The Robert Sisters

Chapter 27

Ding!!

The microwave beeped.I walked into the kitchen with my ear piece plugged into my ears and my phone in my pant pocket.

"Girl!you're so lucky" Erica screamed over the phone.

I put on my oven gloves and pulled the hot plate of jollof rice out of the microwave, put it in a tray and carried it to the dining table. "I really detest her right now.She knew and she kept it all to herself." I finally said as I sat down to eat my lunch.

"How sure are you?"

"I'm 100% sure.She was acting too friendly with me and I know someone like her can never have anything to do with me."

"Enough of this your low self esteem girlfriend." She scolded me,"You should be happy you have a filthy rich sister who loves you and not some bitchy gold digger."

"What's there to dig anyway?"

"What's up with you?" She asked, changing the topic of discussion.

"Nothing much.How's everyone doing, especially your sister Jessica?"

"Step sister." She corrected me.

"How's she?"

"She's good,everyone is doing great."

"That's nice." I said

"You haven't met your sister since you returned, have you?"

"No.I don't think I'm ready to face her just yet."

"Karen you had better see her. You'll most likely run into her someday so the earlier you do so,the better for you."

"Yes I know that." I sighed.

I was about to say something else when I heard a soft knock on the front door."I think someone is at my door."I told Erica, "Can you just hold on for a minute while I get the door?"

"No it's fine.I'll just hang up,we'll talk later."

I checked the peephole and saw Chase then I opened the door wide open for him to come in but the person who stepped into my apartment with him killed my very bright smile.
I shut the door and dragged him to my kitchen."What the hell is she doing in my house?"

"Relax Karen, she just wants to talk."

I scoffed, "Talk about what?"

He lifted my chin up and looked me straight in my eyes."I've spoken with her and I think you should hear her out too.Trust me on this one love. "

I couldn't say no to those beautiful pair of eyes that stared right into my soul so I gave him an affirmative nod.

"That's my girl," He smiled. "I'll be in your bedroom,you girls need privacy."

Having said that, he left me alone in the kitchen. I don't know what he said to Valerie because she came to meet me in the kitchen.

"Hey."

"Uhm...Hi,how are you?" I asked her.

"I'm good and you?"

"Great."

We just stood there staring at each other before I broke the silence. "What can I offer you?" Was I really asking her that I thought to myself.

"A seat." She replied smiling.

"Oh sorry, forgive me.You can sit." I pulled out a kitchen chair for her.

"So,uhm...." I started but she cut me off.

"Listen Karen, I'm really sorry. You must think that I became friends with you because I knew we were sisters but that's a lie.I've always liked you as a person even without knowing we share the same father. I just got to know lately, I don't want to steal your father's love from you.All I want is the opportunity to know my biological father and it's fine if you don't want to remain friends with me. I just came to clear things with you."

She got up and left the kitchen. What are you waiting for Karen, go after her.She's sincere.I listened to my instinct and immediately went after her."I forgive you Sis."

She stopped and turned to me. "For real?"

"For real.I should be the one apologizing for not being understanding and for acting like a child.I'm sorry Sis."

She pulled me into a tight embrace and pecked my cheeks. "Thank you Sis, I love you."

My eyes were teary already, "I love you too Sis."

"Now was that so difficult?"Chase asked as he leaned against my bedroom door frame,with his hands in his pant pocket and a smirk on his face.

Below is a picture of Valerie.
