“Any plans today, Princess?”
“A few of the kids are down with a cold. I’ve canceled the program for the rest of the week to avoid a spread. I’ll send them instructions on practice. I have a private lesson with little Nick and lunch with Nkem. That should be it for today,” she quietly spills.
“Okay, you need to rest and not get sick as well. Can’t you cancel little Nick as well?”
“This is my last lesson with him. I won’t renew my contract. His dad is getting on my last nerves.” I hear the irritation in her voice.
“Is he still asking you out?” I bet she can hear the anger in my voice.
“No, he’s unusually polite, but his demeanor tells a different story.” I hear her shudder. “A bit cringy, I would say.”
“Okay, I’ll send Zack to you once I arrive at the office. He’ll be your driver today.”
“I can manage on my own, Daniel. I’m sure it would be a last peaceful lesson.”
“I’m sure it would be, but Zack is your driver today.”
“Fine, I didn’t feel like driving anyway. I was going to Uber.”
“Then it’s settled. I miss you.”
“Not sure I like you very much right now. You wore me out and I can still feel your imprint all over my body.”
“Just the way I like it, Princess,” I tease.
“Bye, Daniel, the irreplaceable guy.”
I laugh harder.
“Bye, Princess.” I hang up, smiling, knowing I’m irreplaceable.
I would rather she cancelled with the little boy, but I know she would fight me about it. She cares about her students.
I turn to Zack.
“Zack, once you drop me off at the office, return home and pick MAK up. Make sure you stay with her all day.”
“Yes, sir.”
I smile on my ride to the office. Living with Anu, I am guaranteed a life filled with laughter every day.
Chapter 44
Anu-Ms K
Nkem and I go shopping after my lesson with the kids. We have a few things we both need for the wedding and her cousin also sent a list of items she needs. As we shop, she tells me Teni has been calling and she had to block him.
“I’m sorry he’s harassing you,” I say to her.
She scoffs.
“You know I can handle him. Right now, my energy is best spent looking good for this event and not worrying about some entitled boy,” she says in her ‘I don’t gift a fuck’ manner. I laugh.
“Thanks, Nkem.”
“I got you. I know his ugly ass is going to try and pull some stunts, but I’m ready for him. I think he needs my crazy side to know that he needs to back off.”
“Please, just ignore him, because I plan to,” I sigh.
