Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 18

Sommy’s POV

When I went back to the office, I met a lot of faces that made me feel loved. They all claimed to have miss me and my humour specifically my bad mouth.

I walked towards my office then I saw Emmanuel Apapa waiting by the door. I turned over to Filda who gave me a familiar look, like I shouldn’t have come.

“Good morning Dr. Sommy” she greeted and I responded back

This time Emmanuel turned towards me with a smile on his face.

“He has been here for a while. I even sent you a text” she blinked her eyes and I looked at my phone.

I had three messages. One from Airtel, the other from 22345 and the final one was from Filda.

It said , “Emmanuel Apapa is at the office. I’ll try to send him off, don’t come yet”

“Oh” I said looking at her then I turned over to him.

“Good morning Emma” I greeted moving close to him for a hug.

“I hope you haven’t waited for too long”

“It hasn’t been up to twenty minutes” he answered.

“Let’s go into the office” I requested and we entered then I closed the door behind him then I rolled my eyes. I didn’t know what to expect.

I was shocked to see that the office has been cleaned up already.

“I heard you were fired?” He began and I nodded.

“I was”

“I came looking for you”

“Seriously?”

“Filda refused giving me your number and I’ve been calling”

“After I left?”

“Before you left actually and don’t pretend Sommy I know you were ignoring me with all intent” he slammed at me

This left me speechless. I didn’t know how to defend myself.

“I…” I stammered.

“Even with years apart, I know you so well.”

“Well it seemed like you wanted a relationship but I had a boyfriend” I paused, I had to come out straight with him.

“Oh… I couldn’t help but notice your use of had”

“We broke up”

“Why?” He asked,

“I hope I’m not being too forward”

“You are” I confessed and he laughed.

“He cheated on me”

“what an a*shole”

“I know”

“I’ll never cheat on a woman as pretty as you are” he revealed and I found myself blushing.

“The new hair looks hot on you anyway and D--n, you look really good” he added and I bit my lower lips. I’ve always been a sucker for compliments.

“Thanks. I’ve heard that before” I chipped in and he laughed.

“You’re still the same gloatful Sommy that would always rub salt on people’s injury”

“You were my senior, how come you still remember?”

“Do you know how many seniors felt like catching you and flogging your ass because of how annoying and spiteful your words were? They were like poison” he continued laughing as though remembering something.

“I never like you in secondary school. You were the annoying school prefect”

“Trust me, i wasn’t as annoying as you were”

“You had a legendary mango head. I used to call you mango head.”

“And now?” He asked moving closer to me.

“Nature definitely ended up doing a d--n surgery on you because you look…much better” I added and he laughed bringing his lips closer to mine.

“Are you seriously leaning in for a kiss?” I asked,

“It’s worth the shot. Are you going to let me in?” He asked and Juliet walked in.

I moved back then I glanced at her, then back at Emmanuel. He quickly took my phone then dialed his number on it. His phone rang and I knew an exchange had already occurred.

I was kind of embarassed that Juliet walked in that moment.

“I’ll give you a call later” he chipped in kissing me on the cheek. He waved at Juliet then walked out of the office.

“Was that the problem you said you had?” Juliet asked,

“That’s not worthy of being called a problem. Sommy he’s good looking”

“What are you talking about?”

“Don’t act dumb, I just walked into the both of you almost kissing”

“He was the one pulling the kiss stunt and I was about to tell him off”

“That didn’t look like the face of a person about to tell someone off”

“The issue i have is not with him, it’s with my client Bosco; you remember him?”

“I do” Juliet replied taking her seat.

“I don’t understand what’s happening to me” I said then I started explaining my anticipation to see him and how i felt at his office.

“Oh my God Sommy, you like this guy”

“Are you all smoking the same pot? I said I don’t like him, why are you all saying the same thing?”

“How many people said this?”

“You’re the third” I answered and she laughed.

“Sommy I’ll need you to stop being on the defensive side and for once, try examine yourself like the psychologist you are”

“I…but.i.” I stammered then gave it a thought.

“I can’t like him,”

“Isn’t he good looking?”

“He is… he’s very handsome and he has this smile” I explained biting my lower lip.

“He’s like one of those novel character, broad shoulders, tall, so good to be true character”

“So what? Sommy you’re single”

“He’s not, he has a girlfriend he adores. You should hear him talk about her. He’s so in love with her” I paused and my heart sank.

The thought of it broke my heart.

I finally got to believe it. I really did like him.

“Besides I’m not his type, he prefers the really curvy girls with big boobs and ass and girls with flesh” I paused,

“Maybe that’s the reason why Josh cheated” I guessed and tears rolled down my cheeks.

“Stop! Stop this! Joshua is an idiot. You don’t have to feel bad about yourself. Of all the people I’ve met, you’re the only one who has never been insecure about her body. I’ve always admired you for it.”

“I’m still the s*xiest woman alive” I bragged and she raised her hands for an HiFi and I clapped my hands against hers.

“That’s the sister I know” she exclaimed with so much excitement.

“What would you do about Bosco?”

“I don’t know. I’ll continue with his therapy, I can’t stop until I help him out”

“How would you curb your feelings?”

“Easy, I’ll take Emmanuel’s offer”

Isabel’s POV

Bosco woke very chippy. He took his bath, wore his suit and trousers. Did the needful and then dashed out of the house. I was left with his brother and Madam Jane.

Tasha walked into the house a minute later. She didn’t even knock. She had this confused look on her face.

“Did you see a ghost” I asked,

“No.” She answered, “Bosco barely replied my greetings.”

“He’s still angry with you”

“Well he should stop that rough play oh because I’m literally running out of cash” she confessed pouncing on the sofa.

“Why does he look so happy?”

“He has a meeting with his therapist”

“Male or female?”

“Why?”

“Answer the question, Male or female?”

“Female”

“And you allowed him have a female therapist?”

“Why shouldn’t I? I don’t go about telling him not to have female friends or workers”

“This one is different. It’s like making him find comfort in the hands of a female therapist. What if he falls for her?”

“Don’t be ridiculous, he can’t even do anything with her”

“Open your eyes Isabel, who cares if he can f--k or not?” she asked then hissed.

“All we girls care about is the money” she added

“Tasha I love Bosco for real”

I hate when she tries to insinuate I’m only out for Bosco’s money.

“Babe I’m just telling you to be careful because I’m talking as a girl, if not that you’re my sister, I would have stolen your boo since!” She confessed and I batted my eyes at her. Tasha has always been shameless.

“You know me, I don’t hide my personality. Don’t think for a second that this therapist doesn’t have a shot at snatching him from you”

“I….” I paused then I remembered when Rita at the boutique told me about him getting her clothes.

Tasha noticed my hesitation.

“What?’ she asked,

“There was this time he got her clothes because she got stained on her periods”

“You see! Babe you better start praying for the prophetic eyes that I have”

“It was just a nice gesture, you know Bosco has a big heart”

“Abeg make me hear! Sit down make pant they wear you”

“The first day they met, she touched his penis” I revealed. Her widened in horror.

“And Bosco allowed it?”

“He wanted to stop therapy but I told him to continue because I wanted him get cured. I was desperate”

“Abeg make we reason this thing oh, if you’re seeking help from a therapist for him to get an erection, if he definitely gets aroused, who would first of all feel it?”

“I’ve never thought of it that way”

“Isabel we have to see this therapist”

“I can’t. What would I say to her?”

“I’ll go then”

“No way Tasha, you’ll only make a scene”

“Abeg! What’s the name of this center?”

Sommy’s POV

While doing a psychological evaluation on my white board with my red marker, i thought of possible ways to ease Bosco’s therapy then I heard loud arguments from outside the office.

I recognized Filda’s voice, I listened in then heard Joshua’s voice. I dropped the marker then walked out glaring at him.

“What are you doing here?” I asked and he looked at me with a stoic expression on his face.

“You look really pretty” he commented and frowned.

“Dr. Sommy please tell him he’s not invited here and if he needs help, he should try going to a seminary cause it’s only God that can help him”

“This isn’t your business Filda?” He retorted back at her and she hissed.

“Come in Joshua” I welcome him in and she gawked in surprise.

“What!” She was disappointed too.

“It’s okay,I’ll be fine”

“I need air. I’ll be outside if you need me” she walked out,

“I hope by the time I come back I won’t have to see that human being’s ugly face!” She chipped in.

I entered into the office and Joshua followed me in.

“You have five minutes to talk and I don’t want to hear discussions like I want you back”

“Your new look is really working out for you”

“Go straight to the point Josh!” I snapped, “What do you want?”

“You! I want you” he answered moving close to me. Just when I pulled back, he pulled me closer in his strong arms. My bre*st pressed against his chest.

I tried to pull away but his strength was no match for mine. I raised my head at him. He had that grin on his face.

I’ve always been blessed with tall guys. There’s something about tall guys that turns me on.

“I miss you” he confessed,

“I don’t” I replied and he laughed in disbelief.

“Keep telling yourself that lie until you finally believe it.. I know you still love me as much as I do and I know you want to kiss me as badly as I want to. I know you want me in bed with you as much as I do” he whispered as brushing his hands against my arm.

“I miss the taste of you, your lips” he continued his emotional tactics to make me vulnerable.

He moved his lips close to mine and I dodged.

“I can’t”

“Why? Is there someone else?” He asked and i thought of Bosco and how I had wanted to get him off my mind.

“On second thought” I paused placing my hands on his cheek then I kissed him. His response was more urgent and demanding, filled with desperation and hunger.

He wanted sx. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around him then he carefully placed me on my desk. Then we resumed kissing. His hands began to undo my buttons while he cressed me.

Suddenly I heard the door creak. I pushed Joshua away the moment I noticed it was Bosco. He gazed at me with so much contempt then he stormed off slamming the door.
