Osas returned back from work exhausted, it was a very busy day at the store and she couldn't wait to get back to her room and lie down on the bed
When she walked into the house she could hear Ivie giggling and laughing so loud. That's very strange because they left a brooding and an unhappy Ivie at home this morning, so hearing her so happy made osas very curious.
Osas rushed upstairs to the second living room where Ivie was playing scrabble word games with Raphael. They were both sitting on the floor with the scrabble board spread in between them while they face each other
They were so engrossed in the game and it was quite relieving to see that they were both having fun
The center table was littered with all kinds of junks, food half eaten and scattered all over the place. Ice cream, sweets, chocolate basically every sugary snack on the planet.
Osas nearly had a panic attack from observing all that they have consumed. Which makes her wonder how long they have been in this house together and how they managed to grow such a bond so quickly
Until now Osas didn't even realize they were friends.
"Ohhh there you are...." Mrs Erabor walked right into their fun
"What are we doing?" She asked smiling
"Good evening ma. Am winning uncle Raphael at scrabble. So far have won him at all five games we have played today, yeah I'm that good" she winks
"That's not true, little madam. You know I let you beat me at PS because you are just learning"
"Yeah whatever! But you know I catch up fast and that's how I was able to win all the other rounds. Besides have been winning you at the other games. I won fair and square with ludo, uncle Raphael is terrible at Ludo we had to move to Whatt games because he couldn't win any, then we played monopoly and now scrabble word still he can't keep up "
She shrugged
"Ahhh I feel ashamed for you Raphael, Ivie has truly schooled you" Helen teased
"No doubt she's really good but we are not done yet. I still.....,"
"Well am glad you guys are having fun" osas cuts in announcing her presence
"Good evening aunty osas"
"Good evening Ivie! How are you "
"Am fine" she grinned
"Oh I can see that."
"Uncle Raphael came to play with me"
"0h you don't say...." She rolled her eyes at him
"And how long as uncle Raphael been here""Since morning ..."
"Since morning. Wow! That's very nice of you uncle Raphael am glad you could make out time out of your very busy schedule to come play with my Ivie."
She emphasize the My'"But it's rather late now and just look at the mess you created so get up and tidy up this place. Ehn! See how you littered everywhere "
"Ohhh don't worry about it. I'll call Mary to come clean it up. Let's leave them to enjoy their games"
Mrs Erabor said"No ma! Mary didn't create this mess, they did so it's only right for her to clean up the living room besides you heard her they have been at this all day. So it's time to give it a rest. Oya Isabella get up and clean this mess right now"
She said the last sentence authoritativelyAnd immediately Ivie stood up and start to pick up the dirt in the living room
Raphael didn't dare interfere, he knows Osas is still very upset with him so now is not the time to meddle in their affairs. Game time was over and that's it!
