Must Read: Razor Tongue - Season 1 - Episode 24

Charles and Nnese sat beside the pool in their tee
shirts and shorts, watching their children and
grandchildren playing and dining by the pool
side.
“When was the last time they were this happy?”
“I don’t remember.”
“I am glad everything is sorted out now.”
“God is faithful.”
“Yes, he is.”

John refilled his glass with freshly sq££zed
pineapple juice. Eureka raised her empty glass
and he filled it too.
“I feel refreshed,” he sipped at his drink.
“Same here,” she tore into a roasted chicken lap.
“We need to do this often,” Martha winked at her
husband.
“Really?”
“Yes, sweet heart. All work and no play… ”
“Hmmm… ”
“What’s hmmm?” She eyed him.
“I will think about it.”
“Good,” she pecked him on the cheek.
Dorcas and Imabong got out of the pool and
joined them at the table.

“Both of you swarm like fishes,” John waved a
bone at his sister and her husband.
She chuckled and filled an empty glass with
pineapple juice.
“Well… I will take that as a compliment,”
Imabong winked at his brother in-law.
Boma, Edidiong and Sheila sneaked up behind
Daniel and pushed him into the pool along with
his chair.
“What in the world!” Martha got up and knelt at
the edge of the pool.
Daniel started laughing and swarm towards her.
“You kids do not have respect again.”
They approached her with smiles all over their
faces.
“What? What do you think… Stay away from me.”
They ignored her and pushed her into the pool.
“Three of you are going to pay for this!” Martha
screamed at her nephew and her neices.

Dorcas and Imabong started to laugh. John and
Eureka joined them.
Daniel pulled his wife close and swarm with her,
“Isn’t this what you want?”
She stuck out her tongue at him. He grinned and
drew one of her ears.
“Hey!” She slapped his hand away.
“Your sister can swim like a fish, what about
you?”
“I am better.”
“Really?”
“I won several medals at different swimming
competitions when I was in the university.”
“That was decades ago.”
“Race with me.”
“What’s the catch?”
“A thousand pounds.”
“Deal,” they shook hands. He called out to
everyone and annouced the competition between
him and his wife. Everyone gathered at the pool.

“On your mark, set, go!” John shouted.

Daniel and Martha dived into the pool and swarm
as if their life depended on it. They both got to
the end of the pool at the same time. They both
won.
