Episode 50
Bella
“Hi ma, good to see you today,” I said to Mrs Walcott.
“Can I tell you a secret, Bella?” She asked with her gentle smile.
“Yes, ma,” I replied.
“I don’t usually do this at all; I heard gossips from other persons here, saying how good you are with the make-up. Some even called you a professional; I admire that so much young lady.”
I couldn’t stop blushing; my role model is admiring me right now.
“Thanks so much, ma; I appreciate it; I am short of words.”
“Don’t be okay?” I nodded.
“Now care to listen why I came as well?”
“Yes, ma.”
” I came as well, so my professional makeup artist will do a simple make-up for me, I got a business meeting to attend, and I must look way good; I want my husband to get overprotective when he sees men turning back. To see me and admire me.”
Oh gosh, this woman thinks she is a youth like me, but I love that kind of relationship.
Wait a minute; she just asked me to touch her face, like do makeup on her face, a commoner like me; this is a dream come true for me.
“Ma, are you serious? I should do your make-up for real?”
“Oh common child, stop acting weird, of course; I want you to do my make up, so I look awesome; I should be asking for your autograph; you are awesome, dear.”
“Thanks so much, ma.”
We entered the room; she sat down on the chair, waiting for me to start my magic.
I brought the set of boxes for the makeup; I can’t imagine I am about to use this rare makeup box.
I arranged everything and notice how my hands were shaking when I was about to start.
She held my hands, saying, “Calm down, Bella, I know how nervous you are; let’s do it this way; think of it this way, you are doing makeup for your mother, so your hands can’t be shaking. Okay?”
I felt a cold breeze within me; I took a deep breath and started the make-up on her face.

“Wow, this is wow! I can’t believe I will look this beautiful, the transformation and everything, girl. You are rare, and I won’t want to lose a gem like you.”
“I am glad you like it, ma.”
“I don’t like it, I mean, I love it, with this, I am going to promote you to the high ranking class; you are no longer in a novice class.”
“Really, wow. I love to make a request, ma.”
“Go on.”
“Can I get a picture of you?”
“Oh, Bella, is that why you were so serious asking? Come on, take as many pictures as you want, okay.”

Taking a walk home, I was smiling all through; today is fantastic and fulfilling; I need to tell Kyle about everything tomorrow; I know he will be so proud of me.
I entered the house, greeting mom, who ignored me at first and later replied.
“The clothes in my room, you need to wash them very early, okay?”
“Yes, mom.”
“By the way, where are you coming from this late?”
My heart skipped a beat. Did she see me at the Walcott or what.
“I am coming from the home of Wilson.”
“I just hope you are not lying; I regret keeping you anyway, know this if I get a complaint from the Wilson about you, you will hate what I will do to you?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Yes, mom.”
I answered respectfully, going in.
Where could my father be? He hardly comes home these days.
I opened my phone to check the news feed on Instagram, seems Kyle isn’t online to reply to my messages.
I blink twice seeing Clara with Kyle, hugging so passionately, he drove her home and kisses her in his car; what does he take me for, a bitch or what?
Maybe he has a reason; l shouldn’t conclude till I hear from him. Even at that, he deserves a hot slap from me.
Tears rolled from my eyes, “Nah, my parents didn’t beat me up; why am I crying this way, Bella? You are crying because of him.”
Kyle
I kept my phone, entering the bathroom to have my bath, then my phone started ringing; I finished bathing before coming out to answer the phone call.
“Theo, what’s up?”
“I am fine; why did you do it?”
“Do what?”
“Why would you do things that will jeopardise your relationship with Bella?”
“Please stop beating around the bush; come clean, okay?”
“Why did you go out with Clara, hugging her, taking her home and kissing her? The pictures are all over the net.”
My phone fell off my hands, “I didn’t do this on purpose; I just took mom for dinner; she came out from nowhere like mom’s plan; she forced herself to hug me begging me to love her.”
“Great story you got man, what about you driving her home? Did she force your hands on the wheel?”
” Nah, she didn’t force me, I just offer her a ride home, and she kissed me unaware.”
“I don’t know what to say, but I know she must have seen the pictures; try to upgrade the version of your story to a better one cause what you just told me sucks.” He ended the call.
I dail Bella number immediately, but she was not returning the calls or her messages; I know I am doomed.
Clara
The maids served me wine with ice; I drank from it, smiling uncontrollably.
“I never knew the images would spread on the net like a wide fire; everyone calls me his newfound lover; some commented we look perfect together.”
I transferred the money to the guy who has been snapping the pictures from the place we had dinner and when I kissed him in the car.
“Hey, I just sent you your balance, good job.”
“Thanks, ma, call on me anytime, and I will give you the best services.” He said before I ended the call.
“Get me more wine; I need to drink for victory; soon, that maid of a girl will be out for good after he engages me on his birthday next month.”
I dialled the new toy that works as a maid in Kyles home, “Hey, I want to know everything by tomorrow, okay?”
“Yes, ma.”
“Kyle, you have no choice but to love me at the end of the game.”
To be continued.
Will he lose the relationship?
