Circle of Trust

part 6

The girls woke up the following morning to the delicious aroma of fries, coming from the kitchen. “good morning ma!” silver greeted immediately she entered into the kitchen.
“good morning dear, I believe you slept sound?” Mrs. Erica asked peering into silver’s eyes. “Yes ma, I did.” Silver supplied  before she went about helping Mrs. Erica with the flour, it was obvious she was making pancakes.
  Some minutes later, Precious joined them in the Kitchen “good morning ma!” she greeted.  “morning my dear, I believe you are good? You seemed otherwise to me yesterday.’ Mrs. Erica observed
“I am good ma, I was having a slight headache yesterday and that’s all.” Precious defended. “ Ok my dear, you should have told me so I could get you a couple of pain killers.” Mrs. Erica said still looking at precious concerned
“I’m sorry I didn’t, but I’m all good now!”  Precious said with big smiles.
“Anytime any one of you is not good, feel free to talk to me ok! You two should feel free to talk to me anytime, anywhere.” Mrs. Erica told the girls with smiles.
“We will have that in mind ma!” silver said on behalf of herself and precious who was seen whisking raw eggs.
  It was 12pm when the girls finished up with the pancakes, they tiredly went into their rooms to shower up as they would be leaving in an hour time to a guest house. The girls wasted no time to shower up and joined Mrs. Erica on the dinning to a meal of pancakes and fried eggs, they were still having their meals when Nuel entered the house with Stephen behind him.
“Hey mom.” Nuel greeted his mom with a light peck. “Son, you are welcome. You guys are just on time, get seated while I ask Amanda to come serve you two.” Nuel’s mom said.
“you always look good ma.” Stephen said as well before getting seated directly opposite precious. “You can say that again dear, this damsels here are really a blessing this few days…..i don’t have to stay in this big house all by myself.” Mrs. Erica said referring to Silver and precious.
When they both got seated, Amanda their cook wasted no time in serving the boys. “This pancake is so heavenly!” Stephen commended.
“ myself and the girls made it.” Mrs. Erica said with smiles.
“Silver my Yoruba girlfriend, hope you are enjoying your stay?” Stephen asked with teasing smile
“Yes boyfriend.” Silver replied with mischief dancing in her eyes.
“ You two should take it easy, I’m still in position.” Nuel said and they all busted into laughter. Precious happened to be the silent one in the table and it was too obvious to everyone including Mrs. Erica.
“Are you okay precious?” Mrs. Erica asked concerned.
“yes ma, I think I should be in my room.” Precious said standing up, heading towards her room without a backward glance at anyone.
Mrs. Erica was mostly concerned about precious change of mood and inquired from silver to Know if she is okay. “She will be fine, she is like that sometimes.” Silver said.
The four continued with their meal after Precious left hers unfinished. It was few hours later after the morning meal and Nuel informed the girls to get prepared as they would be leaving in few hours time, they hurriedly got dressed while silver made use of the opportunity to ask precious if she was alright.
  “Girlie, are you okay?” silver asked Precious who nodded in affirmation and went about packing up. By the time they got ready they found Nuel waiting for them with his ride. They hurriedly hugged Mrs. Erica one last time before entering into the car. “You all should enjoy yourselves, but just be careful!” Mrs. Erica said after them, “sure mom.” Nuel said and hugged his mom for a brief seconds before entering into the driver seat.
“ Make sure you all stop over before going back to Ibadan.” Mrs. Erica said and waved them goodbye before they finally zoomed off.
  It was a 15 minutes drive to the guest house close to the beach, Nuel made payment for their respective rooms and handed the ladies their keys.
“ A room for myself as well?” silver asked surprised that Nuel would book a separate room for the both of them.
“Are you not okay with it? I thought it would be okay to give you some privacy, besides my friends are around and would like to come around all the time. So I thought it would be nice to have your own privacy as well.” Nuel explained.
“Okay.” Silver said not entirely pleased with the idea.
“Meanwhile I asked the Potter to get you girls luggage’s to your respective rooms, I will be back before you two will know it.” Nuel said lightly pecking silver on the cheek.
“You two should place your orders as well, I believe you two must be famished.” Nuel said giving them a knowing look.
“Sure we are, do come home quick.” Silver said.
“Don’t miss me for too long!” Nuel said walking out through the door.
        It was two hours later before Nuel returned, he had earlier called to tell her he would be coming a bit late because he was with his friends.  By the time he arrived he went to check on silver but found her own room empty.
“Where are you?” he had asked over the phone
“Precious room!” she had answered simply. It wasn’t long before the gisting girls heard a knock on the door, precious answered the door to see Nuel
“Hey come in..” precious said with a smile while ushering Nuel in
“Am I missing out on something?” Nuel asked while kissing silver briefly.
“Actually yes, myself and precious planned on going for shopping this evening, then Maybe go see some movies in the nearest cinema.” Silver briefed.
“That’s a nice plan, but I don’t see myself in the picture, what about a change of plans?” Nuel asked looking from silver to precious.
“only if the substitute is much more better, or how do you want it prech?” silver asked Precious who was very busy with her mobile.
“sure, I’m in support.” Precious replied still not looking up from her mobile.
“I want us eating in a restaurant with my friends, how do you girls see it?” Nuel asked looking at the girls, “ well, that would be great. Isn’t it precious?” Silver asked peering into Precious face.
“Yeah, I guess.” Precious replied not too pleased.
“Ok that is a yes then, please hurriedly get dress.” Nuel said standing up and dragging silver up as well
“Okay, I should be ready when you two are ready.” Precious replied with a grin
“Hopefully my baby is deciding to go out today, and who knows you might get yourself a partner” Silver teased.
“Yen Yen Yen, abeg go with your guy and get dressed, and please you two should come get me on time oh.” Precious said with smiles.
“Sure we will.” Nuel said going out of the room while holding his girlfriend on her waist.
