Emily's POV
Gosh! This damn building is beautiful and large. The best part of it is that there aren't many stairs available! I can now enter anywhere I want to with little or no stress.
The house is cool but needs cleaning and I wish, I could be of help as well!
Right now, they are arranging my things in my room. Well, I picked the room opposite that of our neighbors'. Because of its great viewing spot!
I can be able to see cars, people and also enjoy the refreshing breeze from the window.
Between the two buildings, little flowers were planted and It's such an amazing sight.
"Emily, where are you?" I can hear dad calling me and that brings me back to reality.
"Dad, I am in the kitchen!" I replied and in less than two minutes, dad came in!
"Baby you scared me a little!" He said, touching his chest like he's calming his mind.
"Hey dad, am okay and am not a kid anymore. I know am tied to this wheelchair but I can still do some stuffs. It's not like am gonna get kidnapped or kill myself.... Ermmm...... Maybe I tried that sometimes but am moving on and managing life the way it is." I said smiling but he wasn't. He looks like he's gonna cry. They knew how I have tried to commit sui*ide before.
He walks up to me; now smiling. Then, he bends and plants a kiss on my forehead.. "Daddy loves you a lot!" He said in a choky tone. Immediately he said it, I felt my heart melting!
Everyone has been busy since we arrived and no one is really talking about food. Well, I joined in arranging some of my stuff tho! And now my room looks ravishing.
I push the wheelchair over to the window side, just so I can enjoy the fresh air. Maybe enjoying nature will help me feel a bit more relaxed and happy. Well, happy is far lost in my dictionary.
Moments later, a car that looks like a Range Rover Sport stops in front of our neighbor's compound.
Like I said earlier, I can see what's going on from my room.
With the rays of light, the person who stepped out of the car looked young. Because it's dark, I can't tell how handsome he looks but with the moonlight, he looks okay.
How hot would he look in the morning? How do I know when I don't go out?
Damn! His looking towards my direction. I quickly push the wheelchair back and just then I felt my heart racing faster.
I don't think he saw me! Shit! I need to be more careful. Wow! Just a little move saved me from being seeing.
Smiling to myself like I just escaped from the hands of a big gaint all by myself but no it's my fellow being.
Rolling the wheelchair over to the bed, I help myself to my well arranged bed. Am beginning to feel a little hungry, tired and sleepy.
It's just 8:34pm, I will try not to sleep too deep. And just before I can think of something else, my eyes close to sleep!
Taylor's POV
I just got home only to notice we've got ourselves a new neighbour.. I frown when my eyes hits my wrist watch. Oh no! It's 8:30pm already? I guess mum will freak out and won't let me sleep without a headache. 'Oh God, do something!'
Entering the kitchen, something smells yummy. I move my eyes around and it got wide when I saw a lot of dishes. Now she's mixing butter and sugar in a bowl.
Are we celebrating something or what?
"Good evening mum!" I pause to study her fake smiling face before continuing, " I know I messed up! Am not suppose to come home this late. The truth is, I was with some of my friends and got so carried away.... What should I do to make it up to you?" I finish and wink her.
Am praying she don't ask for something impossible. Yeah, I know my mum! She always get a way of punishing someone, especially I.
You know I'm stubborn. Lol.
"You crazy brat! You got your ways right? Well, there is something you can do for me." She looks at me with this evil-smiling look.. then she takes a little mixture from the bowl and taste before she continued. "You are following me to meet our new neighbour and we are gonna have our dinner there. That's final!" She added and didn't bother to look at my face.
Shit!
I don't wanna go anywhere! I guess I have to accept it as my punishment, then I run up the stairs. I've got to look for something good to put on.
Damn it! Here I am, in front of our neighbour's house. Can't believe am doing this! But well, it better than getting to wash toilet, do the laundries and cook for 2 weeks without any help from her. Hell no!
"Hello, good evening!" We both said at the same time to the beautiful woman that opened the door.
She looks younger than her age but I bet she's old. She's so beautiful and I really do wish she have a daughter coz I know the girl will look like her.
"Good evening too!" She replied us, still staring at us in surprise.
"Well, we live next door! We thought you'd be hungry and we prepared dinner. Hope you don't mind!" My mum said, giving me a scary look to smile more.
I hate this woman! Jezzz... But not as hate hate though.
The woman saw my mum's stare and started smiling, " please come in, Mrs. ..." She paused and not knowing what next to say.
"Mrs. Stella!" My mum completed it, " And this is my son, Taylor!" She said with a bright smile....
She's introducing me like I don't know my name or I can't talk.. argh!
"Mrs. Stella, am extremely grateful! Please don't mind the house arrangements. We are still working on it! I must confess you are a God sent!!" The woman said as we walk in.
"Make yourself comfortable Taylor!" She said and called my mum to the kitchen. So they could get to gist and do whatever women does in the kitchen.
I'm left alone to view the house to my heart content.
I must say the house isn't bad at all. It's beautiful and have weird arrangements. The pictures on the wall looks so lovely.
I didn't get to view more when a boy of my age came out of a room and smile at me. He looks like some one I can hop with.
At the dinning table, Mrs. Adrian; so she said her name was, said she wants her kids to start school immediately but, she doesn't know much about here.
Oh no! This isn't cool!
Mum just suggested my school.... And looking at the young man at the other side of the table. Once Terry enters my school, all the girls will want to flirt with him and not I.
What do you think? The dude is fucking handsome. Those beautiful eyes alone and full eyebrows can call attention.
Mmm mmm.... this food taste so good!
