LOVELY MISTAKES 1 The News I was so happy that evening when my mom told me that we would be going back to Lagos to stay with my father and my twin brother. We have been separated for 5 years. My mom took me away from our house in Lagos to Abuja and since then I neither saw them nor spoke to them. Before saying much my name is Andrea Adetunji the daughter of Senator Timilehin Adetunji the 4th richest man and politician in Nigeria and Lois Adetunji a famous and wealthy half cast super model and actress. I am 17 years old, born with a silver spoon if not gold. I am an actress model and professional dancer,my mom is my manager and my favorite color is pink. I asked my mom when we would be living and she said that we would be leaving on Friday, it was Wednesday and Friday was looking too far. But well I am so excited and happy at last I would see my twin brother what would he look like? Would I still recognize him? And Aisha my bestfriend, what would she look like ? How will I meet her ? Is she still in that school? What if that is not the school I would be going to? And Daniel, would he have forgotten about me? Does he have a girlfriend? But well all my questions will get answers on Friday. I missed when we would all play together in school,when my brother and i would ride our bicycles together, when Daniel and I would have romantic picnics at schools as small as we were everyone knew us as a couple even teachers would tease us, when Aisha and I would go for dance classes, when Andrew and Daniel would disturb us because they were at our back. I had my bath and put on my pink pajamas and headed to the dining. Mom had traveled again to shoot a film so I would be eating alone. Oh please don't feel sad for me, I'm used it anyway, she never has time for me, she's always out working. I served myself some rice and curry soup with fish and started eating. I went to bed that night but couldn't sleep so I began to pack my things and when I got tired I slept off.
******************************************************** At Daniel's house, Andrew and Daniel were playing a video game when my dad's call came in. Hello. Really!? Okay sir!! Bye sir. Hey what did he say he wanted this time? Daniel asked. Guess what bro! Andrew said in excitement. Uhmmm Anita wants to have sex with you? Daniel said as he sipped his drink What the fuck are you mad? Firstly Anita wants to keep herself till marriage, secondly she's a pastor's daughter so she wouldn't want to commit fornication, thirdly I'm not interested in sex and besides I just spoke to my dad not Anita. Okay fine save the story,what is it? Daniel said as he lifted his hand in surrender. Andrea and my mom are coming back this Friday. Wow! That's great news. Of course it is. God she's more beautiful now. I swear. Her pink lips,long dark hair,big cute eyes, her beautiful hour glass shape. Are you done describing her Andrew said looking at him amazed. Come on it's true I watch her movies and I see her on beauty products too. Whatever, so are you coming? To where? To the airport. I don't know but I'll see what I can do. Okay Andrew said as he picked his gamepad and continued playing and then he lost to Daniel Take that bro Daniel said as he threw the pad at Andrew. But you know all this is politics right? Andrew said with a serious look on his face How? Daniel asked with a puzzled look on his face. Dad is running for presidency and he needs a good reputation. So he needs a complete family that would be happy in front of the paparazzi and my mom is perfect for the pretending job. Right. But why would your mom agree to that? My mom always has an ulterior motive. Or maybe she just wants her family back. I hope so. Please don't spoil my mood with your family politics my queen is coming back. Right. But will she still be your queen when she realizes that you are friends with benefits with her half sister which she despises so much? She'll understand I hope so cos even before knowing that she was her half sister they never had an agreement. When we get to that bridge we'll cross it. Okay if you say so.
