Shadow Of Love

Episode 9

I stepped out of the shower only to see him sitting on the bed with his phone. He dropped it and came to me.

Tobe: You don’t know how much I love you Pamela, don’t leave me like this.

Me: My mind is already made up. I’m leaving.

Tobe: Baby we’re just starting. Do you want to leave me in ruins? heartbroken and alone?

Me: Please stop. What if she’d not called when I was awake, will you have told me? You would have kept it a secret right?

Tobe: Baby I planned to tell you before you leave. Trust me baby. I just need to remain with her till I graduate.

Me: Tobechukwu, it’s no use. I stand no chance in your life. I’m glad I found out early. Your family will never accept me. Do you know that?

He held me tight and rubbed my hair.

Tobe: It’s you and I baby. Just don’t leave me like this.

He began to kiss my forehead, my ear, my neck, every part of my face, I wiggled out of his embrace and went to the wardrobe, I was leaving and I’m not coming back
