When It's all over

You just don't give up!

I woke up to the smell of fries plantain and noodles.
My favorite!

"Morning sis , you're awake. Breakfast will soon be ready." She said sweeping the floor.

Fatima was very hardworking. Which we both got from my mom.

I stood up from the bed, to go to the bathroom.

"JESUS , ADE WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR RIGHT CHEEK! ITS RED AND SWOLLEN!" she yelled.

That's when I remembered about last night...about Mr K slapping me.

"Oh, this...it's still there abi? I uhm-I hit my face on something while I was at work cleaning. I'll just put ice don't worry about it."

"Oh....sorry. You arrived home very late last night yeah?.."

"Yeah uhm...I had to wait for certain customers to leave so I could clean." I replied as I sat on the toilet seat.

"Mhmm it's not easy, let me bring your breakfast."

She entered the kitchen, coming back with a bowl of noodles with plantain on the side and orange juice.

"Fatima....thank you my darling you didn't have to."

"I wanted to...besides I live here rent free, let me at least be useful."

"Are you not my baby sis again, why would you even pay rent" we both laughed.

"Serve your own too let's eat."

"Okay." She went back to the kitchen returning with her own plate .
We sat on the bed enjoying the meal.

"Oh Yeah that reminds me , hand me my laptop over there." I said putting my plate aside.

"Let's apply for schools. I want you in the best highschool." I started browsing through school applications and we filled them together.

We applied to about 3 different schools;
Queens highschool
Bernato park high
And Jules high.

These were three of the best schools in Johannesburg.

"But sis, what of school fees? How we go do am?"

"Don't you worry about a thing. That's my job you just study hard and pass."

"Thank you sis Ade."

She embraced me and I hugged her back with a kiss on her forehead.

"This your forehead is big sha" I said playfully.

"Sis!!" She yelled punching me on my shoulder.

We playfully fought with each other , hitting each other with pillows.
I suddenly felt the urge to vomit.

I ran to the bathroom , fell on my knees and started vomiting in the toilet.

"Sis are you okay!"

I threw up some more before rinsing my face and laying on my bed.

"Jeez, were my noodles that bad?"

I giggled.

"No sis, it's not your noodles I think I have a fever."

She placed her palm on my head.

"Ah you're hot oo...as In boiling hot.

"Its okay.. we'll go out to buy some medicine. Don't worry about me. Finish your sweeping then go take your bath."

"Okay."

My head felt heavy and nauseous.
I picked up my phone, and did what most teenage girls do when experiencing this.... Google!

What does it mean when you vomit and feel nauseous?

I scrolled through the website.
The only word I kept seeing was, PREGNANCY, PREGNANCY AND PREGNANCY.

Nah.
I definitely couldn't be pregnant.
How because Mr K used a condom the first time......I guessed.
I wasn't sure!
It all happened so fast and I was anxious I never even thought to check if he used one.
But he's a grown man...I'm very sure he did.

I received a text.
It was Christian... Neo's brother.

Chris❤️: Morning beautiful...how are you doing?

Such a gentleman...but I had to play hard a little.

You: lol, nice one I'm not smiling though better luck next time😂

Chris❤️:ouu ouch ! I wanted to take you out for lunch today..you down?

I couldn't because I promised Tima I'd take her out today.
And my plan was to surprise her with a phone...since she didn't have one.

You: Im sorry, I'm taking my sister out today.

Chris❤️: oh... okay then, dinner?

You: you just don't give up huh? 😂

Chris❤️: Nope! Dinner it is. Pick you up @8

Great...now I had to buy a dress for the dinner.
I literally had no dinner outfits.

"Tima abeg hurry up we have a lot to do today!"
