That’s my mother!
I turned just to see her close the cab door.
“mom! “I screamed and ran towards the cab but I wasn’t fast enough coz the cab man drove off.
OMG I need to follow her.
I need a cab.
I paced back and forth waiting for an empty cab to pass by.
Gosh she’s getting far.
Luckily I stopped a cab and asked him to take the same direction.
We went in the same direction for mins till we got to a two junction.
Not knowing which one to take, I took the right.
I can’t believe I lost my mother, I lost track of her.
I couldn’t find her.
I’m now in a cab heading back to the mansion.
I’m so sad that I couldn’t find my mother.
I don’t know if I’ll ever get this kind of opportunity again.
I just hope and pray that God gives me a chance to rectify my mistakes.
I got to the mansion, paid the cab man and headed into the mansion.
“gosh! We were worried sick about you, what happened ” Mr Brown breathed out as soon as I entered.
“Uhm… I.. I just had to do something ” I stuttered, my voice shaking.
I think I’m gonna break down in tears any moment from now if I don’t go to my room.
It’ll be embarrassing to cry in front of that scumbag Larry.
“I’ll be in my room ” I said and turned to leave.
“Caitlyn ” Mr Brown called and I turned to look at him with tears already pricking outta my eyes.
“did anything happen” he asked worriedly and I nodded “no”.
I climbed the stairs and headed to my room not even acknowledging Larry’s present.
I got to my room and collapsed in my bed.
A knock came on my door and I sighed.
The door flew open and Larry came in.
On seeing him, I covered my face with the duvet.
“what do you want ” I asked from under the duvet.
“my avocados ” he blurted out and I immediately removed the duvet when it dawned on me that I dropped the bag of avocado when I was in a haste to follow my mother.
Knowing I don’t have the avocado, I quickly hid under the duvet.
“where’s it ” he asked but I kept mute and said nothing.
The next I knew, he yanked the duvet off of me.
“where’s it ” he asked, looking straight at me.
“I…. I… Uhm” I stuttered.
“where’s it!! ” he yelled and I flinched.
“I sent you out on an errand not to do whatever you said you had to do so where are my avocados ” he said, breaking down the word “avocado “.
“I… Dropped… I mean it dropped ” I stuttered.
“it dropped ” he repeated and I nodded slowly.
“then you owe me ” he said and I arched an eyebrow.
“you’re gonna twerk for me” he blurted out and released it out.
I laughed out till I started tearing up.
“never in your dreams ” I remarked boldly and he smiled wryly.
Wow he looks cute when he smiles like that.
Why haven’t I noticed how cute he was since?
OK why am I even talking about it now?
I closed my eyes and shook off that feeling.
I’m not gonna be a fool again.
I’m not gonna let myself down like I did with Roland.
Never again.
“if you don’t mind, I’ll like to sleep now ” I said and got down from the bed.
I went to the door and opened it wide, giving him the sign to leave.
He scoffed angrily and walked out through the door and I slammed it hard.
I had a quick shower to sober up and I laid on my bed.
My mother is so beautiful, just like me.
I’ll must find her.
I woke up the next day, stretched and yawned then entered the shower.
I came out and dressed in a simple gown.
It’s still very early.
I don’t want that dweeb called Larry to come give me those lame punishments of his.
I went out through my door and headed for the stairs.
Already at the stairs, I saw Larry coming outta his room and our eyes met.
I looked away coz I don’t wanna get lost in those charming eyes of his.
I rushed down the stairs and just when I thought one more step will take me down the last stair case, I slipped and fell. Spraining my ankle in the process making me scream.
“what happened ” Larry asked, rushing down the stairs.
“I hurt my leg ” I pouted as tears already started strolling down my cheeks.
He sighed and carried me in a bridal style and laid me on the couch.
He left and came back with ice.
He placed my leg on his thigh, gently massaging it with the ice while I wince a little.
“you shouldn’t walk with your eyes closed, you’re fond of doing that ” he scolded.
I walk with my eyes closed?
“hey Larry, you shouldn’t talk with your brain unused, you’re fond of acting like you’re brainless ” I said and he flared up.
“who are you to talk me like that ” he asked angrily.
Great! Now he’s angry.
“I’ve got things to do so excuse me ” I said and limped away.

???? Larry’s P. O. V????
.
She’s so stubborn and cute though.
She’s here as a maid but she’s acting like she’s the “madame ”
She’s so pretty and that face, I’m still tryna figure out where I saw her.
I’ve seen her before and I’m sure of it.
I closed my eyes, thinking where I’ve seen her then it struck like lightning.
She was the one I saved from those bad boys.
OMG!!
???? Caitlyn’s P. O. V????
.
I sighed as I got to the kitchen not knowing what to do first.
I moved over to the food stuffs and started contemplating on what to prepare for breakfast.
I settled for lasagna.
Mins later I was done so I took the ditches to the dinning only to meet Larry already seated.
I rolled my eyes and set the table.
“seriously ” he said irritated by the food.
“what” I asked.
“of all the wonderful recipes we have, this is what you could come up with ” he asked.
“but.. ” I was saying but kept shut as he was already walking away.
As if I care.
I sat down, served myself and ate.
After eating, I cleared the table and did the ditches then sat on a couch and settled for TV.
Larry would be in his room cause I haven’t seen him after he angrily left the dining.
Half way through the movie I was watching, the door bell rang.
I rolled my eyes and went to get it.
I opened it to see a girl, blonde, grey eyes.
She’s quite a beauty.
She glared and pushed me aside then went in.
“hey who the hell are you ” I yelled at her.
“and who the fuck are you ” she fired back.
We stood quiet, glaring at each other.
“Cindy ” Larry called and we broke the stare.
“love ” she called and went up to Larry who was at the stairs.
My eyes widen a little when they kissed.
And for a moment, I was angry.
But what do I care?
Maybe she’s his girlfriend.
I rolled my eyes and turned to leave but stopped when that Cindy spoke up.
“honey who’s that rude bitch ” she asked and I scoffed.
“bitch you say ” I asked, doubting my own ears.
“yeah you heard me ” she said boldly.
“now take it back ” I ordered angrily.
No one is fit to call me a bitch, especially not from someone like her.
“or else what ” she asked.
I sprung towards her but Larry stood in front of me, blocking her from me.
“just stop it ” he half yelled and I stared at him angrily with folded fist.
I brushed past them and went up to my room.
I collapsed on my bed and released the breath I didn’t realize I was holding.
So he has a girlfriend?
What does it even concern me?
Aiish I feel like it concerns me.
I got up and went out.
I stopped on my track as I heard moans coming from Larry’s room.
I felt my eyes glistening with tears but I blinked it back.
I’m such an idiot.
After what Roland did to me, I promised not to fall victim again but I just let myself get hurt.
Let me just forget about everything and look for my mom so we can live happily together.
I must find my mother.
I went back to my room and dressed up in something simple, took my bag and went out to the place I met my mother.
She might pass by again, I just hope and pray.

???? Vivian’s P. O. V????
.
Ever since Caitlyn left, Roland has been avoiding me.
And I thought he loves me.
Dad on the other hand doesn’t even care about anything anymore.
I sighed and rested my head on my desk not listening to the lectures that was going on.
After doing 2-3 classes, the bell rang for lunch, Camille and I lazily took our butts to the cafeteria.
We ordered our food and sat to eat.
I sighted Roland at the the other row of seats and we stared at each other until he looked away.
I don’t know why he’s hurting me like this.
I really love him, I really do.
We ate and later went back to class for lectures.
We closed for the day and we went home coz Roland left before we could even go to him.
Love hurts a lot, it hurts.
I’m craving for his love.
Now I know how Caitlyn felt, how hurt she was when Roland told her he doesn’t love her?
But the question now is
Does Roland love me or Caitlyn?
What if he was just having mixed feelings coz we were good friends before?
What if it’s Caitlyn he truly loves?
