A CHANGE - CHAPTER 2
WILLIAMS MANSION
Mrs. Williams is dead worried about Ryan that hasn’t come back home.
Beads of sweats formed on her forehead as she parade the sitting room.
She tried his number for the upteemth time but still,he isn’t picking.
“God please have mercy” she muttered under her breath as she uses her hand to wipe the beads of sweats on her forehead.
And with the last hope in her she tried Ryan’s number again and he still doesn’t pick.
“I just hope he is fine” Mrs. Williams said resting her head on the cushion she is sitting on.
Just when she close her eyes, the parlour door open and Ryan entered.
She sprang up immediately she see Ryan.
“What the heck is your problem?? Just for you to go to that single place to help me to…..the rest of her words got stuck in her throat when she saw Ryan groaning in pain.
“And what happened to you??” She asked staring at him confusely.
“Ma’am, I have already gotten the document and was on my way home when a trailer hit me” Ryan lied groaning painfully as if he is in a deep pain.
“After that??” Mrs. Williams asked with an unconcern expression. she is obviously not buying his lie.
“The trailer would have crushed me if not that I know how to fly” Ryan pressed on and Mrs. Williams glare at him which sent fear down his body.
Mrs Williams has always been a firm woman who doesn’t buy lies quickly but she gets scared quickly.
“You see ma’am…..Ryan was interrupted by Mrs. Williams
“Shut up already and hand over the document” Mrs Williams said stretching her hand.
Ryan scratch the back of his head in embarrassment before handling it over to Mrs. Williams stretching hands.
Though he is still feeling slight pain on his forehead.
“And get out of this place” Mrs. Williams ordered and he quickly run out of the parlour.
“I don’t understand why God has to sorround me with stupid people”Mrs. Williams muttered going through the files.
It wasn’t long after Mrs. Williams settled down to go through the files when jasmine climbed down the stairs.
Mrs Williams looked up to see him dressed. Probably ready to go out.
“And to where gentleman??” Mrs. Williams asked staring at Kingsley who has gotten to her side by then.
“Yo mom, I’m going to paint the town red. Yunno baby boy must take the family name round the world” Kingsley replied winking at his mother.
“Kingsley are you out of your senses?? Isn’t it just now I was just warning you about this your useless attitude of going out to useless places!!” Mrs. Williams yelled and Kingsley groaned.
“Yunno mom, when you shout too much..high blood pressure…” He complete the sentence with a wink.
“You are sick!! It is your father’s family that will have high blood pressure” Mrs. Williams said and kingsley chuckle.
“Anyhow mom, the boy is gone” Kingsley said and with that being said he went out of the house.
“Kingsley!! Kingsley!!…..she pause to take her breath.
“God don’t let this boy be the end of me” she prayed before sitting back on the cushion.
PEARL’S STREET
Pearl is just coming back from her hawking. Today’s sales was really good despite the fact that the fight almost ruin her day but sales lighten it up.
She is full of smiles as she walk to her house. She was just few minutes away from her house when she heard a voice screaming her name.
She stop to hide somewhere as she peep at who is calling her name.
She see that is Jacqueline, the lady she bought plates from recently and hasn’t pay her.
“Aish…. I thought I promised this crazy lady that I will pay her by end of the month” pearl thought staring at Jacqueline who is busy calling out her name to come out.
“I will deal with you and show you why people don’t dare me” pearl said with a smirk playing on her lips as she walks around gathering stones.
after gathering enough stones, she walks back to where she is hiding and from her hidden place she started throwing the little little stones at the lady.
The first stone she throw hit her at her buttocks and she stopped screaming as she looks around for what hit her but no sign of anyone around.
Jacqueline was still staring around when another one hit her at her forehead.
“argh!” she let out a painful groan as she hold her forehead and pearl chuckle from her hidden place.
pearl throw another stone and it hit her at her leg and with one last glance at the house Jacqueline run away while pearl burst into laughter.
“you should have wait and let me show you the true meaning of pearl” pearl said amidst laughter as she walks to her little house.
“God thank you for today. today’s battles fought and dusted”pearl prayed and when she remember Jacqueline expression when she threw the stone she burst into another round of laughter.
