Must Read: INTERMISSION (The Love) - Season 1 - Episode 10

Back to the present

I woke up to behold my day. Yeah! It was my day because my crush will be giving me reply that day. It was almost two months since i have been wooing this girl and the funniest thing is that I don’t even know either her reply will be positive.

My relationship with Evelyn has also blossom over this month. I always enjoyerd staying with her; we spend every evening together at her house doing a lot of things like learning (she was teaching me mathematics at her house), playing of games, watching football; i got to know that she was Barcelona fans while i am Real-Madrid fans. Spending time with her was now a normal routine for me and i enjoyed every bit of it. Throughout our closeness, nothing unusual happened, but i noticed that throughout all these while, she has never had any other visitor apart from me either male or female. When the devil comes in everything was jeopardized.

******************************

I reached school that faithful day with high expectation. I meet frank alighting from a bus at the school gate

FRANK: how are you?

ME: man, so you can’t greet again that you are asking me how am i?

FRANK: see you; do you think that you are older than me?

ME: you, older than me? You are really ridiculous

FRANK: forget that one joor…. i just want you to force Tracy to give you reply today and if she still insist of thinking about it, just tell her that she should forget about it because it is now getting to a whole month and she was still playing hard to get

ME: okay
**************************
I was seated in the class with Tracy

ME: so what will you say about my proposal

TRACY: you are just been faster than your shadow

ME: forget that, what i want to hear now is either yes or no

TRACY: yes or no

ME: i am not interested in your joke right now; just give me your reply

TRACY: what did you want me to say again?

ME: just say yes or you say no

TRACY: yes or no ***she said amidst of laughter***

I was like “what is wrong with this girl”
ME: if i leave here now, it will be the last time i talk to you about this

TRACY: ***silent for some seconds*** Yes, i will be your girlfriend ***she said, stand up and peck me before walking back to her seat***
I sat on my seat dumbfounded, the earth was revolving around me, my head aches, i began to sweat profusely, and the veins on my head became plain visible. The feeling i had that moment was indescribable, i was feeling as if i am on top of the world. I was jolted back by a tap on my shoulder, i look back to see frank staring at me

FRANK: what is the matter? Why are you sweating like a Christmas goat?

ME: ***silent***

FRANK: i am talking to you, did she say no?

ME: no, she said yes ***i replied with a smile***

FRANK: then why are you sweating? You are supposed to be rejoicing

ME: mehn.. i am very happy

FRANK: i told you that she loves you, didn’t i?

ME: guy you are right

FRANK: how did you go about it?

I explained everything to him

FRANK: you are now turning into a nigga, small time now you will began wooing anything in skirt

ME: idiot; do you think i am like you?

FRANK: i am a holy pastor oooo, i don’t know what you are talking about

ME: holy pastor my foot. I will like to buy
something after school

FRANK: hahah, see this mumu, it is today that you know that you will buy me something? In fact, thunder fire you

ME: guy please don’t spoil the fun

FRANK: i have had you

I was very happy for the rest of the school hour and thank God that Miss Evelyn did send for me otherwise i would have told that i was busy
**************************

In the evening, i got to Miss Evelyn’s residence to see her with her swimming trunk; she was standing by the side of the pool obviously just finished swimming. The lady was just too curvelicious with her body drifting water. I was now lust, my brain formatted, i lost my memory of thinking and stand there staring at her tempting body, I don’t know what got over me; i have never felt like this before. I regained consciousness when she asked me if i am not going to great her

ME: g…ood evening ma *** i stammered***
She didn’t answer my greeting before picking up a towel to dry her body while walking into the house. I stood outside confused; i prayed that the ground should open and swallow me but that was not forthcoming. This is my first real embarrassment; my brain was racing with thousand thoughts per second
“”what will be going on in her mind?””
“”is it that i am beginning to have feelings for my teacher?””
Oh no! Not now.

EVELYN: are you going to remain outside because of what just happened? ***she said from the living room***

Obviously, she has changed into something before returning to the living room. I walked briskly to the living room with shame and regret, “i should have just return into the living room after seeing her” i thought, but the devil had other plan; a plan to destroy our relationship and he has succeeded. Evelyn will now see me as a spoilt child.

When i got into the room, she was seated on a single couch with her gaze firmly focused on the Tv, the look on her face was plain that i cannot fathom either she was angry or not

ME: i am sorry ma ***i said as sat opposite her

EVELYN: you don’t have to be, it was my entire fault ***she said turning her gaze to me***

ME: no, it was not your fault but mine; i should have returned when i met you there

EVELYN: that would have changed nothing because you have seen me and there is nothing you can do to change the hand of time.

Besides, i shouldn’t have gone to the pool when i know quite well that you will be coming or i should have locked the gate so that you will have to knock before coming in

ME: but you have never locked your gate before. You don’t have to blame yourself but me and i am really sorry for that

EVELYN: you don’t have to feel bad over that because both of us are to be blame

ME: ma you don’t actually know how i feel right now, i really feel like i have did something terrible that i shouldn’t have done. It felt very awkward, i don’t know but i feel like i am not going to be able to stay here this evening because my conscience is blaming metoo much *** i said and made to leave***

EVELYN: Ben please don’t do that and don’t blame yourself for something that you are not at fault, just feel relax , i don’t have any bad thing in mind because of what happened and to tell you the real truth, i am not offended

ME: i know but i still have to go,, i blame myself and didn’t say that you are blaming me

EVELYN: your going will be the only thing that will offend me, so you better come back so that we can play some game before preparing something to eat
