Standing with her towel wrapped around her chest,she walked into her wardrobe to get her dress for the service. It's Sunday and she is expected to be dressed in a Sunday wear according to her mom,which means dress corporate and decent. After about five minutes of picking and tossing gowns,skirts,tops and jumpsuits on her bed... She couldn't make a choice. Taking in the mess she created,she drew out a long sign as she picked out a dress which she refers to as her church compound wear. A simple floral print gown with a turtle neck black top and a matching silver low heel sandal and gets herself dressed up with a little bit of nude makeup to make her look more presentable.
Heading down the stairs she called out to her 14 year old younger sister Phoebe who woke her early this morning.
" Phoebe...Phoebe!!! Where is mom?"
She asked phoebe about Mrs Joel their mother who she couldn't find up the stairs on her way down.
Getting off the stairs, she walked towards the dinner area into the kitchen.
"What the hell are you doing doing in here?"
She blunt out to Phoebe who sat lazily on the kitchen slaps munching corn flask, She was expecting her younger sister to be dressed up for church but she's in here stuffing food into her mouth when everyone is running to church in other not to be late for service.
"Having breakfast..."
Phoebe replied her nonchalantly rolling her eyes at Mercy.
"Where is Mom?"
She asked her sister not caring why she is on the kitchen slab on a Sunday morning with a bowl of corn flask and toast beside her.
"She left very early, saying she has something to do at the office...and Dad is back,he will take you to church with him...."
Phoebe said not caring much about anything.
"Wait... Dad is back?" She asked. cutting phoebe off.
Phoebe nodded at her as she stuff her mouth with another spoon of corn flask.
Receiving the answer she expected. She ran out of the house to see their father. Sighting him she ran screaming at the top of her voice as she hugged him tightly around his neck.
"Dad...Why didn't you inform me you were coming?"
She asked him while him kept laughing at her childish display of affection towards him.
"You haven't grown up at all,still jumping on me like the little monkey you are"
He said grinning widely at her.
"Dad, stop it.... I'm not a monkey, I was just excited about seeing you. You know, it's been two months now since we last seen and you should be happy I came running to hug you"
she said to him pouting for a second before replacing her face with a silly smile. He pushed her away slightly in a soft manner as he kissed her forehead.
"You look pretty and stunning as always"
he compliments her as she span around for him to see her better.
