We went inside, Sonia was already asleep while Olivia was still watching the movie. She woke Sonia up carrying her upstairs while I and Olivia followed her. She prepared their bath, brought out their pajamas and place them on their bed respectively.
She bathed Sonia after which I helped Olivia with her bath. After they were dressed up, Mrs Gerald went somewhere probably to get something and she's taking a lot of time bringing it. I decided to tuck them myself.
I lay Sonia on her bed while Olivia sat on hers. They both share the same room. I wanted to off the lights but a voice said to leave it, I looked back, she was at the door flame
"They don't like the room dark" I heard Lisa say
Oh.... I don't like the room dark as well" I said which is true
"Really......" Sonia asked
"Yeah.....so good night then
"Tell us a story" Sonia said
"Um..... I don't know any story I said
"About a prince and princess" Olivia said this time helping me
Don't worry" Lisa says looking at me. Sonia why don't I do the telling? She asked her which she disagree
I sat there looking at their faces who were eagerly waiting for my story and some how I see myself not wanting to disappoint them so I agreed.
I told them a story about a princess who was locked in a tower by a wicked old woman but was saved by a prince who married her afterwards and they live happily ever after. They were fast asleep when I was through with the story.
"I think they are good" she said walking closer to them. "You should probably go now...."
Yeah.... " I said
She kissed them on their forehead, I didn't know what prompted me to do it but I did exactly what she did, I kissed them too.
"I'm sorry", I didn't know why I was apologising but I said it anyway
You should go to bed it's late she said dismissing me
Yeah um..... good night I said leaving to my room
She didn't even reply, she just gave a slight nod as I left for my room. What a rude beautiful woman. I got inside my room waiting to hear her footsteps back to her room but I didn't so I changed my clothes, putting an oversized shirt and a pair of socks before laying on my bed. If you are wondering what am wearing down, it was a pair of shorts.
I lay there thinking of how my life would have been if she hadn't betrayed me. How someone's life could change over a blink of an eye. One moment you are all happy doing great and the next you are all miserable.
I thought I had noise down the hall so I got out of my bed to check it. I regretted doing so when I knew the reason
"You're going without saying goodbye to them!" I heard a Lisa probably screaming at her husband
"Come on, I told you am gonna call them on the phone
"On the phone, Jesus Christ what the fuck is wrong with you.....you are going away for half a year and you ain't saying goodbye to your kids"
"Well I'm running late, I'm going to miss my flight" the man argued
"Good, that's great" the woman said sarcastically..... Come on go cause when they wake up and ask of you I'm going to say to them
"Well your dad traveled but he will call you guys when he lands and he's gonna stay half a year
"Well what do you want me to do huh, I'm doing all these for us can't you understand that" the man said pissing the woman off
"Understand?, All you ever care about is you, we didn't ask for this, all we ever wanted is your presence in there life"
"My ride is here.... I have to go now but I promise I will call them alright?"
"Fine , is not like you are ever going to change your mind" Lisa said
"I love you and the girls" the man said looking at his wife who was not pleased with him
"I can see that, love you too" she said though I can't say if they meant it
They shared a brief kiss, I can't even call that a kiss before he left with his box closing the door
I looked at her, I didn't know what to do or even say so I slipped back inside my room closing the door quietly.
The man didn't seem like an asshole before when we first meet, who could do that to those beautiful kids that are sleeping soundly in there room.
I lay on my bed thinking of what tomorrow will bring and how the girls will take the news. And especially the woman who is going to explain everything to a three and six years old girls. That will really be a tough job to do I thought before I unknowly give in to darkness.
