Amidst Our Hearts

Nine.

Federal capital territory,
Nigeria.

Sakeena...

"Adda Naisa!" Amrah shouted from the foot of the stairs. What does she want now? It's literally Saturday and Saturdays are meant for sleep.

"What do you want?" I said as I sluggishly walk out of my room. She has successfully ruined my sleep.

"You literally look like medusa right now" she said laughing at me. This girl seriously got the nerves to wake me up from my peaceful sleep and still be laughing at me.

I went back to room seeing that she's gonna rot there laughing. I brushed my teeth and manage to put my hair in place. I need a wash day.

I went downstairs still in my pajamas and went straight to the kitchen. I found Mamie and Amrah in the kitchen.

"Good morning Mamie" I said grabbing a bowl from the cabinet and a spoon.

"Morning Naisa" she said instructing the maids on what to do.

"Adda Naisa" Amrah called.

"What?" I said annoyed.

"I just wanted to tell you earlier that we got invited for a party by 2".

"Ok" I said eating my cereal.

I went back to my room and took shower. And then came the worst part of my life, deciding what to wear.

I then settled for a beige maxi dress with long sleeves with mini flowers on it and also along the waist. I put on my under garment and slipped the dress on.

I sat down on the chair of my vanity table ready to do my messed up hair. After spending forever at detangling, I was done. I put my hair into a doughnut with sleek edges.

I sat down on my bed going through Snapchat when I got a text from Khalifa.

Khalifa: Hey, do you know where I can get a birthday cake in less than 3 hours?

Why is he asking me about cakes?

Mee: you can get on if your lucky ,but what do you need a birthday cake for? Don't tell me you celebrate birthdays too?😲.

Khalifaaa: the cake's not for me, stop being dramatic 😒.

Mee: I'll text you the contact on where you can get an emergency cake. Ps, I was just confirming.

Khalifaaa: okay, thank you.

I quickly texted him aunty Bilki's number because she makes birthday cakes, pastries and all.

Maybe that's the party Amrah and I are going to!!

I checked the time on my phone and it's says 12 noon. I have two hours to spare before the so called birthday party.

I then decided to continue watching the originals on my iPad.

"Adda Naisa let's go, it's already 3:30" Amrah said bugging me. I just finished tying my peach coloured turban and all set to go.

I am wearing a peach coloured after dress with a pleated turtle neck and balloon sleeves. I am wearing a black denim jeans and a white vest underneath. A little touch of nude ombre lips, some mascara and kohl. I have a black Versace bag with me.

"We are not going anywhere till I am done taking my photos now take this and make sure you take some good photos" I said passing her my canon camera.
