COMMON MISTAKES LADIES IN A RELATIONSHIP (EPISODE 11 & 12)

I instantly broke free from David when i saw Samuel enter my room. My heart furiously pounded while my legs shook, as he sat on my bed with a blank expression……

David just stood with a smile on his face as he stared at Samuel who just pretended as if he didn’t notice his presence,

“My guy how far nah” i heard David say, as he drew close to him with an extended right hand, which he unhappily shook with a dry smile on his face. I felt like disappearing like a ghost as i watched them with frightened eyes……..

“Baby i have to get going, we will continue our discussion later, okay!” David said with a smile before leaving my room, while all i did was just to stare at him silently, because i really was extremely confused that moment…….

“Here are the movies you asked me to buy” Samuel said coldly, as he stood up with a nylon bag, immediately after David left, while i drew closer to him and stared into his eyes, but he instantly looked away…….

He dropped the small nylon bag, which instantly opened as soon as it landed on my bed, revealing a plate of ice cream, a well wrapped cake and two DVD plates, which i eyed hungrily as soon as i saw them…….

“I’m going to my room, do have a nice evening” he added with a cold tone, which sent shivers down my spine. I instantly reached for his right hand, which i held tightly with shaking hands.

“Why are you leaving so soon, and why is your voice so cold?” i asked, even though i knew the reason he was angry, but naturally as a girl i pretended not to know, moreover i equally owed him no explanation, because i wasn’t yet officially his girlfriend…….

“Please i’m very tired, we will talk later” he replied, without even looking at me, while i bit my lips as i cursed David in my mind,

“What you saw earlier, dosen’t mean anything, he just forced himself on me” i tried to explain, which i really did with a whole lot of courage, because i hate explaining my actions to anyone, and i equally had to do it, because i very much cared about him, but my explanation only made him more angry, and his eyes furiously burned as he looked up at me in a way i never had seen him look.

“Let me go, you girls are all the same” he muttered, snatched his hand from my grip and left my room, while his last words smote my heart like a double edged sword…..

Oh how it pains to be wrongfully accused or suspected……

——————————————

I battled with my pride as i watched him leave. Truly I felt like following him to his room that moment and continue with my explanation, but i held myself,

“Let him be for now, don’t go after him, you are a girl for Christ’s sake” my mind advised me…….

I locked my door and laid on my bed, while my thoughts kept me company as i wondered and reasoned how Samuel must have felt when he saw David and i hugging.

“But it was just a friendly hug nau” i reassured myself and sighed……

I really was confused on how to approach Samuel or apologize to him without appearing cheap, because there really was nothing i hate more, than a girl begging a guy over anything,

“Hmmm i did that as a little naive girl, i don’t think i will stoop so low for him” i muttered to myself, even though my mind wasn’t strong as i sounded……

Two hours later, i left my room and knocked on his door, which opened a minute later, but it wasn’t Samuel who opened the door, but one of David’s friend who also was our neighbour…….

I gasped in surprise when i saw him, because i knew he wasn’t friendly or close with Samuel, but i kept my thoughts to myself, as i forced out a smile and entered into the room…..

I panicked and shook in fear when i equally saw David sitting on a plastic chair with a smile on his face, while Samuel sat on his rug and faced his television. I smelt danger immediately, even though everything appeared normal inside the room….

“Hahaha your friend is already here, we have to get going” David said with a smile as he nodded to his friend, who was at the door, stood up and shook hands with Samuel.

“Don’t look at me that way nah, i just came to see Sam and also make him my friend, you know he hardly talks to people” He explained as he drew close and touched my left cheek, before leaving the room with his friend…….

“Hope everything is okay?” i asked Samuel with concern, immediately we were alone, but he said nothing to me,

“Talk to me nau” i anxiously pleaded as i held his left hand……

“Everything is fine” he said with a dry smile, while i shook my head,

“Your voice dosen’t sound alright, tell me what did he say to you?” i asked, but he just smiled again and stared at me,

“It’s just boy’s talk and nothing you should know” he replied coldly, before facing his t.v again, while i bit my lips, stormed out from his room, and marched towards David’s room angrily…..

Seriously i never knew i had such courage to march towards David’s room that evening unaided. I soon got to his door and knocked furiously. But i was caught off guard when a pretty slim girl opened the door and stared at me in surprise…….

“eemm is David inside?” i managed to ask, but the girl just kept quiet and looked me over. Luckily David soon appeared with a smile behind the girl,

“I know you will surely show up, Linda make way for our visitor to enter nah” i heard him say……

EPISODE 12

“I didn’t come for a friendly visit, please leave Samuel and i alone, we didn’t do anything to you” i barked at him furiously, while his smile quickly died away, as my words hit him like a disfigured 504 salon car…….

Linda equally stared at me with confusion in her eyes, while David quickly controlled his surprise and forced out a smile again,

“Come inside lets discuss, i don’t understand your outburst” he said to me, but i just eyed him furiously and walked away fearlessly……..

‘Imagine the idiot even have a girl in his room, tomorrow he will claim that she is his sister mtcheeeew” i said with a long sigh as i walked towards Samuel’s room…….

“Where did you go?” he anxiously asked, as soon as i entered his room,

“I went to give that silly David a piece of my mind” i replied, while his face coloured immediately……

“Are you crazy? What did you just do?” he asked with a slightly raised tone, while my eyes equally sparkled with anger as i stared at him….

“You asked whether i’m crazy right? No wahala i brought all these problems and insults upon myself” i said angrily, stood up and left his room,

“No wait i never meant to insult you” i heard him plead, as he rushed up and held my left hand, but i snatched it from him and walked into my room……..

He knocked on my door for hours, called my phone countless times, and even sent me lots of text messages that evening, which i all ignored, because i really wanted to punish him a little, though i must confess i enjoyed every bit of it……..

I equally heard David’s ‘pattern of knocking’ on my door later in the night, i equally ignored it and slept away…….

Early the next day, i went downstairs with my bucket to fetch water, because i earlier planned to travel home that fateful day.

“Hello” i heard a feminine voice greet, as i was filling my bucket with tap water, i turned instantly with a smile, and there stood the same girl i saw in David’s room the previous day staring at me……

“What’s up dear” i replied politely,

“Do you recognize me?” she asked,

“Of course i do. Were you not the girl i saw in David’s room yesterday?” i replied and asked,

“Yea i’m the girl, i’m so sorry for being a little rude to you yesterday” she apologized, while i laughed,

“Were you rude to me? Hmmm i didn’t even notice it, anyway it’s cool my name is Mary” i said to her,

“Thanks dear, mine is Linda” she replied,

“Yea i know” i said with a smile as i carried my bucket, while she blushed…….

“Please there is something i wish to sit down and discuss with you” she humbly pleaded. I stared at her in surprise and breathed deeply,

“I’m travelling today, but i’ll be back by tomorrow afternoon, will tomorrow evening be okay for you?” i asked,

“Yea it will, i will come over to your room” she replied with glittering eyes, which made her look even more beautiful.

“Do you know my room?” i asked with surprise,

“of course i do” she replied with a smile,

“okay till then” i said as i nodded in agreement, before walking away with my bucket of water, while my thoughts kept me company, as i wondered what she really wanted to discuss with me…

____________________

I really couldn’t relax when i finally travelled home that fateful day, as i kept on wondering what Linda wanted to discuss with me, but then i really had no clue nor choice, than to have patience till the next evening when we scheduled our meeting for…….

“I don’t understand you anymore, are you still angry with me?” i heard Samuel ask, when i finally answered his phone call later in the evening. Truly i equally was so glad to hear his voice, because even though i really was angry with him, for the tone and words he used on me the previous day, i equally knew i also was at fault…..

“Let’s just forget about it, it’s all in the past” i replied calmly,

“Thank God you know, anyway where are you?” he asked,

“I travelled home but i will be back tomorrow” i replied,

“My God! See your way nah, you just travelled without informing me?” he accused bitterly,

“I’m sorry, though you caused it” i muttered quietly…….

____________________________

I returned the next day, with a heavy pocket, and lots of foodstuffs which gladened my heart and made me very happy,

“GOD bless you mummy” i sang to myself…….

2pm, After i had kept all my foodstuffs in their locations, i freshened up and headed to Samuel’s room, dressed in my black sleeveless top and a short. With a bowl of oranges, guava and English pear on my left hand, i knocked on his door, which opened seconds later,……

“Oh goodness me!” he exclaimed immediately his eyes fell on me. I smiled and cat-walked into his room,

“Did you miss me?” i asked with a smile,

“Of course i missed you” he replied instantly as he stared at me with a surprising look……..

“Here are the fruits i brought for you, hope you know how to peel oranges?” i asked with a smile, as i stood up seconds later,

“No i don’t know how to peel them” he replied jokingly.

“I will peel them for you later in the evening, i want to go and prepare soup with the ingredients my mum gave me, before they get spoilt” i explained, while he breathed deeply,

“Okay then lets go together” he said with a smile,

“No don’t bother i’m expecting a friend” i replied. He bit his lips and stared at me suspiciously, but luckily for him, he didn’t ask any stupid question which could have brought another problem between us……..

“Okay then, i guess i’ll have to wait here for the soup” he said with a forced smile,

“I never said i was bringing any for you” i joked, touched his jaw and left without another word……..

I really do love to cook, and it really is one of the qualities i inherited from my mum, who never gets tired of cooking even when her children is around.

I was soon done with the soup minutes later, and as i was about bringing it down from my stove, i heard gentle knocks on my door……

“Hey dear, hope i came at the right time?” linda asked sweetly, when i opened my door a minute later,

“Yea dear, infact you came at the right time, i just finished cooking a pot of soup” i replied politely,

“Hmmm really!, i thought you just returned?” she asked, while i just smiled and shrugged,

“kpom kpom kpommm kpom kpom kpom kpom!” David’s pattern of knocking soon sounded on my door, moments later as we were about settling down for discussion,

“Who could be knocking this way?” i heard linda ask,

“I think it’s David” i answered with a smile as i watched her face, while she instantly gasped in fear…….
