Chapter 9
1644 Words
I put on my clothes and headed to the living room, where I saw my mom was carrying 'Last card' in her hands, while they were both watching films on the flat-screen TV.
"Mom, I'm going to Sonia's place," I said, while indirectly asking for permission because I don't want her to get mad at me for not taking permission.
"Why are you in those clothes?". My mom asked, raising her brows.
I was still wearing the clothes that I took from Emery's, and this time, I didn't use my breast tub as an innerwear, but I used a white short singlet.
I felt embarrassed in those breast tubs that I wore earlier at Emery's place, especially when I caught him staring my boobs at the mall, which is Damm embarrassing.
"Mom!. I am going to Sonia's place, so I need to worry. And for the clothes..... well! I just like them, because it makes me feel like I'm a model or some kind of superstar". I said while smiling.
"Okay!. You may go. But don't forget to be home by six, okay!". She said while giving me the condition of when I can return, like if I'm some kind of kid.
"Mom!. I'm not a kid". I said putting my hands across my chest.
Truth is..... My Mom just loves treating me like a kid, and sometimes it just gets tiring.
I'm going to die very soon anyway, so I don't see the need for her to still cage me, because it's still not going to make any difference.
"Delilah!. I know you aren't a kid, I just want you to be home before dinner time. I want us to eat together". My mom said.
I ran towards her and hugged her wholeheartedly.
"Mom!. You are the best". I said while kissing her cheek.
"I know". My Mom replied, causing me to roll my eyes.
"Mom I just complimented you, and your response is just 'I KNOW'.... that's just not fair". I said, popping up my cheeks.
"Just get out already, will you!". She said while hitting my butt.
She helped me to fix my sunglasses properly and gave me a sweet smile.
"See you at six o clock," I said as I closed the door of the living room.
I exhaled loudly while staring at my compound, which was quite big, and Damn beautiful.
My Dad did a good job in beautifying this compound, and very soon I would be leaving this compound for good.
On getting to the gate, which took me forever, because I was walking slowly because I want to get the beautiful image of the compound in my head because I don't want to lose this memory.
Another reason which made me continue walking slowly was that I don't want to trip off, because if I do..... I have a strong feeling that Mister Handsome would catch me before I landed on the ground.
When I finally reached my gate, I was grateful for not falling on the floor and was Damm happy that the image of this beautiful compound is stuck in my memory.
At least I would just stare at the image created in my memory when I'm dead.
Different cabs were coming my way, so I had to wave my hands to stop one of them, but they just wouldn't stop.
I finally got tired, and when I placed my hands beside me to rest for a while....... a white cab pulled over.
'Lord I thank you. I chanted inwardly, as I entered the car.
"Good day sir". I greeted the cab driver.
I love greeting my elders, for as the statement goes, you never can tell what's going to happen in the future, and you never can tell who is going to help you.
Even though people still believe that they can't tell what's going to happen in the future, I can still boldly say that I know how my future is going to end, and beside the cab driver is older than me, so I greeted him.
"Where are you heading to?". The cab driver asked, with a calm voice, and his accent wasn't clear, so I was forced to ask him if he is British.
"Sir, do you always speak with a British accent?, and do you come from Britons?". I asked.
"No!. I am not from Britons". He replied while maintaining his gaze on the road. "I just have a different accent, and in the meantime, I am learning British". The cab driver added.
"Ohh!". Was the only reply I could give, as I nodded my head.
"Sir.... please take me to Sony's restaurant!". I said, and he nodded.
Sonia's restaurant is not popular compared to other restaurants, but a lot of people know her restaurant, due to her friendly employees.
Her employee laughs and makes jokes with customers. They do their work with a free mind, compared to other restaurants, where most workers don't smile, or even when they do! their smile looks forced. They don't joke with customers, nor do they entertain customers properly.
Sony restaurant is well known due to the worker manner of approach.
"Miss!". The cab driver called me, which caused me to stare away from my phone and gaze at the driver.
" Sir!". I answered.
"Do you know that you are my first customer for today? I have been driving around, but still I didn't get any passengers. I was about to take a rest, but when I saw you, I decided to pull over". The cab driver said.
I didn't know what to say, for all I felt was a pity. I pity the man, for the man must have ridden the entire city looking for passengers.
He pulls over beside 'Sony's restaurant' because he can't pack at the entrance.
I came down from the cab and gave him his p*****t. "Thank you ma!" the cab driver said, with a smile on his face.
"You're welcome!". I replied, smiling at him. "And don't worry about the change, you can keep it". I added.
The cab driver was already looking for a change, but immediately he heard my statement, he put his hands together and started thanking me.
He looks like someone who I have seen before, but I don't know where I have seen his face before.
The man was no longer using a British accent, but an American accent.
The British ascent fit him more than that of the American.
I didn't even know the time I spilled it out, and he smiled showing off his teeth that are very white.
"Thank you sir for the ride". I said, before heading towards the entrance door of the restaurant.
I closed the door of the restaurant, and I heard someone shouting.
"Baby....". Sonia called out while opening her hand for me to embrace her.
She wore a red shirt, black trousers, and a black cover shoe. Her hair was packed in a ponytail, while the silver earrings and silver necklace complimented her silver wristwatch.
She is fair in complexion, and due to the cream, she uses her skin glitter.
"Sonia!". I called out, as I hugged her. She hugged me back, making me feel so welcome, and then I inhaled her lavender scent, damn!.
"Sonia, why is it that your body keeps glowing, and mine is not improving?". I asked her while arching my brows.
"Delilah!. please leave my skin alone okay, and where the hell have you been? Are you okay? Did that man carry you home? did you.....". She was about to continue her statement when I put my index finger on her lips.
"Sonia, please stop". I said while smiling. "Sonia!. I am fine, and that guy took me home, but the surprising thing was that he took me to his house. I woke up and found myself in a robe, which still surprises me". Delilah told Sonia.
Her eyes suddenly got wide, very wide, to the extent that they could pup out. "You saw yourself in a robe?". Sonia asked me.
I nod my head, sluggishly, feeling embarrassed.
Sonia stops widening her eyes but uses her hands to close her mouth. "Did you ask him, how the robes got into you?". Sonia asked.
"Yes I asked him, but he told me that I was the one who put on the robes, by myself". I said.
She seemed to be thinking for a while, because her hands were on her cheeks, showing how stressed she is trying to process what I just said.
She finally removed her hands from her cheek and put her hands on my head.
"You should try taking good care of yourself girl, and be careful with men, for they can easily deceive". She said,
"Let's start serving the customer". Sonia said as she tried to change the topic.
I heard a lady calling out to the waitress, so I quickly left Sonia and went straight to the lady.
She wore a white Snickers, a white jogger, and a white shoe. A handsome man was sitting beside her, and his outfit was the same as that of the lady beside him.
"Good evening lovely couple, please may I have your orders". I said smiling while holding a book and a pen in my hands.
I handed the menu book to them, and they both smiled, telling me that they would get back to me after they decided on what they wanted.
"Waitress!". A guy called out.
I turned my back, to figure out who was calling.
Carrying a book and pen in my hands, I headed towards the guy, and behold!..... he was the guy, who I called my boyfriend, the previous day. The guy, who I lied to, that my name is Samantha when I was trying to get away from Mister Handsome yesterday afternoon.
