So you brought those people into
my house to insult me right.
"No ma, am sorry" Christy start
to beg shaking like a leaf.
"Mom please leave her alone, at
least for today, you promise them
that you will not beat her again try
and keep to your word" Bridget said.
"So you are now telling me what
to do in my own house ehh, Bridget,
don’t make me add you to her
punishment.
Now get out of this room," she
ordered Bridget out of Christy’s
room.
"Now you are going to tell me
everything you told those people
about me, start talking."
"Ma I didn’t not say anything bad
about you to them."
"And you expecting me to believe
you?"
"Mom, please don’t beat me I
didn’t say something about you."
She started to cry.
"Look at you? I haven’t start
beating you and you are already
crying, later they will say am a bad
woman, it is your mother that is a
bad woman. Don’t worry I know what
I will do to you". She said and left
Christy’s room.
After she left Bridget rush into
Christy's room.
"Christy please don’t be angry with
me ok, am not among mom’s
maltreatment to you".
Christy look at Bridget and she
knew what she wants.
"Don’t worry I have given you my
word, whenever I see Sharon I will
let her know that you want to be
friends with her."
Ok thanks, she said happily and try to
hug Christy but she push her away
again.
Ohh.. sorry, I will be in my room,
don’t you have her phone number?
She ask as she was about to leave
the room.
No, I don’t have her number.
Shit.. Bridget wanted to yell at
Christy telling her how she is so
stupid and fond of doing that but
she remembered she needed a favor
for her.
Is ok, just tell her when see her.
I will, can you go now?
Yes, she left Christy alone, and
Christy start searching for her phone
the one Bridget exchange with the
iphone Paul gave to her.
But the phone is nowhere to be found.
Danmit, Bridgetttt…. Am so going to
kill you if you don’t give me my phone.
She went straight to Bridget room.
Where is my phone?
What phone? I thought you left with
your phone Bridget said.
OMG, am finish, I didn’t go with any
phone I left it in my room.
Maybe mom have taken it, but not
to worry, I will get it back.
Please Bridget bring it back for me
and I will make sure to tell ken to
give me Sharon’s number.
Really? Just wait I will get it for you.
Ok thanks Bridget, Christy thank her
sincerely from her heart because
Bridget has been of help to her
even though she is helping her with
the wrong motive
Within seconds Bridget brought out
the phone from where she was
hiding it and brought it to Christy.
Thank you so much, she thank her and promise to get Sharon’s number for her.
Where did you guys go? Paul’s mom confront them when they are about
to enter the house.
Ohh.. sorry dear, we went for a
morning drive, I thought of taking
Paul with me, I hope you don’t mind.
Whatever, must you rob it on my
face? She said and walk away,
breakfast is ready join me at the
dinning table.
Yes mom
They eat in silence, but Mr. Brown
spoke first, honey is anything the
matter?
Nothing, just eat your food I want
to go and visit Sharon mom, we
have very important discussion
that concerns you Paul.
Me? Why?
It has been agreed to you and Sharon
will be getting married after your
education.
What? Paul almost throw out his
food out of shock. He turned and
look his dad.
You are not saying anything dad.
Well ask your mom.
What do you mean ask your mom?
I have work so hard to see you
through in school, I don’t want you
ending up with a nonentity.
Mom what are you talking about?
Me get married to Sharon? That
is impossible.
Nothing is impossible my dear, she
is well brought up, comes from a
good family.
No..no..no.. mom you don’t
understand, there is no way am
getting married to Sharon, dad say something. Ohh.. I see, is that why
she came to our house?
Now you know, his mother said,
and I believe you like her, I see the
way you look at her and always
takes her outing.
Huh… mom you don’t understand,
Paul keep saying, he didn’t know
how to explain what Sharon is to
them. He even saw her as the
queen of the night no..no..no… this
can’t happen to me.
Dad talk to mom, because am not
doing this, he got up and left the
table.
Do you really have to do this? Mr.
Brown ask his wife.
Yes, is important that he gets
married to a girl that has better up
bringing and not all this girls I see
on the street. At least I know who
Sharon is and I know her mother,
they are well respected in this town.
Speak for yourself woman, you
don’t know what this kids know, he
said because of the experience he
had with Paul, he never thought
that Paul could bring a girl into
his house and ask him to help out,
he’s even in love.
But I don’t need to tell you that he
said within him.
I know Sharon, I saw when she
was born, and I also know that my
friend has done a good job bring
her up with so manners and good
character.
Well, we don’t know that yet, why
don’t you give him more time to
come to accept it.
Am not rushing him, he still have
to finish school, I only want him
to get use to the idea.
Paul went to his room feeling this
sharp pains in his heart, he feels
sick right now, he didn’t feel like
going out he just wants to be indoors.
He lay on his bed and feels like
crying but his phone rang and it
was just the right person, he
needed to hear this voice to
calm down.
Hello Paul, is that you?
Yes my love he said, making Christy
look at the phone to make sure
she was calling the right number.
Why are you sounding like that?
Your voice sounds different
Christy said.
That is because I miss you
already, I want you to be with me.
Huh…what?
Yes, Christy I love you and I want
to hold you all night long.
Huh… Christy keep saying not
knowing what to say. Because
Paul was making her to have
this chilling feeling all over her.
What is he trying to do? Am
beginning to feel funny inside.
What did you say? Paul ask.
Ohh.. nothing.
So what are you saying about
what I said.
What are you saying? Christy ask
as if she wasn’t hearing all the
things that Paul was saying.
I said I need you and my heart
has started to ach again, I believe
is because of you.
Huh.. is it aching too much?
Yes.
Is it because of me? She ask again.
Yes.
So what do I do now? Am lock
up in this room I can’t come out.
Can you take some medicine I
think it will help.
No Christy, medicine can not
heal this pains, my heart needs you.
So what do I do now?
Just say you love me and kiss me.
But how do I do that since am not
there with you?
Just say it on the phone and I will
be ok.
I love you Paul, and my heart
needs you too. She kiss him on
the phone, then she heard footsteps.
I have to go now, my mom is coming.
Ok, take care of yourself ok, and
always remember that I love you.
Paul said and kiss her back then
she drops the call.
Paul felt good again, knowing that
Christy loves him too, he promise
himself that no matter what
happens he is not going to give
up on Christy. And as for Sharon
there is no way he can consider her.
Just then his father knock on his
door.
Paul is me, open the door.
Dad, he opens the door and went
back to bed.
His father enters the room and
takes his sit.
How are you feeling?
Not good dad.
Dose it hurts so much?
Yes dad, I don’t like that Sharon
not to talk of loving her.
But she is your mother' s choice,
can’t you reconsider?
No dad, I can’t stand that girl, you
know who I want dad.
Yes I know. He said because while
coming here he over heard Paul’s
phone call with Christy, and he
knew that his son is very much in
love with this girl.
Ok, but you need to take it easy
with your mom, you don’t need to
be disrespectful to your mom
because of this ok.
Ok dad, thank you.
