Chapter 3

Iris: I wake up late as usual. I brush my teeth,shower and dress up. I went downstairs to eat breakfast. Seeing mum and ivy already there,I sat down.

Mum: Your wedding is in 3 days. When are you going shopping? Will Gabriel accompany you?

Iris: Gabriel's going to work mum. Ivy will accompany me. Right? I pouted

Ivy: Sure..

Iris: I quickly eat breakfast and hurried to the room.

Ivy: Uhmm.. Can I say something?

Iris: I'm listening.

Ivy: Gabriel has a son right?

Iris: Yeah.

Ivy: What happened to his mum?

Iris: Uhmm..Gabriel said she left immediately she gave birth to Daniel. I don't know why though.

Ivy: Ohhh..it's sad Daniel grew up without a mum by his side. I can't imagine my life without mum.

Iris: What's your point ivy? Rolls eyes

Ivy: I Just want you to care for Daniel. And I'm sure he'll call you mum sooner than expected.

Iris: laughs Do you think I care if the brat addresses me as his mum?

Ivy: iris!!! He's a child!

Iris: Rolls eyes Can you end this discussion?

Uhmm..you carried a big suitcase. Do you plan on relocating here?

Ivy: a frown appeared on my face. Yeah I am. But don't tell mum. I'll tell her soon.

Iris: Why? What about your teaching job? And your boyfriend?

Ivy: Nothing. I quit my job and my boyfriend broke up with me

Iris: Really? I'm sorry. I've told you multiple times not to depend on one man. Now look what it cost you. I can remember how you suffered to help him.

Ivy: I don't do multiple men iris! Have some dignity.

Iris: Lol. Well..I'm the one who's engaged and you're not.

Ivy: You don't have to insult me

Iris: Okay..I'm sorry. Give me the address of the fool!! I'll send boys to him.

Ivy: laughs

Iris: let's go shopping. I look in my wardrobe and pick out sweatpants

while ivy wears a short gown.

We both head out. I'm going to get lots of clothes,it isn't my money after all.

  We arrive at the mall. I select a few dresses,a wedding gown,some shoes and clothes for ivy.

We head out by 3:00pm. We arrived home. Mum checks the dress while I head inside. My phone rang.

Hey Bobby. I've missed you so much.

Can I see you tomorrow. I have gifts for you

Squeals. Really?

Yeah.. Don't fail me

Sure love I won't.

Iris: Oh lord! My wedding is in 3 days and I have to get this gifts from this guy. I pondered in my room. I have to figure out what to do

Ivy: I enter the room seeing iris full of worry and restless. I stare at her for a few minutes until I tapped her.

What's wrong?

Iris: 😖i need to travel!

Ivy: Okay.....To where?

Iris: Abuja!

Ivy: Why?

Iris: A guy invited me to Abuja. He bought lots of gifts for me. I really have to go!!

Ivy: Nobody's preventing you going iris.

Iris: Well.. Gabriel is!!! He insists on coming over tomorrow to see my twin🙄.

ivy: Lol..what's there to see? We're literally the same.

Iris: jerks up quickly. Oh God! I love you ivy. You're brilliant!! hugging her tightly.

Ivy: Lol. Did I say something brilliant? 

Iris: Since we're literally the same and Gabriel hasn't met you. We can switch.

Ivy: What!!!Stands up angrily. Are you nuts?

You want me to pretend to be you!

Iris: Please! Just for two days. I promise to be back on time for the wedding.

Ivy: No! No! No!. I won't!

Iris: Okay.. I'll just call off this marriage. It's not like I'm interested.

Ivy: Can you hear yourself. You want to call off your marriage because of gifts. Shame on you!

Iris: Oh! don't start that nonsense.

Ivy: sighs Okay. I'll do as you say. Make sure you're back tomorrow.

Iris: I love you. I'll be back I promise. You can wear my clothes and wig.

I hurriedly packed some few clothes and personal stuff I needed. I'll have to leave early before mum finds out.
