Memories Of Cupid - Season 1 - Episode 3

Throwing both arms in the air, she stretched her stiff body and yawned. In the glory of her nakedness, she pushed the sheet aside and sat up. The azure and white heart-shaped clock on the wall showed it was some minutes after the hour of seven in the evening. Cassandra grimaced and rushed to the bathroom to freshen up. She ran her fingers down her rough weavon. She washed her face and made for the cream coloured towel hung on the iron plated hanger, She wiped her face hurriedly and to the room. She guessed the fan she switched on had carefully taken to the land of the unknown.

“SOC302 could be tiring sometimes” She grumbled.

She combed her hair into a neat pile. She skimmed through her wardrobe for a perfect dress for her date with Austin Chuks.

She couldn’t really say he was handsome or rich. He’d got intelligence and some kind of aura. She just knew she was in love with him and needed to get her man to herself that evening. She believed there was more to a relationship than just looks and money.

It had been days they engaged in a heated argument due to her disdainful and scornful behaviour towards his sister, Dina Chuks.

Dressed in a lilac silk gown which accentuated her curves, Cassandra surveyed her image in the mirror with a critical eye. She adjusted the silver necklace that sat on her neck. A pair of Dainty earrings glinted on both ears.

Her perfectly brushed Peruvian weavon breezled as she placed her silver G-coral clutch on her left hand adorned with ringlets of bangles. She smiled at her statement heels that did justice to her feet. She looked smashingly hot in her outfit, Her perfectly contoured and well made up face spoke volumes.

She was exceptionally happy as she set out at 7:45pm to settle her grievances with the love of her life, Austin Chuks.

Austin took a generous sip as if that would calm him down. His balm of patience was running out. He gazed at the the pure havens wine before him and gulped down the remaining content. His forehead was creased in a deep frown.

He had arrived TK restaurant thirty minutes ago. He glanced at his wristwatch, It screamed 8:15pm. He sighed and scrutinized the restaurant carefully. He noticed it had a bar and a brawl spot. He couldn’t fathom why Cassy was obsessed with the restaurant. He saw nothing special in it.

“Girls!” He cursed underneath.

He could hear the sounds of approaching feet, He glanced at the doorway,He drove in surprise, He felt something shivering down his spine.

His eyes were stuck on the beautiful queen approaching him, her gold loreal lipstick shone from distance.

His feet felt like they were flowing on cloud nine!

Heavens! Cassy looked gorgeous, Whoever said girls from Rivers weren’t beautiful.

He was still in awe of her looks when he felt a soft gentle finger tapped him. His countenance changed instantly, He was supposed to be angry with her and not giving her the face he was giving her. A deep frown etched on his scanty eyebrows.

Cassandra smiled, She had noticed the lustful glances he shot at her as she approached him.
She widened her smiles.

“Goodness! This girl needs to be told she’s killing an homosapien” Austin muttered silently.

He beckoned on the waiter, Cassandra placed her order of a bowl of ice cream and hamburger. Austin only requested for more bottles of pure haven wine.

Austin folded his arms across his fresh pink shirt.

Part of what attracted her to Austin was his perfect dress sense and lovely eyes. She also admired his breathtaking jerry curls.

He stared intently at his girlfriend, Cassandra.
He loved calling her “Cassy”, He only called her “Cassandra” anytime he was angry.

“OK, Fine. I am sorry” She voiced out

“Sorry about what?”

Cassandra clenched her teeth, must she spell it out to him? The waiter dressed in a white shirt on a black trousers with a black bow brought what they had ordered for and left.

“That I…, eem”

“You mean that you slapped my sister?”He chipped in

“Baby, Not directly, I just…”Cassandra paused, trying to find the right word.

“I put it to you again, you slapped Dina!” He yelled at her

“No, I Just..”

“Admit it!You slapped her, You have a lot of bad attitudes already, you wouldn’t want to add lieing to them” His voice rose some pitch.
He was beginning to attract unnecessary attention but that was his least concern, he was angry she wasn’t ready to take the blame.

Cassandra shivered, She looked down. She was finding it hard holding back her tears that was threatening to split, Beads of sweat trickled down her face gently ruining her make-up.

She hated the feeling she got whenever Austin yelled at her. Austin rose to leave, She needed no soothsayer to tell her he was deeply angry. she quickly held him down by griping his shirt.

“Austin, I am sorry, I will never do it again” she pleaded wiping off the two fat tears that rolled down her cheeks. Austin casted his eyes at her,She looked innocent but he knew she was a beast in human clothing. Cassandra looked pleadingly into his intelligent eyes and muttered, “Am sorry sweetheart”.

Austin sat down and fixed his solemn gaze at her

“Cassy, I love you, I have never given another lady a second glance since we began dating over a year ago, I am now in my final year, you are in 300L and Dina, the only one I have left is just in 200L. I haven’t gone for my service, you are treating her like this, what would you do when am gone?”

Cassandra swallowed hard and said”I will Change, I assure you”.

The duo engaged in a passionate kiss, Cassy heaved a sigh of relief

“I won’t lose you, Never!”she said as she gave him a bear hug.

********
The morning light streamed in through the open
curtain,bringing warmth into the room.

Its warm texture caressed the face of the girl on the bed.

She stirred in her sleep and m0aned a little. A beautiful saturday it looked,right from the sky to the breezy atmosphere,everything seemed to be in place.

Even the birds sang lovely tunes that Saturday morning.

Elyme rolled to the other side of the bed to pick her phone, She scrolled through it, She giggled and laughed musically when Anita’s message popped in, She clicked on it and replied

“Yea, am awake,you beta get ur lazy body off that bed and go do housechores”She added a smiley and sent it to her.

She was about dropping her phone when a message came in. She sighed, Anita was always quick to reply , she had thought but was stunned when it displayed an unknown number. she clicked on the message, her jaw dropped as she saw the first sentence of the message

“Moonlight, How was your night?”her stomach churned, she froze in fright.

Was the only person who called her “moonlight” back? What did Piri want again from her?

Thousand questions throbbed through her mind, she shut her eyes as the loathsome memory of that fateful night surfaced back into her world.
