    Sam’s burial date was settled and finally it was decided that it was going to be in two weeks time

    During this time neighbours,friends and even his colleagues would storm our compound with condolences message and would leave some money that was to be added for the funeral

    That day was finally here.We gathered ourselves with the neighbors, friends and we travelled to the mortuary carry his corpse ready for burial that was scheduled for the next day

    At home everything was ready,a bull had been slaughtered as it is our tradition,tents had been set and chairs had been well arranged

    The all village was in a sombre mood as they had lost one young energetic youth that five years ago they had celebrated his wedding day

    We got to the mortuary after around one hour of driving.Together with his brothers we were welcomed in to confirm if indeed Sam’s body was the one that had been prepared ready for transportation

    I stared at his body before nodding my head to confirm that indeed that was Sam.I wanted to shed tears after seeing him but I controlled myself however painful it was

    The mortuary attendants carried the body into the black hearse after everybody viewed the body and off we left

    We were welcomed at home with cries and screams from the mourners

    The event was done that day and the body carried into the house ready for the funeral that was to be conducted the following day

    That evening many people were in our compound finalizing the preparation before we bade goodbye to Sam,I was in my room alone trying to remember the best memories that we had together,some made me smile alone but the reality that he was gone hit heard and made tears roll down my cheeks

    I was still seated on the bed when suddenly out of the blue Sam appeared,I wanted to scream but he told me not to say anything and moved towards where I was then sat next to me

    I couldn’t believe my eyes at all so I had to rub my eyes to confirm if what I was seeing was a reality and indeed Sam was just next to me,dressed in the hospital clothe he had been wearing before he died.

    “Sam is this really you? I miss you my love why did you leave me alone in this world”

    “Yeah its me and I want you to know that I loved you so much but unfortunately my time here on earth was over”

    “Let me follow you then so that we can spend more time together in the after life”

    “No I want you to watch over Shilla until she grows up,let her have the love of her mother but I will always be with you, please don’t cry because of me” he said then disappeared

    Just then Damian,Sam’s brother stormed into the bedroom

    “Is everything okay Lucy?” He asked

    “Yeah why are you asking?”

    “I thought I heard you talk to yourself so I decided to check up to see if you are okay,If you don’t feel okay please come and spend time with your neighbors outside you will be okay from any bad thoughts” he said and started walking away leaving the door opened and I followed him.

    🧡 SAMANTHA’S POV 🧡

    I walked back into the cafeteria after listening to Tracy’s crap about James being a girl, I mean that is the worst choice of words to say to me if she wants me to break up with James.
    I went back to seat with the others and sat down beside James, they all looked at me as I huffed angrily and push my hair back.
    “is everything okay?” James asked.
    “everything is fine.. Actually it’s not” I said and he arched his brows at me.

    “What’s wrong?” he asked.
    “do you know what Tracey said about you?” I huffed.
    “what?” James asked and stopped chewing his food looking at me strangely his eyes filled with curiousness
    “she said you’re… I paused as Tracey walked to her seat, she glanced at me and then sighed.
    “look Sam, I don’t have any bad intention towards you and what I said is hundred percent true,.. She paused and glanced at James then at me.. “but if you don’t want to believe it it’s fine, I’m a good person and that’s why I told you that. don’t think I have any bad intention towards you and I just didn’t want you to give me the silent treatment cause it seems like you’re going to and that’s why am apologizing.” Tracy continued and I sighed and turned away.

    I wasn’t going to give her the silent treatment or whatsoever I hate that too.
    “what’s going on, what’s she apologizing for, and what were you trying to say before she came” James asked and I turned to him. “never mind it’s nothing”.
    “okay whatever you say” James said and glance at Tracey who was having a low conversation Victoria and Molly.

    Lunch break was over and James and I walked back to class together, his hand wrapped around my shoulder.
    “but can’t you at least tell Me what Tracey was saying about me then.” James asked.
    “I told you it’s nothing just forget about it she’s just jealous about us” I said dryly.
    “but it wouldn’t hurt to know” he said and I huffed. “fine she said you’re a girl” I rushed my words
    “I mean isn’t that the most dumbest thing she could ever say to break us up” I added.

    “Y..yeah..” James said and rubbed his neck uncomfortably.
    “let’s just forget about that Tracy’s cra-cray sometimes” I smiled.
    “look.. Um.. Sam no matter what anyone tells you, you don’t have to believe them, you just have to believe me okay!” James said and I paused and rolled my eyes.
    “James, do you think I’m just going to break up with you just because someone had to say something extremely stupid to me. C’mon I’m not that cheap and stupid” I said and he laughed.
    “okay.. Looks like I have nothing to worry about” he smiled and placed his hand back on my shoulder and we both walked in class.

    We had various subjects and each subject teacher asking me why I wore the school jersey instead of the school uniform and I had to explain heaven and earth for them.
    Immediately school was over I got up and walked over to Catherine Tiana’s stupid friend.
    “Earth to Catherine” I said as she placed her backpack on her desk.
    “and hell to Samantha” she said and I gave her a sounding slap that everyone turned to us. And Tiana quickly rushed up to us stopping Catherine from hitting me back. I could have totally stopped her back, with my teeth and that wouldn’t be friendly.

    “What is going on here.. Samantha what is wrong with you” Tiana said but I ignored.
    “don’t test ME Cat urine or whatever your name is” I said in a threatening tone to Catherine.
    “don’t ignore me and answer me. What’s going on?” Tiana hallowed and I turned to her swiftly.
    “it’s none of your business”.
    “oh. Really. As the class president I have Evey right to know about this” she said and I smirked. “okay then ask your lifeless friend what the problem is and don’t ask me”.
    “okay Catherine what’s going on” Tiana ask Catherine softly.
    “I don’t know I have no idea of what this bitch is yamming about” Catherine yelled.

    “You’re the bitch, bitch. You’re the reason every teacher is questioning me today, you’re the one who spilled that red paint on me.” I yelled and I got her on the dot cause she couldn’t move or say anything and she’s the one.
    “really Catherine, were you the one who spilled the red paint on her?” I asked and Catherine scoffed “she needed a taste of her own medicine.”

    “A taste of my own medicine, god you need some punches right now slaps are too forgiving” I said and move my hair back.
    “she’s sorry Sam, she’s not going to do that again” Tiana said while I glared at Catherine.

    “Shut the hell up Tiana, you’re not me and I’m not apologizing to her so you shouldn’t” Catherine said boldly
    “what are you doing, the principal would flip if he heard something like that happened in the school” Tiana whispered to Catherine and I took a step closer to the both of them “oh the principal’s so going to hear about this but Catherine pick someone your own size next time, if you don’t want to get taste of your own poison” I warned and walked away. No one can bully me or control, not when I’m still alive even dead I’ll still be the bully.
    Before walking out of the class I looked around for James but I didn’t see him.

    Where could he be’ I thought sadly, “Samantha!” I heard my name called by Victoria and turned to her a little bit disappointed it’s not James.
    “what’s with the face” she asked as she linked Her hand together with mine.
    “I can’t find James” I blurted.
    “oh James left earlier with Tracey to drama class” she said and I paused. “what?”.
    “yeah I saw them with my own eyes” she said and I huffed and walked out of the class pulling her with me,
    Tracey shouldn’t do anything stupid or say anything stupid or I’m gonna kill her.

    I stormed into the drama class, with Victoria who was out of breath. Cause I was walking pretty fast..
    The first people I spotted was James, Kaden and Tracey laughing together, since I started alvery academy that’s the sight that always anger me.
    “James” I called and they all turned.
    “Sam..” he smiled.. “I was looking all over for you why didn’t you tell me when you were coming to drama class”. I asked letting go of Victoria’s arm.
    “I wanted to call you but Tracey–
    “oh Tracey, can I have a word with you” I interrupted James immediately and Tracey head snapped up at me.

    “Why are you doing all these?” I asked Tracey when we both alone at the corner of the class.
    “doing all what?” she asked.
    “first you said stupid things about James and now you’re dragging him along with you and what, you’re telling more stupid things now” I stated and she rolled her eyes.
    “are you trying to break us up?” I asked.

    “Yes, yes I am, I don’t want you guys together” she stated and I gasped loudly.
    “you’re a such a—
    “good friend, look Samantha, maybe you don’t know but for all this, you’ll totally thank me later” Tracey interrupted me, tapped my shoulder and walked away.
    “good friend my butt” I primped, and walked up to my seat beside James and Lucas as the drama teacher walked in
    “good afternoon, as you all know today we’re going to be rehearsing for the school play which is..
    “the frog price..” the class replied and he smiled.

    “Good.. I’ve picked the other casts yesterday and now I’ll be picking the main characters today, you there stand up” he said and pointed to Kaden who asked “me?” to be sure and after the drama teacher nodded he sighed and stood up..
    “Esther Lopez please on your feet” the drama teacher instructed and Esther stood up tiredly.
    “you’re going to be the frog prince, and you’re going to be the princess” the drama teacher said to Kaden and Esther.

    “What?. But sir I don’t want to be the frog p–
    “prince?” the teacher interrupted Kaden and he nods.
    “boy. you’re perfect for the frog prince” the drama teacher smiled weirdly
    “I might be perfect for the frog prince but I don’t have that acting skill” Kaden said and the drama teacher rolled his eyes.
    “non-sense!! I’m not your drama teacher for nothing, I’m going to posses you with the spirit of acting son,” the drama teacher smiled. James laughed lightly as he glance at Kaden who was wearing a sick face.

    “Kaden hates plays” James whispered to me.
    “and I don’t care” I whispered back to him and he rolled his eyes at me. “are you still mad at Tracey?” he asked.
    “I’m not mad at Tracey am mad at you!” I stated.
    “me? What the hell did I do” James whispered
    “but I don’t want to be part of the pla— “shhh.. ” the drama teacher interrupted Kaden and heavens he was looking at James and I.
    “you, stand up.” he said to James and James glance at me before standing up.

    “I was mistaken. You’re the prefect one, before becoming a frog the prince was young, beautiful, charming and petite.. And that’s you, you’re the new frog prince” the drama teacher said dramatically and excitedly and James jaw dropped.
    “what me?” James almost laughed.
    “yeah you got a problem with that” the drama teacher asked and James nod. “if you dare complain about anything like this douche here, I’m gonna reduce your grade marks for this term” the drama teacher threatened.

    “If that’s the case, my mouth are sealed sir” James said and everyone giggled.
    “and you Esther Lopez, you’re the princess”.
    Wait if James is the frog prince and Esther is the princess that means they’re gonna kiss at the ending scene and I can’t let that happen. I have to be princess.
    “uhm sir, if I may” I stood up and the drama teacher turned to me.
    “and you’re?” he asked.
    “Samantha.. Samantha kress.” I tell him.

    “Okay the newbie, do I happen to have any business with you?” he asked and I nod. “which is?”
    “I’d like to be the princess” I said and he smiled.
    “as you can see miss kress the princess role is already taken by the school’s president” the drama teacher announced and I balled my fist..
    “She didn’t pick the role instead you chose the role for her and that’s not fair” I said and voice echoed but little murmurs start to rise.

    “Are you trying to tutor me in what’s right or wrong?” the drama teacher asked feeling a little mad. He can be mad for all I care I just want to be beside my James.
    “I am not trying to tutor you sir, but sometimes the younger ones are the best when it comes to saying the right thing, I’ve been a member of this school for almost a month and I’ve heard things about you like giving Esther the lead role anytime there’s a school play and that’s partiality sir, it’s not fair if I may say” I said boldly and James nodded at me.

    “What.. You little girl what do you know.” he yelled angrily.
    “I don’t know a lot but with the little I know, I’ll not hesitate to share that, Esther’s the school President and she has a lot on her plate, doing most of the school jobs and just giving her the school play’s lead role is another job to her plate have you ever wondered or have you ever thought of the idea of asking her if she wants to be lead role, cause it seems like you don’t car about her health if you haven’t thought of that” I narrated and glance at Esther who was gazing at me and giving me a happy smile.
    “what are you talking about I do care about our president’s health” the teacher said and I arched my brows. “then ask her the billion dollar question” I said and he glared a me before turning to Esther.

    “Esther, would you like to be the princess of this year’s sch–
    “no sir, I don’t want to” Esther interrupted him and I wore a happy smile.
    “but why?”
    “Samantha’s right, everything she just said is right,” Esther replied and the drama teacher glared at me before saying.
    “okay, fine’ your stupid wish has come to pass, you’re the new princess, you happy??!”
    “more than happy” I smirked,

    The drama teacher gave a boy in the twelfth grade the role of my father, the king and gave Victoria the queen. He gave the other main role to some people I don’t know and we did a little rehearsal before school was FINALLY over,
    Esther quickly rushed to me stopping me from going out.
    “thanks for today” she said
    “thanks for what?” I asked
    “for standing up for me somehow, I mean no one has ever stood up to the drama teacher like that even me and being the school’s president is hard work and I really couldn’t tell him.

    I didn’t want a part in the school’s play. But then you helped me, thank you for that” she explained and I smiled “it was nothing, he needed someone like me” I said and she laughed “but I’m really grateful, and you’re such a perfect role for the princess, it’s a good thing you fought for your place” she said and I smiled.

    I didn’t fight for her or stood up for her, I stood up for myself because of James, I like him so much and seeing another girl kiss him for a school play is just a like nightmare for me.

    My Madam And I Chapter 4

    Thank you for choosing Siri as your online beautiful sweet story reading partner. Today we have “My Madam And I Chapter 4 Or Episode Four Of My Madam And I Stories Or Novels To Read with Siri.”

    👩‍❤️‍👨 My Madam And I Chapter Four:

    I was standing at her hotel room door at about 6.55pm, after I managed to lose a coworker on my trail.

    Ruth, a tall dark girl with a super model like physique that fits in her unique fashion sense, coupled with a gentle face and a beautiful smile, all these features gave her a captivating and charming look. She is so fond of me that she intrudes in all of my affairs at work. On that faithful day, I had to ditch her as she is always of the habit of following me to the park. But I was able to convince her anyway.

    A voice beckoned me in, and there she was sitting on a chair close to a wall mirror with a glass of wine in hand, and a bottle of vodka on the table in front of her.

    “Good evening ma” I greeted as I walked in giving a false jitter impression. She maintained her posture, ignoring my presence, took a sip from her glass still gazing into the mirror.

    She was clad in the same brown flowered mini gown she wore earlier that reviewed her massive hip and thick butt. I sat myself on the bed left to dwell in my own perplexity of mental soliloquy wondering what she’s up to. And then I decided to break in. “nice joint” but she didn’t seem to have heard me, so I tried again. “I never knew this joint is this classy”. She still paid me deaf ears. So I took out my phone and began to tackle stage 853 of my candy crush.

    “Come here!” Her command startled me. Nevertheless, I went to her and stood beside her. She turned and looked at me half tipsy. ” am I beautiful to you? ” I was taken aback by this question, so my expression sold me out. She repeated. “do you think I’m half as attractive as the lady from today? ” I knelt beside her, placed my hands on her thighs and said softly ” you are not just attractive, but beautiful. I am a sucker for the likes of you, I mean someone with all these voluptuousness that makes me droll” ( all lies). She looked passionately into my eyes, I could see she’s tipsy. She held my face and bent her head to a side and said solemnly “You remind me of someone, but…” she brought her face closer to mine and continued…”You are better”. She paused, and then said, “kiss me!”. I kissed her hypnotically, and she came on me like a hungry lion. We fell over and she landed on my chest with all her weight. Her breath reeked of vodka, but all that swallowed up my lips and tongue hungrily.

    I made sure I gave her the sex of her life. The drink made her more sexually aroused and thanks to the herbal drink I took earlier on my way to her, It made a lasting impression.

    Smooching, s—–g and bleeping simultaneously, all positions observed while my rod was as rigid as its name. I made sure I was in charge all the way, took advantage of the opportunity to display my acquired professionalism over the years, it paid off coz she squirted severally . She even called me ” daddy” and another name of someone I think she’s had something with “Tony”. I paid less attention to that, what’s my business before?

    The s*x was crazy. We laid on the floor after multiple of rounds, wrapped in each others arms. I guess she now considered me a man to have held me so tight while resting her head on my chest. Even though her legs where not up to my knees, and her weight crushing my bones I had to endure.

    “Please don’t resign no matter what I do to you ”. This came more from the heart than the last time she confessed falsely. I ki*ssed her hair and decided to check my time, it was past 9. ” oh my goodness! It’s late, I made attempt to jet up but was cut short by her grip on my hand and hastily said ” call your people, tell them you are not coming, don’t worry, you can order whatsoever you want, I will drop you off tomorrow”. She sounded more apologetic than authoritative which was her mannerism. I paused and considered this, it wasn’t tempting at all, I needed my rest, but I had to comply owing to my long term goal. So I agreed and put a call across to my mom. It took ample time convincing my mom that I wouldn’t come home for some reasons I cooked up.

    Then after which we ordered drinks and food, talked about everything centred around me, my school days, girlfriends, family, and so on. I tried to be modest and conceal anything that will sell me out.

    We had an erotic bath together afterward that led to multiple rounds of extravagant orgasms which took us from the bathroom to the room. I was completely drained when she finally squ*irted her last and laid motionless on me breathing heavily.

    I was still enjoying my sleep when someone tapped me aggressively on my back. I turned in anger to see who it was. ” get up from there! Are you not supposed to go home and clean up? Or were you thinking you were going to work from here? Get up jhur ! ” My madam stormed at me in her usual venomous tone. I was appalled , wiped my eyes with the back of my hand to get into clear consciousness and be sure it wasn’t a dream. She laid back,turning her back on me, pointed to the table in front of her. ” that’s for your transport, please hurry up I want to close the door “. I was overly ragged. I wanted to smack the devil out of her fat face , but I had to tame the beast in me with all the will power I can grasp. So I took the money which was overly more than my transportation, enough to sustain me for two days, both on feeding and transportation. It was 5am. I left the hotel premises and wondered into the early morning darkness in search of a cab.

    I barely slept up to three hours before thrown into the street. Got home at about 6.15 AM after a long wait for a cab heading my route. I rested for few minutes, had my shower, did the needful and left for work.

    It was a Saturday, and saturdays are usually busy with people popping in from all angle, getting mostly groceries.

    My duty was basically customer care service, which also involves welcoming and giving customers directions. It seem as an easy job, but don’t be surprised that I barely sit for an hour the whole day.

    Today, I was unbelievably exhausted even before coming to work. I had to take energy drink at every chance I got. I barely responded as friendly as I should. Ruth noticed my fatigue demeanor and stepped in for me often. ” what did you do last night? You look like someone who mounted a giant ” she teased. ” I think I have malaria ” I lied. ” Oh! You should have taken permission and skipped today” Her tone reeked of sincere concern. ” you know madam won’t believe that kind of feeble excuse, else she sees it herself “I said. ” That’s true! Then go and rest. Sit over there “. She pointed to a sit close to the security station. “I will help you talk to the manager, perhaps he will give you the day off. I thought it a splendid idea, at least a little nap will do a lot of repair. So I complied to her suggestion.

    The manager came in a jiffy with Ruth lurking behind. He looked worried. After some kind word concern, he permitted me to leave.

    Just as I was strolling towards the exit with Ruth walking beside me. We got to the exit and waited for the security guard to open the door for us when my madam forcefully pushed herself in, I abruptly moved backward to create space for her to come in. She stopped in front of me, looking as though I had an ugly growth on my face. “where are you people going to by this time of the day?” she enquired sarcastically. ” He’s sick, so the manager gave him a day off”. Ruth replied. Who asked that stupid manager to make such decree? ” She stormed. Her loud tone called attention from customers whose countenance showed their disapproval, but she cared more for a dead rat than their opinion. ” Somebody call that born fool! Where the hell is that manager?! ” Her yell could be heard a mile away. I decided to intervene and perhaps save the manager. ” it’s not his fault… ” I was cut short with a startling “shut up! Am not talking to you! “. I guess by now I should be acquainted with my position as a ‘ ble*ep boy’, that was all there is to it, bleep boy. I stood aside while she walked in yelling for the manager,who unfortunately went out get lunch at a nearby restaurant. After wind got to him, he ran in like a troubled buffalo.

    ” Since when did you acquire this mall?” she asked sitting on a comfy sit in her office, which was tastefully furnished.

    ” I’m sorry ma, I don’t get”. He asked in utmost perplexity. ” you don’t get?!” She retorted in a sarcastic way. ” what don’t you get?! Are you so dumb that you can’t grasp a simple english? Who owns this place?” she yelled. ” ha! It’s you ma! nobody is disputing the fact “. He responded. ” then who gave you the right to send one of my staff home? ” she asked looking steadily at him. ” he is sick, we can’t keep a sick staff here. ” he answered. ” and you didn’t see it wise to ask for my approval first! emmm?!” The room was as quiet as a grave yard at night, while the manager looked sheepishly at her. Then she broke the silence. ” people like you who think they can do anything they like does not deserve to work here, or do you think you deserve to work here? ” She said coldly and readjusted herself more comfortably. He looked at her unbelievably,” ha! I’m very sorry ma, it will never happen again. ” he said kneeling in front of her apologetically.

    Sam is the name of our manager, a small and lanky fellow. Although could be mistaken for an adolescent, but was nudging his late 40’s. He has been with my madam for 5 years, the only one who lasted that long in the history of the mall, others barely stayed up to 6 months. Hence the reason he is the manager.

    Sam is the bread winner of his immediate family which consists of a wife who is a full-time house wife, while his straight line graph children were in primary one to five according to their respective ages. His salary can barely foot his inevitable bills yet his world revolves around his job coz that was the best he has ever had.

    Few minutes later he came out with a droopy countenance. It is glaring something went wrong . We tried to enquire from but he blatantly ignored us . We watched him go to his office,returned some few minutes later with his stuff, we tried all we could to console him coz it was obvious what transpired, but he silently walked out of the mall without acknowledging us.

    I felt a tight knot in my tummy, It made me feel sick. I felt even worse knowing it happened all because of my lousy shenanigan with my madam. All I wanted to do at the moment was resign, but I couldn’t. I swore to get another job if it’s the last thing I do. That day was so gloomy for all of us coz Sam was an understanding guy and kind too.
