JOYCE
I was so shocked, confused and dumbfounded beside I donât know the right word to used and describe how I felt at the moment Lucy hugged him.
Alot of things running into my mind, questions that need to be answer.
The way she hugged him seem to me that they have known each other for a long time.
I stared at them with my mouth wide opened and now I know that am not the one he came to see but Lucy.
âDid you live her?
He asked her while looking at me.
âYes! This our houseâ
She replied with smiles.
I forgot that my mouth was still open it was when housefly want to kiss me and I closed my mouth immediately still confused and waiting to hear the next thing he or she will say.
âThat means Joyce here is your sister?
He asked again.
âShe is my sisterâ
She replied.
The way she answered the question seem that thereâs hatred on that voice.
âDid you know her?
She asked.
I thought what could be his respond.
âYeah! She is working for meâ
He answered.
âOh I see! So where are you taking me out today? You know am fully well dressedâ
She said with smiles and adjusted his short gown.
I have to excused myself from them, am tired of this they nonsense come conversation beside am not the one that he came to see, I walked out looking so sad.
JAMES
I missed her so much and I decided to come and see her not knowing that I will see Lucy who happened to be her sister.
And she just ruined everything for me because she thought that am here to see her.
I saw the shocked and confusion written all over Joyceâs face.
I know she will be thinking that am dating her sister thatâs why I came to see her.
âWhere are you taking me to?
She asked again calling me off from my thoughts.
âWhere did you want to go? You know I donât know anywhere in this villageâ
I said.
âDonât worr, I will show you around the whole place and we will go to the best restaurant in thisvillage, you will deflently enjoy your outing with meâ
She sounded with so much joy written all over her face.
âOkay!
I replied.
âJust give me a second let me grab my bagâ
She said and ran inside.
I look at Joyce who is busy washing her clothes hoping at she will look at me but she didnât until Lucy came out.
âWe can go nowâ
She said as soon as she came out.
She held my hand and we walked inside the car and zoomed off.
JOYCE
âI told you he will not come for me because he donât love me, he came to see Lucy because she is the he loves and not meâ
I sounded so sadly.
âSister I donât think so, I konw that he got feelings for youâ
Rita said.
âStop saying that Rita! Did you see the way Lucy hugged him which show that they haveknown each other for a long time and she love himâ
I sounded still sad.
âI know he hugged him but did you see the way he react when she gave him that hug?I know that he came to see you and he was so shocked at the moment he saw Lucy because he never knew you and Lucy are sistersâ
Rita said.
âOkay as you said he came to see me! Then why did he spoke to Lucy and went out with him, he could have talk to me insteadâ
I sounded.
âI know he supposed to not react that way with youâ
Rita said and went to spread the clothes.
âRita he talked to Lucy and went out with her because she is the one that he came to seeâ
I said as I poured out the dirty water.
âSee Sister, you have to start to work tomorrow and find out if truly he loves you and not that busy body that call herself Lucyâ
Rita suggested.
âRita I will go to work tomorrow but am not going to do what you said I will just focus on my work and nothing more because I have gotten what I want to know which is he did not love meâ
I sounded.
âSister what I know is that he loves youâ
Rita said and went inside.
âSister I will like to go to my friendâs house and collect some notes that I need to completeâ
Rita said.
âOkay, donât wait time ooooo before mother will come backâ
I said.
âI will notâ
She said and went out.
LUCY
âI feel good you know

I was singing and rejoicing, my heart was filled with so much joy.
Dancing with my goodies and approaching to mother.
I continued with my song as Icame closer to mother.
âLucy! Lucy! Why this excitement?
Mother shouted with smiles.
âMother I feel good know!
I shouted with joy.
âi know that and I want to the secret of the goodnessâ
Mother said still rejoicing with me.
I looked at Joyce and Rita who are mopping at me with a surprise face.
âMother did you know what?
I said.
âWhat is it? Talk to me my ears are itchingâ
âMother my boyfriend came and spoiled with this goodiesâ
I sounded with so much joy.
âWhich of your boyfriend?
Mother asked.
âMother which of my boyfriend did you think will spoil me like this of not my rich boyfriend James?
I sounded still rejoicing.

Mother shouted and went inside.
JAMES
That Lucy of a girl is something else.
We went to a restaurant that she choosed to be the best, she ate and ate and acting so funny at the restaurant behaving like someone who have not eat since she was born.
She begged me to help her changed her wardrobe which I agreed.
One thing about my life is that I hate turning down on people especially when they asked for something that I know I can be of help.
We went to the boutique, she make choices of dresses and accessories too.
She wanted to follow me home but I rejected it telling her that am so exhausted and need rest so I gave her money for her T fee.
I hope Joyce will come to work tomorrow I need to talk to her and make her to understand how I feel about her.
I remembered the passionate kiss we had and smiled and hoping to have another kiss with him.
JOYCE
âSister remember what I toldâ
Rita ran inside my room and said as I was preparing to go to work.
âWhat is there to find out again when I have gotten all I need to know? He even took her out and brought things to herâ
I sounded.
âI know but that should not make you to conclude, you need to hear from him firstâ
Rita said.
âRita thereâs nothing to hear from him, I just have to let my feelings for him to die because it will not work for me and him and I donât want to come in between me and Lucyâ
I said as I applied a little powder on my face.
âBut sister you just have to try and you know sister Lucy is busy body and i know she is the one that is running after himâ
She said.
âI have heard you, am ready to workâ
I said and went out.
I got no reason of asking him if he is in love with my sister beside he came love anyone he want to am not the one owning his life.
I got to his house and the gateman asked me the reason why I have not been to work for the past three days.
I told him that I was not feeling fine thatâs why I did not come to work.
I got inside, he is not downstairs so I went straight to the kitchen tidy it up and tidy up the sitting room too and also dust the furniture and other things that needed to be dusted.
I waited for him to come down so that I will know what he will like to have for breakfast but he is not coming.
I waited for more hours and he didnât show so I decided to go up to his room to tidy it up thinking that he is not at home.
I got to his room and to my greatest surprise I met him on the bed pressing his system.
âGood morning sir!
I greeted looking surprise.
âWell you came!
He said with smiles.
âI came to sweep the room I donât know that you are here, I will come back later when you live the roomâ
I said and turn to live.
âNo Joyce! You can sweep beside your sweep wonât distrub meâ
He said.
I turned back and started sweeping and also avoiding eye contact with him.
I sweep and got to the side he is, the spirit of strapping and falling now came.
I strapped and landed on on top his body, he stared at me romantically and about to kiss me, I stood up immediately.
âSir! What will you like to have for breakfast?
I asked facing my face somewhere else.
He breathed with a sound.
âI will like to have noodles with eggs and fresh tomatoesâ
He said.
âOkay Sir!
I replied and parked the dirties and went out.
Why am I also strapping and falling on him?
Immediately I landed on him I felt his whole body around my body too and the feelings to kiss him came into my mind but I have to control myself.
Why did he want to kiss me?
Done with the breakfast and dished it out for him as he was waiting for me at the dinning table.
âWonât you join me?
He asked as I was about to live.
âThanks! Am fullâ
I replied and went out.
I went back to the kitchen sat down nothing to do mopping around the kitchen .
Few minutes later, he came inside with his plates.
âSir! You could have call me to carry itâ
I said as I collected the plates from him.
âI just want to bring it, Joyce why didnât you come to work for three days?
He asked.
âI was not feeling fine thatâs why I did not come to workâ
I lied.
âOh! Am sorry, how are you feeling today?
He asked feeling so sorry.
âAm better todayâ
I replied.
âI guess you need something donât hesitate to inform meâ
He said.
âI will sirâ
I said and he went out.
