Accidental Brother

Chapter 38
I went inside, quite excited to see the devil, I tiptoed inside, I wanted to scare him, how mischievous of me, I want to see his epic reaction
"Why the tiptoe," he asked from behind me startling me, how funny the table turns
"Nothing," I said, he looked at me with narrowed vision
"You are back" I heard Martha said from behind me, I turned, she looks sad
"What's wrong?" I asked as I went to her
"It's my parents" she replied "I came since 5, your brother was home so I decided to wait, please can I sleepover," she asked, she normally sleepover but since the devil came back she hasn't
"Sure," I said, my brother is already in his room, he really doesn't have human sympathy.
"Hope the devil wasn't hard on you," I asked, she smiled
"Actually no, he has been very entertaining, I never expected him to give me encouragement on my situation," she said and it surprised me
"Oh" was my only reply "let me freshen up," I said and went inside to bath. Martha really deserves a moment of peace, her parents always fight alerting the entire neighborhood.
It took me like 30 minutes to freshen up, I was stuck to the ground when I came out and saw Martha and the devil playing card game, the devil is smiling and Martha is laughing. I have never been able to make her this happy whenever her parents fight, but the devil did it with just playing card
"I won again" Martha screamed and did a happy dance, am jealous that I have never made my best friend this happy, but more down the devil have never casually smiled at me like this
"Come on I will smoke you next time," he said
"Prepare to eat shit," she said, the devil that never glance any girls way is having a happy moment with my best friend, I should be happy but why am I not.
"Can I join?" I asked, that's when they noticed my presence
"Sure," Martha said, with a smile plastered on her face. We played for more 10 minutes, but it was as if that its only Martha and the devil, for I am easily defeated. They kept laughing and talking
"Am going to bed" I said and they just nodded, they are happy, I should be happy. I went to bed, I couldn't sleep, am tired but my mind was wide awake. Martha came in an hour later
"Your brother is a blast" she squealed, and once again her happy face made me happy, and bad for feeling sad earlier.
"Yea he is," I said, I kept awake with her before she falls asleep, still I couldn't sleep, so I decided to go watch some film in the leaving room. When I came out the devil is already there
"Why aren't you asleep?" I asked
"Bad dreams," he said with a shrug
"Wow, so the devil is scared" I teased, he smiled
"What of you?" he asked
"Nothing just wild night" I replied and sat on the chair next to him
"How is Martha," he asked
"She is fine" I answered and he just nodded. Seems the devil have a love interest now. Am curious to see how it turns, we quietly watch tv till I fell asleep.
I woke up on my bed the next morning, I wondered how I got there, yes even the day we got wasted I remember sleeping in the living room
"You brother sure knows how to take care of you," Martha said
"How do you mean?" I asked
"He carried you inside last night, it woke me up when he was covering you up," she said, and it sweetened my heart making me smile, I felt my face heat up, did I just blush.
The morning is chilling, its December our exam is on Monday, Martha and I decided to study together, the devil left us alone, Martha went home by 12, she is sad she didn't see the devil before leaving, our parents came back later at night.
I finally spoke with Oliver, yesterday I didn't pick up yesterday, my mind was occupied, he kept talking how super awesome the kiss was and how he wants to do it again, teenage boys but I don't mind. when we got to school we all got ready for the exam.

My Monster

Chapter 22 "So now you out in the open are you prepared to shoulder everything?" Mr. Stephenson asked him. "Am ready for all that" he answered looking at me, Mr. Stephenson walked towards me and held my hand "I don't know what you did to him, but whatever it is, am eternally grateful," he said, I felt so high, Mr. Stephenson, among the top ten richest in the country, is grateful towards me "Am honoured sir," I said and he smiled. "Papa, from the monthly company file you sent me, I found out there is a loop in the company's account, someone is stealing from the company and he or she knows how to hide his/her track." He said I looked at him, right now he doesn't look like the same teenage boy I walked the stairs with, he is now the heir of a mobile network company. "Oh, what to do?" papa asked, but not phased. "Give out the call to have every member surveyed," he replied, I feel so inferior, he is i...
