that’s for keeping us waiting outside” Vanessa said.

 

 

 

I really wanted to pounce on her and beat the hell out of her cause no one has ever slapped me before not even my mother.

 

But I think about what my mother said and how her parent has been good to me and my mother.

 

 

 

because of your mama and Papa I no go do anything, but if you try am again, ahh…ahh…Ahhh….. I swear you go hate yourself ” I said.

with the sound of his accent and the look of his hair and face, he must be the gatekeeper” the youngest Katherine said.

maybe he’s not, maybe he’s the new housekeeper” Vanessa said.

 

he’s too over dress for a housekeeper as well” Paulina said.

 

 

 

 

“see this small small rat ooo, so because I dress fine, dem dey call me gateman” I thought.

 

 

 

why would mom and dad employ a man for as a housekeeper, he’s not even a man a boy a rude, crazy, arrogant and insolent stupid boy” Katherine said.

 

 

 

see this ant?……see her small mouth, e be like say dem no use hot water do hin mouth for am” I thought.

 

 

 

see his ugly and irritating face, see how thin he is just like a skeleton” Paulina said.

 

 

 

I fine pass your ancestors” I thought.

 

 

 

it doesn’t matter, he’s a slave afterall and he won’t last a week in this house since we are here” Vanessa said.

 

 

 

me slave, so na true my mama dey tell me about this rich people, anybody wey no get money na slave for their yeye eyes” I thought.

 

 

 

are you sure he’s even hearing what we are saying, he’s just staring at us like a zombie” Paul said.

 

 

 

na your destiny be deaf and dumb, stupid chide” I thought.

 

 

 

hey dumbass, take our bags inside” Vanessa said then they turned to go.

 

 

 

e be like say all of Una, your brain Don get fault, if you don finish your drama you go carry your bag by yourself…….stupid people” I said to them as I head inside.

this boy must crazy, I assure you will be fired” Paul said.

 

 

 

Heeyyy, where do you think you are going?…….are you a thief? ” Vanessa shouted but I ignored them all.

 

 

 

If they think they can control me then they must be crazy, I will show them that even me I get craze for head.

 

 

 

I will never allow what happened to my mother happened to me, i need to take charge of the situation here, I will never allow to be treated like a rag.

 

 

 

I went inside the house then rearrange the parlor, wash the dishes, clean the kitchen then went straight to my room without listening to their rubbish.

 

 

 

I got to my room then lock it from inside for me not to be disturbed then I jumped on the bed to have a nice nap.

.

 

Since Joseph refused to help them they have no choice but to help themselves.

 

where is he?……where did he go? ” Vanessa said as they entered the house.

 

 

 

Mom needs to hear about this” Paulina said.

 

My battery is dead, let me plug it and call mom” Vanessa said then bring out her phone from her handbag.

 

 

 

She plugged her phone and waited for a while for it to boost then she switched it on.

 

 

 

She waited for it to on properly then she scrolled through her contact then dialled her mother’s number, and after a few rings she picked up.

 

 

 

Heeeey, my babies are back” Mrs Richards said excitedly.

 

 

 

Mom, how could you do this?” Vanessa said.

 

Vanessa, is this the right way to greet your mother after three weeks” Mrs Richards cautioned.

 

 

 

I’m sorry mom, good afternoon” she said.

 

Good, so what got you all worked up?” Mrs Richards asked.

 

 

 

Mom, there’s a thief in the house” Vanessa said.

 

a thief?…..how?…..that’s impossible” Mrs Richards said.

 

 

 

there’s a thief in the house who claims you know him” Vanessa said and Mrs Richards breathe out in relief.

 

 

 

Vanessa, you scared me……joseph is not a thief, he’s our guest” Mrs Richards said.

 

 

 

you can’t believe what he did to us…….he made us waited outside for hours before we could enter, who the hell is he? ” Vanessa said angrily.

Vanessa and her siblings her in the parlor, while her siblings are watching a movie she was on her iPhone chatting with her friends.

 

 

 

Few minutes after six Mrs Richards came home and they went to hug her.

 

 

 

Gerty my babies are back” she said excitedly.

 

mummy we miss you” Katherine said.

 

 

 

oh I miss you too darling” Mrs Richards said.

 

how’s your holiday in the States? ” she asked.

 

 

 

it was fun” Paulina said.

 

Mom, what that in your hand?” Katherine asked.

 

 

 

I got you guys pizza” she said then dropped it on the table.

 

I’ve stock some yoghurt in the fridge, you can drink it along” Mrs Richards said.

 

 

 

Then opened the pack and take a piece each and started eating.

 

where’s Joseph? ” Mrs Richards asked.

 

 

 

Mom, who is crazy guy?” Vanessa asked.

 

 

 

don’t call him crazy Vanessa, he’s a human being just like you….and also he’s older than you so I won’t allow you call him crazy……okay” Mrs Richards cautioned.

 

 

 

okay mom” Vanessa said.

 

so you are saying” Mrs Richards said.

 

Mom, who is he and what’s he doing here?” Vanessa asked.

 

 

 

his name is Joseph, your father and I went to the village to visit your grandma and…….”

 

oh grams, how is she?” Paula asked interrupting her.

 

 

 

she’s doing good sweetie…..she misses you guys” she said.

 

Mom, go on” Vanessa reminded.

 

 

 

oh yeah, so your grandma wanted him to live with us and we agreed to it, and also he did us a great favour which we can never repay” Mrs Richards said.

 

 

 

then give him money and let him go cause he has to go” Vanessa said.

 

why?” Mrs Richards asked.

 

 

 

mom, after the taxi man dropped us at the gate, we click the doorbell and waited for about an hour without seeing anybody” Vanessa said.

 

 

 

you can’t blame him, he just got here, he doesn’t know much about this place” Mrs Richards said.

 

 

 

that’s not all mom, can you imagine that he made us wait at the gate for hours just because he wanted us to apologize to him” Vanessa said.

 

 

 

apologize?……for what?…..what did you do? ” Mrs Richards asked.

 

 

 

we…we….uhm…..we told him to open the gate but he was too sluggish so we kinda abuse him, he locked us out until we all apologize to him” Vanessa said and Mrs Richards laughed.

 

 

 

momm, this is not a laughing matter…..I’m serious” Vanessa said.

 

 

I’m..uh…I’m sorry darling, he do have some weird behavior but don’t worry you will like him” Mrs Richards said.

 

 

 

Mom, are you not hearing what I’m saying, we don’t want him here….he needs to go” Vanessa said.

 

 

 

yes mom, he needs to leave” Paulina said.

 

we don’t want him here mom” Paul said.

 

 

 

well sorry to disappoint you guys, he’s our guest so we can’t sent him away” Mrs Richards said.

 

 

 

okay then when is he leaving?” Vanessa asked.

 

I don’t know, but he’s not leaving any time soon, he’s gonna stay with us for a very long time” Mrs Richards said.

 

 

 

whhhaaaaaat” they all exclaimed loudly.

 

but mom……”

 

 

 

I’m not hearing any of this again,…..he’s not leaving and that’s final” she said and they all frowned their face.

 

 

 

Katie, go to the room beside Paul’s and call him out” Mrs Richards said and Katherine stood up reluctantly and went upstairs to call Joseph.

Joseph’s POV

 

.

 

I was sleeping with ease and with no disturbance until I heard a loud bang which woke me up, it took me a minute to know that it’s from my door.

 

 

 

 

I walked to the door then unlocked it only to see the little ant staring at me with evil eyes.

 

 

 

I suggest you keep locking your door or else I promise you, you won’t have a very good sleep” she said.

 

 

 

will you keep kwayet and tell me wetin you dey find” I said and she glared at me.

 

mom is back and she’s calling you ” she said then left.

 

 

 

aaahhh, this bad pikin go Don tell her wetin I do to them, maybe na the reason she dey call me be that” I thought.

 

 

 

no Wahala naw, if they wan make I leave then I go kuku leave, at least I kuku enjoy small” I said then went downstairs.

 

 

 

heyy, Joseph are you sleeping?” Mrs Richards asked and I nodded affirmative.

 

I’m so sorry to disturb you” she said.

 

 

 

it’s okay ma” I replied then I went to sit.

 

do you have another dream? ” she asked.

 

no ma” I replied.

 

 

 

oh no problem then, here come have this” she said pointing to something on the table.

 

momm, I thought you said you got it for us” Vanessa said.

 

 

 

I said everyone not you alone besides you can’t eat all this by yourself” Mrs Richards said.

 

 

 

wetin be this? ” I asked as I got closer to the table.

 

it’s called pizza, have some” she said.

 

 

 

which kain food is Peter?” I asked and they laughed.

 

it’s not Peter..Joseph, it Pizza ” she corrected.

 

 

 

” eh ehn” I said then pick one piece.

 

I ate it and it is indeed delicious I quickly finish the one in my hand then pick another one.

 

 

 

auntie, this thing sweet ooo” I said.

 

Glutton” Paul said and the kids laughed.

 

stop it, paul” Mrs Richards cautioned.

 

 

 

Joseph, go to the kitchen and pick a yoghurt” she said.

 

okay aunty, thank you” I said then went to the kitchen.

 

 

 

mom, I don’t like the way you are treating this guy” Vanessa said.

 

well get used to it cause he’s one of us now ” Mrs Richards replied and i smiled.

 

 

 

I picked the yoghurt and went back to the parlor and pick another piece of the pizza.

 

 

 

okay guys, I need to freshen up……I’ll be back to discuss what we are going to eat for dinner” she said then went to her room.

 

 

 

After their mother left I can see all of them staring at me as I eat the delicious pizza in their presence.

 

 

 

I don’t know how you get my Mom to like you but I assure you, your stay in this house is going to be hell” Vanessa said.

 

 

 

thank you” I said then drink more yoghurt.

 

ha ha, I swear this thing sweet well well ooo, una dey enjoy for this place ooo” I said.

 

 

 

enjoy it while you can cause it’s definitely not gonna last, fool” Katherine said.

 

hey listen Kat, you better shut up your mouth” I said.

 

 

 

don’t you dare call me that, tramp” she said back.

 

you see that your small mouth, na me go cut am for you” I said.

 

 

 

you wouldn’t dare do that” Paulina said.

 

 

 

shey because of the English wey you sabi na hin dey make you do gra gra abi, ah go show you pepper for this house” I said.

 

 

 

let’s leave him alone guys, we will get back to him” Vanessa said then they left the parlor.

 

 

 

I continue eating the sweet thing till I finish it then went to dispose the trash, then went back to the kitchen and noticed that those spoilt brat didn’t do the dishes.

 

 

 

I know if I don’t do it there mom will and I don’t want to stress that woman, so I wash the dishes and clean the kitchen.

 

 

 

Immediately I was done Mrs Richards came to the kitchen.

 

thank you for doing this” she said.

 

 

 

haha auntie, if I no do am wetin i kon dey do here” I said.

 

thank you ” she said.

 

 

 

Later that evening Mr Richards returned from work and his kids went to greet and he show how excited he is to see them.

 

 

 

They wasted no time to tell him of what I did to them and to their disappointment he overlooked it as well.

 

 

 

We ate dinner and said goodnight to each other and everyone went back to their rooms.
