Two Mistakes Ago

Chapter 10

Hello FAM!!..so I finally have the picture of what Cruella looks like and here you have it my favorite zynnellzuh! I mean we know she's pretty and sweet...but she has that strong personality that I admire so much...so in this story she's our unfathomable Cruella!!!

Sheila's POV

I decided to go back home and sleep my loneliness away. Just then I heard someone yell my name loudly..

"Sheila!!!!!" He called.

"What!!! Elorm!!! Where have you been all my life? I...You! You abandoned me remember? at DNA right????" I said with a serious frown on my face.

"I know, I know, chillax* (slang-chill and relax)..You see, my stupid Landlord ejected me and I still even haven't found a place yet. That night, when I left you alone, believe me my belongings were on the streets.." He explained.

I believed him somehow. OK, totally.. I believed him totally. I hadn't seen him all week in our neighborhood or at work...and he was sincere, I could see it in his beautiful eyes.

"I'm sorry about that, but what's up now?" I asked in a concerned tone.

"I'm just thinking about myself"... Oh..Can I live with you? Please...for this week only!!! Till bakatue* is over please....,"he begged sorrowfully.
(bakatue is a festival celebrated by people living in Elmina, to preserve aquatic life)

I pitied him so much, but I didn't believe him. He's a Ghana-man obviously, and he definitely knows how well to play the game. I had to be very cautious. This is just the second time I've seen him ever since I was born, there's no way I should be cohabiting with him even if its just for a week especially after he's told me this cock and bull story....

"eerr, that's fine, its alright. You can live with me this week..haha! I wouldn't mind.."the words flew out of my mouth before I knew it, leaving me smiling sheepishly.

"You are one in a million!!! Heerh!!! I dey feel you pass!*"he exclaimed and cupped me in his arms.
(I dey feel you pass - I like you more than anything)

It was official, I was a complete imbecile. I had just invited another mistake into my house. I barely know this guy and Daniel had categorically stated that he was a chronic womanizer. I invited Seth to live with me once and it was quite unpleasant but I managed Seth for one month so one week shouldn't be a problem....

"Thank you Sheila! Honestly I am grateful. You are a kindhearted woman and I know you are in my life for a reason. I'm totally in love with your generosity, look you don't have to worry about the bills or anything. I'll sort you out...and I know you have helped me a lot but promise me you will also help me find accommodation as soon as possible. Please help me princess!" he said.

" E.L..look..."

"Wow, Sheila, you just called me E.L..today is really my lucky day!! Where did I sleep last night? I have to go back and sleep at the exact spot. Sleeping there has really brought me luck!"

"You believe that superstition? Luck has nothing to do with where you sleep okay? And listen, E.L..well okay Elorm, I'm saying, I can't promise you anything. I'm working and you know how time consuming my work is! I actually have to spend about 100 a week hours watching these soap operas over and over again just so I can join in the discussion at the chat room. I can't be going around with you and you should bear with me please.."I ended my statement begging him.

"oh that's sad, but hey, what you are doing for me is enough. I really appreciate this!!" He said happily.

"So, can you take me to DNA? I badly need two shots of cosmopolitan tonight," I confessed.

"What! You don't really look like a party girl but looks like you are....and no one goes to DNA on a Thursday. You see everyone waits till Friday to fully enjoy. Why do you want to drink the chicken soup now when I am still pounding the fufu for you?"

"Shun the fufu proverb!...Are you taking me there or not?" I asked in a harsh tone. I was getting impatient. I had this feeling that Daniel would be at DNA today, even if it was a Thursday. After all the club god says we can club everyday not only Fridays....

"Alright! Your highness, we go storm DNA soon like celebs, make you no shiver"* he said.

(Alright! Your highness, we will enter DNA in grand style soon like celebs, don't worry)

"Whatever, let's just go!" I ordered. I was soon going to be his landlord and I had to learn how to be bossy around him...

Tell me you have missed Sheila's wall clock! Well in the next chapter we will hear his narration!! I'm sorry I am updating rather slowly, but please bear with me. I am working on something very pretty.. you would totally love it!! Shout out to all Ghanaian wattpad users..I'm proud of you!!! Oya Chop kisses*
