Episode 5 : Betrayal Uncovered
I’m sorry… Lucy wait!! Peter followed me as I ran towards his gate.
Let me explain, it wasn’t intentional….
I stopped, turned and gave him a slap 👋.
How long have you been having an affair with Vicky?? How long?
More than a month now.
What?? You mean shortly after we started dating?? Why? What did I do wrong?
I’m sorry! She asked for it and she started visiting..
And you couldn’t respect me, you couldn’t tell her to leave, you gave in and started enjoying everything bit of it.. I can’t take this… stay way from me, you men are all the same.. full of lies, cheat and irresponsible.
I went back to school..
It’s true sarah,, I caught Vicky and Peter making out, they’ve been going out for months and I was clueless.. Vicky has betrayed me, after everything I’ve done for her.
I told you before about Peter, I sensed he wasn’t real when he started pressuring you for sex.. I’m sorry it has to be this way.. just cry it out..
What will I tell my parents?? They’ll laugh at me..they warned me but I didn’t listen.. 😭 two heart break in less than a year.. I’ve been such a fool..couldn’t read the signs.
But Vicky no try sha!! She wanted Peter all along and has been doing it on the low.. you have to caution her Lucy..
Vicky didn’t come home for two days, I guess she was still with Peter,, on the third day she shamelessly walked in.
Lucy! I’m sorry for what happend, it wasn’t intentional, Peter called and said you sex starve him all the time and he wanted to chill out, one thing led to another..
One thing led to another with my boyfriend?? I feel like strangling you right now… don’t say any word before I lose it.
Lose what?? What is it?? It’s all your fault you hear me,, all the time you come from his place what you do is to narrate how you guys went out, how he got you this, that, how beautiful his house is bla bla bla,, I wanted to see for myself and taste what you’ve been tasting..I thought I was sorry but I just realized that I am not.. Vicky said..
Wow!! Such boldness in my own house.. it’s fine.. you can have him..
Peter kept calling, he sent lots of apology messages, I ignored all..
He noticed I wan at replying, so he decided to visit me… I was inside crying after refusing to eat when he opened the door.
I’m soo sorry Lucy! I know I’ve disappointed you and your family, I broke my promise, forgive me let’s start all over again, I promise it will not happen again.. you’ve been soo nice to me, I didn’t mean to hurt you.
I told you the reason I broke up with my ex, Peter, this relationship isn’t up to 7months, you couldn’t cheat with someone I don’t know, no! You cheated with my friend, my roommate.. I’m done with you, continue your relationship with Vicky.. I don’t want to set my eyes on you again.. please leave..
I was damaged emotionally, drained physically… I couldn’t think of anything anymore, the sex scene between Peter and Vicky refused to leave my head… my pillow and bed became my ocean of tears.
Days later I drove out alone to a bar just to cool off and get my mind off what happened,,it was 30 minutes drive.
I got to the bar and ordered for beer and two packs of cigarettes 🚬 it didn’t take me 10 minutes, I finished the two packs of cigarettes 🚬 and orderd for two more.. I was smoking, talking to myself, crying and drinking..
It was like my world has crumbled before my very eyes..
Minutes later I saw a young guy walking towards my direction.. he took a pack of cigarettes 🚬 from my table and put it in his pocket.
Why? What for? I asked adjusting my seat 💺
I’ve been watching you for some minutes and I realized you’re sober, you’ve been crying and smoking since you got here.. you even talked to yourself.
How is that your business?
It’s my business, I will not let you keep destroying yourself cause of something that’s not worth it.
Hi! My name is Kenneth, Ken for short.. what’s your plight??
I’m Lucy,, My relationship is barely a year, caught my fiancé making out with my friend days back, I’ve been broken ever since. I don’t deserve this..
Your first relationship??
No, second… broke up with the first, still same issue..
Is that why you’re crying?? It’s just a relationship.. I’m sorry for that though.. you should go home, it’s already getting late..
I can’t go home, I just want to stay here for a while..
Ken spent some hours with me trying to console me..tears didn’t stop flowing, I suddenly developed fever and a headache..
Ken gave me his jacket and his handkerchief to clean my tears..
You have to go home Lucy, I’ll see you in the morning, and please do not smoke again, let me book a ride for you.
There’s no need for that..
Why??
My car is parked there, pointing to the direction of my car.
Oh! My bad.
I noticed he didn’t expect to hear that, then I realized he just a man trying to survive..
Did you drive?? I asked him.
No, I don’t have a car yet!! Can I have your number?? He asked bringing out his phone from his pocket.
Okay!!! I gave him my number and went back home.
I knew I had exams the next day but I decided to go home.. I couldn’t read and there’s no way I was gonna pass..
I got home with swollen and red eyes,I had reduce weight too.
Did you hit the gym? Mum asked me.
Why are you having a swollen face??are you not supposed to be writing your exams today?? Dad asked.
I’m sick dad… I came home to rest.. where’s my sister?
She’s in her room.
I went to her room and told her everything that has happened.. my mum opened the door and handed her lil towel to me..
Did you hear anything mum?
I heard everything, I knew something was wrong! Lucy we warned you.. your dad need to hear this..,
Follow me….She dragged me downstairs to meet my dad.
Your daughter has been cheated on again… mum said to my dad.
I knew it will happen but not soo soon, no wonder Peter hasn’t called me..
You decided to leave school to be with a man that doesn’t know your worth, I told you about not rushing into another relationship, but no! You want to keep having boyfriends.. it’s not a death sentence to be single.
You need to focus on yourself, do not let men destroy you,
Aside the romance and gifts what has he impacted in you??nothing..
I warned her about Peter too dad… miracle my sister said giving me a disappointed face.
I won’t arrest Peter but stay away from him.
Go to your room and cry, don’t cry in my sitting room..
Days passed, I was still sick.. everything that happened was still like a shock to me..
I had to call the school authorities concerning my exams..
My dad called for a meeting, peter and his parents were present, including Vicky.
I explained everything that happend, peter parents were disappointed…. Peter Knelt down to apologize to me.. Vicky apologized too, but it was too hard to forgive them soo quick.
Henceforth, Peter and my daughter are no longer in a relationship, this is not the type of man I want for my daughter.. A man that can chase anything for pleasure..
as for you Vicky, you betrayed your friend, I want you out of Lucy’s house in school immediately..
Please sir! Lucy please help me beg your father, I have no where to go..
Dad just allow her stay,, but tell her to avoid me and my stuffs..
Peters parents pleaded…
Lucy: are you still interested in Peter?? Dad asked.
No dad, I’m not..I can’t forgive Peter for what he did to me… he used me, he lied..
You may leave my house this minute..
They finally left and my dad wasn’t happy about everything.
No more relationship till you’re mentally ready, and I do not want to hear or see you speak about any man… you have to face your studies and forget about anything called relationship… I guess you do not want me to deal with you.
The day you bring a man to this house to disrespect me is the day I’ll lock you up..
It’s okay! Lucy doesn’t need all this now, she’s in pain.. my mum said.
With all this that has happend do you think I’d want to venture into another relationship?? I keep learning the hard way… and it’s not my fault..
I’ve heard you dad.. I’ll be single till I am ready..
Go back to school, you’ll rewrite your exams.. I called the school authorities..
She can’t go back now! She will not be able to concentrate.. my sister said..
For few days I had my mum and my sister by my side encouraging and consoling me..
I went back to school.
Ken kept calling to check on me, I wasn’t ready to have a boyfriend let alone have a friend, I was scared of communicating with guys, I wasn’t comfortable with kens call, afterall he doesn’t look like someone that has money.. sometimes I pick his call sometimes I don’t.
Can we go out? I just want to see you again..
I was trying to be hard, but he didn’t give up,, finally I accepted and sent him my school adress..
He came… I wanted to drive but he insisted in ordering a ride for us..
Even though I need a man to play with not a man that cannot afford a car.. I said to myself.
We got to a bar, I brought out my cigarettes 🚬 that’s the only thing that gives me joy after Peter cheated on me.
You shouldn’t be doing this you know..
Don’t make me leave please.
I’ve read about you and I discovered your family is of a very high status, that’s nice..
Soo… my parents are rich, it’s not my fault….why are we here?
I just like you and I feel we have this connection.
Im not ready for a relationship..God knows what you want… aside sex is there anything you want from me?
Peter and my ex really taught me not to trust any man..
Im not asking you for a relationship, maybe we should get to know ourselves first, then,along the line we can start a relationship..
What do you do?? You can’t take care of me Ken.. don’t stress it, besides I am not trying to be rude but we can never be in a relationship.. I can’t even take you to my parents.
I just want to be your friend for now.. talking about taking care for you, uhmmm… I can’t tell you what I can’t do, but I know I can try my best.. I’m still hustling trying to make ends meet…
That’s it… I can’t… let’s not proceed further please… we’re friends let it be this way…I can’t settle for less… I’m way too expensive for you…
It’s fine!!
Still have any feelings for Peter??
I don’t know! I really do not want to talk about it.. I think I need to go now… thanks.
I got back to my apartment, called Ken and apologized for sounding soo rude to him, I wasn’t happy at all..
During weekends, Ken will always visit.. and sincerely speaking I began to enjoy his company and I started to feel loved again… he was a good friend who I could always talk to..
3months later he invited me over to his house..
I got to his house, it wasn’t what I expected.. it was a one bedroom apartment… not everyone was born with a silver spoon, Ken works hard for his money..
I sat down in the sitting room with him..
Few minutes later his mother walked in..
I recognized her, she was that old lady Peter had Issues with..
I greeted her… she stared at me for a moment and said.
Ken! She’s the woman I told you about….
What??
She came close to me and said, I told you’ you will marry my son, I told you that man will not marry you, it was written all over him.. where’s he??
We broke up ma..
Wait! Lucy! You mean you were the person that gave her a lift? And you’re the lady she keeps telling me to marry.. wow..
I already know you’ll meet her soon… you’re dating her already??
No mum! She’s my friend..
I need grandchildren… please tell her to marry you. Ask her to be your girlfriend, why are you delaying??
She’s not ready yet mum!! And I can’t take care of her financially..that’s what she told me.
My son takes good care me, soo why would you say he can’t take care of you? Anyway you’re a perfect match, money cannot buy love if it can that your boyfriend wouldn’t have cheated on you..
I was speechless, does it mean this woman is seeing my future already??
She went to the kitchen and prepared food for me to eat, she was treating me like a child and it was somehow..
She pleaded with me to spend the night with Ken.. I was skeptical about it, but her constant plea made me agree.
It was already 7pm, I had my bath, kens mum already dressed the bed, I did not know if she was expecting me and Ken to have sex.. the way she kept pushing him to the room was suspicious.
I can’t find my cigarettes 🚬 where’s it?
I hid it Lucy..
Please, give it back.
You’re in my house and I am no longer comfortable with this… you’re a woman for Pete sake, why are you letting a man damage you? The Peter in question may be enjoying himself with your friend or someone else..
You can have the cigarettes 🚬 I’m sleepy already… I said.
Ken didn’t sleep in same room with me, he slept with his mother in the living room…
The next day his mum woke up very early, she did the dishes and prepared food again…
Why is your mum acting this way???and why is she up so early..
She’s leaving today.. she’s going back home.
Oh!!!!! Okay.
Can I say something ? Ken said holding my hand.
Yea!!
I don’t want to loose you Lucy, I know we’re not dating but, I feel you’ve already filled the empty space in my heart… let’s continue being friends….
I’ve had too many heart break, I really do not want any relationship anymore…
I understand you.. I am not forcing you.. take your time before making any decision, I know I don’t have the luxury and money that you have, but it still doesn’t make me feel less of a man…
You can’t afford my lifestyle, I agreed to sleep over last night cause your mum asked me to, I had to respect her Ken.. you can’t afford me I’m sorry.
I’m not talking down on you.. you’re actually hardworking and I appreciate you for that.. but we don’t and can’t blend.
I left Kens house….
Episode 6 : Struggling with Addiction and Emotional Turmoil
I got a call from Ken after I left his house … I was already getting tired..
Hello!! Lucy, you did something, and I would like to tell you… you left without telling my mother, that’s a huge disrespect, you knew she was trying to fix breakfast for you.. atleast you should have told her you were leaving…
I don’t have time for drama Ken, tell her I’m sorry, I needed to go…
Please, let’s not banter words, I respect you and I expect you to do same… thank you, I’ll see you in the evening.
There’s no need for that, I’ll be going home.
I’ll come home then.
No please.
Okay! My mother wants to see you Befor she leave..
Ken!! What, I don’t think I want to see her, Peter came with his parents and it didn’t end well, I do not need any closeness between me and your mother, let’s be civil please.
I’m not asking you to see her, she said, she wants to see you, soo it’s either you come back or I bring her to your place, trust me she will not leave without seeing you.
It’s fine!! You can bring her over..
What’s wrong Lucy?? Sarah asked.
It’s that guy I told you about, guess what, his mother is that woman I assisted when we were going home from the cinema, you know! The day I met Peter..
Oh! The old lady that said her son will marry you??
Yes!! And I had no clue Ken is her son, now she wants to come here! Sarah I am tired …
Well! You never can tell what the future holds for you.
Don’t start please, Ken is not as rich as Peter, I can’t cope with him,, I like him though but I don’t love him..
This house we live is bigger than his.. A big red flag..
Do you get attracted to men with money? Or …
No answer! Ken is a nice person but RELATIONSHIP? NO.. my dad will lock me up as he said.. he will be furious if he hears I am in another relationship.
Sincerely I can’t keep dating different people, I really need to calm down, my next relationship will not be short like the previous ones.
I think they’re here.
I welcomed them in.. Sarah served her a drink.
She started being dramatic.
I wanted to see you before leaving today, why did you leave without telling me? I believe your parents raised you well.
I am sorry ma, I was in a hurry…
Do you love my son??
No ma,, I don’t… he’s just a friend.No hard feelings.
That’s the reason I came.. it’s fine.. love is not by force… but be careful when choosing a life partner..Ken is not perfect but he is very responsible and reasonable.
Sincerely ma,, I can’t take him home to meet my parents, and I can’t date him, I am not disputing the fact that he’s a nice person, but he’s not really my type of man.. I’m sorry,, we’re better off as friends.
I understand you my child, My spirit accepts you and I prayed to God to give my son a woman that will love him for who he is.. I will still not stop praying you… there’s always a first time to try something new… do well to take care of yourself..
Do you have anything to say Ken??
No mum!! I’ve heard it countless times from her.. im not angry about it.. still doesn’t stop me from loving her…
Thank you for understanding Ken… you’ll meet someone that will love you soon..
It’s fine! Let’s go mum…
Lucy! You were soo rude to them, why??
I wasn’t rude I was being realistic, after what my exes did to me you expect me to open my arms and accept every guy that come into my life?? No way!!! I can’t… I don’t hate Ken but I don’t have any feelings for him… Even if it’s 1% no way.., it’s 0.00000”% Where’s my cigarettes??
Stop shouting!!! I understand you’re still hurt! 😔
I am! Peter broke my heart… I loved him…
I wonder why Vicky didn’t leave this house.
Where would she go?? Her parents have nothing.. we have separate rooms so it’s not a big deal.. she should avoid me totally.
Ken paid me a visit, saw me smoking and adviced me to stop smoking, he was doing too much… he tried to stop me but it wasn’t working……
I saw myself going to his house more often than usual… maybe it’s because I do not want to see Vicky..
Sometimes he drops his keys for me to Acess his apartment, and when he comes back he’ll go straight to the bathroom, and sleep..
One day he come earlier than usual and he saw me smoking and drinking, I wasn’t thinking of Peter, I was addicted..
He ignored me!! Went to his room.. came out, turn on his tv… I finished smoking and went to his room to take more cigarettes 🚬 from my bag…
I think you need to stop smoking in my house, especially in my living room and my room.
You visit me always and all you do is smoke and drink!! Do you know it’s not healthy? What if I have visitors? How do you want me to feel when they see you? Don’t you think your father will be angry when he finds out you’ve been destroying yourself?? When will you learn??
Lucy! I love you and I want you to know that you can always be a better person.
It’s an addiction and I’ll need time to adjust..
I want you to quit smoking..
I can’t!!
It’s fine!! I don’t have time to argue with you!!
You can’t argue with me!! Don’t feel you’re doing me a Favour cause I am always here in your house Ken, you’re nothing to me, you don’t even measure up to me,, I feel comfortable around you doesn’t give you the guts to tell me what to do,, I appreciate you are trying your best, but I can take care of myself..
Really???
Yes!!! A big Yes…
I’m sorry Lucy! I’m sorry..I didn’t mean to upset you..Let’s go out and eat..
Just take me home… I can’t stay here anymore..
I am sorry!!
Take me home Ken..
Ken booked a ride and followed me home..
I didn’t know if I was drunk but I embarrassed him in public, I even pushed him.. he was soo patient…
You have to leave Ken, Sarah said
I can’t leave,, I want her to be okay..
She’s fine!! I’ll continue from here, just go.
In the evening I woke up , Sarah narrated what I did to Ken, the abusive words I used on him and how I embarrassed him.
I regretted my actions, I wanted to apologize to him but my pride would not let me call him..
I went back to his house, pretended as if nothing happened… he didn’t talk about it too..
For the first time I slept on same bed with him, He wasn’t moved..
I stayed for several days, slept from same bed with him but he didn’t try to touch me, what he did was just to provide my basic needs since I was in his house, there was food…
I was expecting you to say sorry Lucy!! Why are you being rude?
I didn’t do anything wrong so why should I apologize 🤔
It’s okay.. you wouldn’t want to see me angry, soo I’ll just let it slide cause I love you..
I stayed for few more weeks cause we were on holiday…
One night he asked me if I have any feelings for him..
Ken, I don’t love you…I’m just comfortable around you.. that’s it. We’re not a match, I’ve told you before..
I love you,, I love you.. can you reconsider?? At least give love a chance, a trial… I’m going crazy..
Ken! It won’t work, I hope you’re not saying this cause you want to have sex with me??
Sex??? I’m not Peter,, wait! Do you think I want to get down with you?? You’ve been here for weeks and I’ve never asked you for anything…. I am not after what you have, I’m not after you for sex… I sincerely love you..
Let’s not talk about this anymore…. We’re better off as friends.
Okay!!! I’d want you to be around tomorrow, my friends are coming to my house for a house party….I want you to prepare something for them..
I’m not your maid, you can employ a cook for tomorrow’s party and pay her, I can pay her for you too..
It’s fine!!! I’ll get a cook tomorrow for the party Goodnight…
The next morning Ken went to the market, got the stuffs he wanted, came back and began to cook, he called me to assist him , I reminded him of what I said..”. I am not your maid”.
He called someone and a woman came,, she assisted him in cooking and arranging the living room..
I was in his room smoking and drinking as usual….
You have to stop this for today, I’m having a party soon and I wouldn’t want my friends to see you like this.
You can’t tell me what to do, I don’t. care about your friends.
I will not warn you again….
Is that a threat??
It’s not… be careful.
Hours later the party started, Ken and the cook served the food,, the party was cool, I could feel the heat from the living room…
He came, asked me to dress up as he wants to introduce me to his friends, I wore a revealing gown.
Can you change this gown? It’s too short and revealing..
No! I’m comfortable in it.. let’s go.
I followed him to the living room.
Hello guys:: this is Lucy, she’s my girlfriend…
Wow! She’s soo beautiful, his friend said.
I know her, she’s that rich man’s daughter, another said.
How did you convince her to date you??
Actually: he’s not my boyfriend, he just lied.. we’re friends… i can’t date him..I responded.
I thought as much:: did you prepare this food??
Noo,, im not a maid, Ken and his cook prepared it…
It was an embarrassing moment for Ken but he acted cool though.
I brought out my cigarettes 🚬, sat down and lit it..
She smokes?? His friend asked.
I don’t know…. Ken replied..
Ken was trying soo hard to control his anger, but then he lost it..
He asked me to follow him to his room and help him get something….
I innocently stood up and followed him..
He locked the door and unleashed his anger on me..
What was the meaning of that?? What is wrong with you??
I know we are not dating, but it was soo embarrassing,, you disgrace me all the time you,talk back to me you don’t respect me,, I asked you not to smoke and what did you do? You refused to listen, you brought it to my living room,, look at what you’re wearing, what point are you trying to prove?
Don’t talk to me like that Ken.
Shut up! Just shut up…. I’ve respected you enough, you keep saying you’re not my maid, I only asked for your assistance..
when my friend asked if you were the cook!! Simple English, No I’m not or yes!!! You told them you’re not my maid.
Have you ever done anything in this house? Have I ever asked you to sweep, clean cook or do my laundry?? I have not..
You mess my house up with your constant smoke and drinks, I still come back to clean up your mess and what get back In return, a huge disrespect…
You keep saying you’re not my girlfriend, if you’re not what are you always doing in my house?? Just tell me..
You look down on me for no reason, Ken you can’t do this you can’t do that, I can’t date you.. wtf!!
You disrespected my mother..
I’m tired of you and all your talks, I am tired of your attitude, the embarrassment is too much for me to handle, my friends will definitely mock me..
You’re right Lucy, we can’t blend..
You know what!!! You need to leave my house..
What?
You heard me Lucy, you’re not my girlfriend, my girlfriend is the person that’s suppose to sleep on my bed not you.. I don’t want to see you in the living room..
You can leave after the party..
Ken opened the door and left.
Episode 7 : The Unexpected Friendship
Party was over, Ken cleaned his living room alone, while I was in his room trying to figure why he said all those things to me,, the last person that scolded me was my father, why would ken scold me just like that for no reason, he even asked me to leave his house after the party…
The party is over is ove Lucy, Ken said handing my bag over to me..
You really want me to leave???I asked him.
Yes… I’m trying to order a ride for you..
It’s late, I’ll leave in the morning…
Fine!!
I left his bed and slept on the floor, I was sad..
Lucy, there’s enough space on this bed, you can sleep on the bed, I really do not like where you’re sleeping.
I’m fine here, you already said your girlfriend is the only person allowed to sleep on your bed..
I’ll just go to the living room to sleep, I am too tired for another drama, when it’s time for you to leave, please leave…
Then I realized he was being serious, I thought this guy said he loved me,, was he joking????
In the morning I woke up, carried my bag, ordered my ride back to my apartment in school..
Ken called me to know if I’ve gotten home anyway….
What happend Lucy??? Sarah asked.
It’s Ken.. he asked me to leave his house, can you imagine!! He wanted me to leave last night..
What did you do??
I don’t know what I did…
You must have done something..
I narrated what transpired.., after telling Sarah I realized I’ve been such a fool and too arrogant…I didn’t know what I was thinking
Did you apologize??
No!!! I didn’t, I thought I was right.
Sooo, are you sober??? Do you regret your actions??Sarah asked.
I feel bad!! I didn’t mean to say those words, I gues I was angry, maybe I feel all men are same..
You shouldn’t let what happend between you and Peter spoil your friendship with Ken..Has he pressured you to do anything??
Not at all!! What should I do??
Nothing!! Just apologize to him.. since it’s not a relationship misunderstanding..
I’m scared to call him!!
The choice is yours…
Ken stopped calling me, the only thing he does was just to send a text “ hope you’re okay””. At a point he stopped sending text messages..
I thought about the nights, despite the fact that I am always in his house he has never asked me for sex, he is soo concerned about his body, he barely sleep close to me… the boundaries he set was too much.. unlike Peter that normally touched me at night and refused to call me cause I denied him sex.. Ken was just different..
I was depressed and wanted to apologize for everything I’ve said.. I wanted to make it up, if there’s anything I hate is “the silent treatment””
I began to miss him for no reason..
I called him and told him I wanted to see him.. he said he didn’t want to see me.. I pleaded and asked to see him.
Lucy, I do not want your drama, I’ll come over myself to visit you so we can see.
Ken please, let me come over..
He finally agreed..
I’ll be going to see Ken today…
Why???
I need to make amends, he’s really ignoring me and I don’t like it..
But you guys are not dating, why are you angry he’s ignoring you??
I don’t know.. I’ll see you in the morning..
I got to kens place.. his facial expressions says it all, he wasn’t happy to see me..
Why are you here?? He asked.
Ken, I’m sorry 😞 I came to apologize to you for everything I’ve done, every words I’ve said, I was wrong, I never meant to upset you.. let’s be friends again..
I was hoping you’d apologize that night so everything will be swept under the carpet, but no! You went home and waited for days to come to your senses??? Lucy look!! You were playing with my mental health, I tolerated you for days, weeks, but you saw me as a nobody..
If Peter is the man making you soo arrogant and disrespectful, I guess you should work on yourself first before we continue this friendship..
Don’t bring Peter to this please,, I am sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you or make you feel bad..Forgive me!! My mental health is also dealing with me..
Why did you stop calling me?? You hate me now??
No, I don’t.. I stil Love you.. but we’re not compatible… that’s what you keep saying.
Ken!! I am sorry.. I appreciate your care, I deserve anything you want to tell me now.. I’ll accept it.
It’s fine!! I just wanted you to change,, I miss you.. I forgive you too.. we’re friends, you’re free to visit anytime, anyday..
Can I be the person to sleep on your bed??
You can always sleep there..
There’s food in the kitchen, just incase you’re hungry..
I got a call from Peter…but I ignored it, he called nonstop..
Pick your call.. Ken said.
I picked, and what I heard was his mothers voice..
Lucy, please I want to see you.. Peter hasn’t been himself since you left him, he is really sorry,, let’s try and see so we can talk things over..
Peter still loves you.. he wants to talk to you.
Lucy, I am really sorry for my behavior, I miss you, I miss us, I still love you.
It’s okay ,,I’ll see you tomorrow* hangs up**
You really want to see them?? Ken asked.
I don’t know yet!!!
It’s okay, he’s still apologizing to you, you guys can actually work it out together, I feel you still love him.. afterall we’re friends, so it should freak me out..
Ken, you’re right.. I have to forgive him.. afterall no one is above mistake….. and again.. thanks for accepting me back as your friend..
I saw the disappointment in Kens face.. he was sad..
How’s your mum??
She’s fine.. I think I’ll sleep in the living room..
Sleep here with me please… I’ll be able to sleep very fast…
Sooo, are you still going to accept Peter back??
I’ll decide tomorrow, for now I do not know, even if I want to accept him back, I’ll have to convince my parents to accept him… I loved Peter Ken,, but he really broke my heart..
If you still love him you can always accept him back,, he is Lucky’…
Episode 8 : Lucy’s Dilemma
One thing about Ken is this.
He doesn’t open his body, I haven’t seen his bare chest before, I don’t even know how his body looks like, he has always been soo conscious of himself, most times when I want to use the bathroom, he’ll end up leaving the room…
I began to wonder if he was gay, cause Peter and my ex couldn’t resist me each time I am half naked,, they’ll just be like “” I want to eat you up right now””. I have the perfect body figure that every man wants, I get soo many applauds for my physique, many proposals…
Men they say. “ are moved by what they see “but Ken is different, maybe he doesn’t find me attract or he has been controlling himself,,
It was time to leave kens house. I was reluctant about leaving, i wanted to stay more days but his constant reminder of my appointment with Peter and his mum was a huge turn off.
I got dressed, he stared at me for a moment and asked me to go change….
I had to change cause, I wasn’t ready for any misunderstanding between us..
I got a call from Peter, and it was on speaker…
Lucy, I really miss you, I’m ready to do anything to get you back! Where are you??
I’m in my friends place, when are you coming??
I should be in your house with my mum in the next 15 minutes… I’m driving.
No problem, see you later then * hangs up*
Ken I need to leave now, I stood up trying to take my phone charger..
Okay! I hope you and Peter get back together, I feel you still love him, it’s painful though, but it will pass, I’ve ordered your ride, I think he’s already here.. Ken said opening the door.
Thank you for everything Ken..
I got home and less then 2 minutes Peter and his mum arrived.
It’s was a moment of apology form Peter and his mother, I saw the sadness in his mums face and the regret in peters face..
He blamed Vicky for seducing him.
I blamed him for not being able to control himself, for lying and making me smile, using me for his constant pleasure, just few months of dating and having sex with him under pressure, Peter made sure he sleeps with me anytime we see each other, It was tiring and draining but I had to do it cause of him. I was actually pleasing a cheat, giving him my body for him to explore..
I was soo angry that I began to unleash my anger on him..,
Coming to meet my parents to make our relationship official was as a result of for him to have the full license to have countless sex with me is a damage to my mental health, my emotions were dealt with..
You actually thought I wasn’t going to find out your affair with my friend?? Barely months dating you, you disrespected me, invited my friend over, lied to her I was sex starving you,
You even slept with her on same bed we make love, I saw you Peter, you were vibrating and enjoying every bit of Vicky,, worst of all is you didn’t use protection.
What if she have a disease, and probably I get infected?? What if she became pregnant??
It didn’t occur to you??
Mum! I love you but I no longer love your son!!
He has damaged ne already! I told him the reason I broke up with my ex, the first person in my life… and he repeated same thing with my friend!! I am sorry!!! I’ve moved on….
I wanted to spell it out to him so he will not call me or disturb me again…
Peter you’ve lost a good woman! His mum said crying…
Lucy! I love you from the first day he brought you home, I never expected this from him… you’re still my daughter, I can’t forget everything you’ve done for us from your heart.. do not abandon me cause of my son
I won’t ma, you didn’t do anything… Peter should stay away from me, my dad had to control himself cause he knows I’ll be hurt, if not he would have dealt with Peter himself..
Lucy, please . I can’t leave you, I am sorry..
You should leave… do not call me again..
Peter didn’t stop begging, he knelt down, but it was too late,, all I could think of was Ken,, I know he may be feeling that I’ve accepted Peter back and probably hurting.. but I already know I wasn’t gonna accept Peter..
I had to act that way cause I wanted to see his reaction,, he made his feelings known but he actually didn’t stop me from making my choice
Three days later I went home and told my sister all about Ken, our misunderstanding, the cause, and everything.
Do you feel anything for him??
I do not know, I feel too comfortable around him… maybe cause he is too calm..
Remember you promise dad to remain single, he’s definitely gonna flame up if he finds out you’re in another relationship soo soon
He will not find out except you tell him.. I responded opening the fridge go get a chilled water.
By the way, is Ken rich???
Not really, he can take care of himself and pay his bills, you remember that woman I told you about? Ken is her son.
Really??? Well, I will not tell you what to do but I want you to be careful with men, you’ve gone through two emotional damage, what makes you think Ken will not cheat on you??
Hmm! Maybe, cause he is gentle, and I feel he is genuine.
I just want to feel loved miracle, I haven’t experienced what it takes to actually be loved by a man… it hurts loving someone and not being loved back.
It’s alright!!! But be careful, you can’t trust him yet..
Already one week and I haven’t seen Ken, no calls no texts, I felt like something was missing,I miss arguing with him and I miss him..
I didn’t call him, I went to his house, his door was locked, I checked where he normally drop his keys whenever he is expecting me and saw the keys,
I entered his room, dropped my bag and slept for some hours..
He came back and was surprised to see me.
You didn’t call to tell me you were coming.
You didn’t call me for a week, why?
I’m sorry, I didn’t want to offend you and Peter, I thought you were in his house after all the settlement.. he said dropping his bag and removing his shoes..
I’m not stupid Ken, I can’t take Peter back into my life, I think I’m Inlove with someone else.. but I am scared..
Have you told the person ??
Not yet!! See there’s something I want to tell you Ken.
Let me tell you what I want to tell you first, Ken said staring at me.
I know I am not perfect, I know I am not as rich as you’re, I felt bad when you went to meet Peter, I love you sincerely Lucy, I can’t sleep, I think about you every day… I really want you in my life..
Can I be the girlfriend you want to own your bed?? Can I be your soul mate?? I am soo comfortable with you, you’re different I’m soory for all the Misunderstanding in the past…
I really want to be the one you want me to be.. I don’t know if what I feel is true or real.. but I am sure I’d want to give love a chance, a trial with you…
Can I hug you?? My mother will be soo happy.. Ken said.
We hugged for minutes,, I felt I was home, I was expecting him to kiss me.. but he didn’t..
That was how my third Relationship started…
