Saying I’m embarrassed right now is a total understatement. I don’t even know how to describe how I feel now.

Noel is so annoying!

How could he say that? In present of a lady at that.

What if she was my crush? That’s how he would have bore me with shame.
Does it mean he tasted my socks?

I won’t be surprised. He’s a foodie.. he has always been one ever since a baby.

While still a baby, he would chew on his diapers and lick up his cream…

I wonder what it tasted like in his mouth. Strawberries?

And to think my socks wasn’t left out!

Noeeeellll!!!!.

I silently cried within me as I pitied myself.. I couldn’t help but wonder what Rosiana thought about it.

If I’m ever chanced to take my kids out on a public meeting, I’m gonna stitch up their mouths with a hard glue..
So when janietta sees me with a lady, or even talking with other ladies, she won’t freak out and say annoying things to their face.

And Noel, so he won’t eat up the party and make fun of how my socks taste.

As for Kayla, I won’t just stitch her mouth, I will tie her to a chair.. so she won’t move an inch from my sight or wander about. Cause my baby Kayla is a wanderer.

There was a time I took my kids out for shopping. While talking to the cashier, Kayla, unknowingly to me wandered out of my sight.

I didn’t even realize until I was done.

Janietta and Noel were busy arguing and they too didn’t notice.

I searched round the store for hours and almost went mad cause I couldn’t find Kay. I felt like I’ve disappointed my late wife Maria who I made a promise to before her death that I would always look out for our kids.

I contacted the police and asked few customers in panic.

I searched round like a lunatic until I finally found her close to the waste bin by the side of the mall… Pouring some dirty into the dirt bin.

When asked what she was doing and why did she leave my side.

She opened her small mouth just to say..

‘ mommy always said we should be neat and never stay in a Dirty place in order not to fall sick.. so the mall was pretty dirty and I had to pick round”
She spoke out looking so innocent..

Can you seriously imagine? Pick Round a mall??
And I’ve been looking for her like a lunatic.. I even called the police.

“You will never frustrate me Kayla”
I stared at her not knowing if I should cry or laugh at her behavior..

She takes this as a joke.

I compensated the police before they left for their station.

The salesman in charge of the mall felt pleased at my daughter’s sweet nature and he gave her a free toy.

Salesman doesn’t know giving her a toy would only encourage her to do more.

My Kayla can sometimes be unpredictable. And she remind me so much of my late wife. Mariah.
••••••

I finally drove into my compound and slowly parked at the side garage.

My kids immediately climbed out in excitement and ran inside. Yes, they’ve got their own keys.. just Incase.

Rosiana came down after me and from the looks in her eyes, something tells me she’s definitely Surprised to see such a magnificent building.

“Please come in” I gestured and she nodded with a smile. Following from behind.

“Welcome to my home Rosiana” I left her inside and she slightly parted her lips as a small gasped escaped it.

“Oh my… So beautiful” she stared round In amazement.

“Thanks. Feel free..” I smiled staring at her.

Oh that reminds me!. Her clothes.

Shes still in dirt. .. I don’t have time to go shopping.

“Mr David please I can’t cook in this outfit..” she stated the obvious.

“Yeah… Was actually thinking about that. Guess you need to change into something.. come with me to the guest room.”

She nodded and followed behind.
I walked her into one of the guest rooms..

“In there, we have the shower. Make use of it… But before you’ll proceed with that, I’ll go get a dress”

I walked out of the room and headed straight to mine. Mariah’s clothes will definitely suite her. I thought within as I searched on her belongings.

Her Unique scent filled my nostrils and I suddenly began to miss her again.

I picked out a free sun-dress and decided to give her that.

I walked back to the guest room and handed it to her.

“Thanks Alot” she smiled, taking it from me.

“When you’re done with yourself. Just tell one of the kids to show you to the kitchen. There are varieties of uncooked foods.. in case you find difficulty in what to prepare, just ask Noel what he’ll like for lunch.. he’ll gladly tell you”

I cackled a little and she nodded with another bright smile.

“I’ll be back shortly.” I finally said before walking out.

With Rosiana in the kitchen today, I feel a little bit relieved from stress.

???? ROSIANA ????

I’ve never been to a house this big and beautiful before. I marveled as I washed myself up in the bathroom.. letting the water Cascade Through my body.

I made sure not to spend too much time in the bathroom cause I still have to make lunch.

I dry cleaned myself with a new towel which was on the bed. I let my hair slip down my shoulders as I put on the sun-dress.

I stared at myself on the reflecting mirror and WOW. This looks so good on me.

I walked out and saw the kids playing at the sitting. They’ve changed into something else already and my guess is, they’ve had their bathe too.

I walked over to where they were and cleared my throat..

“Can someone please show me to the kitchen..” I stared at their faces.

“Is that my mom’s dress you’re putting on??” Janietta stared at me with a shock-filled eyes.

Her mom’s?

“Oh my God I didn’t Know . Your dad gave it to me..”

How could David give me his wife’s dress?

“Well now you know. It’s my mom’s dress and it doesn’t belong to you..”

She spoke out with a straight face.

Oh hell! I felt a little embarrassed.

“But it’s fits her… And she looks pretty on it..'” Kayla’s voice so tiny and meek.

“Didn’t you notice she had stains on her own dress? What were you expecting her to put on?… Your clothes?”
Noel gave out a sarcastic laugh.

“Duh.. she should have brought hers..” Janie huffed.

“You complain too much janietta. The dress fits her and she looks so good on it.
Don’t you know people have to look good before cooking… So the food can taste really really good too.

Unlike Dad who doesn’t mind putting on just towel to prepare a meal..”
Noel added. Looking so serious.

Hell No!???? A towel? Who does that?

“… And his food tastes just like his appearance”..
He rolled out from his mouth.

This is a very tough son for David!
I wish he were here.. but thank God he isn’t.. if not, Noel is as good as a dead meat.????

Noel came forward and suddenly stopped before me.. cleared off his throat.

“Most beautiful Mi-lady. Hope you don’t mind me taking you to the kitchen… Cause I’m starving” he spoke out in a Spanish accent stretching out his little hand to me which made him look so funny.

“No Mister…. I certainly don’t” I giggled alittle. Replying back with a Spanish accent too. I placed my hand on his and courtsied , raising my gown a little at the side.. as I bowed my head alongside.

And then, he led me straight to the kitchen.. our hands still together..
With Kayla holding my dress as she followed behind.
