Chapter 8
He would probably have sent her home with some nice words...maybe money. She covered her face with her arms as she groaned inwardly. Yes, she was right to have run away.
Anyway she had tried going back there a few months after. He had not been there. He had travelled to Dubai? Singapore? She could not remember, but he had not been there.
By the time she had gone there three times, she had been informed politely but firmly that he was not coming back anytime soon and that she should stop coming there.
And she had stopped of course. Rightly so, too.
'Ada!'
'I'm coming!' Ada replied with a scowl.
Why on earth had she agreed to go out with Jemima tonight? Okay fine, more like been coerced into it, but she could always have fobbed her off as she usually did. Fine, she could not have but still! Instead of slowly easing her back into social Uthopia like the pub down the road or something, Jemima was dragging her to some fancy do where one had to dress up properly!
It was true that she had become a little grandmother, always puttering about in her new cosy two bedroom flat...more like one bedroom, one closet but she absolutely adored it. And she had put in more hours than before into work...and had gotten a lovely promotion and increase in her salary which was definitely needed. Especially now that she was more or less estranged from her family. Her eyes watered a bit as she recalled the outrage that she had received because of her break-up with Olisa. She quickly pushed that thought out of her head.
She was a new girl. Well not as new as she had intended three years ago, but more mature. Her hair was back to black that was for sure, she thought wryly as she surveyed herself in the mirror. She was slightly thinner than before. Not that she had consciously decided to lose weight but it had just dropped off as she forgot to eat whilst at work and was too tired to do so upon arrival. With her newly fixed Brazilian weave, with a thick fringe that more or less blocked her face and drew attention solely to her big brown eyes, incredible cheekbones and full red lips, her face looked exquisite, although she thought otherwise. Which was a good thing as she had not dressed up as much as Jemima did. She simply wore a long Grecian styled ivory dress and flat thong sandals. No jewellery was added. She glanced at herself once more. Well, she was ready or as ready as she could ever be and if Jemima, who was clad in a gorgeous LBD with stunning Swarovski crystal earrings, did not like it then...she was changing back into her comfy pjs and diving back into bed!
She shut the door to her room softly and quietly padded into the next room to make sure all was well. Satisfied with her perusal, she went to the living room and stared at Jemima somewhat defiantly.
'Well?' She demanded.
Jemima stared at her speechless for a second then broke into a broad grin that threatened to crack her face in half.
'Ada...you are definitely back!'
Ada looked at her sceptically, 'You've already got me going with you, Jem. You don't have to lie to me too.'
Jemima rushed to her and cupped her face gently so as not to smudge her smooth face, 'I swear to you Ada Mordi, on my grandma's life...okay fine we both know I want her dead like yesterday but...you look absolutely stunning. And if you don't get a guy tonight slavering after you like some love-sick orang-utan, I will give you my new Louboutins.'
Ada's face brightened at that, 'Promise?'
Jemima nodded solemnly, 'Grandma Patti's life.'
Ada rolled her eyes as she linked arms with Jemima, 'Yeah, like that counts for shi...sugar.'
Jemima giggled and waved to her cousin who was staying over at Ada's for the night.
'Bye, Holly.'
Ada waved as well, 'Bye Holly and thanks again for staying over tonight. You don't know how much it means to me.'
Holly shrugged with a little blush. She was slightly in awe of Ada who she thought was the quintessential lady and who she aspired to be once she was older...well older than her sixteen year old self.
'It's cool, Ada. Have fun and shall ring if anything happens.'
Ada nodded with a grateful smile then walked out of her flat arm in arm with Jemima. The night had better be worth her time!
***
Okay. Right. She could do this.
Ada took in deep, gulping breaths as her heart thudded rapidly in her chest. She had not seen so many people and so much...wealth all crammed up in one room at a go. Well, except on the telly!
