"I can't attend the school Christmas party I need to be with family"

" Buh Gem itz our first party since senior year". I was on a call with Kayla my Bestie,she wants us to attend the so called school party which is in possible for me......

"Why don't we throw our own party?"

"Oh please the last time we did that it was only us and the Dj"

"This year is different ...."

"Plzzzzzzzzzzz...... Kelvin will be expecting me "

"OK go without me...."

"No! are u out of ur dirty mind..... fine I'll talk to your mom about...."

"No!! I mean no need I'll see wat I can do"

"Thanks Gem don't keep me waiting and say hi to Libra for me"

"Bla bla bla....... talk to u later" I ended the call standing up from my bed to leave my room when...... "****!" I jerked in shock

" you know leaving the door open and talking to your boyfrnd is risky" Collins said leaning on the wall......

"You almost gave me a heart attack"

"Don't worry you won't die just a few oxygen will bring u back" he replied smiling

"What do you want?" I asked

"Good question.... seems like you re getting smarter everyday" I rolled my eyes going to sit down on my bed cause if I keep standing Collins won't stop taking till am tired

"I need ur help "

"With what? don't tell me u spoilt mom's dryer " I said with questionable eyes

"No o not that.... Bella is coming over for dinner and I need u to tell mom she's your frnd" I burst into a srs laughter after he finished talking

"So sorry ( Still laughing ) I shuld pretend that someone I have never seen is my frnd ?"

"Yes" he replied

" Do u think mom is dumb?" I asked

"Maybe at that point"

"Really.......... "

"Listen Gem plz do it for me just this favour OK" he said trying to give me a puppy eye

"Stop that u look like a hungry Buffalo.... I will do it if u don't tease me"

"Done I won't tease you"

"OK then ( I stood up ) see you during dinner" I said walking away .

{ AT THE KITCHEN }

"welcome mom" I said standing beside the fridge

"Thanks Honey.... am glad you re here I want to ask you something"

"Okay am listening"

" Should I wear a baby pink or Royal blue dress for a dinner?"

" Dinner? mom when did you start caring for what to wear on our Family dinner" I asked confused at her question

"It's not for our dinner ....... I have a date a day after Christmas"

"Wow ( came close ) tell me about him" I kept this amazing smile that couldn't stop....... "He is just a friend nothing else" mom replied literally blushing

"Just a friend that lits up ur pink cheeks? ..... mom dere is more to it "

"Am being srs .... so which colour of dress is okay?". she stopped what she's doing looking at me ...... At this moment mom looked like a teenager to me the way she smile , I imagined her in different colour of dress and ended up saying

" Royal blue will look gorgeous on you trust me"

"Thanks buh don't tell the boys " immediately she said it they both came in as if they were standing there all this while.........

"Tell us wat?" they both asked in unison, mom and I looked at each other then the boys they both gave us questionable looks......

"Am pregnant" I blurted out without thinking

"What?" they all said so did mom

"Smart one Gem....." Collins said going to the table picking a banana

"What she's trying to say is ( Mom gave me a deadly look that kept my tongue paralyzed wen I was abt to interrupt ) we were planning of a dish to prepare for Christmas" mom replied

"So she ain't pregnant? " Collins asked dropping the banana pill on the table

" No Collins she's not " Libra replied standing beside me

"Well since there is nothing interesting going on in u guys life am gonna make mine interesting" Collins said about to live

"By getting a girl pregnant?" Libra asked as we all laughed apart from Collins

"Funny one Bra" walking away

"If I get u! u will regret seeing ur girlfriend on Bras" Libra said as Collins laughed away.

...Yesterday is all gone, Collins so called girlfriend didn't show up ' so disappointing' buh who cares? .Well am not home I went shopping as you all know am working on a to do list for Christmas...... I didn't tell u guys ? so sorry I forgot buh now you know , okay so I've only got two ideas and they suck "#1 get a customized t shirt with my family name on it #2Kill Santa for not fulfilling my wish......." haha the second sounds messed up right? so I hues am taking it down........ *Phone rings* "I wonder why this punk is calling" I stopped walking answering his call...

..."Hey lovely sis" Collins said...

..."Don't be dramatic.. wat is it?" I asked...

..."Where are you?"...

..."Am on my way to a store"...

..."GREAT.... I want you to help me buy Condoms" I froze looking at my phone making sure I was a talking to Collins "Hello Gem"...

..." I should get you wat?" I asked...

..."Condoms.... for men I need it okay so please hurry up and don't mess up" he said ending the call not letting me speak that wes when I realize I have an insane brother....

...{ KAYLA'S PLACE }...

..."Thank you so much for the invitation to your grand Christmas party Mrs Wen, so when is the party" Kayla asked on a phone call with Mrs Wen while her mom sits in front of her with a cup of coffee the phone was on speaker.........

..."The giveaway is on the 25th honey.... by the way where is your mother?" Kayla's mom gave her sign to tell her she's not at home... "My mom ...... is not home .... I mean she's out of the city . yh she's out of the city"...

..."okay will you make it to the party?"...

..."Where are you going?"...

..."Too seek God mercies"...

..."On Kelvin's bed? not a bad place " her mom said sipping her coffee...

..." WTF mom? " she bangs the door her mom hurriedly went and opened it seeing her entering the car "Have fun honey make sure to buy protection for the devil won't be gentle" she shouted for Kayla to hear laughing back into the house....

...{ AT THE STORE }...

...I was walking up and down looking for the shit Collins told me to get for him when my phone rang ..... "What is it?" I asked...

..." Have you gotten my stuff" He said...

..." Is that why you called me??"...

..."Actually no ..... Libra said we're out of chilies, milk and stack "...

..." Okay I'll get that for him....."...

..." And my stuff"...

..."Bla Bla Bla I still remember" I ended the call . Luckily for me the store sells food stuff I got what Libra wanted except for the stack I asked mom to get it on her way home...... am in front of the store attendant and still haven't seen the CD so I decided to ask her buh looking at her she doesn't look old , she's a teen with her piercing ..... "Excuse me are you ready or not people are waiting for you" she said bringing me back then turned buh didn't see anybody "Don't be dumb..... re you done buying?"...

..."No... ummmmmmm not yet, do you have emmmmm protection?" I asked...

..." What? dose this place look like a police station? "...

..." Not that .... I mean" I was already going confused with the way she was looking at me bullets were slowly rolling down , itz so embarrassing buying CD what was I thinking when I listed to that punk? ......

..."Miss ? my time is precious I don't have all day OK so what are you looking for??"...

..."Protection..... like those shits people use ... Damm it Condoms" I said closing my eyes out of embarrassment then I hard the Attendant laughing...

..."Ummmmm... sorry buh this is the men section"...

..."Yeah I........ I...... I know " when I turned what I saw made me speechless his blue eyes frozed my heart...........

..." then why are you here?" he asked his lips so hot I was lost in the lip about to fall in a great slumber..... "Hey " he said weaving his hands in front of my face...

..."Huh? am so sorry what did u say?" I asked my cheeks were burning out of embarrassment...

..." My name is Jace "...

..."Sweet..... I mean nice mine is Gemini"...

..."Nice meeting you " he smirked am still lost in his eyes. "Condoms not bad " he said...

..."What??(I came back to reality)No .. no no am not the one using it am getting it for someone "...

..." Wow... that's crazy "...

..." I know right..... Buh I just have to do it" he chuckled so did I then suddenly everywhere became silent he started coming close looking at me , if he had intentions of kissing me am on I will totally let him the more he came closer the more my heart beats , I closed my eyes waiting to receive my first and probably last kiss buh nothing happened still had my eyes closed hoping and still happened......... "Here give him this one he will like it " Jace said now he seems kinda far from me I opened an eye before opening the other one collecting the CD from him...

..."Thanks ......(my phone rang) just a minute" I said stepping aside to make the phone call...

..."Hello Gem, where in heavens name are you? " mom asked...

..." Am at a store buh I will be back "...

^^^......^^^" Hurry up I need your help" she said ending the call I totally forgot I rushed played for the stuffs a leaving the store.^^^......^^^

...I opened the door slowly checking to make sure everywhere is clear for me to sneak in then I entered...... "Sneaking ? hmmm I won't save you " that was Libra voice...

..." Hey Senior brother what's up?" I said smiling...

..."Did you get the milk?"...

..."was hoping you wouldn't ask" I gave him the bag then walked out heading to the kitchen that's when I saw Collins in the living room , checking my bag for what I got for him I remembered I left it in the bag I gave Libra...... "Holy shit!" I hurriedly went to Libra snatching that bag from his hand.....

..."WTF?? GEMINI?!" he said but I couldn't point out his emotion at that moment so I cared less....... ...

...," I left some private stuff inside" I said still holding the bag buh this time so tight...

..." What do you mean?"...

..." Like private girls stuff... you won't wanna known or see it"...

..." Geez take what ever that is inside and give me the milk I asked you to get" he said walking away " Girls are wired"...

..."I heard you" I said...

..." well whatever be quick OK" I left with the bag going to the living room to give Collins .......

..."Hey Scorpio.... you're welcome" I said dropping it on his body walking away...

..." I won't complain you called me by that name... thanks"...

..." sure thing" I left gave Libra the bag then straight up too my room... mom isn't back yet thou....

..."Am waiting for someone"...

..."weird"...

..."That girl that came did you see her around?"...

..."Did she steal something?"...

..."come on Mia she's too pretty to steal... I just wanna see her again" he said smiling while resting on the table...

..."wake up lover boy pretty girls are deadly"...

..."not all of then ... she looks innocent with her smile......"...

..." snap out of it.... itz not gonna work OK now can you go get me my pizza?"...

..." You're just too much to handle" he said leaving the store....

...{ GEM'S ROOM }...

...Last night was really cool am at home so bored and tired.... still haven't made a wish yet I refuse to stand up from bed the dream I was having was enough to keep me on bed I was slaying dragons with Santa about to save Santa from a four headed dragon that looks like Collins ...... "Gem, Gem wake up Gem " I slowly opened my eyes I saw...

..."what is it Collins?? urgh" I asked stuffing myself inside my blanket then he drags it away from my body this is what happens when you have a brothers like mine I lazily sat down looking at him...... "We need your help" he said....

... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *...

..."WTF happened here?" I shockingly asked Libra was also inside the messed up kitchen he was trying to turn of the burning pan with a fire extinguisher, turning to Collins who was smiling at me " Can you explain what happens here?" ...

..."We tried preparing breakfast since mom left for an urgent meeting we had an idea if making Flambé" Collins replied...

..."Hey Collins...... look what we got" Libra showed him the burnt pan the only thing that could be seen was a black pan and charcoal inside.........

..." I..... I don't know what to say " I said laughing as they both stood lost trying to figure out why I was laughing "Am sorry (still laughing) look at your faces " ...

..."Just help us out" Libra said I walked towards him collecting the pan pitting on the apron on the table.... "Leave the kitchen I can handle it but before that Libra get a new pan , Collins don't come to the kitchen till am done" Libra had already left for the market I guess meanwhile Collins slowly left the kitchen^^^..........
