CHAPTER SEVEN

DAMIEN?

A girl I always wanted to see my whole life,

I stood up on seeing her come towards the dining table,

My whole family paused themselves looking at her until she came so close to us.

My spoon fell off my hand as I lost concentration staring at the beauty before me,

“Hi”her voice flowed out and I couldn’t believe am hearing her voice for the first time!

“R.. R-i-e-l-l-e”my sister stammered really surprised just like me to see such a big figure in our house.

“Yeah, good morning father, good morning mother”she greeted my parents sitting down beside me on the dining table,

I shivered, I couldn’t take my eyes off her face,

“Morning my daughter”my parents chorused while she nodded bringing out one plate from the center of the table and serving herself food,

Huh… What’s she doing? Is she real? What kinda girl come to our house, sit down like she knew us before and then served herself food?

“Wow! I didn’t know you are going out with someone like her”my dad said winking,

I smiled seeming it to be true,

“You’re so pretty, I’ve heard so much about you”little sister said to her while she smiled without words,

“You didn’t tell me she’s your girlfriend “she nudged me afterwards while I smiled,

“Where’s Carson? Isn’t he coming out yet? “She suddenly spoke up after taking two bites of her food,

My facial expression changed,

My mom and dad just understood her to be my girlfriend and now, she’s speaking of Carson!

Where did she know Carson from?

“Wow! You even told her about your useless brother? “Mom chipped in smiling at me,

“Well mom… “I smiled taking a bite of my food with my gaze still on her,

“Well, my daughter, that my son is so useless , I don’t know how I got him but… ”

“Mom”Rudy caught her up,

“He’s useless?? That’s too bad but you can’t speak so ill of him like that,

He’s a nice guy “she defended him so much as if they’ve known each other before,

How? Where did they meet? Did he meet her before me?

“Awwwwn, you have a humane girlfriend Damien”mom said while she turned her gaze to me,

“Girlfriend?? Damien? Carson never told me that he had a brother! ”

Oh sh*t! Little game bursted!!

I looked from my dad to my mom and then to my sister to see that puzzled expression on their face,

“You… You know Carson? “I stuttered while she nodded,

“Where is he? He’s supposed to be out of his room by now don’t you think?

I came here to fetch him”

Oh my gosh! Carson never told me that he had started rowing with celebrities especially this girl!

“Oh… “I sighed,

“Yeah, I told him I will pick him up to school”

Pick him up?? Did she mean picking up my brother to school?

That useless thing? Blockhead!! She wants to take him to school?

Are they dating?

“He doesn’t live with us here “I mouthed while she heaved,

“Oh my gosh! You guys should’ve told me earlier”she breathed out getting up from her seat,

“I’m sorry”

“Where does he live? ”

I gulped at her question, for no reason,

I found myself being so angry over the fact that she knew Carson and not me.

“I don’t know, he never told anyone”I lied,

“Oh… I will sort that out bye “she waved at all of us before leaving the house again with her bodyguard,

Every attention came back to me again,

“What was that about? Dad asked,

“I thought she was your girlfriend! “Rudy put in,

“I thought I was gonna be having a daughter-in-law!”

“And she came here… She came all the way here for Carson!

My big bro is a real guy now! Gosh! This popular girl came to look for him! “Rudy feeling so excited said,

I didn’t speak,

Carson, what game is he playing this time around??…

RILEY?

C’mon don’t fall again! Please don’t!

I landed on the floor again, I gave up going to the door to open it for my aunt,

“Hey aunt!”I greeted as she came into the room,

“Hello, how you? Your legs are… ”

“Fine “I snapped smiling at her,

“Okay eaten anything, ”

“Nope”I said shaking my head,

“Why? ”

“Cuz I can’t cook a thing, I mean… I can’t get my hands and time all screwed up for hours cuz of cooking “I said with a disgusting face and she sighed,

“Okay, I will make something nice for you now”

“Thanks aunt, how’s your family and my cousins? They don’t wanna see me yet? ”

“Yeah, they said you are an annoying cousin sister”

“Psst! Who cares if they are there or not, I don’t need them either aunt, “I replied sighing.

“The press really want to meet you”

“I can’t meet them ”

“Why? “She asked going away to the kitchen,

I followed her,

“That’s because I don’t want to,

if I meet them now, the whole world will know about my condition and my chance of dancing will be dropped”I explained following her into the kitchen,

“Look Riley”she turned her face to me after she might’ve turned on the gas,

“What makes you think you can win again? ”

“I can… ”

“There’s something I didn’t tell you, ”

”What?”

“I investigated about how that accident happened and was told that it was planned”

“What! ”

“Yeah, drop out, I don’t wanna lose you!!, “she cried out soberly,

It dawned on me immediately that some guys are after me by what she said,

“I can’t back out for anyone, its my talent! ”

“That person won’t stop coming after you until… ”

“I don’t care! I don’t care at all!

That person might’ve succeeded in breaking my ankle but.. ”

“Do you know one thing with you Riley is that you’re too stubborn!

Do you think that they can’t plan your death? Someone who set you up into an accident can do anything!

Do you know who did it? ”

“No”I shook my head,

“Riley’s father! ”

Oh my! My eyes widened with shock as my jaw dropped almost immediately too,

“What did you… ”

“Exactly Riley, pull out of that competition,In three days time the game will be on,

Don’t go there, first your legs aren’t okay and you might not win again with your legs like this… ”

“They’ve challenged me to do the competition more aunt,

I never knew that Riele was this bad!

And she acts around like my friend! She… Fuvk!! “I stared at my legs,

Not like what my aunt is saying never made sense to me, she’s hundred percent right!

I’m scared myself that I might not dance the balls,

My legs can’t move flexibly any more,

I’m so scared too that I might not win but the fact being that I was set up into this by Riele’s father hurt me the most,

People are like chameleon, come to your face they act like an angel while at your back, they’re beast!!

She came closer to me and hugged me,

“Its okay, its really okay”

I sighed,

“Aunt, i’m so scared, am really scared aunt

Each time I try to strengthen my legs, I can’t move it, I can’t stand on my toes

My legs is so useless!! I’m so fuvking scared!! ”

“That’s okay, huh, its fine”

“It won’t ever be fine with me if Riele ever emerges as the winner!

I will hate myself forever!! “I spat out….

CARSON

“How did you find me here? “I asked when I opened my door to see Riele standing infront of it,

She smiled pushing her way into my small house,

“Well, I went to your house first”

“House?? ”

“Yeah”she nodded her head,

“I mean… “I got nervous, they might’ve said something nasty about me to her and am so sure of it,

“Hmmmm, I went there, you never told me you had a big brother and a little cute sister! ”

“Well… “I shrugged looking at her sit down on my small rickety stool with her gaze traveling around the whole little living room,

“And you never told me you’re a useless guy and a blockhead too “she said winking at me while I gulped,

“Its funny “she added as she started laughing,

“What’s funny? ”

“Being a blockhead and a useless guy ”

I cleared my throat not finding anything to say to her,

It was rubbing my head or biting my lips, that’s what I did,

She sighed,

“Aren’t you gonna prepare for school?”

School? I looked at myself and clothes,

Can’t she see that am already prepared or are my clothes that poor not to be noticed?

“I’m.. I’m already dressed”

Her eyes traveled to my clothes too and down to my shoes,

“Dressed??… Oh.. I.. Didn’t look at you properly ”

“I see”

“Yeah.. “She stood up, “let’s go”
She said leading the way while I followed suit locking my door as we went out….

DAMIEN

I reported to work, I went to meet my boss in his office and was ushered into a chair,

“Wow you’re so handsome! Whom did you take after? Mom or dad? ”

I blushed greatly looking at him,

“Well, I can’t say”we both laughed while he signed my papers and handed them to me,

“Thanks sir”

“Don’t mention, I like you already,

You see, this is one of the famous company in Washington and I want you to always keep that image up okay? ”

I nodded my head,

“You’re really so handsome! Do you have a girlfriend? ”

He asked me and I shifted nervously on my chair,

What’s he upto? Why asking me that question?

“No sir”I lied and he nodded smiling at me,

“Well, I like you and I think I’m gonna fix you with my daughter Riele ”

My eyes widened and I gulped hard looking at him,

Which Riele is he talking about?

“She’s such a good dancer, you might know her,

And she might like you too, I’m going to fix you guys together,

Hope you like my idea? ”

Riele?? So this is her father? So, I’m working for Riele’s father??!

“Uhm… ”
