Chapter 6- Vengeance is Mine

CHAPTER 6 - VENGEANCE IS MINE

AMY
It’s quite surprising how twins seem to be so attached is the first thing I think about as I watch them interact. I get pretty tired of my own self being around me always. Well, guess it’s the twin bond. I’m in this reverie when I step into a pool of water on the road causing a shriek to escape me.
“Amy!” Bailey scolds as I drag my leg up to remove my shoe only to discover the sole is coming off.
“Vengeance is mine, says the Lord.” Jasmine says, reminding me of the time at the mall when I stole the shoe. Well, you could call it that.
“Thanks Jasmine, I feel better.”
“I’m glad I could be of service.” She says as we arrive Bailey’s home. I stop to bid her goodbye and hear Jasmine’s statement.
“And look what the floods washed in…”
I ignore them and finish my discussion with Bailey.
“I’ll see you Saturday, sleep over.” I say “HBO or Netflix?”
“HBO” she says “I don’t have data to use and my dad has no plan to re-subscribe to his Wi-Fi plan.”
“Kk, so Saturday it is.” I say as I walk ahead, continuing my journey.
“…so you finally decided to make an appearance? I thought you died with your friend”
“That’s not funny Jas!” Jasper scolded.
“I’m serious. He disappeared like we suddenly had a terrible fight.”
“And I’m sorry…”
“Timothy?” I ask surprised as I fling myself into his waiting arms.
“Amy, how’ve you been?” he asks squeezing my cheeks as I slapped his hands away. Tim was fond of pinching my chubby cheeks.
“I’m surprised you care.” I said in mock anger. “You’re the one who doesn’t bother to call.”
“So that’s an actual trait he got?” Jasmine asks sarcastically reminding me of their presence.
“You know each other?” Jasper asks surprised.
“She’s my younger sister. I can see that you three know each other.”
“How do you know them?” I ask him.
“Martin’s siblings.”
“Martin as in your dead best friend.”
“Nice way to put it.” Jasmine says
“Sorry.”  I apologize as Tim nods.
“How come we never knew you had siblings?” Jasper asks.
“I never brought it up.”
“Mum’s going to be ecstatic when she hears you’re still alive.” Jasmine says as I laugh.
“Tell her I’ll come over on Saturday.”
“I’ll see you guys later.” Jasper says.
“You have a lot of apologizing to do.” Jasmine says as they stalk off while I pull my brother into the house.
“I’m surprised you decided to come around.”
“I missed my little princess.”
“Please!” I say as he laughs.
“Nma sends her greetings.” He says as I smiled. Nma was the contraction of his girlfriend’s name- Chidinma (God is Good).
“How is she?” I asked as he smiled. Tim was head over heels for that girl and she felt the same way about him.
“She’s doing great.”
“When are you going to ask her the big question?”
“I already did. She said yes.” He says showing me his couple ring.
“Is that why you finally came home?”
“Yes and No.” I grab two bottles of Coca-ColaTM from the fridge.
“Heads up!” I say as I throw the bottle which he effectively catches.
“You’ve gotten better” he says unscrewing the bottle.
“I’ve had practice.”
“So how’s work.”
“Stressful. I feel like the only thing I see is blue.” A giggle escapes my lips. “I have a three month break during which I plan to do my introduction.”
“You’re in a hurry.” I state as I lay my head on his laps looking up at him.
“I’m going to be gone for a long while, I don’t want her going anywhere.”
“Where could she possibly go, that girl acts like you’re the reason she’s alive.”
“Are you jealous?”
“Please, you’re my brother, it’s not like you’re going anywhere.”
“Now I know why I missed you.” He says as he traces the outline of my weaving.  “I visited Angela, that girl is a maniac, are you sure she’s our blood sister.”
“Don’t let her hear you say that. She’s unique, not weird.”
“Let me agree with you.” He says as the power supply is restored.
“Super Sport.”
“HBO”
“Rock paper scissors.” I declare as we both play Tim forming a rock while I form a scissors.
“You’re a mean elder brother.”
“I love you too.” He says as he changes the channel.
