Green-Eyed Himbo

Chapter 2

Mom had the maids prepare brunch just about when we were leaving for the airport earlier.Cay usually ate only twice a day when she lived with us;brunch and late-night supper.And she used to really love pancakes,but this time,she wasnt so pleased to see pancakes and mango juice(her favourite)on the table.

"You don't like it?"I inquired."That's strange"
Didn't care though.i sat down and ate away!
"Its not that I don't like it.i guess I'm just too familiar with Chinese food.Sushi,Noodles and the like"she replied after taking a long dissapointed look at the pancakes.
"Sushi? That's Japanese,though"i pointed out.
"Nigga,you know what I mean"she shot back.
"Mom,she's using the 'n' word again"i alerted.
"Cay,what did we say about that word in this house?"Mom asked.
"We're blacks,Mom.Word don't hurt nobody"she defended.

By the way,did I forget to  point out I'm African-American?? Well,now you know.Honestly,its way more complicated than that but I'll try and  explain.So Dad's dad is a Nigerian,and his Mom has Spanish and American parents.My maternal Grandmother is a Korean-Nigerian and she got married to a British American.It actually sounds made up now that I really think of it.
Yeah,Cay and I are Multi-racial.What's more overwhelming are the wide-span of relatives we have from different races.Blame Dad for it all! He told me that when he was looking to get married,he wanted someone with as much  racial diversities as his.He ended up marrying someone worse!It's one thing that contributed to my facial prowess,though.My hair and nose look more Asian,my eyes are dark-green(I'm guessing that's European),I have moles scattered around my body,though there's only one in my face.Mom says a lot of Spanish people have moles,but I'm not believing her yet.I'm between black and brown skinned,and I love it!I guess everyone just recognises me as African because of it.I'm sorry to Grandma and Grandpa if I'm not representing properly.Atleast Cay looks more American than me.

Now,back to the pancakes before I get carried away!!!

"Just eat your pancakes before I clip your mouth with staplers"Mom threatened playfully.I usually take her words for it though.
Cay cut a piece from her plate and reluctantly took it in her mouth
"Mmmh,I missed this!"she exclaimed.
I was amused,but I went sour when she asked for butter-scotch syrup.I hate that stuff on anything ,and not wanting to watch her 'smear' poison on the pancakes,I excused myself and went upstairs.

About an hour later,Cay barged in my room like a psycho.
"The least you could do was KNOCK!!"I was visibly upturned.
"Atleast now  you kno how annoying it is.You barged into my room almost everytime when we were kids"
"And you did wat no one should do to a five year old back then"
"What did I do?"
Forget it.it was disgusting"

She waited for me to barge in..NAKED!!!!!!I always knocked after that.

"You still haven't told me how long your eye thing lasted"
"I didn't count.Wait,how did you even know I had eye surgery?"
"I'm smarter than  you think.Plus internet is free.Youd know if you stopped travelling around the world for absurd reasons"
"Whatever"she replied.
"I wont be surprised if you fly off to somewhere else for a butt implant"
"I can do that here though"she defended.
"You could have done your eye thing here too.You just need to be far away from Mom and Dad"i shot back.
"Whateve.Besides,I dont need a butt implant.ive got a really nice one"she said and squeezed her backside.

I wheezed in disgust.

" Please don't do that again.How are you gonna get married if that slate gets any flatter?"I teased.
She glared at me and stormed out
Atleast I got her to leave.
I was joking about her,though.She has a good figure and a pretty face.Attracts a ton of guys,but she scares them away with marriage talks just after a month of dating..Who does that????????

Getting married is a scary phase everytime I think of it.You no longer have the right to think only about yourself,and that's not one thing Mom prepared me for.
Besides,I've never seen anyone who'd "make my heart beat faster" as Uncle Fred would say about each one of his numerous girlfriends he usually broke up with in a week or two.All he really cares about is sex.Grandma says he's the most unclean person she knows,and I totally agree with that.

Well,the only girl I ever liked back in college didn't want anything  to do with me.She'd say that I was too handsome to be committed to someone.Yep,she bluntly came to a conclusion that all the good looking people were Casanovas like Uncle Fred.I guess I do know a little bit of what heartbreak feels like.And I know I couldn't have gone through it without Nathan,my best friend.

"Honey,Nathan's here"Mom called.

Speak of the devil!!!!!
He's probably here to talk about some pretty girl he met at a party,or play video games.

"What's up,Nat?"
He was already helping himself to pancakes when I got downstairs.He loved food too much.

"Can't you smell food or see food for once and  pretend like it's not there?"I asked.This was probably the thousandth time I've asked that same question,but who's counting?

"This is the hundred and second time you're asking that,and my answer remains no"he replied with his mouth full.

Wow,he was actually counting,I thought.

"I believe you've also counted how many times you've embarrassed yourself in public over it" I added.

He didn't answer that.He just went on blabbing about a new video game that was released yesterday.I wish I was listening,but I wasn't,and I figured that out soon enough to stop talking about it.

"I heard Charlotte's back"
"For the last time,Nate,stop calling her Charlotte.Your crooked accent makes it sound like the name of a rock that only exists in space.Its Cay to you"i snapped.

Nathan's British,and he loves making his accent as sophisticated as possible,and then he starts sounding weird.He also has a knack for switching accents....The fact that he chooses to switch between German,Russian and French which are the cutest,but still funny sounding accents is baffling.

"Fine,I'll call her Cay.Is she back?"
"Yeah,she is.Why?"
The smile that filled his face after I asked made me scoff.
"Don't even think about it.You're her brother's best friend.She'll want nothing to do with you"
"What? I wasnt thinking that though.My elder brother just likes her.He's seen her pictures on Instagram"he defended.
"Phew!"I sighed.
"Why would you even think that?"
"Because you're seriously unpredictable and into older girls"i replied.
"Not her,though.That thought has never even crossed my mind"
"Whatever"
"So.........could you give me her number?My brother asked me a favour"

So that's why he actually dropped by.

"Tell him to slide in her DM on Instagram. I'm not giving you any number"
"Fine then.I'm leaving"

He took a  pancake and quickly left.

What am I gonna do with him,i thought and shook my head.He's such a pain sometimes.

I turned around and was shocked to see Tan staring at me with her big,devilish green eyes.
"How long have you been here?" I asked.This time she began to glare at me.
"What?"I snapped at her in a really sharp tone and she hissed back,baring her fangs.
"I'm not even scared of that"i said and walked past her
She followed me and started scratching the crocs I was wearing.i lightly kicked her away,and it just made her upset.This time,she tried to bite at them.

"Do you have a problem with me or the crocs?"I yelled. I don't know if she understood that,but she stopped and walked away.
She's still the weirdest pet I've ever raised!
