Terrance's POV

I wore my clothes right after I finnished drying myself and went downstairs to eat. The aroma of cornmeal mush could be smelt at a distance, increasing the rumbling of my stomach.

I sat patiently at the dinning hall, waiting for my food to be served. Dad had gone on a business trip and I didn't know when he'll be back so that explains why I was sitting alone.

Tired of waiting, I walked into the kitchen. Esher was standing on a stool and she was trying to reach for something on the upper shelf.

I rolled my eyes and moved to stand an inch away from her and I was about to tell her not to turn but shit, it didn't happen.

She turned around due to shock since she gasped. I had no choice but to wrap my arm around her small waist or else she would have fallen in a slanted position.

"Fuck." I muttered under my breath when her bust crashed against chest and her hands rested on my shoulders whiles her legs fell in between mine.

To save us from blushing further, I took whatever she was trying to take, carried her slightly onto her feet and gave her whatever she was trying to reach.

She had dark circles under her black eyes and I wondered why she wouldn't have a good sleep, I mean she eats a lot.

But why would I care?

All I care about is finding a way to make her mad, make her feel how frustrated she makes me but fuck, it's doesn't happen.

I need to try harder.

"Make me an apple juice right now." I ordered. A small part of expected her to argue but she nodded and opened the fridge and brought out the apple.

She's quite quiet today..what happened?

I watched her every move as she blended it in the fruit mixer and poured it into a glass, placed it on a tray and gave it to me. I wondered why she didn't take it and drink it.

Has she poisoned me?

I took the glass and drank it looking keenly at her till she rolled her eyes.

"Dude, I didn't out poison in your drink. You were here the whole time so stop giving me that weird look." She informed.

Once an Esther, always an Esther.

"Are you okay though?" I asked.

"Why wouldn't I be?"  She asked.

"You should feel good I'm asking you." I sipped.

"Well, I could say same for me minding you." Zhe grinned and I clenched my jaw.

"Bitch." He muttered and she sighed.

"You can't do anything about it." She giggled and I rolled my eyes again and walked out of the kitchen.

***

I and the guys moved out of the hall for lunch and saw Esther laying the table .

"Guys, have your seats, I'll get your meal.'' She smiled sweetly and Silas winked at her making me groan. When she turned to leave, I caught him staring at her rear.

"Dude are you serious?" I whispered at him.

"What? She's hot okay?" He informed.

Like I had no idea.

She left and we all took our seats chatting about random stuff. "Man, don't you think Esther's friends are cool? Just like her?" Nigel asked and they murmured in agreement.

"Dude, you should encourage Esher to bring them over often." Shark suggested and I groaned again.

"I really like Nina." Hey added slightly blushing and I raised a brow at him.

"Don't tell me you're gonna be a lovestruck idiot." I scoffed.

"What's wrong with being lovestruck?" He asked.

When that person you love, leaves you forever.

"I have a feeling she's gonna break your heart." I discouraged.

"I'm a ladies man." He chuckled. "I've had much encounter with women than you." He smirked.

"That's because I drive those harlots away. They're too clingy." I stated.

"I think Esther us different." Silas smiled.

"Dude?" I rose a brow.

"What's your issue?" He asked.

"A maid? Seriously?" I chuckled.

"She's more than that. She's just too amazing." He said dreamily and I clenched my jaw.

"Am I right T?" He asked.

"Fuck off." I sighed.

"Ah here comes sweet cheeks." Silas wriggled his brows and I glared secretly at him. Esher placed the plate at the centre of the table and she began to dish it out.

"Guys.." She said when she was dishing out Nigel's food.

"I'm not that good in cooking." She sighed when she served Sharderaque. I beg to differ.

"So if you get an upset tummy,.." She scrunch her brows when she gave Silas his food.

"You die, that's it." She said as she served me and looked at me.

We, except me, gaped at her whiles I gave her a deadpan look.

"I'm just kidding!" She giggled and the rest laughed with her.

"Come on Terrance." She rolled her eyes.

"Bon Apetìt." She wished and Silas smirked.

"She can speak French too." He remarked.

"Actually my friend," She said holding his shoulder and I clenched my jaw.

Ok why am I feeling mad?

"That's the only French I know." She tittered. When she turned to leave, Silas stopped her by calling her name

"Hm?" She raised her brows.

"Where are you going? Come sit with us." He suggested and she smiled sadly.

"I've got work to do so I can't join and even if I didn't have any work, I wouldn't be allowed to join you guys" She reasoned.

"So unfortunate." Shark muffled.

"Anyway do you like your meal?" She asked with expectation laced on her beau-

Face, on her face.

"Marvellous." Nigel moaned.

"Superb." Silas praised.

"One in a million." Sharderaque muffled and they looked at me.

''What? " I asked enjoying my food.

"Dude say something." Silas said in a low tone.

"Something." I said and they slapped their foreheads.

"No man, He means say something about the food you're eating." Nigel tapped his palm.

"Could have been better." I lied and shrugged and they all scoffed. I glanced at Esther who had a careless look before she left singing.

"Dude that was bad." Shark said looking disappointed.

"You mean the food?" I smirked.

"No you dimwit! What you said was bad." Silas blamed and it was my turn to scoff.

"You guys asked me to say something and I said it, what more?" I asked trying to hide how guilty I felt for lying. Nigel rubbed his glabella whiles the others shook their head and continued eating.

"Yo Esty!" Silas called and she came out with her mouth stuffed.

"Huh?" She muffled.

"First guy to finish eating gets a peck on their cheek." He said ans the others agreed except me.

"OH." She giggled.

And for some reason, I was secretly eating in large amounts.

***
"Mommy, Mommy I'm back!" I yelled as I rushed into the house and the guards closed the door.

"Easy my prince." She chuckled and I hugged her waist.

"How was school?" She asked holding my hands as she took me to the hall.

"School was bad but good!" I chirped and she chuckled again as she began to undress me.

"Mommy I'm hungry." I whined.

"One minute." She smiled sweetly and left me in the hall with just me in my boxers and singlet. She came back after a minute with a plate of chicken nuggets and began to feet me with it,

"Mommy, it's amazing!" I muffled and she brushed my hair from my face. After I finnished, she bathed me and made me wear my Pyjamas as we sat in the hall waiting for daddy.

"My prince, do you know how much your mommy loves you?" She asked patting my head and I looked into her blue eyes which were glowing with life and hope.

"I love and cherish you with all my heart, just like your father does." She informed framing my face.

"Yay!" I squealed and hugged my most favourite person in the world but little did I know was that she wouldn't last forever.
