《BOOT STRAPS》Going Home
Advertisement
I opened my eyes and looked around the room trying to find the energy to get up from bed. My eyes landed on the twins who were putting my clothes into my bags while chattering.
"What are you guys doing ?"I asked them as I rushed out of bed.
"We are helping you pack since you won't have time for that ."Busola said as she put some of my folded clothes into my bag.
"Oh thanks but I can do that before going to work , I have time."I took the clothes out of Busayo's hands.
"Sis you should check the time."Busola said as she put her phone close to my face.
It was 10am. How did I sleep so much and why didn't anyone wake me up. I shoved the clothes back into Busayo's hands and rushed around the room to get my towel which I couldn't find.
"Why didn't you guys wake me up?"I asked as I finally found the towel.
"Drake told us to come get you since 7am but we got here and you were sleeping so peacefully so we decided to let you sleep til 7.30 that was when...."Busola paused and gave her sister a knowing look.
"That was when we got carried away with packing your clothes and I must say you have really good clothes."Busayo smiled as she said those words which made me frown.
"You girls are....."I was cut short by Busayo as she put her hands around my shoulder.
"But if it'd make you feel any better we set up your phone for you, we installed essential apps,retrieved your lost contacts and most importantly we created an Instagram account for you !"I wanted to rant but they were really of help to me because they are helping me pack and they set up my phone but they should have woken me up.
"I can really see why Drake calls you guys monkeys."They both giggled at what I said before they both went behind me and started pushing me towards the bathroom.
"Okayyy you are already late why don't you hurry up and go to work ."Busola said as she pushed me into the bathroom and closed the door.
These girls are like a box of surprises. No one knows what to expect from them but I really like them and I look forward to spending more time with them in Atlanta.

I took my bath in a haste and I'm completely sure I didn't come out clean from the shower. I rushed out of the shower with my towel tied around my chest. I met the twins still in my room helping me pack. They pointed at bed where a black long sleeve dress has been carefully laid with my shoes.
I wore them without telling the girls to excuse me. I packed my hand bag in a rush and dashed out of the room and headed to the living room.
I bumped into Adesola who was carrying a cup of coffee.
"I'm so sorry about that,I woke up late and ....."She cut me short and she shoved the cup of coffee into my hand.
"Just go, the driver is waiting for you outside, now go!"She pushed me our of the door with the cup of coffee in my hands. Why is everyone pushing me today.
I arrived at the office and I went straight to Drake's office. I walked in and I didn't see him there, hoping he hadn't come in yet, I sat in my chair and powered up my laptop pretending I've been working.
Few minutes later, Drake walked on with some of his workers,they were all smiling at Drake who led them in.
"So if there's any issue ,you should contact George and he'd know how to direct you , let me get you the files."He walked over to his desk and took some files and handed them to one of the workers.
"So that'd be all for now,you can all go and have a nice day ."He dismissed the workers and he turned around to look at me who had my eyes widened at his gestures. Drake was actually nice to his workers without me being there to correct him.
"And you ? Why are you late ?"He asked me as he tucked one of his hands into his pocket.
"I'm not late, I came in an hour after you arrived here and I've been in this office working."I lied as I pretended to type on my system.
"Yeah that's why we didn't see you in here when I addressed the management team in this same office."His words made me mute because I was caught in my own lie.
"You sleepy head ,you missed the meeting !"He exclaimed as he walked towards my desk,he now had a scowl on his face.

"I'm sorry ,I slept late and I couldn't wake up early." I explained my reason for coming late to him but he smirked and sat on the edge of my desk.
"Well I left the main job for you, you'd go to work with the finance team and ensure the accounts are balanced, recorded and not above the cost of production."He said with an evil smirk on his face knowing how stressful that is.
"Then what would you be doing ?"I asked him with an arched brow.
"Driving around town with James. Catch you later !"He winked at me before he left the office.
I groaned as I walked towards the finance department to get my work started. After long hours of talking, directing and ensuring the new strategies were put in place, I was done for the day.
I packed my things and rushed towards the elevator because it was 4pm already and I had to meet up with Drake outside so we could go home.
##########
We were all ready to leave for the airport. We all had our bags outside the house. The twins packed a lot of things and Drake has been teasing them about that.
"You should have packed your whole room."He teased the twins as the driver loaded the car with the bags.
"Whatever !"The twins yelled at him in unison. They always looked cute whenever they say the same thing at the same time.
"My babies I'm going to miss you so much."Adesola drew the twins in a hug as she pat the back of their heads.
"Don't worry aunt, if they act silly they'd be at your doorstep."He winked at the twins who stuck their tongues out which made Adesola and I chuckle.
"And be careful Skai, take care of yourself. " She said as she took my hands in hers.
"Yes aunt , I promise you that."I smiled at her as I slightly squeezed her hands.
Kelvin came out of the door wearing a black suit which complemented his tall figure.
"Are you going somewhere ?"I asked him wondering where he was wearing a suit to.
"Who do you think would be watching over the office while you guys are away."He chuckled as he drew me in a side hug.
"Wow that's nice."I said as I broke the hug.
"Drake you have my daughters in your care please don't let them out of your sight and always be there to help Skai as she fights Andre, okay ?"He held Drake by the shoulder like the way a father would do to his son when he's giving advice.
"Yes uncle, I'd always have that in mind."He said as he pat Kevin's hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah yeah we all know what to do, can we just go now."Busola said as she rushed into the car while Busayo trailed behind her.
"Aren't you going to tell your dad goodbye ?"Kelvin walked up to the car window and he bent his head to see the girls who were already seated inside.
"Bye !" They echoed as they smiled at their father.
We all waved good byes and we entered the car. In no time we were already settling in Drake's private jet.
"If this is how your jet looks like I can't wait to get to your house."Busayo said as she buckled her seat belt.
" Yeah !"Busola squealed as she relaxed in her seat.
They sat opposite one another while Drake and I sat opposite one another at the other side.
"Well my house would be less boring."He chuckled as he looked at the twins with admiration.
"Yeah, and they'd lighten up your mood anytime you go psycho again."I winked at him then he rolled his eyes.
The plane began to soar high in the air while we slept peacefully through the whole flight. We landed late at night.
Drake insisted I spend the night in his place because it was too late for me to go home but I miss my home and I couldn't wait to take in the scent of my home and sleep on my comfy bed.
So he sent James to take me home. We drove home and he followed me up to my doorstep. I opened my door and I screamed at the sight of what my eyes saw.
Blood. Blood was everywhere, on the couch,the TV,the fans, the floor, it covered the entire apartment.
James rushed me into the car. I was in shock as the images of blood flashed through my mind. This was no doubt the work of Andre.
