CHELSEA

Stepfather???

"Ok so my parent broke up, or is it got divorced? Whatever..
anyways I'm cool with it, I get to see dad when I want but mum got custody so I'm stuck with mum not that its bad because dad is never around so...." I stopped talking to check if she was even listening to me... yup I'm right she was' not..

Lilian! "

"Yeah?" She managed to look up from her ipad. "Sorry was just checking out the newest update on THE CHOSEN..have you seen that movie yet? It's so dope! "

"You are not listening to me" I said sitting up. We were in my room, just coming back from school I had pulled off my uniform and changed to shorts and a tank top and she borrowed a short and her singlet too, she is to wait at my place until her mum comes to pick her up on her way back from work but now she is pissing me off.

"But I am listening to you it's just that my attention is divided ... listen, I really need to download the next episode of this movie just give me a minute Chelsea, I'll be quick I promise."

Rolling my eyes I got up, left the room to go down stairs and prepare lunch. That was when I saw her, for the third time since Lilian and i got home from school, rushing to pick up the ringing phone.
What's up with her? I said to myself as I grabbed an already made sandwich that she probably made for herself. I thought about going back up but then I decided to stay and have a chat with her about who keeps calling and why she has that delightful look on her face when she talks to whoever is on the otherside. I poured myself a cup of juice. It can't be the lawyer...he is too old. Aunt nelly? Nahh... A long lost daughter? .. Nope! Unfortunately I'm an only child ...A boyfriend? ... I smirked yeah right i'll be darned!

After like a decade the phone call ended. Praise be to God I said to myself, oh and with the look on her face, she just noticed that I was standing here the whole time.

"Care to share who that was? Mum."

I asked.

She stood still as if deciding if to tell me or not...

"My .. boy- friend."

Ok now that. ..was a bomb-blast at least thats how it sounded in my head...

"Your what! Mum its been just one month you and dad split up, now you seeing someone else? " I said raising a brow.

"Listen chel, I didn't want to tell you this but now you are not a kid anymore.. me and your dad have been seeing other people for like a year now .. we just didn't get divorced reason being that we wanted you to finish your W.A.E.C exams first, but then, your dad could not wait any longer which led to our divorce few months to your exams ...".l

I raised another brow signalling a Go- On.

"I have been seeing Tyler for a year now and we are getting maried next month."

Now that was when I literally choked on my partially digested sandwich.

What the hell!!!
