“Mr. Whyte!” Myra exclaimed pushing him away.“What is it that you’re trying to say?” “I asked if you’d like to know what it feels like to be loved” Cody answered boldly.“Sometimes I fantasize about it… won’t be bad” she answered blushing all through her replies.“Would you like to try that with me?” Cody asked.“Mr. Whyte! How could you like someone like me, I’m too young I have nothing at all to offer you” she exclaimed again.“I’m not asking for anything, I’m just asking you to be you” Cody said showing a lot of emotions he barely showed to anyone except for Annalise. Myra grew uncomfortable she was looking for a way out when her phone beeped on the kitchen counter.“Oh darn it that must be my mum, haven’t been home since yesterday she must be worried sick” she said at the top of her voice.“You don’t live home anymore how will your mum know?” Cody queried her.“I guess that’s Alison then, I have to go Mr. Whyte… have a nice day” she said and hurried out of the kitchen she run t
The tablet sat on the table calling Amaya, Dylan sat in the sofa waiting for her to answer, Rosa sat beside him. The call got connected but Nina sat at the other end of the phone smiling. The smile faded when she saw Rosa seated beside Dylan. “Hello, Nina… erh how are you?” Dylan fidgeted. “I’m fine and you?” She answered with a straight face.“I’m fine, this is my new girlfriend…” Dylan lied he hadn’t even asked her to be his girlfriend but Rosa smiled anyway not caring how Dylan introduced her “Rosa this is… erh my cousin’s best friend Nina” Rosa waved at Nina with a friendly smile while Nina reluctantly waved back. Amaya was at Nina’s place and Nina had answered the call when Amaya had left her in the living room to go attend to her daughter. Rosa looked past Nina and scrutinized the background, it looked extremely familiar and now that she saw the familiarity Nina began to look familiar to her too. Just then images of a pregnant woman seated in a summerhouse and drinking tea
Amaya frantically scrolled through the photos on her phone Nina just sat there looking at her and sighing every minute. “Surprisingly, she’s not in my gallery” she exclaimed and Nina just rolled her eyes.“Dylan is a grown man, you don’t need to keep tabs on him and every woman he dates” Nina reminded her.“That is true, but this woman looks like someone I know” Amaya said.“Amaya, you take money from people and tail their men to find out if they’re cheating, is it surprising that this woman looks familiar?” Nina said mockingly.“I stopped doing that a long time ago, besides you were the one who encouraged me to do that business” Amaya accused her.“Because you were good at it… this woman could be one of the women who came to you for help long ago” Nina said casually.“Or she could’ve been a mistress” Amaya added.“What ever it is leave it in the past! Dylan is not your son let him grow on his own” Nina called her out.Nina calling her out seemed to have provoked Amaya, she was the re
Myra saw Cody off down the streets yet Cody’s car was at the parking lot but he didn’t want Myra to know because he wasn’t ready to answer why he was using a different car neither was he ready to introduce her to Seth. He didn’t want to give her any impression that he was rich or from an affluent background. He was trying to create an image, that he was an average worker in a company that paid well that’s all. Whatever he was selling Myra seemed to be buying it.“Mr. Whyte, did you mean what you said back there?” Myra asked.“What” Cody replied with another question.“What you told my dad, about helping me so you could make me work for you in future” Myra asked.Cody smiled and shook his head.“I told him what he wanted to hear, he likes to see you work for everything, he thinks your mother has spoilt you” Cody answered Myra smiled with relief.“How did you know? That’s exactly what he thinks” Myra confirmed.“I could see it on his face, but what he said is also true, nothing is
“Is that why you paid someone to stalk me?” Cody suddenly asked and Nina went mute. When did Cody find out he was being stalked, she only used to randomly call his office to find out if he was at work and over the years he was also confirmed to be in his office until two weeks ago he was reported to have left earlier than usual throughout that week. So she got someone to tail him and bug his cars and office. Knowing Cody she knew he’d never bring a girl home, he’d rather get a place and take her there that’s why she never bothered to put any surveillance cameras in his home. Only a tracker and sound recorder so she could where exactly he was headed and eavesdrop on his conversations since Cody would catch on quicker if she installed a camera.“I didn’t stalk you” she said and pretended to focus on the tv.“Do you know what kind of trauma that gives me? Why did you pay someone to follow me? Nina you just sparked memories I have long forgotten memories that feel like a nightmare” Cody
Rosa and Dylan walked into the living room eating some candied strawberries. “Did you have fun tonight?” Dylan asked and Rosa smiled. “Of course I did… sign me up for the next concert”She said and sang one of Eileen’s song and twerked.“Of course we’ll do this again” Dylan said and made for his room “Get some rest, have a good night” he said trying to avoid getting aroused by her seductive moved.Rosa walked up to him and stopped him from going inside. Why did Dylan always act like he was avoiding her yet introduced her to others as his girlfriend, he wouldn’t touch her, hug her or even ask her to be his woman yet he’d tell others that they were together.“Why do I feel like you’re always avoiding me..” Rosa asked him.“Oh really? Why would you feel that way is there something I’m doing wrong?” He asked in concern.“No you’re perfect Dylan, I just want to know if you like me” Rosa asked. Dylan sighed “go and freshen up and let’s talk”They both left to their respective rooms to t
When Dylan ended the call Cody was anxious, he realized he really wanted answers to all that happened. He wanted to get rid of the hate he felt for Eileen he wanted to look at Cecil without seeing him as the fruit of his mistakes. He kept his fingers crossed and hoped that Dylan would call him back. At the grocery store Rosa was busily pushing a shopping cart and buying the things on her list. She pushed her cart but it wouldn’t move she raised her head and her eyes met the gaze of a man she had never seen before. He was tall and lanky and had a scar above his right eye. He looked at her with so much relief and hugged her. “I can’t believe I found you again… where on earth did you go? Why did you do this to us?” He said grabbing Rosa’s arm and dragging her after him.“Let go! Who are you and where are you taking me?” Rosa yelled.“Rosa? Don’t you remember me? I’m your husband? Don’t you remember?” The man cried.“Hus… husband? I have a husband?” She asked in confusion. People were
Alison and Myra walked out of the lecture hall holding their bags. “You can feel spring kicking in!” Alison sniffed and happily bounced while they walked to the hostel.“I’m so hungry, don’t you have any food in your dormitory?” Myra asked. “We’d have to go home and rob our parents and run away” Alison suggested.“I robbed them last week and the previous week and I still don’t have food, we have to control our appetite” Myra said desperately.“Or you can stop hiding from Mr. Whyte so he brings us food everyday” Alison suggested.“Mr. Whyte is not a delivery man, and he keeps asking me to date him” Myra moaned.“I wish I were you, I’d have said yes before he even asked me to be his girlfriend” Alison said.“Go ask him then” “Myra I know you like him, you’re only playing hard to get, if you see him with someone else I know you’re going to cry” Alison teased her. “I want my first boyfriend to be my last that’s why I’m taking my time, I want that magical experience, no bitter break u
