Part Of Me

Chapter One

Another shitty day at school, I thought as I walked into the house and threw my bag right there, not having the intention of going upstairs and putting my bag there and changing out of my school uniform. I was probably the only one home, mamma and dad were still at work and my older sister was still at school. 

I took my phone out of my blazer and saw that I had received several messages from a couple of people, one of them being my best friend. I attended to her message while working my way to the kitchen to see what a girl could eat." Good day Amala," said my nanny Lola, who was coming out of the living room and walking into the kitchen." Hey Lola, how are you?"

" I'm good and how was school?"

" Same old, same old, 10th grade being an absolute bore," I said as I let out a very dragged groan." Sweetheart, you need to begin developing a relationship with the school, it's going to be in your life for a while," Lola said, doing her caring mother bit. It was appreciated, but it wasn't always needed." You love doing this Lola and you know very well that my reaction will forever be the same,"  I stated as I giggled and started making a cheese sandwich.

She giggled too and left me in the kitchen." Alexa, play my making food playlist,"  I said and the first song that played was Sabrina Claudio's messages to her. Music was my happiness and I made sure that with every chance I had, I was blasting loud ass music in the house.

"Mali," said my older sister Amazon as she walked into my room without knocking, as per usual." Maz, I tell you all the time to knock before you come in."

" What would a 16-year-old be hiding in her room."

"The same thing a 25-year-old would be hiding in hers," I said." Whatever so mom is home and she said that I should come and tell you to look cute for dinner because dad is coming home with his best friend's son."

" Dad doesn't have a best friend."

" Just because he passed away doesn't mean that he doesn't have one."

" Oh, you mean Uncle George. I didn't know he had a son."

" Well, he wasn't always in the picture, but also when he was around you were pretty young to realize who he was."

" Why are we getting dressed up for him," I asked. Maz took a seat on my bed and said," Well, I don't know, but that's what Mom wants and he will be staying with us for about a month or two." I did not like that idea one bit, I was going to have a weird-ass human being in my personal space, I already didn't like it when my family was around." Why didn't they ask us if we would be okay with it?"

" Mali, it doesn't matter. The guy will mind his business and will have no business around a kid, especially a guy who is 35," she said. What the actual hell, what was an old man doing living here when he could just find his place?

She was right though, why should I care about someone who will be dealing with his shit." Okay, so dinner starts at 19:00, Mali don't be fucking late," she said as she made her way to my bedroom door." I'll try my best," and she was gone. I looked at my closet and wondered what a lady was going to wear at this unnecessary dinner.

If I even looked a little bad, my mother was going to give me slack about it, as she did for quite a lot of things.

Luther's P.O.V

" Luther, it's so good to see you again," said Mrs. Sternberg as she gave me a warm hug." Good to see you too," I said as I hugged her back. Once the hug was over she ushered me to the dinner table where Amazon was seated, but the younger one wasn't there or maybe I had it all wrong." Hi Amazon."

"Hi Luther, it's good to see you," she said with a warm smile on her face. We all sat down then Mrs. Sternbrg said," Amazon where is your sister, I thought you told her that she shouldn't be late."

" Mom, I did, but we all know that Mali moves with her wave," said Amazon. I knew there was another. The last time I was here she was a toddler, I doubt she remembered me." Sorry, I'm late guys," said a young ladies' voice. Mrs. Sternberg moved out of the way and in front of me was a beautiful young girl, the most beautiful young lady I had ever laid my eyes on." Amala, why are you late?"

" Mom, this hair needed some help, looking for an outfit wasn't easy and I'm not the best with time," she said and I couldn't help, but giggle." Well, Amala at least you're here. Come, greet Luther and then lets finally eat," stated Mrs. Sternberg.

Amala finally put her eyes on mine and I swear at that moment I had lost my breath, she offered me a huge smile and then walked up to me with her left hand out so that she could give me a handshake." Hi, I'm Amala," I took her hand and gave it a quick shake." Hi, I'm Luther. A pleasure to meet you."

" Pleasure is all mine," she said then let go of my hand and made her way to the empty seat next to her sister. I couldn't take my eyes off her, I don't know why, but I was hooked.

Amala's P.O.V

Everyone was deep into a conversation that I wasn't interested in. I was too busy thinking about when we would finally be dismissed." Amala, do you even remember Luther?" asked my dad and I looked at our guest with a small smile and said," Not even one bit.

Maz pointed it out to me that he was around when I was a toddler so it makes sense why I wouldn't remember him." This Luther guy was quite hot if I had to say so myself, pity he was old." Very true pumpkin. So, guys, Luther will be staying with us for two months only because he is moving to England and he had sold his house so I offered him accommodation," said my dad, and again, I lost interest in the conversation." Please make him feel at home, okay guys?"

" Yes," said my mom and sister while I kept quiet and started playing with my dessert." Amala I'm also talking to you too."

" Yes Dad, I'll make sure he feels very welcomed,"  I said and offered my dad a fake smile and before looking away, I looked at Luther for a few seconds. He already had his eyes on me, with the biggest smile I'd ever seen. He looked fascinated or shall I say intrigued.

I wondered what he found so fascinating. I found myself smiling genuinely now but looked away and went back to playing with my dessert.
