Ever Lasting Love

Over The Phone

"Stacy where are you...you know i've been here for 15 minutes and you're nowhere to be seen" i promised Lisa that we would go to get water from the river together this afternoon and it was already 15:30 pm "you can be so dramatic sometimes friend...i'm right behind you babes" i said holding a bucket to my stomach with my left hand and phone on the right close to my ear. she turned around to see me in my red mid thigh round plight skirt,white vest,lip gloss, Black and White pushins and braids held in a high ponytail touching my small waist. Lisa was wearing the same attire but her vest was black and pushins were blue with white stripes... people always say that we tell each other what to wear but, we never did such a childish thing. "girl please, give me some break... what i wanna talk about is the biggest ceremony coming up this weekend....." she said jumping up and down while clapping hands excited for my adulting ceremony "Stacy i can't wait to see the man whose gonna choose you and your babies in two years to come uh...." I cut her before she could even finish that sentence "whoa Lisa what the fuck did you just say...in two years really babes" we both laughed and took buckets filled with water over our heads going home as it was getting dark "jokes aside now stacy for real...you know the rules to our friendship first 'make sure you never lose anyone trusted for a man', second ' never stay in a toxic relationship' third and last 'always ask for help when you need it' , we promised each other and our grandmothers that we would change lifes for the best" now Lisa was being deep and heartbreaking but, what she said wasn't a lie...we always lived by our vows to ourselves and grannies, making sure that learning from mistakes is a lesson. After a slow 20 minutes we parted ways going home. when i arrived nana was waiting for me at the door looking worried "nana are you okay... what's going on?" She pulled in for a hug after helping me put the bucket down "Anna you scared me little girl...i saw you taking a long time at the river then fear got the best of me, honey you should understand that after losing both your parents in one day...my heart can't take another bad news" i understood her fear, she wasn't lying about not being able to get hurt again. "Hey nana nothing bad will happen to me okay and we shouldn't be crying right now but, preparing for (Umemulo) and Andrew practicing the dance with his friends... anyway where's he at nana" As those words left my mouth Andy appeared from his typing something on the screen " come on sis...my buddy's and i are always ready for action so, just wait till you see it and can you get that water tank before weekend please...oh my lady here's some hot chocolate for you" he said handing nana a cup before settling down next to her on a couch. "I think they'll be here tomorrow around 10:00am to drop it off...just hope you'll be home to check if all my orders have been delivered and signed by" i responded heading to my room for a bath before dinner then went to bed.
