Happy Sunday y'all. How's it going? A blessed week I pray.


The two guys smiled romantically and I adjusted myself on the single sofa.

Leonard: Flord and ourselves attended same nursery and primary school in Lagos. After primary school, William was to travel abroad to further his education. I got wind of it and had to plead with my parents to let me go with him. So, because of the relationship between the two families, I was able to join Liam(William). After high school, our parents asked us to return and finish up here so we went to uniuyo and finally, we're here.

Claire: Wow.

Me: Exactly. So you two have been stuck to each other for years?

Leonard: Yep. Secondly, you know naija nau, our being together now is based on connections.

Me: Glad you are honest.

We took time to talk about ourselves and our families so by the time they were about leaving, it was past 2:00.

William: Can we all go out tonight?

I looked at my roommate and she nodded with a smile.

Me: Of course. Where to?

William: Just get ready and we'll come for you two at 7.

Me: Alright.

We exchanged hugs and they left.

Claire: This boys are hot. I can't believe it took you this long to realise that you've got such sexy guys next door.

Me: Hey. You've got a boyfriend o. Better keep your camel toe in check.

She attacked me immediately and we started a play fight which finally got interrupted by the ringing of my phone.

Claire: Hot line.

Me: Duh!

I stood up from where I had fallen and went to get my phone from the table. Flord.

I hissed and dropped the phone.

Me: Flord will not just stop bugging my life. Do you know what he was asking me?

Claire: Do tell.

Me: To take back Franca. Where on earth is it done?

Claire: But wait o. Is he Franca's boyfriend or they're just bed mates?

Me: You don't even get it. Charles is Franca's boyfriend and Flord is Charles's best friend. Flord and Franca are now bleeping themselves behind Charles.

Claire gave a long laugh and stood up. She went into the kitchen and came out with a glass of milk.

Claire: I'll tell you what? Stop bothering your sweet head. Stuffs like this happen all the time. Just leave them to do their thing.

I looked at her without knowing what else to say. She was right after all. It was none of my business. They should do their thing while I concentrate on my own thing.

Claire: I just hope you won't discourage me on my attempt to be Leonard's babe. I won't take that from you.

Me: You just taught me something. My life should be my only business. Do your thing.

Claire: Excellent.

Me: Just be careful.

Claire: I will.

She got a call and I excused myself, not before hearing the caller's name which rang out; "Eddy calling".

I murmured the word " cheater" before disappearing into my room

Tgold1:
You know where to get it dear.... Come to my lodge, Ama give you Tripple........ -_-

lmao. shey u know you're crazy fa? abeg cut it and do the waybill stuff. I'll drop the direction of my house

Tgold1:
PamelB of the TEAM HERO oya I wan suprise you.........

If you Wanna Do Ritual tell Me, I'll Volunteer My Balls free of Charge for you to do am,,,,,,,,,,

You are too good!!!

how do I get them abeg? *winks*

They settled down and started discussing while I stared in shock.

Flord: Willie Willie. Kai. See you Leo. See as una two come fine like this o. Abeg bless me, bless me small.

He prostrated before them and they both slapped his butt. They laughed out loud and he stood up.

Flord: Chai. So una dey this Enugu so?

William: Yea. Since last year.

Flord: See English. Mehn!

William: You won't change, I swear to God.

Leonard: If he tries it eh, I'll kill him. Flord won't change.

Flord: Yankee just blessed una o.


I was still in shock of the fact that they knew this back stabbing f'uckaholic, I became dumbfounded when I heard Yankee.

It was Claire's announcement that breakfast was served that brought me back to my apartment.
I followed her to the kitchen while the boys settled in the dinning. The dinning only had four chairs so Claire and I served them and took our own food to the sitting room. It was my gentle nature that made me allow Flord to eat in my house, at least, not to embarrass him in front of his friends.

Claire: So you both are cool now?

Me: Never.

Claire: It's alright. Let's just eat and allow them have their fun.

I nodded and we ate silently, concentrating on a new episode of jara that was being shown on Africa magic.

The guys finished with their meal and before we knew it, they were doing the dishes. Claire and I rushed in to take over from them but they won't have it. We let them be and went back to the sitting room after which they joined us in a few minutes.

Leonard: Thanks girls. You two are wonderful.

William: Look what we've being missing all these while. Thank you girls.

Claire: You're welcome. Hope you enjoyed it.

William: You bet I did.

Leonard: Same here.

I chuckled and said nothing. Looks like it gave them my attention because William turned to me immediately.

William: Aha. Tell me how you met this criminal. Of all the places, my guy chose to run into me in a girl's apartment.

Leonard: He'll die digging a woman. He'll never leave women. Not with that huge thing between his legs.

Claire was laughing but I was not. They were joking but all of it was just the truth. I excused myself and went into my room. I had not spoken with Tobe that morning so I flashed him. He's the best person to take me out of my mood now.
He called back immediately;

Tobe: Hello Queency.

Me: Yes my love. How're you?

Tobe: I'm fine. Just lonely and in need of you.

Me: I need you as much as you need me honey. How's the weather over there?

Tobe: We're used to its harshness so it's cool. How's school?

Me: Boring without you.

Tobe: No. No don't say that. You know I'll be graduating soon so you've got to get used to me not been there.

I smacked my lips and pretended like I didn't hear him.

Me: How's your sister and the baby?

Tobe: They're both fine. You won't ask after the husband?

Me: I.....

Claire barged in immediately.

Claire: Hey! You left some people.....
Oops. Sorry.

Tobe: Who's that?

Me: It's Claire, my new roommate. The one I told you about.

Tobe: Okay.....

Claire: Is that our boyfriend? Give me phone joor.

She snatched the phone from me and started giving Tobe a long list of what to get us while returning. When she was done, she handed the phone back to me and left.

Tobe: You know that's the kinda girl I like, she knows what she wants. I'm glad she's there now to show you how to spend my money.

Me: And when I start, don't complain that I'm being too materialistic.

Tobe: Is it not my money?

There was a shuffle at the other end before he spoke up again.

Tobe: I'll call you back later babe. I need to attend to something right away.

Me: Alright. Take care okay?

Tobe: You too. And don't forget that I love you.

Me: Same here.

We hung up and I left my room with smiles on my face.

Leonard: The princess is back. You kept us waiting

Me: Sorry guys, I....

William: Boyfriend. We know.

I eyed Claire who was sitting beside Leonard and pressing his phone, then I noticed that Flord has gone.

Me: So I heard Yankee. You guys should do a better intro joor.

The next day was a Saturday. After Claire and I had cleaned up the house, we went down to wash our cars. We were doing our business amidst laughter and gossips when these two cute neighbours of mine decided to come down and join us.

"Morning!" Claire and myself greeted.

They responded and sat their behinds down on the pavement which was inbuilt in the garage.

Leonard: We heard your beautiful chattering so we decided to come and join you girls.

He said with a smile while William nodded.

Claire: That's very nice of you two.

Leonard: We're nice guys, naturally.

Me: You can't be the judge of that y'know.

William: So says a neighbour who has stayed here for months without knowing the people who lives next door.

Claire and Leonard laughed while I rolled my eyes.

Claire: But seriously, you guys don't have to blame the girl. She's always like that.

Me: Are you supporting them now? We should be a team you silly toddler.

She spanked my behind and we all laughed. The conversation flowed so freely and we ended up inviting them for breakfast which will be ready in an hour. I'll use William's words.

"advantages of having a girl in the compound. I can't wait to eat better home made food."

We joked and dispersed to our apartments and immediately, Claire and I got to work. While I made spaghetti with some frozen chicken parts, Claire made boiled yam and egg sauce. It was all her suggestions because she wanted to impress Leonard who she was already having the hots for. I had laughed it off, reminding her of the so called boyfriend she said she had.

We took our baths and were making the table when the knock came. Claire had rushed to get the door only to call my name immediately. It was Flord.

Me: Okay now. What do you want here?

Flord: Are you still angry with me?

Me: State your business and get out of my house.

Claire: Hey babe. Easy. Not my business though but you're being harsh.

Me: Claire, this is Flord, the guy who was screwing Franca despite being the best friend of her boyfriend.

Claire: Oh!

Me: Exactly.

Claire: I'll excuse you two then.

As soon as she left, Flord held my hands.

Flord: Look, I'm sorry about the impression you have about me. I've always liked you but Franca is.....

Me: Save your explanations. The likes of you are never to be trusted. If you've got nothing else to say, get out. I'm expecting some people.

Flord: I....I'm sorry. I just wanted to apologise and plead with you to reconsider taking Franca in. She's being putting up with Charles since you two had issues and now, their own relationship is at the verge of splitting. You...

Me: It can split for all I care. You want her back here so you can keep getting the privilege of bleeping her in my house, all the while, deceiving Charles into thinking that he has a faithful girlfriend. It should split for all I care. Now, you may leave.

Flord: Pamela....

Me: Get out. I....

I was interrupted by a knock and I knew my guests have finally arrived.

Me: I'll open this door now. Make sure you leave.

I opened the door and met with two cute faces. I smiled and ushered them in. They stopped immediately they saw Flord and next thing, they were shaking hands and hailing each other with some funny nicknames.

Tgold1:
Make claire own no go pass franca own oooo......

Wait o pamelB, 2 Bobo dey enter your eYe!!!
Which mean say, me I don commot for your eye be that........ OK ooo

lols

I briefly told her what transpired between Franca and myself.

Claire: Ahn ahn. See as you people just spoilt your friendship because of a guy. I just hope he's worth it.

Me: Tobe is a nice guy.

Claire: Every girl must refer to her boyfriend as nice nau.

I frowned at her but she didn't even seem to notice.

Me: You that's talking, is your own boyfriend nice?

Claire: I won't vouch for him alright? We're just starting so I don't know him too well yet. He's even a student of your school sef. Final year, chemical engineering.

Me: Wow. Nice. So what's his name?

Claire: Edward.

Me: Oh! Anyways, where do you stay in Enugu?

Claire: My aunt's place. Mum insisted I must live with her. I drive to school from her place and it's really giving me trouble.

Me: Where's that?

Claire: Abakpa o.

Me: Hmmm. Mums eh. They won't just allow you flex your life even when your own youthful age is still wearing pant.

We both laughed.

Me: For me, once I get back, I'll start looking for a roommate. I can't stay in that flat alone.

Claire: How many rooms?

Me: Two. But it has a sit out and a big sitting room.

Claire: Wow. This boyfriend of yours. I think I'll just move in to your place then. It's better than coming from abakpa.

Me: For real? Won't your mum....

Claire: I'll tell her. But just know I'm moving in with you.

Me: Alright. I'll be going back in three days shaa.

Claire: Cool. I'll go with you. My car is in my aunt's place. We'll shop tomorrow then.

Me: Alright.

We spent the rest of the day gisting (gossiping) about our classmates. I also called Lois, Cynthia and Vanessa and they all spoke with Claire.

That was how I got a new roomie and a plus one gossip mate. School will be fun this semester, 200 level all the way.



*******************************

Two weeks after resumption and we five were together in the garage of my apartment. The power had gone off while we were eating so we quickly rounded up and went downstairs to get fresh air (Cynthia's choice actually).

A push at the gate and two cute guys walked in. I've not seen them before and I wondered who they were looking for. Secondly, since I packed in, I only minded my room, I didn't even know who my neighbours were. I was about going to meet them when they started walking towards our direction.

Vanessa: See fine boys o.

It was a whisper but we heard right so we all laughed to her open admiration.

The guys walked up to us and we had to struggle to put ourselves together.

It was one of the boys who spoke up. He was tall, dark, broad chest laced with muscled arms, his very flat stomach was obvious and he was putting on a white short and body hugged black top.

William: Hi girls.

Wow! His smile was perfect. He even has a gap teeth and a dimple on his right cheek.

While we took turns to return his greetings, I decided to check out the other guy and yes, I caught him staring at me. He smiled and looked away. He was not different from his friend, except that he was putting on a suit and his complexion was a little bit lighter than that of his friend.

William: I'm William and this is my friend, Leonard.

We all shook hands and we told them our names.

Leonard: Pamela, its really nice to see you outside today. You've not done that since you packed in.

Me: Oh! Oh my God! You both are the copers that live here?

And did I mention that Leonard has a very deep baritone voice? I think I just did. But I didn't drool on that because I had an answer to give.

Leonard: Yes we are.

Me: Wow. Its nice meeting you.

We shook hands again and i introduced them to Claire, emphasizing that she's my roommate.

We chatted for a while before they left for their apartment.

Vanessa: Mehn! Some guys are just so cute for my liking.

Lois: Can't you see how speechless I am? You won't even be able to pick the best among the two. They fine joor.

Claire: And did you notice their good command of English? This guys are over hot.

Me: I'm already planning on a house barbeque so we can get to stare at them longer than this one.

Vanessa: You and Claire no suppose to dey follow us talk o because una two don get bobo already.

We laughed again, throwing our heads back as the laughter flowed.

Cynthia: I just dey look all of you. How many una dey sef?

She counted us and added the two guys.

Cynthia: Ehe. This one no go be party again. It'll be sixsome.

My stomach almost blew open with laughter. As I didn't die that day, I no fit die any other day.
We spent the rest of the evening outside. Truth be told, it was Tobe's call that took us upstairs. He'll be back in a fortnight(travelled to Canada to see his sister that gave birth). He took time to speak with the girls before we bade each other good night.
The girls left and Claire started cooking noodles which we'll have for dinner.

The three weeks I spent at home was really worth it cause I had fun, hanging out with childhood friends and my parents, attending different functions and getting to meet new neighbours that packed into the estate.

Two days after I came home, Franca's parents had visited. I wanted to excuse myself but her mum asked that I stay since it was all about me. They said Franca had refused to come home and they have no choice but to believe that she's guilty. Surprisingly, her father apologised to us, pleading that we do not ruin a relationship of 21 years just because we got admission into the university. We had all hugged each other and had lunch together while they advised me to avoid getting into trouble with Franca once I get back to school.

The rest of my stay at Onitsha was a very pleasant one. My dad even stayed around through out. Three days before I was to return to Enugu, I decided to visit a friend that lives in GRA (akpaka). She was my classmate in secondary school so we still kept in touch through our group chat, both on Facebook and WhatsApp.

I got there around some minutes past twelve and drove in. She was already waiting for me at the garden when I got there so after a long hug, admiring and laughter, we went inside.

Me: Nice
I said immediately we got in. Her father was late and her mother owned a clothing line which had it's main branch at Abuja. Claire was always alone each time she came back from school (IMT.....got to know all these from the gossiping girls we had in the group shaa).

And we became close because during our wassce days, we were each others' back bone. While she helped me in mathematics and government, I helped her in Igbo language, Economics and Agricultural science. We had bonded immediately.

Claire: Sit down joor. I'm sure your own house is heaven on earth.

We settled to a cushion and started the conversation proper.

Claire: What do I offer you? Don't say nothing cause I won't take that.

Me: Hia. I took something before coming here.

Claire: And I'm guessing it's breakfast. So tell me what to offer you

I heaved a sigh and shook my head.

Me: I'll be spending some hours here. So before I leave, I'll definitely take something.

Claire: Alright. So tell me, this one you decided to visit after how many years?

Me: Ah! Ibiakwa (you've come now). At least we chat nau. It's just that we haven't seen since then but we chat.

Claire: Gini bu chat? (what is chat?)

I smacked my lips and apologised, not wanting to prolong the matter.

Claire: If I had not suggested we meet up, would you have come? All you small small girls with rich fathers.

Me: Thankfully, I'm not a small girl

Claire: You wish o.

Me: See her head.

Claire is a damsel. Beauty gets intimidated by her. She's chocolate in complexion, with this oval face that gives her an angelic look, she is tall, with straight legs, but she lacked the boobs and behind thing. But she's very very beautiful.

Claire: So tell me about school. To think we're both in Enugu and never thought of seeing each other.

Me: You just told me your school last month nau. Stop whining joor.

Claire: Oya start talking. How many boyfriends? Do you stay alone? How do....

Me: One at a time joor. You want to kill me with questions?

Claire: Sorry but start talking.

Me: I only have one boyfriend. I live alone. I used to live with Franca but she messed up so I had to send her packing.

Claire: Is it the Franca I know? Your bestie?

I nodded.

Claire: Ah! What happened?

bibijay123:
Happy belated birthday sweetie you are doing a good job here! God bless u for it.

tanx my madam.

OluwabuqqyYOLO:
Dear Fiyah, Emperorlee, Yuneehk, olanshile2016, Frozenfirenaija, Alienstar, Dahprech, Helenbee, Lanicky, PamelB, Thablessedman, Lenubs, Oyinprince, Lative, colgaddafi, ojuolu, Ritababe, Ministerblessed, Detoni, Stuff46, and everyone who feels like reading, you're welcome.

thank you

There was silence in the room. Tobe left early that morning so I had called my friends and told them what had happened the previous night. Now, we were in my room and I'm dreading this silence. They should at least say something before.......

Lois: It's all your fault Pamela. It's all your fault.

Me: But how? I mean, I didn't push him to get drunk or.....

Lois: Stop being childish. Why is Franca still here? Everything I told you, instead of you to take actions immediately, you resorted to using your tongue which so far, ended up making things worse. If you had done something about this, Franca won't have tried doing what she did last night.

Me: What would I have done?

Cynthia: Send her packing

Lois: Exactly. You have a thousand and one reason to send her out of your house for good.

I bent my head as their words kept on repeating itself in my head.

Vanessa: Babe, in this life, you can't trust anybody. We understand that it's difficult for you because she's a childhood friend but look around you, think back of the pains she's brought you this past weeks. The choice is yours. Just do the right thing.

I heaved a sigh and gave them a smile. I know what to do now. Last night, it was a mere threat but this morning, I'm going to see to it that she leaves my house. I excused myself and went out, stopping in front of Franca's room. I knocked and opened the door without waiting for a response. She was applying make up on her face. She looked at me with a smile and said a greeting.

Me: Let's do this thing without much drama.

She watched me walk inside fully and she stood up.

Franca: What thing?

Me: Leaving my house. Just pick what's yours and get out, now.

The smile on her face quickly disappeared.

Franca: You're not serious, are you?

Me: I'm very serious. Hand me my keys first.

She looked around and pointed at the keys which were hanging on a nail.

Me: Thank you. So, start packing. I'm going to give you that honour and not throw you out. I've got some crazy girls in my room and they're just waiting for me to ask them and they'll embarrass you to the fullest. So, hurry up.

She didn't say a word. She started doing the packing and I left for the sitting room. Goodness knows that I'll give anything to have my best friend back. I'll give anything to turn back the hands of time and have that Franca who acted like my elder sister. Now, I regretted being an only child. I clutched my head in my hands and let my tears fall. Minutes later, she came out with her boxes and stood in front of me.

Franca: I'm leaving but get one thing straight......

Me: Get out. Out now.

I was shouting, the best way to shut her up so I wouldn't listen to any rubbish that she would say.

Me: Get out of here. Cheat, I don't ever want to see you around this apartment. Just get out.

She was surprised at my outburst and my friends came out from the room to see what's happening.
Franca struggled with her boxes before she decided to carry them out one at a time. We watched her carry the last one before Cynthia closed my door.

Cynthia: Good riddance

Lois/Vanessa: To bad rubbish.

I sat down again but this time, I didn't cry. I knew I had war coming to me very soon. The new Franca would do anything that would hurt me so I had to get myself ready.



*****************************

We were through with exams and I was also done learning how to drive. I decided to travel home and see my parents.
I drove down to housing estate Onitsha where my dad built his house. I honked and the gateman opened the gate. I drove into the familiar compound and packed at an empty space. My mum's personal assistant came out immediately and walked towards me.

Happiness: Good afternoon Pamela. How's school?

Me: School was as it should be.

She helped me carry my bag inside while I locked the car and waved at the gateman who kept staring at me like I was a ghost. I got into the largely furnished sitting room and sat down. It was obvious mum and dad weren't around. A lot had changed in this house because the furnishings looked different. I carried myself upstairs and went to my room. I undressed and started work immediately, dusting and changing the bed spread.

I was done and about coming downstairs when I heard the gate open. I knew immediately that it was my parents because aunty Happiness had told me they went out together.

I opened the door for them and we went into long hugs before they remembered to come in.

Dad: You look lean and bony. Do you eat at all in school?

Me: Of course I do dad. Why....

Mum: Like you don't know young girls of today, they love to starve themselves a in the name of getting the shape of a model.

Me: Mummy. I don't even have that in my plans. Model for who kwanu?

Dad: Ehe! So you now have a car? We saw it outside. You drove yourself?

Me: Yes daddy.

Dad: This your boyfriend, what does he do to be able to get you such an expensive car?

I dare not tell them it was a gift from his future in-laws.

Me: Uhm. He's still a student actually but....

Dad: Chikaima. A student bought you such an expensive car?

Mum: You didn't let her finish honey. He's the son of their vice chancellor.

Dad: Hmmm. I don't understand the both of you. We wanted to give you a car on your birthday but now that you have one,....

Me: Noo. Daddy you'll get me the car o. Besides, this one is not from you.

We argued playfully for a while before I calmly explained to them the issues I was having with Franca. That was the kind of relationship I had with my parents. Being the only child, I hid nothing from them because I had no sibling to talk to. They in turn, provided me with a lot of advise which kept me going. I wasn't raised to show off or be proud because as at the time I was born, we were poor. It was destiny who changed our story. We lived among the rich but we also love to mingle with the lower class because according to my father, we don't always know the hand that is writing our destiny.

Tgold1:
I no hate you dear..... Na the luv reach that level!!!

I af suffer.

charytea:
Pamel is sensible o, she still defended her man despite the fact that she had nt heard his own side of the story. That's a great lesson for every woman. That franca na wetin dey do her nah.... why go this far? PamelB i love ur story!

tanx

Tgold1:
Pamel d Bomb.... I think I owe you one bag of rice whenever the price falls to #2,500 only..... Thanks for being wonderful

so you hate me this much ehn?

I quickly rushed out of my room to meet the two of them in a serious fight. Franca had hit him or so and he ended up puking on her. If it was on a normal day, I would have laughed my intestines out but not today. He saw me and quickly ran to my room and I followed suit. He took time to wash up while I sat on the bed, waiting and expecting answers to my questions.
He finally came out and sat down beside me. I couldn't look at him. He suddenly became too disgusting for me to look at.

Tobe: Queen....

Me: Don't call me that. You lost the right to do so. I mean, how could you be....

A knock on my door interrupted me and I stood up quickly. I knew it was for her to laugh at me so I braced myself for whatever she's got.

Me: What do you want?

She was tying a towel and smiling sheepishly. She held Tobe's clothes in her hands.

Franca: Just came to return this clothes and to also thank Tobe for such a wonderful time. I enjoyed every bit of what he gave me.

I took the clothes from her without a word.

Franca: And again, you really should hold him tight to avoid such trips to my room ever again.

Me: The advice is not necessary because you'll be leaving here before seven. And, you should be ashamed that you took advantage of his drunkenness to achieve your evil goals. No man in his right senses would look at you twice.

My words seem to get to her so I continued.

Me: Because he didn't look at you with all your useless seductions, you decided to get him while he's drunk. How shameless. What did he do afterwards, he ran away from you right? Because you're so disgusting. You'll have only tonight's memory in your head forever. I promise you that.

I locked my door and went to Tobe, throwing his clothes at him.

Me: Dress up and get out.

He looked up at me and I saw tears in his eyes. He blinked and they came rushing down.

Tobe: Baby I'm sorry. I..

To my surprise, I joined him and we cried together, with me doing most of the sobbing.

Tobe: After I spoke with you, a friend of mine called to say that he bought a car, we all went to celebrate with him. I was drunk but I needed to see you, that's why I picked a rickshaw to bring me down here. I met her downstairs and she helped me up. Next thing I know, we were....

Me: Please don't say it. Please don't.

Tobe: I'm sorry. You know I can never hurt you. I love you so much that I'll rather die than hurt you. I'm so sorry baby. Forgive me please.

I went into his arms and cried myself to sleep.

Daisyben:
Nice one dear.....more grease to ur elbow



buh wait oh,dis franca na devil em self

tanx bae

Lawlahdey:
Pamel, you're amazing Babe..., i swear i'm glued to my phone
Thanks to bibijay for making it possible for me to read this amazing piece.. I saw it in your mention, you know?

tanx girl and welcome on board

My battery is very down so the update may be short.
I thank you all for your wonderful comments and likes. I appreciate.


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.

I ate and relaxed in my room, waiting for my boyfriend to come and give me good loving but he never came. I waited for an hour or so before I heard the door open. I was sure it was Franca so I just kept mute and slowly closed my eyes to sleep.

The screaming from the other room woke me up and I couldn't help but hiss. What a cheap thing. I'm sure it's not Charles who's making her scream that way. I looked at my table clock and it was past twelve. Tobe didn't show up neither did he call. I undressed and quickly went into the shower, the scream from the other room, aiding me to give myself some release while I thought about what Tobe and I would have being doing by this time.

I came out and picked my phone. I dialled his number but it was switched off. I couldn't get some sleep. No, not with all these grunts and screams. I left my room and went to the sitting room. I hadn't spent close to twenty minutes when I heard his voice. He was shouting at someone but what was he doing here at this time? Wait! Was that voice coming from Franca's room? I stood up to go and confirm my fears when the door burst open and they both came out in what looked like a struggle. Franca was na'ked while Tobe had just his boxer on. He was shouting and holding Franca so tight that it looked like her wrist would break.

I was so shocked that I couldn't say anything. They noticed my presence and Tobe quickly left her and ran to me. My eyes were stuck on Franca who had a smirk on her face.

No! This wasn't happening to me. No!
I ran into my room and locked my door but the tears didn't fall. I was still lost. He knocked continuously on my door but I refused to open up. I was still lost in my own world when I heard them arguing. They argued for a while before I heard a thug, followed by Franca's wail and then silence.
