DROWNING

✓4🖤

I looked around after we got to New York. I then sighted Tommy holding a cardboard written on it:

WELCOME TYE.

I smiled and walked up to him and hugged him. He still calls me Tye while others call me Kira.

He is mom's elder brother not dad's.

"Tye! How have you been?" He smiled.

"Been good I guess". I replied smiling back.

He led me to his car and drove off.

"So how do you feel coming here?" He asked me.

"Well, to be honest, not too good. I apparently don't want to leave my whole life back there just to move here but since y'all think it's best, let's just hope it'd be fine here." I said honestly.

"I understand. That's alright. I promise you'd like it here." He assured me and I smiled in response.

In an hour's time, we got to Tom's. His house was a very big mansion, slightly bigger than my dad's.

Last time I came here was when I was nine I guess.

He had large compound and a beautiful love garden.

I went in. The inner was even better. He led me to the last floor and showed me my room.

It was big, nice and hopefully as comfortable as mine at London. It was painted white and blue.

Well, blue was among my favorite colors so yay!

I suddenly missed home. I dropped my luggage.

"Where's everyone?" I asked Tommy.

Tommy loves children a lot. Sadly, he could get only a child from his wife. He adopted over five children. Some are grown and in college already.

He always wants his house full but it's empty now.

"They went out. They would be back soon though. Get some rest. The trip must've been stressful." He smiled.

"There's food in the kitchen. I hope you don't get lost. You can call me when you can't find your way back though". He grinned and left.

I sighed and went to get a shower. I changed into a pair of trousers and a v neck top.

I dried my hair and packed it into a bun. Then, I started to arrange my stuffs in the closet.

There were already stuffs in there for me. Clothes, shoes n all.

I see why he asked me for my shoe size and cloth last week.

I originally thought he was going to get me those coz dad died but now, I realize they've thought bout Kay and I relocating since last week or even before.

Well, I wasn't hungry. So, I decided to take a nap. I didn't realize how tired I was until I got on the bed.

Not long after then, I dozed off.

************************************
I woke up and rolled. I got up. I was hungry.

It was five in the morning. I went to brush my teeth and went downstairs to the kitchen.

I didn't want to get food coz we'd all have breakfast by eight but I was damn hungry.

I got swiss rolls and sat to eat the two I got. I heard footsteps and I froze.

Why should I be scared? I'm not doing anything wrong. Tom said I could get food. Okay.

I was telling myself this to keep calm. My heart was still racing fast.

Just then, a guy came to view. He was putting on shorts and a white top.

He was obviously still very sleepy. He barely noticed my presence.

He had brown messy hair. Well, his eyes were barely open so I couldn't be so explicit about my description.

He hit my leg and kept walking. I ignored and he took my glass of water and sipped from it.

"Have you no manners?" I asked sharply.

A bit spilled and I cleaned it immediately. He opened his eyes quickly and frowned.

"What's this?" He asked with an irritated expression on his face.

I felt like hitting his head with a spatula. I get it. He sleepwalks.

"What? You refer to me as "what"? I felt offended.

"What else am I to refer you as?" He retorted.

"What are you doing here? Are you one of those hags Tommy feeds?" He asked harshly.

Offense taken.

"Do I look old to you? I'm Tommy's niece so, mind your speech." I glared at him.

"Does being his niece change anything? It doesn't mean I'd be any nicer to you." He told me simply.

I decided not to reply him. I took a bite of the swiss roll and he stared at me quizzically.

"What are you eating?" He asked.

"Did you lose your sight? It's swiss rolls." I replied him.

"Jelly roll". He corrected.

"I'm not from here." I rolled my eyes at him and got up.

"I see your accent." He muttered.

Good luck to you then.

I said that in my mind though.

I turned to leave. "What's it's name?" He asked with his hands buried in his pockets.

It, really?!

I turned to him, appalled at his guts and rate of rudeness.

" It's Naomi." I smirked.

"Naomi." He repeated in almost a  whisper I could barely hear.

I then left to my room,.leaving him in the kitchen.

Let's see how this goes.
