No..no..no.. please don’t kill her,
if you do our mother will kill me."
"Is ok, I will not kill her ok".
She nods her head.
"But am going to take you home
right now" Paul said to Christy.
"What about Bridget is she not
coming with us"?
"No, I will come back and get her,
so don’t worry about her."
Paul took Christy home.
"Do you need anything"?
"No’"
"So how are you feeling? Are you
hurt?"
"A little", Christy said
"Let me take you to the hospital."
"No don’t worry is not that painful
again."
"Come here," he hug Christy and
never wants to leave her alone
but he has something to take
care of.
"Am so sorry ok, I never knew is
your first time".
"Is fine Paul you have been
apologizing ever since, am fine really."
Paul kiss her and never wants
to let her go.
"Promise me you will always take
care of yourself and don’t let anyone
touch you."
"I promise."
He took out a bundle and hand
it to Christy.
"What is this? this is too much".
"Just take it ok, and if is not enough
let me know, this is my card call
me anytime you want".
Christy took the card and the
money and went inside the house,
and Paul drove back to the club.
He went straight to the room to
clean up the blood that came out
of Christy, he didn’t want anyone
doing it for him.
"Shitt, I hope I did not hurt her
badly, I need to go see her as soon
as possible".
When he finish with the cleaning
he went after Bridget.
"Where is that Bridget? He scan for
her but she was nowhere to be
found, so Paul decide to go home.
As he came out of the club there
was Bridget with another man,
kissing and hugging.
"Hey.. you come here", he went
and drag Bridget from the man.
"Hey. Dude what is wrong? Can't
you see she is with me?"
"Stay away from this", Paul told
the man.
"Hey.. let go of me, you are hurting
me."
"Not as much as you hurt Christy."
"What are you talking about", you
were with her all this time how did
I hurt her? Bridget ask surprised.
"What did you put in my drink?"
"What? Nothing."
If you don’t tell me now I will get you arrested.
Fine, is just a little drug.
What! You drugged me? why?
"Well because I want you,"
"How? So why is it that
Christy was the one with me and
not you?"
"I asked her to take care of you
because I had someone to take
care of too."
"Really? You are such an idiot. And
the best thing for you to do was
to drug me?"
"That is the only way Paul, for
goodness sakes what did you see
in Christy? Am the pretty one
here, and all you do is love her,
what did she have that I don’t.?"
"Everything, she has everything
I want in a woman, and you, naaa..
you are just one of them."
"What do you mean?".
"You know too much and I hate
it, I don't like women who knows
everything that men knows, you
should be a lady for goodness
sake". Paul said and make to go.
"Where is Christy? Bridget ask.
"She’s gone home, I took her home
so you should go too."
"If she has gone home that is cool,
we can have fun for the rest of the
night."
Paul turned to look at Bridget,
"In your dreams. And don’t you
ever use Christy again."
"Huh.. whatever" Bridget said
and went back to her man.
Paul went home but was unable
to sleep, the thoughts of Christy
fill his mind, how he wish they will
never be apart from each other.
He has never falling for someone
like this before, is like he is
possess by Christy and he love
every moment of it.
But wait a minute, that drug that
Bridget gave to me and the
reaction was the same as that of
the one I took the other day, but
Bridget was not in that club that
day, so who must have drugged me?".
"Shitt.., is Sharon, she is the one,
she must have drugged me. but wait
how am I so sure is Sharon? Just
then he remembered the guy who
was giving them drinks and they
didn’t know who was buying
the drinks.
"I need to get to that guy, he
must know something".
But that drug helped me with
Christy, I hope she will not hate
me for life. That is not how I wanted
it, I hope I wasn’t too rough on her.?"
"Heyy… little man what is going on
with you?"
"Nothing dad."
"No, don’t tell me nothing, you
can’t be staring into space and
smiling and you are telling me
nothing."
"Is nothing dad, really is nothing."
"Tell me who is she? Is it the
same girl.?"
"Noo.. dad please stop, I can’t tell
him that, no never."
"Son, I was once a boy too, you
know when a man began staring
into space and smiling he is in love."
"Really? Well, mine is different
because am just thinking." Paul said.
"About what?"
"How do you handle women who
you don’t want?"
"Wow, that is not what I was
expecting to hear."
"Yea, now you know, am not in love,
he lied."
"Well, you can ignore a woman
you don’t want."
"I have done that already is not
working."
"Then show her another woman,
I bet you she will not disturb you
again."
"Hmmm that is not a good idea,
" You think so?"
"You see this girls, they are
persistence,.lf you show them
another girl, they will be more
persistence than before, so I don’t
think is a good idea."
"Wow, so you know better than me."
"No dad, that is not what I mean."
"So tell me, is there anyone you
love among them?"
Paul looked at his dad and kept
quiet.
"Ohh. No.. you do, is it the girl you
told me about?"
"Yes dad, is the same girl but
her sister and Sharon won’t let
me be."
"What?, did you say Sharon."
"Yes, Sharon".
"Don’t you like Sharon? she is a
good girl."
"What? Good girl? Naa.. you don’t
know her" Paul said without thinking.
"Why did you say so? Has Sharon
done anything wrong?"
"No.no..no.. she is cool Paul didn’t
want to tell his father that Sharon
do drugs, it may spoil a lot
of things.
"So why don’t you consider Sharon
over this other girls you know
nothing about."
"Ok dad, I will think about it, Paul
didn't want to talk about it, so he
made the conversation about
Sharon to end.
"Dad are we not going to the
tennis court again?"
"Sure we are going"
"What? No, you are not going
anywhere with him, for goodness
sake this is cheating, his mother's
voice was heard from the staircase.
"Who is cheating who dear," his
father ask his mom.
"You, you are the one cheating,
Paul has gone with you to the tennis
court the other day, now is my turn,
you are coming with me, we are
going shopping, I will take you
somewhere very expensive for
shopping and then you can shop
anything you want."
Paul and his dad turn to look at
each other.
"But am not cheating, the boy
has to choose and he chose me."
"No way, son you have to choose
me today, that is cheating, when
I wanted to give birth I ask for a
female but you choose to be a male,
now you are still choosing your
father over me, why? I will stand
my ground today you are coming
with me."
Paul walk to his mom and
hug her.
"Mom, you have me always with
you, and I will always choose you
over anyone."
"Really? Including your dad? did
you choose me over him."
Paul turned to look at his father
who was shaking his head signaling
Paul to say no.
He turn to his mom, and she was
nodding her head for Paul to say yes.
"OMG, look, I need a sister mom
please give me a sister, just give
me a sister, you guys are putting
me in a difficult position, in fact
I choose both of you happy now?"
He said and ran away to his room
leaving his mom and dad to
continue the argument.
"Look what you have done, he
choose both of us, I don’t like it".
The mom said
"Is not my fault honey, the boy
got to choose and is a good thing
he choose us both."
"No, I need a girl, just give me a
girl child and you can have him all
to yourself". She said and went to
her room closing the door at her
husband’s face.
"Wow.. this is not good, how do
I go about giving them a girl child?
Am not the one who gives children,
what if it turns out to be a boy, what
will she do.?"
"I will kill youuu... if it turns out to be
another boy" she yell from inside.
"Wow.. she heard me."
