to speak again but Frida stopped her. Dashay was quiet, she thought only she felt neglected by their mom but clearly someone else felt the same way. She began to feel sad for Tyrus who continued drinking his wine with rage, he even picked up the bottle and drank from it instead of from a glass cup.

Zephan stared from the side of his eyes, he was also lost in his own thoughts, it felt as if everyone had one thing or the other going through their minds.

"Who wants to play a game?" Dashay asked when she saw how everyone was busy with one thing or the other ignoring themselves.

Kamala was busy kissing Wendy, her mom was watching funny videos on her phone and Barbie was giggling by her side, Tyrus was busy on his phone, Zephan was busy reading a book about magical realism and Autry was watching a movie on his phone with Cleona.

"No thank you." Zephan answered and continued reading his book.

"No baby, I am really enjoying this skits." Frida said and laughed loudly when she saw something funny.

"What about you Autry?" Dashay asked him and he answered.

"This movie is really interesting, I have wanted to watch it for a long while now."

"Tyrus!" She called gently and turn towards him. He wanted to decline but for some reason, he saw the loneliness Dashay felt in her eyes, he was also lonely but he knew exactly how to hide it.

"Yes, let's play." He said to her and she jumped for joy.

"Come sit." She said and patted the floor.

He kept his phone on the couch and went to her, he sat down next to her and she showed him the game she wanted them to play.

"Charades, nice but would have been better if we were more than two." Tyrus said looking around them.

"Don't worry, it will still be fun." Dashay assured and he smiled at her confidence.

They started writing out movies titles, songs, books and other topics making it six categories on slips to act out.

"Since there's only the two of us, here is the rule. The person performing the action will be timed and if you fail to get the action, it means I have failed in making you understand therefore I get zero and you play next." Dashay said and Tyrus agreed.

"Let's start, you go first." Tyrus said to Dashay and she went towards him and picked out a slip from the title bowl. She chuckled after seeing what was written on the slip.

She raised two fingers up and Tyrus said.

"Two words." And she nodded before putting her hands on her lips like a microphone.

"A song." Tyrus said and she nodded, and then she started singing the song without making a sound, Tyrus stared closely at her lips to read them.

"Made." He said aloud and she nodded, and then continued moving her lips for him to understand.

"Made for me, by Muni Long." Tyrus suddenly yelled.

"Yes, you got it." Dashay said happily.

"You've got yourself a point, now my turn." Tyrus said and got up for her sit.

They continued playing their game and the excitement with which they played caught the attention of the others, Zephan was the first to join them.

"The game seems interesting than this book, can I join you guys?" He asked and put away his book to sit with them even before they agreed.

"I won. Wow, I really love this game so much." Zephan said with excitement after winning for the second time.

His excitement attracted the others and at the end they all decided to play. The atmosphere lightened and they all got excited, laughing at the top of their voices especially when Wendy failed so many times, she was awful at guessing and also terrible at playing out what is written.

They played on until late in the next morning and slept off in the early hours of the morning. Zephan's alarm for his morning yoga woke them up, it was so loud.

"Fuck, what kind of alarm is that?" Kamala asked disgusted.

"I am so sorry guys, I didn't know that we will all end up sleeping in the same place." Zephan apologized.

"It's good that we are up, c'mon let's all go and freshen up, we should leave the hotel by 8am." Frida said and started hitting those who were sleeping with pillows.

"I'm up, stop hitting me already." Dashay said and picked up her own pillow to protect herself.

"You silly." Frida said and started hitting Dashay again.

"Protect the princess." Tyrus said jokingly and they all picked up pillows and started hitting each other with it.

After playing for a while, they all went to freshen up and got dressed. Their luggages were taken to the car by the drivers who arrived there at exactly 8am and they all got into the car.

The drive took a long time but they didn't realize it as they were busy enjoying each other's company instead of being busy on their phones.

"Look guys." Autry said and pointed at a mountain by the side of the road.

"Wow, look at that." Barbie said smiling, the others also saw it, the mountain looked like it had a smiling face.

"It's so beautiful." Dashay added also smiling.

All the scenery's around the road was just too beautiful that they kept admiring everything, even Tyrus made videos.

"We are here." The driver said and they all got down, they were by the sea side and a ship driver was waiting for them in the yacht.

"Good morning." The driver greeted them with a smile.

"Good morning." Frida replied and the sailor introduced himself.

"My name is Captain Jonas and I have been driving Mr. Iker's electric flying passenger ship for a while now and therefore I can assure you that I am very good and you will have a safe ride, the waves are not so strong today."

"That's great." Frida said happy to hear that they were in safe hands.

"Ma'am we have finished moving your luggages into the ship, you can all go in now." The first driver said to her and they both got back into the cars and drove out.

"Let me take a quick picture first." Tyrus said when they were all about to go onto the yacht.

"What about a family picture? We don't have one." Dashay suggested and they all happily came together to snap. The driver did them the honors of taking their pictures with Tyrus camera.

After that, they got in and stood watching the forest and scenery that surrounded them as they sailed through.

"I am so happy that I didn't miss this trip." That was Kamala talking.

"Didn't you want to come before?" Dashay asked her and Kamala smiled.

"She wanted to miss it just to attend DF's concert, the biggest rock-'n'-roll concert in New York City." Wendy answered on behalf of Kamala.

"Wow, that sounds kind of better." Dashay said surprised to hear that such a thing even existed.

"No it's not, spending here has been the best and dad would have gave me an earful for spending sixty thousand dollars for a ticket." Kamala said while laughing at herself.

"Sixty what?" Autry shouted surprised and walked away from them with his mouth still widely open.

"That guy needs help." Kamala said when she saw Autry's reaction.

"He needs money and I think I can help me that." Zephan said and went after Autry, Cleona also followed them.

"Is your dad coming because I told him to come and he said that he would think about it." Frida asked Kamala.

"I don't think he will come, he is not the best at keeping to his words, so don't trust him so much." Kamala said with a false smile.
