Chapter 1

Christy sat on the bed facing the
window, wondering what today
will be like, I know, I know, it
would be like every other
Christmas, no parents, no
relatives, no friends, no body
to share my charismas with",
she turn her gaze from the widow
back to her reading table, she
got up from the bed and walk to
the books at the table, and she pick
up the bible.
"Yes, yes, they said if I wise for
anything, it will come to
pass right?
No, thristy they didn't say you
should wish, but ask anything
and it will be giving to you."
"Ok", she held the bible and raise
it up, no, that is not how they
do it, open it and kneel down,
ok, she brought down her hands
and kneel before her bed, open
the bible and start to pray.
dear lord, please I don't want
to be lonely this charismas
ever again, please help me lord,
send someone who will be a
friend, male or female I don't
care, that will smile with me
and take away this loneliness
amen.
She keeps looking at the
ceiling to hear a voice but
nothing came.
Ohh.. I guess he heard me.
Christy said and walk out the
door to start her normal house
chores. To her it doesn't make
any difference if is Christmas
or not, because her stepmom
will not allow her out of the
house except for throwing
out the thrash and cleaning up
the house. She has never had a
Christmas present since her
parents both pass away.
It is unlikely for Paul to been seen outside on a charismas
morning driving around going
nowhere until he felt like
something hit his car, or No, ...
his car hit something.
"Do you want to spoil my car?"
Paul ask thristy when he got
out of the car to see what was
it that hit his car
"Are you blind? Can't you see
you are the one who hit me?
And beside how can a human
being hit a car?.
"Is possible seeing that you
didn't even look like a human
being'. Paul jokily said but Christy
did not take it lightly with him,
she drag him to their house
reporting the case to her stepmom.
And Paul obediently follow her
since he has nowhere to go today,
he just want to fool around with a
random girl.
"Who is this?" Christy's stepmom
shouted at her "I was going to throw out the
trash you sent me when he hit
me with his car
Christy's stepmom looked at
Paul up and down, 'he looks like
royalty' she murmured.
"Let go of his shirt, do you want
to stain him with your dirty
hands? She shouted at Christy
and then turn to Paul, 'lome in
my dear", she took Paul inside
the house.
"And you, have you throw away
the trash?"
"No ma', thristy said howing
her kneely a little, while Paul
look on
"Then what are you waiting for?,
go, you dirty girl.'
Christy walk away regretting
why she has to drag Paul to
the house.
"What a wonderful day for you
to have come in our house", she
said to Paul "Yea', Paul answered shaking
his head, and wondering what
might have happen to his car
by now and how this is not going
the way he think.
'Let me get you something
to eat.
"Ohh. No..no..no.. am fine, 1
don't want to eat is too early". He
wanted to get up to go, but she
push him down.
"No.. no.. sit, let me get you
tea, is charismas, and you can't
just come to my house and leave
just like that.
"Ok", Paul sat down again but
he was not feeling comfortable
with people he knows nothing
about
Just then a tall beautiful
girl walk in
"Heyy... Bridget look who we
got here', her mother said.
"Who is he'?
"What is your name my dear" ?
The mother ask for the first time.
My name is Paul" he said still
looking at Bridget.
"Hey.. Paul she gave him her
hand.
"Hey.. Bridget Paul shake her
but keep gazing at her face like
he has see an angel.
So what are you doing in
our house"? Bridget ask.
"Ohh.. oh...
"He is just passing and then
he decide to stop by', her mother
said helping Paul out.
"Oh.. yes, yes.. that is it, just
passing by.
"Ok, you are welcome to
our house."
"Thank you so much, I will take
my leave now".
"Ok, see you some other time
Bridget said
"Ok, bye." Paul said and hurriedly
left the house, rushing down to
where his car was parked.
"Ohh.. thank goodness my
car is still here', turning round he
saw Christy sitting by the corner
crying.
"What are you doing here crying?
Yur mother is waiting for you'.
Christy got up and wipe her
tears with her cloth.
"And what are you doing here?
She ask back.
"Well am going home, you too
should go home."
"And what if I don't what to
go home."
"Well, your mother will have
your head in a platter, because
the woman I saw back there is
not someone you want to mess
with." Paul said without knowing
anything about the woman.
Just leave me alone she
said and walk away.
"Is she walking away from me?'
Paul ask himself. "Yes, she is
actually walking away from me.
Heyy wait a minute he calf", but
Christy start walking very fast
to get away from Paul.
Paul got home and took a
shower, "Wowww...., what an
interesting morning ? he keep
smiling to himself
'The first girl is interesting, but
the second one is beautiful,
and their mother, it seem she
likes the second one more than
the first one, hmmm, I like to go
back there, but who will I say I
came there to see? Hmmm.
he just keep smiling to himself.
"What is wrong with your son ?"
ming. Elaina ask her husband.
"What do you think?" He reply.
"Only a man who is in love
will be smiling all to himself"
"How did you know?"
"I know because am his mother"
"Well then let him be, is a good
thing that we will have to see
our daughter in-law soon enough".
"Hmm, don't be in such a hurry
Mr. Brown'. She said.
Christy open the door to go inside
but her stepmom, was already standing there waiting for her.
'Come here you little prostitute,
where did you bring that
boy from"?
"I told you already, he hit me
with his car and I brought him
here to report to you, but am
sorry for bringing him here
am truly sorry".
"If not that this house is your
father's house, I would have
thrown you out of here you
idiotic girl.
Now, I don't want to see you
with that boy, you hear me?
"Yes, ma' she bow.
"Get out of my face, Bridget
said, 'that is all you know how
to do, bringing in men into this
house, letter they will say is enough".
"Hmm, don't be in such a hurry
Mr. Brown'. She said.
Christy open the door to go inside
but her stepmom, was already standing there waiting for her.
'Come here you little prostitute,
where did you bring that
boy from"?
"I told you already, he hit me
with his car and I brought him
here to report to you, but am
sorry for bringing him here
am truly sorry".
"If not that this house is your
father's house, I would have
thrown you out of here you
idiotic girl.
Now, I don't want to see you

"Yes, ma' she bow.
"Get out of my face, Bridget
said, 'that is all you know how

house, letter they will say is Bridget that is a prostitute."
Is pass twelve on charismas
eve and Paul was still thinking
what excuses to give for been in
Christy's house and who exactly
is he going there to see? He needs
to take someone out, his guys
are all going to be at the party
and up till now he didn't have a
girl to present to them, he needs
to go with someone.
Bridget heard a knock on the
door, and she called thristy to
come and open the door, even
though she was sitting close
to the door
"Christy... someone is at the
door"
"Ok, am coming', she rush to
open the door, is Paul again,
she quickly close the door.
"Who is that?' Bridget ask.
"No one, is Jehovah's Witness
Christy lied.
"Really, on thristmas day?
Bridget ask, please close the
door."
Yes Bridget Christy said. And
open the door again.
"What are you doing here?"
She whispers, go away, my mother
and Bridget will kill me if they find
out you are here again".
"But. She close the door
again before Paul could say
anything.
'Who is at the door"? Her step
mother's voice was heard.
"Is Jehonh witness'
Bridget said.
"And what is thristy doing
there with them? Close my door
and come here', she said walking
to the door
"Please go, my mother is coming,
Paul turn to leave but the mother
open the door
"Who are you?
Paul turn again to look at her.
"Heyy.. if you again"?
"Yes, ma'.
"Come in, she invited him in."
Paul hurriedly walk inside.
"You look more handsome than
before the mother said.
"Hahaha Paul laugh 'maybe
because I ate at home before
coming out".
"Really, that means you get
more handsome with food, hahaha
they both laugh except Bridget
and thristy.
"What is he doing here"? Bridget
ask with a straight face.
"Hey.., is that how to treat a
handsome visitor?' her mother
said bringing Bridget to sit close
to Paul.
Christy was just looking at them
without saying anything, and Paul
could not take his eyes off thristy
because it seem to him that
Christy is now more prettier that
Bridget. But he could not say
anything to her because it seem Christy has no voice in this house,
and if he will be allow to stay here
for more minute then he better
not talk to thristy, so he turn his
gaze back to Bridget.
"Don't you like to see me in
your house"?
"That is not what am saying, I
am only asking why you keep
coming to our house."
'Stop asking such questions,
her mother said trying to cut
Bridget off.
