Episode 10
He came to me again, wrapping his arms around me and whispering sweet nothings to my ear.
Me: Tobe, just leave me alone.
Tobe: You know I can’t. And I won’t. I love you very much. Why is it difficult for you to understand…..
Me: And why is it difficult for you to understand that I can’t be a side chick to anyone?
His jaw dropped and he looked on in amazement.
Me: I want a relationship where I’m sure of the future, where I’m not just someone who’ll be used to pass time. I want what’s mine Tobe and if I can’t get it here, I’ll just walk.
Tobe; Walk and leave me? Baby, you’re no side chick. You’re the woman I love, the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.
He came forward but I stepped back, holding my towel so it won’t fall.
Tobe; Pamel, let’s sit and talk things out. You can’t leave without confirming the reason for my action.
I looked at him and sat down and he quickly followed.
Tobe: Fantasy and I have known since childhood. Her father is the senate president and daddy wants to get a lot of favour from him, politically and otherwise. I’m just playing along because if I don’t, I will be cut off from a lot of things, a lot of privileges. This whole saga will end once I graduate.
Me: And how sure are you?
He held my shoulders and gave out a smile.
Tobe: I have this things already sorted out. Trust me. You’re the woman for me, nothing will ever separate us. That’s a promise.
Me: Your family? You know they’ll never accept me.
Tobe: You should worry less about that. I have everything in control.
I heard my phone ring and I excused myself. It was Flord.
Me: Hello.
Flord: Hi. What’s up?.
Me: I’m good. How’s your night?
Flord: Thankful to God. Was at your house now. When are you coming back?
Me: Tomorrow evening.
Flord: Can you let me know when you return? I need to speak with you.
Me: Hope everything is fine?
Flord: Uhm…. Yes. Just call me when you return.
Me: I will. How’s my roommate?
Flord: She’s fine. Left her with Charles.
Me: Oh. It’s okay.
Flord: Tomorrow then. Take care alright?
Me: Bye.
I hung up and started calling Franca. I called three times but she didn’t pick, then the fourth time, she switched off the phone.
Me: Imagine?
He was beside me that instant.
Me: Franca. She refused to pick my call and then she switched off her phone. She’s being acting strange since we moved into the house.
Tobe; You sure she’s not busy?
Me: Flord said she was with Charles. But…..
Tobe: Then she’s busy. Let it go. Besides, you’ll still see her tomorrow right? Or you plan to live with me already? Let it be a yes please.
