Chapter Four

Olivia Keller

Detention ended well surprisingly, I guess Jamaal was still shocked with the fact that I was going to be his tutor. He didn't say much, he was quiet through out. 

I was the only one who could determine if he would continue being the captain of the football team, his chance of playing in this season match was in my hands. I scoffed as I opened the door to my house, who would have ever thought things would turn out this way.

Why would I want to tutor Jamaal Amir Haidar, I tried thinking of three reasons. But I couldn't think of just one. I stepped into the sitting room, ignoring the pair of strange boots outside the door.

My eyes widened as I watched what was happening before me, my mum was making out with a man, who had her pinned against the wall. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I blinked my eyes repeatedly, but I was still seeing them.

It was clearly obvious they were both engrossed with what they were doing, then the next thing that happened made me want to puke, they began to pull off clothes, I couldn't believe the so called Detective Keller, my mum was about to get it in. I know it's been years since dad died of drug overdose, we still have a lot of debts to pay off, coupled with the bills that never stops increasing day by day. 

"Mum!" I yelled, tightening my fists in anger.

She immediately pushed the man away, and began to put her clothes in order.

"Liv baby it's not what you think." She said, biting her swollen lips.

I scoffed loudly, does she think I am a child, I saw what just happened, it happened right before my eyes.

I turned around to face the man I haven't yet recognized. I gasped, covering my mouth with my hands. 

Detective Arnold, her boss. The head of her team. My gaze roved over his hunk body, detective Arnold was an eye candy, muscularly build with muscles in the right place. His black hair was rough, making it obvious it has been pulled and twisted in different ways during their all most sex session.

I couldn't help but wonder when this has been going on. 

"When did you start fu*cking your boss mum? When did you start fucking this asshole?" I whispered yelled.

I can't believe she had the time to get laid, but didn't even have anytime for me.

"Watch your words, young lady. I didn't train you to be disrespectful to your elders." She chided.

"Now apologize to detective Arnold. Right now Olivia Margaret Keller! I mean it." She yelled out loud.

I scoffed loudly, tucking my hair behind my hair, my gaze roved over her, the ugly hickeys splattered on her and leading to her chest region. So much of dreaming I was going to tell her about the contract I got from Goodnovel writing platform, so much of hoping to stay up late to share the good news with her.

I felt so disappointed and a little bit betrayed.

"Olivia!" She yelled again, I immediately turned around to face detective Arnold, whose neck already turned red with embarrassment. I was still a little bit shocked, this man would really want to get down with my mum. Yuck! Eeew! So disgusting.

I sighed heavily, inhaling a deep breath.

"I'm sorry detective Arnold, I apologise for entering my house and for seeing you almost naked trying to get into my mum's pants. I apologise, it was my fault you were not successful." I said, smirking as I watched my mum's face widened.

"Olivia! You are grounded. I'm seizing your phone, your laptop and you are not allowed to go anywhere after school. I want you straight home." Mum, replied.

"Not typical of you Detective Keller, as you please." I said, trying to fight back the tears threatening to fall. A drop rolled down to my cheeks and dropped to the floor.

I knew I was being rude to my mum but I couldn't help it, someone was about to take the place of my father. My father wasn't a drug addict even though people think he was, but that didn't stop him from loving me or stopped me from loving him, we were both like two peas in a pod. Until he died of overdose, I believe someone framed his death.

The surprise look on mum's face was clearly obvious, she was shocked I called her detective Keller instead of mum.

I left the sitting room, ignoring her call. I stepped into my room. Slamming my door shut. 

I sank my teeth into my lips as I grabbed my laptop from the bed, I read through the contract I was offered, signed and downloaded a copy of it.

I could feel within me, something great was going to come out of this, I've never thought of earning through my writing but I hope this would work out more than I expect.

"Olivia," my mum called out knocking loudly on my door. 

I ignored her totally, trying not to think of what I just saw. Tomorrow was going to be a long day, my first day of tutoring Jamaal Amir Haidar. My bully, I pinched the bridge of my nose as I logged into my Face-book account. 

I immediately joined the Goodnovel writers and readers the editors told me about, I was immediately accepted, I smiled as I went through all the posts. 

The writers on the group seem really friendly, they were currently talking about a writer who had three thousand plus chapters.

"Oh my goodness!" I exclaimed loudly, I immediately jotted the title and username of the writer. I'm so going to check him out, three thousand plus chapters was a lot. 

I decided to post something, I hurriedly typed on my keyboard.

Hi guys, I'm new here. You can call me Itchy_fingers

I crossed my fingers, holding my breath as I waited for their responses. 

Josh: Hi there, welcome on board.

Carol: Welcome 💗

Mara: Hiya, welcome to Goodnovel writers highland fellow writer.

My face brightened up, as the notifications kept popping in. This is the only heartfelt welcome I've ever gotten. It was like I just got a new home, a new family. I didn't feel out of place. I had to pinch myself twice to make sure I wasn't daydreaming.
