A glimpse of her episode 8 – 9
A Glimpse Of Her (episode 8 & 9)
No one loves to share the love, attention and affection of their significant other with another, especially of the same gender. It’s natural for a person to get jealous and heartbroken when someone else wants to take their place in the life of their lover, talk more when the same person confronts and threatens you too. It’s quite apparent that Lauren went too far by confronting Tiffany and asking her to leave Michael alone. The fact that she ceased every opportunity to downgrade Tiffany by saying she was no match for a man like Michael, only made matters worst and even more sensitive. There were no doubts that Lauren lied about so many things she said that day but sadly, her harsh lies had already done damage to the fragile and innocent heart of Tiffany. The seed of mistrust and discord has successfully been planted in her heart and without giving Michael the chance to explain or defend himself, she already jumped into conclusion that he had been cheating on her and possibly taking her for a ride all along.
After Lauren drove off, it took a while before Tiffany was able to put herself together and find her way home. While in a taxi heading home, Michael called her severally but she was too emotionally devastated to pick up. If she had picked up the call while in the taxi, there was no doubt that she would have broke down in tears and probably create a scene so the best thing for her to do was to ignore the call till she got home. Shortly after she arrived home, he called her again and this time around, she picked up.
“Hello” Tiffany soberly said and without being told, Michael could tell she had been sobbing. “Are you ok? What’s with the crying tone” he curiously asked and that was when she burst out crying. “What have I ever done to you to deserve the constant humiliation you put me through? Did I do anything wrong by falling helplessly in love with you and giving you my whole heart?. Why do you constantly do things to me that I’m sure you won’t tolerate if I did same to you. It’s not enough that your side chick is now confronting me in my work place but she also has the effrontery to call me names and downgrade me with demeaning words. Would you ever forgive me if a guy I was cheating on you with did same to you? Why aren’t I enough for you Michael? I’m honestly tired and done” she soberly said.
To be honest, Michael was finding it extremely hærd to understand or figure out where everything Tiffany had said was coming from. He was totally confused because from what he remembers, he hadn’t cheated on her since they started dating; not even for once so it was kinda strange hearing her say all those things over the phone. Just when he was about to defend himself from the accusation levied against him, Tiffany felt he was telling more lies and instantly ended the call.
When the call ended, Michael hurriedly got dressed and zoomed off to Tiffany’s house. He drove faster than he had ever driven to any destination all his life. A ride that usually took him about 30 minutes ended up taking just 10 minutes due to the speed he used in driving there. One thing was quite certain that day and it was the fact that Michael wasn’t about to let the love of his life slip away from his hands. Not in this lifetime!
Immediately Michael arrived at Tiffany’s house, he knocked properly at first but when she wasn’t opening up so he resorted to banging the door. “Open this door, be rest assured that I won’t leave till you do” he s¢ræmed as he banged the door h-rder. After banging for a while, the door finally opened. “Babe what’s wrong with you? What’s with all this strange attitude and behavior of yours? One minute we are cool and the next minute you are labeling me with all sorts of accusations and calling me a cheat. What happened to first having a proper communication if you heard or saw something about me. C’mon babe, this relationsh¡p can’t work if we don’t communicate before you jump into conclusions. I believe you are much more better than being easily manipulated by some liars trying to paint me black” he said while almost out of breath.
When Michael was done talking, Tiffany gave him a piece of her rage. “Same way I have been easily manipulated by your lies, deceit and distrust. Tell me why I aren’t enough for you? What else do you want from me before you can just be faithful. What do you gain by having multiple woman on the side and then deceive me into believing that I’m the only one for you?. Do you think it’s fun to destroy and play with people’s heart when you can’t create one? How can you stand here and have the audacity to still lie to me even after you know deep on your heart that you are a chronic cheat and womanizer. This fear you inspire in me is the exact reason I have been holding back from completely giving myself to you. I might not be the most flashy person on earth but I have my dignity and would never beg to be loved the way I know I deserve. Go back to your side chicks and leave me alone. At this point, I didn’t even know for sure if I’m the main side or a side chick too. You have done a lot to me and my mental health so therefore I need space from you and this relationsh¡p” she soberly said.
At that moment, there was this silence in the atmosphere. There were over a thousand words Michael wanted to say to defend himself but he was rather speechless. The fact that Tiffany trusted the words of a stranger over his daily affirmation of love to her made him extremely disappointed. She didn’t even bother to give him the benefit of doubt before jumping into conclusion. That was indeed hurtful to Michael and rendered him powerless. However, before taking his leave, he had few words for her.
“I deserve to equally be loved without constant judgements and prejudice. You can’t claim to love me but yet jump into conclusions at every given thing you hear or see about me. It’s not my fault that I have a career that endears people to me especially the opposite s-×. What do you want me to do to make you trust me and believe that I have eyes for only you. Since we started dating, I have never cheated on you not even for once. Do you think I couldn’t if I truly wanted to? Do you know how many temptations I overcome every single day? Do you know how many advances from women I turn down occasionally? What on earth do you want from me Tiffany?. How else do you what me to prove that I’m legit and not here to waste your time. For crying out loud, what happened to communicating things with me before jumping into conclusions. I thought we are all adults but once again, you have proved to me that you easily get manipulated by words and to be honest, I think I equally deserve better than this emotional torture you put me through everytime. I’ll leave now because I don’t want you to crush my spirit any further. You know where to find me whenever you are ready to talk” Michael said and walked away without looking back. When he left, Tiffany slammed the door and burst into uncontrollable tears afterwards. It was at that point she realized that she was wrong by handeling the matter the way she had done. The realization that she could lose the love of her life made her cry even more.
While Tiffany soaked her pillows with tears all night, Michael wasn’t far fetched from that reality too. He was moody and stayed indoors all through the remaining hours of that day. He almost cried at some point but held back the tears as thoughts consumed his mind. Countlessly, he picked up his phone to call Tiffany’s so as to apologize but held himself back as much as he could. It took a serious level of self control for him too pull that off. It wasn’t easy!
Up until that moment, Michael still wasn’t aware of what could have triggered Tiffany to act that way. He never got the chance to ask her due to how hurt and disappointed he was at the time they had that conversation at her house. The cause of the issue was still a mystery to him but not for too long.
It’s been weeks since the lovebird last spoke to or saw each other and frankly speaking, that period was probably the toughest time of their lives. For every day all through those weeks, Tiffany cried herself to sleep every night. She got used to crying everyday till it began to affect her physical health. It didn’t take much time before other school teachers figured that something was seriously wrong with her. In just a short time, she lost a significant amount of weight and this wasn’t looking good on her overall health at all.
On the other hand, things weren’t easy for Michael either. He was going through so much as well and had gradually became a shadow of himself. There was no single day he didn’t think about Tiffany and wanted to call her but just couldn’t whenever he remembered how much she hurt him. In just a short time, Michael friends also began to figure out that something was wrong with him. He stopped attending parties, clubs and other social activities they usually went for. It’s no doubt that he was mentally, emotionally and physically drained. Too bad!
While this separation continued, it was evident that both Tiffany and Michael were hurting but their ego was having the best of them. Tiffany realized she was wrong by treating Michael the way she did but still tried to justify her actions by all means necessary; same with Michael. This malice and grudge lingered on till one fateful day.
It happened one day that Lauren came visiting Michael again after she got information from his friends that he wasn’t ok. Deep down, she knew the seed of discord and mistrust she planted in the heart of Tiffany was the reason for whatever he was going through. Seeing that as the best time to strike, she paid him an unexpected visit because she knew he was at his lowest point.
When Lauren arrived at Michael’s house, she thanked the gateman for opening the gate and found her way in. When she walked into the living room, she saw no one so she began searching for Michael till she found him in the bedroom lying down. On seeing him lie calmly and handsomely on the bed, Lauren’s heart Lit up as she made her way to the bed too. Immediately she climbed on the bed and cuddled him, his eyes opened.
When Michael saw Lauren on top of his bed, he instantly got pissed off. “What’s all this? How many times will I tell you to call before coming over to my house. Matter of fact, this isn’t the right time to visit so I’ll appreciate it if you leave me alone. I don’t have the time or strength for all this so please leave” he bluntly said. That rejection got on Lauren’s last nerve and she wasn’t going to back down without a good fight.
“What in God’s name is wrong with you? How did you lose it to this extent? Who exactly has bewitched you because this isn’t the guy I used to know. What happened to the s-×y and fierce Milano that would stop at nothing till he has ripped my clothes off and make love to me in a way that no man has every done?. What happened to that Michael because I honestly don’t know who you are anymore and I have that low-life witch called ‘Tiffany’ to blame for all this. You think I don’t know you are dating her? A low-life school teacher that is in no way your level and class. How did you let such woman into your life? Stop pretending to love her when I clearly know you are missing me. I can see my unexpected visit to her school yielded good results as I see she had fully come to the realization that you both can’t work out as you are too good for her. She doesn’t deserve you so cut the crap and move on to what’s waiting for you over here” Lauren said.
It was at that very moment that it dawned on Michael that Lauren was the reason behind Tiffany’s strange behavior that fateful day. It all now made sense as to why she would behave the way she did, especially judging by how rude and forward Lauren can be. At that very moment, one emotion was evident in him and it was nothing other than rage.
“How dare you? So you were the one that polluted Tiffany’s mind and told her all matter of rubbish about me. If you love yourself like you claim, then I will advice you never to speak to her nor show up at my houses again. If I ever hear that you harrassed Tiffany again, God help me because I will come for you with everything I’ve got. Stay the hell away from me, I don’t want you and never will. My heart belongs to Tiffany so the earlier you get used to that, the better for you. Now please leave my house” Michael angrily said.
Without being told a second time, Tiffany knew her time was up and that she had to leave before Michael loses his mind. She sighed, got up from the bed and angrily walked away. When she was gone, Michael got up, wore his clothes and zoomed off to Tiffany’s house. On his way there, he kept praying for her to be around and fortunately, she was home as he could see her front light on. It was passed 6pm at the time he arrived and without hesitating, he ran to her door and began to knock. He didn’t say a word so as not to give up the clue that he was the one at the door. After knocking about 3 times, the door opened and there was Tiffany standing with teary eyes that one could tell she had been crying for far too long.
When Tiffany saw Michael at the door, her heart began to race. More tears fell from her eyes as she shockingly looked at him with no words in her mouth. The tears in Tiffany’s eyes triggered Michael’s emotions and brought tears to his eyes too.
Before either of them could say anything, Tiffany lost control and broke down crying out loud. Without wasting a second, Michael grabbed her wrapped his arms tightly around her. “Babe I’m so sorry” he soberly said and planted a warm k!$s on her l-ips. Tiffany instantly reciprocated the k!$s despite the fact that they were both crying. That moment was probably one of the most emotional and lowest point of their lives. It was at that moment they realized that they couldn’t do without each other and that they were SOULMATES.
After k!$sing passionately for a while, Tiffany began to unbutton Michael’s shirt almost immediately. It was evident that she wanted him and the same goes for Michael. He carried her from the floor and locked the door before heading into her bedroom. Immediately Tiffany’s back landed on the bed, she looked into Michael’s eyes and gently whispered “Make love to me”.
