Camilla's POV
Hmmm! the smell of rain, what a wonderful scent this is. A pretty clouded sky so black it makes me wonder if the blue sky does even exist, the quiet pouring showers so mesmerizing to watch when it fall from the sky, hits the tall buildings, and then descents to the lower ones until it hits the ground. And just like that my beautiful reverie was interrupted. Wait a minute, what’s that beeping sound I just heard? Oh, Holy Mary, that’s the stove. I am so dead if my aunt Simple’s cake is ruined, she will probably hire some men to bury me alive.
So, my name is Camilla and most of my relatives and people who are pretty close to me call me “cami”. I am not really a fan of it but you know whatever my loved ones like I don’t really mind. I moved to Windhoek when I completed high school last year in November. I live with my uncle Fillemon, his wife aunt Simple, and my two cousins Derek and Kurter. Derek is more like a big brother to me than a cousin because we are really close than I am to Kurter though we are pretty much the same age as she is only 21 and I am 19. Derek always teases us for being so different from each other, but hey, he kinda has the right to because we really are different. Kurter is out-going a true definition of Party girl, while I haven’t even seen a club in my life but nonetheless, we love each other in our own ways even though we don’t really display it.
“Camilla Lea Udinov that better not be my cake burning while you are just mopping around doing absolutely nothing.”Aaaah, I hate it when aunt Simple shouts at me like that, it always means that I am in some kind of trouble. I thought she was going to be out with her friends until late, how did she get here so early today? Seems like today is not my lucky day!
When she gets in the kitchen, she immediately threw her purse on the counter and run to check out her cake. I swear that woman treasures a chocolate cake like people do diamonds.
“Aunt the cake isn’t burned, relax I got it.”
“It almost got burned and you are telling me to relax? Camilla, I don’t get how you cannot even do one thing right. You …”
“Mom relax, can you just for once not shout at my little cousin like that?” We turned to look at my charming cousin Derek who always manage to save me at the right time.
“Derek, seriously I don’t get how you always choose me over her every time” Aunt Simple answered while throwing both her hands up, and Ooops, ladies and gentlemen, our drama queen is on the move.
“Mom, please not now, I had a crazy day at the office today and the last thing that I want now is your lectures about who loves who. I mean come on, you are my lovely mother aren’t you? you know that I will always love you.” Derek speaking while kissing his mother on her left cheek.
“ Okay, okay! Now go freshen up and take a quick nap before your father and your sister gets home for dinner” aunt Simple said while giving all her attention to her lovely cake.
Before Derek went to his room he passed by me to give me my everyday treat, if you are wondering what, it is my kit-kat candy. I will not trade that for anything.
