Kicked out

“Is everything okay?” Hardy asked as Brenda kept staring at the figure, trying to be certain that she was seeing clearly

“ Are you okay?” came the voice of Hardy placing his right hand over hers

Looking up at him, stunned, “Yeah, yeah I’m fine, uhmm could you please drop me at the next bus station? I think I might need to get somewhere!”

Brenda said, frowning as if she had forgotten about my schedule,” Oh really, why not let me drop you off then ?”

“ Oh, no please, I already feel bad about you driving me home, this is more than generous of you”

Brenda couldn't wait to get out of his presence, just so she didn't have to speak with him any longer

“ it, fine let me drive you to the next station,” he said in a sad tone

She didn't want to burden him any longer, the drive down to the next station was short and quiet.

She hopped out almost immediately and she started walking away from his car without even thanking him for his gesture

“ Are you sure you'll be fine alone ?” he asked as his car moved slowly beside her

This was already irritating her, and it was starting to attract attention, which she hated.

“ Look, can we do this some other time, I don't like attention in any way “

“ Yeah, it's fine, I’ll give you a call later then damsel,” Hardy said

Brenda was about to ask him, how on earth is he going to get through to her if he didn't have her number.

But She just watched as his car disappeared into the distance before she stood to wave down a cab to take me back home.

Brenda knew she had all the means to solve all my problems, with just one word to Will, But it would only make her look like a gold digger, even though what she felt for Will was true love.

Even though their affair was forbidden and couldn't be discovered, she still wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.

Finally able to stop a cab, she made her way home, with so many thoughts clouding her mind.

Coming down from the car, she could hear her parents screaming at the top of their voices.

Brenda quickly paid for the car, as she rushed to get home forgetting about her change

Mum, Dad! What is going on?”

“ Oh my dear!” her mother responded as tears fell down her eyes, “what's going on and why are our bags outside ?”

Brenda asked running towards the bags to pack them together, “Oh my child hold on, you see we've been hiding this from you for quite some time now ?”

“ What exactly is the problem, mum? Dad!” she asked facing her dad this time around hoping for a response as quickly as possible

“ I feel ashamed telling you this, but we are been evicted from this house, as we've not even been able to meet up with the rent!”

The houses were built, very close to each other, this made their neighbors entertained by their little emotional display

“ So right now we have no home unless we pay the rent ?”

“ Yes, my child, it's quite a lot, unless you are already thinking of a way to pay it off!” her mother said with tears in her eyes,

“It's fine Mother, let me have the letter!” she said stretching her hands to collect the letter from her mum, she carefully opened the letter to see how much debt they had.

She was shocked by the figure she saw it was much higher than the actual amount Will sent to her

This devastated her, as there was no progress made, “What do we do ?” she asked

Her Mother kept on crying, “Where do we go from?” her Father injected as they all hugged each other

Consoling themselves, but Brenda couldn't stand the thought of them living on the streets, it was too dangerous.

“ Okay, you know what, I will be right back no, one leaves here!” Brenda leaves a stern warning to her parents as she rushes off

“ hold on, my child where are you heading to “

Brenda’s mum calls out to get her as she runs off, down the street, sweating profusely hoping she could convince the owner of the building to give her more time to pay off the rest of the debt, she had to slow down to breathe.

As she was at the owner’s office, “Can, can I..” Brenda said stopping halfway

As she was lost for breath, “Who are you and what do you want it closing hours already, James doesn't see clients by this time..”

“Oh, no I have to see Mr James, it is quite urgent please!!”

Brenda pleaded as she finally caught her breath, “Are you listening at all ?” the bodyguard asked, clearly irritated already, knowing fully well that Brenda was troubling, having dealt with the likes of her

Who tried to barge Into Mr. James’ office, he was running out of patience.

“Please, I heard you but, I just have to see Mr. James, it is important please!!”

Brenda kept on pleading, now on the verge of tears, and with the way things were headed she had best pleaded with the bodyguard earnestly

“Well, I am sorry you will have to come back tomorrow !”

“I can't come back tomorrow don't you get it “ Brenda exclaimed loudly in frustration

“ I should be the one asking you if you are not listening to me, it is past his working hours, and he can't see you !”

Brenda knew if she left tonight, Mr. James would give out the building to someone else, and she couldn't afford to move.

“ I can't leave, and I won’t leave until I speak with Mr James!”

Brenda protested, screaming at the top of her voice, hoping to get the attention of Mr James

But it was going badly for her, as the bodyguard, suddenly lifted her off the ground and moved her away from the main building

Brenda screamed louder, struggling and fighting fiercely to get out of the bodyguard’s girl

“ Let her be!!” came a low shallow voice, in the dark part of home.
