Chapter 34
“Why don’t you wait till tomorrow morning” Dorothy suggested.
“No I have a outdoor makeup class tomorrow morning so I need to go this evening” she said.
“Wow who will be teaching you guys?” Dorothy asked.
“Makeup artist Suzy” Mia replied.
“The makeup star?” Dorothy asked.
“Yes it is her and that’s why I don’t want to miss the class” Mia said.
“Yeah you should go, I don’t want you to miss the class too” Dorothy said.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Don’t worry I will visit you one day and live forever here with you” Mia said.
“And who told you I want to live with you forever with you?” Dorothy asked.
“You can’t pretend, I know you want me to live with you here” Mia said.
Dorothy went closer to her and hugged her, “I love you so much Mia” she said.
“Aww I love you too Doro” she replied.
They broke the hug and Mia prepares to leave.
“You are going already?” Calvin asked when he met them on the way.
“Yes I think I have overstayed” Mia replied.
“Tell one of the drivers to take you home” Calvin said.
“Don’t worry I will take a cab” Mia said.
“OK take care” Calvin said and left.
“Your husband might lack culinary skills but he is quite caring” Mia said to Dorothy.
“Yes he is my Honey pie” Dorothy replied.
Dorothy and Mia went out of the house and made for the gate when someone shouted “Mia darling!”.
They both turned and saw Levi sitting on a car outside the garage.
“Are you going Mia darling?” Levi shouted.
“Yes good bye” Mia shouted back.
They went out of the gate and trekked up to the entrance gate of the estate.
“Call me when you reach home” Dorothy said to Mia when they were outside the estate.
“I will and why is your face like that? It is not as if I am traveling out of the country” Mia said.
“Nothing, I will miss you” Dorothy replied.
Mia hugged her and said “you will be seeing me at school and I will also visit you”.
“It is fine” Dorothy replied and they broke the hug.
“There is a cab coming” Mia said looking at the cab approaching from the right.
She hailed it when it came closer and went towards it.
“St Rita’s street” she told the driver.
“Get in Miss” the driver said.
Mia got inside the cab and closed the door.
“Here is your money” Dorothy said to the driver giving him two dollar notes.
“You shouldn’t have Doro” Mia said.
“It is no big deal” Dorothy replied.
“Thanks Doro, we will see later” she said.
“Yeah, goodbye and take care” Dorothy said and the cab drove away. She watched as the cab went out of sight and she went back to the house.
“Should I drive you inside ma’am?” the driver asked Mia when he stopped at the street leading to her house.
“No here is fine, thank you” Mia said and got out of the cab and started walking down her street.
“Ma’am wait !” the driver called at her.
Mia turned and saw the driver coming towards her, he got closer to her and gave her a pamphlet.
“It’s my wife work, she is a motivational speaker, I think it will help you” the driver said.
“Thanks” Mia said and collected the pamphlet from him.
“Take care ma’am” the driver said and went back to his cab. Mia looked at the pamphlet, the heading says “shut out anger, embrace peace and calmness”.
“Just what I needed” she said and took a deep breath and continued walking down her street.
As she was approaching her house, she saw someone sitting at her porch.
“Who could that be” she thought.
She got closer and saw that it was Taylor her ex-boyfriend.
“Miame” he said and came towards Mia wanting to hug her.
“Don’t !” Mia shouted at him.
“What is it? I thought that we are now back together?” he asked.
“Well you thought wrong, we are not back together, we will just remain as good friends” Mia said.
“So the sex meant nothing to you?” Taylor asked.
“The sex we had was a mistake and it is not going to repeat itself again ever” Mia replied.
“But I love you so much Miame, you are my bright morning sun and the oxygen that I breathe” he said and got more closer to Mia.
“You are a jerk Taylor, a very big jerk. This was exactly what you said to my stepsister, I thought you have changed but you haven’t” Mia said.
“Please believe me Miame, I have changed for good. I have now realize how much I love you” he said.
“No Taylor you haven’t and you will never change. And my name is Mia not Miame, have a nice life” Mia said and went inside her house.
“Miame please I am sorry” Taylor called at her.
“When you are done yelling you go home but don’t overstay there because I will call the cops on you” Mia said from inside her house.
“Please listen to me Miame” he pleaded but Mia ignored him.
After waiting for ages at her door, he left the place and went down the street where a red car was waiting for him by the road side.
He opened the back door of the car and got in.
“How did it go?” a woman in her mid-forties asked him.
“It was going well until her friend came and ruined everything” he replied.
“Kpa” came the sound of the slap that the woman gave him.
“You ungrateful fool, you couldn’t even do this small simple thing I asked you to do for me” she said.
“Believe me ma, I tried everything it was her friend that ruined it” he replied holding her aching cheek.
“Get out of my car, you bastard” she cursed.
“Ma I am so sorry” he apologized and got out of the car.
“Drive Clark” the woman ordered her driver and he drove off.
