Mico’s Pov:
I decided to visit Alyssa since we hadn’t been able to communicate after Alexa had ruined my mood the previous day.
I knocked on her gate for sometime before she finally opened up. But immediately she did, she hissed and crossed her hands, standing in between the gate.
“Hey” I called, sounding a little surprised.
Could she be mad at me?
“What do you want, Mr?” She asked icily, not looking at me.
I scoffed and looked around.
“I uhm…I came to see you” I told her and she also scoffed.
“You came to see me? Well, the last time I checked, you almost yelled at me, telling me to stay away from you. And even when I tried calling you, you ignored my calls. So I don’t think you’re here to see me” she replied and folded her hands more tightly.
This girl is crazy.
I cleared my throat before going on.
“Uhm…Alyssa, I’m…I’m really sorry for what happened yesterday. I was…I was just in a bad mood. I’m sorry, okay?”
She didn’t say anything and I itched my head.
“Alyssa?” I called but she still kept mute.
“Pretty?” I called again and this time around, she smiled.
Wow! Indeed, ladies are driven by words.
Then immediately, she stopped smiling and hit me on the head.
What?
“Next time you snub me again, we’re definitely going to fight” she said and I smiled and nodded.
Then she made way for me to come in and immediately I did, she slapped my arm.
“You won’t believe I passed the first stage of the young miss beauty contest, Nigel!” She said happily and I touched my arm.
Oh, mum!
“Three people were disqualified today and it’s just remaining eight of us.
I was so scared when it had gotten to my turn because the judges had delayed in telling me if I was correct or not.
But luckily I passed and even Mico was happy…”
“How did you know he was happy?” I interpolated.
“Well, he was smiling and I could tell he was happy for me.
“By the way, Mico and Jeremy had a challenge today in the basketball game. I was scared Nigel, but thank God Mico was able to defeat him.
Hm. That Jeremy is so annoying. I can’t believe he actually challenged my Mico…”.
Well, yes. I had to defeat him. I had already promised myself I was never going to let him take anything else away from me.
By this time, we had already gotten to the sitting room and there I found three baskets of clothes on the floor.
Oh Jesus!
“Uhm…Nigel, there’s a festival going on down the street this evening.
So I was thinking we could use that opportunity to deliver these clothes to some customers.
What do you think?” She asked as she took two of the baskets from the floor and gave to me.
There’s always an excuse.
She’s asking me what I think, yet; she has already given it to me.
What a drama queen.
She kept talking and talking like a parrot until we got to the home of deliveries.
My legs.
Will I be needing to get her a car now?
On our way back, she passed through the street that the festival was taking place and Holy Christ! It was a jungle party.
Some people were even looking like flag of all nations while some looked like scary vultures.
What king of a festival is this for Christ sake?
There were about a thousand people there on the street and some were playing drums while ten rest dancing and shouting like animals.
I looked at Alyssa and she was actually smiling and shaking her head. This lady is not serious.
I was about telling her to take me out of there, but she held my hand and took me deeper into the crowd.
“Come on Nigel” she told me and before I could say a word, she went to a table where different colours were kept and took a plate of red color.
“Alyssa, what re you doing?” I asked but she chucked and started painting her face with it.
When she was done, unexpectedly, she also took a handful of it and rubbed it on my face.
Whaaat!
“Alyssa!” I shrieked and she laughed and added more on my face.
Now I’m pretty sure I’m looking like a forest boy.
She tried adding more on my face but I held her hand and she laughed again and returned the plate to the table.
Who ever introduced me to this lady?
“Come on Nigel; let’s dance” she said and started twisting her waist and I watched in amusement.
She was such a crazy dancer.
“Alyssa, let’s get out of here” I told her.
“What? But the fun is just getting started Nigel” she replied and held my hand and started twirling with it.
She made crazy dance steps and made me dance along with her and at a point; I laughed.
“Alyssa please , let’s go” I grouched .
I wasn’t used to such kind of noise .
“You’re such a killjoy Nigel.
Fine, let’s go” she said with a frown and led me out of the crowd.
