Chapter 5 FIRE BURNS

ZOHRA

"Am not going to school and you won't make me" i said adamantly for the sixth time that morning to my brother, you see i have put it my way of life that a day after my period will be a resting day for me, lucky me for as long as i remember that resting day falls during the weekend, but this time around it fell on a monday, and no weekday on earth will make me abscond this day of mine,

so early this morning my down to earth, hot, handsome majestic brother came downstairs dressed up for work and i bet only to find out from ever squealing Miriam the squealing maid that am still on bed, forgive me she is nice, caring but SQUEALS ALOT,

I was under my blankets in my main bedroom, i was dreaming of my Knight in shining amour, yeah the future one, who comes every day to my dream with new looks and features, and guess what i was pulled out of bed just when i inhaled the scent of the strong Ouhd Al Ameer's perfume on my brother, i opened my eyes to see him scowling at me and me standing but almost leaning on him, "you are late for school" he said,  "no am not late, because am not going" i said and made to drop to the bed again, but he held me back, "and why is that" he asked surprised, "cause am done with my period" i replied with a smile,
   "And that means" he asked with a raised eyebrow clearly confused , "i do take a day's rest after every period of mine, and so it fell on a monday and i have to rest, so kindly go to work and be back early for dinner and on your way back grab some shrimps crackers for us, with Burger in Domino's " i said and meant to lie down but he pulled up again,

"you are going to school and it's final, now get dressed in five" he concluded and went out of the room and as Zohra as i was i laid back on my bed drifted into some minutes sleep when i suddenly heard ya Zaid's loud voice "Zohra" he shouted i sat up and saw him by the door, "you scared me" i complained pouting, "shut up and get dressed" he ordered,
  "No am not going" i said adamantly, "i will cancel your Spa trip" he said, i was horror struck, my Spa trip, i go for my Spa trip every three months to Paris, and i will be going for one in two weeks, why will he  threaten me with that, "yes i will do that with pleasure" he said with a scowl
   "You want to cancel my trip because i wouldn't go to school" i said tears welling up in my eyes, and he nodded with a smirk,
   "I feel humilated" i said feigning a sad expression, yeah thats me, a one of a hell dramatic queen, "whatever so get to school or loose the trip" he said, "fine am loosing the trip, but i will never forgive that" i said sobbing, i now lay back and continued acting the sobbing girl, and one thing with my big brother, he always falls for my drama, he came to my side and sat down and started to take back the brown long hair of mine that covered my face, "hey Queeny, am sorry" he said calmly,
    "Why do you hate me this days, i know it's because you have a girlfriend, i know it" i said sobbing, not that i hate to see my brother with any other girl, but i just have to be dramatic, infact i am ever curious to see my brother's girlfriend, it's a pity he still has none, i know she will be the almost picture perfect because he is one heck of a choosy, critic guy, lots of my school friends will do anything to get me invite them over to our mansion with the hopes they get to meet my brother, i heard he is this popular most wanted ladies man in Nigeria, *laughs* what is so special about this brother of mine, well i know he is good looking, hot, classy, but to me nothing special,

Ya zaid chuckled and said "you think a girlfriend will make me stop loving you, you are mistaken, but come on Zo, you have to school, pass to achieve something"
  "I don't wanna school that much, i just want to be a clothing and shoe designer not join some family bussiness" i said and truth be told i really don't want to be in the family bussiness, i want to be a shoe designer, have my own company and stuff, "how will you be a shoe designer and run a company when you don't want to school and learn maths" he said,
   "I know maths" i defended now sitting up,
"Fine Zo, am running late, you escape it today but you must tomorrow" he said giving me a peck as i use ounce of my strength to give out a victory yeeppyyyy.

Zaid

Why on earth will Zohra think i will stop caring for her because of a mere girlfriend, who even put that idea in her head, me, a girlfriend, i have no intrest in that, unlike Ubaid who has tons of girls he is dating more like chilling around with, all this thoughts flew in and out of my mind as i drove to office in my white V12 Zagato  Aston martin, today i had no intrest for any chauffeur nor guards but i know they won't just relent and have a day off,  they will still follow me, thats why it didn't surprise me at all to see two black hilux far behind me, i must admit they are really good at it, because not just anyone will notice they are being followed with the way they are tailing me, but hey guess what i am not just anyone, i am Zaid bin Zakkariya bin Zayman, call me Zaid Zayman, call me Master Zayman, call me Zedd Zakky Z man, thats all me, i hate to brag but am one in town guy,

just then another call came in from my I phone eight plus S, pure silver encrust, i checked and saw a number with no title, i believe it's one of the random numbers that usually call me, after all it's my etisalat sim card, the line every tom dick and harry who will call to tell me stories, i mean the girls, ladies and women, for heavens sake why elderly women, i am just 23 going to 24 in two days, let the youngsters do their things, not that i enjoy the attention and disturbance but hey, it's a free world, i can't stop them from calling me even thou i never pick the call that appears with no name on that phone, well i know you will say 'what about family members', well that job goes to my Samsung galaxy, when i get a call from that MTN line on that phone, hell yeah i know it's family or a close friend, when i get a call from the other samsung galaxy i know its from Zohra, Ubayd and my uncle, his wife and their everlasting chewing gum of a daughter.

On reaching the office, i parked my car and came out, as my office guards came up to me, one to get my case and the other my phones, i adjusted my shinny silk blazer and headed in as they were right behind me, and on entering the building my personal secretary Naomi came up to me, in a smart but cat walking manner, doing that to impress me, i know, you see Naomi, is one heck of a hot secretary, who will capture the attention of men and guys when she passes, but never in my life have i looked at her in any of those indecent ways, but i am so friendly with her, yes i am because she is hard working and so nice,
   "Good Morning Z man" she said with a smile on her face, yeah she called me Z man, i officially told her to stop calling me with titles because Naomi is like a family friend, my uncle and his wife are fond of her, and yeah she is among the people that have my glo line on my other samsung galaxy,

"Morning Naomi, how was your night" i asked as i collected the i. Pad she was forwarding to me, "steady, you are lucky your schedule isn't tight today but you will be joining i and my friends for some outing tonight"   she said as we work futher through the huge, wide reception which was already filled up with staffs and co going to and Fro, and as we walk some who pass by us will simply say "good morning CEO, good morning chairman, good Sire, Good morning master Zayman" i do answer some and wave to some, "do i have to" i whinned, "yeah, besides you asked me for a birthday gift and so this should be it" she said, "me joining you and your friends is the birthday gift you seek, who asks for that" i asked taken aback just as i wave to some female receptionists behind the giant reception desk, and i wasn't surprise when they have this excited looks on their faces, "i do ask for that" she said and i swear i saw her give a glare to the ladies i just waved at, "fine Naomi text me time and meeting point" i said, "oh you are to pick me up from my apartment and then we go" she said, i did nothing to mask my shock but all the same, i nodded,  "the Kerenskys and the Jergings have arrived for the 11 o clock meeting" she said,
    "This early" i asked as i cocked my head to the huge screen displaying the time in digital mode, it says 8:56 am, "known for their punctuality" she said nodding, just as we entered the VIP lifter, "this is stalking" i murmured, "whatever, the directors demanded for an ASAP meeting" she added,
   "Oh really, they demanded, not even requested, how insolent" i said with a scorn,
   "But i set the meeting tomorrow at noon" she added clearly doing away with my comment, just when the lifter door opened and we stepped out and headed towards my office, "whatever, hit me around ten, uncle said i should call him, and before ten thirty prepare the whatsoever, i have to be present for the 10:30 meeting in Korea " i said, thanks to technology, i get to attend lots of meetings in other countries from nigeria,

We entred my glass walled majestic office on the top floor, which os the sixth floor, well the glass are different, when you are inside you get to see everything outside, when you are outside, you get to see yourself, just like in a mirror, tricky and cool, i know.

"So Z man, will see you later" she said with a seductive smile, oh yes i know those smiles,i know it, she walked seductively out of my office, lols i don't care, i shook my head and now got ready for the office FIRE BURNS.
