“Where are we going?” Aaron sneered after what he described to be the most painful three minutes of his life.“Fix your tone, boy.” Mr. Steele said, casually flipping through a newspaper. “I hear you’ve been busy lately.” Aaron was baffled at the nerve of his father. “Apparently not busy enough to stop you from showing up in my life whenever you please.” He seethed, “Driver, stop the car.” “Keep going.” The elder Steele instructed, as they continued the journey. “You’ve always been the impatient one. Seeing you don’t have time to see your father, I figured I’d come have lunch with you.” “It’s so funny hearing you address me like that. Keep the theatrics for an audience, there’s no one here.” He snapped and his father laughed.“I see myself in you. A younger version of myself. All that anger gave me the tenacity, but careful articulation gave me the wealth I have today. A combination you refuse to possess.” “Glad I disappointed your expectations of me, I reckon Moses is filling tha

Deloise watched her mother throw down her table, eyes ablaze. “Is this what you’ve been up to all along?” she broke into a cynical laugh, “Someone tell me this is a joke!” Esther threw her arms as she looked round the room. No one moved. “I’m so sorry, mom. I just...I-I got an opportunity and I couldn’t sit still,” she reached for her mother’s hand, “You said I should be happy, you wanted me to be successful. I’m both, can’t you see?” She gulped, searching her mother’s eyes.What she saw stomped on the little hope she held out, “No child of mine will be an actress, I thought we settled this? Why would you ruin your life like this?” “I’m not ruining my life! You are ruining my life with your unrealistic hopes of what I will become. I am no lawyer, mom! Look at me! I’m an actress, I managed to make it through the odds..” her voice broke towards the end of her sentence. “why can’t you just support me?”“You are no daughter of mine.”Her heart fell, “What do you mean?”“Exactly what yo

"You look awful." Karen poured out two cups of tea and Esther took one."Gee..thanks." she replied after taking a sip. "I'm serious. You look so terrible, maybe you should cancel the event and have some rest. I could handle it, you don't need to be present.""Of course I need to be present. It's my first job with such a high profile event and if it means I get to sit beside my cake, and smile while you do the work, so be it.""True, but your body is saying something else. I still can't get used to seeing you in pain over the pink lady."Esther attempted a smile that ended up a gnash. Yeah, she was in pain."I've taken something. Hopefully, before the evening, I'll feel better enough to do my job."Karen tutted and picked up her phone. Her friend's eyes narrowed."What are you doing?""I think the question should be who am I calling."A groan left Esther as she got up, tired of her tea at this point. "Don't even think about it." "Too late." Karen placed her phone by her ears and imme

“What’s got your panties in a twist?” Elvis brought back the wandering mind of Daniel. “And why isn’t she here already? I paid quite a large sum getting her to be one of the caterers to this event.”“She should be here anytime soon.” He didn’t spare him a glance, too occupied with watching out for when they finally arrived. Elvis snorted, “Don’t be a killjoy and put a call across to her.” with a low voice, he added, “You look like a creep with that desperation written all over your face.” “I’m two seconds away from decking the shit out of you. Where’s your wife?” “None of your business, you should be more worried about when your lady will show up.” he took a glance at his watch, “for someone who has a job to do, this is a bit too late.” “Tell me something I don’t know,” he gritted, fighting the urge to put another call across to them.Elvis brought out his phone, “Since you can’t find the guts, I’ll do it for you.” Daniel’s eyes widened as he dialed a number.“How the fuck did you

Karen and Esther arrived just in time. Elvis saw them first, handing over slices of cake to the waiters who took them round to interested persons. “I hope they like it..” Esther wrapped her arms around her body, “There’s enough desert to last a lifetime.” she observed, looking around. “There you are! Esther I presume." Elvis said when he got to earshot.“Yeah...?” she answered, unsure of what was going on. “Good to see you, come along now, we’ve been waiting for quite a long time.” Elvis dragged her towards the VIP area with a smug on his face. He couldn’t wait to see the look on his friend’s face after seeing them together. Daniel and his family were seated together, waiting for him to get the ‘drink’ he needed. “We’re here.” He announced to them, then to Esther, he urged, “Don’t be shy, have a seat.” Daniel’s eyes connected with Esther and he couldn’t make out words to describe what he saw. His eyes roamed through her form, looking for signs of imperfection to no avail. She wa

“She isn’t picking up,” Esther groaned, having called Karen a total hundred times. “She was my ride here, how could she do this?” “Maybe she had a little bit of an emergency.” Daniel suggested, “How do I get home? It’s already late, I can’t believe she did this.”“If it’s any consolation, I was abandoned here too.” he shrugged, “Let's get a taxi and we’ll go from there.”Esther nodded and he got to work on it. Within thirty minutes, they were behind a taxi headed to her place. Throughout the ride, Esther’s mind was all over the place. She couldn’t un-see how broken Elvis seemed when his wife walked away. How Karen bowed her head in shame, looking like a deer in headlights. She ached to know the story behind it but with miles separating them, she couldn’t get home fast enough. Weird sounds erupted from the engine and the car slowed to a stop.“Not again..” she muttered, and they watched the driver walk out the car to check his vehicle. All said and done, they were stranded with no

“Gran?!” Aaron put off his shoes at the door, Deloise did the same. “I’m here! And I brought a guest!” “Keep your voice down, will you? Are you trying to make me deaf, boy?” Mrs. Black came out of the hallway, clad in a Grey dress, white socks and supporting her steps with a walking stick. “Ma!” Deloise watched his smile transform into a grin. He rushed towards her and enveloped her in a hug. “Easy,” Mrs Black said between laughs, “Who do we have here?” her eyes narrowed at Deloise.“Meet Deloise, My girlfriend.” His voice was smooth and succulent. “She got a deal so I brought her here to celebrate.” “Good day ma’am,” she greeted politely, “It’s such a pleasure to meet you, I hope you are doing well.” “Nonsense! We hug in this family, don’t be shy, bring it in.” Deloise smiled at the warm welcome and joined what could best be described as a group hug. It got a bit too tight, but she wasn't complaining.The thrio disengaged, and went into the kitchen at Mrs Blacks’ instruction.

Esther was worried about Karen. For the past week, she hadn’t set eyes or spoken to her. It seemed like she disappeared off the face of the earth - herself and her daughter. As a result, she couldn’t find it within herself to pick the calls of her daughter for fear she might have questions she didn’t have answers to.The entire week was a torment. Living alone and void of human contact, she naturally gravitated towards the only available option. This time around, Daniel was persistent. He showed up time and time again despite her outright hostility towards him. After that night, they came to a silent agreement never to dig into the matters of their past. Nothing good seemed to come out of it. Today, she was worried for an entire other reason. Daniel had returned to his role as a friend and in that position, demanded for what he described as a friendly day out. Something they both knew was an act to cover the real deal but no one cared enough to point that out. Or they didn’t wan
