Episode 13
Lydia stared at the wedding gown she just finished designing putting final touches to it; being a known blogger she refused all the designs in their magazine and insisted on something exceptional. Quoting her; she said she couldn’t do what she has criticized others in her blog

.

The girls job where all divided, Cindy takes care of anything baking and wedding decorations, Ritsy and Nelly deals with their uppermost customers designing their Ankara cloths while she is always stuck with insatiable brides who wants something out of this world, but the best things is that they are ready to pay any amount just to get what they want.

She sighed and sat down exhausted.

“the bride is on her way here, she just called our line now”

“and hey don’t freak out, she is just another customer and treat her as one, remove that blogger stuff in your mind; I can see how jittery your legs are just by looking at the dress, if she doesn’t like it, its her loss and she can say anything she wants in her blog” Cindy retorts and left to continue her baking

Lydia breaths in hard to relax her muscles and start arranging her office, she can hear Ritsy and Nelly busy in their offices to meet the many demands coming their way.

*****

Although she took all measures to steady herself, she can still feel herself stuttering in front of Binny (the blogger) when she appeared, but the warm smile on her face made her to relax and start explaining her designs to Binny.

After her explanation, Binny sent her escorts to the general office to try on the dress; when they left Lydia helped her wear the dress.

Binny stared at her image in the mirror without expression and kept quiet. Lydia’s face turned white thinking she made a mistake or a design that does not come up to her test not until a tiny curve of smile spread on Binny’s face.

“I love it; I feel like the most beautiful bride in the whole world”

“You indeed are” Lydia says now as a madam to her client

Binny held the sides “I need you to adjust this place, my flat tummy that I worked hard for need to be shown more; I need to flaunt it”

Lydia nods and takes note of it.

She removed the dress and settles down, “This is my invitation card; you are invited” she pauses

“I need you to help me wear this baby that day; I will send an official car to come pick you up”

Lydia accepts the invitation happily, this is not the first official invitation she was invited to but being able to satisfy Binny who was said to be arrogant shows she is improving and more official works to come which means more money and publicity once she posts it in her blog.

She grins satisfied at her retreating back

“oh shit” she shouts as her eyes flies to the clock; she has not bring her daughter back from school. She forgot totally that her friend’s kids that help bring her back have all graduated from the school.

She grabbed her key, mumbles incoherent words to her friends and soon enough she is on the road. She can’t afford to enter into another argument with her clever daughter. 

As she eased into the car park she saw Lydia with an earpiece nodding to the music “when did Lydia turn to a music freak; last time she checked Lydia hates music or did she hide that from her too”

She honked her car and waits for her to come to the car, instead she rose and climbed the stairs.

“Was she ignoring her now” that infuriates her,
she knows that she is late but it’s high time she knows that her mother is always busy and stop the bitchy attitude.

She slams her door and presses the automatic lock; she turns angrily determined to teach the young girl the lesson of her life but saw Lydia coming down through the other stairs smiling at her.

When she got near, she hugged her “Mom you are right on time we just finished our math’s lesson”

Lydia got angry and slapped her, why on earth does she always have to choose how to act around her; she is still a kid for God’s sake. A while ago she ignored her and went upstairs, now she is down here smiling all innocent.

Lydia (n) held her cheek surprised that her mother could slap her; she held herself from saying any hurtful word, climbed the car angrily but quietly and refused to say a word.

“why did you have to ignore me when you saw me earlier” Lydia asked when she entered the car.

Lydia (n) never said anything; she has been through a lot by being called up twice for the same thing because of a new girl who enrolled newly in their school which is being referred to as her look alike and strangely bear the same name too. She resolved to go and find out later about the girl but classes got busy until now; she has wanted to discuss that with her mom but here she is, welcomed with a slap.

Tears streamed down her cheeks but she wiped them immediately, why will she ignore her mother when she packed her bags immediately she heard her peculiar horn. She has always tried to be a strong daughter to her mother; she doesn’t want her to feel much of a burden of raising her alone without a father which she never bothered to ask who her father is hoping that one day her mother will tell her. She folds her hands and decides to sleep to avoid getting into heated argument.

***
Lydia glanced sideways at her strong minded independent daughter and then the facts came glaring at her; the facts that the girl she saw earlier was wearing a different uniform, different hairstyle and above all using earpiece made her knew she misjudged her daughter but she was sure they really looked alike for her to think she is her daughter.

Why didn’t she consider all these before reacting, all was she just blinded with anger over a simple action?

She turned and faced her front, too proud to apologize; a mother is never wrong. She said in assurance, maybe its time she train her daughter the way she wants it.
 

*******
So if you were the mother what will you do?

 

Episode 14

Immediately the car came to a halt, Lydia (n) rushed down and ran up the stairs to her room.
Lydia chased behind her but she locked the door to her face; she banged on the door

“young woman will you open this door and listen to me” She banged continuously until it reduced to a knock yet she never opened the door.  

Angry and infuriated, she left the door “if this is how it is to raise a kid then she is never going to marry” she blames Vicky in her heart for leaving the stubbornness in him in their daughter to continuously remind him that he is the father but where the hell is he to come and control his daughter.

She has always wished for an affectionate daughter that will be all smiles and easy with her. Someone to be close at heart but here she is battling with the constant reminder that Vicky is pat of her. Her mind flashed back to the day she saw him in school. He was holding a small girl, does that mean he is married and forgot all about her after all the promises or maybe……… no she don’t have to still think of him, she is sure he has already moved on.

Afterwards, as she lay on her cushion, listening to one of her call records with Vicky; she wondered what was wrong with her. Why didn’t she find it easy to forget all about him, “was she that in love or so easy to be sworn over by words” of course he made her believe he worshipped the ground she walked on “was that love too or was she naïve about love and thought that to be love too”

If it wasn’t would she feel so good and proud now that she has his baby? She put across video call to Ritsy and Nelly; they always give her tips on how to follow her daughter and sometimes laugh at her stupid way of trying to be firm.

Either ways she feels comfortable and at ease talking with them and as always today was one of its kinds as she share the news of her invitation to them which she forgot to share with them before rushing to bring back her annoying daughter.

She rolls her eyes as she remembers that.

“you know you should have listened to the young girl and know what really happened” Ritsy chips in

“and also you confirmed the facts yourself, the different hair and attitude should tell you that that wasn’t your daughter, maybe you mistook her for another person” Nelly adds in support of Ritsy

Lydia nods “yes you are right, Lydia might be independent and stubborn like Vicky but she still have the soft part in her; imagine her pecking me when I dropped her at school”

The girls roll their eyes “must you call his name anytime we are discussing”

“the guy is gone and gone for good; forget him and move on. Besides who says she took after him when you are the most annoying girlfriend I ever have”

“ewwww, the last time I checked that was why you love me” Lydia says sticking out her tongue.

“And I am unloving you now”

“lol, that’s a big impossible”

Ritsy laughs at someone touching her from behind before facing the girls “Duty calls baby girls; I gaht to go”

“don’t make another babyooo” Nelly retorts at her

“who cares, my last baby is yearning for a younger one, its no crime if I make them four” she mimics and ends the call.

Nelly winks at Lydia “have to go girl; use the blanket in case you are feeling cold” she says before they bade each other good night and ends the call.

Lydia laid on the cushion, hoping to go inside when she starts feeling sleepy but sleep is a thief that you barely know when you have been stolen until you are back.

***********
The following week, she saw Lydia(n) differently for the first time in her life, she started appreciating her daughters independent life.

They carried on peacefully not wanting to discuss what caused them to quarrel; she believed that one day they will trash it out like mother and daughter

She tried bribing her by waking up on time to cook breakfast and Lydia(n) for once acknowledged her mom’s effort to be a good mother.
 

Lydia(n) will soon be a teenager and Lydia was so very happy looking forward to celebrating her sweet sixteen birthday; she has been watching a lot of movie where that is being celebrated and she wouldn’t miss it for anything, it is still five years away, five fucking years and here she is fantasizing. 

she sighs but one thing disturbs and pricks her mind each time she looks at her daughter. She has grown to a young beautiful lady that men never allows her to rest.

She always goes to bed worried and scared of her daughter will turn out to be lucky or failed like her.

. Got pregnant without being married and the worst you gave birth to the replica of the man who got you pregnant and disappeared.

She pauses from chopping vegetable and looks at her daughter cutting cabbage and wonders if they are going to have the same fate or had she been a good mother all this while.    

***********
What do you think, has she been a good mother or will they both have the same fate?
     

Episode 15

Stacy wrapped the blanket around her as she watches Vicky walk to the bathroom bare of any cloth.

She smiled and relaxes happier for their s*x life; soon enough all his mind will be on her and they will get married.

“wow, what a brilliant idea” she praised herself

She smiled as an idea struck her mind; she slid off the blanket and went to join Vicky in the bathroom. She walked under the shower and wrapped her hands around Vicky; Vicky shudders at the touch but relaxed as the warmth ran through him.

He planned on going to see the doctor after shower but that can wait; he has to take care of what is in front of him now. He turned cupped Stacy’s wet face and kissed her.

Stacy is really a nice and adventurous lady that he must explore; it is high time he thinks of something good with his life. Maybe find work and marry this lady that has stick with him since he has nothing to offer.

He forgets everything from when he feels kidnapped by her; he throws caution to the wind and savors the food served to him. Stacy smiled as Vicky took her there and then under the shower; she has always tried that but it never worked and now the sweetness with which he treats her shows he is finally accepting her.

Her face gleamed with joy as they apply cream on their body; she can sense herself being the wife of the king of Ubala kingdom and CEO of the world leading company. To be sure of that she has to lure him more; she stretches her leg on the nightstand applying her cream slowly as if she is doing advert for a company; she muffled a smile knowing that Vicky was stealing glances at her legs. That is one of her greatest possession, her straight long slim legs she loves showing off in a bumshot.

She cleared her throat “my friend Binny invited me to her wedding and I want us to go”

“us…. Together” Vicky asks astounds

“yes” she whispers

“the blogger” Vicky asked 

“yes, any problem with that” Stacy asked eagerly

“I hate bloggers, many reporters will be there and it will be everywhere in the blog for everybody to read and see”  

Stacy pouts her mouth; that was part of her plan; many people seeing them together and she will make sure the reporters around snaps tons of picture.
 

She walked slowly over to him and hugged him “lets just socialize for a bit okay” she persuades sexily

Vicky bits his lips for a while “done; it pays to socialize” he says lightly

Stacy lits up for joy and hugs him, she cants wait to rub it to her friends face that finally she has a man and a rich one at that.

She closes her eyes dreaming of the looks on their faces when they show up in the same uniform “yes, they must go in a uniform”

Stacy flickers her eyes open as Vicky pecked her; “have called you multiple times but you never answer” Vicky asked

“Never mind me; its girls stuff” Stacy answers flashing him a smile

Vicky shrugged “no problem; I have something to attend to”

Stacy pouts her mouth “you have to leave me”

“no, I will be back before you know it” he pecked her now fully on the lips and left.

********
He inhaled the fresh air that greet him as he stepped outside “that was dam good” he thought and smiled at the episode under the shower

He honked his car and the gate man opened the door for him and he drove out.

Stacy listened impatiently at the caller tune and muffled a smile when she heard Binny’s voice at the other end

“Babe I was about to call you now, I need you to be there a day before my wedding please and don’t say no cus you escaped being my chief bridesmaid” Binny said in a rush before Stacy can say anything.

Stacy bits her lips that her show is about to be cancelled out

“are you there”

“yes I am; consider it done but I am actually coming with my boyfriend” Stacy states slowly but firm

“Boyfriend? You never told me you have one” Binny asks surprised 

“well yes, more of a fiancée and I am telling you now” Stacy replied rolling her eyes

“wow, he proposed already”

“not really but he will soon propose”  Stacy replied not happy that she was caught sooner than she started lying

“that will be great; he can come and meet you there”

“okay but can you do something for me”

“I know you Stacy; you can never do something for someone just like that”

Stacy just laughed it off “can your designer get a couples clothing for me and my boyfriend no fiancée”

Binny grinned “I can handle it; once its done I will send it over”

“okay girlfriend; I love youuu and here is a kiss for you” Stacy shouts kissing the phone. 

Binny laughed “alright, will send you the address of the hotel…. See ya”

“bye”

Stacy smiled that her plan is gradually falling in place; she would have loved both of them walking into the hall together but it wouldn’t be bad she going to receive him. She would make sure everybody’s attention is on them.

******

Lydia is going to the same wedding as Stacy and Vicky, worst of all she will design their clothing too.

This is getting interesting; who can predict what is going to happen

“mine they will fight…. Lol”

Another one, what do you think of Stacy?
