EPISODE 37; WE ARE READY
I got woken up by giggles and shouts from outside my room which left me wondering what was going on or perhaps I just have crazy dudes all around me cause I don’t understand how folks in their right senses will be screaming and giggling at this time of the day.
It’s just 10 Am for Christ’s sake. Like I was fuckingly enjoying my sleep until they began their unending screams. I even had to use my pillows to cover my ears but yet it wasn’t able to restrain their screams.
I also had to put on my earpiece so it can help me less the noise but instead of lessening, their screams kept increasing that I picked up my alarm clock and smashed it against the wall then threw the earpiece away. Such a marred morning. Ahh!
“Hey, Snipy. Are you gonna sleep all day!” A voice screamed from outside my room and I recognized it to be the voice of the Queen. I rolled my eyes at her even though she couldn’t see me and didn’t reply.
They kept screaming and giggling but suddenly stopped and everywhere became dead silent.
Hmm, I exhaled, smiled, and closed my eyes to sleep back but a song started blazing all over in a very high volume.
The bass of the song kept vibrating my bed and room entirely. Gosh! I breathed and patted my forehead.
At that point, I understood that they just wanted to pull me out of my room but I think they should try harder.
The song played for a while and suddenly stopped too and I smiled once more. I was about to relax back on the bed when I heard Dagrin murmur but I couldn’t really grab what he said so I closed my eyes and ignored it.
“Kiss her Declan! Kiss her Declan!” They started screaming and my eyes wiggled open instantly.
Kiss who? Who do they want my Declan to kiss? They must be kidding cause Declan is mine!
“Yes, Declan. Go on. Yes! Yes! Grab her! Spank those sexy asses of hers” Dagrin’s voice echoed and my eyes dilated.
Nah, this can’t happen. Not when I’m still alive. And definitely not under my watch. Declan is mine and mine alone!
I speedily climbed down from my bed, rushed to the door, flipped it open and scurried out without even checking my face in the mirror, and even forgot to put on my flip-flops.
I got to the entry room and no one was there. I kept looking around including under the couches but still no traces of them.
“Silly fellows” I murmured and stamped my foot.
“Ta-dah!” Linda’s voice shrieked behind me and I whirled. “I thought you would’ve at least flinched” she added and I scoffed at her. “Good Morning to you too” I whispered and she smiled. “Good morning Snipy.”
“I heard you guys screaming at Declan to kiss someone. Who was that?”
“Are you jealous?” she retorted and winked at me.
“Just answer my question, Linda.”
“It was all prank to pull you out” she chuckled. “No one has the guts to kiss your love. But why do you still keep your feelings for him a secret?”
“Where are others?” I implored avoiding her question.
“We are here!” Declan screamed from a room in front of us and they all rushed out looking so messy with their scattered hairs.
Declan, Dagrin, Jayden, and Lucas were clad in torn wet clothes while the ladies were on worn-out bum shorts and tops and also had white powdered substance all over them. I had thought it was just my crazy dudes but then my brother walked out dressed in a more tattered way. He was clad in a wet powdered torn female top and worn-out bum shorts.
“Liam, even you!” I wailed. What’s all this Declan? Why are you all looking this way?”
“It wasn’t my idea Mistress” he retorted and raised his hands in the air.
“Then who’s idea was it? Dagrin right?”
“It wasn’t my idea too Mistress” Dagrin replied and also raised his hands in the air.
“Ok, I don’t know you to be a dude of plays and jokes Jayden. Are you the brain behind this?”
“I’m not Mafia Lord. Trust me” he replied and raised his hands in the air.
“Then it must be you Lucas cause you play a lot. Why will you tell them to do such?”
“I’m sorry to burst your bubbles Mafia Lord but I only joined the play. I’m not the one who brought up the idea” he grumbled and also raised his hands in the air.
I glanced at the ladies with a raised brow and they all raised their hands too. “If it isn’t your ideas, then who’s idea was it?” I muttered and ruffled my hair.
“Aren’t you forgetting someone?” Ariana asserted and grinned.
“Who?” I asked not remembering anyone else. “Liam?” I suddenly blurted out and turned to him. “You’re the brain behind this Liam?”
“Yes I am” he answered begrudgingly. “I just wanted everyone to have fun before I leave and before you guys leave too. And also to celebrate my survival from coma. I basically stayed in coma for five years and some months.”
“Ok, it’s perfectly fine to celebrate your survival from coma but what do you mean by before you leave? Where are you going to?”
“I knew you wouldn’t allow me to go on your mission with you guys cause I don’t have the basic training for such so I’ve decided to go back home rather than staying here. I’ll be far better at home with dad than staying here all alone. I already spoke with him last night and he was so happy to know I’m still alive. You don’t have to think much about that, I didn’t tell him that I’m with you. I just told him a good Samaritan saved me. In case you will wanna stop me, my flight has been booked already. I’m leaving by dusk today. You can come see me when all this is over. I’ll be waiting for you. And hey you’re not allowed to die on me.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Do you all know about this?” I asked feeling my tears dripping.
“Yes, we do” they all answered in unison. “He demanded to make that call immediately you went to bed last night and I didn’t have any other option than to get him a phone. He only told us that he wanted to speak with his dad. It was early this morning that he woke me up and told me his plans and I, in turn, told my brother who in turn told the few people that were awake then. It circulated like that” Declan added.
I nodded, cleaned off my tears, strolled to Liam, and drew his nose making him chuckle. “You’ve always been a smart dude so I’m not surprised that you figured out that I’ll never allow you to go with us. And I respect your decision so I don’t have a reason to stop you. I’ll never die on you. ok? Keep waiting for me cause I’ll surely come to you.”
“I know you will” he retorted and hugged me.
“Aww” Ariana and Linda moaned and I glared at them.
“But how did you all get these clothes?” I asked.
“All thanks to our darling Mira” Dagrin replied and winked at me.
“Silly fellows” I mumbled under my breath and was about walking out when a bucket of water landed on me followed by a bank of flour.
“Who did this!” I shrieked and turned but they were nowhere to be seen.
“Come get us if you can” Linda’s voice echoed.
I stamped my feet, patted my forehead, and rushed off in search of them.

“That was a hell of a play then” Jayden mumbled after several hours that we were done playing and I chuckled. We played Ludo, hide and seek, etc.
“It sure was” I replied. “You should forget the play and focus on what is at hand.”
“Your chauffeur is here Mistress” Dagrin announced.
“Check on my brother and know if he’s ready” I ordered.
“I am” his voice sounded behind me.
I stood up, sauntered to him, and hugged him for the last time before Dagrin led him out.
“He’s gone Mistress” Dagrin whispered and settled down beside me.
“Good. After much consideration, I’ve decided that Ariana will be striking the deal. Nevertheless, I’ll be close to her in case anything goes wrong.”
“You got to be careful Ariana, we don’t wanna lose anyone. We want a smooth ride. Give us your best” Declan mumbled.
“Trust me” she grinned.
“Are we ready?”
“Yes we are” they answered and I smiled.
“This is a button video and voice recorder” Dagrin muttered stretched his hands at us. “Please you all should pick one each.”
We did as he instructed and he taught us how to fix it.
“Are we good to go now?” I asked.
“The rest will come once we are Mumbai” Declan replied.
“Ok then, let’s move.”
We all stood up, strolled out, and climbed the piper.
“Are we set? About to take off” Dagrin implored.
“We are. Go on” I answered and he took off.
Oh blessed Jah. Keep us alive and make our mission successful.
