? ANGELICA ?
“Wow. This is so delicious.” Their mother said and I smiled happily.
“Thank you so much Ma’am.” I said and she smiled.
“You are a full time nanny right?” She asked and I nodded.
“Yes ma’am.” I replied while the brothers and the father kept eating and listening.
“How many years contract did you sign with her sons?” She asked looking at Teddy.
” We wanted her to just fill the space of the nanny till you are back. So she would be leaving very soon.” Teddy replied and she pouted her mouth.
“Why Very soon? Can’t she stay two years more. Her meals are the best.” She said and my eyes wide-ned.
” No mother. She can’t stay, she is still In school and nee-ds time to study. She also has a mother too.” Timmy said and I nodded in haste.
” Okay fine. But at least you can come visiting one in a week or in two to make dishes for us.” She said and I nodded smiling.
” Sure. That’s no big deal Ma’am. I would be honored.” I said and she held my hand in hers.
” You are such a cute little girl.” She said and I laughed faintly. I looked at the brothers and I saw they were also smiling.
“Thank you Ma’am.” I said and we faced our meals again.
” When are you going back to school?” The father asked cleaning his mouth with the tissue paper.
“We are yet to know father. It’s yet to be uploaded.” Thomas replied.
” When last did you check?” He asked and they kept mute. They actually haven’t checked for some weeks now.
“I will now.” Teddy said picking up his phone and punching it. I looked at Timmy and he winked at me making me blus-h.
“Hey dudes. We are resuming next week Monday.” Teddy said and I smiled.
I have missed school so much.
“That’s great news!” Mother said. I looked at Timmy and I saw him look at me sadly.
“What’s wrong?” Thomas asked him.
“I never knew I will start reading soon.” He replied and I laughed.
” That’s not an issue Timmy.” I said to him and he smiled.
The brothers looked at us, and they looked at their mother who was busy eating up the rest of her food.
“Am off.” The father said and stood up walking away. I looked at him fearfully, didn’t he like the food? Or he doesn’t like me at all.
“You are worried.” The mother said and I nodded sadly.
” He doesn’t talk much. And that doesn’t mean he hates you or the food. That’s just him.” She explained and I smiled.
” Thanks Ma’am.” I replied and she nodded smiling.
” Am off too. nee-d to have a long nap.” She said standing up.
” Sleep ti-ght mother.” Timmy said and she smiled scattering his hair.
“I will my baby boy.” She said before walking out too. I sighed and looked at the brothers.
“I am happy you are cool now.” I said and Timmy smiled.
” All thanks to big brother. He spoke senses into us.” He said pointing to Teddy who smiled faintly.
“Thanks Teddy.” I said looking at him. He looked at me and nodded before facing his food again.
“Don’t you think it’s high time Teddy had a girlfriend? I mean, he’s been single his whole life.” Thomas said making Timmy giggle while I just stared at him.
“Guys stop acting stupid okay?” He said smiling making them laugh.
” No. You should have a partner. You are matured and can handle matters in a very good way. You take others feelings above yours and never bother others with your feelings. What else do you nee-d to have a partner.” Timmy said and Thomas nodded.
He looked up at me and looked away again.
“If me having a partner would cause troubles, then I prefer been single.” I said and we all stared at him in confusion.
“You have started with these talks. How will you having a partner cause troubles?” Timmy asked and I stared at him speechlessly.
What does he mean?
“Once you are my age, then I will explain.” He said and they all laughed while I smiled.
He really knows how to handle issues. He has kept them shut that way.
“No matter what you say, you will have a partner. What do you think about Cecilia?” Thomas asked and he laughed.
” I don’t love her. And she can’t ba-re my attitude.” He replied and I couldn’t stop staring at him.
“Sophia?” Timmy asked mockingly and they all laughed while I kept my gaze on him.
He looks extremely handsome when he laughs.
“You know we were both egocentric, at the end we would gun ourselves down.” He said and they laugh while I smiled.
“Don’t you as a person have anyone in mind?” I asked before cautioning myself and the brothers nodded in agreement.
“I do have someone in mind, but she loves someone else.” He said staring at me, and I looked down. Why do I feel he is talking about me.
“Awwn, that’s heartbreaking ?” Timmy said and he nodded.
” But since she is happy I am fine with it.” He added and I looked at him again.
” Don’t worry Teddy. If she would be yours, she will surely be yours.” Thomas said he smiled.
” Maybe. Well I ain’t putting my mind on it anymore. It’s complicated, so it’s better to get another lady.” He said.
” No Teddy. Don’t just give up, you have never loved anyone before, and now you do, she must really mean a lot to you. Don’t let her sli-p away from your hands.” Timmy said and he nodded.
” Have you told her about how you feel?” Thomas asked and he shook his head.
” Not when she loves another.” He said sipping his drink.
” And who is even this lady in question?” Timmy asked and he smiled.
” That isn’t necessary.” He said standing up.
” You’re done.” I said and he nodded.
“I will be in my room dudes. nee-d to rest too, I was stressed out babysitting you guys.” He said and we smiled.
He walked away and we stared at him as he left.
“He deserves to be happy too. I am sure he is hurting.” Thomas said and Timmy nodded.
” We nee-d to find out who that lady is, we nee-d to win her for him.” Timmy said and Thomas nodded.
” That will be ha-rd. You don’t even know her, why not forget it.” I said jealously.
” No we can’t. We will know her soon. You just watch.” They both said shaking hands.
I sighed and stood up walking to the kitchen with my plate.

? TEDDY ?
……BACK TO SCHOOL….
I walked into the compound with of course Thomas and Timmy with me. As usual the students kept drooling as we walked.
But we weren’t even paying attention to them. We just kept moving to the clas-s.
We got to the hallway and they began to take pictures and scream as they saw us. Am just so sick of all these.
We got to the clas-s and I saw Timmy looking around for one person. A person no other than Angelica. She left the house a week ago and to be honest we brothers have been back to the way we were once again.
We saw her sitting at the back of the clas-s, the usual place she always sat. We all moved to where she sat and everyone looked at us wondering what we were going to do with her.
“They would mock her again and make her feel bad.” I heard some say and I sighed ignoring them. Timmy approached her and sat next to her putting his hand across his ne-ck.
Thomas took the chair next to Timmy at the left and sat while I took the one at her right hand and sat as we smiled at each other.
The students kept staring at us and I saw Angelica bend her head and smiling widely.
“What’s going on here!” We heard that arrogant lady Sophia ask as she began to approach us.
No wonder I didn’t even see her when we came in. It seems she grew uglier these past few weeks we were on break.
“Teddy what are you doing with her?” She asked and I sighed grabbing my books from my bag.
“I am talking to you!” She smacked but I just ignored.
” Oh I get it.” She said facing the clas-s and I wondered what she was about to say. I rose up my head and stared at her as she made her filthy speech.
“This Angelica here! She has no Shame! She is just a filthy b**ch! She wanted to get close to Teddy and so she went there to work as a maid.” She rapped and I saw Timmy stand up.
” Sit.” I said to him standing up.
“You know I can’t really blame you Sophia. Because I know you really want to be that maid you think Angelica is so you could get close to me.” I said and people gasped. I was quite happy they were taking everything on video record.
“How dare you Teddy!” She yelled.
“Sophia told you guys that we are together right, well That was a big hell of a lie because we aren’t and we weren’t. She just kept pushing herself on me.” I said and murmurings started.
” They will never believe you liar!” She smacked and I smiled.
” Really? Okay. Let’s listen to this.” I said bringing out my phone and playing the sound record I took the day we both talked.
“I knew a day like this would come, so I took this.” I said as the cli-p played and they all began to laugh at her.
“I don’t love you. I don’t even nee-d you as a friend so don’t flatter yourself. That girl sitting over there as the best personality. So if you ever open those filthy li-ps to talk to her again, you will fuc-king blame yourself.” I said to her teary face pointing to Angelica who looked equally shocked.
“fuc-k you!” She yelled running out while I smiled walked back to where I sat.
“Gracious wow. That was spectacular. Never knew you could do that.” Timmy said and I smiled.
” She deserves it. If I didn’t shut her up, she would keep going around saying nonsense.” I said and my brothers laughed.
” I tend to love you more.” Thomas said and I laughed.
I looked up and I saw Cecilia staring at Thomas. I smiled and looked at him from where I sat.
“Sh.” I made a sound pointing to her with my head. He quickly got what I was saying and looked at her. He smiled and she quickly looked away.
“Perfect. Another chemistry booting.” I thought looking away.
At least if he likes Cecilia and goes with her, there won’t be any more issues.
“Thank you.” I heard Angelica say to me. Throu-ghout the whole time she kept staring at me and I tried not to stare back.
“It’s nothing.” I said without looking into her face.
“Excuse me.” She said walking out of the clas-s and the students kept staring at her.
I saw Thomas change seats and came closer smiling.
“Is she still staring?” He asked happily.
” Not anymore. This time I guess she is stealing glances of you.” I said narrowing my gaze at him.
” Yes!” He said making me laugh.
“I knew you have something for her.” I said and he shut me up.
” You were loud.” He said and I nodded smiling.
? ANGELICA ?
I ran down the hall way to the toilet path, and when I saw nobody I stopped and bursted into tears. Why am I still feeling this way for Teddy.
Timmy was right there beside me, but I saw only him. Just him.
I held my hair in frustration wishing I could just love Timmy and forget all about Teddy.
“He said I have the best personality.
” He said the one is loves is with another person and having her will cause troubles. He doesn’t want his brothers to know her.”
Why do I feel like the fingers all point at me.
I heard footsteps approach, I cleaned my eyes and looked up to see Teddy looking around. He saw me and began to walk to me.
“What are you doing here? The teacher is in clas-s already.” He said and I nodded trying to smile.
” What is wrong with you? Are you crying? Did she come here to hurt you?” He bomberded me with questions and tears rolled down my eyes again.
“B**ch.” He mumbled and wanted to walk away in anger when I held him back by his wrist.
“She didn’t do anything.” I said.
“Don’t try to cover up for her. I know Sophia is dangerous.” He said and I shook my head.
” It’s not Sophia.” I said and he looked at me.
” Then who?” He asked in a calm voice.
“You Teddy. You.” I said looking at him with my teary eyes.
“What? What did I do?” He asked in shock.
” I know this may sound stupid. But why can’t you love me? Am I that bad.? Or is it because I am poor?” I asked in tears.
” What are you talking about?” He asked looking away.
” That’s exactly what I am talking about.” I said and he held his hair shutting his eyes.
“Go to Timmy. He is waiting.” He said and I stared at him before running off. Maybe I was just day dreaming.
