The Things Girls Do - S01 E06

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 6

Gloria’s POV:

Cynthia and Lucy were home when Bella and I returned. I was surprised none of them were talking. More surprising, they didn’t resturned back my greetings when I waved at them.

Cynthia was on her bed with her Bible opened before her, her reading glasses held on her face in a way that reminded me of an old granny in the early days.

Lucy sat on her bed, eyes darting away from me the moment Bella and I walked passed her. Something was wrong. The atmosphere smells awkward. These two were always seen on the same bed, talking and making noise. It rises my curiosity to notice the strange silence between them.

Bella fell on her bed, closing her eyes. My bed was just opposite hers but I wanted to talk to her.

” What do we do now?” I asked, sitting beside her.

” What?” Bella yawned with a hand to her mouth.

” About Rollins. Don’t you think we should let Priscilla know what happened today? I mean with Rollins and that woman.”

Bella stretched her hands over her head. ” That’s not necessary. The girl is still heartbroken. I don’t want to cause more pains for her. You don’t know with young girls these days. One stupid heartbreak and they’re taking it as if it’s the end of the world. Let’s give her some space.”

I stood up, sure she wasn’t going to stretch the topic anymore. Just as I was heading towards my bed, she called over to me in a soft voice.

” And please,” she whispered so that both Cynthia and Lucy won’t hear us. ” Don’t tell anyone about what happened between Rollins and I, most especially Priscilla. Can you do that for me?”

I was surprised at this. Why did she want to keeping it a secret?

” It’s alright. I won’t say anything.”

Just then, Priscilla barged into the room, jumping like an overhyped monkey.

” Guess what girls?”

Everyone glanced up to look at her. I’ve never seen anyone Soo happy before in my life. One look at her and I knew something had happened.

” What happened to you? You look like someone who just ate an electric dinner,” I inquired, approaching her.

Priscilla sat on Cynthia’s bed and faced everyone with a happy face.

” I’ve got good news,” she chanted excitedly. ” Really good news.”

She paused for effect, it caused an unpleasant silence in the room. ” I’ve finally recovered my school fees.”

This broke the silence and everyone began bombarding her with questions.

” That’s good news,” Cynthia dropped her Bible and drew nearer to her. ” I’m Soo happy for you. I knew you’d get the money back. You just have to believe.”

Priscilla smiled. ” Yes and thank you for your prayers. It went a long way for me.”

Then Lucy interrupted. ” But then again, how did you get the money?”

Priscilla didn’t hesitate. ” My bestie gave it to me.”

This got a frown from me. I even noticed Bella raising her head from the bed.

” Your bestie?” I asked.

She nodded, smiling. ” He sacrificed his school fees so that I can pay mine.”

” Aww, what a nice guy,” Cynthia said. ” How thoughtful of him.”

” That’s a hell of a sacrifice. Who’s going to pay his school fees now that he’s given his to yours?” Lucy asked.

” He says he’s going to hustle it up. Frank always have a way around things. I’m certain he can recover the money back one way or the other,” Priscilla answered.

This wasn’t what I wanted to hear. I wanted to say something but Bella said it for me.

” So he sacrificed his school fees so that you can pay yours? And he let you go without asking for anything in return?” Bella asked, sarcastically.

” Yes,” Priscilla replied, eyeing her oddly. ” Is there anything wrong with that?”

Bella laughed, sitting up to grab her bowel. ” No, nothing is wrong with that. Only that I’m surprised. A man sacrificing a money as huge as #200,000 without asking for anything in return, it kinda sounds weird to me. There’s a snitch somewhere in that story you just told but I can’t just figure it out.”

” What are you insinuating?” Priscilla asked, an edge in her voice. ” Are you implying that my bestie is corny?”

” Perhaps,” Bella poured her cereal in the bowl. ” I don’t trust men, Priscilla and this your bestie is no exception despite the sweet little sacrifices he made for you. I don’t believe he gave up his school fees to pay yours for free. No man does that. He wants something. All men do and that something is between your two legs.”

That was too direct, coming from Bella. I was even embarrassed.

” Oh come on, Bella” I said. ” Don’t you think you’re being—”

” Wait,” Priscilla slowly stood to her feet, cutting me off. ” Let her finish. What did you just say, Bella? That my bestie gave up his school fees to pay mine because he’s after my v*gina? Is that what you’re trying to say?”

Bella added water and sugar to her cereal. ” If that’s how you put it, then yeah. That’s what I believe.”

” Then you’re just as stupid as Rollins,” Priscilla barked, raising her voice. ” I can’t believe you are this cheap. I came home, crying about Rollins and how I lost my school fees over to him. Of all my roommates to comfort me, you alone opened your mouth to suggest I start sleeping with men to recover the money to pay back my school fees. You never offered me the money instead, you suggested I became like you and Gloria, opening my legs for strange rich men. Frank wasn’t like that. He’s a cute sweet boy and he cares about me soo much. Soo much better than you. To make it more easy for you to understand, Frank sacrificed his school fees so that I wouldn’t be kicked out of the examination hall on exam day. Did you hear? He sacrificed his school fees. Something you’d never do for anyone. The least I expected from you is to congratulate me for recovering the money but no, you just went ahead and began criticizing Frank, comparing him to the many man who had destroyed your vgina with their stinky pnis. No one goes scot free after insulting my best friend and you are no exception, Bella. Frank is not like your old sugar daddies. Frank is not like you neither. So shut up if you don’t have anything better to say.”

Priscilla’s outburst caused a grave silence in the room. I didn’t see that one coming and to be honest, no one else were as shocked as Cynthia and Lucy and I.

Bella was indifferent, as if what Priscilla said had no effect on her. She kept stirring her bowel of cereal without looking at her.

” Well, at least I’ve never caught any of my sugar daddies with another woman in bed.”

Priscilla’s eyes opened. ” What?!”

” At least, I wasn’t stupid enough to be sleeping with a man who doesn’t value me as his girlfriend,” Bella added.

Priscilla’s eyes hardened and her hands balled up into fists. ” Stop it!”

” At least, I wasn’t stupid enough to give a man my school fees and come home crying like a helpless baby,” Bella said, taking a spoonful of cereal to her mouth. ” At least I didn’t have to go begging to a bestie for money.”

” Bella, stop it,” I snapped, alarmed that a fight was about to break.

Bella raised her voice. ” At least, I’m never stupid enough to date a man who’s Soo lazy to work for himself but depends on his girlfriend for everything.”

” Bella, shut up!” Priscilla yelled. ” I said shut up!”

” At least, my old sugar daddies provides me with everything I need without asking questions. At least I’m not stupid to kill myself for a man that never loves me. At least I never dated a womaniser for two years,” Bella yelled back at her.

It Happened fast, before anyone could move a muscle, Priscilla had ran over to where Bella was and slapped her hard on the cheeks.

Bella fell on the bed, spilling her cereal on the ground.

” Jesus Christ!” Cynthia shouted and ran to restrain Priscilla. ” Stop it, what’s gotten into you?”

Lucy ran too and held Priscilla. I ran past them and squatted beside Bella. Bella sat up, holding her hands to her cheeks where Priscilla slapped her.

I turned angrily to Priscilla. ” Why did you slap her?”

Priscilla struggled. ” S-she started it.”

” You shouldn’t have slapped her,” Cynthia pulled Priscilla away. ” What you did is wrong.”

” Wrong?” Priscilla snapped. ” She was insulting me.”

” That still doesn’t gives you the right to slap her,” I confronted her, pushing her away. ” She’s not your age mate. No matter what she says, it still doesn’t gives you the audacity to slap her. You have to apologise, now!”

” I won’t apologise,” Priscilla spat back.

” It’s alright,” Bella said, rising to her feet. She took her bag, wore her shoes and left the apartment without looking back at anyone’s face.

I was Soo mad at Priscilla I walked up to her and pointed my finger at her. ” You’ll regret your actions for what you just did. You just wait. When the time comes, you’ll never forgive yourself.”

Cynthia’s POV:

It was 12:20.am. I was awake, studying my Bible after doing my midnight prayers.

Bella hasn’t yet returned back home since she left. Gloria was Soo mad with rage, she didn’t bother sleeping home either.

I had tried talking things over with Priscilla but she’s wasn’t in the mood to listen to what I had to say.

Nothing hurts more than seeing my roommates fight one another and this was the first fight I’ve ever experienced from them. I returned my gaze back to Priscilla, sleeping soundly on her bed next to Lucy’s bed.

Lucy.

My mind did a flashback to what happened today.

” Oooh Cynthia….yes….I’m coming,” Lucy had moaned my name while masturbating.

So disgusting. And with a cucumber? I’ve heard of dildos, I’ve heard of sex machines but I’ve never seen a girl m--------e with a cucumber.

Speaking of which, why would Lucy even m--------e with my name spilling out of her lips. I knew when one masturbates, he or she fantasies about an imaginary lover or something like that. Pastor Sam condems it, Calling it demonic.

But if Lucy’s masturbating fantasy was me, that would make her….a lesbian.

This was too much to take in. I’ve never encountered a lesbian before nor did I ever imagined my closest roommate to be one. Was this why she always slept in bed with me?

I became even more alarmed. Has she ever touched me in my sleep?

Dear God. Give me strength.

Suddenly, Lucy sat up and looked at me from the other side of her bed. One look at her and I became frightened. There was that scary large babyish looks on her face that sent a prickle on my back.

I instantly looked away, afraid of her.

Before I knew it, she’d moved all the way from her bed to where I sat with my Bible and stood before me.

Slowly raising my face to look at her, I noticed she was fidgeting uneasily.

” Umm… Cynthia. C–can I…can I sleep with you?” She asked in her girlie voice.

I stared at her, not sure if I was dreaming. My face was as white as snow. What does this masturbating lesbian want with me?

” No, you can’t sleep with me,” I retorted. ” Go away. There’s Priscilla. You can sleep with her.”

” But it’s you I want to sleep next to. I–I had another nightmare. It’s Soo terrible. Please don’t push me away.”

I have no idea where the courage sprang from but I began taking. ” I’d rather not have you talk to me again. What are you? Masturbating with my name. coolval stories I never knew you were this dirty. You’re a lesbian aren’t you?”

” Cynthia,” Lucy said, timidly. ” I can explain. It’s not my fault.”

” Not your fault?” I was surprised. ” Not your fault that you took a cucumber and was pounding it down your v*gina or not your fault that my name was spilling out of your lips while you masturbated? Who’s fault is it then? The devil?”

The way I spoke could’ve woken Priscilla up but Priscilla was such a deep sleeper. Once she closes her eyes, she’s as dead a log of wood.

Lucy’s eyes went down to her feet and her fingers began moving against themselves. ” The truth is….I’m in love with you.”

My heart chilled and my blood froze. This just seemed to never have an ending.

Lucy continued. ” It’s not my fault, really. You see, I schooled in an all girls high school all my entire teenager life. It was a boarding school. On my first night, some seniors came to we freshmen at the stroke of twelve and initiated us into some kind of cult. I never wanted to be part of it but I was forced into it. The initiations rituals dwells around having sex with our fellow girls. Other things came along with it but there you have it. I became a lesbian. Till when I graduated out of high school, I remained a lesbian. I was plague with nightmares because of what I’ve become through the cult I joined back then in high school. I’ve tried everything possible to stop it but it’s become part of me. I wish to stop but I couldn’t. When I met you and realizes how different you were from other girl’s I’ve met, I instantly fell in love with you. Whenever I slept beside you, all my nightmares disappears. There is this spiritual aura around you that takes bad things away from people. That’s why I grew Soo attached to you. I wanted to change but I needed someone like you to change me. I don’t want to be a lesbian anymore. I want to change.”

She paused as she strained to catch her breath. ” So please, I beg of you. Don’t push me away. I’ve suffered enough already. I don’t want this life anymore. I want to change. I want you to change me.”

I gaped at her and to my adverse shock, I saw tears welling up in her eyes.
