CAUGHT IN THE MOMENT
***EPISODE 12***
Have you ever experienced that awkward moment when you have alot to say but just one word renders you blank..
That was me at that moment, like I was caught in a web..the moment I heard
“My bukky”..I lost focus, and I could only open my mouth but I didn’t even know what to ask..or say.
I was expecting David to say something else, about leaving him stranded at the altar, grip me for betraying our love..but he started the car again and drove.
What? Just like that..no any other word? Just ” my Bukky?”
“Da..David?”
He didn’t reply, he didn’t say anything..this guy is driving me crazy, just a moment ago he made me feel he had that emotion, now he just went blank..
He parked the car, I didn’t realize we went in the fashion house already..
“David? I know I hurt you but…
I didn’t have to finish before that Joanne approached and he got out of the car to hug her..
What is this? Is this David or an imposter..I got out of the car and waved at Joanne, not because I want to, but because I just had to..
”Where are you both coming from?”
I was startled when Jeremy asked from behind me..
“The hospital, where else would we be coming from”
Was this jealousy or anger?
“Jeremy for Christ sake David is your brother, he wouldn’t do anything to hurt you”
I was speaking for David, cos I didn’t trust myself..wait but I did not even say yes to this guy and he just assumes we are dating?..lemme just wait till Madam Clara gets better..
**************
The next stage of the competition drew near..we were to present a couple portrait, the best three proceeds to the final stage..
I was divided..the competition didn’t really matter much to me now..it was David and his attitude, I didn’t understand the guy and it was driving me crazy..
Do I approach him? How can I when that Joanne follows him around like a fly..and there was now another problem, Vodka was now all over him now.. That Vodka !
She noticed I had a soft spot for David, so anytime she saw me around she is like
“Oh David that, David this”
You know what? I am tired of this, David has to spit it out..why this torture..I made up my mind, d–n the consequences.. It was nice he got a office, so one evening I stole in to meet him.
“David?”
he turned to look at me and as usual kept quiet..
In anger I marched towards him and grabbed his arm, he was quick, he released his arm drew me like a piece of paper and held me against the wall, I struggled..he was a breathe away..coming closer, God he wants to Kiss me..
**************
As a normal lady with heightened feelings, my defenses were growing weak, and so my was struggle, he was in control and when he touched my nose with his, I went overboard..I tightened my eyes shut and waited for it, I waited for our lips to meet..but then, he backed away and let me go..
“Go home bukky”
He left me in the office..I wasn’t just hurt, I felt foolish..I felt cheap..this wasn’t the David I knew, he had changed..I couldn’t read him and I could now see that he had decided to keep torturing me..
Well, if that’s what he wants, I will give it him! Enough of this nonsense..I was gonna hit him back whatever way I can..first lemme deal with that Vodka..
I met her in the canteen ordering for lunch, so I patiently sat till she was through ordering and had a seat for herself..I marched towards her and before she said anything I drew the chair she sat, she fell with her ass on the floor, the glass of juice she had bought splashed on her, a little on me unfortunately..
“Ouch! Why not call David?!”
I suggested, when I noticed her mouth was opened but nothing came out..
I went straight to my room to prepare for the next competition.. I would have Jeremy take the couple portrait with me, of course there is no way he would refuse me..
But first, I need to see Madam Clara, she had been discharged and she was safely in her flat..the fashion house was indeed a castle..on getting there I had a thud..it wasn’t my flat so I knocked for a while, when no one answered I gently pushed the door, it opened..
“Madam Clara?”
No one answered, my heart missed, I was certain I heard something fall..God please..
I went to her room, I noticed the comb she had used to comb her hair..it had lots of her hair on it. God..it seems her hair had began to pull off..I was extremely scared..I heard the shower in her bathroom still running, so I hurried there to see Madam Clara unconscious on the bare tiles, with blood dripping from her nose..
“Jesus!”
I shouted in shock.! What do I do? I was confused.. I ran to her..OK wait I needed to cover her up first, I ran to her room to look for a cloth..I called Jeremy immediately.. He appeared within minutes and she was rushed back to the hospital..
David appeared minutes later with Joanne the fly tailing him from behind as usual..he got to where I sat, Jeremy had rushed in to see if the Doctor was in his office already
“Where is Jeremy?”
David asked, oh so he could actually talk to me..I ignored him completely..
