Episode 51
I hung up and grafted a message immediately, telling Claire that I was packing out, reasons being that memories of my ex loomed around the house and I needed to clear my head.
When I was sure the message had delivered, I switched off my phone and locked my door before crossing over to William’s apartment.
Leonard opened the door and a smile quickly appeared on his face.
Leonard: Hello beautiful one, come in.
I greeted, returning his smile as I stepped into their sitting room. I was putting on a bum short and baggy top (with nothing underneath both). I settled on the soft milky rug, my favourite spot in the apartment. Leonard sat on a cushion opposite to where I sat.
Leonard: William is in the kitchen. He’ll join us before I leave.
Me; Going out or I’m chasing you out?
Leonard: See this girl, are you a stranger in this house? I want to go to bisara road to get something from a colleague, then drop at shoprite for some groceries.
Me: Long story. I know your ways nau. Anyways, if you like, don’t come back on time. You know I’ll be leaving tomorrow morning.
Leonard: I’m not forgetting that.
William: She’s forgetting we helped in loading the truck.
William joined us with a dishcloth in his hands.
Me: Good afternoon Will
William: Thanks baby. So you came to remind us that you’ll be leaving tomorrow abi?
Me: No nau. I came to spend time with you guys. Don’t make me cry with fake accusations
He dropped the dishcloth and settled beside me on the rug.
William: Then, why would you leave?
Leonard cleared his throat and stood up.
Leonard: I’ll see you two later. Need to run along now.
William: My regards to Henry.
Leonard: Alright. Come and lock up. Babe, what will I get you?
Me: Uhm… peppered chicken will do.
Leonard: Alright. See you later.
He left and William came back to sitting where he was.
William: So?
