Re: Alone.. by PamelB(f): 9:41am On Aug 10, 2016
We were done with eating and were sitting on a double couch. I had a glass of chamdor in my hand,waiting anxiously to hear about his background.

Hillary: Maybe when you stop looking at me with those dreamy eyes,I'll get back my sanity and kill your curiosity.

I smiled and looked away but he placed his hand on my jaw,cupping it and making me face him.

Hillary: You're beautiful y'know?

Jesus! Will he just get a normal voice than this one that's already sending shivers down my spine.

Hillary: I'm lucky to be with you now. And I'm going to utilize my time as I don't know if we'll still talk after tonight.

I looked up at him immediately, my brain sending different versions of what he meant by that.

He stood up and backed me.

Hillary: When someone is as beautiful,curvy,sexy,intelligent and calm like you,I find it difficult to speak. But I'm going to do that tonight. I'll speak to you Amanda,about my feelings for you.

I dropped my glass on a side table and swallowed hard. He turned and sat down just where he was some minutes ago.

Hillary: The day you had come for registration with the other girl,can't remember her name, I had seen you from afar. I loved the way looked around with these your lovely big eyes. I thought you would be able to see deep into me. I wanted to come to you at the admin block but I noticed the other girl was giving you orders,making you carry her bag and I felt uncomfortable. I had thought you were not even our student.

I closed my eyes,remembering the incident of that day. I was on a milk colour polo and a jean baggy short, together with my trainers. It was my best set of clothes but I began to think otherwise the moment we stepped into the school and people started giving me odd looks. Nenye had made matters worse,she had added to my misery by making me carry her handbag and throwing orders at me like she was a princess and I'm her servant.
I wiped the tear from the edge of my eyes and opened them. Hillary was looking into my face so I looked away.

Hillary: I didn't see you again afterwards. I went to that girl and asked after you but she denied ever knowing you. I had always followed her,trying to see if I could set my eyes on you again but it didn't work out. Seven weeks after registration, you came to school as a different person. I didn't recognise you at first because you weren't that girl I saw that day. Your dressing,steps,your smile,it was all different. I made enquiries to be sure if you were the one but nobody knew you too well.

He paused and tucked my weavon behind my ear.

Hillary: That day at the cafe, when the other girl had come to you and your best friend,I confirmed it all. I knew it was you. The pain I saw in your eyes that day told me it was you. I had to do something that was why I approached your best friend Kamsi. And look where we are today.

He held my hands and I was forced to look at him.

Hillary: I love you very much,I sincerely do love you Amanda. Forget the transformation because I know you're still that girl I had seen during registration. You made your way to my heart and you've habited there,not willing to share with anybody. All I ask for is a chance,a chance and if I'm not that guy you want,I'll let you be.

Gospel's words came rushing into my head,"rape victims can't stand relationships". The tears formed in my throat and I let them fall,taking my hands away from Hillary and clutching them like they were going to save me.
The confusion on his face said it all and I know i needed to give him answers.

Me: Behind this face,behind this smile is a sorrowful heart,a condemned one. They ruined me,they took everything from me and left me like this,empty and without support.

He frowned at my words but it didn't stop me.

Me: I'm sorry Hillary,I can't accept to be in a relationship when I know I can't really get involved. When I know I can't make relationships work. Where I will be a catalyst that will destroy that relationship. I can't do it. I'm sorry.

Hillary: What do you mean? What are you saying?

Me: You want to know? Of course I'll tell you.

And without mincing words,I told him everything,from start to finish,including Gospel. I expected him to walk me to the car,take me home and never contact me again. But he proved me wrong. He enveloped me in his arms and let me cry my heart out. We remained in that position for a good number of minutes before he pulled me up;

Hillary: Did you visit a counselor?

I shook my head negatively

Hillary: When are you starting your exams?

Me: Next week.

Hillary: Once your exams are through,we'll go to a counselor. She is a very good friend of mine and she'll help you out of this. Whatever your past was,doesn't and won't change the fact that I love you and always will.

Was I surprised? Yes I was. I looked at his face and he was smiling.

Hillary: The way I feel about you,no amount of what you went through will change that fact. And I promise,I'll make your life perfect that you'll never remember that you once had a bitter past. I promise.(he placed his hand on his chest as he said I promise)

I couldn't control myself as I hugged him lovingly.

Me: Thank you.

He pulled away from me and held my hands.

Hillary: Look how you ruined your beautiful face.

I smiled and he handed me his handkerchief,leading me to a mirror and asking me to recompose my face. After I was done,with most of the make ups gone,we went back to the couch...........





Good morning everyone. Hope we had a pleasant night rest.

Hillary: So its my turn now.

Me: Yes. I want to hear everything about you.

He laughed and cleared his throat.

Hillary: I'm from a family of three; my mum,dad and myself. My parents are from Udi local government of this Enugu whereas am a citizen of California. I came back six years ago cause I was missing my family and wanted to be close to them. So now,I'm here. Sorry,I forgot to mention that we live at new GRA but I live at Ogui road,where daddy built a house.

Me: Oh!

Hillary: Yup.

Me: You haven't explained your parent's occupation.

Hillary: Sorry dear. My dad is a medical doctor,heard of pax pharmacy?

Me: Of course. Heard its in so many states.

Hillary: My dad owns it. My mum is a representative in the house of assembly.

Me: Wow! Explains why you own such an expensive ride.

Hillary: See why I don't like mentioning it?

Me: But its true.

We both smiled.

Me: So tell me about the Mr handsome stuff.

Hillary: You'll see the video later. Won it last semester after my exams. I didn't contest. Just that my friend gave my name to the master of ceremony and I was called out. God blessed me in a way that I always stand out and just like that,I won.

Me: And you're enjoying all the benefits alone?

Hillary: It was just the car that I took,a Toyota Camry. Its still parked in my house.

Me: And Miss beautiful?

Hillary laughed in a way that got me smiling. He looked into my eyes and held my hands.

Hillary: You're my Miss beautiful.

Me: No. I meant ESUT chapter nau.

Hillary: I know. The girl doesn't suit my standard and she didn't win by merit. I've found my own Miss and that's you.

I became shy all of a sudden. Why did I even ask him about her. I've heard about the girl,how she slept with almost all the judges just to win the contest. There's had being this semester so I witnessed the show. She didn't deserve it.

I looked at my wristwatch and it was four minutes past eleven.

Me: We should go now. Its late.

He looked at his own watch and gasped.

Hillary: I wasn't even looking at the time. Come,I'll drop you. I'll spend the night here.

We walked downstairs and into the cold night. I clutched my purse very firmly as I used my free hand to give warmth to my arm.
When we got into the car,he didn't turn on the air condition.

Hillary: This gown of yours is too sexy for the cold.

I smiled at kicked his shoulder before he started the ignition and we drove away,talking about the night and me,thanking him for a wonderful date.
We got to my house and he blew his horn.

Hillary: Do I drive inside?

Me: Don't stress your sweet self. You've done enough.

I drew in to him and he pecked my cheeks before coming down to open the door for me.

Me: Thanks for tonight.

Hillary: Its nothing bae. I'll do more for you.

This time,I gave him the peck on his lips and walked into the compound through the small gate which was opened by the gateman.

I had almost walked past Gospel's house when he came out and called my name. I turned to him with a smile but he was fuming with rage and I think I know why.

Re: Alone.. by PamelB(f): 10:36am On Aug 11, 2016
He approached me with mean steps and I tried my best to muffle my laugh.


Gospel: Who's he?

Me: Who?

Gospel: The boy you went out with. The same one you just kissed.

Me: That means you were spying on us?

Gospel: Answer me right now. Who's he?
His tone was now high and obviously angry. I grinned at the thought of him being jealous.

Me: Okay. No need for you to be angry okay? I'll tell you. You see,when he came to pick me up this evening,he was just a friend from school,but after a wonderful night,I'm proud to say that he's my boyfriend.

Like lightening,he pushed towards me and held my arm and I winced in pain.

Me: Leave me alone Gospel.

Gospel: Is that how shameless you've become? You left this house with your face heavily made up and look how you came back. You even have the guts to kiss him when you know my window overlooks the gate. To spite me right?

Me: You're just being jealous that someone else is doing what you couldn't do. Leave my arm.

He left my arm and stepped back.

Gospel: Amanda what happened to you? Why are you doing this?

Me: What happened to me? You think I'll sit down in this house,mourning my heart because you broke up with me? Sorry to disappoint you because I've moved on. You did that as well so let me be. That's why you refused to acknowledge our greeting before we left. My life is no longer your business so quit acting like you're my boyfriend and let me be.

He gasped at my words and I felt his eyes tear up.

Gospel: But you know I loved you and always will?

Me: I believed that as well. But your love is selfish. Your love is self centered. You're no worse than those loafers that took advantage of me. You moved on before you even broke up with me and if Kamsi and I hadn't caught you in the act,I would have being dwelling in sorrow of why you are avoiding me. I wouldn't have met Hillary and I wouldn't be this happy. The earlier you stop monitoring me,the better for you.

I walked out on him,happy with myself for not breaking down in front of him. I've moved on and I can't wait to share my dinner experience with Kamsi and mum.

The next morning,I took Kamsi to mum who was dressing to go to her boutique. I told them word by word about what had transpired at Golden Royale including the proposed visit to a counselor. They were both happy for me and mum apologised for not thinking about taking me to a counselor all these while.

We were talking about when to invite him over for dinner when Gospel stormed into the room.

Gospel: He's not coming to this house.

Kamsi and I stood up to face him,ready for an attack but surprisingly,mum was calm.

Mum: Why?

Gospel: Cause he's not good for her. I know his likes. This university cheap boys who'll do anything to get a beautiful girl on his bed including coming to her place with borrowed cars and suits.

Kamsi: But he won't include sleeping with different girls before breaking up with her.

Mum: Kamsi!

Gospel closed his eyes and swallowed hard. He opened them again and gave Kamsi a very mean stare.

Kamsi: I'm sorry mum.

Mum turned back to Gospel.

Mum: If he's not good for her,who then is good for her? Will you be the one to choose a spouse for her?

Gospel: Bu.....but mum,I saw that boy,the look......

Mum: You've being standing there,eavesdropping on us and its wrong.

Gospel: I was also coming to tell you about him when I heard you all discussing the same thing. But I'm sorry. And I still maintain the fact that he's not good for her.

Mum: Amanda will say who is good for her and who's not. You don't have a right to decide for her. She's matured enough now so please,I'll advice you to stop meddling.

There was a look of surprise on his face.

Gospel: I'm I now meddling?

Mum: If you don't mind,I beg to leave now. Kamsi,make sure to lock my room after you people are done.

She picked up her hand bag,looked at herself in the mirror and stepped out of the room. Gospel sized Kamsi and myself and also left.

Kamsi: He's now making me to dislike him the more.

Me: Please don't. He also approached me last night immediately I came into the house.

Kamsi: He did?

I told her what had happened between Gospel and I. She didn't find it funny.

Kamsi: Why didn't you tell mum?

Me: Let's just forget it. Are the girls done with making breakfast?

Kamsi: Let's go and check. It's past seven already.

We went downstairs and the table was already made for breakfast. We sat down and helped ourselves to the meal.
Ken came in just when we were almost done. We greeted him and he sat down to join us.

Ken: Where's is big bro?

Kamsi scoffed and continued with her meal. Ken looked at me for answers but I shrugged my shoulders.

Ken: Kammy I wonder when this bad blood between you two will stop.

Kamsi: Of course I was thinking about it before now. But after what he did last night and this morning,I don't think it'll ever stop.

Ken: What's the problem again?

Kamsi told him about Hillary and Gospel's view on it.

Ken: He's just jealous. It's normal for him to feel that way.

Kamsi: Does he now expect Amy not to move on when he's busy having the fun of his life?

Ken: Okay. I'll talk to him later. For now,let me talk to Amanda.

I raised my head up and looked at him.

Ken: Are you comfortable with that guy?

Me: Yes

Ken: And you're not with him to get back at Gospel?

Kamsi: Even if......

Ken: Kamsi I'm not talking to you. Amanda?

Me: Gospel didn't even come to my mind the moment i agreed to be with him. He's just understanding and calm and I like him a lot.

Ken: You know you shouldn't take decisions like this in a hurry,just be careful till you're sure of his intentions. Let's not get too excited for now okay?

Me: Thanks Ken.

Ken: Its nothing. Now you two should allow me to eat. I'm late for the office.

The exams were over and I was grateful. Kamsi and I invited Rose and Hillary to the house for lunch and dinner on Sunday and they had agreed to come.

The next day being Friday,Hillary called,asking for permission to come pick me so we could eat out. I dressed up and didn't wait for long before his honk came and I stepped out to meet him. We drove to an eatery where we ate quietly. We finished without discussing anything and he drove to shoprite.

Me: What do you wanna buy?

Hillary: Anything. I just want to spend this afternoon with you.

We shared a quick kiss before alighting from the car.
He asked me to pick anything I wanted. I had always fantasized about finishing a full bucket of ice cream so it was the only thing I picked. He wasn't satisfied with that so he started picking boxes of sweets,chocolates,biscuits and drinks.

The ride back home was interesting as I had my bucket of ice cream and was spooning good quantities into my mouth and that of Hillary. I texted Kamsi,telling her that we were coming back and she said she was going to wait for us at the car park.

Hillary drove into the house and while he made for the bags,I just stepped out with my bucket of ice cream which hasn't gone down a bit.

Kamsi welcomed us and took the bags inside including my bucket of ice cream.

Me: So you ain't coming in?

Hillary: Not today. I have somewhere to be by 5:30 and look,its almost 5:00.

He fixed his gaze behind me and I followed to see Gospel walking towards us. My face flushed as I wondered why he was at home.

Hillary: Good day.

Gospel: Save your greetings. Who are you and what are you doing here?

Hillary looked stunned. He looked at me and I couldn't say anything.

Hillary: I'm Hillary,a.....

Gospel: What are you doing here?

I had to come in now. He won't embarrass my boyfriend. I won't let him.

Me: Gospel you're embarrassing my boyfriend and I don't like it.

Gospel: Did you say that to my face?

Me: You heard right. It's.....

Hillary: Baby!

I turned to him and he asked me to come. I went closer and he hugged me.

Hillary: Don't argue. I'll be here on Sunday. I won't allow you to get into a fight with your brother.

Me: But....

Hillary: Sshhh.

He kissed me not minding Gospel's presence. He entered his car and drove off.

Gospel: How shameless. Better tell him not to step into this house on Sunday because I'll break his bones.

Me: You'll do no such thing. You won't dare.

Gospel: Don't push your lucks. You can't just bring in anybody to this house. Its not done.

I scoffed and walked closer to him.

Me: You just feel threatened by him. He's a lot better than you so quit trying to make a mountain out of an ant hill.

Gospel: I can never feel threatened by him. If you want to do anything to spite me,look for already made men,men who'll treat you right,not some university boy who goes round in borrowed cars.

Me: Made men indeed. Made men like you? God forbid. Its better I follow this university boy around than a made man who can't control his libido,a made man who doesn't care about the feelings of those he hurts. You don't know Hillary Thompson but I promise you,he's already a made man,not some fake guy who is wallowing under his father's treasures.

He raised his hand to hit me and I ducked. He didn't stop. He held my arm and pulled hard,causing me to cry out in pain.

Gospel: Not a word against me next time you cheap.....

Kamsi: Cheap what?

Gospel left me immediately and stepped back.

Kamsi: You're just disgustingly jealous. I regret that you're my brother.

She held my hand and we walked into the house,leaving Gospel behind.
We got to the kitchen and she brought out a pack of ice and placed it on my arm.

Kamsi: Sorry okay?

Me: Is that how he is?

Kamsi: Sometimes,especially if he's angry. But what happened?

I told her everything and she just smiled.

Kamsi: Just let it be. We'll report to mum once she's back.

Me: No please. Let it be.

Kamsi: That's what you always say. I'll let it go this time but when next he touches you,I'll tell mum.

Me; Better.
