TRUTH AND LIES
(Alyssa)
Episode 26
Mico’s Pov continues:
“How dare you touch me? Are you that dumb?” She asked churlishly as I touched my cheek and looked at her.
“Alexa, whats wrong with you?” Alyssa asked as she held me.
“Gosh; I can’t believe I even touched you. It’s a good thing it didn’t ruin my nails. You won’t believe it if I told you the money I spent on my nails can feed you for ten years” she said .
I just kept watching confoundedly. the whole thing was coming as a shock to me.
Is this the same lady I was about to make my girlfriend? The same lady I thought was kind and friendly? Could there be a mistake somewhere? Or this is really Alexa?
“Come on Alexa. Let’s go. We’re running late” Jeenly said from behind and she glared at Alyssa before going to meet them.
“I’ve got my eyes on you” she told her as she finally entered the car and took off with her friends.
“Nigel” Alyssa called in a perturbed voice, holding my hand.
“Im…I’m so sorry. I don’t know what’s wrong with Alexa” she said sympathetically but I didn’t even look at her.
I was beginning to burn up.
I just removed my hands from hers and started walking away.
“Nigel!” She called. .
“I need to go” I said in a low voice without turning back to look at her.
“But…”
“Please don’t follow me” I cut her off and walked away .
I returned home in an exasperated manner and met my sisters and cousins in the sitting room.
“Mico!”
“Where have you been?”.”we’ve been waiting for you”.
“Where’s the girlfriend?”
They all asked at the same time but I walked past them and headed for the stairs.
“I need to be alone” I told them as I finally took the stairs and headed for my room.
The rage was coming again and I was scared I might do something crazy.
I heard them climbing the stairs with me but didn’t turn to look at them.
“Mico, what’s wrong?” Karen asked just as I opened the door of my room.
“I said I need to be alone!” I said raucously and walked in, slamming the door immediately.
Alexa’s Pov:
I paced restlessly at the balcony with my two friends standing by. I checked the time and it was almost 8pm. Why haven’t I heard anything from Mico yet?
He had told me he’d send his driver to pick me up but I still haven’t seen anyone since then. And to make it worst, I’ve been trying to call him but he’s not answering. And after calling for the umpteenth time, his phone was finally switched off.
“You need to calm down Alexa” Aj told me.
“How Aj? How can you ask me to calm down? It’s almost 8 o’clock and I still haven’t heard a word from him yet” I replied, worried.
“Maybe…he’s just trying to surprise you” Jeenly said and I gawped a her.
“Stop being stupid Jeenly. What surprise?” I asked angrily and continued walking tho and fro.
How can much do this to me? I spent so much money and effort preparing for this moment. How can he just betray me like this?
I tried calling him again and it was still switched off and this time around, I threw the phone on the floor and busted into tears.
Alyssa’s Pov:
I sat on the bed with my diary and pen, writing all about my encounters for the day.
I really feel very bad for Nigel. Why did Alexa have to slap him?
That Alexa is so troublesome. I can’t believe she really wants to Make me an enemy.
What have I ever done to her?
I also wrote about Jeremy. I hope I didn’t make a mistake by denying I had seen him when Nigel had asked me about him.
Well, I couldn’t tell why; I was just twitchy at that moment. I didn’t want to tell Nigel he had asked me for s*x.
I guess I was just feeling shy.
