A CHANGE - CHAPTER 24
🦋HIS FEAR🦋
“Elizabeth” pearl called as she stare at Elizabeth who has been waiting for them.
Kingsley creased his brow in confusion as he watched the two women.
“What? Aren’t you happy to see me?” She demanded with a face full of smile.
“You surprised me” pearl muttered opening her room door.
“That’s what friends do” Elizabeth shrugged but just then her eyes met with Kingsley and she gasped.
“Pearl! Pearl” she half yelled tapping pearl continuously.
“What is it?” Pearl shrugged.
“Are we dead? Are we in heaven already? Because I’m seeing an angel right now” Elizabeth stated staring at Kingsley dreamingly.
Pearl gave her a knock on her head with a chuckle.
“Aish! What’s that?” Elizabeth pouted rubbing the part where pearl knocked whilst using the corner of her to watch Kingsley.
Kingsley saw that his presence is not needed so he made to enter the house when pearl pulled him back.
“Don’t be like this kiddo” she winked and Kingsley felt his heart thumped immediately.
“Kiddo? Did you mean he is your brother? Pearl and you didn’t tell me!” Elizabeth exclaimed.
“Calm down okay? At least let me explain” pearl retorted and she went mute while giggling.
“Kingsley meet my friend Elizabeth, Elizabeth meet Kingsley” pearl introduced them to each other.
“I’m Elizabeth” Elizabeth waved happily.
“Hi” he replied casually with a short smile which disssapear almost immediately.
“Elizabeth, is getting late” pearl said as they entered the house.
“What! Can’t I sleep here?” She asked back.
“You know you can’t, and even if you want to, how can this small room contain the three of us?” Pearl replied and her face turn into a frown.
“Are you chasing me now?” She asked.
“I’m not” pearl replied.
“Okay, I will go but let me stay and say hi to Kingsley” she beamed.
“Your hi is appreciated” Kingsley replied sharply and Elizabeth bite her lips in embarrassment but she quickly replace it with a smile.
“Okay, I guess I should leave but I will come some other time, Kingsley okay?” She said standing up to leave and Kingsley nod his head.
She eventually left their house and pearl breath out a sigh of relief before sitting beside Kingsley on the bed.
“What’s that?” Kingsley demanded immediately she left.
“What’s what?” Pearl asked back.
“Is that how she behaves everytime?” He questioned.
“No, she just like you” pearl replied nonchalantly as she make her way to the kitchen.
“Should I make noodles?” She asked from her small kitchen.
“Yes” Kingsley replied laying on the bed.
Funny how they now get along and rarely fights like before.
Suddenly Kingsley started feeling something crawling and tickling him on his leg from behind and he quickly spranged up from the bed, the bedsheets covering wh@??ver it is.
He took the broom lying on the ground and use it to raise the clothe up, his eyes widened immediately he saw the sight in front of him as he let out an angonizing scream.
“Argh!!!!” He screamed.
