"Do you want anything?" My whole family was hovering all over me. I was back home but since a glass cut open my thigh,I couldn't walk properly. I'll probably be at work next week and for the first time in my life,I didn't want to be home.
"Guys, I'm okay." My mom was feeding me the soup made by dad. I told her my hands work perfectly well but she doesn't want to listen.
"We want you to be perfect." Angie said. She was really feeling bad about leaving me at the club. It's like she wants to be a perfect sister but I've known Angie all my life. She's nothing but perfect but she's my sister. She may not be my dad's biological child because that's obvious but she's still my mom's daughter and I love her.
"Just stop hovering all over me. I know you mean well but you make me feel guilty." I feel guilty for making them sad.
"Una just posted that there's a gala dinner at her brother's this weekend." Addy said holding her phone.
"So why are you excited? You have to be invited in order to get in. These things aren't for everyone." Angie told her.
"Una invited me through an email. All I have to do is RSVP." She showed us the email and she was really invited.
"Where's mine?" Angie took out her phone and she wasn't invited."Addy can I come along with you?" She's usually invited to gala dinners by celebrities.
"Sure but you have to design my outfit." Addy always gets something in return.
"In three days?"
"Yes sis." Addy gave her puppy eyes and she agreed. They both went upstairs to start on the outfit. Angie is a freelance fashion designer. She can work at my mom's company and design her own things under my mom's name but she choose to freelance. She can design five different outfits in a month and she always finds clients. Her clients are just not anybody because she's expensive.
"I'll see you later, cupcake." Dad kissed my forehead and left.
"Are you comfortable?" Chrisy asked and I nodded and pulled him close to me. We cuddled and Mom went to the kitchen. You'll think that my mom is a housewife but she's not. Somedays she's at work.
I took my phone and connected to the home WiFi and scrolled on Instagram. I follow some people and there are people who follow me. I decided to search for Unathi Mhlongo and I found her account. She was just Unathi Mhlongo and her account was verified. She has a lot of followers and on most pictures she was with her friends,Addy included.
But on some pictures she was with Nkosinathi. There was one picture where they were wearing matching t-shirts and they were both laughing. Her caption was ‘my brother,my first love’ and she tagged Nkosinathi. I clicked his account and despite having followers it was private. I requested to follow him.
A notification popped in and I realised that I had an e-mail. It was an invite to the gala dinner at Nkosinathi's place. I was invited by Unathi. Is she the one inviting people?
"I was invited to the gala as well." I told Chrisy.
"Are you going?"
"I'm not sure. It's not my kind of scene and I don't know if I would be okay by then."
"You're just making excuses. RSVP, I'll come with you." My little bodyguard.
"Thank you bro. With you by my side,I can face the world." I kissed his cheek.
"Euw, I'm not your boyfriend." He scrunched his face in a cute way and I just laughed.
"Says someone who's practically sitting on top of me. I'm also not your girlfriend." I replied to the e-mail. I want to see Nkosinathi's house anyway.
