Sitting down with the surfacing headache due to how long I cried I looked at myself in the floor length mirror and noticed how my eyes were were swollen and my face puffed due to how much and long I cried.
Then I chuckled.
Natalina? Shaking my head at the thought I went back to focusing on my breathing.
And that was most about it before I picked up my phone and decided to videocally my mother.
It was time for me to see my sunshine and right when the phone was picked up I noticed him eating a bowl of fruits.
My heart melted right there.
"Hey baby" I said with an enthusiastic voice then smiled widely at my boy who returned the same wide smile while holding his fruit in his hand.
"Mama" he said then went back to sucking his pineapple slice and I chuckled.
Looking at him I conversed with him noticing that his vocabulary had increased matter of fact I thought that my mother and in school had been teaching his how to pronounce his words.
"Come baby what was that again?" I asked with a smile after he numerously repeated the word 'pipele' and I smiled widely which he soon followed.
"Yes that's right say it again 'pineapple'" I said looking at him and he clapped after he was done eating his pineapple.
After that we talked some more and after that I talked to my mom who told me cut the bullshit and I ended up telling her everything after crying on camera.
If it was someone else I would have felt like shit afterwards but since it was my mother she did nothing short of comforting me and telling me he was lucky that I even was interested in him and that made me chuckle.
When we were done I told her to specifically not tell my father because I knew he would do something stupid like put a bullet between his eyes but that's a story for another day.
She then told me that my secret was safe and that was when I knew that I needed to call Amala.
There was no way I was going to stay in this damn place longer than necessary and that was on goodness.
"Yeah I mean I have all the time in the world so yeah." Amala answered in a small voice probably sympathising with me because of how I was talking.
She asked me if I wanted talk about it and after I said that I wasn't ready she dropped it and said that we would start our hunt tomorrow.
There was no way in hell was going to stay here for another month.
I was done.
Tired.
And heartbroken.
Hearing a knock on the door I ignored the voice that called my name behind the door until he probably ran out of breath after saying my name like a hundred times begging me to open the door.
Rolling my eyes while wiping a tear I let my head fall into my palms as I groaned.
Looking at the door I decided that it was time to shower and get my shit together.
We were going to go over the girl tomorrow and as much as my brother did not like it I was going to go after him too.
I needed the information he had so did I need the same thing from Laila.
Tomorrow is going to be a big day I said outloud with a hysteric laugh as if I just cracked a joke then dropped down the towel so that I could step in the running shower.
Nayra
I was woken up by the sounds of the birds that were chirping rather loudly and I groaned out loud.
The alarm on my phone had not gone out yet and I groaned when hunger struck me.
Well that's what you get for eating one meal a day.
When I noticed that I was naked in the bed I chuckled then grabbed the towel that I had thrown down and went to my closet.
It was eight thirty in the morning meaning that Josiah left thirty minutes ago and I breathed in as contentment filled my whole body because I knew that I was going to have one hell of a breakfast meal.
Goret was in meaning that if I asked her for breakfast she would make it for me with a smile on her face. She hated whenever I did not take breakfast which was every other day of the week since I got here but today would be an exception.
Throwing on a shirt with a happy smile I opened my door then skidded down the stairs going to ask for breakfast and I regretted it the moment I got there.
What was he doing here.
Rolling my eyes at the man that suddenly made my heart beat faster than how it was beating I closed my eyes as Goret called my name her voice full of life.
You see. This was why I was grateful that she was ever around because she seemed like nothing would ruin her mood.
The man who was occupying one of the seats on the island looked at me while holding a cup of something that I could smell as coffee.
When Goret saw my face she furrowed her eyebrows then asked me what was wrong.
Was I that obvious.
He did not say anything instead he observed me.
Asshole. The man couldn't even apologise.
I couldn't even say his name that's how much I hated him.
"What? I just woke up. Ofcourse my face is going to be like this" I said then passed past the man whose cologne surrounded the whole house.
