Love me again - Season 1 - Episode 41

☆☆

“Commitment is like the tree on which the fruit grows, if you can’t don’t attempt”
I just finished doing some laundry, I insist on doing my own laundries

I got used to the African lifestyle during my Nigerian times
Since I got back the washing machine could rest
Was busy chewing on something when the bell rang
Opening the door, I saw Clyde standing there like he hasn’t slept in days


Clyde: Can I come in


Me: ermm yeah sure, i walked with him to where I was sitting earlier

I was stealing glances, checking him out
We sat for a while until he asked the whereabouts of my parents
Since they were not around, he just had to tell me what he came for


Clyde: So I will go straight to the point
If you will still have me, am ready to do this now

This house though am not sure, but I think you are right

Who would want to be with me after the harm I have caused

By the way I brought my things from the hotel
Is it okay if i move in now?

I mean if am going to spend my life in here, I must as well start right away

Babs say something, is this not what you want
Or have I said something wrong again?
I finally found my voice, I didn’t think he would do it, I admire him now more for this i was tempted to just take everything I said back,
But there is my family,
I mean this my decision is also about them, More about my own fears, and my insecure state than forgiving him


Me: Clyde I didn’t think you would even consider it

Ermm come let me help you with the bags, then we can talk

After what looks like 10 minutes, we were done
He didn’t bring a lot of things so it was quick, Am yet to make space for his stuffs
We sat on the bed opposite each other
With my hands hanging on my cheeks as if i was in a trance i listened to him as he spoke


Clyde: Am here now, what? And one more thing I wasn’t able to finalize selling of the business

How are we going to go about that?


Me: You know that’s a requirement for this to work

But thats fine, so far as it gets done
Am sorry too for doing this by the way


Clyde: I understand you can’t trust me now

And so sorry for walking out on your family, I love you Babs,

Nothing will change that not even your Dad, He then came closer, held me in a tight hug I couldn’t help but let the tears flow


Clyde: Its’ okay, we are going to be fine
In the evening we finally had that talk with my Dad,

Which from every indication shows he has no plans of giving up

I understand him sometimes; when you think you are impotent and out of the blues after 9 good years you are blessed with a beautiful girl, you would want to be over protective
Throughout the conversation, he made small talks
Like; so far as you are happy, i will be watching closely
He better not do anything Funny
Who would have thought, I would be sleeping on the same bed with Clyde
We have been sleeping on the same bed every now and then, sometimes I take the couch
During the day I go to work, whiles he stays home
Once I make sure he has food to eat,
He likes my meals so no laziness this time
He tells me he stays in doors, which is beginning to be boring, He can’t stand my dad’s attitude,

mum however has been helpful
