“So are you going home now?” I asked him.


    “Not yet, but maybe I’ll go hometer. I don’t have anything else to do here.” Calvin replied.


    “Why don’t youe with us, we’re going somewhere,” I suggested.


    “Is that okay? Isn’t it too embarrassing?”


    “No, do you know how to drive?” I asked him.


    “Yeah, I got my driver’s license when I was neen, but I don’t have a vehicle to use,” he exined.


    I was too curious to find out what their life had been like with their mother. I’m still waiting for a response from Arthur. I only told Arthur to look into their lives a day ago.


    I can’t say they’re in pain based on how they dress. I’ll be able to learn the truth about their situation.


    Calvin and I go to the mall. While I don’t see any of the girls. Maybe they were all in the car.


    “This is my car, Calvin,” I informed him.


    He slid open the driver’s door. And then I went through the other door. When I turned around, they were all stunned and staring at Calvin.


    “Who is he, Miss?” inquired Laica.


    “Hello, girls, my name is Calvin, and I’m Zaneska’s brother,” Calvin introduces himself.


    They all said, “Nice to meet you.”


    Did I think he was the shy type? Why are you droning on?


    “Are they the ones you have at home?” vin asked.


    “Yes why?”


    “Nothing, how many are they all?”


    “There are nine of them in the house with me, and we’ve been together in the mansion for four years,” I replied.


    “You won’t be sad there because they’re there,” he said, while the girls just stared in the mirror in front of us. But I know they’re paying attention.


    “At the hotel, remember the man with me in the office; he’s my assistant; his birthday is tomorrow, so I’ll surprise him at twelve o’clock in the evening,” I replied.


    “I see, you’re a good boss,” Calvin said.


    “Of course, which hotel do you want to go?”


    “In luxury hotels,” I replied.


    “All right.”


    We were in front of the luxury hotel in less than two minutes. I went out first, and the girls followed.


    “Aren’t you going inside the hotel?” I’ll ask him.


    “I’ll just wait here, sister,” Calvin replied, “and you can go inside.”


    We all went inside at the same time after I nodded.


    “Miss, if you’re that handsome to be my driver, I’d rather go out every day,” Lazzy said.


    I justughed.


    “I’m sorry, but he doesn’t want a woman,” I exined.


    They appear perplexed by what I am saying.


    “What does he want a man?” Lucianna ask.


    “He also like a woman but he still doesn’t really feel like having a girlfriend. Or, more urately, he is not yet ready.”


    They appeared to be breathing heavily, which I noticed.


    “Why can’t you ept that he might be gay just in case?” I inquire.


    “Miss, he’s handsome, then he became gay, and I’m sure many women would be crying,” iza said.


    I’m justughing.


    I approached the front desk.


    “Hello, ma’am, what can I help you with?” the woman asked me.


    “Let’s make a reservation or cater for my friend’s surprise birthday; are you open until twelve o’clock in the evening?” I’ll ask.


    “Yes, Ma’am, we’re open twenty-four hours a day; where do you want to be on the rooftop? How many people do you have?” the woman asked.


    “One hundred or more, just add it, maybe he has a lot of visitors, and then we’re just on the roof,” I replied.


    “That’s fine, ma’am.”


    “Pleasepute everything and call me when you’re done; we’ll eat first,” I said.


    “Of course, ma’am,” she say.


    “Find our table, girls; I’m just going outside to Calvin,” I instructed.


    I got out of the car and walked to my parked car. I didn’t see Calvin inside when I opened it, but I did see him standing outside a boutique. He was looking for a long-sleeved shirt. Maybe he liked it. I approached him.


    “Calvin, what are you doing here?” I asked him.


    “Nothing, I just look while waiting for you.” he replied.


    But I notice he wants to purchase the long-sleeved shirt that the mannequin is wearing.


    “Come inside; we’ll eat first,” I said.


    “I’m still full, sister,” he exined.


    “It’s twelve o’clock in the afternoon, and I’m hungry as well,” I exined.


    As a result, he had no choice but to go inside. When he was gone, I went inside the boutique and looked at the blue long sleeve Calvin had been staring at from the outside.


    “Miss, I’ll buy this and onedenim pants and a pair ofshoes,” I told the saleswoman.


    “What size, ma’am?” she asked me.


    “Can I had a ballpen and paper? I’ll write the size,” I exined.


    She gave me a scrap of paper and a ballpoint pen. Calvin’s waist and foot measurements were taken. I did the calctions. I hope it’s appropriate for him.


    I chose children’s clothing. I’ll also buy vin’s brother whole and shoes so they can attend Randolf’s birthday party. I went with a pink one with a lot of flowers and a half shoe. I proceeded to pay at the counter. Then I walked out of the boutique with everything I had purchased. I threw it in my car and drove straight to the hotel. The woman at the front desk smiled and waved at me.


    “How was it?” I ask the woman.


    “Everything is settled, ma’am; here’s the bill,” he said as he handed me the bill.


    I epted the offer and paid.


    I went to our table in the restaurant. It’s a good thing that all of our orders are ready. Because I’m starving.


    “Have you eaten yet, Calvin?” I asked. “Did you like the foods, or do you want to add something else?”


    “I’m fine, sister; I’ll eat anything,” he exined.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    I nodded and began to eat as well. Even the girls remained silent. It was only hunger that brought them all to their knees.


    We were finished eating in half an hour. After I paid, we went out together.


    “Miss, we’re all just going somewhere; is it okay if you wait here?” they ask me.


    “Of course,” I replied.


    “Sister, I’m going home; maybe my mom is looking for me; I still don’t have a phone to call you,” he told me.


    “Just a second,” I said.


    I took four paper grocery bags and gave them to him.


    “What is this?” he inquired.


    “That’s for you and your sister. Go to the partyter, take her. That’s what you’re going to wear,” I said, smiling.


    “I can’t ept this, sister,” Calvin said.


    “ept that, it’s not a bribe to treat me well; I just want to give you that so the three of us can be close,” I exined.


    “Thank you; we’ll try to go, but our house is far from here in the city, and mother might not let us,” he says.


    “Just tell your mother that I invite you,” I advised.


    Calvin had already moved away from where I stood. While transporting the paper bags. I knew they couldn’teter because their mother wouldn’t let them. I got in first, and then they all did.


    “What did you go for?” I ask.


    “We intend to re-bond our hair, Miss,” Lucy said.


    “For a change? That’s great. Let’s go,” I said.


    “You’re going to treat usagain, Miss?” Lucianna ask.


    “Sure,” I replied.


    As a result, I started the car.


    “Where is it?” I’ll ask.


    “Near the Watsons,” Lazzy responded.


    “It’s right around the corner,” I exined.


    We all walked out and into the salon at the same time.


    “Is it okay here? Is it possible our hair will break?” I asked.


    “Let’s give it a shot, Miss,” Hannah suggested.


    “You go first,” I instructed.


    We also began to eat. Our food had allnded in the piece of cloth that had been ced in the sand.


    “Youe to see me a lot, Mitch, when we’re not too busy,” mother said.


    “All right, Aunt, what are you up to now?” Mitch inquired of his mother.


    Mom responded, “I’m your Uncle Augusto’s secretary.” Mitch gave a nod.


    “I’m taking her into the office with me, Mitch, because someone else might take her away from me again, so it’s best to keep an eye on her at all times,” Uncle said.


    Except for Mom, we were allughing. Her brow furrowed.


    “Stop embarrassing them, Augusto,” his mother reprimanded.


    “I’m sure it’s fine, Ma; you’re even more beautiful now,” Uncle said.


    “Shut your mouth!” mother eximed.


    I stood up and took Mitch’s hand in mine.


    “First, mom, Mitch and I are going for a walk,” I exined.


    “Yes.”


    Mitch and I have already begun our walk along the beach.


    “Are you full? I used to believe you didn’t eat.”


    “I ate a lot in the apartment, and I’ll eat moreter when I’m hungry. This ce is beautiful, and it’s very quiet,” Mitch exined.


    “Yeah, far away from the crowd, it’s calm, and the air is fresh,” I replied.


    “Yes, your mother is intelligent; I’m sorry, but I kept thinking negatively of her; I thought she wanted to see me or get to know me in order to say something bad,” Mitch exined.


    I burst outughing.


    “No one, not even my father, is like that; they’re kind.”


    “And Uncle Augusto was familiar to me; I’m not sure where I saw him,” Mitch exined.


    “He’s a well-known businessman in town, so it’s impossible that no one knows who he is,” I reasoned.


    “Yes, it’s as if I saw himin the news section of the magazine, but he’s also kind. Hisface is happy, and your sister is lovely. I immediately remembered my brothers and nephews in the province,” Mitch said.


    “How long have you been gone home?” I’ll ask.


    “It’s been a year, but I always send money there because I’d rather live here in the city than in the province because of the noise of my siblings. They always fight because their husbanddon’t have a decent job,” Mitch exined.


    “It’s really like that, that’s normal for a couple.” I said.


    “My sisters are very brave. But they don’t think they are to me for why they are having a hard time in life because they chose to get married early than to study and have a good life.” said Mitch.


    “It’s their choice, because you know they think more about how they feel.” I said.


    “Then they will regret it when they have had many children and they are having a hard time in life. So when they have money problems they don’t go straight to ask me because I will really scold them all. It is not so easy to find money here in the city.” ‘He said. Mitch.


    “It’s really like that when one of them has a work together. Help when you have money, maybe they won’t insist if you don’t.” I exined.


    Mitch gave a nod.


    “Can you tell me what time it is?” Mitch inquired.


    “It’s five o’clock in the afternoon.”


    “Can you take me to the coffee shop today? I’m on duty from six o’clock until morning; are you all right?” he asked.


    “Sure, no problem, let’s go,” I replied.


    So we walked back to Uncle and mother.


    “Mom, I’m going to take Mitch home because she has dutyter; will you sleep here, Uncle?” I’ll ask.


    “Yes,” Uncle said.


    “Come back here or at least at home, Mitch, I’ll cook you some delicious food,” mother said.


    “Yes, Aunt,” Mitch said, kissing my motheron the cheek.


    “We’re leaving; Melissa, we’ll y when Ie back,” Mitch said.


    “All right, Sister Mitch,I’ll wait for you.” Melissa said.


    As the two of us walked out the gate, Mitch waved to them.


    “I hope you eat again so you can get to work right away; where can I take you to the coffee shop right away?” I asked.


    “Yes, I have a uniform there, and don’t worry, I can eat there because they provide dinner,” Mitch exined.


    I drove away from the beach house.


    We haven’t left the salon yet.
