#Memories Of You

SETTLED IN

Freya

I wore my headphones and let the cool music sink into me. I was moving my head to the beat of the music while studying with my girls.

It's been 2 weeks of torture ever since the new neighbor moved into that magnificent house.

Kiki hadn't let any of us rest with how handsome their son looked.

Kiki's mom being the social butterfly that she was had made friends with the new neighbors and their kids had been introduced in the long process. Kiki developed a crush on him from their meeting.

They had invited the neighbors for their housewarming party but my parents weren't around and I feigned sickness just so I could avoid attending. So I was the only one who hadn't seen him among my friends and I wasn't even interested.

My girls couldn't stay up for a day without bringing him into our discussion. Who gave him to right to steal my friends attention.

When we are having our sleep over his name will be brought up, I was starting to hate his name now.

What I crave doing is meeting him and give him a piece of my mind. Why does he get to be the center of attention? Maybe I should have attended that party.

Derek

2 weeks, 2 freaking weeks of moving and living in this big and lonely house.

My only housemates are the servants, and I can't disturb them from doing their duties by trying to involve them in a conversation when am bored.

The only person I am close with is my family's head chauffeur Mr Kingsley. A middle-aged man who has been working with my family for years. Before I was born.

Mr King as I always fondly call him is like a second dad to me. My dad is hardly ever around, and when he's around he's always working. My mom loves going on vacations or parties, outings, and shopping spree.

Am already used to my family lifestyle.

“Hey son what are you doing “Mr. King asked smiling.

I looked down and him and smiled. Mr King was a keeper he had always been ready to move with his family His wife and pretty daughter Bella with my family whenever we moved and my dad always made sure to provide him with good accommodation for his family.

He currently lives in our house with his family in a quarter inside this big house. He is a loyal man.

“Nothing much, just taking in the beautiful scenery “ I replied.

Wanna play football? He asked

“No, I will pass today “

Are you sure you are okay son?

Yes

Okay, I will leave you then “he said waving goodbye.

After some minutes I retired to my room to play video games.

About an hour later I decided to grab some milk myself when I heard my name being mentioned amidst hushed conversations.

I quietly walked in the direction of the discussion and eavesdropped on the conversation.

Lo and behold it was my mom and Mr. King.

Ma'am am sure this plan is a great plan and it's going to make him happy. Considering it's his birthday.

They wanted to organize a surprise birthday for me. My mom knows better that I don't like parties. Considering what about years ago.

Are you sure it's going to work out? You know Derek doesn't like parties. Mom inquired

Yes, ma. I will leave everything to you, I believe you can handle it properly.

Thank you ma for your trust.

I went back to my room quietly so they wouldn't know I had eavesdropped on their conversation.

A surprise party for someone who doesn't like parties. I rolled my eyes and went back to my video game.
