RENTED LIFE 10

 RENTED LIFE 10

Simon was not at all surprised that Aaliyah chose to outshine her friend; it was no surprise to him that while Kuni was humbly dressed, Aaliyah was clad like she was the one on the date. Aaliyah taking the back seat while Simon and Kuni took the front seat had her burning with rage. However, she knew I was all part of the plan. Simon even came in his white range which he specifically told Aaliyah he would only drive on special occasions; guess the special occasion was Kuni. There was not much silence or awkwardness in the car as expected by Kuni as she thought Simon would be uneasy with having them both in the car. Well, Simon had barely acknowledged Aaliyah presence in the car when he got engaged in an unending conversation with Kuni. He was overly interested in every detail about her and even noticed the green emerald earrings she wore. They were a gift from her mother.

“Wow, those are strikingly beautiful emeralds” he said

Kuni smiled as she looked at him. “Thank you”

“Emeralds are precious” he added.

“Yes they are and they cost a fortune” she said.

“Oh they sure do especially if they are pure like the ones you are wearing”

“You’re making me blush”

“No I am serious... you must be rich” he giggled.

“Actually they were a gift from my mother; she gifted them to me after a wonderful white lady she worked for gave them to her. I appreciate them a lot and rarely wear them”

“Oh... is that so? I must be a lucky guy then to see you wearing them” 

Kuni giggled.

Aaliyah was so over it and nearly choked with disgust at their back forth fake genuine compliments or as she thought. Simon even went a step further to hold Kuni’s hand as he drove, this just made Aaliyah even more furious. Although she regretted jump on the date, she was relieved that at least she had little control over what was happening between the two. Knowing Simon, sleeping with a lady on a second date would not at all be strange.

Finally the gates to the mighty Hazemba residents were open, this place brought back so many memories, Aaliyah had been here a couple of times but only entered the gate once, also, that once was a sneaky arrangement just to use the bathroom. Aaliyah was offered the guest bathroom downstairs after she rejected the idea of going to the guards’ bathroom. That night, Aaliyah still had to go to a lodge with Simon and they had an intimate night which Simon probably could not remember. However, as they drove in, Aaliyah remembered every bit of that night, every detail pertaining to that fateful night when she tried to trap him to make her pregnant but despite drunk, he insisted on using protection. Aaliyah hoped Simon could at least remember how they kissed in the guest bathroom and he begged her for a quickie right there but she was not about having it. She insisted he needed to at least respect her enough to get them a room in the house. Simon drove to Ciela resort and booked the best room for them. This still did not take away from the fact thatAaliyah felt trashed, she was not even good enough to stay over at his house. 

Aaliyah cleared her throat as the car came to a stop;Simon unlocked the doors as Kuni processed everything she was looking at. The house was exceptionally beautiful and massive with beautiful landscaping and well paved pathways, the only other time she saw a house so big was on television. This house looked just like the Presidents private house although she had never physical been there except seen it on Television. Aaliyah was equally overwhelmed with the stunning house all over again, it looked even better during the day. 

“Welcome to my parents’ home, I am just a care taker here” Simon said mockingly

“Well it is massive and beautiful...” Kuni said. 

“Oh thank you... I will definitely tell owners” 

Simon quickly went over to Kuni’s door and opened it as Aaliyah gave him evil stares.

“Come on my lady... come through” he said extending his hand to her. 

Aaliyah opened her own door and stepped out the car with even more rage. 

Behind the couple, Aaliyah slowly walked irritated at the fact that for some unknown reason Kuni walked so slowly while Simon held her hand. She completely acted like she was stepping on glass or water. Aaliyahwas so over it and would have bypassed them at thatpoint but it was not her house. Respectfully, Aaliyah walked behind pressing her phone. Kuni had seen Amanda from a distance many times but they had never actually met, from observation she was a clear tomboy however, it was surprising to see her open the door in a completely different look. Amanda was clad in a figure hugging bandage dress. The dress was pink in colour and had falling sleeves which hugged her shoulders. Her Brazilian wig stretched up to her waist and she wore very light make up which accentuated her cute baby face. The girl had curves making Aaliyah wonder why she was always in buggy clothes.

“You must be Kuni... welcome...” Amanda said stretching her arms to hug Kuni.

“Oh yes... this is her” Simon said with a smile and completely relieved that his sister remembered her name and also put herself together and wore the dress he got her earlier that day.

Amanda wore house sleepers at the bottom because she obviously was not going to wear heels even though Simon got her a pair. Simon was just glad she made so much effort and it seemed the lunch would proceed on very well. 

“Nice to meet you” Amanda added

“Nice to meet you too” Kuni replied.

“Oh and this is my cousin” Kuni said introducing Aaliyah.
