In Between.

Looking at myself in my long standing mirror, I was comfortable with what stared back at me to an extent.

 I was wearing a  black skirt, a peach long sleeved top and black shiny shoes with my black scarf; which was the choir uniform of my church for this month.

Running my palms down the length of the pleats in the skirt, I breathed out, grabbed my phone and my bag and walked out of my room.

Sunday morning once again in my not so large family was the same as always, everyone looking so dull and looking for an excuse to go back to sleep, but today, I felt a small ginger when I reached the last stair.

Laura was in a bright red lacy straight gown Ankara that was slited to her knee. Chai this girl ehn. I walked to her, blinking and being overly dramatic.  " Wharis this?" I stopped  in front of her, my eyes running from her exposed legs to where the slit stopped. 

"What?" She  looked at  me, while still trying to wear her chain wrist watch. "Nothing o hmn. " I dropped my bag on the chair and assessed her again.  Only God knew the person she was going to seduce in church oo.

An awww filled my ears as i turned to the direction of what brought the reaction from my sister.

My eyes practically popped out of my head when i saw my baby brother and lots of aww's escaped my lips. My baby brother was rated to me the most adorable baby on earth right now. 

He was so cute that he brought tears to my eyes. Ok, just kidding but ah, abeg the boy was..... I didn't stop my legs that were already moving in his direction so swiftly and a smile lit my face when he stretchedhis tiny hands forward for me to carry him.

But, so quickly as the smile came, it went because just as i was about to carry him, my sister whose hands proved to be longer were all over him, she kissing him and he just laughing, showing his 32. Or wait .... his teeth were not up to 32 but anyways...

I sighed and waited for her to finish her time with him and when she was done, it was me time with him. And then,  he made my day by giving me a peck on my cheek.

"Please abeg which one is all this one na lets go to church." Micheal came down frowning as i turned to him.  "You were the one we were waiting for hope you know?"

"So it is still me that everyone is waiting for when you are here doing as if mofe just fell off from the sky." 

I grabbed my bag totally ignoring him and giving my full attention to mofe my baby brother. The time that I will have time for him is coming. Ah.. I will beat his life scarascara.

Minutes later, we were in church and I still didn't want to let go of my little brother because i won't even be able to touch him after church because of everyone that would want to be carrying him and taking pictures.

Finally, I came down and breathed in, drinking my warm water for my voice to be cleared. 

As I stepped into the church, I couldn't help but smile when i saw David my friend and supposed soloist for today's song frowning. 

"Hey" I raised my eyebrows "what's up."  Holding up one finger to me, I realised he was on phone, trying to explain to someone how to get to where he was.

Only God knew who the person was now ooo . I waited patiently and when he was done, he smiled at me before going back to his phone.

When he was done, he smiled, his smile surprisingly wide and extending to someone behind my back.

"Hey guy how far?" He passed me as I turned to who his friend was. My smile, dissolved to a frown, more of a shock than surprise as i came face to face with Joseph ituah.

Thanks and Hapoy new year people!!!
