DEMONS YOU MADE

Malik.

When the voice of a demoness stopped me on track.

"Son,are you leaving already?" She said all smiles. I could see past those smiles, very deceitful woman.

"You're leaving without seeing me?" I scoffed then walked away. I heard her loud devilish laughter resonate around the walls of the building. Evil thing! Urggghh..

I walked briskly out of the main house and hurried towards the gate, because the gate was farther from the main house. I heard another voice call me. It was sweet voice that held much melody. It was Ma Arin, the only Yoruba wife of my father, but she was the the fourth wife before Jemmy's mom. She was the most beautiful of Dad's four wives, excluding my mom of course, but unfortunately, she didn't give him any child. Most times, I pity her. She was known as my dad's handbag, because he took her to all of his events, he had this special liking to her.  Trust Aminah to be jealous and make her life a living hell.

"Malik, you came , son" she said enveloping me in a hug. I loved her scent.

"Yes ma, I did. How are you?" She smiled deeply

"Better, now I've seen my son. So, if I didn't call you back, you'd have left abi?" I laughed. This woman.

"Sorry ma, I didn't know you'd be around. You didn't go out with Dad today?" She blushed.

"No, I'm not too strong" I looked at her eyes, she had this tired and exhausted look.

"I've told you to be careful, especially around that witch. Y'know she hates you, don't give her the benefit of outsmarting you. You're smarter and more beautiful than she'd ever dream of being" she wiped a lone tear away and drew me in for a hug.

"This is why you're my favorite, if I had a son, I'd pray for him to be like you. You know the way to a woman's heart" I smiled at that.

"Yes, so when are you going to send me those your wonderful local dishes" I asked pouting. She threw her head back in laughter, slapping my head.

"I will soon, okay? Once I'm done, I'll send it to Jemmy to give you alright?" Did I forget to tell you she makes the most delicious meals?.

I nodded frantically and smiled. I proceeded to take my leave.

"Ma, I'd be going now" she hugged me again

"Bye, son. Take care of yourself and Ruby as well. Send my greetings to her. " She said winking. She found out about Ruby herself and has been teasing about it since. I also go to her for relationship advice.

She saw me off as I walked into my car, waving her goodbye.

Valerie.

"Skye, can you concentrate more or you leave my class?" That was Camille. I was in cooking class, we were being taught a recipe and Skye was busy making jokes about all the executives when Camille called her to order.

"You see, I told you she's a witch ..how does she know I'm talking about her?" Skye said whispering, I laughed cause it was funny, coupled with the glare Camille was passing her way.

"Skye darling? "

"Hmm miss?"

"Why don't you come teach the whole class the best and fastest method of cooking beans?" Camille said

"Sorry, but I don't like beans so I have no intention of learning to make it. I'm allergic to beans and peas" she said curtly.

"Ohhh wow ..I didn't know about that" Camille said

"It's a little surprise how made it here when you know nothing" Skye muttered but to everyone's hearing and the class was in an uproar of laughter.
Camille's face contorted into a deep frown, that was when Mr Mahesh, our Indian executive, decided to coordinate the class.

"That would be enough, fun's over, Skye try not to make a commotion. I don't like nonsense" he said

"But you like yourself...irony of life" she muttered, no one heard her but I did, even if they did, no one laughed, the fear of Chef Mahesh.

After classes~~~~~~~

"Skye, seriously you need to tame your mouth" I told her as we were in my car,she didn't come with hers, so I volunteered, who am I kidding? She forced me to take her home.

"If I do that, you'd be bored in class. Faces like Camille and Mahesh drain my soul. " I noticed she never really talked bad about Mr Perez,the guy from Paris, the best chef. You'd know when you see him cook. He was the youngest, and he was damnn hot.

"And Perez as well" I told her wiggling my brows.

"No ohh...Perez is okay. He doesn't have issues at all ...cool guy" she said smiling.

"You have a crush on him" I blurted out like it was the most obvious thing on Earth.

"No...I don't"

"Okay...but you do" she hissed and turned her face to the direction of the window.

I dropped at her house then turned back to drive to my house. Mom was at home when I got back. Bad timing.

"Where are you coming from?" She asked immediately I stepped into the house.

"I went somewhere" I simply said walking in.

"And somewhere has no name attached to it right?"

"Mom, can you cut me some slack already? I'm not doing anything that will hurt your beautiful image outside so you don't need to pretend you're worried about my well-being" I went up the spiral- shaped stairs into my room. I took of my clothes and got into the shower. I reeked of curry and thyme.

After I was done , I decided to read a book, I don't know how I fell asleep. Dinnertime, Mary came to call me down for dinner, but I told her I would have it in bed. Minutes later, she brought a tray consisting of a plate of beans and fried plantain by the side, a glass of water, and another glass of juice. I learnt a faster way of preparing beans, I'd tell her later. She'd be extremely grateful.
