Make You Mine(Redemption 2) - Episode 2

 

Philip:

"Please, at least try to get along with Cheryl okay?" Benedicta tell me for the millionth time and I grin.
"Come on. I can handle the spoilt brat_ I mean I can handle her." Benedicta's eyes are enough to get me to change what I said about her friend.
"That was a joke. I'll behave . Scout's honor." I say and raise my hand up.
"Oh my God. This is going to be a disaster." I hear Benedicta say to herself and I make sure not to laugh.
"Hey, I would be good. Promise." I assure her.
"You sure."
"Yes, baby. Now, come here. I miss my baby sister." I say and she reluctantly let me hug her. Home. She smells like home.
"Am sorry for leaving when you needed me Bee." I say and I hear and groan.
"What?"
"Bee. There's this bad luck magnet who calls me that. It's not acceptable." She pouts and I smirk.
"Do I smell a love story in there somewhere?" I ask and she slap my shoulder.
"I have to get back to work. Call me for any emergency of the Cheryl exploding type okay?" She says and I nod.
"Kisses." I call out to her as she zooms off in a hurry.
  Well, I can at least rest now. I am totally famished

. I use the key Bennie gave me to let my self into the house. It's pretty. That rich girl probably designed it. It has her personality written all over it. Orange cottons, throw pillows and lemon couch. She makes it work, I guess.
I walk pass the living room and come to the dining area. My stomach must have noticed my current location because it let's out a loud growl. This guy has to be fed ASAP. I quickly walk on to the bedroom area. There are two rooms and I open the first one I see. Okay, certainly not Cheryl's. There are clothes scattered around the room. It is a mess. Yeap, this is probably Bennie's.
I push my suitcase in and place beside the totally girly bed. Okay, i can't sleep on a Rapunzel bedsheets.
"Sorry sis." I say before pulling on the edges of the bedsheets and undressing the bed.
"Get new silk bedsheets tomorrow." I tell myself as I lie flat on the comfortable bed. I am already dozing off when my stomach makes it's plight known again with another loud growl. You will think it hasn't seen food in days.
"Let's go get you something to calm you down." I say and get up to my feet.

Fruits, soft drink, salad, diet coke. Geez. Doesn't this woman have anything a human being can eat like pizza or something? I slam the fridge door close.
I don't even know how and where to order in port Harcourt. I am starving!
I pray I get lucky in the kitchen.
"Okay, that smells so good." I say to my self as the appetizing smell of something baked reach my nose. My stomach growls again and I think it just said 'that smells great'
"Don't worry buddy. I'll get you some of that." I push the kitchen door open and the first thing I see is a beautiful cake with a pie beside it. Guess who has a sweet tooth? This guy!
I don't wait to be invited before I grab a knife and a plate.
"Whoever owns this wouldn't mind if a small piece is missing." I say and sink the knife into the pie first.
"Oh, yea. Delicious." I wolf down the first slice and I take another and another. Till the pie is down to tiny crumbs. I belch loudly and grin. Whoever made that is a culinary genius.
"Just imagine what the cake will taste like." I say and giggle. Just one slice. I mean I am not that greedy to eat the pie and the cake. I sink my knife into the corner of the cake and take out a slice.
"It's even more delicious, I swear." One slice goes down to belly town and then three more before I start feeling nauseated. I should stop. I drop the knife and the plate on the kitchen counter. My greedy eyes don't want to leave the cake but my stomach has had it's full. Just some water to wash it down.
"Now, where can I find glasses?" I don't see any on the counter so I turn on the balls of my feet to survey the kitchen and my elbow accidentally hit the cake and it comes crashing down to the tiled floor.
"No! Shit! That should have been in my stomach." I lament. What if Cheryl gets mad? What was I thinking? I am a guest and I just ate pie I know nothing about and destroyed a cake.
"I should clean up." That's the least I can do. I'll just apologize and give her money for another pie and cake. With this solution in mind, I cheer myself up as I clean up the kitchen and drag my jet lagged body to my room.

Cheryl:

"Yes ma'am. You can pick up your daughter's wedding cake tomorrow morning." I say into the phone as I insert my key into the door. The door opens even before I twist the key and I wonder if I didn't lock it this morning.
"You know your mother said I can trust you. Don't let us down okay?" Mrs Murphy says through the phone and my lips form a thin line. My mother indeed. Since when did she become supportive. I know that snake and she surely has something up her sleeves. She's setting me up to fail. And I will prove her wrong this time.
"Yes, Mrs Murphy. I even made your husband's favorite apple pie." I say to sweeten the pot.
"Wow. That's nice of you. If you deliver as promised. I'll refer your services to my friends." She says.
"I'll count on that. Tomorrow morning then?"
"Yes Cheryl. Have a nice evening." She says and I nod.
"Bye maam" I say and end the call.
  I am just glad that I have the cake ready. This would be a big break for my business. I know you are probably thinking I don't need to work but it is eminent I start using what I learnt to make living because I am sure daddy would soon discover I have no fiancé and he'll take my precious credit cards. Plus, I want to be independent. I want to have a purpose. Mrs Murphy's order going well would mean I get to cater for her other rich friends.
I forget all about the door and walk to my room to change so I can put finishing touches to the cake in the kitchen.
The first thing I see when I enter my room is my favorite sheets crumpled on the ground. What the hell? I look from the sheets up to my bed and I see a leg peeking out of the covers. That leg is certainly not Benedicta's because it is damn hairy and manly.
"Ok Cher don't freak out. Don't__argggghhhhhhhhhh!!" I slap my hand over my eyes and scream my heads off as the sleeping figure sits up suddenly and my heart nearly drops to my feet.
"What the hell, woman! Will you shut it so I can hear my self?" The familiar voice yells and I freeze. No, it can't be. I peek out my palms and my hands fall down once I see the cocky fool who is on my bed. Phillip.
"Hi Cher." He grins and I have to rub my eyes to be sure my stupid crush on said guy isn't playing tricks on me again. I have certainly had this dream before. I come home to meet Benedicta's insanely hot but rude brother on my bed.
"You are not dreaming lady. Benedicta said I could live here for my short stay in Port Harcourt." He tells me and I frown. She didn't think to inform me? How do I look? I am sure that I look sweaty from delivering bread to the bakery downtown. I self consciously push my wet hair behind my ear before clearing my throat.
"Why didn't she at least warn I mean inform me of this?" I ask.
"She's been trying to reach you." He tells me and I look down at my new phone. Oh, I totally forgot to tell her I got a new one when the last one got stolen last week.
"But__ I don't want to live with you!" I say like a little child.
"Well, you have no choice. I am here for at least three months, I hope less. And so you know, I don't find living with you nice either." He says.
"Suit yourself then! And for the records, my things are off limits to you. Don't touch anything that is mine. Remain on your side of the house or I will cut anything that touches my stuff." I say.
"Whatever." He says.
"Now, for a start. Get the fuck out of my room!" I yell.
"What?"
"You heard me. Get out!" I yell again and walk over to his side to push him out of my bed.
"I said get out. Get out." I repeat as I pull on his really heavy arms. Which are damn hot.

. Shut it Cher. I am taken completely unawares as the devious man pull on my hands and I fall on top of him on the bed.
"What__" I try to stand but he holds my waist down. He looks up into my eyes and I know he's going to kiss me. And this girl has been waiting for this for years. I blink my eyes close, waiting for said kiss only to feel his breathe on my ear.
"Your room is a mess woman." He says and push me off him. I feel so rattled and I just stand stock still as he saunters to my door.
"For a minute there, I think you wanted me to kiss you." He says and I feel my fave go red.
"F*ck you!" I yell and throw a pillow at his back which he easily dodges before walking away.
"Damn you! Oh my God. He'll be here for three months? We are going to kill each other. I guarantee this." I angry take my clothes off and change into something comfortable before storming off to the kitchen and what I see is enough to get smoke coming out of my ears.
"Philip!!!!"
