Shadow Of Love

Episode 27

Me: What? Franca said that?

Flord: Pamela….

Me: Shut up Flord. I’m not talking to you.
I saw the shock in Charles face at the way I snapped at Flord.

Me: Charles. Please, I’ll pretend that you didn’t say that. Franca and I are friends so we’re bound to have issues and we’ll still make up. I don’t know what she told you but you really need to sit your girlfriend down and have a serious discussion with her.

There was a minute or two silence in the room before Charles spoke up again.

Charles: Pamela?

Me: Hmm?

Charles: Is there more to this than I’m seeing it? You can always talk to me y’know?
I felt pity towards him. If only he knew that the two faced idiot who was sharing the same cushion with him was also sharing his girlfriend with him.

Charles: Pamela?

I shook my head and stood up

Me: Nothing. Just talk to your girlfriend. I’ll be inside.

Charles: Wait please.

I stopped and he walked to me.

Charles: Should she look for an apartment elsewhere?

Me: It’s her choice. For me, if she doesn’t mend her ways, I’ll keep on being her nightmare in this house. It’s her choice.

Charles: For goodness sake Pamela, I have this strong feeling that you’re hiding something from me. You two can’t just become like this all of a sudden. Tell me something I don’t know Pamela.

Franca stepped out from her room that instant.

Me: I’ll leave you to ask Flord and your girlfriend that question.

I walked out on them and went into my room.
I was hungry and needed something to eat that minute.

I changed into one of my home clothes and made for my kitchen. There was no one else in the house so I locked the door and went into the kitchen. I started boiling rice since I had stew in my fridge. Tobe hasn’t called so I decided to reach him.

Me: Hi dear.

Tobe: Baby. I was just about calling you. What are you doing?

Me: Cooking and missing the love of my life.

Tobe: So romantic. I’ll be joining you tonight.

Me: Wow. I’m happy to hear that.

Tobe: For real?

Me: Of course. I’ll be waiting

Tobe: I’ll be there after dinner.

Me: Alright. I’ll eat then instead of waiting for you.

Tobe: See you soon honey.

Me: Alright.
