I decided to get up from bed early today so I could clean the house before leaving with Becky to have a fun filled day.

I put on my headphones and increased the volume to the highest, I was jamming to some tunes as I cleaned the living room.

I was wiping the surface of the centre table when I felt a grip on my waist, I turned around to see a well dressed Drake.

"Morning babe." I smiled as I gave him a morning kiss.

He returned the favour with his arms caging me into his body. He said some words to me but I couldn't comprehend what it was because of my blasting headphones.

He shook his head as he took off the headset from my head and rested it on my neck.

"You are in a pretty good mood today besides why are you cleaning ?!" He chuckled as he tucked his hands into his pockets.

"I want to get the house squeaky clean before Sekani and Khalil arrive." I squealed as I skipped around the room towards the TV stand.

I began spraying the cleansing solution on the TV stand as I wiped it with the rag in my hand.

"They won't be here till the weekend besides is that why you're dressed like a Texas waiter ?!" He chuckled to himself as he walked towards where I stood.

I looked at my clothes,I was wearing a denim short with an armless plaid top and I had my hair in two pigtails. Maybe he was right about my look,I had to dress that way so I could easily move around while I worked.

"Well that makes me a hot waitress." I winked at him as I dusted the cushions.

"No doubt. Aren't you going to work today ?!" He gave me a puzzled look as he sat on a stool that was beside the centre table.

"Nope !" I emphasized the P sound making a loud pop sound.

"Okay what's the euphoria for ?!" I laughed at his question as I walked towards him, it was obviously I was super happy.

"I'm having a girl's day out with Becky." I giggled as I rested my hands on his shoulders.

"Oh that's why she turned in sick at work today." He rolled his eyes then he carried me in his arms and rested me on his laps.

"Speaking of Becky, she's really mad at you." I said as I rested my hands on his chest.

"Yeah I'm aware, Becky's attitude can't go unnoticed." He said as the side of his lips curled upwards.

"Please, talk to her."

"I would when I get the chance." He said as he played with my fingers.

"When would that be ?" I asked him with an arched brow.

"At the vacation." I slapped his hands off my fingers.

"Drake fix things with her before then." I ordered him as I have him a scornful look.

"Yes Mom!" He rolled his eyes dramatically. "So what would the girl's day out be about ?" He cocked his head to his side giving me a smirk.

"We'd be going to the salon first so I could get my hair fixed then we'd go shopping, as for the other activities, they can't be shared with the male species." I pouted at him before dabbing the tip of the nose.

"Oh wow! That's harsh." He shook his head while I laughed at him. "And so is this..." Before I knew what was going on he dropped me on the floor.

"Drake !" I exclaimed as I threw the rag at him.

"Hey watch the suit! This suit can buy your company." He chuckled as he got up from the stool.

"Just go to work already." I waved him off as I got up from where I laid.

"What ?! You should be glad I dropped you on the soft rug." He winked at me as he adjusted the creases on his suit.

"James come get Drake !" I called James who was standing outside the front door.

He rushed in with a worried look but his face relaxed when he saw Drake and I giving ourselves playful looks.

"Oh just your little fights." James chuckled as he picked up Drake's suitcase from the couch.

"Don't you need help around, I mean it's a huge house for you to clean." He asked me as he buttoned his suit jacket.

"No it's okay, I once worked as a janitor while I was in highschool, so I could handle this ." I shrugged as I picked the the rag from the floor.

"Okay darl, I gotta rush now. We'd see later." He kissed my forehead before he followed James out of the door.

I shook my head as I watched him leave, I had a little smile on my face which later evolved into a broad one as I reminisced what happened earlier.

I turned around to get started on my cleaning as I put the headphones back on. I had to be fast about cleaning because Becky would be home in the next four hours.

°°°°°°°°°

I

was putting on a jean palazzo when I heard Becky shouting along the hallway.

"In here boo !" I shouted as I zipped up my pants.

"Oooh, there's my girl. Why aren't you dressed yet." She looked at me who was standing topless in from of the mirror.

"I had lot of work to do." I said as I reached for a floral armless crop top that was resting on the dresser.

"I guess you did some cleaning then." She gave me a knowing look as she slumped into my bed.

"How can you tell ?!" I put on the top as I stood in front of the mirror.

"The house is sparkling, I guess that janitor job we did really taught you some lessons." We both laughed as we remembered that awful job we had to take just to get some emergency cash.

"Babe are you sure this is your room or do you share the same room with Drake ?!" I gave her a clueless look through the mirror as I applied some oil to my hair.

"No, this is mine." I said as I turned around to look at her directly.

"This bed smells so much like him, don't tell me ..." She put out her finger in front of me as she rose one of her brows.

"No rotten child, we both have late night chats before he goes to his room and that's where he lies." I said as I pointed to where she laid.

"Oh okay, in that case." She said as she got up from where she laid and reached out for her purse.

"Besides how do you know his scent ?" I peered into her face as she brought out a small bottle of perfume.

"He's my boss, I smell him everyday." She rolled her eyes as she applied the perfume to her clothes.

"What are you doing ?!" I got up from where I sat and reached for my wardrobe.

"Getting Drake's scent off." She shrugged as she put the bottle into her purse.

"Oh Lord!" I said as I brought out a pair of sandals.

"So where are we heading first ?" I asked her as I put on the sandals.

"The salon, that hair needs to be fixed !" She had a ridiculous look as she grabbed her purse off the nightstand.

I chuckled as I stuffed my phone into my back pocket, I didn't feel like taking my handbag because I'd be carrying lot of bags from different stores.

I paced down the stairs and surprisingly I saw James having a conversation with Becky.

"James, shouldn't you be with Drake ?" I asked him as I stopped in front of him and Becky.

"Yeah, he sent me to give you this." He handed me a credit card and no doubt that was Drake's card.

"Oh no, I gat mine." I said as I brought out my credit card and waved it at him.

"He said you'd reject it but he asked me not to leave until you take it." He still had the card in front of me.

"In that case feel at home." I told him as I gestured around the living room.

"If you ain't gonna use it, I'd love to use Drake's money." She snatched the card from James' hand as she walked towards the front door.

"It's for Miss Skai." He said as he walked behind her.

"I'm her best friend, I can stand for her." She said as she gave him a naughty look.

"Okay okay, Becky give me the card." I said as I motioned for her to give me the card.

"I thought you were fronting." She teased me as she tossed the card towards me.

"James, I've taken the card. You can go now." I wouldn't use the card but I couldn't let James follow me about begging me to take it.

He escorted us outside as we entered one of the SUV's that was driven by a guard who would take us to our destination.

°°°°°°°°°°

"

Your braids are on fire !" Becky complimented me as we walked out of the salon.

I was advised to get my hair braided with extensions so as to protect it from more breakage, so I got a knot less jumbo braid. It really suit me and I wished I had been doing braids earlier.

"Thanks, my hair is gonna be protected with this." I said as I flung some of the braids in the air.

"I really want braids right now !" She said with a childish pout on her lips.

"What do you mean ?! Your new curls are the bomb !" I said as I twirled one of the silly curls on her hair, she decided to get her hair curled so her hair could be extra curly.

"Yeah yeah enough of the compliments, let's go shopping !" She said as she dragged me to the car with that guard trailing behind us.

We arrived at the mall, after scanning through the mall,we bought some clothes from different designer's store, I didn't want to get from popular stores so people wouldn't easily pinpoint my style.

I also got some clothes for Becky and with much persuasion from her and her stupid revenge plan against Drake, she urged me to use his credit card.

We were now sitting in a eatery in the mall. After waiting for some minutes, our food came along.

"This pasta is calling my name !" Becky exclaimed as she drooled over the well arranged pasta and meatballs that was seated on her plate.

"Shut up and eat." I rolled my eyes as I reached out for my fork.

"We got lot of clothes." She said as she looked over at the pile of designer plastic bags that had our clothes peeking out of it.

"Yeah, I think we spent too much. Drake's card gonna be alarming." I pursed my lips as I gave Becky a worried look.

"Babe, he's a billionaire. We just spent a pinch, that guy buys suits that worth millions. So girl spend as much as you want." I threw her a serviette and chuckled as I continued devouring my food.

We ate in silence as we enjoyed our hot meals. Our silence was broken by Becky's ringtone that blasted from her phone.

She looked at it with a smile on her face and I caught her cheeks flushing red as she picked it up. She excused herself as she walked towards a corner and spoke into it for while.

Who's this person that's making her blush so much and why did she have to excuse herself.

I thought to myself as I gulped the bottle of orange juice before taking my last piece of pasta.

"Hey sorry, had to take that call." She said as she took her seat. I remained quiet as I gave her a questioning look.

"What ?!" She asked me but I still kept mute.

"Did you take out of my food ?!" She used her fork to poke her meatball before putting it into her mouth.

"Who's that ?!" I asked as I rested my chin on my interlocked hands.

"Who ?"

"The person that made you blush red like a tomato." I immediately said with my eyes narrowing at her.

She pursed her lips as she dropped her fork down, she suddenly gained interest in plain walls as she looked everywhere but me.

"Hello ?!" I waved my hands at her as I tried to get her attention.

"Okay I guess it's your turn to be mad." She rolled her eyes as she whipped out her phone from her jacket.

"What's going on ?" I asked her as I leaned closer towards her.

"Nothing serious other than the fact I'm seeing someone." My eyes grew wider as I jumped from where I sat and shared the same seat with her.

"What ?! Tell me, show me and inform me!" I pestered as I shook her body vigorously.

"Girl were gonna fall off." She pushed me away from the seat but I still stood there like a child waiting for a candy.

"When did it start ?!" I asked her as I tugged the ends of my top.

"About a month ago." She shrugged as she scrolled through her phone.

"And you didn't tell me !" I slapped her shoulder.

"Okay before you get mad,take a look at him." She handed her phone to me and my eyes grew wider at the man that was smiling at me in the picture.

"What ?! You know him ?!" She asked me as she looked at my surprised expression.

"Yeah, he was my boss. His name is Archer." I said as I remembered how nice he was to me before I left for the contract.

"Whoa! What ?!" She exclaimed as she stood up from her seat.

"Yeah we worked together at the Orchard's." I shrugged as I scrolled down her gallery showing more pictures of him.

"So you mean, you've known a hunk like him and you didn't tell me !" She tugged the ends of my braids which ached me because I just got them done.

"Would I know you too would end up together ?!" I brushed her off as I walked over to my seat.

"I told you about Drake and showed you pics and I didn't know you two would be together but hey look at you." She gestured in a sarcastic manner as she slumped into her seat.

"Wow, I'm so happy you've left the singles club." I giggled as I pushed the phone back to her.

"Yeah, he makes me happy." She smiled and the flush of redness appeared on her cheeks.

"He's a nice guy, he helped me with Sekani's fees. He's really nice!" I squealed as I looked at a surprised Becky.

"Wait the guy that helped you then was Archer, my Archer ?" She gripped the edge of the table as she drew closer to me.

"Yeah."

"I think I got the right man!" She giggled as she leaned back into the seat. "I just fell for the looks but the personality came in afterwards." She shrugged as she laughed to herself.

"Awwwn, how did you two meet ?" I asked her as I looked at her with interest.

"Well, he newly branched out of his previous company and he partnered with us for some minor deal so Drake sent me down to his office..you can picture the rest." She waved me off as she filled her mouth with pasta.

"So you worked with him,spent more time with him and you fell happily ever after." I clenched my hands under my neck as I teased her.

"Whatever!"

"I'm so glad things are turning out well for us." I said as I reached out for her hands.

"Yeah, we thank God and we worked hard for it !" She gave me a warm smile but her smile was turned into a frown as she looked behind me.

"Sis, for the love you have for me don't look back!" She pleaded.

"Shut up!"I turned my head to look behind me and I froze at the couple I saw looking at each other with love in their eyes.

I got up from where I stood and paced towards them with anger bursting through my veins with Becky racing behind me.

"Mom, what's going on ?!" I asked as I scornfully looked at her intertwined hand with my dad.

"S-s-sk-k-k-ai" she stuttered as she removed her hands from his grip.

"So you two are back uhn ?!" I snarled as I crossed my arms around me.

"Skai, it's complicated." I let out an unamused laugh as I gave them a cold glare.

"Okay Skai, I think we should go somewhere where there's less of a crowd." Dad suggested as he tried to reach for my hands.

"You don't get to suggest !" I seethed as I pointed my fingers at him.

"Skai, c'mon let's go. You're making a scene, we don't want anymore drama." She wrapped her arm around my shoulder as she drew me backwards.

"Uhm, I think you should talk to her another time." She told my parents before leading me away.

"Preferably, never." I muttered.

"Skai!"Becky slapped my arms as we walked away from them

I was confused and disoriented from what I saw,this was a man who hurt her severally and caused her so much pain but there she is taking him back with open arms.

When I was having a fun filled day in a high state of euphoria this incident just crashed everything.
