Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 26

Sommy's POV

As i scattered the office in search of a free therapy card I got from a older colleague. I’ve been thinking and I realized that I needed some sort of counselling since he doubles up as a pastor and a therapist.

I thought of Bosco and how I had managed to convince Lawrence to hire another therapist to take up his therapy, I had to open up to him and he agreed.

When i saw Bosco walk in with that look on his face, two things crossed through my mind; either he was angry at how scattered the office looked or he had been informed about the new development.

Chat Martinmartino on zero eight one eighty thirty fourteen twenty one to be added to his whatsapp group.

“I got a call from the clinic that my therapist has been changed but I’m sure it’s all one big misunderstanding”

I made it known to him that it wasn’t a misunderstanding but he pressed on to ask me why.

“I realized that I can’t do this anymore.. The more I see you the more difficult it is for me to forget about you and I want to”

“Why?”

“Are you seriously asking me that question?” I paused,

“Bosco for starters, you have a girlfriend you love”

“I don’t want another therapist”

“Too bad, we’ll refund your money back”

“I don’t want refunds”

“Am I missing something here?” I asked,

“If you don’t want another therapist or refunds either, what do you want?”

“You” he answered then he moved close to me,

“I want you” he placed his palm on my cheek.

I shook my head trying hard to resist him, but before I could say Jack, his mouth as all over mine giving me his sweet kisses. I melted away after he wrapped his arms around my waist then he lifted me up placing me on the table.

Some books from the table fell on the tiles but I cared less about it

All I wanted was to drown in his kisses. Suddenly he started to undo my buttons.

This brought me back to my senses.

“Isabel” I muttered,

“It’s wrong, this is wrong. I’m no different from Joshua” i answered and i saw the disappointment in his eyes.

“I felt it again okay?” He announced and I quickly looked down at his trousers to notice some kind of buldge but there was nothing.

“It’s not a full grown bulge” he answered,

“It’s different” he added and I covered my mouth with my palm. I was shocked.

Was this how every pastor felt like after performing miracles cause I just performed one.

In my debate to prove how wrong kissing him was, Bosco called me a test subject which shed more light to my theory of him taking a liking to me to explore the possibilities of sex with me.

I made a promise to myself that my next relationship would be my last. I’m not ready to wound up with someone who doesn’t give ratass about me.

After so much apology for calling me a test subject, I sent him out of my office then I banged the door against his face.

I was thrown into another mood swing. His coming did serve a purpose though, I found the card I was looking for.

Everyone I told about Bosco’s offer to leave isabel felt as though I was stupid for rejecting it.

Filda walked in shortly after I slammed the door.

“Jesus!” She exclaimed looking at the office,

“What happened?”

“I was looking for this” I raised the card up.

“You do know you’re not going to arrange this in weeks”

“I’ll try”

“What happened between you and Bosco”

“What makes you think something happened?”

“Your lipstick is gone, I guess there was kissing involved”

I hissed dropping the card on the table.

“What’s up? He seemed really sad”

“I don’t need to explain again to you Filda, you should already know what happened”

“I wasn’t eavesdropping”

“We kissed and I sent him off”

“Are you crazy? I still don’t understand why you disagreed to the idea of him breaking up with his girlfriend”

“I’m not heartless”

“But you’re in love.”

“He doesn’t love me the way I do”

“Did you see the state he was in? I’m worried about him”

“Can we not talk about Bosco?” I requested and I saw her give a gentle shrug.

By past three or so, I received a call from Joseph who sounded unhappy.

“What happened, you sound…” I trailed off and suddenly I heard Madam Jane’s voice.

“Can you make it to Shalom clinic in let’s say ten minutes?”

“Yes… Shalom clinic is just around the corner but Why?” I asked,

“Is Joseph okay?”

“This isn’t about Joseph. It’s Bosco. We got a call a while ago that he was in an accident” she announced and my heart went faint.

Did I need to ask what happened. I shut my eyes in guilt.

“I’ll be there in five minutes” I answered hanging up.

I picked up my bag feeling weak. I rushed out of the office locking up the door with the keys.

“You didn’t tell me you were leaving early”

“I have to. Bosco was involved in an accident”

“Jesus!” Filda rose up,

“I told him he wasn’t in a good condition to drive. How is he? I hope he’s okay”

“Nigerians!” I yelled.

“I haven’t seen him yet and you want to know if he’s okay. That’s what I’m about to find out” I answered and she decided to follow me.

Isabel's POV

Since the last failed attempt to have s*x with Bosco, I have chosen other ways to spend my night and day with innocent. Most times, Bosco had bad timing of calling me when I’m busy with him.

Innocent called me up because he wanted to see me, he definitely wanted cash but I didn’t care. I didn’t plan on seeing him that day but the words he said made me h---y so I had to leave home over to the hotel.

The thought of what he might have planned out for the day excited me.

He kissed me the moment I walked in, we moved from kissing by the wall to the bed.

My clothings were all on the floor before I could open and close my eyes.

At the peak of my pleasure, the phone rang about twice. As much as I tried to ignore it, I had to pick up the d--n thing. It was a strange number.

“Hello” I answered covering a bed sheet over me, as though whoever was there could see me naked that moment.

“Miss Isabel, it’s Barrister Paul Jacob.”

“Good morning Sir!” I greeted,

“Actually it’s past twelve already dear. I called concerning John Bosco, your boyfriend, because I think you deserve to know”

“What?”

“He was involved in an accident”

“Jesus!” I exclaimed,

“What happened?” I almost busted into tears.

“Can you make it to Shalom clinic?”

“That’s not his family clinic”

“Well that was the nearest clinic he was moved to so….” He trailed and I panicked.

“Can you send me an address I’ll be there in no time” I answered then he hung up.

“Is everything okay?” Innocent asked and I shook my head sitting on the bed in shock.

I informed Tasha before leaving for the hospital.

I met Bosco’s mom at the waiting room.

“Good afternoon Ma” I greeted with my knee half bent.

“Where is he? What..what happened?” I stammered and she gave me that soothing smile then she held my hands.

I began to wonder why she was smiling. Mrs. Bishop has always been a kind to take things calmly.

“You look worked up”

“Where is he?”

“He’s fine, the doctors already attended to him; right now he’s resting”

“But..”

“Calm down Isabel, he’s resting. Just leave him to rest.” She demanded and I accepted with a sigh.

“What happened to him?” I asked and she gave me that smile again.

“It was just an accident” she added and I creased my brow in thought.

What could she be hiding from me?

Tasha stopped by afterwards to support me. I was devastated.

“What happened?”

“Car accident but we don’t know how it happened.”

“You still haven’t seen him?”

“I haven’t”I answered in anxiety.

I walked over to a doctor I saw talking to Mrs Bishop earlier. I grew tired of being in the dark.

Tasha followed despite my pleas for her to stay back.

“Good afternoon doctor”

“Not now, I’m busy”

“I won’t stop until you tell me what the hell is wrong with my boyfriend. What happened to Bosco?”

“It was a mild accident and he sustained a little injury on the head.”

“Wait” Tasha paused,

“Is this what everyone was making a fuss about as though it’s something terrible. I left my salon to come over to…” She paused after i glared at her. I closed my eyes in embarrassment.

“Please who is she?”

“My sister” I answered In shame.

“We all left our..” I cleared my throat,

“Business to attend to him. Doctor you should understand”

“I think you should ask Mrs. Bishop”

“She doesn’t want me to know please doctor don’t keep me in the dark”

“Bosco had a mild heart attack” he answered and I opened my mouth in shock.

“Are you sure about this? But he’s so young”

“Heart attacks are common among young adults too” he replied and I moved back feeling so weak.

“Can we see him?” Tasha asked and the doctor shook his head.

“He’s resting but you will as soon as he wakes up” the doctor answered walking away.

“Nawa o!” Tasha hissed.

“This your Bosco really carry problem come this world oh”

Bosco's POV

I opened my eyes to a room I didn’t recognize. My eyes scattered to study where I was. Then the smell suddenly hit me. That smell of hospital, that smell of iodine and methylated spirit and blood.

I was definitely in a hospital, the last thing I remembered was driving and feeling that striking familiar pain in my chest.

My forehead suddenly hurt, I raised my hands up to feel a bandage over it. I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me that there had been an accident and I was involved in it.

A nurse walked in shortly with a smile on her face. She walked out and I saw mom walked in.

“Good morning Mom” I said softly then I tried to sit up.

“Ouch” I groaned and she quickly moved closer to me.

“You need to rest, besides it’s afternoon already.”

“What’s the time?” I asked,

“It’s almost two” she answered and I fell into a pensive mood.

“I left Sommy’s office by past nine. I guess I had this accident to ten thereabout. I’ve had enough rest”

“How did it happen?” She asked and I shrugged.

“The last thing I remember was driving through the road and…” I paused, I didn’t want her to get worried knowing I felt the pain in my chest again. I haven’t had it in five years.

“How long have you been nursing the chest pain?” She asked,

“I haven’t had that in five years”

“And now?”

“Bosco we almost lost you today. If they didn’t rush you quickly, you would have been a dead man. Bosco you could have left me alone”

I saw the disappointment in her eyes.

“Have you been taking your medications?” She asked and I shook my head. I haven’t taken that thing in a year.

“How long?”

“For a year now, since I started dating Isabel”

“You’re still thinking about your siblings right and about your impotence” she assumed and I kept quiet just staring at her.

“Who’s your therapist and what is she doing? Is she even doing her job?” She asked and I scoffed.

“She had me transferred to another therapist”

“What’s wrong with her? Is she that incompetent? That was how she left the last time for ….how many weeks was it again?”

“I went there to rectify the issue but… Sommy can be really stubborn atimes”

“Change her then! There are several others that would”

“I don’t want another” I argued, and Mom quietly gaze at me suspiciously.

“I couldnt help but notice you’re on first name basis with your therapist?” She asked sitting on the bed with me.

“Is there something I’m missing?”

“We’re close”

“Bosco you better start spilling, what’s going on that i need to know?” She asked and I sighed.

She had me on a tight spot. I had no other option but to explain it all to her.

Isabel came in afterwards with Tasha. I felt happy to see her, I can’t say the same for Tasha.

To be continued…
