?Mig’s POV?
“What !!” We both exclaimed at the sight in front of us.
“Fleur” We said before bursting out laughing.
On the couch is Fleur with half of her face covered in paint,a small piece of paper on her chin,half of her hair is also soaked with paint…She pouted her lips with a frown looking so funny and i can’t help but laugh again.
“Fleur what’s wrong ?” Elva asked.
“We were free at work so i was taking a nap,i woke up to find myself like this,with the children all around me smearing more paints on my face and head” Fleur narrated and i laughed once more.
“It took the last breath in me not to spank them,the doctor had to allow me to come home,he promised to replace Mrs Morgan,the woman who looks after them, she’s on maternity leave” Fleur explained.
“Really ?” Elva asked.
“Yes”
“You mean..The doctor is in search of who will replace Miss Morgan till she’s back from maternity leave?” Elva asked and Fleur nodded.
“Please i would like to apply for it,i want to replace Miss Morgan” Elva said and Fleur and i glanced at eachother.
“No Elva,you don’t have to work,we will provide everything you need” Fleur said and i nodded in agreement.
“It’s actually not that..I don’t just like how i sit idle all day,i also want to work and burn some calories,Fleur please just understand” She pleaded and i heaved a sigh.
Fleur sent me a look and i motioned for her to accept,we should allow her to work if she wants to…just that i’m just gonna miss her presence in the house.
“Ok Elva, i’m gonna inform Doc. Steph once i get to the hospital that i have a replacement for Mrs Morgan” Fleur said.
“Thanks so much Fleur” Elva said happily.
Does she really want to go out to work that bad?
Is she probably trying to avoid me?..
Could she have found out he finds her attractive.
Who wouldn’t find her attractive?
She’s beautiful,no guy will come across her without sparing her a second glance.
She makes my blood hot anytime she’s around me and her smiles sends butterflies down my spine.
The pink leggings she wore flaunted her full curves and i noticed how the guys kept staring at her in the grocery store…I had felt like punching their faces but that would be insane of me.
“Fleur you have to wash your hair and face before the paint sticks completely to your hair and skin” Elva said.
“I’ve tried that but it isn’t working…The paints aren’t peeling off..Is this how my face is gonna be? Is this how half of my hair is gonna get stuck in paint?” Fleur said and started sobbing.
“Come-on Fleur” I said cleaning her tears.
“What did you use in washing it?” Elva asked.
“Water. I rinsed my hair and face with water but the damn paint wouldn’t bulge” Fleur cried.
“How could you use just water to peel off this thick paint,try using sponge and soap to scrub yourf ace hard..It might hurt but the paints will surely peel away” Elva said.
“I didn’t even thought of that but what of my hair ?” She asked.
“Use a shampoo to wash your hair thoroughly,you can use mine cos it’s stronger” I said.
“Ok” She said before rushing off to carry out the tasks.
I giggled before sitting on the couch..Elva also joined me.
“Do you have another copy of that author’s novel?” She asked.
“No i don’t,i’ve been searching for it but it seems it isn’t out yet but i will be informed if it’s out” I said.
“I can’t really wait to read another of her novel” She said.
“Same here” I said.
“Thank goodness” We heard and saw Fleur,the paint had washed off completely.
“It’s all gone” She said happily.
“Wow i guess you scrubbed it real hard” Elva said.
“Ofcourse..I wouldn’t want my face and hair to remain like that forever..I will rather not go out anymore. The stares i was getting on my way back home made me want to run back and smack the children’s bums.” Fleur said.
Elva dissolved into giggles.
“I’m gonna return to work soon but i have to take a rest” She said sitting.
“I made pasta and left some for you” I said and she jumped up.
“Pasta?” She asked and i nodded before she ran off into the kitchen.

“Wow i enjoyed that” Fleur said walking back to the living room.
“I have to get back to work now”She said picking up her bag.
“Fleur please don’t forget to tell the Doc Steph about me replacing Mrs Morgan”Elva said.
“Ofcourse i won’t and i’m sure he’s gonna accept. As a matter of fact be ready to start tomorrow” Fleur said walking to the door.
“Thanks Fleur” Elva said.
“It’s fine,bye” Fleur said before walking out and closing the door behind her.
We fell silent immediately she left and an idea suddenly popped up in my head.
“Elva let’s go swim in the lake” I said.
“Lake?” She asked with wide eyes..
“Yes” I said.
“Yaaaaay” She squealed excitedly like a kid and i laughed.
