PRISS

Summer time!!!

Zavrina and Kelly had been dropped at Star camp yesterday by their driver, when Dad got back from work,after dessert, he brought up the idea of having a family picnic at a beach resort over the weekend.

"Hi",Tenola felt a hand dabbing her shoulder we were both walking around the beach, Mum and the others were at only where God knows, we'd stopped to see some couples kissing when Tenola heard the word with a dab on her shoulder. Turning back,we saw the unbelievable.

Yosola!

"Hi",a man's voice greeted.The unexpected.
Tenola's Dad!

Tenola was extremely stunned on sighting them as she was short of words but I bailed her out by talking to Yosola.
"What are you doing here?",my question being a little harsh.

She scoffed. How dare her? It was as if I should punch that stupid face of hers.
"Daughter, how're you doing?",he asked though it was as clear as crystal that he wasn't sincere as he smiled.
Tenola batted her eyelashes before responding,"Fine"

"So what are you guys doing here? I've never dreamed of meeting you here",Yosola mentioned as she beamed with smiles-treacherous smiles.
"We work here now",I responded proudly. I could sense a feeling of dismay now lodged in Yosola's stomach, whatever! I shrugged.

"That's nice",Tenola's dad commented.
"And you guys?",Tenola inquired as she tossed a glance at me before looking back at her wanton dad.
A smile of
pleasure fitted his face as he drew Yosola closer to him as if she would run away.

Who cared?,we didn't give a damn!

"We're here for our honeymoon",he announced with Yosola grinning so much as if her lips would crack,as if it was something to be proud of, as if it can be heard of that she got married to her closer friend's dad,as if it was nice to marry someone old enough to be her dad,someone who was her dad's agemate.

Tenola chuckled at their stupidity. They had been planning the wedding before we left Nigeria, hopefully, Tenola had believed the marriage wouldn't push through but the hope was dashed. Yosola,her friend,the only friend who was willing to listen to her, to advice her and coax her to go out with her whenever I always refused, to do so many things I wasn't interested in with her was now the one who stabbed her in the back, who betrayed her trust by getting married to her dad-the casanova.

"We'll be going to California next week,,ensure you visit us",Yosola, that useless swine,that chump and stupid fool uttered out of the gutter mouth of hers.
"That's right",Tenola's dad added touching the stud earrings on his pierced ear,he was obscene.Tenola gave a caustic cackle.

"Sure".
They both walked away with a complacency that was absolutely disgusting as our eyes followed them,my face registered contempt while Tenola's face showed hatred till they were out of sight,turning askance,Tenola and I walked back to our room quietly.

I understood Tenola was still upset with different thoughts tumbling in her head.Tenola's parents got divorced as soon as I got freed from bondage, when I started staying with grandma. She was dropped off at grandma's place at the tender age of ten with her mommy never turning back. Tenola had isolated herself then but granny and I had helped her,ever since then she'd disliked her parents.

It wasn't until a year later that we learnt her mother had disappeared with her ex-husband's twin brother and was staying at Houston, all she did was speak with Tenola on the phone and send her toys. Her dad on the other hand was a great womanizer,all he did was send money to Tenola or ask her to visit him, my mind travelled back to when we visited him,at that time we were in our last year in secondary school, granny had actually been the one who took care of us,,he had made advances towards me and had almost raped me if not for the sudden appearance of one of his girlfriends, Tenola at that period had gone to his study which was on the second floor and at such she had been unable to hear my screams.

Yuck!it sucks to remember that ugly scene, to remember that worthless man who was as useless as a chocolate teapot. He's one of those reasons I didn't intend to get married. Presently,Yosola being his ninth wife amongst numerous girlfriends would certainly end up divorcing him but not until she makes him go bankrupt. That manipulative witch!I'd never for once liked her,I really can't fathom why Tenola played with her.

I'd decided to mention Tenola's childhood to show her real relationship with Priss.So how was it?Kindly click on the star down there👇 if you loved this chapter.
