"I should take my leave"
"OK,bye,but come later soon"
"OK" I carry my bag and walk out of his house.
"I wonder where Josie would be" I tell myself.
*****
I knock at the door of my house but I get no response. I knock again and still no response which makes me annoyed as I carry a stone and use it to knock the door then Josie opens it.
"Josie why didn't you open it the first time I knocked?" I ask her walking inside the house as she closes the door and follows me then I drop my bag on the bed and lie on the bed.
"Where were you?" She asks me as I sit down on the bed looking at her.
"Where were you?" She asks me again looking angry.
"I was with Clemy, any problem with that?"
"Yes,why would you not tell me? Do you know how worried I was?" She pauses then goes to the kitchen connected to our parlor as she takes a cup and a jug full of water,she pours a little water from the jug to the cup and drops the jug as she drinks the water in the cup and drops the cup.
She comes inside the room then continues.
"I went everywhere to look for you but I did not see you,what were you doing?,you were just having a date with Clement"she says the last eight words calmly.
"KEEP SHUT!"I shout quickly "I am not in love with Clemy did you hear that and we are not getting married.
"You're the one who always told me not to ever keep anything from you and I don't care if you love Clement,i have my own boyfriend,Kelvin,but,all I'm angry at is you did not tell me that you're going to meet Clement "
"KEEP QUIET!,do not say a word" I did not know when a lot of rage of anger fell into me as I stand up then continue.
"Do you think I love Clemy?" I ask her as she nods her head.
"Clement is a friend to me" I tell her already Calming down.
"OK I'm sorry,forgive me" Josie pleads holding her two ears with her thumb and index finger.
"I forgive you,but I want you to know something" I look at my shoe then look back at her.
"What?" She asks as she sits on the bed and I sit close to her.
"Kelvin is never coming to you" I tell her as she stands up.
"Why did you say that?" She looks at me annoyed.
"Because he does not know you,he does not even know if you exist."
"HEY,ARE YOU CRAZY!" Josie shouts at me as I stand up already afraid.
"What happened?" I ask her as she looks at me like she was disgusted.
"Kelvin is coming to meet me and there's nothing you can do" she pause like she wants to cry and like she's thinking of what to say.
"When you went to meet to meet Clement, you had a date with him"
"KEEP SHUT!" I shout with a lot of anger in me,I did not know when my right hand rose up and landed on her left cheek before I came to my senses.
"You you slapped me" she tells me reminding me that I slapped her.
"Josie,I did not mean to slap you, I was not going to slap you,I did not know when I slapped you,I am so sorry"
I touch her but she removes my hand.
"You slapped me,OK" she lies on the bed then closes her eyes.
"I am sorry,please forgive me" I plead with her still crying.
"You better come sleep" she tells me which makes me annoyed, I'm pleading with her and that's making her feel mighty.
"I'm not feeling sleepy and it's just four p:m I do not feel sleepy.
I carry my bag and walk out of the house but before I could walk further.
"Where are you going?" Josie's voice stops me.
"For a stroll" I walk away still annoyed.
******
Josie p.o.v
—————
"Was I too harsh on her?" I ask myself in my mind trying to identify my mistake.
But why would she say such a thing that Kelvin would never come to me,oh my gosh,she annoys me. Kelvin is my life,my heart and he loves me which I'm one hundred percent sure of that.
I stand up from the bed and check the time in the wall clock. it's been ten minutes she went for a stroll and she's not back.
I know she likes Clement, she is just lying to me,I can not forgive her for what she did to me,she said Kelvin will never fall in love with me,lier.
I look at the door and see her come in as she drops her bag on the bed then lie on the bed.
I go to the parlor and turn on the TV expecting her to come and apologize to me but she does not come out and just close her eyes.
I look at her and become more annoyed at why she did not even come to apologise as I go inside the room to meet her.
"Babe" I call her as she opens her eyes to look at me.
"What?" She sits on the bed"why did you call me?" She asks me which makes me annoyed.
"You can't even come to apologise for slapping me" I tell her already feeling stupid.
"I apologized to you and you rejected which makes me angry and so I am not apologizing to you again for this matter,get it so leave me alone I would like to sleep"
I become more annoyed and sit on the bed as she lie on the bed.
"I am annoyed with you and I will never forgive you in my life"
I stand up from the bed and walk a few steps then stop.
"I love Kelvin and he loves me to,we are getting married soon" I walk out of the room to the parlor as I sit on the couch watching an American show.
******
"I feel so sleepy" I look into the room and see Babe already asleep.
I yawn and check the time on the wall clock in the parlor.
I stand up, What? The time is 11:41 pm and I am still awake,I should go and sleep.
I go inside the room and see Babe still asleep.
She thinks Kelvin doesn't like me she even said he doesn't know me,I would show her.
I walk out of the room then yawn again with water in my eyes.
Maybe tomorrow, I go back to the room and lie on the bed as I close my eyes.
***** I open my eyes, already awake as I see Babe all dressed."Oh, you're awake now." Babe tells me. I ignore her presence."Hey,what's wrong with you?" She asks me with a commanding tone but I do not care as she continues."You don't want to forgive me huh then I won't forgive you, get it?" She carries her pink bag which is the only bag she has."Where are you going?" I ask her quickly before she went out of the house."None of your business" she replies me and walks out of the house.***** What does she take me for? Does she think I'm stupid? Does she think I can't fall in love? Does she think she's the only one that can fall in love? I think I should go to Anna's place,she would be able to help me meet Kelvin I should call Babe and tell her.I pick my phone from the chair I was sitting on and dial Babe's number and to my surprise she answer the call."Hello" Babe's voice rings in my ear.
"Morning sleepy beautiful" a voice wakes me up as I smile knowing it's Babe."Babe,leave me alone, don't wake me up" I tell her putting a pillow on my head."Hey,I'm not Babe" the voice tells me as I remove the pillow from my head shocked then I see Anna."Oh,hi Anna" I lie on the bed again then sigh."Missing Babe?" Anna asks me as I don't respond. I am missing her but I will not go back to that house until Babe apologizes to me till I'm satisfied."Are you?" Anna asks me again reminding me of the question she asked."No" I lie to her as I stand up from the bed chewing my lips,that's how I do when I'm lying chew my lips."You're lying" Anna tells me,she already knows,her and Babe always know when I'm lying."No I'm not" I try to lie again as she faces me."Come on,you can't lie to me" she tells me."OK,you caught me but I'm not going back there until she comes and apologize to me" I fold my hands together and rest it on my
"Let me sing a song for you" Clemy takes a guitar from the back of his chair."Do you keep guitars there?" I ask him confused as she shakes his head."No,can I start singing?" He asks as I nod."Look at beautiful eyes,they're so magical and beautiful eyes" he starts with his beautiful voice as I smile then he continues"When I look at your eyes I see the beauty there,when I look at your eyes I get lost in there,I can see your beautiful eyes making me fall for you. I think I've fallen for them,oh your beautiful eyes are all I see when I look you,I think ——" he stops then smiles."I think I should stop there" he pauses facing his wristwatch then continues facing me"I mean, it's late already, it's 7:40 pm,when do you want to go if not now?" He stands up as I face the wall clock."Oh my gosh,it's 7:40" I tell him almost shouting."I'll drop you home" he looks at me with so much concern in his eyes"so you won't have an accident, it's getti
"Hello Clemy, what happened? Why aren't you talking to me?" I ask Kelvin still on the phone.I hang up.I run to my room and carry my bag on the bed and run out of the house."Cab!." I cry after seeing a cab making mereally afraid for Clemy then it stops in front of me causing me to enter it and he drives away."Drive faster!." I shout at the driver looking at my phone and trying Clemy's number but it's switched off."Please Madam it's illegal to drive very fast and crazy." He warns me."Hey,I did not say you should drive recklessly, I only said you should drive quickly you're the one who thought in your mind that you want to drive recklessly so don't blame me." I warn the driver as he continues driving shivering.The cab stops at Clemy's place causing me to run out of the cab so I can get there as quick as possible. I pay the cab man money then he drives away.I knock at the do
"No, Anna just don't joke for I'm not joking." I sniff."Are you crying?." She asks me making me realize I was too loud when I sniff in even though I was crying."No,I'm not." I lie to her clearing a drop of tears already on my left cheek." Let's forget about that and focus on the future,well let me tell you why I called you.""Why'd you call me?." Anna asks."Well I tried Josie's number but she didn't answer my call so I think I would like to come to your house." I scratch my neck with my long fingernails."With, you're missing Josie right?." She asks me as I smile but I'm sure she won't know."Oh yes I miss her,I can't do without my big sister,she's my best friend and I'd like to talk to her,it's important." I sigh then continues."I just hope after
******"Josie you're so funny." Clemy tells Josie and laughs again."The funny part of it was I eventually got grounded." Josie tells Clemy and the both of them laugh.I am not part of their talk because I was there when it was all happening and she's told me over and over again and I don't get the reason why it's funny,it's so boring."Oh Clemy let me tell you the story of when I first learnt how to drive but I didn't really know how to drive and I hit a man." Josie starts then Clemy sits like he's interested then Josie continues"That time my mom and Dad had died so I was looking for money to take care of my little sister Babe,I then decided to learn how to drive,I began to drive cars and paid a man money to teach me,the last money I had,I learnt how to drive for that month but was not a good driver,the next month he asked me for money which I didn't have so I quit.I decided to be a driver
**** "Cab!." I cry out as a cab stops at my front then I look at the man inside the car its a black American.I enter the car with so much excitement. Oh my,I have gotten a job,this is the first job I'm ever getting in my life well not my first job but my first company job but I've done a lot of jobs like cooking, house maid, waitress, selling and so many like that but the one that I worked as a waitress was not in a big restaurant, it was just in a local little shop,now I've gotten a company job and I'll be paid $10,000."Madam,please where am I going to?." The cab driver asks me snapping me from my thoughts."I've been waiting here for over three minutes and you haven't told me where we're going to." The cab driver reminds then I check the time and he's wrong we've been here for over five minutes."I'm so sorry,I was lost in thought." I quickly confess to him."OK,just be driving straight then I'll tell you when we should go left or right."
* "She was behaving so weird, I'm telling the truth." I tell Clemy who doesn't believe me."Are you sure? Or was she just playing with you?." Clemy asks me looking serious."No, she was not just playing with me,she looked serious." I tell him."OK,so what do you think could have caused Josephine to behave that way?." Clemy asks me but I don't have an answer."Clemy,I just want to forget about that matter and talk about another matter." I tell him almost sad."OK." He tells me smiling."Oh, Clemy, I've good news." I remember what I told Josie."What's the good news?." He asks me as I smile."Well, I've gotten a new job." I tell him jumping up."Really?." He asks me looking really happy then I sit down."And it's a company job.""Really?.""Yes." I smile well I know it won't be so shocking for him that it's a company job because he's worked as a CEO of a company but he still seems happy for me more than Jos
******"And Kelvin was like 'where is my food?'" I mimic him causing Dave to laugh. "I glared at him like he was a dog begging for bones, which if I do see a dog begging for a bone, I will give it billions of bones and I will even take it to my house for care, but Kelvin is worse that a dog."Dave laughs. "Oh you're so funny. That's my daughter."Christopher comes in with a tray, two cups of orange juice. She stands in front of Dave. He collects it and smile, she walks to me, just like Dave I collect it."Thank you Christopher." I just love calling her name, it's so beautiful and lovely to call 'Christopher'.She walks away with the tray."I love that girl. How old is she?" I ask, acting really curious to know."Eighteen." He replies without looking at me, just facing the juice. He takes a sip, and drops it on the yellow glass center table.&nbs
I walk downstairs, and see Kelvin frowning."What happened now?" I ask, rolling my eyes not actually interested in his boring speech, knowing it will be useless."You didn't bring my lunch to myself mg mg myself workplace. I stayed hungry." He gives me a 'I know you would not have given me though' look causing me to laugh."How many times must I tell you I do not care about you. You know I'll never bring your lunch to you, and I'm pregnant, so get out of sight." I walk upstairs*********"Dave, where do you live?" I ask, talking to him on the phone, clearing the dust on my finger nails, painted red, just by releasing hair from my mouth."I live close to Ragard Street. The next street after Ragard Street is mine." He replies sounding happy, obviously expecting to see me at his house today. Well then I've got to go to his house."I don't think I know Ragard Street." I have heard of that st
"You stupidly went to the big fountain and attempted to commit suicide." He looks very angry as I chuckle."So?" I ask."So? Are you in your right senses?!" His eyes red again."Mr, why do you care about what I do? You don't love me, right?." I suck my teeth as he gives me an out of word and annoyed look."No." He replies me almost in a loud tone."So why do you care?" I ask as he shakes his head."Because the media are saying it, and it can ruin my reputation." He finally tells me, and he's got a point."Well, I don't care." I turn to walk away as he drags me back with force, causing me to hit my stomach on his hard stomach."Oh my God!" I begin to groan as tears rush down from my eyes.Kelvin's p.o.v——————–"What happened to you?" I ask a little afraid.She closes her eyes, and falls to the floor, as I hold her.

I turn to look at who's there, and see a man who looks old, wearing a black shirt and a red trouser, with a blond hair."Who are you?" I ask trying to hold my tears."I am David, call me Dave." He sighs."So why did you stop me from doing what I want to do?" I ask, a drop of tear coming out of my mouth as he sits on the head of the big fountain."My dear, please have you sit." He puts his two hands at his both sides on the head, as I sit close to him crying."Why are you crying?" He asks."You can't understand Dave." I sniff in."Why?" He uses his left hand to hold my hand."Because you are not in my position." I begin to sob as he sighs."I might not be, but I can advice you.""Well, okay."*********"And so that is my story." I continue sobbing."So, you wanted to commit suicide

I am going to get divorced and live with Josie, I will start a new life and some other people might still want to get married to me, I will first go meet Clement, yes I agree I was in love with Clement before I fell in love with a fool called Kelvin.I pack my bags, then drop them on the bed.I will come take my bags after I am sure they want to take me back, I will first go meet Clement and ask if he wants to get married to me, I know I might not love him like before, but my child will have a father."Babe!" Kelvin's stupid voice causes me to room my eyes and sigh. He stops walking at my front then gives me an angry look."What is wrong now?" I ask not interested to know."You foolish girl didn't iron my cloth even after I insisted." He tells me looking even more angry.I stand up then stay at his front."What do I look like
