Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 18
THE ringing of the doorbell stopped Annette in her tracks, she was about going into the kitchen when it rang
âIâm comingâ, she replied and walked to the door
She opened it to meet Cynthia, she frowned
What was she doing there? She closed the door and came out
âAnnetteâ, she called with a weak smile
Annette made a face
âYes? What do you want?â, she asked as she folded her hands and leaned on the door frame
Cynthiaâs face fell
âLook Annette, Iâm sorry for what happened okay? Iâm very sorry, itâs not like I knew you were gonna be the victim, I didnât know it was you. Please I came to ask for forgivenessâ, she pleaded, her voice was breaking down in tears
Annette sighed
âHmm, you didnât know I was the one?â
âYes, I didnât. Iâm sorryâ
Annette laughed
âSo even if I wasnât the one, does that mean you can still go ahead and plan such thing?â
Cynthia shook her head in negotiation
âYes, thatâs what it meansâ, she said
âNo Anne, I wasâŠ.. I was brainwashed, and I didnât know what I was doing again. Please Iâm sorryâ
She waved her head in both sides
âWho even told you guys that Fred is my boyfriend, who even?â
Cynthia looked to the floor
âTimi did, she told me you are his girlfriend andâŠ.. and I also wanted him for myself, I didnât know she tricked me, she lied to me that she had nothing to do with Fred, whereas she also wanted himâ, she cried
âAnd now Iâve realized my mistake, please I beg you Anne, forgive meâ
Just then, a car drove into the compound and they turned to look at it, as it slowly drove in
Annette instantly knew the person, it was Fred
She just doesnât want anything to do with that guy anymore, why is he disturbing her?
She turned to Cynthia
âOkay Cynthia, Iâve forgiven you, go and do it no moreâ, she smiled
Cynthiaâs eyes widened
âAre you serious Anne?â, she asked
She nodded
âVery serious, Iâve forgiven youâ
âOhh, thank youâ, she embraced her
âYou are welcome, itâs nice having you at my place todayâ
She smiled
âThanks for forgiving me. Thank youâ
By now, Fred was already out of the car and walking towards them
Annette looked at him and hissed
âOkay dear, Iâll see you in church, byeâ, and she opened the door and entered
Fred saw the way with which she rushed into the house, leaving her guest outside, he knew it was because of him
What was he gonna do? How would he win her heart?
âHey! Fredâ, Cynthia exclaimed
Fred halted in his tracks, he didnât know it was Cynthia, what was she doing here?
He looked at her and then went in, without saying a word
Cynthia turned and left
Fred opened the door and entered, he looked round there was no one in sight
âAnyone home?â, he asked, âAnne? Sochi?â, there was no answer
Then he decided to look for Anneâs room, she must be in there
He walked to the dining and to his utmost shock, he saw her she was sitted and just staring into space
For a moment he was scared, he thought it was a ghost
He shrugged it off and walked to her
âOhh Anne, you are hereâ, he tried to touch her
âDonâtâ, she said
He was startled
Why wonât this girl see reasons with him? With all these her behaviors now, howâs he sure he was once her crush
He sighed and sat opposite her
âWhat do you want? I mean what you doing here?â, she asked, she wasnât looking at him, she still stared into space
Fred sighed
âAnne Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry. Forget the past please, let it go, just let it go okayâ, he placed his hands on the table, âyou are my life, do you want me to die first before you accept me?â
Annette turned to look at him, her eyes were shimmering with tears
âThereâs a time in a womanâs life when she craves for attention, and thereâs a time when she needs no attention, and this is the time Fred. When I needed you, when I craved for attention from you, where were you? You were busy looking elsewhere, okay I accepted my fate with heartbreak, saying maybe you donât love me, so I withdrew my love. Iâm not a coward that fights over guys, I should have done that, but I didnât. Instead I was being beaten up and almost raped, all because of the same youâ, she pointed at him and got up, âexcuse meâ, she said and walked out on him
âAnne?â, he called holding back her left hand
She angrily forced her hand away and walked away
He groaned and followed her, determined to make her see reasons, he knew she loves him, he could see it in her eyes, but why was she holding back?
He caught up with her in the sitting room, he pinned her to the wall, thereby preventing her from running away again
She was now resting on the wall, while he held her down
He looked into her eyes, the tears were already coming down
He brought his lips to her eyes, and kissed the tears on each eye
What!
She wanted to object, but he still held her down, he was too strong for her
The kiss was more stronger, it sent sparkles going down her spine, she cringed
âIâm the cause of this tears Anne, allow me kiss it offâ, he whispered softly, she could feel his breath
Annette cringed
Why was she falling again for this boy? Why?
âAnne?â, he called and looked into her eyes
Her eyes flickered, she was shy and she turned away from him
Fred smiled
âLook at meâ, he said and she slowly turned, their eyes met
âIâm sorry for the pains Iâve caused you, pardon me I didnât notice you when you needed, but believe me thereâs time for everythingâ, he paused for a while
Annette looked at him in surprise, she was shocked.
Was this really Fred? Her first love?
She never expected she would one day stand close to him like this, and hear him mutter sweet words to her
God! She felt so happy, but she never showed it
âYou are special to meâ, he continued, âand I want you to give me the chance to be part of your life, part of every of your affairsâ
She just stared at him, still unable to believe he was the one talking
She lowered her gaze to the floor
He cupped her chin and raised her head, so she could look at him
âIâm serious Anne, what do you have to say?â
She turned her gaze elsewhere again, she was shy
âIâŠ..Iâm speechlessâ, she stuttered
He smiled
âI expect you toâ
She looked at her fingers as she played with them, he took her left hand in his, brought it close to his lips and he kissed it
Annette was dazed, what was happening?
âI love you Anneâ, he said
What!
Was she sure of what she just heard? Fred?
She looked at him inquiringly
He smiled and nodded, revealing that handsome face that has captured a lotta hearts
Talking about that, she shook her head, no, she doesnât want his features to be captured by any other girl again, she wants only her in his life
She immediately hugged him, cuddling him to herself, like someone was gonna grab him away from her
âI love you too Fredâ, she said in-between tears
They disengaged from the hug and he cleaned off her tears
âWeep no more, Iâm here for youâ, she smiled, revealing her thirty two
âThank youâ
âI will like to take you out to the cinema tomorrow afternoon, do you wish?â
âOf course, it will be my pleasureâ
âCome hereâ, and they embraced so passionately

Annette put on her shoes in readiness for her outing while Sochima packed her hair into a ponytail
âI canât believe this bug sisterâ, she said
Annette smiled
âMe too, like Iâm dreamingâ
Sochima laughed
âAt last, you are good to goâ, she looked out the window and saw a car driving in
âI think heâs hereâ, she said
Annette got up, took her bag from the bed and sauntered out
âTake care baby sisâ, she waved at her
âByeâ, she waved back, smiling
Fred came out of the car and walked up to Annette, he extended his right hand towards her
She placed her left hand on it
âMy queenâ, he smiled, âlooking good as alwaysâ
She blushed
âThank youâ
Still holding onto her left hand, he opened the car door and ushered her in
When sheâs entered, he closed the door and then went over to the driverâs side, he entered and soon they were driving slowly towards the gate
As soon as they got outside the compound, on the road, the car went off and stopped
Fred turned to look at Annette, she also turned to look at him, and their eyes met
âWhat happened?â, Annette asked
Fred laughed
âI know you are scared, I turned it off. Want to check on somethingâ, he took out his phone from the pigeon hole
Just then, Annette saw someone bypass their car, what! It was Peter
She strained her neck to look at him, Fred noticed and followed her gaze, he saw him too
âPeter?â, Annette involuntarily said
Fred was stunned, does she know him?
âDo you know him?â, he asked
She turned to him and nodded
âYeah, he was my classmate in secondary schoolâ
He sighed
ââŠ..and Timiâs boyfriend tooâ, he added
She looked at him, how did he knew?
âHow did you know?â, she asked
Fred laughed
âHe was the one that made me see Timi was no good, anyway, letâs wave that offâ
âHmmâ, she sighed
âI just got message from my school, my department would be resuming soonest. Which university would you like to further your education?â
She turned to look at him
âSame as yoursâ
âReally?â
âYeahâ, she nodded
âHow would you tend with the girls in my department who wants to get into my panties at all cost?â, he winked, he was pulling her legs
She smiled and shook her head
âI donât care. Stop scaring meâ
He laughed
âThatâs my baby girl. So are you ready?â
She nodded
âAlways ready for youâ, they laughed as he revved up the car and zoomed off.
