Must Read: Forever And Always

When my relationship with Kate was exactly four months old, Mitch set me up. She came into this very apartment we are in Tola, drugged me, stripped me almost Unclad and took different pictures of herself with me that depicted we definitely had S£x but we did not. Yes, I was drugged but I knew what happened. Just that, I was too tired to make a move. She showed the pictures to Kate. That lady was broken, she was torn. She didn’t know what to do. Whether to believe the man she had known for just four months or the friend she had known for almost ten years.” I paused and shut my eyes as memories of four years back did a flash back. I gulped down the glass of water before me and changed position. This time, I was facing Tola who was sitting on a sofa. She gestured to me to continue.

“Kate eventually believed me. She believed I was innocent. Fine, we had just been with each other for four months but those four months I was with her, I showed her nothing but love. She never had a cause to doubt me. No suspicion whatsoever. I was plain and transparent. I loved her so much, she gave me breathe. Why would I be double faced with someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with? “These days, there has been something fishy about Mitch, my love, I believe you. I wanted to believe Mitch but my heart really didn’t go with her and I follow my heart because it never misleads me” she had said to me, with a peck to my cheeks.

Kate choosing me over her angered Mitch.
She packed out of the house one evening without a word to Kate and never returned until after two weeks.

The day she returned, she barged into my apartment with a gun in her hand. She was looking ruffled, agitated and red with anger. Kate was resting on my laps on the rug as we had just finished eating a nice meal of rice and beans. It was a Friday evening. Anger, jealousy and hatred was boldly written all over her face. Kate fearfully came behind me, scared Mitch might shoot her. Mitch slowly moved forward and started pouring her rage. “Kate, what have I done? What have I done to you? Ever since you came into Queens’ college,You were always taking things I wanted away from me.

You started with teachers’ love and affection.
I used to be the apple of their eyes but when you came, you warmed your way into their hearts like the devil that you are and you became their best. Then you moved to my first love, Kelvin.
I know you remember so well how Kelvin left me for you in school. Still, I didn’t say anything.

[B]‘Maybe she is better than me’ I said to myself and let it slide. Many times you’ve taken love, fondness and affection from me, but I remained calm. Then months ago, you brought out the beast in me when you took Alex away.

I saw him first, I spoke with him first but he kept shunning me just because of you.” She stopped and moved closer. Pointing the gun to me first before pushing me away with force. “I won’t take it anymore Kate Collins” With that, she pulled the trigger.
