Hello guys...would love to get your feedback, pls comment, vote and share.
One dropped, two, three until I lost count as it began falling earnestly and uncontrollably, I kept on sniffing and wiping my eyes with the back of my hand as I gazed at the sunset through the kitchen window with sullen heart, and I wondered what fate it held for me today.
"Tomiwa! What's wrong with your eyes?" Tolulope's voice jolted me back to reality. Tolulope was my elder sister who was staring at me questioningly. I quickly averted my gaze from the sunlight and looked into six pairs of eyes staring at me. Pasting a stiff smile, I directed my vision back to the onions and knife which I had forgotten I was holding and began chopping.
"You know am allergic to onions, it makes me cry so much" I answered while keeping my face down. She hissed and continued with the plates she was washing while Korede, my younger brother whistled and left the kitchen with the water he came to have, but my mum...
"It makes you cry so much abi? Yet you don't cry while consuming the delicacy it makes." She continued "Do you know you eat the most in this house? Yet you are always reluctant to do the house chores. Tomiwa! Hnmm! You better change, obìnrin mà ni éè" My mother scolded as she continued with the dinner she was preparing.
"You better hurry up before your dad gets back..." At the mention of my dad, my heart skipped a beat as fresh tears began falling from my eyes again and the sunset became more visible... I heard my own tiny voice
"It's almost sunset, I need to start going. Thanks for the gift and the treat, I had a wonderful time today" I said as Bayo and I both stared outside through the window of his room. Suddenly, he stopped looking outside and turned his focus on me and he held my two hands in his large palms and gazed longingly into my eyes.
"Tomiwa my love, there's nothing I won't do for you" He went on talking "I wish I could give you the world because you mean the world to me, I love you so much" he enveloped me in his embrace and I held tightly to him as we both relieved in the romantic moment.
"Tomiwa! Onions since morning!" Tolulope exclaimed, she walked closer and stood beside me.
"I'm almost done now!" I protested lamely and went back to chopping the onions.
"Fiííle, nkan to ma ję sùn nìyęn, let her continue with her sluggish act" my mum added. Suddenly, Tolulope exclaimed as she looked outside the window.
"Wow! today's sunset is really awesome and colourful" In no time Korede was already behind us to take a peek also.
"gosh! girls and exaggeration, what's so special about this?" He hissed past us and left us with our admiration.
"What's so special about me?" I asked Bayo as I broke the embrace with a stare into his eyes.
"Everything" He answered huskily, bent his head and caught my lips with his. I parted mine and he deepened the kiss further. So lost was I in passion that I didn't realise we had already gotten to the foot of the bed not until I felt my back touching the bed than the reality of what we were about to do hit me like a rock.
"Yeeeh!" I screamed as my mum's palm landed on my back, I quickly ran away from her grasp to the exit of the kitchen.
"Tomiwa, come back here! If I come to get you myself, you would be in soup" My mum shouted at me as she glared at me furiously.
"Mum please! I will be fast with chopping it"
"How many minutes will it take an eighteen year old girl to chop three onions? Answer me Tomiwa!"
"You better go and answer her!" Korede interrupted from behind and pushed me forward. I quickly caught a grip to my stand, I turned to him and charged on him.
"Korede! be warned! you have no say here, you don't know how to do anything but all you do is to eat and interfere in other people's business" I retorted
"Mummy, see her! She's still talking!" Korede replied seeking reaction from mother.
"Shut up Korede!" My mother barked back "Is she your age mate? You better go and fetch the water I asked you to fetch and get your naughty self out of this place!" She walked briskly towards him. Seeing this opportunity, I ran back to the window side to continue my chores while my mother continued venting her anger on Korede.
"Bayo stop!" I said as I placed my small palm on his chest to push him back. He paused for some seconds to look into my eyes, then went on caressing my breast, his large palm becoming soft on my bra, giving my nipple an ecstasy to demand for more...
