“You wouldn’t allow Alama dance with me neither would you allow her dance with you, why did you want from her exactly?” Earl asked Clifford.

“I just didn’t want her to seduce you, don’t you get?” Clifford asked.

“But I don’t care, the girl is decent and her intentions to dance are so poor, look how beautiful she danced last night?” Earl said.

“It’s my responsibility to protect all my brothers, I can’t let that girl seduce you?” Clifford said.

“Funny! ” Earl said and grinned.

We were all inside the car waiting for Alma to show up, it was a Monday morning.

Few minutes later, Alma arrived and opened the left door of the car.

She sat right beside Earl.

“What took you so late?”Earl asked her.

” Should have arrived earlier but I found out my menstruation has commenced, I had to quickly go back inside and change.” Alma said.

“You look beautiful anyway.” Earl said to Alma.

“Thank you.” Alma blushed.

“Play the music?” Clifford commanded the driver and he did.

I guess it was to stop Alma and Earl from communicating but they continued communicating even though we barely hear what they were saying.

“Stop that music?” Clifford said to the driver and he did.

We were on our way to school already.

“Can you stop talking to that lady?” Clifford asked Earl.

Earl who had his face set on Alma took it to Clfford.

Clifford was sitting on the right edge of the chair.

“Wouldn’t it be beautiful if you refer to her as Alma, she’s our dancer not a slave, remember?” Earl asked.

“As long as she’s poor, she is not worthy of being with us.” Clifford said.

“Well, I can only see Alma and her dancing skills, nothing else….I care less about her state of poverty. I won’t stop talking to her , though.” Earl said.

As Earl took his face to Alma, Clifford shouted and said; “Earl….come and sit here.”

Earl took his face back at Clifford.

“Fine.” He answered softly and went to exchange sit with Clifford.

Clifford was now sitting right beside Alma.

“Move ,move..don’t touch me.” Clifford said to Alma.

Alama adjusted to the door of the car.

“Be careful not to touch me, or I will be firing you.”Clifford said to Alma.

“But…you can avoid that by remaining at where you sat originally.” Alma said but he shot her an angry look.

“How dare you? you think I did not know you were trying to seduce my brothers?” He asked her.

“I’m not.” Alma replied courageously.

“How dare you talk that way to me, you have no fear for me again or what?” He asked with a loud voice.

Alma lowered her head and didn’t say any more word.

“Find a place to park.”Clifford commanded the driver and he did find somewhere to park.

After the car had come to an halt, Clifford turned to Alma and said; ” Get down.”

“Huh!” Alma exclaimed.

“Get down from my car and find other means to school.”
