* Omotara *

6:38 am.

I stared at the ceiling, contemplating on whether to get out of bed or not.
I mean, it's too early to get out of bed right?

Dazzline isn't in bed and I'm wondering where she is.

I rubbed my eyes lazily as I got out of bed and walked to out of the room in search for my sister.

She wasn't in the living room or the garden. I walked to the kitchen and saw her sitting on the kitchen island, staring into space with a mug in her hands.

"Hey!" I said and she almost jumped off the island.

"What the... You scared me!" She screamed as she put her hands in her chest.

"Why are you up early?" I asked.

"Nothing. I just couldn't sleep." She replied.

"Ohh." I noticed she was wearing a black palazzo pants and black top. "You've had your bath?"

"Yeah I have" she replied as she sipped whatever was in that mug.

"Wow. I like your style" I said sincerely. She was rocking her clothes.

"Thanks" she replied.

"What are you drinking?" I asked as I rinsed a mug and began to pour a coffee in it.

"Nescafé" she replied five minutes later.

Like seriously?

We remained silent cause she seemed to have zoned out. I poured myself another coffee.

When I grew tired of the silence, I screamed. "Earth to Dazzline!!"

"Are you fucking nuts?! Stop screaming!" She snapped.

"Don't blame me. You seemed to have zoned out" I shrugged.

"No I didn't" she defended.

"Yes you did" I argued, rolling my eyes.

"If I did, I wouldn't know you're drinking your second mug of coffee" she stared at me. "Do you believe me now?"

I stared back at her in shock. I'm pretty sure she zoned out. "How did you know?"

"I saw you take it" she shrugged.

"Ohh" I replied and turned my focus back to my coffee.

She stood up and walked away, leaving me in the kitchen, all alone.

We were at my parents house. Mommy had brought us and gave her Porsche car keys to Dazzline.

Dazzline was in my room while I was watching TV in the living room.

Mom and dad on the other hand were as nervous as hell to talk to Dazzline. She didn't even greet them when we arrived. Just walked past them like they weren't even there.

"Motara, can you go and inform your sister that it's time for lunch?" Mom asked with a pleading eyes.

"Umm, mom, you can't avoid talking to dazz for ever. Go yourself" I replied, my eyes glued to the TV. I looked at her through the corner of my eyes and she looked like she was gonna protest but she just kept quiet and walked away.

Ten minutes later, mom came down the stairs looking very happy which got me wondering what Dazzline told her.

But I could see through her. Her happiness was fake.

"Uh mom?" I called.

"Yeah?" She asked as she sat next to me.

"What happened?" I asked curiously as I sipped on my orange juice.

"She offered to cook dinner" Mom said excitedly.

I chocked on my orange juice. "W....what?" I croaked out.

Seriously mom? You gon lie to me?

"I'm equally as surprised as you are" mom replied. "I'm really starting to think maybe she doesn't hate me a d your father anymore".

"Are..." I was starting to say when Dazzline came down the staircase and walked to the entrance door.

"Where are you going?" Mom asked.

"I'm going out for lunch" she replied icily as she opened the door.

"But I just told you that lunch is ready" mom whined like a little child.

"I didn't tell you I was gonna eat that crap you made, did I?" Dazzline snapped.

"Dazzline!" Mom's voice was firm. "You're not going anywhere! You will stay in this house! You hear?!"

"Make me" Dazzline rolled her eyes as she left the house and Mom did nothing about it. Absolutely nothing!!

Mom burst into tears and I burst into laughter.

I know I sound like a wicked child right now but what can I do? Mom deserves this. She really does.

"Did you think you can lie to me and I won't know?" I laughed. "Wow mum! Keep it up!"

I laughed as I walked away.

19:48 pm.

Everyone were worried about Dazzline. She still hadn't come home. Dad had ordered his body guards to look restaurant in the estate but Dazzline was nowhere to be found. And they refused to inform Mommy.

"Nothing must happen to my daughter ohhh! Femi! Nnkan kan gbodo se omo mi ooo!!" Mom cried as she grabbed on to dad's shirt.

Dad was already frustrated by her action so much that he snapped. "Will you keep quiet woman! Give me some breathing space! She's also my daughter and I'm trying my best to find out where she is! Leave my shirt alone jare!!"

"What do you..." Mom stopped talking when the gates opened and Dazzline black Porsche drove into the compound. More like sped into it.

"Where the heck where you?, Tamara!" Dad yelled as soon as Dazzline got out of her car.

"Chill old man. I met with a friend, that's all" Dazzline replied as she walked towards us.

Did she just call dad and old man?

"And you didn't think it was okay to tell us you'll be coming home late?!" Mom screamed. "We were so worried about you!"

"Yeah right!" Dazzlime rolled her eyes. "It's not late. This is just seven fifty five".

"But still you can't..." Dad was cut short by Dazzline.

"I'm starving. What's for dinner?" She interrupted as she walked into the house.

Dazzline and I were in the kitchen, cooking rice for dinner.

Okay, Dazzline was the only one cooking. I don't know how to cook. I was just sitting there doing nothing.

I watched as she washed the rice and put it in one electric cooker and then put an empty pot on the other.

"What are you doing with the empty pot?" I asked.

"I'm gonna fry stew" she replied without looking at me. She piured the palm oil into the pot and went to the sink to rinse the eja egun.

"Ohh" I nodded as I continued staring at her. "Do you want me to help you with something?"

She turned and stared at me in shock like she couldnt believe i just offered to help.

"Actually, yes" she replied when she found her voice. "I'll need you to help me with the plantains"

"Okay. How many?" I asked.

"Six" she replied and went back to what she was rinsing.

She poured the eja egun into the pot and a few minutes later, added fresh pepper.

The aroma was soo nice that I instantly began to wish I could cook like her.

We were all seating by the dining table with Dazzline serving us a meal of Rice, fried stew, eja egun, fried chicken, fried plantains, salad and hot dogs.

Yes, that was what Dazzline decided to make for dinner.

Mom blessed the food and we began to eat.

"Olorun!!" Dad exclaimed startling everyone. "Ta lo se ounje yii?" He asked meaning who cooked this food?

"Dazzline" I replied.

"This food is delicious! You take after your mother" dad said and Dazzline went stiff.

"I'm so..." Dad didn't even complete his sentence before Dazzline took her food and left the dining room.

The rest of dinner was spent in silence.
