So he came back? All the big talk about coming back for me,just to end up with Vivian? A pregnant Vivian?
These were the questions going on in my head at that moment as I lay on my bed.
My other thought kept reassuring me; you’ve got Raymond,he will still be yours.
Was I confused? Yes! At my age,I already have different escapades on relationships. Its true that I still had a soft spot for Ebuka but seeing him that night made all the feelings disappear.
I couldn’t sleep. I kept on tossing on the bed till God knows when I finally closed my eyes to sleep.
I woke up the next morning feeling very strange and new. I walked in to the kitchen to make breakfast. I saw a note on the table.
Everyone had gone out. What to eat and cook were in the kitchen too. Money was also kept beside the note.
I did all the chores that were left and freshened up. I came down to the sitting room to see a film. I was already into it when my phone rang.
It was Patrick;
Me: Hello
Patrick: How are you?
Me: I’m fine and you?
Patrick; I’m alright. Where are you?
Me; At home.
Patrick; Are you free to go out?
Me: No. Mum will soon be back
Patrick: Oh! Okay.
Me: Any problem?
Patrick: Not at all. Its just that I have a friend who has being bothering me over you.
Me: Hmmm.
Patrick; Yes. Do I give him your number?
Me: Doesn’t he have a name?
Patrick; You know this guy. I’ll give him your number. When he calls,you will recognise him.
The call went dead before I could say no. Some minutes later,my phone rang. It was an unsaved number
Me: Yea?
Raymond: Rose!
The voice became the voice I once knew. He called me? The gentleness was just so amazing. I held my breathe before speaking into the receiver;
Me; Yes,this is Rose. Who am I speaking with?
