Chapter three

APRIL😩😢

I slept and woke up like twenty times if I'm not exaggerating. And my dad is still not here what's taking him so long I thought as I was about to dial his number again for the umpteen time

"April dear!" I heard my name from afar i turned around on my bench to see my FATHER!.

Finally! I got up and ran to his wide open arms. How I've missed this man he wore a fancy turquoise blue suit and the scent of his perfume was giving rich vibes.

"My lord see how big you've grown" Dad said hugging my even tighter

"Wanna hear something nice? No it's a Surprise, well you can guess, ok no you must be very tired! How was the journey, how's your mom? Are you guys fine? Is ..." .

"Dad!" I cut him short "One question at a time" I smiled.

"Oh shoot, my bad" he chuckled. "Hey princess pack your bags let's get you going" he added.

I didn't even have the strength to argue with him I just picked up my bags and followed him though I'm curios about his surprise. We Walked towards a fancy black Venza car.

"OMG dad! You didn't have to rent this pretty ride, it must have costed over a million bucks" I said admiring the car.

"Part of my surprise baby, I didn't rent us this ride!" Dad said excitedly.

Now something is fishy I thought as I put both my bags into the trunk of the car and sat down at the passenger seat beside my dad.

Last time I visited and that's about two years ago dad wasn't comfortable enough to get him self a television I stayed in a one room apartment with him and trust me it was uncomfortable in fact that's an understatement It was small and dad didn't have any fancy ride then he had this really old version of Range Rover that gave us problems a lot. I fell into my trail of thoughts again and slept off.

********

"Dad ! Are we lost ?" I asked waking up with a start looking out through the window.

Dad furrowed his brows and gave me a sideways glance

"Why, is something wrong?" He asked smiling a little bit.

"No, I mean yeah, last time I came we didn't go through is expensive looking street" i said looking back at my dad confused.

"Take a chill pill baby" dad answered giving me that evil smile again.

Instantly my mind was in a turmoil. Should I call mom ? Or should I call 911 ? This is getting suspicious. Oh shoot my phone is in my bag at the back!

"Whatcha doing?" Dad asked laughing loudly this time.

"Huhnnn...??" I looked at him

"You are doing that thing you do when you are nervous" he said laughing even louder than before.

I then noticed I was biting my lips and interlocking my fingers again and again. I stopped abruptly and smiled nervously.

"But dad why aren't we going home straight I'm tired" I said with a weak voice.

"You'll see" he gave me that smile again.

I just left him alone he probably wants me to meet some friends or take me to a party or introduce me to his new wife who can blame him ? It's been ages he deserves to be happy .

************

Finally gotten to the city of Boston again. Wait a minute! Is Boston a city, a country, or a town ? Or even a state? I honestly don't know, don't blame me ok?! I suck at history and geography.

Well I've finally gotten to Boston the capital of the most popular city of Massachusetts in the United States.

I've been seeing a lot of similar houses and blocks of flats looks like that's how they build houses here.

Or that's how the fancy and elite people build houses here. During the drive I saw good places to eat we even passed two McDonald's. Now I'm craving any Starbucks drink and fries ok enough boring thoughts I'm famished.

"Hey dad I'm hungry" I told my dad while holding my stomach.

"You are lucky In and out is in the next turn" dad smirked and afterward the car screeched to a stop as dad asked what I wanted

"I'll have big chicken nuggets and chips with fries please add the deeper. Oh! and small cola" I smiled nicely to the lady taking my Orders.

"I'll have shrimp with green salad remove the tomatoes and onions I'll take it with cucumber water"

"Ewww dad what's with the healthy eating" I questioned my dad once we left the drive through.

"Felt like I've been eating shitty these days" was all he said the only sound in the car was me munching my fries loudly.

I was almost done with my fries wen dad maneuvered the car in front of a gigantic white house with black roofs. Cool color I thought.

"Whose house is this dad ?" I asked lowing my voice

"You'll see, Oh you'll see" dad smirked and got out leaving me in that car.

Oh it's finally happening how will I meet my new step mom she's rich I see.

I followed dad closely inside the big house

"How's the house? Do you like it ?"

Dad asked me giddily grinning from ear to ear like a little child.

"Like it ? I love it now whose is it ???" I asked looking around excitedly.

"it's yours baby, it's mine! It's ours!"

My dad said crossing the distance between us to hug me.

"How ? When ? W....." I was confused and very happy.

"Where's your box sweetie?" Dad asked laughing at me.

"It's in the car I didn't bring down" I said hurriedly.

"Well this is one of my surprise baby girl, I dont know how you'll take the second one though". "Yes honey you have a room to yourself". He added smiling at me .

In dad's former apartment we had to take turns using the bathroom and I slept in his room while he used the couch.

Dad did the honors of showing me around like a house tour kind of thing.

Yes I feel important right now.

The kitchen was right next to the dinning area with two rooms on the other side of the living room one's the guest room pretty empty just bed and shelf, the other room appears to be dad's study or home office whatever. Then there was the big game room and a bowling ball court in there .... can you imagine my luck ????.

There's a mini theatre room there like the cinemas but there was a big bed at one edge and armrest seats.

This place is magnificent. The cinema even has a snack bar filled with everything.

When I say everything I mean a year load of M n M, KitKats crunchies, caramel popcorns ..... everything is there

Now upstairs; There's this big library stocked with books and great tall mahogany shelves, then dad's room, one other empty room and of course my room.

It was painted white with pink polka dots all over. The wall by my bed had a blue wallpaper with different dream catchers hung on it.

I smiled to my self as I walked into the overly spacious walk in closet. This is a dream come true can't wait to update mom I squeaked happily and I ran down the stairs.

"Hey dad !" I said to my dad that's now sprawled in the couch watching a Netflix series I picked up my duffel bag and went towards to refrigerator. Holy smokes it's filled to the brim i picked three different sodas and popcorn from the drawer above and skipped upstairs to my room.

" Good night honey" dad called after me.

***********

After staring at the tv for a while I brought out my phone and FaceTime mom.

"April!!!!!....where was your phone I was dead ass worried" mom said with a sign of relive.

"I'm fine mom, dad has a new huge house and a pretty car he's house is sooo beautiful it has everything and more good looking than ours. Mom it's huge" I told my mom everything about the house and how I thought dad was pulling tricks back in the car.

We talked about pretty much everything then said our good nights not before the long "I love you don't trust dad and stay safe epistle".

Well I finally got off the phone I poured out the contents of my bag to my bed and started hanging and folding into my walk in closet.

I plugged my phone and decided to go to the toilet with my laptop I take hours there don't ask me why.

Then I heard my phone ring again I ran back quick to the room maybe it's my best friend Samantha weird name. We made fun of her a lot in school cos....Oh my phone's still ringing

"Hey Watsup" I said without looking at the caller

"What's up your self, gat a minute??"

"Mom" I asked out loud "what's it now?" I asked my mom

" Your dad....." my mom said and stopped

"Yes, what about dad" I questioned back

"Does he ....uhnmmm....you....know....uhnmmm.....a wife??" mom asked and coughed awkwardly.

"Mom!!!" I said laughing out my guts

"For now he doesn't, it's just my room and his that's set up and I didn't feel or perceive any feminine shits like that.....mom the house is clean from females for now" I said laughing really hard

"What's so funny don't tell your dad I asked ok ?? Good night!"

I went to the bathroom peacefully thinking about mom and dad.

They've been separated for mad long but they recently agreed to make it official five months ago mom brought the idea but dad's yet to sign the last papers always claiming work or stuff.

Well if dad signs the divorce papers now in less than six months time they will be officially and legally divorced I still don't know why dad hasn't signed yet though looks like mom still loves him but she won't admit. Dad's gonna remarry soon every lady wants her man accomplished and successful.

And dad has managed to be just that.

**********

Many uncounted hours later !!!

I came out of the bathroom after my long cold bath all ready for sleep. I opened my closet and realized I brought just one night gown and there's still a lot of room for more clothes accessories and shoes gonna tell dad tomorrow.

I need to go clothes shopping

I turned off the light and stayed awake my thoughts drifting to my mom, my best friends and my boyfriend I already miss them and it's not even up to a day here.

Funny how I thought I'll never return to Boston when I was fifteen.

Well here I am finding it cool and richly.

**********

YEAH!!!!!! I'm still awake I said angrily to my self.

After about one hundred squats and another Tour around dad house I didn't understand why I can't fall asleep.

Well, there's this thought buried in me that I'm afraid to let my self wonder into.

I walked towards the desk in my room and bent down to take something from the Last drawer it was the picture that red hair with pretty blue eyes gave me on the plane.

Yeah I've been thinking about her and the fact that she drew me. She's quite an artiste. I giggled at the sight of me on straddling her in the plane it was romantic and .....

STFU!!!!

I said to my inner voice why will I think staying with a girl is romantic????....!!!

Why ????

I went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face and jumped on my bed and pulled the comforter up to my chin.

That's me trying to block the pretty artiste from my mind.

I have a boyfriend back at home and a group of friends so I can't let this stranger sway my thoughts !

Bloom😈💊

Bloom ...

It's been two weeks since my trip from newton, two weeks since my subscribers count remained stagnant, two weeks to summer holidays. I really can't wait to college to be over cos I didn't really grab anything this semester.

I was mostly in newton and schools there are more accommodating and reasonable. And again no mom and dad studies because easier and fun, not a forceful activity I do every day.

Two weeks since my trip from Emily's place, two weeks since my incident in the airport, two weeks since I've been thinking of that beautiful nameless girl, two weeks since that creature has been visiting my dreams making them less chaotic.

" BLOOM!!!!" I heard my dad call from wherever he was.

Urgh. I rolled my eyes and got up from my bed.

When I got to the kitchen, I met both my parents standing by the kitchen island. How I hate this little family meetings.

"Dad you called ?" I asked trying to look as innocent as I could.

"Yes, I did." He's replied holding up an envelope That was sent through the mail.

"We understand this average performance of yours is due to Emily's influence on you" my mom began. "We won't condone this next semester" my mom added looking at me tenderly.

"College is not child's play". Dad stated and left the kitchen.

"I believe in you honey, it's probably due to change of Enviroment." My mom simply said. "Do better next session" she added and patted my back.

I smiled at her knowing she's trying her best to protect me from my dad I just took the envelope off the table and left.

I really don't care about what my parents say cos college is hard and it takes strong willed students to scale through with perfect grades and I know I put in my best in my education.

Especially when I've been transferred like two times.

**************

I woke up with the sound of my alarm blaring loudly into my ears.

"Oh shoot!!!!" I said looking at the time it's 10:23 pm already.

I quickly went down to my parents room and listened well at their front door and I left.

I brought out my phone smiling at how many messages I have already.

A; get your ass here!!!! 4:45 pm

A; hey baby I thought you are back home??? 6:38 pm

A; bunny ???? 9:00 pm

A;I'm coming over to get you at 10.

C; hey idiot. I've missed you

R; party at my house. See you in the mid night.

Group chat ; is bloom back?

; is she coming to the party

; sup lesbian bring Avery along.

I read them and I replied all of them.

Avery is my girlfriend.

Chad is my pretty outrageous nerd friend

Raymond lets us host parities in his house.

His parents are abroad.

Yeah, that's pretty much my group and life. No time to think about what what happened with that girl in the plane no more. I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!!!!.

*****************

I ran into the bathroom and took the quickest bath. I brushed my hair then went through my closet thinking of what to wear.

I picked a deep blue tank top and a black spiky jacket with black leather pants. I just picked the first flat boots I saw.... yeah it's black.

Then I sat in my dresser table and dyed like a hand full of my hair black then I brought out my straightener, "missed you kiddo" I said and I Kisses the tip, plugged it and straightened my now red hair with black in the tips and a handful in the left.

I did my make up quick nothing much just the black eye pencil and I drew my eye liner thicker today that's it I gave my self a let satisfied look before turning around to lock my door from the inside, set my alarm to 8:00 am. And my phone alarm to 4:30 am.

Then I gently lowered my self through the window.

I waked out with an aura that spelled dangerous.

I let the breeze push through my hair.

I've missed this feeling ....

FREEDOM

AT

LAST !!!!!!!.

**************

"Hey bunny where are you?" Avery asked me screaming into the phone.

"It's bloom and I'm almost there". I said smiling, I waved to the red car coming towards me.

"Hey!!" I said to the girl in the car.

"Hey??!! I've missed you bunny" Avery said jumping on me and kissing me hard at the same time.

Yeah I missed this.

"Slow down pretty" I said trying to laugh between the kisses she was giving me.

I slowly moved towards the the car and rested in it with my girl friend in my arms.

Her too was already on the ground, that's how much effect I have on her.

I was about to turn around and place Avery on the bonnet of the car...

"GO MAKE OUT SOMEWHERE ELSE". An elderly woman screamed from her car with her full lights on us.

"Oh no" Avery said between muffled laughter as she jumped from down her car and picked up her top we drove off laughing so hard.

"Well that wasn't supposed to happen" Avery screamed honking so loud and she laughed.

"It happens" I Replied her with my hand already on her thighs again.

"Step on it" I yelled referring to the gas then the car ran off in an impressive speed.
