Shadow Of Love

Episode 26

I stood up and walked into my room. I locked my door and cried bitterly. Why would she let her feelings for Tobe come between us? Why would she change all of a sudden because she loved Tobe and he in return, loves me? I cried myself to sleep only to wake up to the sound of a knock. I looked at my table clock and it was some minutes past 8pm. I left my room and went to open the door. It was Charles and Flord. I greeted them and made to walk back to my room when Charles stopped me.

Charles: Please wait Pamela. We’re here to see you.

Charles was such a gentleman. He was cute, tall and was also on the intelligent team because he was the SUG Secretary. He was also from a rich family. His sense of fashion was also very smart and he was one of the personalities I respected in school.

Me; Hope there’s no problem? Anyways, sit down please.

They settled to a cushion and I sat opposite them.

Me: Mind if I get you something?

God knows I was referring to Charles because I was angry at Flord for being the two faced cheating bas’tard he was.

Charles: Nah. I’m okay. I’ve being calling your phone but you weren’t taking your calls.

Me: Ah! Excuse me please.

I went into my room and retrieved my phone from my handbag. 16 missed calls, all from Charles. I came out and apologised, telling him how I had slept off immediately I got back from school.

Charles; It’s alright. I thought you had transferred the feud to myself as well.
I gave him a puzzled look.

Me: What feud?

He cleared his throat and looked at me with his innocent eyes.

Charles: Franca told me all that happened here this evening.

Oh! Why didn’t I figure out why he was here? It’s obvious he loves Franca to the moon and back.

Charles: Whatever she must have done wrong? I’m sorry. I…

Me: Did she tell you what her offense was?

Charles: She said she was just angry that you suddenly became too proud of yourself because of Tobe and all the things he has given you.
