Miss Peterson had messed up big time, she felt like a different person, a different person that she hated so bad, she felt so cheap, so useless, actually, she saw herself as a lose slut, giving herself a name of what she had done wasn’t easy, simply because it was totally embarrassing.
She stayed in the bathroom for quite some time, having deep thoughts, wondering how life would have been if she had all the support that she needed, her mother included.
She wished she would change the situation but everything was not up to her. Except all of that, Candice was a very smart young girl, she always watched out if protection was there.
She was very afraid of pregnancy, she knew she wouldn’t afford it
They hardly had chats, let alone general ones at that. She was never comfortable around her. She knew she had to save some of the money for her hair, and for fun of course, her fun was having the good stuff, she loved food so much so to her that was her fun. The big problem with the fun was that it had to come with its perks which were expensive. It wasn’t going to be really fun without her friends, so for her friends to be part of the fun she wanted, she knew she would have to explain where she had got the money and that was for her to know, it was personal, private and confidential. She knew telling her best friend about the white man story would just be a shout out to everyone, and the school would see her as a prostitute. Not that her best friend was a news spreader, no, she wasn’t, but Candice was mature enough to know in he
The guy was good looking, he had the looks, especially the looks that drove Candice mad, and actually, she had a soft spot for him, or maybe a little crush if there is something of that existence. “Thanks lov… I mean thanks Mark, thanks really, you look good too, and actually you always look good”. She looked at him straight in the eyes and he did some blushing to. “Agh nah, not like you though, you are always on point”, they both laughed. It was time for her to drop off, they hugged, he told her his doors were open if ever she needed help with anything and she appreciated that. They planned they were going to meet on a Friday when she came back from school just to do a few exam papers. They hugged, and she
Fortunately for her she was the "non school date", otherwise that was going to be a big blow for her. She really hated getting embarrassed in front of her boyfriend. School wasn't bad for her, although the pressure was sitting of her throat. But then she remembered she had a Mastermind in Mathematics, as soon as that thought slipped her mind, she put I her head that she had to call the guy. "Guys, am afraid I have to leave you now, I really had a good time, actually you made my day.". Candice said it full of laughter on her face. One of her classmates added " surely guys, it has to be more like a picnic next time, just chill in a park before we sit down for our final exams". They all agreed to that, although Candice couldn't control herself, the only thing that spun in her mind was to hear the guy saying he is home and obviously not busy. They all hugged, then she parted a
Things went to the next level, they had sex, they were both enjoying it like nothing else mattered. It was done, just like that, they didn't make love, but they had sex, just sex, that's all. As soon as they were done, Charles went out with Candice remaining behind on that bed. She didn't know how to react or feel, u mean she really liked the guy and now this! She enjoyed it all that had happened but felt like a slut, to sleep with a guy she wasn't dating wasn't cool at all. She dressed herself up and checked the time, she realized it was getting late. So by that, they tide up and prepared to leave the house before it was too late, and they did just that. Candice still found it shocking or maybe terrifying, she had done something she never thought she would eve
She wondered why her love life was always upside down, she was just having a bad luck with every guy that she got herself involved with. But then she wiped her tears and prepared for school. Candice was the type of a girl that hardly forgets, she always recalled things that even happened in her Chilhood when she was around 3 years, she was a very beautiful kid just like she was even in her teen years. Nothing much had changed in her beauty and personality. On her way back home from school, she saw a young boy in primary, not in a good situation or state. A torn jersey, dirty collar of shirt, old school shoes with a torn bag and scribe hair it was. She felt so bad on the inside, she got all emotional, wished to do something to help but unfortunately she co
"Tell me! " Candice got attacked by a strong heartbeat when she heard those words. " Are those dishes from last night or you all decided to wake up early and cook rice for breakfast? She proceeded before she even responded simply because she knew the answer to that. " I always make sure that you all get what you want but all you do is disappoint me everyday, and I don't understand why when I give you food everyday, have you ever gone to bed with an empty stomach? Of course not, reason being I give you food". Candice was getting used to using energy drinks just to sleep off the sleep. She worked hard, she tried her very best to study although her school work wasn't taken seriously.
She was forced to wake up early and do house chores whether she liked it or not, and that was the worst part of it. She usually grabbed two slices of empty bread and make her way to school. The only thing that spun on her mind was her dream, a dream that was rare, a passion that was hard to find in her realm, passion that was never found or even studied in varsities or colleges, that was writing. The way she loved it was beyond human expression, it's the only thing she knew and loved, so she decided to balance things out. Passion and exams it was. Boys aside. Studying was the only thing she thought of even at break time, she wasn't the only one though, she was with her classmates. Unfortunately they began with the hardest, trickiest paper which we all know of.&
Her family knew about it,her father was the most happy soul,he didn't believe it. Her family always thought that she always went to town just because she had a boyfriend or she wanted to hang out with friends. Truth is she was getting bored,staying home was more like staying in prison,besides the endless chores,it emotionally drained her. It was always a thought or a memory that came in her mind,followed by pain that ended in tears that flew down like a fountain. As it was an extended family that was complicated in a complicated way,not everyone was happy for her. Fake smile never costs anybody, that's exactly what Candice received after telling them the good news, but she was expecting it at least. She was just used to it. So she decided to ignore it and focus on what was useful.
Everybody sighed with silence for some minutes."Wow! Wow! Wow! Candice...i'm so happy for you, just hold on to the guy and don't sh*t him or else i will kill you with my bare hands". They all laughed.😃 It was just beautiful.They had left her at around lunch time, she was now all alone with the smiles in her face. She was a fan of Kevin Hart so she decided to watch the "Wedding Ringer". He was her main favourite actor actually. She heard a knock on the door,she let it repeat itself again. She didn't want disturbance but then her phone rang and guess what? It was bae😋. She couldn't be happier
"Started from the bottom now we here"! That was Candice."Ohhh man!!! When last did i hear this song"?they all sang it" Started from the bottom now we here"!!"And soon and very soon we'll be having our mansions and fancy cars, what we've always dreamt of, have credit cards of every shop and shop like crazy, bring the shops down with money such that whenever we get slightly spotted, the shops would just set everyone aside and let us occupy the whole shop".😂😂😂😂😂Milicent laughed till she coughed hard..."And then we get to hit Suncit
She went to her bedroom and tried to pick up the best outfit for herself, but at least she knew what she was looking for, a dress. She didn't have much of them compared to the jeans and pants. As soon as her eyes came across an old dress, she knew it was the one, surely it was and guess what? It was a yellow dress, one that made her days bright back in the days, it was the colour of life and happiness. It brought her smile back in her face since she remembered how much she loved it."Guys!🙈 how do i look"? They all turned at once.'AHHHHHHHH! WOW!WOOOOW😋! That's i
Time fled and exams were being jointed gown on papers, for the both of them. They would sometimes meet in town on an rush hour and wouldn't talk to too much to one another up until they met on the last day of their exams, not really on their last day for the both of them but on the last day of Candice."Hey! Uhhhm may i talk to you please...uhhhm i know we aren't on good talking terms right now because of my behaviour of ignoring you, listen Candice, i love you, nobody else, yes we are meant to fight, misunderstand and fight with one another but that doesn't mean we don't love another, it makes us more stronger. I had no choice but totally, completely dedicate myself on this course, i can't take a fall, you needed it also, you needed the space and i know it'
That's when he geared up the car and headed to the home of the hotels, she thought of telling him to turn the wheels but she couldn't, maybe because she loved food or something or to be spotted with a fancy and expensive guy, she didn't even know why she forced herself so much to go because all she could think about was Maxwell, thinking how torn apart he would be if he were to find out about what was happening in his absence. They got there "Sun Express Hotel",he rushed to open the door for her, it was for the first time, that shocked this lady because it had never happened before, what was different now! He held her handbag and headed to the reception where they ordered a simple breakfast and then decid
"Uhhm...not really, i mean yes i am going to town but not now, uhhm i am currently waiting for someone,so yeah thank you very much".She took a deep breathe because she knew that was a lie,a pure lie! Unfortunately for her, the guy knew she was lying. He really wanted to spend some time with her,just to talk, so he was willing to try to push till his last breathe,just to at least let her get into the car,what was even worse was that Candice was a hard nut to crack and he knew it."Candice,Candice...i know you okay,you seem to be forgetting that, i know you ftom letters A_Z okay"?
"Am just kidding babe...wanted your attention that's all. thing is we love one another right? This relationship has been going on for a while and it's been over a year now, i was thinking what could go wrong if we were to find a home church,where we can grow spiritually and a place where we can have meetings with God. God exists babe, he's there, you recognize the things that are lately happening in this world, in our country, our city, its exactly what God said will happen in His last book. We are now living in a world where a girl can fall deeply in love with another girl, where men kiss other men, where old men sleep with teens, who are more like daughters to them, and its about to go worse you know".
"Listen babe...listen...since today we are all about honesty...I have a confession to make, don't cry or be furious with me because I believe that it's all your fault, but that's not the reason why i raised this up. "Thing is i met this guy whom i went to high school with, when we met we did lots of catching up over a cup of coffee, after that we often met and we became friends again, we got so close that i ended up catching up feelings for him unexpectedly,it just happened babe...thing is he...no i can't go on". "Am waiting...say whatever you want to say".
Well...her boyfriend wanted to get this things for her, thing is he wasn’t wealthy, he was still educating himself for the best qualification that could ever exist,just that he had just began with the tuition." Oh my God! what do i do? how do i take control of this matter because it's a very big matter, it might not be right now but it will be in the end of time...it can be fun yes,very fun to do shoppings with him and be seen walking around with a celeb of the whole Southern Africa, Wait! or maybe a celeb for the whole continent". She laughed at herself whilst sitting in the lounge preparing supper for her boyfriend, but then no man!!!
