Chapter 2 We bumped into each other

"I can't guess, just tell me." I said.

"Josh." She said.

"Josh? What did he want?" I asked.

"I don't really know.. um.. I gotta go Kyla." She said.

"Oh, ok, bye." I said and hung up.

Josh is actually my ex-boyfriend at the orphanage. He broke up with me like two months ago, saying he didn't want me anymore. I later found out that he was dating Lacey, a girl in my room. I was kinda sad when he broke up with me but I got over him quickly. So why the hell does he want to see me?

"Kyla!" Mrs Francis called and I hurried downstairs. They were at the dining table already. Little sis was sitting next to Mr Francis. She seem to like him a lot.

"Let's eat." She said and I sat beside Mrs Francis. We were served dinner and we started eating. It feels nice eating with the ones you can call family.

"Do you want more?" Mrs Francis asked me.

"No ma'am." I said.

"Mum." Daisy corrected.

"Oh sorry, m..mum." I said.

"It's ok, you'll get used to it." Mrs Francis said and I nodded.

After dinner, we went to our different rooms. I was still fantasizing about the house when the door opened. Daisy ran to me.

"Daisy what is it?"

"I can't sleep." She said.

"Come here." I said and made her sit on my thighs. She placed her head on my chest. "Is this ok?" I asked and she nodded.

"Kyla do you like our new mum and dad?" She asked.

"I guess so." I said.

"Are we gonna live here forever?" She asked.

"Do you want us to live here forever?" I asked her.

"Yes Kyla. I love it here, I don't want to go back to the orphanage." She said and held me tightly. I kissed her head.

"You won't go back." I said.

"Kyla, are they always going to be nice to us?" She asked.

"Yes Daisy." I said.

"Are we going to get admitted into a real school?" She asked and I thought about it shortly.

"I think so Daisy. Enough with the questions, go to sleep." I said and she shut her eyes. She soon fell asleep. I carried her back to her room.

MRS FRANCIS P.O.V

"What do you think about the girls?" My husband asked.

"They are fine. I really like them. Daisy seems to like you a lot." I said and he smiled.

"Yeah, she's a sweetheart. What about Kyla?" He asked.

"I haven't spoken to her that much. She seems to be a little withdrawn." I said.

"She's still trying to get use to everything, give her sometime and she will be open." He said and I sighed.

"I hope so. I can't wait for her to be free with me." I said with a smile, cuddling with him.

"I've made arrangements for their school." He said.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot. They'll be going to school on Monday. I hope it's a luxurious one, I want the absolute best for them." I said.

"Yes honey, they'll love it. Trust me." He said.

"Will you be going with us to the mall?" I asked.

"I don't think so, I've got a meeting to attend." He said. "Will you be fine?" He asked.

"Yeah, sure." I said.

NEXT DAY.

JEREMY'S P.O.V

"Dude hurry up." Mitchell shouted from outside. I hurriedly wore my Sneakers and dashed out. "Why do you have to take so long to get dressed?" He asked.

"I have to look hot and great." I said and he laughed.

"You're so funny." He said and we both got into the car and drove to the mall.

I'm Jeremy Wilbert, the only child of a billionaire couple, Mr and Mrs Wilbert. I'm eighteen years old and so handsome. Yeah, I am. Every girl's dream guy. Everyone thinks I'm a spoilt brat, arrogant and proud. Well they're not wrong in their judgement.

I've got four close friends, Violet, a cute and sassy girl. Mitchell, the carefree lover boy. Brian, the brainiac and Crystal, Mitchell's girlfriend.

We got to the mall and alighted from the car. We walked in.

"Where do we start?" I asked.

"The colognes." Mitchell said. We walked there and started picking out the ones we wanted. After that, we walked to the wristwatch section. A little girl ran pass me, almost falling the wristwatch in my hand.

"Daisy." Someone called and we bumped into each other, making the wristwatch fall.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry." she said and picked it up.

"Are you blind or what?" I asked.

KYLA'S P.O.V

"Are you blind or what?" The guy I bumped into asked angrily.

"Excuse me?" I asked staring at him. How dare he asked such a question?

"I asked a question, are you blind or what?" He repeated. I dropped the wristwatch on the shelf.

"What stupid question is that? Huh? We bumped into each other and you're blaming me?" I asked confidently. He glanced at the guy close to him.

"Are you seriously talking to me that way? Do you know who I am?" He asked, raising his voice.

"And who the hell are you?" Mrs Francis asked as she walked to us. "How dare you raise your voice on my daughter? Do you own this place?" She asked.

"She was at fault here, madam. Tell your daughter to watch where she's going." He said.

"I can see you have no manners at all young man. Listen to this, never you raise your voice at my daughter ever again, she's not your servant, ok?" She scolded and he scoffed and walked away with his friend. "Such an arrogant child." She muttered and turned to me. "Are you ok, dear?" she asked and I embraced her tightly. No one has ever stood up for me as she did. I was always left to face every challenge on my own. "It's ok dear, don't let him get to you." She said and I nodded and refrained from her. Daisy came to us. "Daisy stop running away from us, ok?" She said.

"Sorry mummy." Daisy said. We continued our shopping.

"Let's get you a phone." Mrs Francis said.

"But I already have a phone" I said.

"You need a better one." She said and I didn't protest further. She got me the latest phone.

"Isn't this too expensive?" I asked.

"Not at all Kyla." She said with a smile. We went to the book shelves, there were so many novels. I kept staring at them. "You know, you could take anyone you want, Kyla." She said.

"Really?" I asked excitedly and she nodded. I started taking the ones I found interesting. I really enjoyed reading novels. We bought school bags, obviously we are to start going to school on Monday. Mum said we'll get our books and school uniform from the school. We bought so many clothes, shoes, bags, jewelries and lots more.

After shopping, we went to the park because Daisy wanted to go there. Then we went back to the house.

I quickly freshened up and went downstairs. I perceived something sweet. I traced it to the kitchen. Mum was directing the chefs on what to cook.

"Kyla." She called when she saw me. I walked to her. "You're hungry already?" She asked.

"Not yet." I said even though I was hungry. We walked out of the kitchen. "Thank you for what you did for me at the mall." I said.

"Why are you thanking me? I'm your mum now and I just did what was required of me. There's no need to thank me, ok?" She said and I nodded.

"Dad is back." Daisy yelled from the living room. We both walked to the living room.

"Welcome honey." Mum said and embraced him. He pulled me to an embrace too.

"I've got something for you two." He said to Daisy and I.

"Really? What is it?" Daisy asked. He brought out a pink Apple laptop and gave it to me.

"Oh my God, is this for real?" I asked.

"Yeah it is, I figured out you might need one." He said.

"This is so amazing, thank you so much." I said.

"And have this credit card." He said stretching it to me.

"What the.." I stared at it in awe.

"Take it Kyla." Mum said. I took it and continue staring at it.

"I get to use a credit card?" I asked.

"Of course darling. You might need it, so make sure you take it everywhere you go." Mum said and I embraced the both of them.

"Thank you so much." I said.

"And here's for my little Daisy." Dad said and gave Daisy an iPad.

"Oh my God" She screamed and we chuckled. "Do I really get to keep it?" She asked me and I chuckled.

"Of course Daisy." I said.

"Yippee." She said excitedly. "Thank you so much mum and dad." She said.

"Alright kids let's have dinner." Mum said.
