Episode 8
Flord was asking of my location, saying he wanted to see me. Iāve known Flord ever since Franca and Charles started dating. He always visited even in Francaās absence. Iād caught him on several occasion ogling me but I never gave it any strong meaning. Boys love to stare and he is one of ā demboyz ā
I told him I went to my boyfriendās house and he should drop any message with Franca. I got busy with my phone and didnāt know when I slept off, only to wake up to the strong smell of toast. I looked beside me and Tobe wasnāt there so I smiled. Iām dating a chef so what do I expect? I got to the bathroom and brushed before going to meet him.
Me: Good morning Chef
Tobe: Wife of a chef.
We laughed and he came and hugged me.
Tobe: How was your night?
Me: I slept like a baby.
Tobe: Itās obvious. Give me ten minutes and Iāll serve breakfast.
Me: Okay. Iāll be in the dinning then.
I made to walk out but remembered last night.
Me: Ehe. Before I forget, Fantasy called.
He turned immediately and looked at me.
Tobe: Fantasy?
Me: Yes. Fantasy.
Tobe: Uhm. Whereās my phone?
Me: Itās in the drawer.
He stormed out of the kitchen and I couldnāt help but wonder who this fantasy is.
Breakfast was cool but the tension between us was annoying. I didnāt want to know who the caller is but why will she spoil my weekend?
Me: Look, if weāre going to keep quiet now, Iāll just pick my bag and leave. Iām not comfortable with this annoying silence
He looked up and smiled at me.
Tobe: Fantasy is my fiancƩe.
I choked on my toast. It went down the wrong pipe and I had to take refuge in the water on the table.
Tobe: She lives abroad, thatās why she called late. Thatās the time we normally spoke to each other.
Tears filled my throat. What is wrong with me? What is wrong with my life? Am I cursed?
With blurred vision, I stood up and found my way to the room. I refused to cry out, I refused to open the spring which was begging to be released.
He came into the room and held me, he helped me sit down on the bed.
Tobe: But I love you. I love you so much that it hurts. I love you so much that Iām willing to do anything to be with you.
Me: Why? Why didnāt you tell me? Why didnāt you tell me before now? At least, I wouldnāt have fallen for you this much. Why will you even do that to me?
He held me again, this time, I released myself from his grip and started packing my things.
Tobe: Baby, what are you doing?
Me: Iām going home.
Tobe: You canāt do that. Pamela I love you. I love you very much.
Me: Iām sorry Tobe. You canāt have a fiancĆ©e and still keep me by the side. I need a relationship where I know my stand, where Iām sure of the future.
Tobe: Youāre with me, Iām also with you. Fantasy is still in my life because I need her to smoothen things out for me. If Iām not with her, dad will stop all the privileges I get. Itās a family thing and trust me, Iāve got plans for that.
Me: Tobe, Iām not falling for that okay. Just let me go.
I was through with my bag now. I went into the bathroom and began to undress. I got into the shower and cuddled in it, letting the water run through my body to calm my nerves and get me back to thinking straight.
The water did help a lot. I spent close to thirty minutes in it before soaping up. Once I leave this house, Iāll stop all communications with Tobe. He can go to his fiancĆ©e for all I care.
