Dedicated to MozB, Jagugu88li (the early sleeper) and Myself.


MABEL.



Jude and i had been an item for six years. We had loved each other and we also made plans to get married after i aborted the third pregnancy for him. I loved him, he was my life and when he left me, it was like my whole life was crumbling, especially when i found out i was pregnant again.



It wasnt really his fault per se...but he could have stood by me. I expected him to remain by my side. But simply because of a simple mistake, just a mistake, all we shared for the past six years came crumbling.


I am human, liable to mistakes...no matter how much i cried begging him, he never came back to me. My life was miserable without him. I nearly lost my pregnancy due to the emotional trauma i was facing. I was left all alone, no parents, no friends, no husband, nothing.



I wondered how my child was going to fare without a father in his life.


But about six or five years later, he sent a later from Ghana. I'd been excited to read the letter, but when i saw the contents of the letter, i was so angry, shocked and mad

I was shocked, angry and mad. The letter read.

Mab,




How is my son doing? I hope you're taking good care of him. I heard you've turned yourself into a commercial sex worker. Its all good, i've always seen it in you. If you could sleep with your best friends's husband, then what cant you do?



I want you to know that i'm coming back or my child very soon. A child cannot grow with a mother who lacks morals, a cheap prostitute. I'm ready to use force on you if i have to, i'm coming for my child with full force.



Take care of yourself, and my child.


Your son's father,



Jude.




I kept that letter and whenever i read it, i laughed. He was such a fool! Who could take my son away from me?



The letter was in my hands today, and i remembered those days. Those days filled with love and happiness for me. But i lost all that because of one man.



I folded the letter angrily.

KAINENE.


I saw the way Kaka and Nathaniel chatted like they had known each other for a very long time. I didnt contribute to any of their discussions but it was fun listening to them, especially Nathan. The guy was funny and he spoke wisely.



I also noticed that he had a packet of a cigarette and a lighter on his table but he hadnt smoked it since we sat with him. It was almost like he was trying to be a gentleman. I rolled my eyes. I couldnt stop thinking about our kiss. My first kiss.



He also stated it was his first kiss. I scoffed, who was he fooling.



'you've been doing a lot of scoffing babyK...' i heard Kaka say. I jerked, then i smiled.


'what are you thinking about?' she asked.



'you...' i said.



'i pray oo...' she picked up her purse 'anyway, Xavier just called me, said we need to meet now. I'll stop by his apartment before heading home...'



I suddenly felt bad that she was about leaving. How do i sit with this guy? It was going to be awkward...and crazy. Plus, i was going to be lonely.



I only forced a smile 'my regards to Xaviercasmir'



'Xaviercasmir?' Nathan smirked 'what does it mean?' he was looking at me.


'why are you looking at me?' i asked rudely 'do i look like the bearer of the name?'


He looked at Kaka, then back at me 'i'm sorry'



'sorry for your stupid self!'



'babyK, i need to speak to you for a while, uhmm, Nath? I'll just borrow her for a sec' Kaka said.


'i'm sorry but i wont be coming back. Take care' i said standing up. I saw his disappointed gaze, but i didnt care.


Kaka took me to a corner 'Kainene, what was the meaning of that?'



'meaning of what?'



'why were you acting rude to that guy?'



'is that really a question? Cant you see that guy is arrogant on his own?'


'babyK...you're not behaving matured at all. That guy likes you. You werent listening to our conversation, else you would have known that almost all the things we talked about was you. He kept asking things like what you liked and what you disliked. He just wanted to know everything about you'



I shrugged nonchalantly 'so?'



'he likes you. He's a cute, intelligent, rich. He's even a gentleman. How many guys would have a cigarette in front of them and not smoke simply because a lady is with them. Kainenechukwu, you'll like this man, he's going to respect you. I'm sure its only a matter of time before he asks you out'



I looked at her 'you really dont know what you're blabbing about Kaka, you dont even know the guy who was chatting with you just now...' i shook my head 'too bad'


'babyK...'



'go to Xaviercasmir abeg, or whats that his funny name again?'



She shook her head and walked away angrily. I also shook her head and headed straight to my office.



An hour later, she called me. She was crying.



'Kaka, why are you crying?' i asked alarmed.



Then she sobbed 'babyK, its Xavier. Xavier....'



'what did Xavier do?'



'i caught him screwing another woman K, he was fuvcking another woman!'
