Shadow Of Love

Episode 28

I ate and relaxed in my room, waiting for my boyfriend to come and give me good loving but he never came. I waited for an hour or so before I heard the door open. I was sure it was Franca so I just kept mute and slowly closed my eyes to sleep.

The screaming from the other room woke me up and I couldn’t help but hiss. What a cheap thing. I’m sure it’s not Charles who’s making her scream that way. I looked at my table clock and it was past twelve. Tobe didn’t show up neither did he call. I undressed and quickly went into the shower, the scream from the other room, aiding me to give myself some release while I thought about what Tobe and I would have being doing by this time.

I came out and picked my phone. I dialled his number but it was switched off. I couldn’t get some sleep. No, not with all these grunts and screams. I left my room and went to the sitting room. I hadn’t spent close to twenty minutes when I heard his voice. He was shouting at someone but what was he doing here at this time? Wait! Was that voice coming from Franca’s room? I stood up to go and confirm my fears when the door burst open and they both came out in what looked like a struggle. Franca was na’ked while Tobe had just his boxer on. He was shouting and holding Franca so tight that it looked like her wrist would break.

I was so shocked that I couldn’t say anything. They noticed my presence and Tobe quickly left her and ran to me. My eyes were stuck on Franca who had a smirk on her face.

No! This wasn’t happening to me. No!
I ran into my room and locked my door but the tears didn’t fall. I was still lost. He knocked continuously on my door but I refused to open up. I was still lost in my own world when I heard them arguing. They argued for a while before I heard a thug, followed by Franca’s wail and then silence.
