“Dad when is the man coming” the lady said to her dad.
“Ann the man has arrived and would you please carry your suit case yourself don’t wear my wife out” her dad replied.
“Dad! mum said she would carry it for me” she whinned.
“Dad tell her, she’s twenty four and she hasn’t act like one since I have known her,can you imagine just a month Vacation she packed two big boxes” her sister jeered.
“Mum warn her, aren’t you the one that offered to help me carry the bag”.
“Ann, Bella you two stop behaving like six years olds” their mum snapped.
“Yes mum” they both chorus.
“Good afternoon sir” the driver greeted.
“Good afternoon where’s our ride?” Mr Richard replied.
“It’s over there sir” the man said pointing to two Hilux cars.
“But Samson I told mama to send us a bigger ride and now this” Mr Richard replied.

“Ok’ he replied then faces his children.
“Ann, Bella you take the second ride while I and your mom will take the first one” he informed.

“No dear don’t separate I and my wife” her dad replied walking towards the first car.
“Well then you are struck with me” Bella replied walking away.
“Hey twenty six years old woman wait for me” Ann yelled running after her sister.
“Don’t you dare call me a woman,am still a lady” she replied placing her box in the Booth of the car.
“Bella please come help me carry one of my boxes” she begged.
“Nope madam I don’t want to leave no stone unturned” Bella replied.
“I hate you” Ann said childishly.
“I love you too” Bella Chuckled.
They both entered their ride and the driver zoomed off.
“Bella don’t tell me you are sleeping or you are faking it” Ann said bumping her shoulder with Bella’s.
“Ann I don’t want to talk to you” she replied.
“Why?” Ann asked “Bella talk to me” she inquired.
“It’s about Christan, he’s being awkward this days” Bella replied.
“How?” Ann asked.
“Sometimes when I call him, he will pick up but the annoying thing is that he hangs up the call anytime, he is behaving like a married man I don’t understand him”.
“And have you talked to him about this?”.
“I did he was just giving me flimsy excuses”.
“Gosh do you want me to whip his ass”.
“No Ann, Christan know me don’t he, he knows it isn’t hard for me to figure him out, it’s not hard” Bella shrugged.
“Bad energy away with you, positive only we are here for vacation,chill forget about Christan and your problem for a month” .
“Yes sis you are the best” Bella smiled.
“Why am I feeling thirsty all of sudden” Ann exclaimed.
“Same here, don’t you pack some water with you”.
“No I didn’t what about you?” She asked.
“I didn’t either, then we have to stop the car” Bella replied.
“Mister can you please stop the car”.
“Why if I may ask miss?” The driver asked.
“My sister and I are kinda thirsty and we didn’t pack along with us a bottle of water” Ann replied.
“Oh ok” the man replied and stopped the car.
“Should I get the drink for you?”he asked.
“No don’t bother mister,we will get it ourselves” Bella replied and they got down from the car.
“Let’s go to the restaurant over there” Ann points and they both entered inside the fancy restaurant.
“Good afternoon I need two bottles of water” Bella said to one of the waiter in the restaurant.
The lady only look blankly at her.
“Don’t you get what i just said, I need two bottles of water” she said again.
The lady shook her head.
“Oh God” Ann exclaimed “we need two bottles of water”.
“I don’t understand what you people are saying but I will call the manager” she said.
“That will be better” Bella exclaimed angrily.
The lady appeared with a good looking young man dressed in suit.
“Good afternoon” the Man greeted.
“Good afternoon” they both chorus.
“Please ma’am what do you need?” The man asked politely.
“We need two bottles of water”Ann answered.
“Oh do you need warm or cold one?”.
“Chilled one will be better” she replied.
The man faced the waiter and instructed them to give them two bottles of water and he made to leave.
“Please mister don’t leave, we might want to converse with her, she might not understand us, I and my sister has been telling her that we need two bottles of water, she just stare at us Blankly before she went to call you”.
“Am so sorry for the inconveniences please” the man replied.
“How much is the drink?” .
“Just two hundred naira” he replied.
“Why is she taking so long?” Ann asked.
“Am sorry let me see to it” the man replied and left.

“What up with everyone calling Ann a princess, she’s not even dressed like one” Bella scoffs and their parents laughed it off.
Both Ann and the old woman were all over each other.
“My children I prepared you Afang soup with pounded yam, you will enjoy it” the old woman chipped happily.
Both Bella and Ann were told to share room together and Bella did not cease to show her distaste
“What? Why am I suppose to share a room with her”she exclaimed dragging her box angrily on the tiles.
