Ariel's Pov

Looking through my window,I sighed as the sky was heavily pregnant with dark clouds preparing it self for another mighty downpour.It has rained mercilessly in the middle of the night and everywhere was unbearably cold.Nigeria weather was never always as predicted. Sometimes,it could be time for winter and the sun would be so hot that you would have no choice but to think we had offended God.

By this time of the year the rain was supposed to have ceased completely but as I have said before you can never predict Nigeria weather. The thunder roared again and the lightening came almost immediately as the rain started with full force .I grimaced as I thought about how messy the road would be today and how there was a very huge possibility that the traffic would be disastrous due to the rain.

Aunty Bukky had surprisingly left for the business conference she was to attend yesterday evening instead of this morning as she had said before, leaving me all alone with her husband.Glancing at the giant clock that ticked away on the wall,the time said quarter to five and if I spent one more second on my bed, I might just end up being late.

Having no choice left I gathered all strength within me and got up from my bed as made my way downstairs to clean the kitchen and prepare a worthy meal for my self. After taking care of the few dishes I met there, I decided to boil rice before proceeding to sweep the living room and dust the furniture.

Thankfully, I had not seen uncle James anyway around so I just concluded that he was still sleeping. When I finally finished with the living room, I proceeded to the dinning area and the staircase that lead to the rooms.

Satisfied with the work I had done,I went to check the rice I was boiling,added little water since it was still somehow hard and went upstairs to sweep my room.After making sure my room was also well arranged I returned to vacuum cleaner to where it was always kept in the kitchen and proceeded to take my bath.

Looking at myself in the mirror attached to the wall of the bathroom while I brushed my teeth,I heard the door open as my heart skipped more than a beat within a second.Apart from the gatemen that slept in the boys quarter,the only person around in this same house I was in was Uncle James and instant fear gripped me.

"Oh Lord,not today,not today.Please!!"I muttered to myself moving towards the bathroom door with shaking hands as I went to confirm that the door was locked.

I sat on the toilet seat decided that I wasn't going to leave the bathroom till I was sure he had left my room.What the hell does he want from me this early morning,I thought he was asleep!!!!About twenty minutes later,I decided to take my bath after peeping through the bathroom hole and realizing Uncle James wasn't ready to go anywhere.

My teeth chattered as the cold water came in contact with my bare skin. The water heater in my bathroom had spoilt sometime last week and my wonderful aunt had warned me never to use her gas cooker to boil water.

When I was done, I secured my towel firmly around my chest region and with shaking hands I opened the bathroom door and walked out to meet Uncle James on my bed busy with his android phone still in his pyjamas.

"Good morning Sir."I greeted as I stood firmly with my back pressed against the bathroom door not daring to move an inch till he decides to leave my room.

He raised up his head as he eyes met mine and he smiled," Hey,Ariel. Could you drop all this formal shit! You know your aunt is not around and you also know we are way past that right?."he questioned rhetorically while he groaned dropping his phone on the bed.
