She helped me off load some of my luggage and placed it by the door which was closed at the time. She was really kind towards me and I had no idea why, but I figured that’s how she naturally was.
The second person who came out of the house was Lincoln, then my “dad” Nigel, followed by KG, Malcolm and a trio of girls, as if one wasn’t enough. I stood there and observed every one of them. You could actually say I was judging them.
Lincoln walked towards me to give me a hug. “Hey babe, I’m so glad to have you back” he whispered in my ear. I looked at that loser and felt like punching him in the face. He was literally flirting with me in front of his girlfriend, as much she didn’t notice, I felt like he was being disrespectful. I snubbed him, even though I made it look like it was a joke.
The rest of the boys and those strange girls stood there looking at me like I was an alien, never mind the fact that they all looked like they were high on something. “Uhm… are you guys going to help me carry my bags inside?” I asked because I was very puzzled by their state. That line definitely activated them, almost as if they were coming out of a trance. “Dude, did you win the lottery or something? What’s with this metamorphosis?” asked KG. “See, whilst you were busy getting high, as usual… I was working my butt off!” I replied. KG’s looks had started to fade a little; he was starting to look like an alcoholic.
I looked at the exterior of the house and I really couldn’t believe my eyes, they made absolutely no effort in ensuring that they keep the house as presentable as I had left it. I was fuming. I had even started shaking. I then pointed out a few things that were disturbing me. “Look Earl, we’ll clean it up man!” said KG.
I had absolutely no words for him. It felt so awkward because I felt like I was being scrutinized by EVERYONE. Almost as if I was auditioning for a big role in a movie. To break the ice I simply called them monkeys and asked that they help me carry my luggage into the house. They jumped at the opportunity. I really wanted to laugh because they all looked so stupid. In fact if I had video recorded that moment and shown it to them, they too would have laughed at themselves.
The time had come for me to enter the house. I was so afraid. I actually had to say a silent prayer before taking that huge leap of faith. I had an idea of what awaited me and I was just trying to delay having to see that.
