"Can we go home now", Mapendo told Max who, she spotted in his car gazing and staring as he was in deep thoughts.
"Huh!!! what did you just say", he asked her.
"Why are you gazing around like a zombielie", She tickled him at his waist to cheer him up. He really laughed hard telling her to stop.
"You still have goosebumps there", Mapendo asked laughing pointing at his waist.
"Yo.... really naughty", he mumbles trying to beam at her. In his smile, there was still this sad young man.
"I am not trying to play with ya max", She exaggeratedly winked removing her whole tongue out.
"You see....", he said starting the engine of his car.
"What's up", She asked him curiously staring at him very cautiously.
"Nothing much just remembered our dads", Max's words were slurred as a tear was rolling down his cheek.
Unexpectedly sadness overtook their joy like how tornados carry houses shuttering them into pieces. Mapendo also remembered her dad and couldn't help but whimper.
"Be strong Mapendo. We shall overcome this", Max held her arm. At least there were there for each other.
"Goodbye and try to relax. Whenever you need comfort just call me and will come, we comfort each other", Max said dropping her at their driveway.
"Where is the fucking makeup kit", Mapendo yelled pacing back and forth in her room. She was furious about how her sister always borrow her staff without returning them.
"Ashlee...Ashlee...Ashlee... I need your help", She called her so loud. Her big mouth couldn't control it.
"I am here now", Ashlee was startled since she thought there was a fire or an insect.
"Why do you look so frightened", Mapendo laughed as Ashlee was seeming scared.
"There is no problem actually. I wanted you to came and help me apply makeup on", Mapendo informed her searching for a dress to wear.
"You almost sucked my intestines outta ma body ", Ashlee gasped out loudly glad that all was good.
"First, apply the concealer then the foundation, omg!! the way these two pimples are protruding annoys me", Mapendo pointed at the pimples she was referring to.
"Who is the guy...? You going to meet. Do I know him? Tell me....", Ashlee was extremely curious.
"I am just going for a tutoring session. Will come back before midnight", Mapendo responded.
"Is it Max or Liam", Ash asked applying mascara on her.
"It's neither of them. Its Dylan the guy who dropped me off the other day", Mapendo just knew it. She would ask questions like a Fbi agent.
"That's why you wanna look so sexy... aaah", Ashlee tissed her in a flirty way.
"You so sexy wow.....!!! This Dylan guy will be so impressed", Ash complimented her outfit.
"Thanks and remember to close the door. Have carried my keys", Mapendo informed her.
"Alright, big siz. And don't forget to bring me the chocolates he will buy you", Ashlee requested her with that look 'please am your little sis'.
"Hahaha fine .... aaaagghh.... just drop that look", Mapendo chuckled.
"Hey are you coming.....?", Dylan called.
"Yes, I am on my way there. I am already in a cab coming", Mapendo responded.
"Alright, my pretty lady am waiting", he said.
