"Steve darling how come you're still sleeping until now don't you know that you must prepare breakfast in this house or did you forget," Amelia glared at me, you would say that she never laid in the same bed with me last night, totally naked her breast pouring down on me all over my chest.
" Sorry on my way," Steve said humbly.
" Jenny will show you our ablution area, you can clean your beddings and any other clothes the family members bring," Amelia added.
" I can do that, no problem Amelia will be there in a few," Steve's mind was still in Chaos and he thought he was doing this to earn a place in the house.
Steve walked towards the kitchen and heard someone call his name he listened well and noticed that it was Jenny who was calling he looked around but Jenny was nowhere to be found and he noticed that she was calling from one of the rooms though he did not know which one so he just stood and shouted that he was on the corridor and Jenny should come out of her door
" The people who drugged you did a very shoddy job you cannot even follow a voice my God Steve I feel for you, can you come over please," She waved at him and signalled that he should get in.
" Wow what a beautiful room you have here and you have so many beddings, why did you give me the odorous chafed ones when you have all these in your room ,it's good to share," Steve told her pointing at her shelves. Her bed was just like Steve's with the same purple drapes, same size but her sofa was as good as new.
" I know it's good to share that is why today I'm bringing you a bag of clothes from the basement they used to be my father's ,I think we'll have plenty to change to," Jenny replied ignoring his question.
"If you think I should wear them I will wear them without asking questions," Steve sat at her bed, wow soft as marzipan, How would it feel to sleep in such a cosy place.
" Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, you handsome on them," Jenny smiled to confuse him, Steve was bright but still there were traits that did not matter to him, he was not aware of some bad stuff that was being done to him, It was normal for him to do as told.His mind was still affected.
" When you finish with the breakfast and cleaning the house, come for my clothes and wash them," Jenny showed him the door and slammed it, it was a holiday for her, no more nagging from her family members, everything will always be done perfectly. and she can be serious with her online gigs and stuff.
Steve went to the kitchen and prepared breakfast and lunch combined and rushed to clean his beddings, he did not like their scent and was not ready to spend another day suffocating under covers, He forgot to pick up Jenny's clothes and she came smiling and threw them in front of him. sly.
" I think you do not understand what following orders mean, have been waiting for you to come to pick them but ---" She glared at him harshly.
" So everyone in this house makes noise and has anger issues even you," Steve stood hands akimbo and asked, He thought she was the compassionate one.
" And if you do not want it on your side, then better be perfect," Jenny raised her brows at him, she took a chair and sat down reading from a book and side glancing at him as he washed their clothes one by one.
" Jenny shame on you, some things are personal, how lazy are you? you can't clean such," He threw a g-string underwear to her and shook his head.
" I thought clean is cleaning everything without leaving any behind," Jenny said catching her inner wear in the air.
" But am a man and I should not even touch such things," Steve sneered at her.
" Who told you that?".
" Some things you do not need to be told it's common sense," Steve stared at her coldly with Malice.
" So what else can you remember, I can see you have differentiated between inner wear and outerwear," Jenny asked worried maybe his memory was coming back in bits. And there is a need to intervene.
" I wish I had my memory back and I would have left this place, take my wife to my house in my father's household," Steve replied, " I hate noise, it irritates and makes me wild like I can cut a person into twenty pieces".
" Thank you for opening up, it's called dismembering, and who said you can go with my sister anywhere," Jenny chuckled wondering what kind of theories was Amelia feeding this young man.
" My wife said so,".
" Wow, that's nice, I would be happy at least that woman will give us space to breathe, the way she makes everyone tremble here, it would be a relief," Jenny Put up a serious tone.
" Why would she make you feel so down, is she the soul provider as you read books," Steve asked hanging clothes.
" Yeah she is, she keeps our stomach full and rent paid," Jenny said.
" Hahahahaha, so this house does not belong to your mother," Steve laughed uncontrollably.
" No it's rented," Jenny said.
" And the way your Mother keeps saying " My house this, my house that," Steve chuckled, what if it was hers then she would be holding guns on my head and every time I mess I will take a shot.
" So why are you laughing, " Jenny raised her brows and sighed," Am tired of your abrupt behaviour hope you ain't going crazy?".
" Leave a book for me on the sofa in my room, I saw your shelves are fully stocked," Steve requested.
" What type?".
" Science, nonfiction," Steve replied and this made Jenny turn around and stare at him blankly.
" Why do you keep lying that you got no memory, Science Fiction!"Jenny exclaimed.
" It just came out of the mouth, it's something that keeps happening to me, a thought or words erupts from nowhere and I try to get their meaning, " Steve explained.
" Never forget to tell me about anything new that comes to your brain, I need Amelia in your house as quick as possible," Jenny said raising fingers on him, she pointed at his eyes with flames of fire in her eyes, it was her duty to notice any kind of change in him and reports to her sister.
" If you leave that book there I will," Something told Steve that the book was important and worth to be read it can explain how things work on earth, something he had forgotten.
" Now you bargaining your way through in this house," Jenny asked.
" You showed me, remember asking Jamal to cook or else, he be reported, don't I deserve to feel important, am emulating you," Steve smiled he had nice teeth, only the face that betrayed him, his lips were large like a lip job was done on them.
A few minutes later he was in his room, he wanted to lie down a bit before he prepared super. He found a different book on the sofa, he read the blurb and it was all about the romance between a man and a woman. Something he was not interested in, he was Married now.
An old wooden box was placed in the corner and Steve moved towards it and opened it, his nostrils were filled with the same dump scent as his bedding, damn it this girl likes these semi-dry clothes, He rummaged on it and did not find anything appealing just a few trousers that were similar to what he was wearing, oversized shirts and a pair of old army shoes, that was oversize. Whoever owned this lot then must have been slightly bigger than me, what he called slightly bigger was something that did not fit him, he had to use a belt to fasten it around his waist
" Darling did you receive the box of clothes that were sent for you," Amelia said knocking on the door wearing a wide smile.
" I can see you bought me nice ones, they fit me well, I appreciate them," Steve pretended, I may have lost my memory but I know new and old clothes, Mark you I heard Jenny say her father's clothes were at the basement.
" Okay dear just choose the ones you want and hang them in your cabinet, it's easier to stock them there," Amelia smiled and left smiling.
Steve went to the rooftop and tried to read the book as he waited for the clothes to dry and collect them, he planned to try to stay away from Eunice as much as possible, within seconds of that thought, he heard her call his name"speak of the devil".
" where did you get that book from, you ain't supposed to read anything, there is much work to be done, have you mowed the lawn, the grass needs to be kept shorter as you found it.
" Noted Ma'am mark it as done," Steve said and stared at the book, I should not read and what will I do with my free time, I cannot work 24/7, am not a machine.
" Take that book to Jenny, she is the reader here, and follow your path," Eunice announced.
" Which one is my Path am a bit confused, I do not even remember who am I," Steve asked.
" Your path will define itself soon, let's wait for your memory to be back but for now house chores are your path," She replied and started checking on the clothes he had washed like they were hers or a project she wanted to be perfected for the boss to approve and add the pay, She took one and threw it at him" This is not clean my friend, make sure they are spotless".
" She confirmed that's a stain that's permanent," Steve interrupted but the dress was on the floor dirtier than it was before.
" What kind of an animal species does this woman belong to, why can't she respect her son-in-law, More bark than bite indeed," Steve told himself.
" You will survive my friend, imagine he brought us up with that mentality and we ended up broken than she ever wanted," Todd shouted from the stairs.
" Is she always this inconsiderate," Steve asked.
" She believes in perfections but look at us, we are all evil, and now she has to join into the evil to survive, She does not understand the basics and she adores money," Todd said taking the dress and tearing it into a hundred pieces.
" Why are you bringing more trouble to me, Jenny will swallow me alive, why are you meddling in my affairs," Steve exclaimed in shock.
" This dress will always bring you trouble, cause that's a permanent stain and am doing you a favour, stop tensing," Todd said patting on serves back.
" As long as you tell Jenny you are the one who did that," Steve said pointing at the numerous shredded leashes on the ground.
" Don't you worry by the time she realizes it's missing you might be out of this house," Todd dismissed me?
" You think so? but any time she asks, you will have an answer for her," Steve made sure it was on him.
"Sit down here and relax, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, "Toddy said.
" We can play in the kitchen it's my next destination from here," Steve told him and left, Todd seemed to care more than anyone else in this house but it's the same thing I thought about Jenny till today, she was more than wild.
