HAPPY NEW MONTH...... 

***

Stacy stretched her lazy self off from the bed, glanced at the sleeping Vicky and smiled; probably tired from last night work.  Every night she makes sure she goes at least two rounds with Vicky before they sleep; she has exhausted almost every style she knew on bed.

Since the episode at the wedding, she has doubled her steps in making sure Vicky is hers, although Vicky assured her countless times that he is all hers yet what happened at the wedding made her more nervous that he might go seeking for information.

She looked at him sleeping peacefully on the bed and wonder if he is really potent; how many years with him yet no pregnancy and just few months with that witch and she is pregnant, twins at that or was she barren. 

She shudders at the possibility of that but waved it off; she has always been cautious with the doctors she goes to for ab*rtion.

She took the last of the pregnancy kit she bought earlier at the beginning of the week from the cabinet where she hid it from Vicky’s eyes, peed on it; but as always the NO sign glared at her. 

The NO seems to be making fun of her and she smashed it on the wall angrily.

She has grown tired of peeing on many test kits yet nothing to show for it; she breathes in and out to calm herself down, she has other matters to handle.

They will be traveling down to Ubala the coming weekend and to make sure she is on the safe side she has to be in good book of Lydia(x) since she is very close to Vicky

She finds it very hard to tally with the daughter of that witch but she has to make use of her now and maybe discard her later.

“Arise and shine, sunshine; its morning already and we have to cook for your Dad” Stacy says sounding as nice as she could; seeing that Lydia(x) is not moving she walked to the window and parts the curtain.

She taps her gently “wake up” 

Lydia(x) infuriated by the tap burrowed into the blanket “leave me alone; it’s not yet time” she murmured and closed her eyes.

She expected Stacy to get angry and bang the door but instead she sat down on her bed and pats her lovingly

“Sweetheart, you have to wake up; lets make something for us to eat; cook with me please” Stacy said stretching the please, already tired of begging 

Lydia flipped her eyes under the blanket, did she just refer to her as sweet heart; this must definitely be a dream. 

She could remember when she tried bonding with her but all she could get was cold shoulders and now she even called her sunshine. 

She peeped from under the blanket to make sure the person that planted her sweet ass as she calls it was the almighty Stacy.

Stacy heaved a sigh of relief as she saw Lydia(x)’s peeping eyes; that means she is making progress. She tickled her “come on we are going to make jollof rice with fresh tomatoes and fresh fish

She threw that as a bait cus she knows Lydia(x) could kill for jollof rice with fresh tomatoes, she has deliberately denied her that as a punishment for being the fruit of what she hates so much. 

Lydia(x)’s face brightened on the thought of eating that, the last time she ate it was on her birthday when Vicky prepared it for her “if this lady wants to get her with that then she really got her”  

She jumped off from the bed “alright lets go cook; I have some cooking skills I learnt that I will teach you…… from Vicky doh” she quietly adds and ran off to the kitchen.

Stacy sighed “she is not that bad” she concludes and joined her in the kitchen

********** 
“and it is done; all we have to wait for now is for it to be done” Lydia(x) declared on covering the pot

Stacy couldn’t help but admire her smart way of cooking, she was the one that brought the idea of cooking the food but she knows nothing of it except boiling rice.

“you know how to cook” she compliments 

“yea, Vicky taught me as you cant cook, I wonder why you choose to cook this morning; if I have left you the food would have been a disaster” Lydia(x) retorts and starts washing the dishes.

Stacy winced at that; she felt the urge of slapping the devil out of her but she needs to still be the sweet aunty.

She swallowed hard and walks to her; “you are lucky to have someone to teach you; my parents died at a tender age” she surprised herself as to how smooth she lies, her parents are very much alife in the village

. She is the prodigal daughter that left her parents because she couldn’t bear their level of poverty; she said that to draw pity from Lydia(x). 

Lydia(x) paused in her washing, turned and faced her “I am so sorry about that”

“Never mind; it’s not your fault they left me at such a tender age” 

Seeing that she has drawn her pity she decides to chip in something else “will you be free tomorrow”

Lydia(x) stared at her 

“I will want you to accompany me to shopping tomorrow; you could buy as much clothes you want”

“Shoes inclusive” Lydia(x) asks maintaining eye contact 

Stacy hesitated but she couldn’t afford to loose her enthusiasm “yes shoes inclusive”

Lydia(x) smiled and turned back to washing the dishes “I will be free tomorrow, so it’s a deal”

“Check the pot of rice” 

Stacy hissed lightly, this girl sure has a way of pissing her off; she mourns the loss of the money she will spend but she has to endure and get Vicky first. The first thing she will get rid of will be her.

After sometimes she clears her throat to get Lydia(x) attention that have been quiet since 

“the woman at the wedding” she began 

“Was there anything wrong with her” Lydia(x) chips in without waiting for her to finish 

“Do you know her” Stacy asked ignoring the look on Lydia(x) face

She hesitated “she is the mother of my friend in school; do you hear me say mother, yes a mother unlike you”

Stacy once again ignored the last statement “do you like her” she asks

Lydia(x) laughed “not just liking her, I would love my Dad to marry her and me and my friend sisters; I heard she is single” 

“What, you bitch” Stacy was tempted to shout but instead she started crying, she has to make her hate that witch who is her mother too. 

Lydia(x) surprised at the outburst decides to ask 

“what really is the matter” 

“are you saying that all my years with Vicky whom you assumed to be your father you would be more than glad to allow another woman to snatch him from me” Stacy says in-between sobs 

“oh please, was he yours before; you were just giving him the fuck he needed besides if you think you can use this food and shopping to get me on your side then forget it” 

She eyed the rice “I will still eat it doh, I cooked it not you” she starts dishing out the food.

“WTF, you ungrateful bitch” Stacy shouted inside her heart and wanted to pounce hard on her but instead she bent down and continued crying, she has to perfect her act.

“What is happening here” Vicky asked on entering the kitchen, he sighted Stacy crying at the corner and rushed over to her

“Lydia(x) what happened to her”

She turned from dishing the food “she is just jealous over a woman that has no ill intentions” 

Vicky laughed but stopped as Stacy sniffed “is that true sweet heart, I told you I am going nowhere; I am all yours” 

 Stacy cleaned her eyes immediately “really”

“Yes, really” 

She smiled and pecked him “I love you”

Vicky never replied but she was so overjoyed to notice, in fact he never replies to her numerous and constant saying of I love you.

He dragged her off the ground “come with me, Lydia(x) bring our food” 

“okay” she replies flatly, sick of the way Stacy always grope on Vicky

“Stacy what of the shopping tomorrow” she asked infront of Vicky so that Stacy will not dare refuse 

“Yea sure, we will still go” 

“Are you guys going for shopping without me” 

Stacy angry that Vicky never made and effort to stop Lydia(x) from calling her by her name was too angered to reply him.

Lydia(x) rolled her eyes “of course not; its girls outing but we promise to get you something” 

“Alright that’s cool”

Stacy left them and walked to the dinning “that Lydia(x) is really a torn in her flesh; everything she does is always perfect in the eyes of Vicky; what was she thinking bringing father and daughter together. Surely just a small time, she will get married to Vicky bore him a son who will be the next king and viola she will eliminate that b*tch” 

The thought of that brought a smile on her face and she digged in on the food place before her.

*Stacy laid on Vicky’s lap relaxing after they finished eating watching television, they were watching the scene where a girl was poisoning a guys food and it clicks her mind; she forgot to add her regular dose to Vicky’s food and that was because Lydia(x) was the person that cooked and served the food. 

 “Relax girl, will still perfect the plan at night” she assured herself
Vicky cleared his throat, he has been talking to Stacy but her mind was elsewhere 

“Sorry, forgive my manners; what did you say”

“You said we have somewhere to travel this weekend”

“yes, just wait and see; it’s a surprise and you will love it”

 Vicky just nods and concentrates back at the television; he is not so eager to travel but for the sake of escaping Stacy nagging and the doctor says travelling will make him remember things

“uhhmmm….” Vicky m*aned as wave of pleasure run through him. He looked down and saw Stacy in between his legs; he looked at the clock disturbed that if he ventures into this then the possibility of going to meet his doctor today will be crashed.

. He was about to resist when another cold pleasure ran through his veins, he couldn’t stop now or else his little man will be mad at him. He closed his eyes to enjoy the moment.

Stacy smiled immediately he closed his eyes; he does that when the pleasure is too much for him to assimilate. At first she wasn’t comfortable with that cus she likes eye contact but as far as that gets him to moan her name not the name of her rival then she can manage. 

She snapped out of her mind as Vicky started jerking; she smiled. This is the end of phase one. Vicky opened his eyes and lifts her off her feet “and phase two began” she murmurs as they enters into their bedroom

************* 
“are you sure this is my village” Vicky asks for the up tenth time

“yes” Stacy replied bored by the repeated question 

“calm down, we will soon be there”

Vicky relaxed his tensed muscles and looked around “if we are really travelling down to my village why didn’t Lydia(x) come along with us”

“because she does not belong here and someone might recognize the striking resemblance between you two especially your parents” she wanted to say but instead she laid her hands on his laps and smiled “we couldn’t have her miss school right, because we are coming down to your home town” 

“but its weekend and we will be back before Monday” 

Stacy smiled “we are here to stay”

“what”

“shhhh, you will found out why; come down first and meet your family” 

Stacy and Vicky got down from the car and met a group of people dancing, it was as if they were celebrating something and to calm down their questioning look seven rounds of local gong were released into the air as the people sighted Vicky and shouts that the prince is finally back filled the air”

“Am I the prince” he asked Stacy 

“Yes you are and behave, your mother is coming” Stacy says hastily and smiled at Uju (Mrs. Okike) as she rushed to hug Vicky

And as the doctor assured Vicky during their therapy session he recognized his mother immediately their skin touched; the closeness filtered his brain, he can never forget his mothers hug feelings. He engulfed her in a tight hug; he can see his father standing afar wearing his kingly regalia.

His parents appeared so old to him and he regrets not regaining his memory about them sooner and take care of them.

He glanced at Stacy’s calm behavior, “she really has answers to many unanswered questions” 

His welcome back was so much celebrated and of course based on instinct his parents took Stacy to be his wife although they were little bit disappointed and happy. Disappointed because they thought they will choose wife for him but happy that at least the lady helped to bring back their son.

“My daughter you are welcome” Mr. Okike says patting Stacy with his royal fan

“Take them inside and allow them to rest, tomorrow we discuss about your coronation coming up soon”

Uju bowed to his husband and took them in, she is more than happy that her son is back and even with a wife; she will be expecting her grandchildren soon, shame to her enemies 

Stacy beamed satisfied at the thought of crowning Vicky king which automatically makes her the queen; finally she has beat Lydia to that but first things first she will make sure Vicky marries her and she bears a son. She is close to success.
