Emmanuella POV

"You know what guys.  I've thought  about it back and forth and I have come  to a conclusion"

"That what sis?"

"We are cursed! "

I declared  once I got to the sitting room where my elder sisters were watching a movie.  It was Saturday afternoon and since our test ended yesterday we haven't received any assignment. Zoey was the first to react as she said

"What?  no! "

"Not a chance! "

Addie reacted, but my mom yelling at us made us keep out voice down. She was in  her study area  doing some research on my father's concubine, she said

"Kilo se le o Etuti beere"
Translation: What happened ooo you guys have started

"Mabinu a o ni pariwo mo"
Translation: I'm sorry we won't shout again

I responded Before moving from the stairs that led to  the first floor where all the rooms where.  I came to sit beside them since they had paused the movie they were watching and I continued to speak in a way that wouldn't interrupt my mom.

"I mean look at...  No offense Addie but none of your relationship have lasted more than 5weeks,  max is 6 and the one that ended up lasing more than 6 weeks, disappeared 4 years ago and now he is back like he Never left.
Zoey on the other hand  should be an actress in training but no single licensed acting school wants to enroll  her. its just sad and pathetic because they are missing out on a whole new level of talent.
I well I'm your  sweet little sister who's hope of finding love had long been Shattered.  Heck how I'm I support to find love when nervous laughs I don't believe in it. Hell I don't  because we've all been constantly denied of the things we love the most... it's about time we come to a conclusion that were all Cursed. "

I concluded it took awhile before every thing  I said sank in, but they didn't want to dwell on it  for too long so Addie responded on Zoey's behalf as she was still deep in thought.

"Emma. we are not cursed, we have very different lives to live "

"So in other words, we are still cursed"

"We are not. Be positive for once! "

Zoey yelled at me and I didn't flick at all. I just  responded before leaving the parlor and letting them reflect on the last thing I said. 

"Sure we aren't,  of course that explains why our beautiful  looking mother who soo happens to find our her 'ever loyal '  husband is cheating on her. Lets face fact sis we've been cursed by love,  or rather someone who's been in love. "

"Emmanuella! Hia can't you  be positive which one is cursed my by love now ehen "

Addie responded  Before Putting  the movie back on play so it could distract them from the truth I just  told.

"Okay oh I'm just  saying,  I've sha said my own if you need  me I'll be in my room. "

With that I left them in the sitting room and headed to my room.  Once I was there  I picked  up my phone sat on the chair in front of the reading table and started playing games,  Cooking fever.  Not long after a conference video call came through from Lydia and Mercy and since I had nothing better to do I picked it and their faces immediately popped up on my iPhone 8.

Me: hey girlllll!!!

Both: hhhhey youuu!

Mercy : waddup man its been forever  since we did conference video call

Me: hmm hmm tell me about.

Lydia: oh I'll tell you about it,  school that's what happened.

We all laughed at that before I spoke up again

Me: soo did I hear a sleep over alert at someone's house?

Both: yeayeah!

Mercy: who's is hosting?

Lydia: Urr me obvi,  you guys already had your turns to host now it mine.

Me: great then it settled  8:00pm next week Saturday. soo what have you guys been up too

Mercy : oh the usuals, staying home and not moving a finger, because my dad pays people to do everything  for me.

Lydia: you know, ya both are pretty lucky to not have an over bearing twin  like mine.

Me: oh Lydia I am soo sorry, is Lilian giving you problems?

Lydia : gurlll she is a problem

Mercy: don't say that,  she got feelings too; you're provably going about this whole sibling relationship thing the wrong way.

Me: yea maybe you should try talking to her.

Lydia: you guys don't know Lilian like I do, talking to her is like talking to a wall of bricks.

Mercy: awwn I'm soo sorry Dia (short for Lydia)  maybe Emma  and I could  talk some sense into her.

Lydia: yea good luck with that. Hey speaking of relationship,  I still don't have a boyfriend because I still  haven't given Faruq an answer.

Mercy : oh. My.  goodness!  the poor thing must me dying to get a positive  response after you stalled him for soo long!

Me: ha!  That's if he isn't dead by now.

Mercy and Lydia glares at me and I raised one of my hand in mocking surrender. Lydia just  cleared me up on that.

Lydia : he is not dead,  and he is not poor either mercy,  and I sort of told my mom about it.  She was supper happy but my dad was like...  No way he is not gonna let some young man who can't see the beauty within,  have me; saying that Faruq is not  worth  it.

Mercy: Awwn how sweet,  he is just looking out for his Favorite  daughter... I guess

Me: yea ,  I'm  pretty sure Faruq has seen more than the beauty within. If not he wouldn't be asking you out.

Lydia: yea well, if he keeps looking  out for me,  and chasing away all the potential boyfriend material male friends I have,  I'll  never get a boyfriend.

Me:...  Boyfriends are over rated.

Mercy: And how would you know Erea  (short for Ereadura,  Emmanuella Yoruba name)  you've never had one

Me: its because I don't need one Fi (short for fiyinfoluwa, Mercy's  Yoruba name)... They are a complete waste of time.

Lydia:yea.. Of course...  Urrr did you know that, kelvin "the Greek god"  is in your room, like right now  and he like 5 centimeters behind you.

Me: puliz of cause no one is in...

I stopped mid sentences standing up from my chair and turned around,  only to find Kelvin actually standing there in flesh. No hologram, no look alike he was right then in my room. I remembered I was still talking  to the girls,  before the knowledge of Kelvin being in my room intruding on my privacy and interrupting my flow of conversation I said.

Me: girls,...  I'll call you back.

Both : yea sure...  Take your  time.

Once I ended the call, it created  an awkward silence which left me wishing  I was any where but here. As the air began to fill tensed, a tiny voice in me kicked against the thought.   This was my room after all so he should be afraid. I summoned up courage,  looked him dead in the eye and asked

"What are you doing in my room? "

My sudden confidence in my question threw  him off balance, he began to stutter and I used  it to my advantage.

"Speak!  boy!! What. Are.  you. doing. in.  my.  room??  You have 5 seconds so start talking or I'm calling the authorities. "
