In love with the housegirl - S01 E10

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 10

Mrs. Ola walked past me while I was cutting grass out of the compound to get the pads. she pointed her 5 fingers at me as if to say “my mama”. I still felt bitterness for Mrs. Ola for what she was making me go through. I hadn’t come up with a plan on how to get back at her without anyone suspecting me but I was definitely going to do something. She had drawn a battle line unknown to her.

The new lady came outside and sat on a stool to watch me work. She put on a mini gown and crossed her legs, exposing her brown beautiful melanin ties. I hate to admit it but the woman wasn’t looking bad. She was a short, chubby woman who had dimples that revealed themselves especially when she smiled

“You are the hardworking type.” She said as she observed me

“N-no…sorry, yes. I am a man. Besides, i grew up in the village where farming was the main economic activity. And being the only son of my parents didn’t make things any easier” i replied as I squeezed out a smile.

“Relax okay, am friendly. Feel free” she said, waving her hair to the back of her head. So which village are you from? She kept interrogating

“Am from Ommuna” I replied, trying to bore her away from the conversation. I didn’t want to answer more questions because I suspected where the interrogations were heading

“I better get going. Am done for the day, ma” I added and went into my room. I took my bath, freshened up and sat on my bed. I wondered how Anne was fairing. I had not heard from her since morning. I need to tell this girl how I feel about her! I can’t conceal my feelings forever” I thought to myself. I heard a knock on my door few minutes later. My gosh it was Anne.

“What are you doing here? And what did Mrs. Ola do to you after discovering you were giving me food? I asked, all excited.

“I came to check on you. And about that, she yelled at me and that was it” Anne said and brought out a wrap of paper from her cooks-wear which had a large pocket in front of it. In it was fried stuff, akara, suya and noodles. Tbh, I was starving.

“Oh, Anne, what would I do without you” I asked, collecting the items.

“Mmm, I think, nothing. Hahaha. J-boy quit asking that!” She said in a casual manner.

“Anne, there’s coolval Stories something I want to tell you. I’ve been holding it in for a while now. I think it’s best I air out my mind. I love you! This is something I’ve never told anyone before” I said, staring into her eyes…

“I…i better start going. I’ll see you later. She said as she escaped from my grip and ran out of my room.

I was in disbelief. Thought she loved me too!

“Gosh, am so stupid! Why am I rushing things!… I said as i fell on my bed, disappointed in myself.

I stepped outside to get some water and i met Mrs. Ola’s sister. She was the last person I expect to meet

“Can we chat for a bit”? In your room? She asked.

“No. Just say it here” I replied.

“You’re quite handsome for a gateman. Do you have a girlfriend?” She asked me. I was surprised at the guts she had. I mean, she just came not too long ago.

“Well, I don’t. why?” I asked.

“Because I want you to be mine”. I kept quiet for a bit, wondering what she meant..

“Please don’t say no. I will change your life for good. I will give you whatever you want. shola added as she drew closer to me and planted a kiss on my lips. Her lips were soft and natural. She was a good kisser. I wanted her to stop but she was kind of irresistible.

Then I heard a bowl fall down. I turned and there was Anne. I had no idea how long she had been standing there but all I could see in her eyes was heartbreak and disappointment. Oh, my goodness, what did I just do? I thought to myself, looking at her….
