Episode 9
Day 2
Jack was safely placed on bed and watched till Julie was sure he had a pulse. She sat with her face buried in her palms. Indeed making him see her so suddenly was a bad idea, she understood now, why favour questioned her plans.
âMaybe I shouldnât reveal myself to him againâ
She finally blurted out, staring at his unclad body.
âYou would have to, he has to believe what he saw his not some trance or dream, he has to believe itâs youâ
Julie sighed, she thought of what she had put him thru, and realised she had been so cruel.
âI donât even know if he would be able to forgive me for what I did to him, how can he love me then?â
Favour stood up and was going to go, but never failed to encourage her a bit.
âDonât give up before you start. There is still time, use the best of itâ
âWhere are you going?â
Julie had to ask. What would she do without favour?.
âBernice is on my tail, I canât be in one place for too long, but Iâll always check on you ok?â
Before Julie could raise an objection, favour was out of sight. She stared at Jack now, she couldnât believe she would someday be the guardian angel of the supposed man she saw as trash.
Jack woke up the next morning, feeling paranoid and suspicious of his environment. He held his head to massage and tame the slight headache he felt.
âWhat was thatâŠ?â
He questioned, not that he was expecting an answer from anyone.
He picked himself from bed and determined to get to work. He was done being shy and scared to face his colleagues, after loosing to his rival. Itâs been a week since he last appeared at work. He was certainly going to come up with a convincing story, as to why he exceeded the 2weeks leave given him for the burial of his mother.
Julie thought it wise to let him be that morning, she heated the food she prepared and brought his attention to the food when she made a sound with the pot.
