Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 30
#ANGELINA
Charlene appearance was like adding more fuel on a raging fire… Peter wasn’t pleased with her presence and so did my parents… The reason why my parents were displeased was because, she was useless in the house, she never likes to do any house chores and all she does is chat, snap and go out on dates with random guys… My parents couldn’t stop her because she was old to do what she wanted.. She is her own person and she’s old enough to do make decisions about her life .. But my parent’s biff with Charlene was not that much of an issue, In fact theirs could not be compare to the one between Charlene and Peter… These two despise each other so much that I think they’re could literally kill each other, Anytime they meet, They would exchange harsh words and Charlene was the one to blame, She would find Peter’s trouble and he wouldn’t tolerate her.
I couldn’t help but wonder why was the root cause of their eternal quarrel… Back coolval stories when we were still kids, I could remember the day Charlene came to visit for the first time.. She and I had gotten along and were like sisters but when she and Peter met.. There was fire on the mountain… Peter at that time wasn’t very conversant, apart from his parents I was the one he talks free with and since his first encounter with Charlene, he ignored her completely, even when we played together he would never for once talk to her or even look at her, I bet that was what got Charlene angry at Peter and since that day, she’s been tormenting the poor guy not realizing that’s how he is… Shy and nervous.
But recently things have been quiet because Charlene wasn’t always around cause she was a makeup artist and she had lots of work to do, I too also got busy practicing my dancing and workout regimen, Peter had nothing much to do so he accompanied me and watched me admirably as I did my thing… Our Convocation ? was weeks away and after that, I’ll be heading to Europe ??, So I decided to spend more time with Peter while I still can.
So one Tuesday afternoon around 3:00pm, Peter and I headed to the dance studio, so that i could work on my dancing.. As we got there, we realized there wasn’t much crowd like before, so this gave me more room to do which ever dance styles I wanted.
.
Peter ➡ Hmm.. The room is quite spacious today..
.
Angelina ➡ Yeah… Who cares anyway? This gives me more space to do my thing.
.
Peter ➡ Yes… But don’t over work yourself..
.
Angelina ➡ I know.. Alright.. Play the music babe.
.
Peter ➡ Okay.. Which one?
.
Angelina ➡ Anyone that has vibe…
.
Peter ➡ You know… I don’t groove this Nigerian music.. I only tolerate it because you like it and it’s what makes you to twist and bend..
.
Angelina ➡ (laughs) Quit joking around and play the music..
.
STOP!!!
.
Peter and I were startled by the sound, as we turned around we saw my dance instructor and owner of the dance studio, Mrs. Lilith.
.
Lilith ➡ Hello youngsters…
.
Angelina ➡ Mrs. Lilith.. I didn’t know you were here..
.
Lilith ➡ Oh I am.. I was in my office sorting out some files.. Hello Peter.
.
Peter ➡ Afternoon ma..
.
Lilith ➡ I couldn’t help but listen to your conversations… Peter.. Angelina here told me about your dislikes.. Why do you accompany her if you don’t dig this kind of groove?
.
Peter ➡ I like watching her dancing.. It’s mind- blowing..
.
Angelina ➡ Thanks ?.
.
Lilith ➡ I agree.. But While you’re here watching her… Why don’t you learn to dance?
.
Peter ➡ Sorry.. I’m not really into dancing?
.
Lilith ➡ I know.. But it would be good for you to learn.. You’ll never know when you’ll be asked to dance with Angelina at some event and it would be a shame if you can’t deliver..
.
Peter ➡ It’s no use… I can’t do all that break dance she does… My body is too stiff to something like that..
.
Lilith ➡ Don’t worry.. You don’t have to do anything fancy break dance or anything.. I’ll teach you the modern and civilized one..
.
Peter ➡ Okay.. Which one is that?
.
Lilith ➡ Have you heard of the Fox trot?
.
Peter ➡ Err… No!
.
Lilith ➡ Swing dance?
.
Peter ➡ No..
.
Lilith ➡ Waltz
.
Peter ➡ Yes..
.
Lilith ➡ Tango?
.
Peter ➡ Yeah.. I have..
.
Lilith ➡ Ballet?
.
Peter ➡ Of course.
.
Lilith ➡ Ballroom dance?
.
Peter ➡ Yep.
.
Lilith ➡ Folk dance?
.
Peter ➡ Yes..
.
Lilith ➡ Good… Lucky for you.. I can teach you all of them.. Which one would you like to start?
.
Peter ➡ I can’t dance… I can’t even dance a tune!
.
Lilith ➡ Don’t worry.. I’ll just show you the basic steps.. Let’s start with tango.
.
Peter ➡ Am I going to do it with you?
.
Lilith ➡ Of course let’s get started.
.
Peter ➡ Oh. Okay..
.
I went and took my seat and watched as Peter and Lilith took the dance floor, as soon as the music started.. They each began to dance.. I laughed so hard when I was how Lilith handled Peter.. She was just swinging him around and the poor guy was just tagging along trying to keep up with her,… I nearly choked because of laughter.. I even had to take a video of them dancing.. This was definitely something worth remembering.. After the dance, Peter began to walk as if he was drunk ?, the poor guy was dizzy, he found a dustbin and vomited ?, After that he collapsed on the floor.
.
Lilith ➡ Peter! You really are a very terrible dancer!
.
Peter ➡ I told you.
.
Lilith ➡ So what are you going to do when you’re asked to dance with your wife during your wedding day?
.
Peter ➡ Oh. She’ll dance by herself.. Oh Jesus.. I’m feeling sick..
.
Lilith ➡ Relax Peter.. You can become a good dancer within some weeks, you can begin with the basic steps… Luckily for you, Angelina can be your dance partner and instructor. She can show you the ropes.. So what do you say?
.
Peter ➡ Do I have to pay for all this?
.
Lilith ➡ Oh. You don’t have to.. It’s free.
.
That Afternoon Peter and I practised some simple dance moves.. But the ones he preferred was the Waltz, tango and swing.. It was fun that I was finally dancing with Peter… Too bad the European contest had no partnering event, Peter and I would have gone there together.
By 7:30 pm, Peter and I left the studio and went home, He had already mastered some dance moves and was looking forward to practising it with me. Minutes later, Peter and I arrived home.
.
Peter ➡ Hmm, finally we’re back…
.
Angelina ➡ Yeah.. Today was fun.. Wasn’t it?
.
Peter ➡ Yeah.. It was.. Hmm!?
.
Angelina ➡ What? ?.. Why are you staring at me like that?
.
Peter ➡ You look so attractive and tempting.. So yummy ?.
.
Angelina ➡ Oh….. Is that so? Well I’m sweaty and I look like a mess.
.
Peter ➡ No… No.. Not in my eyes you’re not.. In fact, you’re so s*xy when you’re sweating!
.
Angelina ➡ My God! Peter.. Is this really you?.. You’ve never said this to me.
.
Peter ➡ What can I say? You just look so captivating and I couldn’t just keep quiet.
.
Angelina ➡ Thanks buddy.. How about a kiss to show my appreciation?
.
Peter ➡ Sure..
.
Peter grabbed hold of my waist pulling me closer, his hands were tight and firm around me, I love the way he holds onto me like that, Just as we were about to lock lips, We were rudely interrupted by Charlene,.. The rotten b-tch ruined our moment by throwing a water balloon ? at our faces, Charlene focused her aim more on Peter as she bombarded us with throws from my bedroom window.
.
Angelina ➡ Seriously Charlene?… Was that really necessary?
.
Charlene ➡ Of course.. Haven’t you heard of social distancing?
.
Peter ➡ You miserable bitc…… If I get my hands on you..
.
Charlene ➡ You’ll what? You can’t do shit loser… Why don’t you move away from Angelina and go home? Your very presence irritates me.. Urh!
.
Angelina ➡ Peter don’t mind her..
.
Charlene ➡ Alright Angelina.. Get away from that trash… It’s getting dark.. And the trash collectors might come and pick up the trash soon, I don’t want them taking you along with him.
.
Peter was really mad in that moment, He walked away furiously back to his house, but not before Charlene threw another water balloon at the back of his head.
