_____________________________________Nana.

It's already Sunday evening and I haven't decided if I still want to work for James or not.
What's up with this guy?
He has been all bad ass on me and now he wants me back?
Wait oo hope this guy was not drunk when he came here yesterday...huh.
How did he know our spot, how did he know my area, how did he get to know that we sold food?
This James is just a weirdo
A very annoying weird human being for all I know.

I sat on the bench outside while receiving the cool breeze provided by nature.
The moon had began popping out of it hiding place and the sun setting.
Hmm I sighed.
Why do I keep thinking about his proposal?
I don't want to work for or with him.
All I wanna do right now is to stay with and take care of my mum period.
We will call him and say..... something like his proposal has been put to due consideration but unfortunately,I cannot work for him.
Sorry Mr grumpy James.
I'm not sure I've ever seen the guy smiling..does he ever smile, cause all along he carries about this annoying smirk on his face.

Woah woah whoa look who's in deep thoughts Juliana's voice came landing in my ears.
Hey couz came Lisa's voice
Ohh my miss this two.
As in ehhh
I miss them.
I stood up and gave each of them a hug.
Babes how fa na I asked in pidgin language.
My dear as you can see we just dey oo as if we get choice.
Any direction life place us,we go follow shey you grab asked Juliana.
I grab my dear came my reply.
Where is Aunty and uncle I asked.
Ohh mum went for one meeting like that.. you know women naa
Meeting here meeting there I wonder what they use to discuss sef anyways, she always comes back with goodies so..I don't mind said Lisa.
What about Uncle?I asked.
He went to visit a friend Lisa replied.
Ohh what about you guys I asked.
Which guys Juliana asked me.
The two of you of course.
Ohh you mean my sister and I? Juliana asked.
Yes I answered.
We are on our way to Abuja like we just arrived Jos came her reply and we all started to laugh.
Abbi oo see this mumu that we came to visit is asking silly question.
Just tell me if you have gone numb you know so that we can ask Jesus Christ to fix you Juliana said as she sat down beside me on the bench.

Where is mummy?Lisa asked me.
Ohh.
She and the two girls went to buy some food ingredients in preparation for tomorrow I replied.

Ehen madam I heard that Mr delicious came here yesterday is it true?
Juliana Juliana Juliana...
How many times did I call you?
Three times she replied.
Okay now tell me ehm
who is Mr delicious.
Is that why you must call me three times she asked.
Mr delicious naaa...ah
Your boss abi your oga
What's his name sef?
James.

So spill jhoor
Tell me did he propose to you?
Did he ask for your hand in marriage?
Ohh my gosh...I wish I were here yesterday.
Tell me naa
Was he serious?
Infact how did he propose hope he knelt down?cause if he didn't I'm going to break his knees.

Now if I say Juliana is an idiot people will say I'm not a good cousin.
Of all people to propose or ask for my hand in marriage,why should it be the proud, annoying and grumpy super rich bad ass James?
This girl will just jump into conclusion and guess what?
She won't give you space or even a little chance to talk until she is done rambling.
Let me just allow her after all,she has been talking to herself for the last two minutes.

Juliana open your eyes, shut your mouth,stop imagining things and let's listen to what Nana would say.
You have been talking bla bla bla without full stop.
Take a deep breath and calm down what is your own sef?
Lisa spoke to her sister.

Juliana simply kept quiet with her eyes on me.
I know she is not done cause once I tell them what went on yesterday,she will continue from where she stopped.
Fear Juliana's mouth it is her weapon.
Not only her mouth cause everything about her spells trouble especially if she doesn't like you.
So?they both chorused.
He wants me back I blurted out.
He wants you back as in we don't understand did you break up or something?
No I mean he wants me to work for him I replied.
Ehen and what was your reply?
Lisa asked me.
Well,I didn't reply
We told him we would get back to him after we decide.
Okay so what's your decision? Juliana asked with positive anticipation written on her face.

No.
I don't want to work for him I replied.
Ehn? what? infact I didn't hear you.
You don't want to work for him ?
Aunty you dey craze?(are you crazy)
Which one is you don't want to work for him?
Juliana let's respect her decision Lisa told her younger sister.
Respect which decision?
You think this route she is taking is a decision abi?
Please you guys should not abuse the definition of decision oo Juliana spoke as she gave me frightening death glares.
Wait first what is your reason? she asked me.
I just want to stay and take care of mum came my reply.
Wait is mummy ill again?
No I replied.
Is she complaining?
No I replied.
Did mummy say she cannot take care of herself and your two sisters?
No I replied.
Good then you don't have any reason.
When you worked for James did he try to molest you, insult you,abuse you or harm you?
No I replied.
You said his siblings like you right?
Yeah Chelsea does I answered.
You said the guy is cute and rich and from what I heard,he is a gentle man clear indication that he is not going to hurt you.
We are not sure of that I replied.
Good then let's try him.
If he tries any stupid moves,call home I'm mediately you hear? Juliana said while drawing my ears.
Now,we are going to walk into that room and get you ready no but's.
You are leaving this house wether you like it or not hundred thousand is not a child's play Juliana told me as she dragged me into the room.
Typical definition of annoying cousin.
Lisa on the other hand followed suit without saying a word she was just smiling.
Arrrghh why do I have this talking Juliana for a cousin?I asked no one in particular.

Aha now you are talking.
We cannot risk one hundred thousand naira for nothing.
It's as if you are collecting it for free.
All you need to do for them is cooking and house chores.
You can come visit us during the weekends you know and that's it.
You will become rich before you know it and if he falls for you,O M G.. You become the wife of a millionaire then we get to call you Mrs James Alexander.

Now Juliana was really getting me angry and within a few seconds,I might pounce on her is she doesn't shut up.
Nana are you listening to me?
I was saying...
Juliana will you shut up I yelled at her.
I am sorry she said then kept quiet.

Soon enough she continued.
Nana in case he comes to pick you up and you don't want to go work for him,we could use me as an exchange for you.
I would gladly accept the job you know...
I knew she wasn't going to keep quiet for long.
I didn't expect her to.
Now she wants to test me.
I'm going with him.
No one is going to take my place I spat back in annoyance.
Woah you sound all possessive said Lisa.

There you go Juliana said as she clapped her hands.
You like him oo but you will be denying it.
Nawa for you oo it is not a sin to crush on somebody most especially if he is a hot, super cute annoying rich boss.

Now let me go and tell mummy to call him she said as she walked towards the curtain.
I began to feel all nervous and sweaty.
I hate Juliana right now.
She is actually pushing me but deep within me,I know that I want to go.
So be it I'm going.

My mum and sisters were back.
I guess they got tired of Juliana's noice so they left us in the room and went to sit outside.
Actually mum complained that the room was too hot.

Yes yes yes we called and he said he is coming right away ohh this guy is too sweet.
I wish I would call and out of nowhere someone would come running for me.
You know that's why I like joe boy.......

🎶Call on me call on me🎶
🎶 You know say I go pull up for you 🎶

Juliana sang happily as she whined her waist from one side to the other.
Silly girl Lisa whispered.
More than silly your sister is a first class mumu I replied.
Hahaha the two of us started laughing loudly just to make Juliana annoyed.

Twenty minutes later, James arrived and Juliana was already running outside.
Ohh my God she yelled as she ran into the room again.
What?I glared at her.
Why didn't you tell me he was this handsome.....Jesus Christ like this guy looks like a freaking rich model wow.
See better stop involving Jesus Christ in this matter I replied.
Nana please I beg you ehn just go and be a good girl don't screw this up Juliana said as she looked at me with pleading eyes.
This girl is stupid I thought to myself.

One more thing she said as she grabbed my hand.
What again this time?I asked.
How do I look? came her question.
Really?I asked as I began laughing at her.
Who cares about how you look?
You think this guy will notice you talk more of look at you abi?
See better take your eyes off him.
He is no match for any of us I told her then walked out of the room.

That wasn't an insult.
Trust me when I say Juliana is very beautiful.
She is slim, tall,has this beautiful glowing brown skin, cute eyes and so forth.
Sometimes I would say Juliana is far more prettier than any of us.
She just doesn't seem to see all that.
Funny, silly, annoying and yet lively.
I swear if Juliana was from a very rich family, she would be that though beautiful boss lady while her sister Lisa, would be that quiet, lovely soft lady.
She only speaks when she has to.
Two opposite sisters.

Hope you don't mind me taking away your sister from you James asked Mima and Nina who had been greening from earlier to ear.
They seemed un affected like they were not going to miss me.
I never knew they wanted to get rid of me so soon.
I know they are up to something.

No we don't mind as long as she comes to visit during weekends and as long as you buy us ice cream whenever you come visiting they both chorused as they smiled.
So their problem is ice cream.
They are trading me out because of ice cream..chai I am dead.

Ma'am what about you he asked as if he was up to something.
I don't mind as long as she goes to school came my mother's reply.
So this is what the whole drama is all about.
My sister's trading me out for ice cream,my cousin for money and my mother..... for school.
We are doing this because we love you came Juliana's voice.
Love ke?
Get out joor I shoved her off.
Couz chill it's not as if we are sending you the grave came Lisa's voice.
Lisa even you??ah am dead I said as I put my hands on my head and we all started laughing.

Alright we need to get going my family can't wait to have you back.
Thank you very much for allowing her to work for me ma'am.
I promise you won't regret it he told my mom who was all smiles.
I hate my family at this moment I thought to myself as I sat in the car not wanting to hear more of the conversation.
Soon my attention drifted to the car.. I've never been inside a big car like this.
See how the chairs are soft.
Everything neat and fancy with the car all scenting.
What's the name of this car sef cause this is not the same as tht of yesterday.

The drive had been peaceful and silent with non of us uttering a single word until he roughly marched the breaks.
What!so because I agreed to follow you, you want to use me as a burnt offering for your village people shey?I asked angrily.
Instead of answering back,he kept staring at me until I felt weak in the knees then I realized that I just finished saying rubbish to my boss.
I am sorry I muttered.
When no response came,I turned my head towards the window.

Do you know that I have been talking and talking ever since I started driving but you keep giving me this cold attitude came his voice.

I felt like saying ohh really? you deserve it but i kept my mouth shut.

Nana your such a funny girl.
One moment you are all fiesty and the next you are all innocent.
This time around he had a smile on his face and I couldn't help but stare.
It was a pure smile.
One I have never seen.
No smirk and no evil in it.
He is such a cute guy even though he has no dimples.

If you are done surveying me, tell me to continue from where I stopped came his sweet raspy soft voice again.

I ..I...I began to stammer when he spoke up.

I was saying that I'm sorry about what happened the first day we met I was drinking and all that but I promise it won't happen again.

This time he wasn't smiling nor frowning either but in his eyes lay different silent emotions that I couldn't read..... what is he thinking?
I don't know and I don't want to know but it's a lie.
I want to know everything.

Sir why do you want me back?I asked as my voice finally came back.

He looked shocked but yet answered.

I want you back because I want you to work for me.
