I stared at my reflection in the mirror I wasn't anything extraordinary , or magnificent but I was a normal a good kinda normal. My fro packed in a high bun , i didn't bother to apply no make up it wasn't like i was even good at it , I couldn't help but notice the contrast between my white chiffon blouse and my dark skin making my lips twitch up in a smile , though i was teased about being too dark , i was different and i loved it.

"OMA".  My aunt practically screamed from downstairs, making me shake a little astounded as my little quiet moment was distorted.

"Yes I'm coming" I replied practically running down the stairs ,before i came face to face with the woman that saved her from the hands of this cold world, after my parents left , Aunt Marilyn had been a source of solace her blonde hair packed in a bun , her skin still radiating and her rainbow maxi dress was amazing . No , she was amazing.

"You know for someone you age you shout to much " I said which earned me a smack on my head.

" You know for someone your age you are as slow as a snail "

"Was that supposed to be a comeback" I snickered

" Come have breakfast dear "

"No thanks, I'll skip today, how do I look"

Her eyes scanned my white chiffon blouse , black pencil skirt and black flats .

"Basic" she replied, I dramatically held my chest, feigned to be hurt .

"Stop being overdramatic , and get out of my house and don't forget to say a little prayer , I love you " .

" yes I will and I love you too" .

" Oh and Devontae is coming around today be sure to come home early" she said stopping me dead in my tracks.

Trouble in paradise was all I could think of as I , left for work.
