Au Pair

#15

Cai noticed that things have been tense around the house, infact everyone has noticed. His banter with Mellisa was less and Mellisa didn't look as happy, her and Eugene have "talking" a lot which resulted in Mellisa being upset or sad or angry. Camilla had asked Eugene what's happening but he refuses to answer. How Cai knows all this? He manages to find himself at the scene of the crimes everytime and he hates it.

"Heyy." Camilla said coming to sit next to Cai and out her head on his shoulder. "Hi, is everything okay?" Camilla nodded. "I guess? Me and Eugene are still fighting. He just refuses to tell me what's happening." Guilt immediately settled in Cai's stomach and he wished he could tell her what's happening. But it wasn't his to tell anyway. "I'm so sorry. But I'd rather not hear about your relationship woes. But you can get him to tell you, corner him, manipulate him. Give him an ultimatum or something." He said and Camilla laughed "You watch too many movies Cai, probably why you're still single.". Cai slapped her thigh lightly and chuckled. "But really, you can't keep being this miserable, get him to tell you." He said and Camilla hummed.

"Look Mellisa just, just hear me out. I swear and I promise you I will do whatever it takes. " Eugene begged for the hundredth time. Mellisa rolled her eyes, it wasn't her first time hearing this and it surely won't be the last. "Leave me alone Eugene, I told you to come talk to me after you told Camilla everything." She said nonchalantly folding Little Cash's clothes. The said Little Cash cooing on her bed surrounded by toys and a supporter plushie.

"You know I can't do that, you know I can't." Mellisa shrugged. "Well that means me and you are done for. It was nice knowing you Eugene." She said standing up and opening the door. "Look Eugene I'm not joking, this better be the last time. And if you don't tell Cam about all this I will and imagine her finding out from me? It won't be nice. Be quick to tell her or else ..." She said and nudged Eugene out and closed the door.

"Cash baby, your family is so stressful. Want to come to Nigeria with me?" She said and Cash smiled. "I'll take that as a yes."

Mellisa looked at Eugene who was chatting with Camilla and laughing. She was getting annoyed because he was telling her nothing was wrong and that he's been busy and all. She sighed and looked at Cash who was sleeping on her lap, "Can you not grow up to be like any of your family members? Or men in general? I'd love to see you grow up to be-" "Mellisa." She was cut in by a familiar voice. Caden. "Oh hi Cade. Is everything okay?" Caden nodded hesitantly, "Kind of? I need to talk to you about something." He said and Melissa nodded. "Privately?" Caden whispered. "Oh oh, okay. Let me put Cash to bed. I'll find you in your room."

"Oh, hello?" Mellisa said in surprised as she found a tall boy with black hair and multiple piercings on Caden's bed. They both looked nervous as if they had been talking about something hushed. "This is my boyfriend Harlyn." "Hi Harlyn." Mellisa said Harlyn smiled awkwardly and waved just as so. "Yeah and...and I'm think of telling Ben and Maeve that I'm gay."

"YOU'RE WHAT?" a voice boomed outside Caden's bedroom just as Camilla's voice shrilled downstairs

"YOU DID WHAT?"
