"Mum, you are leaving already? "
"Yes honey "I replied smiling as she stretched in her nickelodeon pyjamas. I offered her Cinderella she said she was too old for princess cartoons. Still makes me laugh.
"Can't I go with you? "
"Oh honey you can't. You have school remember? "
"I know but... "
"Ill be back before you know it I have to go to Ireland. A friend of mine is having a party next week and I have to be there. You know the position mommy holds"
"But it's still next week! "She whined stamping her foot on the floor, this sturborn part of her.
"I have to go early "I reasoned with her.
"Ok. Save journey. Come back quick so you can take in your plane"
"Don't worry. Where do you wanna go? "I asked bending down to her height
"My classmate said she once went to Paris, ive never been to Paris mommy "
"Not only Paris. Ill take you to Korea, South Africa to see those huge huge animals "
"Yes and the zebra! "She giggled excitement Killing the sleep from her eyes.
"Excatly! Just Wait for mommy to come back okay? "
"Okay "She nodded kissing my cheek softly "Bye mommy "
I hugged grandma and grabbed my bag going to my private jet. I know going now is too early but I have a meeting with Stella Valiente, she wants to speak with me early in the morning about some shoes I put on hold. I have just two of them in the continent and one is with Michelle Obama She probably wants the other one not caring the amount. And I'll happily give her, we've met a couple of times and even used Hollywood spa together. She's so fun to be with. I also want a taste of Ireland before the party. A girl's gotta live her life. The last time I was there was with Mr Eros
Petrakin and Tristan Valiente,Stella's husband. And it was strictly business so I didn't see much of Ireland.
"Morning ma'am "My private pilot greeted
"Morning Smith "I waved at him and my personal assistant who was already waiting for me beside the pilot. I smiled sheepishly climbed into the plane. She was waiting in the cold morning for me
"You should have waited inside"I scolded
"It's okay. Ill take Tea when we get on air "She shrugged. I rolled my eyes smiling at her
"Just ring when you're all set " My pilot said, I nodded as I dropped my bag and proceeded to fasten my seatbelt.
"Before I forget, Remind me to call Korede when we get to Ireland okay? "
"I will" She said
"No, no better still. When we land you go pick her up from her up from New York okay? " I said talking to my pilot
"Yes ma'am " He replied
"Im set" I said and grabbed the chair arms as he took off. I thought of happy thoughts to kill my fear of planes. In starting to get used to it, if not for Korede in my life I wonder how I would have made it here the first time I was gonna be on a plane. That was five years ago.
We left Nigeria together I didn't mention anything about where I came from. Im Nigerian along with Grandma just that she lived half of her life here since she got married to grandpa who is fully Nigerian. My dad just decided to go back to Nigeria his home town.
