EPISODE 13 : Nancy’s Interference
I was still with my granny when Sam drove in!
The moment I saw him what he did played again in my head,I couldn’t even look at him,
You angrily dropped the call when I called you , why? Sam said.
Sam, you didn’t come here to pick up a fight with me right? I responded.
I didn’t come here to pick up a fight with you, I am just wondering why you would respond rudely when I called and asked to see you! What have I done? He asked.
I wasn’t rude, I just said if you want to see me you should come to my granny’s place, or have you done anything? I answered giving him a weird look!
I haven’t done anything but you sound like I’ve done something! Pearl, we’re supposed to be together today, stop making things difficult, stop trying to get angry with me over nothing!
I’ve been watching you since you came Sam, you didn’t even acknowledge my presence, didn’t you see me? My granny interrupted.
I am sorry ma, it’s just that I am just wondering why Pearl is acting weird to me! Forgive my manners!! Sam responded.
I’ll leave you both now! My granny said and left.
Pearl, are we going back home together?
No Sam, I want to stay here with granny, and I also want to visit my parents, I’ll see you but not today!
Pearl, I miss you already, I miss when you’re not close to me, can’t you see that I love you, I can’t control myself when I am with you! You love me too right?
I love you too Sam! But today is ruled out!! My granny needs me!
Please, just for tonight! Please!! Sam begged holding my hands!
I knew he will not keep pleading, so I told him I’ll pass the night in his house,,
He stayed for a while before leaving!!
What’s the issue between you and Sam? My granny asked again.
Nothing!
Pearl, you don’t talk to Sam like this, what’s going on? Don’t lie to me!
Granny,Sam cheated on me with Nancy!
Didn’t you cheat on him with mark? Why is Sam guilty? Ain’t you guilty?
Mine is different granny, I went to visit mark and we never had s*x, I spent two nights with him and he hasn’t never saw my n@kedness, we only k!ssed and I felt bad about it, I thought I was being a bad fiancé to Sam I never knew he has been cheating on me with Nancy,
Talking about Sam cheating on you with Nancy which do you mean Pearl?
I saw Sam having s*x with Nancy in his office immediately I left here,
What? My granny exclaimed in shock.
Yes granny, I couldn’t believe it, Sam never had any protection on, he was enjoying what he was doing,
Why didn’t you confront him?
Nancy is going to tell him about mark and he’ll blame me for traveling to see a man,
It doesn’t matter Pearl, you saw him in the act you should have confronted him, you need explainations to what just happened , Sam has disappointed me!
Well, I am not a saint and I am not justifying myself , But he went to far, he should have done it with someone else not Nancy! Nancy sleeps around what if she have disease ? Sam would just transfer it to me! I wish I can just say it out and end everything but I can’t, I still have feelings for him.
You really do not know what you want Pearl, make use of your brain cause it’s obviously not working!! You are being indecisive about your relationship with Sam and mark! You’re scared of what exactly?
I am scared of everything! I don’t trust Sam anymore with my friends, I don’t know if mark is worse, I am still getting to know him granny, I am confused, scared of the unknown, Nancy is a threat to me now! She was mocking me! Can I sleep here?
I thought mark is on his way here, what will you do?
I don’t know! He’ll arrive tomorow!
Be careful!
POV
Sam met with Nancy!
I hope you haven’t said anything to Pearl!
I haven’t but I will if you start neglecting me Sam, you can’t have a taste of me and dump me.
Nancy this isn’t a relationship, what happened was a mistake.
A mistake? You were never drunk Sam!
How much do you want me to Pay you? Just tell me!
You want to shut me up with money? If you lov we Pearl so much why didn’t you resist me as you did the other day? You can’t pay me Sam.
Nancy please, I don’t want Pearl to find out about what happened , and please stop texting me I am tired of deleting your numerous text messages.
Then you will do as I say Sam, by the way I still want more! Nancy said and left!!
I couldn’t eat the food my granny prepared, I stared at it for a long time before Sam came back,
I wasn’t excited, I followed him home but I never let him touch me, I lied about being sick and having severe headache, he knew I was lying but he still didn’t force me,
He went to the sitting room leaving me alone in the room!
I opened his phone and saw series of love text messages from Nancy, I got to find out they even met and he offered to pay her to shut up!
I felt betrayed and used again!
Stop thinking about Sam and what he did, ! I thought to myself.
I slept off!
5am In the morning my phone rang,
It’s mark!
I couldn’t pick cause Sam was there, I quickly rushed to the bathroom with my phone, I turned it off and turned on the shower, taking off my nightwear Sam opened the door!
You wanna leave so early? Sam asked.
Yes, my granny needs me!! We wanna go somewhere.
Do you feel better now? Sam asked coming close.
Yea! I am better now! I responded.
I love you Pearl, Sam said as he k!ssed my neck.
Please Sam, I .. I am not in the mood.
Why? What happened?
I need to hurry!!
Okay, I’ll see you later then, after work I’ll come pick you up! Sam said as he k!ssed my l!ps.
We had our bath together , I got dressed and took a cab!
On my way home I turned on my phone and got a text from mark.
“I’ve been trying to reach you, I’ve arrived and I am in my h0tel room, call me when you get this message’”.
I took a deep breath, my heart was racing very fast,
I got home and met Nancy and Victoria.
Has mark arrived? Victoria asked.
Yeah, just got his text!
Sam came looking for you , where were you? Nancy asked.
I was with Sam last night nancy, and mind your business please.
I called mark ,
I was worried when your phone suddenly went off, where were you?
My battery was down, I am sorry!
It’s fine! Can we see now? Can I see you?
Yes, can we come with her? Nancy interrupted.
Can you just let me have this conversation in peace Nancy! I said.
You can come with your friends pearl, I’d love to meet them too, we can hang out, I’ll text you the address and I’ll be expecting you! I love you! Bye.
Mark hanged up.
Nancy can you just let me breathe? What was the fuss about?
We will cover up for you Pearl, be careful, I can tell Sam but I will not, let’s get dressed and meet this mark!
EPISODE 14 : Mark Finally Sees Pearl
Sometimes you just have to keep your mouth shut anytime I am on the phone with Sam or Mark, you annoy me anytime you interrupt my call, you’re too lousy Nancy!
Don’t start Pearl, your boyfriend is here and you want to hide him, don’t you know that Sam can find out from either me or Victoria? Nancy said
Please don’t involve me, I’d never snitch on Pearl, Victoria said.
Same here, let’s just go and have fun with mark, at least let’s see how he looks like in physical , I am going to have my shower now! Nancy said and walked to the bathroom.
Victoria just changed her dress , I changed too and waited for Nancy, I got the address from mark !
Nancy came out with a very mini gown, she was half n@ked!
Don’t worry I am not taking your man from you, I just love this dress! Nancy said.
We got in my car and drove to the hotel!
I called mark to tell him that we’ve arrived, he told me his room number ,
So I met with the receptionist and told her, she called mark to know if he’s expecting someone, he said “yea, let them in”.
He’s in the second floor, room no 46! You’re welcome to this prestigious hotel! The receptionist said.
So, do we have to climb the stairs ? Nancy asked.
No please, just use the elevator! The receptionist answered.
We entered the elevator.
We located marks room, it took us few seconds to locate his room.
We finally saw the room number, I wanted to knock but Nancy bypassed me , entered my front and rang the door bell.
Mark opened the door.
Hello mark! I am nancy, pearls friend! Nancy said as she opened her arms for a hug!
Don’t you think The introduction should be done inside, and Pearl should be the one to introduce you and the other person., mark said pointing at Victoria,
Please come in! Mark added as he opened the door !
Nancy and Victoria went in,
I miss you, mark said as he k!ssed me outside for two minutes before we went in!
You should have told us that you wanted to steal a k!ss from Pearl! Nancy said.
You wanted to steal a hug from me, and I didn’t steal a k!ss from Pearl, I don’t owe you any explanation , what should I offer you and you!! Mark said to Nancy and Victoria.
They placed their orders and he called the hotel chef!
I noticed how Nancy kept staring at mark but mark concentrated on me!
I formally introduced Nancy and victoria to mark!
Their food arrived, after eating he ordered for our food,
Why didn’t you request for ours together with my friends own . I asked.
Maybe cause I want them to watch me feed you, I miss you!
I miss you too mark, have you met with the man that invited you here? I asked.
Not yet, we spoke and he said he have an emergency and he’ll be with me tomorrow evening!! Mark said.
We ate and truly Nancy was uncomfortable, she kept staring, maybe she was wondering why I am so lucky! Mark was literally making things worse, eating my lips every minute like I put sugar on them.
After eating he said.
Lets go somewhere and have fun !
I hope this fun won’t be about just you and Pearl, cause since we came you’ve been all over her forgetting that you have guest! Nancy said.
Pardon my manners! I am just excited to see Pearl!
Ain’t you excited to see us? Nancy responded.
Nancy! I called.
Let’s go please! Mark said as he opened the door,
We came out and he held my hands while we walked towards the car park!
Are we ordering a cab?Victoria asked.
No, ! Mark responded.
You don’t expect us to walk! Nancy said.
My car is just parked there, we can use it mark! I said.
We’re using my car! Mark said.
Your car! ? I thought you took a flight down here!! Nancy responded staring at me.
I did take a flight, but you don’t expect me to stress my legs when I can afford a car anytime I want ‘well, it’s my car and I got it as soon as I arrived with the help of my friend! I still do not want to stress Pearl! Mark said.
We got in and I gave him directions!
I needed a place where Sam, his friends and family won’t notice or see me, Victoria understood but Nancy wanted to play smart, this time I outsmarted her!
We got to a newly opened restaurant, had our fun, we also went for shopping , mark initiated a conversation with Nancy and Victoria.
Nancy was having joy responding to marks questions!
So when Pearl came back she said you guys didn’t squeeze the sheets, like both of you never had s*x, I was wondering why she never let it happen! If you love someone soo much why would you deprive him his right after traveling to see him!
Nancy! Can you just stop this! I said.
Calm down Pearl, I just want to know if marks stuff Is still working, cause you never mentioned anything like that!
Sometimes somethings are better left unsaid! You’re doing too much Nancy! Victoria said.
Nancy ignored, “ so mark tell us what really happened””.
Anything that happened when Pearl visited is no one concern, you should be more concerned about controlling the way you talk Nancy! I’ll see you girls tomorow, it’s already getting late! Mark said as he stood up!
She also said that she can’t give herself to you cause you’re not worth it!
Enough Nancy, what’s wrong with you? Can’t you just keep quiet without offending me or mark , I never even said such thing to you! It’s time to go!
I booked a ride for nancy and Victoria!
I felt embarrassed as I entered marks car,
We drove back to the hotel.
I know you’re angry with what Nancy said! I said to mark.
It’s fine to talk or discuss bout your journey with your friends but knowing the kind of person Nancy is you need to start keeping your secrets! did you say you’d never give yourself to me? Cause I am not worth it?
Mark, we shouldn’t be having this discussion, she’s lying!
She’s lying? She didn’t lie when she said we never had sx! If I wanted sx when you came you’d know!
That’s past please, my brain is not working right now! I am sorry. But believe me I never said that, she’s just trying to annoy you cause you refused to hug her I am sorry! It won’t happen again! Let’s forget about it.
Fine!
Fine? You don’t want me here? You want me to leave? I feel you don’t believe me!, I’ll just leave cause I am not ready for any drama!
I am sorry! Mark said.
It’s getting late and I need to leave!!!
It’s alright! Mark said as he saw me off!
I drove back home and started quarelling with Nancy.
You should be with mark in his hotel room convincing him that what Nancy said isn’t true! Victoria said.
I’ve settled the issue, Nancy is just useless,
Nancy please I am begging you in gods name, stay away from my relationship, mark is not Sam!
I noticed he is not Sam, firstly he embarrassed me by hanging my hands on the air and k!ssing you, I am not jealous, I know you don’t love him you’re just with him cause he’s wealthy and cute!
Sam has money too. Pearl has money!
I can crumble your world Pearl! Don’t warn me again!!
I reached for the door.
Where are you going? Victoria asked me.
I am going back to meet mark! I am the main reason he came! I said and left!
I’ll get mark same way I got Sam! Pearl can’t keep getting loved for no reason! Nancy said.
For once be a friend and not an enemy! Pearl hasn’t done anything!
But come to think of it, Sam can’t beat mark! Mark is an angel and I’ll get him!
I arrived back at the hotel and knocked, Mark opened and I hugged him so tight!
I am sorry mark, I wasn’t thinking when I left! I love you!
I was about having my bath! Come in!
I went in ,sat on the bed and watched him go to the bathroom!
I turnEd off the room light , got undressed anD joined him in the bathroom, I reached for the light and turned it off too!
Mark turned it on. “ I wana see you, he said as we k!ssed”.
EPISODE 15 : Passion Ignites
Mark turned it on. “ I wana see you, he said as we k!ssed”.
I wanna build my life with you, I wanna marry you Pearl, I love you so much!
I love you too mark!!!!
We spent a lot of time k!ssing in the bathroom.
After we finished bathing we proceeded to the room , i and mark had been waiting for this moment for weeks.
Mark k!ssed my neck and t0uched me , his touch sending shivers down my spine.
Mark stopped, turning to Me with piercing eyes.
“Pearl, from the moment I met you, I knew you were special,” Mark whispered.
My heart skipped a beat.
Marks fingers traced my jawline, sending sparks through my body.
Our lips met in a tender kiss, the world fading around us.
I was lost in the moment.
Marks hands cradled My face, his eyes burning with desire.
“I want to make love to you,” mark whispered, his voice trembling.
My response was a soft nod, “I want it too” I slowly said.
Our lips met again, this time with urgency.
I was already w*t, I wanted more, this time I wasn’t thinking of Sam!
Our love-making was a symphony of passion and tenderness,
Everything he did to me made me tell him not to stop satisfying me!
In that moment, we both knew our love would last forever!
Is this what I missed when I visited? I asked mark while on it!
He smiled and shut me up with k!ss!
After our l0ve making we slept off!
In the morning when we woke up mark said.
I want to meet your parents, take me to them today.
Mark, my parents are strict and I need to inform them about my relationship with you, you know I never told them about you and it will be soo sudden and disrespectful If I just take you to them!
Ring ring!
It’s my granny!
Pearl, can you come with mark? I wanna see him! Granny said and hanged up!!
Mark and I freshened up, we made use of my car and we drove to my granny’s place.
When my granny saw him she hugged him and k!sses him!!
He’s so cute! She whispered to me!!
So, why should I meet your granny and not your parents!! Mark asked.
Her parents doesn’t want Pearl to make a mistake, you’ll meet them soon! My granny said.
They had a nice time talking and laughing, my granny and I spoke with marks parents.
Ring ring!
It’s Me Felix! Mark said.
They spoke and mr Felix said he is back and want to see mark as it is urgent!
Mark left after the call!
How was it? You passed the night with mark.
Granny, I know I passed the night with mark, we did it and I loved it ! I didn’t have any guilt cause Sam did worse.
Did you sleep with mark to feel better cause Sam did same thing?
No, I wanted it , no regrets!! I love mark more now! He is soo calm, not controlling like Sam and understanding.
I like mark too but I am scared for you, the future is not always what you think it is , It’s better you let one go!
Who? What if I let Sam go and mark turns out to be a beast? Sam f*cked up but I can’t let him go, I am not trying to be selfish but Sam has been in my life since I was a child! He has also sacrificed lots of things for me,
Granny please, don’t tell mum and dad, I’ll figure out what to do and who to choose, I just hope I make the right decision.
Even if you try to let Sam go he’ll never let you go!
Who do you prefer? I asked.
It’s not my choice to make, it is your choice to make!!
POV
After chatting with my granny I went back home to sleep,
Victoria went out, Nancy was with me , all of a sudden she woke me up and told me she was going out to see her fiancé, I ignored her and continued sleeping
I never knew she went to visit mark in his hotel room.
She knocked!
Mark opened!
What are you doing here? Where’s Pearl?
You shouldn’t ask me about Pearl, you finally had taste of her last night! Nancy said trying to remove her gown!
Pearl is not who you think she is, you can have me for free, Pearl wanted money, I even advised her to calm down but she refused,
Mark I can make you happy, if you don’t want Pearl to know I will not tell her, Pearl said so many awful things about you mark! Nancy said removing her gown!
You came here to seduce me with this?? Mark said staring at Nancy.
I want you and I want to have you please, I can do better, I can satisfy you better.
Nancy, I am only moved by Pearl, you can just leave and I’ll pretend you never came, don’t ever come here without my invitation, wear your gown and leave, you’re not my type and youre not Pearl!!
Mark, please,
The door is open Nancy, be careful or I’ll tell Pearl the kind of person you are, I have a meeting to attend too!
Telling Pearl doesn’t change anything,you’re dating cheat!
Ring ring!
Mark was refusing to pick the call.
Pick your call, or are your scared? Your main fiance is calling you. Nancy said.
Please leave, mark politely said.
Nancy left after adjusting her clothes!
She came back.
All men are the same, I can get anyone I want! Men are cheat anyway! She said and laughed,
Out of fear I called mark,
I’ve met with him, in two days time the show will commence , I miss you and I want you around!
I’m coming! I said and hanged up!
I got dressed, turned off my phone and went back to meet mark!
The moment I entered his phone rang, he ignored the call,
We were k!ssing and his phone kept ringing.
Pick up! I said.
It’s not important! Mark said.
Pick!
To be on a safe side, mark picked,
It’s his ex girl friend!
Mark, I’ve been hearing someone came to visit.
You’ve travelled back to see her, why have you been refusing to pick up?
Diana, you’re my past and I’d appreciate if you stop calling me!
I am on my way to your mums place, I need explainations to everything, our relationship is still intact.
I couldn’t bear to hear anything, I got up and reached for the door.
Pearl, she’s my ex and nothing is happening between us! Mark said.
I know, you wanna use me to cover up your trick, you’ve been avoiding that call mark.
She’s an ex! We’ve broken up before I dialed your number, I am sorry I never spoke about her, I’d never cheat on you! I love you, my heart calls for you , I came here for your sake.
I need to go back home, I said and opened the door!
EPISODE 16 : Mark’s Ex Returns
Pearl, don’t leave. Diana is not my friend, she’s an ex!
Why didn’t you tell me? Why do I feel like you’re lying to me mark!
Why would I lie to the woman I love? Why would I betray you? Pearl, you mean everything to me, I love you and I am sorry for not telling you about her,! By the way I never said anything about her cause we’ve already broken up before I met you,
“Pearl, I’m deeply sorry for my mistake,” Mark said, his eyes sincere.
I don’t want to be in a competition with your ex, I don’t want trouble mark.
No one is competing with you “I should have been honest by talking about her from the beginning . You deserve better.”
My expression softened.
“What makes you think I’ll forgive you?” I asked.
“Because I love you, Pearl,” Mark replied.
“I know I messed up, but I promise to regain your trust.”
I searched Mark’s face.
“I’m so sorry, Pearl,” Mark said, his voice trembling.
“For what?” I asked, my tone cautious.
“For my thoughtless words, for not listening, for hurting you.
“I realize now how much you mean to me,” Mark continued.
“I promise to do better, to be better.”
He pulled Me into a gentle hug.
“I love you, Pearl,” Mark whispered.
“I love you too, Mark,” I replied.
Our hug tightened, healing the rift between us.
Tomorrow is the day Pearl, can we meet your parents today? Mark asked.
You’ve already met with my granny , I’ll speak to my parents first mark!
I just want to know what it will cost be finally be with you forever, I want to see you everyday, I want to address you as my “wife”.
You flatter me a lot mark, do you mean everything that you say?
I mean every word, haven’t you wondered why I love you so much? Last night means everything to me!
My phone vibrated’.
It’s Sam!
I turned it off , grabbed marks l!ps and we began k!ssing’.
Every k!ss reminds me of the first day we met! You mean everything to me and I am ready to make any sacrifice! You’re my inspiration , this feeling is different from the ones I’ve had!
After hours of bursting my bubbles with his words, I slept on his chest thinking about what will happen next!
I wanted him and he want me too, our k!ssing continued, lasted for many minutes before we finally made out again and again!
We were about going for the third one when his phone rang.
It’s mr felix!
Hello, mark, I am sorry but we’ve reschedule our appointment, I was thinking things would go as planned but it didn’t.
So, what’s the plan? Mark asked.
I’ll send my driver to come and pick you up right away, I’ve been called and they’re all ready to make the plans, everything is set, we’ll just tell you how things are being done and you’ll flow with it, Tomoro is the exhibition! All the flyers have been sent out.
Alright then, I’ll be waiting for your driver ! Mark responded and hanged up.
We showered ,
What if you go with me? Mark proposed smiling.
No, I’ll just go back home and come back when you’re back!
Since tomorrow is the exhibition and I’ll be performing , I’d want you to be here when I am back so we can go tomorrow! I still want to introduce you to the people I’ve met here.
Call me when you’re back Mark! I said
I left before mark!
The moment I got home Sam drove in.
Where have you been? You decline my calls and turn off your phone, I’ve been waiting for you for more than an hour, I’ve been here twice, I’ve even called your parents.
What is it with you not waiting for my call? Why are you always involving my family in every little thing about me? This is what I do not like, no secrets nothing!!
I was worried about you,I was thinking some thing must have happened.
Nothing happened, I just had a flat battery!! I am fine Sam!
Is there anything bothering you? Do you want anything?
I am fine. !!!! You should be at work! I said.
Nancy walked in smiling.
I looked at Sam and saw the guilt, the fear on his face, he was shaking!
Why do men act and pretend like they love someone after cheating in that person? Nancy asked.
What sort of question is that? I responded.
I Just want to know!
Let’s go Pearl! Sam said as he took my hand!
POV
I will not sit and watch mark do this to me! Diana said to marks mother.
You and my son broke up,
We broke up without any reason, he told me he wanted a break, nothing happened between us!
That’s in the past Diana, mark has found someone and he is inlove with her,
Is that why she came down to grace your birthday? I heard you and your husband gifted her stuffs! Well, I can not be used by this family especially by your son my fiancé, I’ve invested so much in him , he can’t leave me for another.
Mark invested in you Diana! Anything that happend between you and my son is not my problem, I love his new fiancé, they’re both in love, ! You can leave!!
I need answers to why I am being treated this way.
Move on Diana! Please leave!
I’ll leave but I’ll make sure mark comes back to me! A strange woman can’t come and take my position!
Diana left.
You’ve been acting strange Pearl, what is it that I’ve done to you? You deny me of everything including l0ve making.
Is that the reason you brought me here? To talk about denying you s*x , is that why you love me?
That’s not the reason I love you, stop treating me like a stranger, you know how much I love and care about you!
It’s fine Sam! I am already here!
I’ll be going for an art exhibit and I want you to go with me!
I can’t go anywhere!
Why not? I want you to follow me, a friend of mine is coming and I want you and I to go show him our support!
Sam, I’ll follow you okay! I said.
Cool, you’ll sleep over then
Sam I can’t sleep over!! I need to see my granny! I lied to him,
You’re not seeing your granny today! We’re spending the night together, it’s been a while, I miss you!
My phone rang!
It’s mark!
I couldn’t pick!
He sent a text “ my partners wants to meet you now, where are you?
