Life in Forget me Not Valley 2
Chapter 7: That's just life
Jill's POV
"Kai, Aalisa is nearly 3 now so I reckon she should be starting at school. What do you think?"
"Yeah, I think your right Jill. But where should she go?" Kai replied.
"No offence but I don't want her going to Mineral Town Primary. They beat kids up there; at least that is what I hear. You may think this is outrageous but I want her to have home tutoring..."
"Home tutoring? That is going to bloody cost thousands! Are you flipping mad! We are saving; you agreed we had to save!" Kai yelled.
"Listen babes, I know someone. His name is Ivan, he lives in Zephyr Town. And he is a great friend, I met him and he will definitely give me a good discount because I am a friend."
"Ok, phone him up and we will organise it."
"Thanks Kai, I know Aalisa will love school because of it!"
I walked off to find Aalisa; she had gone to play with Sam and Kenny- Nami and Gustafa's child- she was over by the circus in the spring. She did have her bathing suit on- luckily. Her father would kill her if she was wearing nothing; I don't think he would want her in here anyway with just one boy, I mean she was only young but still that was what he thought. Anyway he loved her to death so he was very protective of her.
"Hey boys, how are you?" I asked.
"Boys! Hehe! I'm not a boy, we are having fun." Aalisa giggled.
"I-I'm good." Sam stuttered.
"I'm great!" Kenny followed after Sam.
"Aalisa it is time to come home. It is already half past 4, sweety."
"Ok, mummy. Can we walk home with Sam and Kenny?"
"Yeah sure, come along."
They walked along, behind me and I noticed when I turned around that Sam and Aalisa were holding hands. I felt like bursting out with laughter but I held it in.
We first dropped off Sam, "Hi Celia, Sam is here we thought we would drop the boys off, didn't we Aalisa?"
"Yep, mummy can I sleep at Sam's house tonight?"
"Oh, that is alright with me, Jill what do you think?" Celia replied.
"It is ok with me but I don't know about Kai. He is very protective." I told Celia.
"K-Kenny is st-stopping isn't he mummy?" Sam said.
"Yes sweety he is."
"I guess Kai will get over it, ok Aalisa. We will go get your things then we can tell daddy then I will drop you and Sam off. Even though it is spring it still is getting dark. Let's go!" I finished.
We walked back home then told Kai, he went ballistic but I still took Aalisa over there. She gave me a kiss on the cheek then ran off into Sam's room to play.
I then walked back home to Kai. "Hey, babes. How are you?"
"Angry, why did you agree before you told me, I mean he is a boy. What are you laughing at?"
"You, you're so cute when you are angry. You know we have got a wedding present that we hardly ever use." I said gently.
"What? What? What is it?" He said laughing as I put my fingers on my lips.
"Not telling." I giggled.
"Well then I will have to... tickle you!"
We started a tickling match; he knew my weak spot so I had no trouble blurting the secret out, "The Island, okay Hibiscus Island."
"Oh yeah, let's go... Sexy" Kai playfully said.
"Oy!" I giggled.
We decided to get changed from our work gear, Kai put on his favourite outfit so that he would look smart then I put on my shortest, tightest skirt and my padded bra with my saffron tank top also my flip flops. I packed a suitcase for us both; I put in my favourite bikini, and Kai's most handsome trunks. I then filled it with two towels, a few scented candles, some hibiscus flowers and a lighter so I can light the candles, our toothbrushes and soap. We then walked over to the log on the beach and stepped in the boat. Kai insisted that I sat down and Kai stood up and rowed like we were in Italy.
When we arrived I got Kai to sit on the swinging chair and then I placed the scented candles all over the outside.
I put some hibiscus flowers in my hair then some in Kai's hair to joke. "Oh, Kai you look lovely like that! Hehe!" We had a great night away from Aalisa she can be a pain sometimes!
Aalisa's POV
"What shall we do? Guys, guys!" I asked them.
"I don't know; just leave me and Sam alone stupid girl!" Kenny told me.
I looked at Sam, his head was lowered. But it seemed like he agreed with Kenny. I crept over and grabbed my bag of things that I hadn't unpacked. If they didn't want me here I would go.
"I will be off now then." I muttered.
They didn't seem to hear me though. I walked slowly down the stairs, towards the door.
"What's up honey?" Celia asked me.
"Th-they are leaving me out." At this point I broke down in tears. "They won't play with me, Kenny told me to leave them alone. But Sam didn't say anything." I said between sobs.
"Oh come here, come give me a hug. Do you want me to drop you off at your aunties? Your mummy and daddy are on their island."
"No, I want to stay with Sam. I want you to drop Kenny off."
"Darling, you know I can't do that."
I ran upstairs to face the boys, Sam looked worried but Kenny looked happy. "Ran off to the circus. Oh Aalisa your there we..." Kenny started.
"I didn't" Sam interrupted.
"Whatever, I thought you had run off to the circus. Because of your precious mummy who is so good at it although she isn't and you will be rubbish too!" Kenny finished.
"ARRGHHH" I screamed, throwing myself at Kenny and kicking him.
He started ragging my hair, "Oohhh that's what girlie girls do! Put away your handbag Kenny!" I jeered.
This just made him angrier. So I wacked him round the face with my bag. "Goodbye and good riddance. I no longer have any friends."
I walked down the stairs and stomped towards the door whilst Sam cried and Kenny laughed.
Celia followed me out and said, "Look let me walk you to your aunties, I will have to take Kenny home as well..."
She walked me over to aunty Vivi and Witchkin's where I told them what had happened and they made me feel much better. "Well that is just life cutie." Aunty Vivi finished.
"Ok, I'm tired now."
"Right you can sleep at the other end of aunty Witchkin's bed, ok?" Vivi said.
I climbed in wearing my frog night gown and settled down to sleep.
