70: DANIELLA AND NATALIA!

"At that corner Mr," I told my can driver. I paid him and got out of the car. I sighed when I arrived at our gate.

"Uhhh," I adjusted my tie and rang the gate bell.

I wasn't sure if I will find my parents in the house, they might have gone to the office or decided to treat themselves to a suite.

"Davids," called out Jeremy after opening the gate for me.

"Hello Jeremy, " I greeted him before getting in.

"You are in early today?" He said while looking at me.

"Done with the businesses I wanted to get mum and dad before they sleep," I said to him.

"They are in, they haven't gone anywhere after the burial," he confirmed to me and I was happy that I finally find them home. 

I nodded my head and wished him a good night as I went inside the house.

I slowly opened the door and got in, "why are you sneaky? It's only right," said Ann who startled me while I was getting inside the house.

"Mary! Jesus, I was just being silent," I defended myself and closed the food after me.

She gives me a look and threw her eyes in the living room section before looking at me, "at least they are in a good mood today, go," she said and I quickly walked to the living room with my backpack.

My parents were at the fireplace, sitting down. Mum was in her laptop while fitted on my dad's lap. My dad was look g at some piece of paper that looked like a catalogue.

I smiled looking at the little camp that they were enjoying. I removed my phone from the pocket and snapped a photo before returning my phone.

"Darling, what do you think about this setting?" Asked my dad while showing my mother a certain picture from one of the catalogues.

My mother looked at the picture shown by my papa and hummed a little before looking at my dad.

"I wanted the runway to be spacious, this will allow both the models and performing arts space to do their things," said my mother while perusing through her laptop.

"Wow, which artist are you going to invite?" Asked my dad while holding her cheeks.

"The handsome ones baby," chuckled my mother while looking at him.

"God, I better interrupt before they start their mini-fight while am here," 

"What? Am handsome more than any man," cried my dad.

"That's if you fulfil those duties of yours and do that thing I like," replied my dad sliding her fingers through my dad's lips.

"No, not now," I thought to myself.

"You know I've been standing here for almost thirty minutes," I said interrupting both of them from their little fantasy.

"Davids!" They both shouted while my dad holds my mom tightly to his chest.

I thought they would even jump away from each other, but look, they don't have any shame at all.

"Sorry for interrupting," I apologized realizing that they won't apologize for their behaviour since this was their house.

"Come here baby," called my mother.

I dropped my backpack on the sofa and went to join them at the fireplace. 

"Just like old times," I told them.

They both laughed. Time has flown. This is what we used to do every Sunday. Seat by the fireplace, play some music and watch some movies. But we rarely do it though sometimes we try and do it, like today, now!

"How was the food?" Asked my dad.

"You made sure that we were given a VIP treatment papa and everyone was grateful," I said while picking some catalogues from the floor.

"Did you know?" Questioned my mother looking at my dad. 

I guess he failed to inform her of the free food that he was offering the music members.

"Darling, the music was good, and that was a token of appreciation," defended my dad while holding my mum's shoulder.

"So are you still looking for a venue?" I asked while checking some of the pictures.

"Yes, your mum is inviting some handsome men, I guess am gonna be replaced," said my dad while faking a cry.

"Darling, am not they are just there to perform their duties, you know you will never be replaced babe," told my mother.

"What about this venue, I think it will be great for both the models and singers," I told them while lifting a catalogue.

They both looked at it and agreed with the description of the venue.

"It looks beautiful, the walls are plain, Davids are we going I use your architectural design for the walls?" Asked my mother while googling the venue on the laptop.

"Yes mama, since it will be a two design event we are going to incorporate everything together,"  I told her while looking at the pictures online.

My mother seemed to love the venues, it was big enough. I knew she always loves space around her working place that's why she was excited after she found that place. She emailed her event manager and gave her some details about the venue.

"Davids, can I borrow a classmate of yours tomorrow, but she will get paid?" Asked my Mother while checking some documents.

"What type of a person do you want?" I asked her.

"Model type, but not someone tall since I've already talked to Mrs Clank and Daniella ill is there to help me," she said.

So she was serious about Daniella modelling for her. That's good hope she will make a name for herself from the event.

"Okay, let me show you some pictures then you can choose the types that you need," I told her as I checked the Instagram account for some schoolmates that I know of.

"What about Brian?" I asked while still looking for some pictures.

"Oooh, yeah, your brother will be here tomorrow morning, e have to meet at the venue," said my mother.

"Yes!" I threw my fist in the air, earning an eye from my parents.

"You look excited," said my mother.

"It's been long, am happy that he will be here to keep me company do a while," I told them.

I know probably he is planning on surprising me tomorrow morning. Am going to act surprised as long as he brings me goodies.

"I love this one and this one," pointed my mother.

My father picked my phone and looked at the girls she had decided on and agreed with my mother that they were the best.

"Who have you picked?" I asked my mother. My father handed me the phone and showed me the girls that she had picked.

She had picked Natalia and Clara!

"This is bad, this is bad!" I thought to myself.

Natalia and Daniella are in the same room.

The good thing is that.......

There is no good thing, Natalia knows about me and Daniella, but Daniella doesn't know.

I will just..... Or leave it, I've made my mind.

"So, are you going to test their modelling skills tomorrow?" I asked my mother. I didn't know anything about Clara and Natalia modelling but I did when it comes to Daniella.

My mother looked at me and it was like she had second thoughts. 

"Am going to teach them together with other models," said my mother.

She is determined to mentor new people into this career. 

One thing about my mother, she rarely goes for famous models. She will pick the young and upcoming gone whom she will mentor and give them a platform to showcase their expertise and skills.

In this event, she invited the young models she was mentoring from New York and this will be their last event since most of them will be picked by different companies after this. 

Her new models will be Daniella, Clara and Natalia, that is if they succeed in the training.

"Wow, new models?" I commented.

"Everyone deserved a chance baby," said my mum while rubbing my hair.

I knew she had a mission in her work and was happy that she was determined to touch lives.

"So, dad, now that we are not on the runway, what are we going to do?" I asked my dad who was busy eyeing my mother.

"Show our support by advertising for the event," said my dad while showing me the posters from his phone.

"Am good at this, we must sell," I told him and she nodded.

"Those are my boys," joined my mum happily before hugging us both.

I didn't know if they were still concerned about the little drama with Mrs Clanks but I didn't want them to bring it back. Plus I didn't want to think about it, she was probably a king false accusation about chopping my hands.

There is nothing to fear now, especially when being embraced by the people I love in my life, am sure am safe.

After some minutes, we broke the hug. I decided to inform my father about the company idea. I wanted to give him something to digest before he plans for next week's activity.
