Océane and Adele sat outside on a bench after the family had dinner and the quad had been tucked in be-d. Adele was telling her about the family and her duty in the home.
“Kyle is a grump” Océane suddenly said staring at Kyle who was standing at his window
Adele chuckled “he’s the exact opposite of friendliness and it all started when they returned from Phili-ppines”
“But why? The quads are friendly”
“I think he misses someone cause he travels to Phili-ppines every month, only Maeva knows the whole story”
Océane inhaled de-eply with her eyes still fixed on Kyle. Her once cheerful friend no longer recognized her and he’s so mean and grouchy around her.
“Does he live here?” Océane wanted to know
“No, he lives alone but he visits every Sunday for dinner and spends the night. It’s almost impossible to see him before he leaves Monday morning”
“why?”
“He’s an early bird”
Later, in be-d, her thoughts whirling inside her head, Océane remembered all her beautiful memories with Kyle.
Océane didn’t sleep a wi-nk as she waited for morning so she could see Kyle before he left.
Early the next morning, she c@m£ out of the room she shared with Adele and hid un-der the staircases but unknown to her, it was still 3am and he leaves by 5am.
¤¤¤¤¤
“Océane!” Maeva called in her little voice, gently tapping Océane who had fallen asleep while waiting for Kyle.
Océane sluggishly opened her eyes then remembering she was still waiting for Kyle, she got up with a start.
“Where’s he?” she asked jumping to her feet
“did you sleep here?” Maeva asked and Océane realized it was morning alre-ady and the sun was out
“I c@m£ to get some thing few minutes ago, maybe I had fallen asleep while….” Océane trailed off not knowing any more lies to come up with
“I don’t believe you” Maeva blurted out
“what are you doing here?” Océane asked
Maeva chuckled “This is my house and I wanted to see Kyle but he alre-ady left”
Océane’s countenance changed
“Gotcha! I knew you were also here to see Kyle before he left”
Océane opened her mouth to defend herself but Adele called her from the kitchen.
“you have to go now, dad would be out soon and and he doesn’t miss his morning coffee” Maeva said then wheeled herself out
Océane let out her breath slowly then taking one last glance at the staircase, she plodded to the kitchen. She has missed seeing Kyle and had to wait till the next seven days when he would visit again.
“Good morning Adele” she greeted Adele when she entered the kitchen. Adele had thought her the modes of greeting the previous night.
“where have you been?” Adele asked worriedly, ignoring her greeting
“I…I…never mind”
“talk to me Océane” Adele urged and Océane broke down in tears
“why are you crying?”
“I suddenly remembered my grandmother’s pet cat that died” Océane lied. She had heard that line from a movie last night.
“Is that all?”
She nodded
“you shouldn’t be crying about a dead cat”
“He was a loyal friend”
Adele sighed “we’ll talk about that later but for now, let’s make Rodriguez’s coffee”
“what’s a coffee?”
“if you can remember your grandmothers pet cat, why can’t you remember other things?”
“I really don’t know what a coffee is”
“it’s a drink and Rodriguez loves it black”
“black?”
“without sugar”
Océane nodded “sugar”
Adele took a cu-p and poured h0t water in it “Rodriguez doesn’t like coffee made with a coffee machine” she added coffee powder and stirred it.
“now go serve this to Rodriguez, he’ll be in the dinning”
Océane nodded and walked out with a cu-p and saucer.
“Good morning Sir” she greeted Rodriguez who was re-ading a newspaper in the dinning and he nodded in reply.
She placed the saucer on the table and proceeded to return to the kitchen.
“Kyle forgot to take this file, get re-ady, the driver will take you to his office so you can deliver it to him” Rodriguez prompted
Océane didn’t un-derstand a thing he said buy she was glad she would be seeing Kyle. She returned to the kitchen and helped Adele to prepare breakfast then went to get re-ady.
She entered the bathroom and Adele had alre-ady ran the bath.
“Water” she breathed out excitedly and dove into the bath
“Ouch!” she yelped as she hit her head on the bath
The water was shallow unlike Oceania. She frowned ru-bbing her head then had a quic-k bath. Adele had thought her how to bath the previous day. After bathing, she wore someone of the clothes that was ordered for her then tied her hair up. As a mermaid, she had long, thick, dark hair and she really loved it.
“Are you re-ady?” Maeva asked when she entered the living room dressed up
“yes”
“let’s go” Maeva gave her the file then wheeled herself outside the compound. When they got to where the car was packed, Maeva’s driver carried her into the car then he folded her wheelchair and kept in the car too.
“Come in” Maeva told Océane when she wasn’t ma-king any move to enter the car
“Isn’t he also going to carry me in?”
Maeva chuckled “you’re clumsy, get in alre-ady”
Océane frowned then entered the car.
“we have two hours before my tutor comes” Maeva said as the car cruised out throu-gh the gates
“Tutor?” Océane thought aloud
“I don’t go to school because of my disability so mom got me a tutor”
Océane nodded though she didn’t un-derstand a thing.
They got to Kyle’s company and the car c@m£ to a halt. The driver opened the car door and took Maeva’s wheelchair out then carried her out and sat on the wheelchair.
“are you also waiting for him to carry you out? Maeva asked Océane
“isn’t he also going to carry me out?”
“are you crippled?”
Océane nodded then thought for a while “what’s crippled?”
“Aish!” Maeva face palmed herself “get down alre-ady”
Océane reluctantly got down from the car then pushed Maeva into the building.
“we’ll use the elevator” Maeva said
“what’s an elevator?”
“am being patient with you miss” Maeva snapped “am just 9 but am hell smarter than you” she yelled with her hands raised up in the air
Océane started mimicking her “am being patient with you miss, am his 9 but…. ” she trailed off “what more did you say?”
“Are you crazy?”
Océane nodded
“you’re crazy right?”
“am Océane”
“where in Pluto did you come from?”
“it’s Oceania”
“where’s Oceania?” Maeva wanted to know”
“It’s….”
“little Ms Hernández” a man called taking long strides towards them “it’s nice having you here”
“Good morning Mr Naths” Maeva greeted
“Good morning Mr Naths” Océane mimicked
“who’s she?” Naths asked Maeva in a whisper
“you don’t want to know” Maeva replied in a whisper and Naths chuckled “Is Kyle in his office?” she asked
“yes” Naths replied “use the elevator, the stairs are busy”
“Thanks, we’ll go now” Maeva said then wheeled herself forward and Océane followed behind. They took an elevator then got to Kyle’s office and Maeva knocked softly while Océane just gazed around.
“Maeva!” Kyle exclaimed when he opened the door “what are you doing here?”
“won’t you usher us in?” Maeva asked and Kyle noticed Océane’s pres£nce. Océane was busy staring at him but she wasn’t saying a word. Kyle stepped aside and Maeva wheeled herself in.
“Are you waiting for him to carry you in?” Maeva asked Océane and she shook her head in negation then entered the office.
“you forgot your file” Maeva told Kyle
“do you have it?”
“Océane is with it”
“who’s Océane?” Kyle asked and she pointed at Océane who clenched the file to her che-st
“is she the new maid?” Kyle asked studying Océane
“yes, and she’s my new friend”
Océane just stared at them wi-de eyed like a statue
“what’s wrong with her?” Kyle asked
“I don’t know” Maeva replied with a shrug “she could be crazy at times”
Kyle nodded still staring at Océane “maybe she’s hypnotized” he said
“what could’ve hypnotized her in your office?”
Kyle walked closer to her, peering into her eyes “she looks familiar”
“Nah!” Maeva shook her head “you couldn’t have seen this crazy girl anywhere, maybe you saw her look alike”
“Maybe” Kyle said but he wasn’t really convinced, she looked really familiar to him
“Océane!” Maeva yanked and Océane zoned back to reality “you totally spaced out”
Océane smiled, she had been carried away by her n£¢klace that Kyle still wore. Though the collar of his shi-t did well to hide it, she still managed to see it.
“Give him the file so we can return before my tutor comes” Maeva said then started wheeling herself put of the office. Océane wasn’t too plea-sed with the idea of leaving but she reluctantly gave the file to Kyle and followed Maeva out of the office.
THE HERNÁNDEZ MANSION
Océane paced about in her room restlessly, she was bored staying alone. Adele had gone out and Maeva was with her tutor.
“Aish!” she yelled and ruffled her hair “what do I do?”
She fell on her be-d and cu-mddled herself up. She loved the be-d cause it was soft and comfortable unlike slee-ping in the dungeon. She couldn’t think of anything but Kyle.
“What to do?” she thought and an idea struck her “I’ll just count the strands of hair on my head”
LATER….
“… two thousand six hundred and eighty nine, two thousand six hundred and ninety, two thousand six hundred and ninety one… ” she was dozing off
Adele entered the room and found Océane lying on the be-d with her p@rt of her long hair in her palm as she murmured some numbers.
“Océane!”
Océane j£rked awake and left the strands she was holding and it added to the ones she hadn’t counted.
“Now I have to start all over again” she drawled
“what were you doing?”
“counting my hair”
Adele chuckled “Maeva was right when she said you’re crazy”
“Kyle also thinks am crazy” Océane added sadly
“Being crazy is fun” Adele said then opened the bag she c@m£ in with “I got you this” she said bringing out a set of hair pins
“what’s that?”
“it’s for your hair, it’s too long and you can’t go about with it like that”
Océane t©uçhed her hair “are you going to cut my hair?”
“no, am going to dress your hair neatly” Adele replied and started packing her hair into two pony tails “you’ve got a gold strand” Adele said and Océane remembered that Kyle also admired that stand.
She wished he still remembers her, but even if he still remembers her, it wasn’t going to be easy to recognize the then 14 years old girl with the woman of 22 she had grown to be.
But still, she wanted him to find out she was his Señorita but how was she going to it without him thinking she’s an imposter.
If only she still had his br@celet.
“you look even more prettier” Adele said when she was done
“Thanks”
“where do you come from?” Adele asked and Océane kept mute “don’t tell me you’re a fugitive”
“fugitive?”
“I just hope I won’t be getting into trouble keeping you” Adele said and got up “we’ve got work to do, let’s get started”
Océane followed her out of the be-droom to the laundry room.
“we’ve got lots of laundry to do” Adele said and picked up a laundry basket “those quads don’t bring out their laundry till it’s much”
“what are those?” Océane asked pointing to the clothes in the basket
“They’re dirty clothes Océane, what’s wrong with your head?”
Océane frowned and t©uçhed her head “nothing is wrong with it”
“Never mind, let’s get started alre-ady”
¤¤¤¤¤
Kyle couldn’t st©p wondering where he had seen Océane, but she looked really familiar to him. He didn’t concentrate in work that day as he thought of the familiar Océane and his Señorita. He wondered why she c@m£ into his mind when he thought of his Señorita.
A knock c@m£ on the door and he asked whoever it was in.
“Good morning” Ninon, his secretary greeted as she entered his office.
Ninon was a young woman in her early twenties and very devoted to her job but her devotion was as a result for her feelings for her boss, Kyle.
“The board meeting is about to start” She informed
Kyle sighed, how was he going to concentrate in a meeting in literally forgot because he was thinking about his Señorita.
“I’ll be late for the meeting”
Ninon dropped the cl!pboard she was holding and rolling her eyes she said “Hernández would be meeting with The Ximena tourist board, you can’t afford to be late for that meeting Kyle”
Kyle wasn’t shocked that she called him by his first name instead of addressing him with ‘Sir’like other employees, it wasn’t the first time she was doing it.
“Sir” he corrected then said “you nee-d to know your place here Ninon”
She scoffed “I chose to be your secretary doesn’t make me an ordinary employee here, my dad holds 96% of shares in the company”
“Then quit working cause your name still appears in the list of Hernández employees” Kyle stated then got up and left the office.
Ninon was a thong in his flesh but his dad won’t let him change her cause her dad was a share holder in the company and the two were friends.
He took an elevator to the board room which was alre-ady filled with board members from Ximena and Hernández. Even Rodriguez was pres£nt.
“You’re late” Melvin his best friend told him as he took his seat beside him
“Just what I wanted” Kyle said not minding that Rodriguez was glaring at him
¤¤¤¤¤
“you really nee-d to work on your punctuality” Rodriguez scolded Kyle when the meeting was over and they headed out
“my secretary isn’t helping”
“Ninon is a good girl and she’s efficient” Rodriguez said
“That means am punctual dad, I c@m£ exactly the time she told me the meeting was about to start”
“you always put the blame on Ninon”
Kyle didn’t say anything again till they got to the lot.
“I’ll be coming over tonight” Kyle said as Rodriguez entered his car
“but it isn’t Sunday yet” Rodriguez said
“That’s something I nee-d to do and it’s really important”
“What is it?”
“It’s about Maeva’s disability, I met a doctor and he wants to see her but I nee-d to explain things to her first, Maeva hates doctors”
“Alright” Rodriguez said “see you then”
LATER IN THE NIGHT
“no way am I seeing a doctor” Maeva yelled when Kyle told her about the doctor
“Don’t you want to walk like your sisters?” he asked calmly trying to pacify Maeva who was alre-ady in tears
“I do nee-d a doctor”
“It’s not going to hurt trust me”
“you said the same thing the last time you took me to a doctor but the crazy doctor almost cut off my legs”
Kyle chuckled “He wasn’t going to cut off your legs Maeva, it was p@rt of the test”
“I don’t nee-d a doctor to walk, none of you saw a doctor before walking”
“Maeva… ”
“Am not seeing a doctor” Maeva interrupted with a note of finality
Kyle sighed in frustration then said “Am never going to visit again if you don’t see a doctor”
“Don’t do that Kyle” she said on tears
“I don’t like seeing you on this wheelchair”
“you’ve tried your best but it isn’t working”
“am not tired of trying” Kyle said and ca-ressed her cheek “I want to see you walk like Maëlle, Maëlys, and Maryse”
Maeva bur-st into tears and he hvgged her “sure it’s not going to hurt?”
“It won’t hurt”
“we’ll go with Océane
“The crazy girl?”
Maeva nodded
“you’re not going to cry if you’re with her?”
Maeva nodded
“Then she’s going with us”
THE NEXT MORNING
“what’s a hospital?” Océane asked when Maeva told her she would be going with them to the hospital
“a hospital is a place where sick or injured people are treated” Maeva explained
“why are we going there?” Océane wanted to know
“to see a doctor” Maeva replied
“what’s a doctor?” Océane asked and Kyle who was eating chocked on his food and started coughing
“Give him water” Maeva said and Océane hurriedly gave him a glas-s of water that was on the table
“it’s a good thing you didn’t ask what water is” Maeva said rolling her eyes
“what’s water?”
