RISE AND SHINE. The morning rays filter into my white room, as the curtains automatically slide open, inviting the morning sun. My eyes flicker, my brain reminds me of the encounter with Tosin earlier.
I fling open my gold coloured duvet when I hear Mother's voice in the hallway. She's scolding Sua for not preparing dinner for me last night. Tosin must have snitched.
The fool.
I get up and walk into my closet, scowling helplessly at no one in particular. Switching on the ceiling lights, I glance through my row of robes and select the navy blue fleece robe. I wrap the straps around my waist and step out.
"Ivan?" Her rose perfume walks into the room before she does.
"Good morning, Mother." She's wearing one of those linen night gowns that look like white curtains or ghosts.
"Morning, darling," she hugs me.
"Did you sleep well?" I ask because I've always asked.
"As needed my boy," she smiles. "You went to bed quite late yesterday, must have had a long tour. Did Mrs. Ogunlede show you pictures of her daughter, Modupe?"
I recall the images of the petite dark skinned girl with big dark brown eyes and small brown lips.
"Yes, she did."
"A sight to behold isn't she?"
"Quite the sight," I reply
"And did you know she's already studying to become a medical doctor?"
"Mother, where are you going with this?"
"Don't mind me, I just love when girls come as the full package, " she says.
"Full package?" I repeat,
She laughs. "That aside, I'm so sorry dinner wasn't prepared for you, these stupid staff–"
"Mother," I interrupt her.
"What? Are you making excuses for them now?"
"Not excuses Mother, they're people too."
"Hmm, anyway, breakfast, and then you'll review the accounting statements sent in last night. The board wants you to get familiar with the finances of your company, and before I forget, everything is set for your travels in September." I catch her smile before my brain replays what she said.
