ALICIA
That morning was so hectic for me as I freshened for work.
Stress from yesterday caused a hard ache on my head today.
I gotta manage though. Cause it’s work today and I wouldn’t want to get on the Boss’s Bad book.
I readied myself that morning with just one thing registered on my mind. *Avoid David at all cost.
I’m still embarrassed about yesterday and I think it’s gonna take time for that feeling to wash off.
“I’m off to work Nora!” I shouted from the dinning as I drank just the tea leaving the scrambled eggs and bread untouched.
“Just shut the door behind you” she replied back from the room.
It’s Monday. And workday too. Isn’t she supposed to be at work today?
“Nora it’s Monday”
“Yeah I know. It’s a day off for me. So I’m gonna rest a bit” she shouted a reply.
A day off! I think I’d need it one of these days.
I smacked my lips together to blend my lipstick before picking my bag up.
I walked over to the door, about to open it but it suddenly opened from the outside and. .
“David” I gasped as my heart fluttered at the sight before me.
He is at the door holding flowers.
OMG! Are those daisies? I love daisies! How did he know my favorite?
“What are you doing here?” I spoke out trying to look tough.
“Alicia please just hear me out” he pleaded. I rolled my eyes like I wasn’t interested in whatever he wanted to say.
But Dmm!!!!
Seeing him here alone is making me float in air already. But I don’t have to show it.
Looking tough and angry will do the job.
“If you’re here to talk about what your kids did to me please. David just go… I want to hear none of it”
I cut into his words. Forcing myself outside as I pushed him slightly away from the door.
“We are so sorry okay. Please Alicia my kids are deeply sorry about what they did and they’ll love to apologise. If only you give them a chance”
For real?
I almost gasped in suprise! They want to apologise to me.
I stared at David in doubt.
“Alicia believe me okay. They forfeited school today just to show you how serious they are. If you’ll just follow me home, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Come home with me so they can do the needful”
He spoke out all of a sudden, causing me to almost choke at my own breathe.
“There’s no way I’m going to your house” I admitted spitefully to his face.
What the hell? No fucking way?
Go there and get embarrassed again?
Nah. I’d take my chances.
“Like I said Alicia. They are really sorry and they won’t do anything nasty to you again. Not after they have promised not to”
” Hmm” I stared at him in doubt. I’m still not sure about this.
What if I go there and they do something more terrible and humiliating to me? How do I cope with that?
Kids can be deceitful sometimes. What if they’re planning something bigger this time around?
Geez! I can’t go with him. I’m definitely not sure if he’s telling the truth… Or Maybe he’s just trying to manipulate me to his house when the kids are far from sorry.
“I’m not going anywhere with you”… I finally spoke out.
DAVID
“Please Alicia” I pleased once more.
I’m really sorry about yesterday and I’d love it if my kids make it up to her. I know I’m definitely lying about my kids being sorry.
But what else can I do?
I just have to make everything look so right to her so she’d go with me.
“I know we’re almost late for work and we can’t make it now. But at least, have dinner with us”
I don’t know why I’m so obsessed begging her. But I just want to make things right.
“Dinner?”
“Yes please. Dinner with the kids”
She breathe out heavily before letting the answer from her lips
“Okay. Fine. Dinner at your place”
“Thanks. I’ll drive you there once we round up with work today.” I smiled brightly
“Besides, it’s for you”
I handed the flowers to her and she pouted in a cute way before taking it from my hand.
“Daisies! It’s my favorite”
“I’m glad you like it”
All thanks to mark tho.
“I’ll drive you to work Alicia”
I gestured as I briskly walked over to my car… With her behind.
