After school, I and Billy walked home together. We always walk home together during school period because she does not leave far from my house. When she moved into the neighborhood my dad and I were the first to welcome their family and from then we became friends.
"Who was the guy you were walking with today. Where is he from. I could get a little accent" she said
"He is a new transfer student from Scotland and his accent is not little, it is a big Scottish accent" I said
"Can you help me to talk to him. He's kind of cute, please don't say that in front of him" Billy asked. I gave her a side eye.
"I cannot help you if you want to talk to him you can do it by yourself and also focus on your studies and stop thinking about man" I said with a somewhat perfect Nigerian accent.
I grew up mostly in Nigeria despite being born in the UK. It was after I was born my Dad decided to move back to Nigeria because of the visa problems and my mom followed him too.
"You and your African parent tone again" She said and I laughed and then she laughed.
When we got home, I was about to wave at Billy but she said
"Can you help me with the chemistry assignment, I don't understand it"
"Okay but I have to observe my siesta for 1 hour before I can help you" I said
"That's okay there is no problem I'll just stay in the living room waiting for you"
We entered my living room when we saw our dad on the couch working on his laptop
"Good Afternoon Dad" I greeted
"Good Afternoon Mr Davis" Billy greeted
"Good Afternoon my dear. How was school I hope there was no problem"
"Yes Dad, I will go upstairs now and observe my siesta while Billy stays here with you. I promise she won't disturb I'll be back in an hour I went upstairs to observe my siesta which was mostly sleeping and browsing through internet.
"Sorry to disturb you Mr Davis but how is the wedding plan going" Billy asked it's going well, thank you for asking my dear can you help me make some coffee. I would have asked Kira but she does not like disturbance during a siesta.
Billy stood up and went to the kitchen and after 5 minutes she made some hot coffee for my dad Billy served my dad some hot coffee on a saucer.My dad sipped a little coffee and his eyes opened wide
"This is the best coffee I've had since my wife died. it is even better than Kira's coffee. Thank you Billy"
"Yes sir have you notice something off about Kira" Billy asked
"Yes I thought it was only me but thank god someone is seeing it to. I've noticed since that time we started planning the wedding me too. I'll get to the bottom of it" My Dad said.
"Okay sir. Enjoy your coffee it's my special".
After 1 hour, I came downstairs and saw my dad and Billy having a conversation then I called Billy
"You can come now let me help with your homework." Billy stood up and followed me to my room with her bag.
''You guys should study well and bring some snacks for you later"my dad said .
"Okay Dad" I replied then I entered my room.
