Hii, I'd appreciate it if you'd drop comments.

Tee had been so crazy about 'hair products'  and hair related shit.
She had been learning some things from Shalom.

She told me Shalom earlier sent her apologies through Esther. No apology for me though, it was just to Tee.

I wasn't entirely surprised one afternoon when I opened the door to see her standing with a big bag in her hand.

"what are you doing here? " she asked me.

" no, what are you doing here? This is my house! " I smirked. She really is dumb.

" whatever, I'm here to see Titi " she pushed me away and walked into the house.
Closing the door behind me, I walked towards her with a smile on my face.

She eye shot daggers at me before sitting on the sofa.

" Tee! Someone's here to see you " I yelled.

I was on a pair of joggers with no shirt on, it was an habit I wasn't ready to drop, being shirtless.

I caught Shalom staring at my muscular frame.
" you like what you see? " I asked her.

" yeah, I love looking at pigs "she answered with a fake smile.

" ouch " I frowned at her.
" do you want something to drink, you look dehydrated? "

I didn't wait for her to answer as I walked to the fridge and brought out 'pepsi' .
I placed it on the table beside her but she ignored me and the Pepsi together.

'you want pizza? I can order for one"  I suggested.

"can you like die or something? I came here to see Titi and not you, why is it so hard to understand? " she asked.

Before I could say a word, Tee came jogging to the living room.
" Hello aunty Shalom, sorry I was busy upstairs "

" it's fine, how are you? Here, I brought what you asked for " Shalom smiled as she gave the bag to my sister.
It would actually be nice if at least this hard girl likes Tee.

" Thank you so much, I really appreciate " Tee squealed as she collected it.

Shalom smiled as she stood up "I should be on my way, if there's anything you'd like to know, you can always call me"

Laughing to myself, I got up before her and hurriedly went out, taking the house key with me as I was planning something mischievous in my head.

I walked over to our dogs cage and quickly released the German Shepherd. She go cry tire!

The dog was excited as he ran round the compound in excitement.

Shalom stepped out, Tee didn't come with her, good.

The dog was no where to be seen at first.

Shalom totally ignored me, I also returned the favour as I went to lock the door to the house.

Just then, the dog showed up, on sighting Shalom, he started barking.
It was a good thing P man and Mumcy were not around.

Shalom screamed in fear as she quickly ran towards the door where I stood.

"your dog, your dog " she cried.

" yeah, he's a big dog I know ".

" no stupid, go and chain the dog, see if this dog bites me, I won't take it likely with you " she cried.

Tee heard the noise and started banging the door, asking me to open it, pffft!
Marlians don't take orders from non Marlians.

" I can't chain the dog, that would be animal abuse, now you can either choose to stay inside till the dog sleeps off or you'll let me carry you to the gate "

" are you mad? No, you are mad, idiot, stupid man, onye ara (mad man)! "

" ahh  omo igbo gan? ('so she's an igbo girl?) Ode leleyi! (she's an ode, lol) "

" Brother Gold, open the door! " Tee yelled.

The dog seemed uninterested in the little drama and since Shalom was still throwing insults at me, I decided to call the dog towards us.

" Bruno boy, come here boy, come, come! " the big dog wagged its tail and came running towards us.
Shalom screamed in fear as she went behind me, using my body as a shield.
The dog seemed irritated by her screaming and started barking at her.

Laughing, I firmly held the dog still.

" do you want to go back in or would you let me carry you to the gate? " I asked her with a deep voice.

" God will punish you " she cried.

Hissing, I released my grip on the dog " Bruno, she thinks I'm joking, catch her, catch her! "

The dog became hyper and increased his barking.

" alright fine, please carry me " She finally surrendered.

" Sorry, I couldn't hear you " I lied.

" I said you should carry me" she pleaded.

I smiled in satisfaction "Bruno, go, go"  I pointed to another direction, the dog seemed interested and ran off to where I had pointed out.

I turned to face a sweaty Shalom, she looked terribly frightened.

I didn't wait for her to say a word as I swiftly carried her bridal style.

If looks could kill, I would be as good as dead with the faces she was giving me.
"you're insane, you're a lunatic " she kept on hitting my chest.

" Bruno boy, come, come. "

The dog ran to us, tongue out, wanting to play.
I lowered her down and she screamed out loud

" am I a lunatic? " I asked.

" no no, I'm Sorry " she begged.

Taking her up, I smiled to myself.

As I walked with her in my arms, she was panting with tears but I was enjoying myself.

" Hold me " I ordered.

" what? "

" wrap your hands around me " I smirked, I knew her hatred for me would increase but at least it's best to momentarily catch fun.

" why are you like this Gold? " she cried

" Bruno boy, Bruno boy " I whistled.

" okay, fine, fine " she wrapped her arms around me, smiling, I passed through the gate, feeling satisfied, I slowly but gently dropped her.
Immediately her legs touched the ground, she looked up at me and landed a big slap on my cheek.

What's with girls and slapping me?

My eyes widened in shock, the sting lingered a little.

Looking at her smallish form, she looked really, what was the word Tee loved to use? 'Adorable'?  Yes, adorable.
She was fuming with anger as she clenched her tiny fists looking at me.

With a raised finger she yelled "you are going to pay for what you just did, idiot, useless soul"

Smiling at her "see you later Shally boo"

She hissed and walked away in anger.

Walking back into the house, Tee was seated calmly on the sofa.
"you were screaming for me to open the door, if you really wanted to come out, why couldn't you take the back door? "

She arched her brow "because I knew you were up to something and I had to force myself not to interfere"

I studied her sitting form closely, she had grown fatter in days.
When a girl is growing fatter, it means there is a boy behind it, it might seem to be a stupid theory but aren't we all stupid after all?

Grabbing her wrist, I asked "Tee, so you have a boyfriend now abi?"

"ahhhn, what are you saying? I don't have a boyfriend! "

" then why are you adding weight? " I asked her.

She looked up at me in confusion, shaking her head, she pushed off my hand and walked away.

I called after her " you had better lose weight before next week, naughty girl "

" damn! My cheek still hurts " I held my cheek.
