Shadow Of Love

Episode 18

While I dressed up for school that Tuesday morning, Lois kept contacting me while I gave her directions to my house. I applied a light make up on my face and was about stepping into my jean when a knock came. I left my room and went to open the door. Lois stepped in, looking and smelling classy. She hugged me while she looked around.

Lois: Girl, your house is heaven.

If only she knew that some animals bleeped in that sitting room last night.

Me: Thanks dear. Make yourself comfortable while I put on my cloth.

Lois: You’ve got to hurry up. Cynthia and Vanessa are downstairs.

Me: Who’re they?

Lois: My friends that wanna be your friends too. You know, everyone wants to associate with you but you won’t even look at us twice. I told them I was coming here and they decided to follow.

i looked at her with mixed feeling of surprise and anger. I don’t like so many people involved in my life. It will give me so much attention and I don’t want that. I love and enjoy my privacy and three friends is definitely not private especially when they’re only my friends because they know I’m in danger and need people around me.
It took the snapping of her fingers to get me back to my apartment.

Lois: Is that how you zone out?

I hissed and sat down.

Me: Forgive me. I was just thinking that you would come alone and besides, I wouldn’t want anyone knowing the reason why I want you around me.

Lois: Ah. Pamel I’m not like that. I didn’t even tell them you were the girl FR was talking about in the cafe.

Me: FR?

She leaned into me and whispered.

Lois: I’m sure she must be listening, that’s why I’m calling her that.

A smile appeared on my face. This girl is a genius.

Me: So none of them are aware?

Lois: Yes. Now hurry up, we need to be in school before 8:00
I stood up and went to my room, after noticing Franca’s presence. This was going to be fun and I’ll enjoy the moment while it lasts.
