12 .

"Have you talked to your dad?" Uncle Sage asks me .

I handed him a plate to dry as I washed out another one . "No . I miss him though." He nodded his head . "I bet he misses you too."

I slightly smiled . "Can we go for pizza tonight? I'm tired of burgers." I made a gagging noise .

He chuckles . "I'll see what I can do."

We finished up the dishes and I went into the living room to cool off . I was really hot for some reason . It's only spring but I feel like it's the middle of summer . I cut on the ceiling fan , air conditioner , and a fan that Uncle Sage had in the far corner of the living room . I turned on the tv and started to watch Tom and Jerry .

The door bell rang which caused Sage to run to answer it . It must be someone important .

"Why is it so cold in here?" I heard a female voice say . Then walked in a short woman with purple hair . It was pretty though .

"Who is this?" She asks with a snobby attitude . "Sage doesn't have any kids." She tells me .

"I'm fully aware." I stood off the couch and stood in front of her . "I'm Lani . His niece . And who are you ? His maid ?"

Her eyes buckled . I could hear her heart collapse . "Sage!" She yells .

"Why do you have to yell?" He jogs into the living room with a duffle bag over his shoulder .

"It was nice to meet your maid Uncle Sage." I sent him a sarcastic smile as I walked passed them to get to my room .

...

My eyes suddenly flutters open to a dark room . I quickly sits up confused as to where my life was at the moment . I looked at the clock and seen it was 10:03 p.m.

How long was I sleep ?

I crawled out of my bed , ignoring my house shoes and walked out of my room . I went towards Sage's room but stopped when I continuously heard consecutive moaning .

"Right there baby." A female cries .

"Stop crying." I heard Sage's laughter .

I stepped a few feet away from the door so he wouldn't think I was ear hustling . I stood in the middle of the hallway with my back facing his bedroom door . "Uncle Sage?" I called out loud . I heard a few things being moved around in his room then he came out .

"What's up baby girl?" He walked to me shirtless . "I don't feel so good." I told him . Which was the truth . My head was hurting badly but I was extremely hungry .

"Let's get you something to eat." He curls his arm around my shoulder and leads me to the kitchen . I sat down as he takes out a packet of meat and two boxes of macaroni .

"What are you doing?" The female from earlier was now standing in the kitchen doorway with nothing on but one of Sage's tshirt . I rolled my eyes at her trifling ways .

"Your maid sure knows how to clean up." I said . That caught Sage's attention . He looked up at her and frowned .

"Go back in the room!" He bellows .

She slightly jumps at the base of his voice and leaves , not before sending me a mean mug . Sage shakes his head as he prepares me a full meal . An hour later and a kitchen filled with painful laughter , Sage was finished with the food . He cooked macaroni , steak , rice , peas , corn and rolls . He placed a plate in front of me . I silently thanked God for my uncle .
