PIZZA GIRL
DIANA
We got to mother’s mansion and I got off the taxi staring at the house lost in thoughts.
“It’s been 15years I saw this house.” I said and Isaac looked at me holding my hand.
“It’s fine Diana.” He said and I sighted the red carpet in front of us.
“She does such big events, without her first child. Which mother does that?” I asked as we held hands stepping on the red carpet.
“Diana, that’s why she invited you here.” Isaac said trying to soothe me.
“Invited me? I am supposed to be part! I ain’t some stranger or neighbor to invite.” I said in anger and he sighed making me face him.
“Diana, if you keep thinking about this, this night, we won’t enjoy the party okay? Put all those aside please. Try not to create a scene, cos I know my warrior is boiling already.” He said and I smiled.
“Just because you are with me.” I said and he smiled planting a rapid but soft kiss on my lips.
“We are on the road.” I said looking back to see we were blocking the people coming from behind.
“Your hand.” He said raising his arm and I smiled hooking my arm with his.
We walked to the main entrance looking at the beauty of the house. I guess her new huband is as rich as she is.
Nonsense!
We got to the entrance and walked into the main mansion.
“Woah. It’s f**king large.” Isaac said and I smiled.
“Don’t let them see you are too surprise okay?” I said and he nodded trying to stop drooling.
I looked around for mother but I didn’t see her. That’s quite reliving. Seeing her now cos be a disaster.
“Isaac let’s look for somewhere to sit.” I said and he nodded. We walked down the hall and we saw some servers carrying trays of wine.
I stopped one and picked one glass, while Isaac picked another.
“You are a fast learner.” I said and he laughed like a gentle man.
“You warned me not to act to surprise, am trying so hard to flow along.” He said and I smiled.
“You are doing a great job trust me.” I said as we sighted a couch around a corner. We walked up to it and sat looking around.
“Wow this tastes nice. You should try it.” Isaac said drinking his wine.
“Take it slow.” I said and he stopped grinning.
“Sorry. It’s just too sweet.” He said and I giggled.
“I understand.” I replied sipping a little from my cup, while doing this I kept looking around and my eyes caught with mother’s son.
“Who is he?” Isaac asked when he noticed I was staring at him.
“Mother’s first son. Her second husband. That was the first child she gave him.” I said looking away and staring into the wine.
“Am so sorry Diana.” He said holding my hand.
“It’s fine. It’s just that, they look so happy and I am just here.” I said as tears threatened to fall off my eyes.
“Don’t say that Diana.” He said and I rose up my head trying to push in the tears.
“Diana.” I heard Mom call.
“Mom.” I called happily running to her as we hugged.
“You just arrived?” She asked looking at Isaac who also approached us.
“Yes mom. Hi Uncle John.” I said and he smiled.
“You look beautiful.” He said and mom nodded.
“Thanks Uncle John.” I replied happily. I was so happy they were around already.
“Why aren’t they playing any music yet?” Uncle John asked looking around.
“We are quite early. It’s 7 remember.” Mom said and I sighed.
“Am getting worked up already.” I said sighing.
“C’mon Diana. Don’t be, be happy okay? Isaac is here with you” mom said and I smiled.
“Thanks.” I said pretending to smile. I looked at my side and I saw mother’s son approach us with a large smile on his face.
“Torx.” Mom called Happily.
“Aunt.” He said hugging her,while I looked away.
“Wow you look so handsome.” Mom said and he smiled. I felt his eyes on me but I didn’t really care.
“Hi Diana.” He called and I was forced to look at him.
“Hi Torx.” I said putting on a fake smile.
“You look so beautiful.” He said.
“Thanks.” I replied and I saw him staring at Isaac who was smiling broadly.
“Torx this is my boyfriend Isaac, Isaac, Torx.” I said not knowing how to introduce him.
“Hi Torx.” Isaac said stretching his hand to him.
“Hi.” He replied not taking his hand. I looked at Isaac and he smiled withdrawing his hand.
“I have seen you before.” Torx said and I held Issac’s hand.
“He is human,you can see him anywhere. Let’s go Isaac.” I said pulling him away in anger. Why would he leave his hand hanging.
Bastard.
