At Mara’s room…
“How was your night and hope you slept well?”
Daniel asked as he never took his gaze off Mara who’s heart had already left her chest unto realizing that Daniel might have seen her taking those pills.
She could hear her hearbeat beat so fast as she replied in a nervous state.
“Good morning baby. My night was quite good and yours?”
She asked and Daniel replied.
“My night was good. Last night… last night, you were amazing baby. I loved all your moves. Thank you, baby. You made me feel so good last night. What you did calmed my nerves. Gosh!”
He stretched out his body, cracking his neck and fingers as they made some breaking sounds before he continued his statement.
“You really did well. Baby, are you stressed?”
He asked as he climbed out of the bed and started walking towards Mara.
When he got to her, he held her waist from the behind as he gave her a kiss on that sensitive part of her body that was located between her ears and neck. He romantically roamed his hands around her body through her dress as his hand slid under her dress and found its way towards her breasts. She was wearing a skinny after all so his hands locating her breasts wasn’t so difficult for him at that point.
“Where we’re you going to?” Daniel asked as Mara replied.
“I was going to check on Annabel and to also see if Rose had woken up.” She replied.
“Ok then baby.” Said Daniel.
Mara, on the other hand took in a deep breath as she slowly took it out unto realizing that Daniel hadn’t seen her take those pills. It was a relief for her. She knew Daniel was a lover of children and letting him find out she was taking a pill to prevent pregnancy, would be a huge problem.
Mara stood at her standing position for sometime as she forced out a smile before Daniel spoke again.
“Why not clean up the room before going.” He requested and she nodded.
“Ok, baby I will.” She said as she turned towards Daniel who held her from the behind.
She was now facing him. She looked into his eyes and stood on her toes as she gave him a peck on his lips before she finally walked into the restroom. She pretended as if she wanted to ease herself and when she got into the restroom, she released a heavy sigh of relief.
She was damn scared that if Daniel should see her by mistake, he would scold her. She had once seen Daniel go berserk and she didn’t want to see him in such scene for the second time because it was bloody. That was the main reason she felt she shouldn’t let him know no matter what.
Few seconds later, Mara had already finished cleaning up her room and was now at the sitting room with everyone else. They had all taken their bath as they stood from their sitted position at the sitting room, walking towards the dinning table as they sat and waited for breakfast.
A few moment later, different kinds of delicious meal were served on the dinning table. They were pleasing to the eyes and yummy to the mouth and to crown it all, they were satisfying to everyone’s hungry stomach including Rose’s stomach even though she ate just a little of it.
The meal was a fried rice, fried ripe plantain, salad and fried meat of different kinds.
In addition, were different fruit of any kind as well.
The dinning table was rich. So rich that anyone would fall when being tempted with it.
They sat and enjoyed the Meal all along since they didn’t get the appetite to eat last night.
At Crystabel’s home…
Crystabel was already out of the bathroom that was located in her room as she was now in her dressing room to dress and begin the day. She spoke to Anita who was also there with her and had already taken a seat on the fancy couch that was on Crystabel’s room.
“You ‘re dressing up… Where are you going to?” Anita asked.
“I’m going to the hospital.”
Crystabel replied and in awe, Anita asked.
“He is at the hospital? What For?”
“To see Mr. Evidence.” Crystabel replied.
“Did he ask you to come? I mean, does he know you are coming? Why are you going there?”
“He doesn’t know I’m coming but I wish to see him and that’s why I’m going. After all these years, I finally met him and I’m never going to let him go this time. Especially now that it seemed he is suffering from Amnesia.” Said Crystabel.
Anita, hearing Crystabel’s statement, her eyes were filled with questions. She wondered what had happened to Mr. Evidence that would cause him amnesia but because she never wanted Crystabel’s troubles, she decided not to ask her about it. Furthermore, she said something else instead even though she guessed her next statement would cause some trouble, she just needed to let out the bitter truth.
“whatever you both had was in the past and how are you sure he wants you now? Don’t tell me you still love him? Wait… how are you sure he isn’t married yet?” Anita crazily spoke and as Crystabel vividly remembered what happened between herself and Mr. Evidence yesterday night, she curved out a selfish smile before she finally replied to Anita.
“Girl, you won’t understand but I’m sure you would very soon. Yeah! I know so… I believe once the time is right, you will understand. All your life, you have never gotten intimate with a man if not, you would understand what i feel for him.”
Anita was now speechless as her eyes were filled with questions as usual. And Crystabel was also aware that Anita’s eyes wanted answers but she felt it wasn’t the right time to answer those questions yet.
She hadn’t made up her mind yet in telling Anita what had happened so far. For now, she needed to keep it to herself. She thought.
“So, when are you coming back? Anita asked.
“I don’t know yet. I don’t really know when i will be coming back but I’m sure I will come home today.” Crystabel replied.
“Hey! You don’t know when you’re coming back? Huh? I hope you won’t come back very tired the way you did last night? This time around, I won’t help you in any way. I will just allow you sleep on the couch. You won’t stress me today, will you?” Anita asked.
Crystabel, hearing Anita’s statements and question kept mute. She didn’t reply or look at the talking girl. All she did was focus her gaze on the mirror as she admired her slim and attractive body before she continued rubbing the red lipstick on her sexy lips like she would always call it.
“You are not saying anything. Okay, fine! do what pleases you. Mind you, yesterday when you were gone, a call came in. chief Carl called. He said he called your number but you weren’t picking his calls. He told me to tell you to meet him at your normal meeting location.” Said Anita as she waited for Crystabel’s reply but because she got none, she continued talking.
She activated her crazy behaviour.
“I think he is horny.” Said Anita as she laughed out loud before she spoke again.
“He is horny and he misses your pussy. So.. wherever you’re going right now, make sure you go to meet with him. I wouldn’t like it if he should call me again, asking your wereabout. Please, go and attend to him so he doesn’t call me again and Secondly, tomorrow is the girls pool party. Make sure you return on time today so we could go to the party tomorrow. Lady-T would be coming. You know that woman is very wealthy. She’s going to spend on us bountifully. I don’t want to miss the party because of you so make sure you come back on time.”
She instructed like a boss she wasn’t and Crystabel who was the boss never replied. All she did was work out of the mirror where she stood to admire herself as she walked towards her wardrobe where she had kept her handbag. She took her hand bag as she saw Anita watched her walk out of the room. Walking and heading towards one of her cars that were parked outside.
It was so obvious that Crystabel was already leaving and Anita could see it but couldn’t say a word. And because she knew Crystabel wasn’t ready to reply her, she didn’t stop yet even though she knew who that crazy girl was. She knew Crystabel to be a girl of determination. Whenever she wants something, nothing distract her from getting it. Anita knew all of this but yet, she tried to see if Crystabel would hear what she had to say before leaving.
“Wait…”
Said Anita as she ran towards Crystabel.
As Crystabel heard Anita asking her to wait, she waited. She stood and turned backwards. Gazing up at Anita in curiosity.
“What is It? What do you want to say now? Discourage me from going? Aaah? I always knew you had feelings for him but you kept hiding it from me. You felt I won’t be able to find out? Do You? Aaah?”
Crystabel spoke harshly and rudely towards Anita.
Anita, upon hearing Crystabel’s statements, was surprised and shocked. She wondered why Crystabel started talking harshly towards her. The last time she checked, they weren’t having issues. What Now? Anita knew Crystabel for a very long time and as long as she knew her, she was convinced that Crystabel was still angry at her because of what she had said few hours ago in Crystabel’s bedroom. She was sure of that!
Anita spoke in disbelieve.
“Hey! that was so harsh. Why are you getting angry so soon? I thought you said you weren’t angry at me. I already knew you were but you were just pretending. I know who you are I know when you are angry and when you’re not. Ok, fine! I’m sorry. Whatever I said in your room was just a joke. It was a joke for crying out loud. So, please don’t be offended by my words.”
Said Anita as she walked towards Crystabel and held Crystabel’s shoulders. Trying to see if she could calm Crystabel’s anger as Crystabel looked her at the face before she spoke.
“Tell me the truth. Were you and are you having a Crush on Mr Evidence?”
Anita widened her eyes unto hearing such question coming from Crystabel as she spoke.
“Crush? Me? Huh?… come on, girl… it hasn’t gotten to this. Like seriously? You are angry? Gosh! I already said I’m sorry.” Anita apologized again.
“Fine! ok, ok, ok, ok!!! I forgive you. can you please allow me go now?”
Crystabel asked and without waiting to hear what Anita had to say again, she walked towards her car as she drove out after the gate man had opened the gate.
Anita stood and watched Crystabel’s car Accelerate.
