ROSE

She walked in and looked around the exquisite bar. David saw her walked and waved to draw her attention. She was breathtakingly beautiful as she walked majestically towards him. He wished he could scoop her off and take her home.

"Hi!" he greeted drawing the seat for her.

she smiled with thanks and sat down as he walked around to his.

"Sorry, I got caught up in traffic." she apologized for being late.

"Its ok Just got here not long ago. How are you?"

After they exchanged pleasantries, the waiter came around and took their order.

"You look beautiful," he complimented with a smile.

"Thank you," she blushed. "You look good too but...." she trailed off avoiding his eyes.

"But?"

"You lost weight a bit."

"Did I? Guess work hasn't been friendly," he replied before they relapsed into silence looking at each other.


Their order was served, but they choose to keep staring at each other than take their drink. They'd been looking each other in the eye since the waiter left.

"Dav....Ros.," they called simultaneously and stopped immediately.

"Alright you first," David said with an expressionless countenance.

"No, you go first." Rose protested.

David cleared his throat and started. "For the past one week, no day has passed without me thinking of you. I know things are a bit confused now, but I want us to stop the silence already. Sorry, I never told you about Lydia, I was going to tell you about her that day before you met her."

"Who is she, David?"

"Her name is Lydia; my ex-girlfriend."

"Ex or you guys are still in the process of breaking up and holding on which one?"

"She left. Its actually a long story but the end of it all is that she left."

"Long story? We have all night."


"Wow that's a long one," she said as he ended his narration. "So I guess she realized her mistake and is coming back to what she left?"

"Seems like that but..."

"Do you still love her?" she asked cutting into his words looking him in the eyes.

"No I don't," he started reaching across the table to hold her hand. "I care about her, but my feelings for her is long gone. My feelings are hear, with this beautiful lady sitting opposite me." he looked into her eyes watching her blush looking away. She placed her hand over his and smiled.

"She seems ready to fight to have you back?" she said concerned.

"No one is fighting over me, I have told her explicitly that......." he stopped and looked into space.

"What? what did you tell her?"

"Sorry Rossy, I told her that you are my girlfriend."

She smiled and rubbed her hand over his, "it ok David. I understand."

They smiled into each other's face before sipping their drink and relaxing back.

"You should have told me that you had issues with your boyfriend and needed an escape till things returned to normalcy." David started. "I would have obliged you."

She laughed out loud covering her mouth with her hand. "David, you are funny."

"I am not, you should have told me that you are getting married, I would have watched my feelings." he continued.

"For real? who fed you all that?"

"Your fiance."

"David, there is nothing like that. Whatever he told you, its all lies?"

"Then let me hear the truth."

"It's a long story, David."

"We have the whole evening you remember?" he threw back her words at her.

"David, his name is Richard. He is my ex-fiance." she started. "We are supposed to be preparing for our wedding........"


"Rossie, I am so sorry." He said handing out his handkerchief to her. She'd teared up while telling her story.

She sniffed and smiled dapping her eyes. "It's ok; I'm fine." She said forcing another smile. "Can't believe it still hurt."

"Rose you didn't deserve that."

"Hey come on, don't look at me like that. I don't like the pity."

"I am not..."

"Yes, you are. That's pity I see written all over your face." She smiled and sipped from her glass cup again.

"Alright alright. So whats up with them; Nonye and Richard?"

"Don't know and don't want to know."

"He still loves you and wouldn't let go without a fight."

"Fight with who over who? not me."


They relapsed into silence sipping from their cups while he thought of the right way to ask her to be his. With the story she just told him, he wasn't sure if another relationship is what she wants. He wasn't sure she is healed from the hurt.

She kept looking at him. She was in love with him already. He reached her soul, but she wasn't so sure his feeling for his ex-has died. He wanted for him to ask her to be his but didn't want any ex drama. She would wait till he sought out his ex-issues.

"Rossie?" he called to have her attention, but she didn't give him the opportunity to make his proposal.

"David lets go home." she wanted him and wasn't ready to hear why he called.

"My house?" he asked surprised.

"No mine, we are going to mine," she concluded and stood up holding out her hand for him.




LYDIA

She'd been waiting and checking her time consistently. She was having doubts if David was going to come home. David wasn't one that sleeps out since she knew him. She didn't want to call and tell him that she was waiting as he may end up not coming back to avoid her.
As she waited, she kept fighting the thought that he was with Rose. The idea always left her heart tightening with anger. She didn't want to think about her. Whoever she was, she'd have to come through her before she could have him. Sighing, she stretched and looked at her time again. It was past 11 pm and yet no sign of David.
She was ready to wait till daybreak and the next and the rest of the weekend to see him.



ROSE

"Welcome to my humble abode," she smiled holding the door for him to walk in.

"Woow!" he mouthed looking around the sitting room. "It's beautiful," he said amazed.

"Thank you, David," she looked at him as he kept admiring the house.

"You stay here alone?" he asked turning to her.

"No," she started letting her handbag drop on the floor walking up to him. Getting her hand around his neck, she dragged him down and placed a passionate kiss on his lips. They savored the kiss for some good minutes before she broke it off. "I have a help. She must be in bed already," she concluded as they resumed kissing.

It was getting intense as he lifted and carried her to the triple sitter sofa. He tugged at her jacket while she went for his tire unknotting it with a single pull. Pulling off her jacket, he dragged down the white tube and cupped her boobs gentle while she tore at his shirt scattering his button. They were so engrossed that they didn't notice someone walking down the stairs.

She watched the two grown-ups tugging at each like teenagers.

"Rosemary?" she called putting an end to their little erotic show. she watched as they stopped abruptly before looking to her direction.

"The Bleep," she started pulling up her tube to cover her boobs while David stood up from her and scampered with his hard on searching for where she threw his shirt. "What are you doing here?" she asked visibly angry while adjusting her skirt.

The woman didn't say a word instead she kept looking at them.

"Mum?" she called frustrated.

"You said you were going to come around the house on Monday and this is Friday so I decided to come around instead."

"At least you should have called me."

"So that you can either not come back or give some excuse?"

David stood like a boy caught stealing a piece of meat watching the two women.

"I am not a small girl, and this is my house." she retorted frustrated.

He didn't understand why she would be talking to her mum like that, but whatever it is he didn't want to get involved. He tried to call, but she turned to him.

"David this is my mum," she turned to her mum "David, my friend."

"Your friend?" she asked.

"She could read every meaning in her question. "Yes, my friend," she replied rolling her eyes.

"Good evening ma," he greeted, but the woman didn't reply. she just nodded.

"I think I should get going ok."

"David, I am so sorry," she started walking to him. "I didn't expect this."

"It's ok, I get." He said forcing a smile through his nervousness.

"Let me drive you home." she offered turning to look for her key.

"No Rose. Its ok, I will find my way."

"Are you sure?" she asked looking at the time."It's midnight already."

He held her hand gently, "I will be fine ok." he reassured before heading for the door while she walked behind him.

"David, please be safe," she said behind him. He smiled and nodded heading to the gate while she locked the door and turned to her mother.

"You don't come to my house without informing me." she started walking towards her. "I pay the rent here," she said and ran up the stairs




DAVID

Luckily for him on coming out of from the estate, he saw a cabbie and hailed him. Though he charged a bit high, he was happy to have gotten one by that time of the night. Pulling out his phone to call Rose, he realized that his battery was dead already.

"Oga, please do you have an android car charger?" he asked the cabman.

"Ah no o, na Nokia torch I dey use." the man replied.

He will charge when he gets home hopefully and call her. He relaxed backing replaying the event of that evening in his head. He smiled to himself. How embarrassed he was trying to hide his hard-on while searching for his shirt. From the embarrassing moment to the feud going on between the mother and child. Whatever it was he would find out from Rose.

He was lost in thought not knowing until the cabman tapped him.

"Oga we don reach."

"Oh! Thank you." he pulled out his wallet and handed him some bills. The man made to look for balance, but he told him not to worry. He thanked him and drove off before he headed to his compound. He had a key just like every other tenant, so he just opened and entered. He was disappointed as it was obvious they had no light. He sighed walking towards his room. Getting, he could make out a figure sitting close to his door. He halt his step as fear crept into him. He'd never had an encounter with spirit and hope it wasn't going to start that time.

He walked slowly till he got close enough before he called out.

"He is there?" he asked.

He watched as the figure jerked and looked around.

"Who are you?" he repeated.

"David! is that you?" Lydia asked rubbing her eyes.

"Holy Bleep! Lydia, you scared the hell out of me. What are you doing here by this time of the night?" he walked closer to her.

She yawned tiredly. "I have been here since 4 pm," she replied.

"What is it? You should have called me Lydia or left when you didn't see me."

"Had the hope that you will come back."

He unlocked the door and ushered her in. "Make yourself comfortable let me get the bath for you," he said and headed to the get to boiling water for her to take her bath. She never liked cold water from the time they were dating.

She sat and dropped her bag on the foot of the bed. He is so sweet she thought. Nicholas never runs a hot bath for her even with the countless times she told him that she doesn't like bathing cold water. Once again he regretted ever leaving. She was still with her thought when he came out from the bathroom.

"You have not changed?" he asked jolting her.

"Ummm I will get changed now," she replied and headed towards the wardrobe.

He turned on his chargeable lantern to lit the room while She pulled and reached out to her part of the wardrobe from when the. She was surprised to find her towel neatly folded as it has always been. She pulled it and held it to her face. After all these while he kept it. She remember he bought her the towel and she cherished it. She turned, but he was already dozing on the bed. He must be very tired she thought. Wrapping herself in the towel, she headed to the bathroom.



ROSE

She tried unsuccessfully to get to him, but his number was switched off. She was restless and worried. How could his mobile suddenly be switched off? She sighed in frustration by throwing her phone on the bed. Her thoughts were running wide as she paced the length of her room. For a moment she forget that her mum was around.

What if something has happened to him? What if, what if..... After a while, she reached for her phone once again and dialed his number, but same got the same switched off response.

"The Bleep!" she cursed throwing herself on the bed.

"Are you ok Rose." her mum asked walking into the room.

"Mum please not now." she said sitting up on the bed.

"I just want to know if you are ok." she continued joining her on the bed.

"His number is not going through, I am worried." she threw her hand in resignation.

"Don't you have someone else to call to inquire about him?"

She nodded in negation as tears dropped from her eyes. "Don't know anybody to call."

"He will be fine. I believe he can take care of himself," she said reluctantly reaching out to hug. She didn't know if she'd oblige her, but a trial wouldn't be bad.

"I just have a bad feeling about this, I just ...." she slowly went into her mothers arms.

"Its ok," she consoled, "He will be fine."

she kept rocking her till she slept off on her should. Gently she laid her on the bed and tucked her in. She watched as she slept peacefully before turning off the light. She may not have been the best mother to her, but henceforth she was going to protect her.



DAVID

He turned and felt a body beside him. He moved again to confirm what he felt, and the same body was there. Opening his eyes, he yawned tiredly and stretched before sitting up from the bed. Everywhere was dark as he tried to recollect his senses. Reaching out, he turned on his lantern which was always beside the bed and looked at the lady beside him. Immediately his memories came back.

"Lydia" he sighed and stood from the bed. He must have slept off as he had his clothes on. He looked at her again clad in his big polo shirt. Typical Lydia, always had a choice with his clothes she preferred. He didn't remember if they discussed anything before he slept off but surely he was sending her away in the morning. Looking at the time, 4 am, he sighed and headed into the bathroom.

He had so much on his head as the water washed through him. From Rose, her mother, and Lydia. He didn't know what Lydia intends to achieve by all her actions, but he was going to make it clear to her that there can never be anything between them. She just needs to get it into her head and stay away from him; he didn't want anything coming between him and Rose.

Coming out of the bathroom, he reached for his phone and tried to power it on but couldn't. He knows Rose must have tried to call him. After unsuccessfully trying to boot his phone, he dropped it and made to go back to bed but noticed Lydia wasn't sleeping. He listened again and heard her sigh quietly; she was crying.

"Lydia? he called walking around to her side. "Are you ok?"

She tried to pretend that she was sleeping but it was futile.

"Lydia," he called again.

"David I am fine," she said through croaked voice."Go back to bed."

"No Lydia you are not fine. What is wrong with you? C'mon." he urged pulling her gently to sit up on the bed. "You have been crying?"

"No, I'm not," she replied looking away. "I'm fine."

"Yes, I can see that you are fine, if not I wouldn't be asking." David retorted sarcastically.

She looked at him. The king of sarcasm.

"Lydia," he started reaching to hold his hands. "You know whatever it is; you can talk to me yea?"

She looked at him regrettably, how could she have made such a terrible mistake leaving him. How? She thought.

"Yes I know," she nodded.

"Then tell me, whats beating you up?"

"David can we talk about this in the morning?"

"You sure?"

"Yes please, I know you are tired, so please let's talk in the morning. Go back to sleep."

"Alright then, we talk in the morning. I also have somethings to tell you."

"Good night David."

"Good morning Lydia," he replied as they both smiled and went back to sleep.



ROSE

She jumped down from the bed and checked her time; 6 am. Picking her phone, she rushed out and headed downstairs. She was going to his house to check on him.

"Good morning." Molly greeted as she met her downstairs.

"Molly, good morning. How are you?" she slowed down.

"I am fine ma. How was your night?" she replied.

"Why didn't you tell me that she was here?" she threw at her.

"Sorry, but she told me not to tell you."

"By the way, how did she get to know here? it's you right?"

She nodded looking down at her feet.

"Molly I don't have your time now, we will talk when I get back," she said hurriedly heading towards the door.

"Ma," she called conveying her message with her eyes.

She got the message clearly, "I am not staying out long." she said and rushed out. She was just on her purple transparent nightie with nothing under.



LYDIA

They had argued that morning on who to make breakfast. David never allowed her to make breakfast and wasn't going to. He'd won the argument by telling her that she was his visitor. She was going through her phone while waiting for him when the light was restored.

"Help me plug my phone," he called from the kitchen. Just like old times, she smiled.

"What am I getting for doing that?" she asked.

"A hot love....." he started but stopped. "You are getting nothing," he replied and smiled. Normally he would have said; a hot love making but that was in the past.

"I didn't hear you," she said. She actually heard him.

"Lydia stop and plug the phone already; I'm expecting an important call."

she disappointed plugged the phone and went back to the bed just as a knock came through the door.

"Get the door please."

She went to the door and behold the last person she wanted to see. They both stared at each other angrily.



ROSE

She couldn't believe it. He said they were over and there she was clad in his cloth. So he left yesterday and went to pick her. She should have known.

"Who is it." he asked coming out from the kitchen to behold the two ladies. His heart skipped as he walked towards them. Damn Rose was looking hot, but that was the least of his problem.

"Rose?" he called confused.

She looked at him for a moment before turning back.

"Rose please, it's not what you think," he said holding her back.

"Stay the hell away from me henceforth," she said coldly. He'd never seen such look in her eyes, and it scared him terribly as he slowly let go of her and watched as she walked away.

NONYE

"Richard? Two times in three days, am I safe?" Nonye asked letting him in.

He nodded and walked in settling on the sofa before she asked. She walked skeptically and sat opposite him looking him in the eyes.

"Richard! are you ok?" she asked uncomfortably

For an answer, he dipped his hand inside the breast pocket of his shirt and pulled out a check placing it on the table. He nodded towards it and urged her to take it. She picked it and looked at the figure before taking her eyes back to him.

"30 million. What is this for?"

"Nonye I want you to disappear, leave to where no one can ever find you," he replied coldly.

"Richard?" she called dumbfounded. "I..I.." she opened her mouth confused. She'd thought that after his last visit that things were beginning to fall into place or them.

"Nonye that is enough to start up life for you in any country of your choice. Take it and go."

She looked at him tears dripping down her eyes, she was heartbroken. She couldn't believe he'd resort to that.

"Richard, is this all I mean to you, after all these years, 30 million?"

"I will double it if it's not enough, just leave and never come back," he said walking around to hold her.

"Don't dare," she made to stand but missed a step and landed with her stomach on the floor before Richard could reach out to hold her. A moment of shock passed before she screamed out in pain and blanked out. With the speed of light, Richard reached out and carried her to a sitting position.

"Nonye! Nonye!!" he called stunned as he saw blood...........



DAVID

"I told you not ever come back here?" David barked stepping out to meet Lydia who stood in front of his room with tears in her eyes.

"David please, please just listen to me." she pleaded crying.

"Lydia we have nothing to talk about. Haven't you caused me enough pains yet? First, you left me and now something good I am trying to build you just destroyed it. Did I ever do you any wrong? All I have ever being is good to you Lydia."

"David please," she cried going on her knees, "Just listen to me, please."

"Lydia we have nothing to ever talk about. I want you to get out and never come back here," he said and made to go back inside when his phone rang. Pulling out his phone, he looked at the number and tapped on the receiver button.

"Hello?" he barked trying to get his anger under control.

"Hello!" A calm matured feminine came through. "Is this David?" she asked.

"Yes,"

"This is Rosemary's mother. Rose has been in an accident."

"What?" he shouted shocked. "How? When? Is she ok?

"Yes, she is fine, wasn't a terrible accident," she replied.

"Where is she now?" he asked rushing inside his room to dress up.

"Elevation Hospital."

"I am coming," he said ending the call.




RICHARD

"Sir stay back please," the nurse blocked him off as they wheeled Nonye into the theater.

Robbing his bloodied hands on his shirt, he paced the length of the corridor confused. Dipping his hand into his pocket, he pulled out his phone and scrolled to his mother's numbers.

"Hello, mum?"

"Richard, how are you?" came the mum's voice.

"I am not fine; it's Nonye, she is in the hospital."

"What? what happened to her?"

"I don't know; I don't know."

"Which hospital?"

"Elevation hospital."

"I am coming," she concluded and dropped the call.




DAVID

"He rushed into the hospital and headed to the reception.

"Good day sir, how how.."

"I am looking for a young lady that was brought here, she had an accident," he spoke hurriedly cutting the receptionist short.

"Can I get a name sir?"

"Rosemary..." he trails off not knowing the surname.

"Rosemary what?" the young girl persisted.

"I don't know. Please just check for any Rosemary that was brought here this morning."

"Ok just a minute." she tapped some button and looked up. "The only Rosemary here bears Wellington as a surname."

"Yes, that must be her. Please, which ward is she in?"

He was bent not paying attention to whatever was going around him until he heard the name Rosemary Wellington. He looked up and saw him. He recognized him from the day he followed Rosemary.

"No, No, this is not happening," he murmured standing to meet him.

"Excuse me, what happened to Rose?" he asked walking up to David.

David turned and saw him. He recognized the man instantly. He looked him over before looking back to the Receptionist.

"She is in ICU ward 3. Take the stairs, third room on your left."

"What happened to Rose? Richard repeated grabbing his hand, and he made to leave.

"Let go of my hand and stay the hell out of this," he started pulling away from him. "I see you have other things to attend to," he concluded before running up the stairs.

He made to follow her, but just then his mum called from behind.




NICKIE

"Lydia," Nickie called entering the house. "Where are you?" she asked happily as she couldn't wait to share the news of her promotion with her.

She pulled her shoes and dropped her bag heading toward the step. It was unlike Lydia not to be downstairs seeing her favorite program.

"Lydia come down already, I have been promoted," she called out happily running up the stairs. Entering her room, the sight she met left her shocked. Lydia was sprawled on the floor foaming from the mouth with a bottle of substance on the floor.

"No! No! She screamed running to her. "Lydia don't do this to me please." she cried. She picked the bottle on the floor and read the inscription on it. Sniper!!!

"Lydia please, please," she cried. Touching her heart, she didn't feel a pulse. Siting up she ran down shouting for her gate man to come and help her.




ROSE

"What are you doing here?" Rose asked angrily as he walked into her ward.

"Rosemary?" her mother called cautioning her to calm down.

"Don't tell me you called him," she asked turning to her mum.

"Yes, I called him." she retorted looking squarely at her.

"I can't believe you." she said frustrated, turning to David, "Thanks for coming but I am fine, so you can get the Bleep out."

"He was so relieved to see that she was so hurt and still had the strength to curse."

"How are you Rossie," he asked walking close to her bed.

"I will leave you two to it." her mum said and headed out before she could stop her.

"I don't know for whatever reason why she called you but as you can see I am fine so close the fucking door behind you."

"Can you stop behaving irrationally for a moment?" David asked trying to hold his anger.

"Oh! Am I behaving irrationally huh? You can here to insult me you lying bastard."

"Wow! Wow!! Lying bastard? that's what I am now?"

"And what you will always be David, get out!" she screamed.


He felt so angry and insulted but had to put it under control. Holding her gaze for a while, he swallowed hard, and for a split second, he determined to give her what she wanted. Without words, he turned and headed towards the door.

Her momentary madness left her immediately as she saw the hurts in his eyes. "Damn!" she cursed under her breathe before getting down on her feet.

"David?" she called stopping him on his track.

He turned surprised to see her walking towards him.

"David I am sorry." she apologized with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Its ok, I will just leave ok," he replied forcing a smile.

"Please don't." she walked up to him, circled her arms around his neck and pulled him down into a passionate kiss. All his resistance washed away as he welcomed her throbbing lips into his mouth.

"You two really need to get a room," her mum said walking in on them with the doctor.

"Spoiler." Rose murmured under her breathe as they disentangled from each other while she walked back to the bed. "This is still my ward," she said behind her mum who smiled knowing that she spoilt there fun.

"Not your bedroom or hotel room." she smiled turning to her.

"Am I ready to go?" Rose asked turning to the Doctor.

"No, the test result shows you are very ok and nothing to worry about but I will have to observe you for another day. You need to have a good rest and lastly stop thinking, your bp is a bit high."

All the eyes in the room turned to her when the doctor mentioned her bp.

"Hey! Please, you guys are boring holes in my body, and moreover it's your fault," she concluded turning to David.

He made to say something, but his phone started ringing. Pulling it out from his pocket, he checked the caller, and it was an unsaved number.

"I have to take this," he said and headed out.

"Nice way to dodge," Rose said behind him. He looked back and smiled before closing the door behind him.


"Hello!" he said as he pressed the receiver button.

"Yes this is David, who are you?"

"Nickie, how may I help you?"

"What? She did what? Why? How?"

Where is she?"

"I am coming." he ended the call and rushed out.
