Chapter 35
“It’s all your fault.” Korina growled at Daniella.
The police officer laughed as he closed the cell.
“Enjoy your stay ladies.” He locked it and pocketed the key, whistling as he strolled off.
“What?!” Daniella scowled at Korina who stared daggers at her, “What did I do wrong?”
“What did you do wrong?” She asked staring at her wide eyes, “You assaulted him now we are in jail.”
“Hey.” Daniella pointed a finger at her cousin, “I was only trying to defend your ass, he insulted you for pete’s sake.”
“And I told you to let it go.” Korina groaned in frustration, “Now look where it landed us.”
She walked over to the empty bench in the cell and sat on it.
“He deserved it.” Daniella said, she went over to join her cousin.
“And even more.” Korina agreed, “But now we are in jail and he is walking free.”
“I hope the spot when I yanked his hair off never grows back.” Daniella growled.
Korina stared at her cousin finding her unbelievable, “Are you even listening to me?” She screamed.
“Hey.” A police officer called out to them hitting his baton on a table, “Keep it down, will you?”
The two girls were still sat on the bench in the cell, not a word said to each other, Korina’s mind was filled on how she would pee and Daniella kept wishing she had just broken Brian’s teeth.
Korina was secretly happy that Daniella had done what she did, serves him right, She grinned internally.
He deserved even worse, but she didn’t like the fact that it had landed them him prison when technically they weren’t the first offenders.
She kept thinking of what would happen if he decided to press charges.
Would we end up in jail? Her heart skipped a beat at the thought, would our lives ever be normal?
She turned to peek and Daniella and maybe ask her what would happen if he pressed charges, if they ended up in jail. But Daniella was already dozing off, her body leaning on the wall.
The fuck? Korina shook her head, who the hell sleeps off when in prison?
Daniella of course, She scoffed.
It wasn’t long before she also joined her cousin having no choice but to do that.
“Not a word till we get home!” Aunt Dido glared at the girls as they were brought out of their cells, she shook her head pitifully at them as their handcuffs were being taken off, they are so gonna get it from me, She was angry.
She yanked them both by their ears and dragged them out of the building, down the stairs of the New York state police department building and straight to her car.
“Get in both of you.” Korina and Daniella scrambled into the car and she slammed the door shut. She muttered angry words as she walked over to the drivers side of the car, got in and started the car angrily.
“What were you thinking?” Aunt Dido asked angrily breaking the tense silence. They were on their way to her home now and she couldn’t wait to get home soon so she could give them an earfull.
“I… erm… you see mum… ac…” Daniella couldn’t finish her nonsense stuttering as she was cut off by her mother.
“Young lady, is this how I trained you?” Aunt Dido asked turning back to glare at her daughter before fixating her eyes back on the road,”When ever I talk to you or scold you, you are to keep your mouth shut, stop being disrespectful.” Her hands tightened on the steering wheel as she took a turn.
Korina faced Daniella and stuck out her tongue to her, she was glad that Daniella got scolded.
“How the hell did you manage to land yourself in jail?” Aunt Dido asked, “Why do you chose to embarrass yourselves?”
None of the girls talked remembering her rule of not talking back to elders.
The car tires screeched making ear irritating noises as Aunt Dido brought the car to a forced halt.
She turned back to look at them looking really furious, the girls looked at her, they were really confused now.
“It has come to this uhn?” She gritted her teeth not reducing her glare at them, “Now I talk to you, you don’t respond, now you being disrespectful and stubborn, you wanna act like those spoilt kids uhn? The hell your manners at?”
“Bu… but… you said.”
“Shut the hell up Korina.” She yelled at her niece.
It was Daniella’s turn to stick her tongue at Korina now.
“And would you stop being childish Daniella?” Aunt Dido scolded her, “You both are beginning to piss me off, amma drag your asses out of this car now and give you some black mama whopping.” She warned and both girls relaxed back on the seats.
“Not a word till we get home.” She turned and started the car again.
“But you have been the one doing the talking.” Daniella muttered.
“What did you just say?”
“Nothing mum.” She lied, “Nothing.”
Korina rolled her eyes and stared out the window watching the scenery as they rode on, no one said a word as the ride continued.
They had been sitting on the sofa in the cream colored sitting room for quite a long time and it felt like forever.
Aunt Dido was at it again with her lectures anytime they did something wrong.
This time it was worse, they had been there for about two hours with her while she did the talking pacing around thing, it was her specialty.
Korina really needed to pee and Daniella well, she just wanted to get up.
“And that is why you shouldn’t go about crashing meetings, jumping on people and pulling out their hair cause they might actually be willing to throw you behind bars.” Aunt Dido said finalizing her lecture.
Phew, Korina let out a sigh, “Aunt.” She raised her hand as if in a classroom.
“What now Korina?” The woman asked.
“I really need to pee.”
“Okay, fine.” She replied and Korina rushed out of the room to find the nearest bathroom.
“And you?” Aunt Dido faced Daniella, her full attention on her.
“Oh come on mum.”
“I didn’t raise you to be like this, Daniella.” She said.
“Mum I was trying to defend Korina.” Daniella explained, “That son of a bitch really did her dirty.”
“Mind your language young woman.” Aunt Dido said sternly.
“Sorry mum.” She giggled, “That son of a woman really did her dirty.”
She stood up and walked to her mother wrapping her hands around her, she gave her a peck on the cheek.
“Please forgive me.” Daniella pleaded.
“It’s okay baby.” The woman said, “Just promise me that this is the last time something of this nature would ever occur.”
“I promise mum.” Daniella said half heartedly, she had a hunch that this wouldn’t be the last time, definitely not the last time.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
