##Carla##

If he wasn't going to break up with me his definitely going to now. Why would I slap him.? he doesn't like violence. Am an idiot!

"Knock, knock"

Am in my room afraid to open the door

Carla: Come in?

Cleon: Did you slap me?

Erp... That's his go-to question?

Carla: Am sooooo sorry, I freaked out, I am always getting comprised in front of Bob

Cleon: Are you referring to me?

"Carla shut up..." I shout in my mind

Carla: No, Babe it's just whenever I got caught doing something wrong is by him

Cleon: Am wrong?

Ohhh words are getting in the way.

Carla: No, It's.

Cleon: Am not Johny, am not going to get compromised with you and not take part of the blame. Relax

Carla: So... What did you tell him?

She said eyes low

Cleon: Were a thing. I won't lie about my feelings for you, Carla.

She blushed at my words.

Cleon: Come let's go back downstairs. I can't stand being this close and not being inside of you. Let's get rid of our guests first.

Her heart raced at my comment. I walked out with her. Leading her back downstairs. Everyone was smiling guess Bob told them Haha she looks so shy.

Blue: My good sir? Mom, you said good sir?

She started laughing so hard

Carla: Haha stop it Blue, I freaked out. It's always Bob Bruh I swear

Bruh? Oh yes, I forgot back on earth she was such a tomboy Haha

Carla: Mom?

Was she asking her mother's permission to date me? Carla, we are grown Haha but alright

Louise: Cleon and I talked already

Gregory: Don't, when you get a boyfriend, you make food? and sing?

Cleon: Wait, you sing?

Carla: No, no that never happened... It never happened, dad...

Gregory: Oh yeah, I remember now

🎶 I have a boyfriend, look at me I have a boyfriend 🎶

Babes help me.

He shouted to his wife eating food

Louise: Let me see if I remember...

Carla: You guys are so embarrassing

She said elbow on the table, hands covering her face...

Louise: Haha she'd say "Bird is chirping about me having a boyfriend. Thee boyfriend... Ahhh life is beautiful"

Cleon: Thee boyfriend huh...

Haha, I watch her sink into her seat from embarrassment

Cleon: Awe man I gotta get a song now.

Carla: Why are you guys doing this to me.

Haha she was so red! Haha

Frank: You sang the whole day?

Carla: Not the whole day, sheesh

Gregory: From morning to nighttime

Everyone laughed she even giggled.

Cleon: Who was your first boyfriend?

Carla: It's so long ago... Who even remembers?

Haha such a bad Lier

Gregory: Johny!

He screamed from the table laughing

Cleon: Your first kiss?

Carla: Babe I'm thousands of years old...

Louise: Johny

Carla: Mom! Seriously

Cleon: Shoot, first date?

Bob: Haha Johny!

She completely deflated in her seat. It makes sense now, she tried to hold onto him for so long because He's all she knows. That's definitely going to change. He might have been her first, but I'll be her last.

Cleon: It's okay babe I'll be the one that sticks. You'll never forget me.

Everyone smiled at that comment she blushed even harder than before

Bob: I'm off

Gregory: Where?

Bob: Am going to mine Gold

Gregory: I'll come along. I have babe power, I Wana try em out

Frank: Why, don't you come along little guy, let's see what you can do.

Grand: Alright, Can I mom?

Carla: Sure

Cheryl: Mom I want to rule Brown kingdom

She spoke surprising everyone.

Carla: Oh?

All the goofiness instantly fades away. Everyone sat back down to hear Cheryl's reasoning. Come to think of it, she hasn't smiled once when we were joking around, she had this lingering in her mind.

Carla: Are You Ready?

Cheryl: Am asking you to step down from ruling Brown kingdom. My last name is Royal but

Carla: If we're talking about the last name, it should be Grand, he got Brown. Itybity?

Itybity: Yes mother

Carla: You are ready to rule. It would be unfair to pass you after Blue. You have the right training. You've been Blue trusted advisor for years. I trust your ruling

Cheryl: Wow, but not me?

Carla: No, you not ready

Cheryl: YOU NEVER LIKED ME, we're sitting here pretending to be okay with you dating uncle, like come on. You're the reason dad left, you don't date the brother, it's a common rule. Dad is right to leave you. We're sitting here calling this child cute, ya'll don't remember how his dad beat, cut, almost killed mom?

Louise: That's enough!

Grand: Wait, daddy beat mommy?

The whole room got dark, like someone shut off the lights.

Carla: I am over 30 thousand years old; I spend thousands of years convincing this man that am worth loving. And maybe you're right, Maybe Johny will never come back to me, it's fine if you blame me if there is someone you want to blame, cause we both know you won't blame your father. But I never once betray your father or our vows. I watch him, fall for another, tried to conceive with another, He constantly belittled me telling me am not who he wanted. The only time we weren't fighting was when we were conceiving children. The other time I spent, Judging myself. When your father constantly picks everyone else to be his match but me, I started to look at myself in the mirror Asking "Maybe if my stomach was flatter or if my butt was smaller, like those he picked he would see me as his equal"

Blue: Mom Cheryl was just being stupid you don't have to answer...

Carla: I remember we had a huge fight like always but this time it was concerning my kids. I won't stand by and let anyone bully my kids. He turns his anger on me and beat me like I was some random woman he found in the street, I never meant anything to him. His heart never belonged to me. We weren't anything but a title. It was in front of all the citizens that looked at me as their Queen. He called me so many things the most hurtful one was him telling me "The value I have is the one gives me, Am just a tool for battle"

Anyone can see she still gets hunted from her past.

Carla: Now if you are mad at the one you love, can you fix your lips and say those words?

The light in the room came back. Her tears started to drench her beautiful expensive clothing. Cheryl instantly regrets saying those words to her mother.

Carla: I ask you a question?

She was behind Cheryl in an instant. She wouldn't kill her own children, would she?

Cheryl: No, I wouldn't tell the one I love she's no more than a battle strategy.

Carla: You might not like this, but he did try to come back, Several times in fact. But knowing Johny, he has no intentions of leaving Gaby

Bob: So, you're saying if he leaves Gaby then you would go back to him?

Carla: Cheryl?

She said calming down. Completely ignoring the old man

Carla: Am too old to be chasing after boys. I need peace. If that peace comes with Cleon so be it.

She walked back to her seat politely while calming her anger

Carla: You not fully 17 yet, don't you ever talk to me like that. You live with your dad for a while, right?

Cheryl: Yes mam.

She said frighten by the mom's tone of voice.

Carla: When you see him show affection to Gaby do you ever talk to him like this?

Cheryl: No

Carla: Gaining a kingdom isn't going to make your father notice you.

Cheryl: But mom... His... (Sobbing) He doesn't love me anymore. He only cares for Alia... It's like... (Crying) He hates me. He always has better things to do than hang out with me.

Sounds like Johny is taking his dissatisfaction out on Cheryl. "Classic f*ck up him," I said while shaking my head.

Carla: That's why you wanted to rule?

Cheryl: I want to make him proud of me.

Carla: Am proud of you

Louise: Am proud of you too Kido

Gregory: Am proud of you

Bob: You know I'll always see your efforts baby girl.

Cleon: Uncle got you

Everyone laughed like am making a joke.

Cheryl: Am sorry about what I said earlier, I know you'll do right by my mom it's just... It doesn't matter I Am sorry. And itybity I would be honored to be your advisor.

Itybity: Oh um

Cleon: Hail the new Queen of the brown kingdom!

I made a toast with my bowl of cereal. Haha everyone followed saying "Hail!"

Carla: I know you never ask but something told me it's something you wanted for a while now. The kingdom is yours. Please do right by your people

Itybity: Mom why don't you have any staff. All you have is dolls to help around the castle. You have no army or Committee why?

Carla: I hated those meetings and people have bad intentions.

Itybity: Is it advisable for me to rely on the ballerinas and butlers?

Carla: Oh, my Queen I was going to get them back

Everyone laughed.

Itybity: I'll give you some but not them all

Carla: Am kidding... The maid and guards are an essential part of the kingdom Haha. But I do have to go over to allow them to follow your rule. As long as you don't ask them to go against their nature

Cheryl: Against their nature?

Carla: They have no hormones, they are mutual, so only let them do certain jobs. Such as complaints, I have to connect them to your life force so they would do what you would do in a situation

Itybity: Understood.

Carla: I'll swing by over there tomorrow. We will have a 3-day party presenting you as their new queen

Cheryl: And I'll invite Daddy

She said sounding hopeful.

Grand: So, my dad is a bad guy?

Everyone forgot about the little boy who was terrified by his older sister's words

Cheryl: I Am sorry little brother; I spoke out of term. No, your dad is a good man.

Grand: So, he a superhero?

Louise: No hero, more like a good civilian

Grand: Oh, but not bad right?

Carla: Right

She smiled at the small child trying to keep him innocent. She's such a good mom. I wonder what our kid would come out like.

no doubt she'd be an amazing mother to him or her. I wonder would it be 3 months or 9?

Carla: Babe?

I was in my mind I didn't realize everyone left but Carla

Carla: Cats out of the bag how do you feel?

She stood there almost embarrassed to ask.

Cleon: Same way I felt yesterday. Hey, so am going to be scouting places I might not be there in the beginning, but I'll try to swing by at the party.

Carla: I understand, Handle your business.

She's so understanding. How can he break her heart?

Carla: Am on my way to the Brown kingdom now. There is much preparation that needs to be done.

Cleon: I understand see you then?

Carla: Alright

She made a portal and went through it. Alright, let me take care of things here. I decided to fly south side of the kingdom, that's where most entertainment is. Sure, the places I scout were cheap, but none were really nice. They had so much damage to repair. I decided to fly to the west side of the kingdom. Beings seem to be living better and larger there. I found a couple of potentials. Now I got to get some Gold. She said anyone can mine, right? I don't want anything from her, am her man am supposed to offer not take. I flew to the mountains of Gold. 20 citizens were working on one mountain. They finally put a dent in it. I pick one all by myself. Even after you break a mountain, Withing 2 days it regrows. I've never seen powers like Carla's before. I took off my shirt ready to get started. Some citizens called over to me stating "Budy, we need to do this together, this is a lot of work. You might think your macho but trust me your better off with us" I ignored them this mountain needs my undivided attention. I have 2 days. I circled the mountain, to see if there is any weak part of the mountain that was easier to break? The others kept hollering for me to come over messing up my concentration. I can't concentrate. I flew to a further away mountain. Like I said I don't have a lot of time to get this done.
