BOOT STRAPS

Heated Arguments

"Are you kidding me ?! Oh my God!" I could hear Drake's rant from where I stood.

"I'm so sorry about this, Mike." I apologized and he smiled at me as he nodded.

"And please take care of him." I told Becky as she settled him in the back seat.

"And keep your dramatic Drake away from my brother." She said as she wakes over to the driver's seat. I knew she was really angry at me, I didn't expect her to be nice.

I watched as Becky drove the car out of the gate. I looked over at Drake who was still standing with the cops.

"Skai, why don't you go in and take a rest, you've had a long day ." Darius wanted to calm so as to prevent any drama and to be honest a big part of me wanted to rush to Drake and punch him in the guts but I'm sick of him already.

I stormed into the house, I banged the door really hard and I could see the twins with worried faces in the living room.

I spot a duffel bag on my way to the stairs and kicked it out of my way as I rushed up the stairs.

I could hear the footsteps of the girls trailing behind me, I stopped immediately and turned around to look at them.

"When did he even get home ?" I asked them angrily as I looked at their faces.

"This evening after you ran away.". Busola said as she looked down at her legs. My eyes narrowed at her statement and I was to angry to control myself.

"You think I ran away ?! Is that what you two think ?!" I charged at them and I could hear someone opening the front door.

"No it's just that..."Busayo tried to same something but was interrupted by someone else.

"Are you also going to shove my cousins ?" I rolled my eyes at the annoying statement of Drake.

I walked towards the twins and took their hands, I took them into their room and banged the door behind us..

"I'm really sorry, I was just saying things out of anger, I didn't mean anything out there." I apologized to the twins squeezing their hands to show how sorry I was.

"It's okay, we know you are not mean." Busayo said as she smiled at me.

"Please don't prolong the drama, just go to bed already, you've said enough." Busola said as she hugged me slightly.

"Oh yeah like your cousin would do that." I chuckled as I hugged both of them.

"Don't worry, I'm going to be fine,I just need to iron things out with Drake." I assured them as I broke the hug.

They nodded at me as I turned around to leave. I bumped into a hard chest as I closed the girls room.

"Give me space would you ?!" I snarked at Drake who stood so close to me.

"Oh but you don't require much space from Mike ?" He barked at me as I rushed down the stairs and I could hear him following me.

"What do you care ?!" I rushed into the kitchen opening the door with so much force.

I walked towards the fridge and took out an ice pack, I needed something to chill the heat I was facing.

"Skai, what is your problem ?" He narrowed his eyes at me as he stood by the door.

"I don't know Drake, maybe it's because I can't cope with the fact I'm living with a murderer !" I angrily blurted out as I pressed the ice pack on my head

"You don't know anything about Angie." His voice was now calm as he walked slowly into the kitchen.

"Oh then why was her mom out to get you killed uhn ?" I still raised my voice at him,I was so angry today and I don't intend calming down any moment.
