THE FAMILY DINNER

prologue

The airport is crowded. People going, people coming. The line for the tickets seemed like it would never end but Olamide is going to wait it out. She looks pale and lost and hopes no one notices but someone did. He is probably american with brown eyes. He was about six feet tall and his cream coloured hair looked messed up. "are you lost? Who did you come with? "

she averts her gaze away from this stranger and would probably leave and stop bothering her.

"where you off to? "he asked again. This time, her lips make movement "forward.. "

He seemed amused. Who wouldn't?

"listen.. My flight is in about an hour. I could take you home.. "

"take me with you"she blurts out. He watches this strange girl before him and narrows his eyes

"I'm going to Amsterdam.."

"Yes I would like to go there. Take me with you? "now, she didn't sound like an Egyptian goddess but a desperate little child that she was.

She sighs "I don't know you. You don't know me either but I need to leave. There's just too much load here for me to handle. I just want to start over "

he smiled softly watching her. "I understand.. It happens. My name's John. "

"olamide"

"olamide? " His accent and her name were a terrible combination and she laughs softly. She didn't realise she still had the will power to smile not to talk of laughing after all that has happened.

"just call me Phoebe"

He gave a chuckle "Phoebe's perfect"

She looked at the line once more. She just had to sit down because she may lose her slender legs standing in the forever line. She sat down close to John.

"I schooled in California.. "

And it began. Talked about his early days. His present and what he hopes to achieve in the future but Olamide wasn't on planet anymore. Nothing was making sense just like yesterday 'S night.

"I'm hungry.. Are you hungry? " she nodded. He got up and left. She smiled mildly almost a smirk. One hour more...
