Chapter 4 second outing

Just then Christy open the door tiptoeing into the house.

    "Hmmm, how did you think you can tiptoe into this house without someone seeing you?"

    "Hey.. Bridget you’re already back?"

     "Yes, thanks to you, I was looking for you all over the place but you..., what did you do? Running around with boys!."

     "What? I didn’t run around with any boy, I was only with Paul"

     "Shut-up,.. and about Paul, I don’t want you to see him again."

    "But why?"

     "Nothing, if you agree, I will help you tomorrow, because mom is so going to kill you, but if you agree not to see him again, I will help you out".

   Christy remembered promising Paul to see him again, but now Bridget is asking her not to, who will she obey? .

    "What if I say No," Christy ask Bridget.

     "Then get ready to face mom, because I will make sure you are sent out of this house."

    "Why are you doing this to me?" Christy ask almost in tears.

    "Am doing nothing to you, all I want is to go out with him."

   "But you can always go out with him". Christy said not been aware of the kind of outing Bridget is talking about.

   "Look here, stop pretending as if you don’t know what am talking about. Didn’t you go out with that other boy call Patrick?"

    "No.. I didn’t, we only went outside, we didn’t talk much before Paul came to take me away from him."

    "You see, that is what am talking about, he always come to take you."

    "I still don’t get you," Christy said more confuse.

    "Just give him to me and stop talking to him, anytime he comes here don’t look at him, don’t talk to him, just walk away, in fact tell him you don’t love him so he will leave you alone and then I will start going out with him."

    "But why?"

    "Because I have started loving him."

    "But that is not fair, I already promise Paul that I will see him tomorrow?"

    "What!, Tomorrow?, no..no..no.. you are not going to see him ok, let me be the one to see him. If you don’t agree, then you know what will happen."  Bridget said and walk closer to whisper into Christy’s ear.

   "I will tell mother that he slept with you at the party."

    "Huh…" Christy  opens her mouth  and eyes wide in surprise..

     “No…no..no..no.. we didn’t do anything like that?”

    “I know, but if you don’t allow me to go and see him tomorrow, that is what I will tell mom”.

    “So what do you want me to do if Paul insist of seeing me?". Christy ask.

    “You are going to stay indoors all through, and I will tell Paul that you are not around, then he will take me with him, after tomorrow then you can now go out with him”.

    “Fine, but please don’t tell mom that kind of lie about me, you promise?”

    "I promise only if you keep your own promise to stay away for tomorrow."

     “Ok, I will stay away,” Christy agreed and walk to her room.

    “Who are you talking to?” her mom ask.

    “Is Christy”

     "Where is that harlot?" She yell "Is this the time you are coming back?, Where are you?”

    "No…no..no.. mom, please, leave her alone, she is not feeling well."

    "And why should I care if she is not feeling fine?" her mom ask.

    "I know, but please mom, we are still on the Christmas period, is not good to mistreating people on Christmas times like this you know."  Bridget keep blabbing whatever comes to her mind. 

    "Who is mistreating who?". Her mom ask in surprise wondering that Bridget is the one saying such words to her.

          "No mom, I mean beating up someone on Christmas period, besides she was begging me to help plead on her behalf so mom leave her for today please."

          "Is already morning, let her come and do her house chores."

    "No..no.. mom, I will do it for her," Bridget's mom looked at her in surprise.

    "Just for today mom, I want to help out for today, because she is not really feeling  well, and I want to show Paul that I can be kind too."

  " What do you mean?"

    "Paul thinks that Christy is kind and am not, so I want to show him that I can be kind too."

   "And how do you plan to do that, since he is not here to see you do the house chores.?"

   "Don’t worry mom, he is coming here today, and I  want Christy to stay indoors for the rest of the day until Paul comes and take me with him."

   "Really, is he coming today?"

    "Yes, and beside mom, they are very rich, he took us to their house, you need to see the magnificent building, they are rich mom."

    "Really?, Then  I must say you are really smart."

    "That is why Christy needs to stay indoors so Paul won’t see her."

   "That won’t be a problem" her mother said.

   "Then get ready to start work, go to the kitchen and clean up the floor while I help you with other things."

    "Ok mom."

    Christy keep wondering what this is all about, why did Bridget ask her to stay indoors because of Paul, and why will she say that Paul slept with her?. And why did she wants to go with Paul?.

'Ok, I think I know now, what!!  No...So she want Paul to sleep with her?, O My Gush. Bridget is a bad girl and her mom is here calling me a prostitute all the time.

But come to think of it, did Paul really wants to sleep with me?" She ask, folding her hands round herself.

"When I looked into his eyes, there is this thing I felt, like cool, and he always said his heart is aching whenever that happen, ohhh…no..I know now, he wants to sleep with me…no.. Bridget is right, I'm not going to see him again, he wants to sleep with me, no, I don’t want to be a prostitute."

Bridget cleaned and cleaned and cleaned and was getting tired of cleaning. She wanted to give up but no, Paul must take her out today, and he can’t do that if he sees Christy, he will insist of taking her along too, I need to just keep trying."

  Before long she was done with the cleaning.

    "You need to rest my dear, go and rest please". Her mother pleaded with her.

    "No, I need to get ready, who knows when Paul will come."

    "Then go and take your bath while you wait for him to come, is just 8 o clock, is still early."

    "Ok, mom".  She rushed to her room and start selecting the best cloth that will make a man’s eyes pop out of it socket.

    "Yes, this one is a killer, Paul cannot say no to me, thank goodness I bought this dress when I did." She kissed the dress and rush to take her bath.

Is pass twelve and Paul is yet to show up.

    "What is going on?, did Christy lie to me so I can help her with her house chores?". She went to Christy’s  room to confront her.

    "Open this door, Christy open up".

   "Yes, what can I do for you?" Christy opens the door.

    "What?, Are you crying, hahahaha". She laughed at Christy.

    "Why are you crying?"

    "Is none of your business, just go away."

    "No, am not going away until you tell me what time Paul says he is coming to pick you."

    "Time?, We didn’t talk about time," Christy said.

    "What an idiot you are?" Bridget yelled at her. 

    "If someone wants to take you out, the first thing you need to do is ask them of the time. Huh…"

    "Well, I didn’t think it was necessary since I was not so anxious to go out with him."

    "You shut up," she bang the door at Christy’s face and walk away.

     "Wooww.. so much for your hot temper" Christy said and want back to her bed.

    "Why is she in so much of a hurry to go out with Paul?, She didn’t want Paul going out with me, but that is ok, after all he wants to sleep with me, but Patrick is a good person, he only dance with me,  not like Paul who is always looking at my eyes Mtcheeeew."

    Bridget went back to her room and regretted why she didn’t ask Paul for his number. I will do that if he comes today.

    "Bridget.. someone is at the door,". her mother yell, when she heard the knock, "it must be Paul, where is this girl?, she has work hard for this. Bridget… come out someone is at the door."

    "Really?" Bridget jump out of bed, "Is Paul I know is him".  She ran all the way to the door and open it.

   "Paul…" she shouted and almost jump at him before realizing herself.

    "Heyy… how are you", he ask looking ahead of Bridget for Christy.

    "Come in, she drag him inside."

   "Hello young man how are you doing today?"

   "Am fine ma, and you?"

   "Well what can an old woman like me do? Am always indoors, but please take good care of my daughter Bridget, she told me you are coming to take her out today?"

   "What?... yes.. yes… I will take care ma."

    "Ok, she is ready, you guys can go now."

    "Ohh… no…"

    "Come lets go"  Bridget drag Paul out of the house and into Paul's car.
