I opened the door to my room with my free hand only to stop in my track when my eyes meet Pelumi's glare. She was sitted on the floor while Adura sat at the edge of my bed and styled her hair into two buns.

"What is it?" I ask her and shut the door behind me, I walk over to my bedside drawer and set the glass of juice on the it.

"Why did you tell Adura that I was throwing myself at Chris?" She said and I paused from opening the bread nylon to look at her figure on the floor then at my sister who was acting like she didn't know what was going on and was turning Pelumi's head back into place. I glared daggers at the back of her head, can't she ever keep her mouth shut?!

I throw my free hand up in the air in mock surrender even though they couldn't see me "forgive me for being outrightly blunt" and remind me not to tell my sister anything since she can't keep something to herself. I plop on my bed behind them and began to munch on bread and sip juice.

"I wasn't 'throwing' myself at him, I was only talking to him o or is that one now a crime too?" She said and I rolled my eyes at this, since when did clinging unto to someone with every fiber of your being count as talking?.

I ate my bread, sipped juice and spared glances at my phone like as if someone important would text me not that I had that much friends. Adura was done with Pelumi's hair and she now gave my bread a long look before I shifted it away from her view.

"Why are you staring at my bread like that?" I asked giving her a suspicious look.

"Where did you get that bread from?" She asked me, Stupid question I thought and sized her with an irritated look on my face.

"What's that one? Did your bread loss? Abeg o this is my bread" I said and took a good sizable bite out of it and chewed in a way that's intended to make her jealous.

" Where's my own bread?" She asked me, sometimes I wonder where she left her sense or why this creature is even my sister.

"What kind of stupid question is that one na? Is it not you I saw eating your bread this morning? Or have you forgotten already?" I wrinkled my nose at her.

"Then how did you now get the bread you're eating?"

"Ask me very well, like as if you saw me eating bread this morning" I kissed my teeth at her and ate my bread, my eyes wandered over to Pelumi who was taking in her reflection in front of the floor length mirror at the wall opposite my room door.

"Whatever!, Mummy said you should go to the restaurant, I don't even know why you're still here" she sized me.

I drank the last of my juice "You that said you have extra classes at school today, why are you still here?" I clicked my tongue at her. This stupid sister of mine knew how to get on my nerves and cook up excuses to get off doing something. She kissed her teeth at me and slammed the door behind her as she left.

Pelumi's eyes me for what seems like a whole minute "why didn't you remain bread for me?" Haew Jesus Christ of Nazareth! I give her an irritated look before saying "why are you always coming to eat from me when there's food in your house?"

She kissed her teeth at me and walked out of the room making a show of slamming the door behind her. What's their problem sef? It's definitely long throat, I kissed my teeth and got up from my bed to change out of the clothes I was wearing.

The journey to my mother's restaurant wasn't a long one, just a walk down the street and a Keke ride to the junction and I was there.

"Your mother said you should talk to that boy that wants to work here" Beauty said to me the moment I walked through the glass doors into the restaurant, she was clearing up a table.

"Why? Where's she?" I asked scanning the room like I would see her somewhere.

She gives me this look like saying don't I know? "She said she was going to visit somebody and she'll not bother branching here when she gets back"

I scoffed, my mother was good at doing things like this. The Nigerian mother in her always presumed that her children were matured enough for whatever it is she wanted them to do, not that I'm implying that we weren't matured enough.

"I told him to sit in the chair in front of your mother's office" with that Beauty leaves for the kitchen and I made my way to my mother's office, I don't look at him but I throw a greeting his way before searching my sling bag for my keychain which had the spare key to my mother's office which she had entrusted to me.

I entered the office, dropped my bag on the office desk and maneuvered my way around the desk to my mother's chair and I sat down. A sly smile crawl unto my face as I made myself comfortable sitting in my mother's chair, I felt like a boss, like I had power over something.

Someone cleared their throat bringing me back to reality and I just blink at the fine looking tall boy standing in front of me, this was the kind of boy I could give up all my food for and to me giving up my food for anyone was a huge deal because I loved food so much but ironically no matter how much I ate I never showed signs of getting fat, it was like the gene to grow fat slipped past me when I was born.

"Good morning" he smiled and I felt my heart flutter "can I come in?"

I kept staring at him until sense came into my head "yes yes, sure come in" I blurted. I must be going mad, he must think I don't have sense with the way I'm acting, how could I possibly act so stupid, I mentally scolded myself.

I busied myself by searching my mother's desk drawers for the interview question form. I found it and stared for a minute at the name of the Restaurant printed boldly on it, Lesi's Kitchen.

I grabbed a pen from the desk before spying a look at the boy who now bit on the bottom of his dark pink lip and took in his surrounding, the colour of his lips suited his dark brown skin perfectly. Ode imagine what you're thinking about, I scolded myself.

"Let's start" I said "what's your name?"

"Seun Eli Mobolade"

I peep at him for a moment, I felt like  I would definitely know him from somewhere. I returned to the interview and asked him other questions according to the form.
