I felt better driving the long distance, it was a little past mid day when I drove in to the apartment I shared with Lizzy. I already texted Becky to meet me there and she was already around when I walked in with my basket of delicacies. It was refreshing gist with the girls, Lizzy was overjoyed when she saw her favorite pizza and Becky couldn"t help but join in. Lizzy left after brunch for lectures and I was left alone with Becky.
I sincerely couldn"t lie to Becky, as it is she had already figured what happened and couldn"t help but sigh when I was done explaining. "Do you think he"s connected to the witch?" she asked suddenly. "my mum"s not a witch,at least give her a little bit of respect, even if we"re always at each other"s throats, mum still loves me and what would she achieve with a stunt like this,mum is too busy with her life".
" Just observations, it isn"t coincidence he waltz into your life the moment your mum goes out of town". Becky is just so sensitive. "you"re over thinking things again love, this is obviously not the first time mum is going out of town, in fact,she stays away much more than she stays home" I patiently a.s.sured Becky
"This doesn"t just add up, as much as I want to kick that a.s.shole"s b.a.l.l.s for messing with my baby, we still have to be patient and find out the reasons behind this whole s.h.i.t, did you annoy or offend anybody recently?"
me: none that I know of
Becky: why don"t you tell Lizzy about it,she might dig up useful information
me: I don"t want to get family involved, especially not Lizzy. He"s a dangerously guy
Becky:*sighs* you have a point, all we can do is wait for the private investigator.
me: yeah. That aside,what"s the haps. You still haven"t told me the reason why you left abruptly yesterday
Becky: mum had an attack yesterday, it was severe but she"s fine now.
me: wow, I"m so sorry about that...
Becky: it"s OK, she"s fine now

16:40pm
I didn"t go back to the villa after Becky left,I switched off my phone after so many missed calls and texts from Kelvin. I was in no mood for another emotional rollercoaster, I just soaked myself up in a bathtub full of bubbles for 2 hours and wrote afterwards.
****
It was all a lie
Everything he made her feel was a big fat lie
All she ever wanted was happiness
She just wanted someone to care
She felt he was different
He made her feel special
But it was all a lie
All those things she thought he felt
Was nothing but a big fat lie
*******
That was another one of the things that relieves me of stress and sadness,I closed up my diary and switched on my phone to check up on Lizzy, I was beginning to get bored of the loneliness, she promised to be back in time for "girls dine out". I wanted to treat her to lunch earlier but she suddenly had an errand to run and promised to make dinner worth it
{big sis I"m so sorry I"ll not be able to make it for dinner,I suddenly got a text from mum and I"m flying off to Abuja in a bit,take care and stay sweet for me}. I couldn"t help the disappointment, "maybe I should just go to bed,no one has my time".
17:18pm
My nap was disrupted by a call,I picked it without checking the caller ID
" where are you "
me:really Kelvin, don"t you get?,I don"t want to talk to you
Kelvin: come outside,I"m outside
me:unfortunately I"m not home
"...."
"where are you?"
me: why do you want to know?
Kelvin: I"m outside, outside your apartment, come outside
me: how did you know my.... I"m not coming
Kelvin: why,you"ve found yourself another lover?,
me: stop spouting rubbish,get away from me,I never want to see you again. I angrily disconnected the call. The goat had the nerve to insult me after the stunt he pulled earlier today,he already succeeded in ruining my mood. I suddenly wanted to punch some to, did he think I was cheap?, "why wouldn"t he?,you didn"t hesitate in crawling to his bed right?". Of all times,my stupid silent demon suddenly regained it"s voice. I just sighed and fell back in bed,if I was a spoilt brat,I would probably trash the whole room in anger,but I knew better,doing that would be practically useless
17:51pm
*phone buzzes*
After that annoying call,I tried but failed miserably to catch some sleep and the d.i.c.k was calling again.
Me:what us it you want again?!
Kelvin: I"m still outside, we need to talk
Me: what about,my new lover?
Kelvin: please just come outside, it"s important. I promise I"ll never disturb you after this
Me: ....
Kelvin: you there?
" I"ll be out in 5 minutes". I disconnected the call
I wondered what he wanted at that time, I didn"t wait long before I found out though.
18:01pm
It was threatening to rain,the dark clouds frowned as I sat in the pa.s.senger seat of a white G-wagon,I couldn"t help but notice the the curious stares in our direction too,he had been there for quite a while, so nosy people wanted to see who he was waiting for.
" So tell me,what is it?" I said the minute I got into his car.
" We can"t talk here"
me:so where do we talk,in the presence of my new found lover?
Kelvin: just stop it already, I"m sorry I said that OK?,I"m sorry about the other day too,I was blinded by memories OK?. I"m really sorry, I lost a lot of people in my life already, I don"t want to lose you too
He nervously ran fingers through his hair, I sat transfixed,looking at him. It was the second time I"ve seen that pain and loneliness in his eyes.
Kelvin: I want to really apologize to you,dinner tonight?
me:mm.... OK
He visibly sighed and was relieved, "am I that important to him?" I muttered to myself
"let me freshen up and you can come in"
"no,I"ll wait here"
me: hmmmmm,there"s no one inside
Kelvin: I know,I"ll be tempted to do things if I come in *winks
I felt red creep up my cheeks as I understood what he was insinuating
18:27pm.
We drove off to my doom...
