Peepssssss. Hellooooo, did you miss me??. I'm sorry for not posting for a really long time. I got into the university and things have not been easy, I haven't even opened a novel in a long time 😭😭. But this chapter is going to make you love Imani, and I tried a new style of writing also. Decided to add a little Sophie Kinsella vibe into Trina's life and I think I like what I did. So I want you all to sit back, take some cake and ice cream,put off the light, meet your babe and read and fall in love.
I give you Chapter Twenty one

I'm perfectly fine.

I've been trying to make that clear to these people but it seems everybody in this house has something stuck in their ears cause I keep telling them that I'm fine and they don't listen to me.

Okay fine, I might've cried throughout the night and a little this morning but I'm over it already don't they see that?.
Imani ditched me yesterday, even though he said he had something important come up and that important thing happened to be a painting on a wall, I told them it wasn't his fault and he was rushed to do so but they know I'm just trying to cover up for him.

They know I'm bearing everything inside and i just don't want to burst out in front of them. Well that's what I do, I keep it all in so they won't see me break, and now I'm trying to do the exact same thing but they won't let me breatheeeee

I haven't thought about Imani in the past hour and I am perfectly fine and able to go to work today, I planned to take a day out of my vacation days at the office so I could spend some alone time with Imani.

Well that was if he had shown up with a really lovely gift that'll make me tear up and my mum and dad will give him the ring my dad used to propose to my mum and his dad and his dad's dad and his dad's dad's dad.
But that's not going to happen because Mr Imani didn't show up last night and worst news is that he stood me up just to paint a wall with his buddy

No! I'm going to suck it up, go to work and forget about everything. Maybe I'll have my hair done by Amanda also, she does owe me a birthday present.

"Trina honey do you want some left over cake? You can have that with ice cream, I'll pop open our old CD box and we can maybe binge watch an old series?" My mum asks standing at the entrance of my room.

"No Mum, I'm fine. I'll soon be on my way to work." I say pretending to fold my clothes.

I never fold my clothes, it's like so slow and orderly what's the point of doing it if I'm going to just wear it and throw it in a basket over and over. Mum obviously knows I'm faking because everyone knows how much I hate folding laundry, it's just too stressful.

"Oh...do you need help with that?" She points at the cloths I'm folding. Well the clothes I'm doing an awful job at folding.

"Mum I can do it myself okay?"
"You know what maybe you could help me finish up, I'm late for work anyway." I say grabbing my purse.

"Why bother going then? You're already late and your boss is still going to take today as a vacation day even if you go. Just stay here and have fun with me...you need rest , especially after what happened yesterday night..."

"Obviously you think this is about yesterday night. I'm fine mum! I am totally okay and fine and I don't need you running after me checking to see if I'm okay because it's getting irritating."

"You might be in a phase right now but you do not speak to me in that manner young woman." She says her Voice stern but I know there's a little care in that tone.
