TROUBLE

Hazel got up that morning feeling drained . She felt like she was ran over by a truck and her head ached so badly which made her dizzy.

" Gosh my head is about to explode," She murmured sautering towards her bathroom. She needed to clean up cause she felt sticky with the sweat and all the rest. She couldn't recall what happened yesterday and hoped that nothing silly occured or else She would be doomed.

While struggling to remember what she must have done yesterday, a knock brought her out of thoughts causing her to groan annoyingly.

" Come in ," She yelled while looking for a hair band to tie her hair into a bun.

" Good morning Young miss, I maid you soup which would aid in your hang over," one of the maids said placing the bowl of soup beside her.

" Good morning Maggi and thanks for the sweet gesture. I really need this right now. By the way, is the breakfast ready? Cause am famished," She added while drinking her soup.

" Yes young miss," Maggi replied curtly.

" OKay, I would be downstairs shortly. Has my cousin had her breakfast already?" She asked further.

" No young miss, I suppose she is still resting in her room. She spent the whole night waiting for your arrival which resulted to her going to bed later than expected, " Maggi narrated .

Hazel instantly felt guilty for not replying to her cousin's messages. She must have been so worried for her sake. She thought sighing exasperatingly.

Though Gema could be sometimes annoying and hard to deal with, she was very caring and loving to those she cherishes most and she sure had a funny way to express it .

Hazel could only blame herself for her actions.

"Maggi please don't say a word about what happened yesterday to my parents. Tell the others to do same," She uttered before sautering out of her bedroom.

Gema was busy eating her breakfast when Hazel came in. Hazel felt terrible upon seeing the dark circle under her cousin's eyes but prefer to ignore the feeling rather than dwelling on it.

" Good morning," She uttered taking a seat opposite her cousin's.

" How was your night?" She asked trying to start a conversation.

" Do you mean how was my morning? Cause if I recall correctly , I didn't get an ounce of sleep last night. Hazel I was so worried for you . Though you can't understand that. You ditched your bodyguards just to go clubbing. Do you know what would have happened to you if Mr. Markwill wasn't around?" She scolded further.

" What do you mean by Mr. Markwill being around?" She asked putting her cutleries down.

"Are you kidding me Hazel ? Your Fiancé was the one who brought you back home. Did you think you could make it home with how wasted you looked this morning? Gema muttered sarcastically.

" Wait a minute, so Alex brought me back home? How did he even find me?" She said suddenly feeling another splitting headache.

" Well he told me to tell you that, you should get ready to face the consequences of your actions and do you know the worst part? Uncle and Aunt are coming back home today, " Gema narrated .

"What? " Hazel screamed.

" Yeah you heard me well. They just called saying they would be coming back today," Gema added.

" But it hasn't been upto a week that they travelled to France and they suddenly want to come back home? I guess am doomed,"She said .

" Well don't give me that look. I didn't call them , they did. Perhaps it's part of your punishment like Mr. Markwill said. I warned you but you didn't listen," Gemma shrugged.

" Where are you heading to ? " Hazel asked while sipping her orange juice.

" To the company .Since you refused to go to the company with me , I decided to do my internship alone," Gema added while sautering towards the main door.

" You're making me to feel more guilty than I am already, " Hazel yelled annoyingly.

" Oh Hazel , you are indeed in trouble for real," She said while biting her chicken lap sorrowfully.

" She should have atleast applied some conceiler before heading out. She looks like a ghost," Hazel murmured grinning at how funny Gema's face looked.

" I heard that bitch. How could you allow me to step out looking so ugly?" She asked shaking her head like a disappointed mother.

" Well that's a role of a mirror don't you think so? You won't tell me that you showered, dressed up without seeing your face cause that's so untrue," Hazel said chuckling.

" Well guessed I was so much engrossed in getting my tummy filled with food than looking at my face. Gosh I need to do something about it," She added while sautering towards her room.

"OKay, but aren't you like six hours late?" Hazel added laughing at how funny Gema looked while climbing the stairs.

"Well it's not like am already working in the company, I just need to get acquainted with my department before starting work," She fired back causing Hazel to erupt in fits of laughter.

" Go on laugh at me, but you have got answers to give tonight, " Gema said tauntingly.

" What a great way to kill the fun Gemy," Hazel said while heading to her room for some beauty sleep.

She needs time to rest and be prepared for the Storm that awaits her.
