Episode 19

Liza,I need a moment”
“Will you tell me later?”
“Yes”

When Pedro hit the road,he asked himself why he was drawn to Tiara- because of her difference? Yes Tiara was different from other girls he’d met before. He couldn’t explain to himself why he always wanted to be in her company, why he always felt the urge to protect her. He wanted to decline the invitation he had gotten from Steve but Steve was his buddy, they went way back,they grew together and attended the same school as kids but went their different ways when they became grown ups.

Pedro was about to reach their rendezvous when his phone beeped,he checked and saw the message was from Tiara,he quickly read the message. He called Steve and cancelled their meeting promising they would meet the next day,that something just came up,he took a ‘U’ turn—he was going back to Tiara

It was the morning of the next day,two figures la!d on the bed unclad,legs intertwined. The female figure la!d,placing her head on her partner’s chest,caressing the hairs on her partner’s chest. The male figure la!d cuddling his female partner.
“Good morning. I love seeing you like this”,Pedro said
“How?”,Tiara asked
“The afterglow”,he said as his hand ran down her bare back
“Hmmm”,Tiara said still caressing the hairs on his chest
“Do you have something to do today?”
“Nothing”
“Any regrets?”
She turned to look at him “No”
“I like that”
“You like everything”
He laughed as his phone rang. Tiara handed the phone to Pedro and he pulled her in for a brief kiss. He picked the call,it was Steve on the other end
“Where are you,puppy?”,Steve asked
Steve always referred to Pedro as ‘puppy’ ever since they were kids.
“I’ll meet you in thirty minutes, Steel”
Pedro referred to Steve as ‘Steel’
“Okay
”
They joked a little and the call was disconnected
“Are you leaving?”,Tiara asked
“Yep,I have to meet a friend”
She looked away from him. Pedro tilted her chin and brought her face to his “I won’t stay long,okay?”
She nodded
He kissed her and it led to another round of loving.

Pedro was more than thirty minutes late. He however, apologized to Steve
“My boss has been calling me,I need to go back to the office but a job for you”
Steve didn’t wait for Pedro to respond,he continued “My boss,Robert, wants to know the owner of a newly acquired shares. Will you take the job?”

When Pedro left, Tiara got to the bathroom to take a hot shower and her mind played back to then previous night. She had texted Pedro to please come back that she had important business to discuss—at least she thought she had business. The real truth was that she felt a tiny tang of jealousy. She had asked herself who was the friend Pedro was going to see and why did he have to leave in a haste? was he going to see another woman? who was he going to see?. And to top it all,Liza had wanted to know killed their. She had wanted to ask but the fact was that she didn’t know who killed their dad—if it was Paul or her

When Pedro got back,they had had a heart-to-heart talk and she had ended up narrating the story of her father’s life,her mother’s life and her sisters’ lives. She had explained how her dad been cheated out of his company and how if affected their lives. She ended up confessing how she ended her father’s misery. She never understood what had gotten or why she opened up to Pedro the way she did.

Pedro had held her and kissed her. He had comforted her and she had found peace around the curves of his shoulders. Pedro had touched her in places and she went wild. She had actually heard herself m0an. He had made love to her.

Liza sat in the sitting room,entertaining herself with a movie. She wished she understood why Tiara held back the name of their father’s killed but she respected Tiara and she trusts her.
She was sorry for calling her dad a murderer. She was more sorry for getting a chance to apologize to her dad before he died.
When she ran from home,she always dreamt of coming back and apologizing to her family but she didn’t because of pride but she regretted now
.
“Liza?”,it was Fiona who called immediately she stepped into the sitting room.
Liza turned and saw Fiona standing on the doorway.
“Yes?”
“What are you doing here?”
“Fiona,what a great sister you are”,Liza said sarcastically
“What do mean by that?”
“Did you know I lived in the streets?”
“Yes but
.”
“But you never came to look for me”
“Liza,it ain’t what you

”
“How is your foetus doing?”
Fiona became confused
“How did you
.”
“Tia told me”
“Tiara knows?”
“Oh yeah”
“My God!”
