Must Read: A SECOND CHANCE - Season 1 - Episode 43

Alice felt her heart beat faster as she pressed the door bell. Rhoda who was in the kitchen left what she was doing and went for the door.

She was surprised to see the damsel her master had brought home the other day. She had been charmed by her beauty the other day but today she looked more beautiful in her tight amani jeans and a white lacy top, red small purse and a red casual slippers.

Her hair was smooth and well packed and her Tom-ford black orchid was perfuming the air.
‘good morning ma’ Rhoda greeted.
‘good morning. Is Tony home?’ she asked.
‘yes ma, come in ma’ Rhoda said ushering Alice in.
‘let me inform him of your presence’ Rhoda said and left.

Alice sat on the sofa. In less than five minutes time, Tony walked in dressed in black chinox and a red polo.
He was dressed so casually, one will know he wasnt ready for work that day.
‘Tony good morning’ Alice said rising on her feet.
Tony smiled at her and returned her greeting.
‘i was actually expecting you this morning’ Tony said with a smile.

Alice laughed a little.
‘lies!’ she said.
‘i’m serious’
‘then you must be a prophet!’
‘i am’
They laughed.
They spent quality time together and they found out they really loved each other’s company.
Alice left by 12noon leaving Tony alone in his thoughts.

He picked hid phone and dialled Stella’s number.

‘sweetheart, are you still going to throw your birthday party?’ Abby asked a confused Maria.
‘i dont know Abby, i and my dad are not in talking terms right now so i’m not really sure that the party will really hold’ Maria said with a puzzled face.

‘calm down dear. Your birthday is still two months away. Before then, look for ways to make up with your dad. You quarelling like cats and rats wont solve a thing.’ Abby said with an encouraging smile.
‘by the way. Whats keeping Susan, just to go and get snacks from the canteen is taking her more than thirty minutes.’ Maria said.
‘she now has a boyfriend you know’ Abby said and Maria chuckled.
‘who is he? Chuks?’
‘yes ooo. We are the only ones left out now oo’
‘dont worry, your heart throb will soon ask you out’
‘get out jor!’ Abby barked and Maria laughed.
‘just say it, you love Henry dont you?’
‘to hell with you. As if i dont know that you are dying for Henry too’ Abby said and chuckled.

Maria laughed. ‘he was my crush Abby not longer’
‘abeg fash jor! Miss pretender’
‘eh, make e be’ Maria said and they laughed out loud.

Tony sat down on his bed figuring out what to wear to work the next day when a light knock appeared on his door.
‘come in’
The door gave way slowly and Maria walked in.
‘what is it? Have you come to tell me what to do and what not to do in my own house?’ Tony said.
Maria fell on her knees immediately.

‘i’m sorry dad. I am really sorry for being rude these past few days, i dont know what came over me, please forgive me’ Maria said sobbing quietly. ‘it will never happen again’
Maria cried the more. Tony looked at his angel, his beautiful daughter, he took her in his arms.

Days turned into weeks and weeks into months as Tony and Alice kept getting closer and Tony and Stella’s relationship were at its c----x. They loved each other like hell.

Meanwhile, the occultists (Nneka and Fred) remained on the low key.

A contract took Gilbert out of town for the time being.
As Alice and Tony’s friendship grew, she began to feel funny whenever she was around him, she was falling for him.
