Just The Beginning ?
Episode seventeen
Alex
Am on my way to George’s house and I’ve tried to call him, with no avail. I can’t believe I have to play stupid games just to get away from Stacy and her craziness!
I really don’t like lying to but I’d rather that, than tell her the truth, which would probably kill her.
I knock on George’s door and stand there for a whole minute, before he unlocks it. I put my leg in between the door when he tries to slam it on my face as soon as he sees me and walk right in.
” What Men! You should stop acting like a brat. ”
” And you should stop acting like a bitch already. All this calling and stalking is making me think you are in love with me and for your information am totally straight! ”
” Stop it already, am in deep shit and I need your help. ”
” Why would you think I’d help you after what you did to me? ” he asks walking over to the kitchen, grabbing a drink. He later on walks back to the sitting room and sits on the sofa, acting as if am not even there.
” How long will you keep doing this? Okay, am sorry, I promise not to mess with vee again, ” I say sitting next to me.
” You are apologizing to the wrong person here and anyway, you already destroyed any chance I had with her, ” he says with a frown.
Seeing him like this makes me feel kind of bad. He really did fall for her, hard!
” If you want, I can apologize to vee personally. I really didn’t think that whatever I said to her will mess with you to. Am really sorry, I promise not to interfere with you two anymore. Am going to let you make your own mistakes and learn from them, ” I say my hand on his shoulder.
” I don’t think that’s a good idea, you two can’t stand each other. Isn’t it funny how she’s punishing me for your mistake, kind of how what you are doing with her, ” he says and I look at him confused.
” What are you talking about? ”
” I know that they only reason you don’t like vee is because of her comparison with Stacy, I mean, they both have the same angel faces, same height and body physique. They are both also daring and that’s why you lashed out on her the first time you saw her, because she reminds you of Stacy. ”
” Now that’s what we call crazy talk, I don’t think they are similar in anyway. The only reason i don’t like her is because i know what kind of a girl she is. ”
“How would you know that, yet you know nothing about her?” George aks gazing at me. ”
” Okay, I admit that I did let out my frustrations on her and that wasn’t fair but I still don’t think she’s right for you. ”
” I don’t care what you think Alex and if you really want to make everything right again ,you have to keep your word and apologize to vee. ”
” Okay….. I will, but can we talk about me now! ”
” Yeah, sure, ” he says with a bored tone. ” What happened ? ”
” Stacy twisted the story and lied to my mum, claiming that I was the one cheating. Can you believe that chic?! ” I say looking at him but he doesn’t look surprised in the least.
“What did you expect? You should know she’s capable of doing anything by now. ”
” Well, that’s not the worst part. Mum is sick and is not supposed to be in any kind of stress and Stacy is using that against me. Mum was forcing me to marry Stacy and to save myself, I lied that I was already in love with some other girl, who’s expecting my baby! ”
George looks at me shaking his head with a smile.
” What’s so funny dude!? ”
” I just can’t believe you involved a child in this. ”
“There was no other way out. Mum desperately wants a grandchild and it was either that or marry that she devil. ”
” Okay…that’s simple.All you have to do is find someone and pay them to act as your fake, pregnant girlfriend. ”
” I know it but I need you to help me find the perfect girl, someone we can trust and will take the job seriously. I need mum to completely buy it .”
” Don’t worry. We will find her and maybe you are even going to fall in love with her for real? ” George says wiggling his eye brows.
” Don’t count on that, I am already done with all that love shit. I’ve had enough! ”
” Okay now, let’s go, ” he says standing up, his car keys in his hand.
” Where are we going? ”
” To the club, you have an apology to make, remember? ”
I groan getting up and walk out, with him behind me.
*****
In about half an hour, we are in the club and we order some beers. George keeps looking around nervously for vee but she’s no where to be seen.
” Why are you so nerves? It’s not like you are going to propose to her or something. ”
” I can’t explain it. I really want to see her but at the same time not sure how she’s going to react when she sees me. What if she gets more upset with me?”
” Okay… It’s official now. You are clearly whipped! Lets just hope you don’t regret it. ”
” I wont, ” George says, his eyes still roaming around, as our beer finally served, by this guy who is busy glaring at me.
Wait, I know this guy.
” I know you, right? ” I ask but he just assumes me. ” Of course, I remember you now. You are violets boyfriend, ” I say capturing all of Georges attention as he looks at the guy.
” Am glad you remembered. I hope you are not here to cause any trouble for vee because this time, I wont hold myself back and believe me, smashing your pretty face will be my pleasure, ” he says a fake smile on his face and then leaves.
I look at George and he seems deep in thought and kind of shattered. Am glad the guy came over, maybe he will finally give up on vee.
” So… It’s true that she has a boyfriend,” he says softly, mostly to himself.
” Of course, I already told you about it. ”
” I thought you were bluffing, maybe that’s why she asked me to stay away and she was right, I shouldn’t be here, ” he says getting up and am glad that he’s finally back to his senses.
It’s better he stays away from her before she hurts him any further and anyway it’s so clear that she’s not interested in him.
” Okay, let’s go, ” I say but as am about to get up, he pushes me gently back in the seat.
” Where do you think you are going? ”
” I thought you said we were leaving, ” I say looking at him like he’s gone mad. ”
“I said I, not we. You still have to apologize to her. ”
” What?! I thought you were already done with her? ”
” Yes, I wont bother her anymore but you still have to apologize. That was part of the agreement, remember? ”
” Okay, ” I say sighing softly, as I get comfortable.
” See you later, ” he says with a wave and I watch him leave.
A few bored minutes later, the guy who I think is the manager, announces that vee is about to perform and everyone gets all excited.
She walks up the stage dressed in a short tight silky pink dress, and white shiny high heels. The dress was definitely made for her as it shows off her perfect curves.
I can’t believe am saying this but she looks like a goddess walking up the stage and every guy here seems to be mesmerized by her, they definitely worship her.
I get a good look at her now as she starts her performance and I can’t help but notice she looks Good as hell! No wonder George is crazy about her.
Her eyes linger on me for a second and she looks kind of uncomfortable but that doesn’t stop her from giving a breath taking performance.
Am not really sure why am praising her today, but I think am just feeling guilty.
Guilty that i judged her without knowing her first.
Guilty that i destroyed any chance George had with the first girl that he has ever liked.
Believe me when I say that I had never seen him this crazy over a girl before, and now he’s broken and it’s all my fault. I may not think they are right for each other, but who am I to interfere with their lives?
In about an hour and a half, vee is done and I follow her to get this over and done with.
I see her enter a room that is labeled ” Dressing room ” and i enter without knocking and freeze at the sight in front of me, Dmn!
