chapter 12

"What?" I raised my head,to my surprise we just arrive at the London airport,I slump down "I can't believe I slept throughout the flight,I wanted to admire the sky from way up close. This is my first time in a plane for pits sake." I turned to Avia angry,"why didn't you wake me up?"

"Well,that, my dear,was because I slept off too. Although,i just thought it would have been best if you were well-rested." she smiled

"Well-rested, you say? Like I need that right now." she just laughed at my outburst.

We hurried to the airport where a driver was waiting for us,with the way Avia greeted him,it was obvious that they were very close,she later introduced me; we got into the car and drove off.

Once inside the car I thought to enjoy the ride,since it was my first time being in London,with Avia by my side to show me around but I was wrong,from the beginning of the drive to the end of it,she was laughing and flirting with the driver and I was pissed

.But when we got to her house,I almost screamed inside the car,it was so big ,with a pool,at one end and a fountain at the other,cars packed all over. I was amazed,I turned to Avia to see her smiling and looking at me.

"What do you think?" she asked me

Despite this being the first time,I was seeing a pool and a fountain,hell any all the shining object that I was still trying to figure out,I will die before I admit it,so I just change the subject "what do I think?" I asked back, and she nodded her head."Well,I think you should continue flirting with the driver,both of you would make a great couple."

She blushed,"How dare you kayla? Take that back,right now."

"Why? I was speaking the truth," I turned to the driver packing our suitcase inside smiling,"even the driver knows it to be true." I smiled

"Why you..." she blushed hard.

Then we started arguing outside the house,then from behind her came a tiny yet boyish voice,"Sister,is that you?"

We both turned at the same to time to find,a cute,tiny yet handsome little boy not less than five years,standing shyly with a doll on his hands, Avia hurried towards him in excitement " theo? How are you doing? Why did you come outside?"

"Because I heard your voice, sister." he said in a tiny voice,"I missed you, sister."

"Oh,I missed you too, theo,my little buddy." they hug for a while before; she introduced him to me to be her step-brother.

I was shown my room,and again, I was left speechless; the room was ten times bigger than my home in Nigeria,with extra spacing reaming.

"Do you like it?" Avia asked

"Are you kidding me? This place is great. It's bigger than my place ten times with extra space remaining." she just laughed,"but are you sure this will be okay?"

"What do you mean?" she asked, looking confused.

"Nothing I just thought maybe your parents might not be okay with me staying at the main house and the fact that I will be working on a farm land,my body will be stained on daily bases. I don t feel comfortable living in this beautiful place with a dirty body."

"Huh,don t be stupid kayla " she said giving me a friendly pat "since I came to live with my dad and his new family,here in London; I've always told them about you being my friend and how you have helped me a lot,to the point,you became an invisible part of the family. And to tell the truth,the reason dad allowed me to back to Nigeria was because I wanted to see you and when I told mom about your knowledge in farming,she was glad,and told me to bring you over without wasting much time. so you don t have to worry about anything because I'm sure mom and dad are going to love you as much as I do and about being dirty,here in London our ground is not as dirty and stubborn like that of Nigeria,so also won t be a problem" she smiled and went to the door "why don t you freshen up and join us for dinner. How does fried crisp chicken with salad sound to you?"

With eyes wide open,I looked at her. "Yes,please."

"Hahahaha, okay,hurry up then. Dinner will be ready in the next two hours, " she said and left

Thanks to the maid, my bags were brought inside my room,I quickly unpacked, and they were a closet. I won to denial the fact that a lot of things here in this room were my first time seeing them.

can't really blame anyone,when you live your entire life feeding from hand to mouth,wearing torn cloths,bathing in an uncovered bathroom,where you have to bathe very early in the morning and very late at night,not even having enough time or yourself or hygiene. of course,things like a shine bathtub or sponge or even a flowery scent soap such as the one in my hands right now will seem like a dream to you.
