In Love With My Pastor

Episode 10

Continue from the last scene

He stare at me like I had suddenly grown Horn. I stood there like a status waiting for him to say something, he didn’t say anything close to 10minutes so I spoke.

SAM: I said good evening daddy.

PAPA: And I heard you the first time, go inside and change then come back here.
I looked at him “what does he want to say to me” I thought inwardly. I went inside changed into my night robe and came back. He turn down the volume of the tv then faced me.

PAPA: Sam, where are you coming from by this time of the night?

What? was that what he wanted to say to me? So he waited not because he misses me but because he wants to scold me?

SAM: I went out with desmond, daddy and I told you about it. (I didn’t sit I was sacred to)

PAPA: And you are coming back now? Is it the right time for a decent lady to come back home?

What should I know, I was already getting angry with this talk and he was about to ruin my night.

SAM: I will like someone to replace me, I want to go back home. “What”? He exclaim

PAPA: Why, because I scolded you? Or something else?

SAM: Nothing, I just wanna go home (tear was already flowing my cheeks)

He got up from his sit and held my shoulder, he stare at me for a while before he took me to the coach he was siting, we sat down for some minutes before he spoke again.

PAPA: I’m sorry, you are an adult I have no right to yell at you. I’m truly sorry.
His hand were still on my shoulder, it felt cold, I liked it but this is not the time to show it, I stare at him for a while.

SAM: I’m not going because you scolded me, I’m just sacred daddy, what happened this afternoon what if it happens again? I just wanna go home (tears still flowing)

PAPA: Hmmm, can you a least wipe your tears first, it pains me to know I’m the reason for that. Nothing happened this afternoon and nothing is going to happen child. I looked at him then use the back of my left hand to wipe my tears but it still keeps Coming. He pulled me closer to himself and hugged me (so this man the form Americans) I wasn’t surprise because hugs is big deal, and is not as if I faced him with my chest, it was a side hug. The next question he asked me throw me off.

PAPA: What do you think wanted to happen this afternoon.

I didn’t know what to say, I just soak my wet face into his shoulder. I sob for like 10minutes more before I stopped. He asked the question again.

SAM: Papa, I.. i’m eeh I eeh I don’t know sir.
