ROSIANA
After that day, things went on smoothly. My leg healed really fast ant I could go about my usual duty.
Mike barely came visiting. I guess that’s because my wound wasn’t that serious anymore.
And yes, that Same day he gave me his contact, I made a call.
I called and we chatted a little. He’s a really nice guy. He even made jokes through the phone that I laughed and actually forgot I might cause awareness.
He’d most time call me twice a day when he’s less busy just to check on me. And it made me felt really secure that someone out there cares for me.
As for David, he hasn’t been himself since Mike’s visit. It’s been a week now and he still acts like it’s yesterday and I bet something is off.
He doesn’t know I and Mike talks at night. He might be suspecting something cause those hawk eyes he lays on me whenever I pick a call in his presence tells everything.
I know he’s suspecting. But what could possibly go wrong if he knew I and Mike do Have night calls just as friends??.
DAVID
I’ve not really been myself these days. I don’t know why I’m so bothered. It’s been a week since I last saw Mike here.
Ana’s wounds are gone and I saw no reason for his visit. But still, I felt like they see each other every passing day.
Every night I hear Ana make calls in her room. She’d laugh so loud and hard.. and it only gets on my curiosity.
What if it’s Mike she’s talking to? I can’t be so sure about that can I?
Yeah I know I can’t but I’m bothered anyway.
I seriously do not want him repeating same sht he did before.
“Like what?? Betty?” Mark asked. Staring vividly at me.
Yes, I complained to Mark about Mike’s closeness with Ana and my suspicion about them having night calls.
“Yes. Betty. You remember what Mike did don’t you?” I retorted.
“So? I thought you guys Already settled your differences back in college”
“Yeah we did. But I still can’t forget about it. He $tabbed me on the back” I frowned hard, recalling what he did.
“No. No …. You caused everything for yourself dude. You caused it. You played with your feelings” Mark retorted.
“And what’s that supposed to mean? You fully remember how I and Mike used to be great pals. You remember how I had told him about my feelings for Betty”
I suckled on my word as the bitter truth filled my memory.
Back then in college, I used to crush on Betty. I’m a shy and extreme timid type so I couldn’t muster the courage to approach her and confess my feelings.
Mike knew about this. He was my pal. I told him I needed help with Betty and he promised to talk to her for me.
Things happened so fast and before I knew what was going on, Mike and Betty became a couple.
I felt so broke and stabbed. I cried so much that day cause I didn’t expect such betrayal from a trusted friend.
I didn’t try to listen to whatever explanations Mike wanted to give.
Though we later settled our differences but we weren’t back to being too close like before.
The thought of history repeating itself doesn’t go down well with me.
“I remember like it’s yesterday David. But straight to my question.
Do you like this lady? Your kid’s Nanny. Do you like her?”
Mark suddenly asked to my utmost surprise. That question took me off guard.
Do I like her??? I arched.
“Well… I – I d-dont really know” I stuttered a reply.
“You don’t even know??…. Dude What’s your problem? You don’t even know if you like her. Yet you complain about Mike’s closeness with her.
You see David, you’re always the cause of your problem.
You’re just too timid to go for what you want. The case with Betty and Mike, you actually caused it.
What were you thinking? Telling your fellow guy to woo a girl for you?
Oh so you thought you were the only Nigga who had eyes On Betty? Betty Allen? The school hottest Babe then.
And to think you haven’t changed from such attitude still baffles me.
You don’t know if you like Ana and yet, you get so mad and act as an hindrance to someone who’s tryna shoot his shot.
If Ana eventually decides to go for Mike, you’ll end up hating him the second time thinking he stole her from you. Just like he did with Betty.
Because Ana works for you doesn’t mean you own her or you can make decisions for her.
She’s a lady David. She has the right to make choices for herself.
So if I were you, I wouldn’t try to act as a blockade or anything.
Instead, I’ll put off that old man’s habit and shoot my own shot.
Or bet me, that history you’re so scared of will definitely repeat itself. And all blame will surely fall on you”
I listened to every bit of word he just said. He’s seriously right.
I am not a type that makes easy attempt on ladies unlike Mike. And that has always been his winning point over me.
“But Mark I don’t even know if I have feelings for her. ”
I covered my face with both palms. Sighing out in frustration.
“That’s left for you to figure out Man. I can’t help you with that. You alone know what you feel towards her that always makes you act so possessive. Go sort out yourself.
But in the meantime, I have good news”
His tone lightened a bit in excitement.
I looked up at his bright face, wandering what it could be.
” Tell me about it” I poured more wine into my glass cup.
“Ella visited yesterday. I didn’t expect it”
He smiled broadly as he broke out the news.
I’m really happy for him. I just pray they fix things up and get back together. At Least, for their daughter’s sake. Karen?
