(Eve trouble)
Unedited I’ll edit later..
“Eve please….” He made to go close to her but she signal him not to.
“If you can’t give me what I want then stay away from me!” She stood up and shashayed out of the room.
Rose was dazed but all she could do was manage a gulp of her drink before dropping it on the glass table infront of her.
“How am I supposed to make chicken and waffles?,oh God this is so frustrating!” Hale clasped his hands tightly behind his neck and pulled his head down to his knees.
“Sorry,I know it’s hærd but you have to give her what she wants. I’ll try and talk to her to go a little cool on you,I Know she’s just angry..” Rose said looking corncerned. She still had that dazzed look on her face, but felt sorry for him,the same way she feels when she sees poor things like baby birds..
“Oh thank you..” he replied airily.
“Its nothing, I’ll go see her now..” she said and walked out after getting a nod of approval from him.
He stood on his track, staring at the departing figure, undecided on what to do. Then,on the spur of the moment,he decided to cook.
He walked out of the building and got into his red Lamborghini,then drove out of the compound heading to the market to buy a chicken.
Realising he didn’t know what ingredient or condiment to use,he asked the chicken vendor for advice. She helped him get everything he needed. Hale smiled to himself at the thought of a culinary adventure but,as soon as he got into the car, the novelty of the idea had worn off. How is he going to make all what he just got?.
****
“Why would you ask your husband to cook?” Rose queried for the umpteenth time and Eve couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
“Rose please drop it, he isn’t the first man that will be cooking for his wife..” Eve whinned.
“He isn’t. My dad do cook too but this isn’t right…”Rose said sitting by Eve who sat on the bed,her eyes rooted on the bright screen of her phone.
“it’s not a big deal for a man to help his wife in culinaries..”Eve whinned still not taking her eyes from the screen.
“It’s not bad but I don’t think yours is just help. You’re trying to get back at him..”
“But that’s the plan..”
“I thought he apologized..”
“Yes but I don’t need his apologise..”
“What you’re doing isn’t fair at all,I feel so sorry for him..”
“Don’t feel sorry,he deserves it..”
“I know but can’t you get your pay back in another way,and not all this.”
“You’ve not seen anything yet,this is just the beginning. He’ll be getting all the treatments I got from him..”
“Turning a man to a maid in his
own house isn’t funny..”
“And I don’t think malhandling one’s wife is funny either.”
“Eve you need to calm down and take things easy, you’re going too hærd on him. I’m sure you’re hurting him already.”
“I was also hurt..!”
“I know you were,but..”
“But what,why do you make it seem like I’m a terrible person. He also hurt me several times..”
“You have to understand,he was mostly under the influence of that mean fiance of his..”
“Did he tell you that?”
“He didn’t have to,from everything you told me it’s clear that he was just pleasing Ashley.”
“He wasn’t,this malhandling of a thing started long before I got to his house, besides we all have rights to object to things. So you see,this is my own time to let him know how it feels to be hurt by someone who is supposed to love and protect you,why don’t you let me enjoy this?”
“Okay Eve,can I ask you something?”
“Anything you like Doctor Cupid..”
“Seriously, Doctor Cupid?”
“Yes, that’s what you are so go ahead and ask..”
“Okay do you feel anything for him?”
“Who?”
“Hale, your husband..”
“Why did you ask?”
“It’s just a question,that deserves an answer..”
“Okay I don’t feel anything for him..”
“Like not even a little something?”
“Nothing, except hatred..” Eve replied with so much venom in his voice.
“But he loves you,I see it in his eyes.”
“Like I said earlier, I’m not available..”
“I’ll see that chemistry though..”
“Look,can we talk about something else?” Eve asked, slightly irritated by the topic of discussion..
Rose glanced at her wrist watch and looked at Eve.. “well, I’ll be taking my leave..”
“Huh,so quick. I hope I didn’t upset you?”
“No,I have to go see Royce..”
Rose smiled but was she really going to see him?
“Okay when are you introducing me to that boyfriend of yours?”
“Very soon..” Rose said but didn’t budge.
“Okay I’m waiting for that year..”
“Year?” Rose asked in a laugh. ” Please Eve don’t be ridiculous..”
“I’m not being ridiculous, ladies of this days are fun of hiding their Man. They think we single ones are going to tap.” Eve said playfully
“Are you single?” Rose narrowed her eyes at Eve.
“Definitely yes .” She replied in a laugh.
“Obviously,but if you put it that way, I’ll fix a date for you to meet Royce. Maybe he’ll hook you up with one of his friends..” Rose said giving into the joke herself.
“You’re funny..”
“Same to you..”
“Don’t kill me with laugh please..”
“Ain’t you happy with the way I make you smile?”
“Of course I am,you made my day Rose..”
“That’s why I’m here with you. I don’t feel like going but he is waiting for me..” she smiled and got up.
“Please don’t go..” Eve reached out and held her hand.
“I have to Eve..”
“Please Rose..”
“I’m sorry..” Rose gave her fingers a gentle squeeze and let go of them.”I’ll come take you to see my uncle tomorrow..” she sniffed the air and Eve did too.
“Alright I’ll be waiting for you,do take care of yourself..”
“Come on Eve,that line belongs to me. Do take care of yourself for me please and don’t try to pick a fight with him okay?” Rose advised her friend who rolled her eyes.
“I won’t if he stays out of my lane..” Eve said still rolling her eyes.
“Eve…” Rose called pathetically.
“I’ve heard you..”
They both bid theirself goodbye,but Eve frowned as she watch her walk out of the room.
Eve slammed the door shut, before flinging the stuffed toys off her bed and jamming the pillow over her head. She had always known Rose to light her day but now she was gone…which meant the house would become boring for her once again.
“Oh hell!!!” She mo-ned banging her head repeatedly against the pillows.

“Now what?” Hale lamented as he fiddled with his pot.
He had never made waffles in his life,so what did he think he was doing?
Trying to be a lovely husband? Everyone knew that women were the natural cooks,not men. Besides,even if his chicken were a success what about the waffles? How will he go about it? He thought of the time when Eve had prepared his favorite food and how he’d emptied his own plate on her. And that evening how he’d almost beaten her to death,cause she……. But it was too painful to remember this things so he tried to concentrate instead on how to prepare the already chopped chicken in front of him.
How was he going to know when the chicken was properly cooked?
Ashley always hid her recipe book, so there’s no way he’ll start looking for it,which meant he’ll have to guess.
Now how was he going to start the preparation?
He was still debating on what to do when he heard a tap on the other side of the work surface.
He turned and sighed as he saw Rose staring keenly at him. “I didn’t see you there..”
“I just got in,seems like you’re having a hærd time with the stuff..” she murmured peering at the irregular chunks of the chicken.
“No everything is fine..” he lied and wondered why he did so.
Was everything fine?
“Do you need my help with anything?” Rose offered walking up to him.
“No, Everything is in order..” He feigned a smile and Rose knew it.
“Are you sure you don’t need my help?” She pressed, drumming her fingers on the work surface as she stood besides him.
“Yes,I can handle this..” he picked up a pot but dropped it as she place her hand lightly on his shoulder.
“But I can help if you want..” she persisted looking corncerned.
“Well I’ll love you to..” he said, touched by her concern. Africans,he had noticed were in the habits of helping out and saying sorry even if something was not their fault.
“But the thing is I don’t want her getting angry,you know she might get mad at me when she finds out that you did the cooking…” He resumed.
But still Rose persisted.”She won’t know,she thinks I’m gone. Except you’re planning to tell her that I’m still here..”
“I…” He started and stopped as Rose wh¡pped off a knife and picked up an onion.
“My friend is quite hungry, It’s not good to keep her in wait..”
The lady was determined and there was no stopping her.
“Thank you?” He appreciated.
“For what?” Rose asked as she sliced the onions into ringlets.
“For helping me out,I don’t know how I would’ve done all this by myself..” he said, sincerely.
“It’s nothing, Eve is my friend so I’m really glad to help..”she shrugged.
“You do put her in a good mood..”
He smiled.
“That’s good I’m here to please..” she smiled back and pushed the pot to him.” And now,you can help wash the chicken.”
The cooking didn’t take much time, with Rose around it was easier than Hale had imagined and soon they were done. She also helped in washing the used dishes and also help set the dinning,after which she left with a few waffles.
Hale went over to Eve’s room and called her down for dinner.
“Don’t tell me you made it?” Eve said dryly as she shifted the dinning chair and sat.
“Well I did…” Hale smiled placing her food in front of her.
“How did you do it,did you use a recipe book?”she asked uncovering the food. “Smells nice..” she smiled in her head.
“No I didn’t..” he said feeling proud. “What’s wrong, don’t you like it?” He added hastily as he watch her peer at the food.
“I do like it but….” Of course the food looked salivating but Eve was hell bent on frustrating him.
“It’s too soggy..” she said and he frowned.
“What?”
“I’m sorry but I can’t eat this..” she pushed back her chair and got up.
“Eve this food is perfectly fine.!”
He crooked.
“Not fine to me, it’s too soggy. I can’t eat this.”
“Fine!” He yelled frustrated already.” You think I’m going to beg you to eat this. Who do you think you are?” He barked in silence but she didn’t say a word, instead she smiled and walked away.
“Eve wait, I’m sorry..” he called out but she was already gone, heading to her room.
Hale didn’t get a chance to apologise to Eve, he waited until that night when he saw her in the living room.
Eve was sitted on a sofa in the living room, watching TV and at the same time going through her phone. Hale walked into the room but she ignored his prescense and wouldn’t have budge if he didn’t seat next to her.
Eve got up and sat in the next sofa.
They sat in silence for a long time,and through out the wh0le time Hale was eying her through the corner of his eyes while pretending to watch the show going on in the TV.
“Eve…” He breathed at last, breaking the lingering silence.
Eve didn’t give a reply but only glance at him and raise an eyebrow.
“I’m sorry…” he crooned.
“For what..?” Her brow was still raised and her forehead was furrowed.
“For what happened earlier I didn’t mean to say that to you..” he resumed.
“Okay…” She said crosly and got up with a decision to leave the place but he got up and took out a little box from his slant pocket.
“I have something for you..” he opened the box and she scoffed as she saw the diamond necklace in it.
“It’s nice but I don’t want it..” Eve said and his face contorted into a
deep frown.
“What?” Hale was breathing hærd.
“You heard me,I don’t want it. You can keep it.”
What was he thinking that he can offend her and waltz back with a gift to cajole her into being in peace with him.
“Okay, let’s just talk. Please..” He pleaded, shutting the box and returning it back into his pocket.
“You got only two minutes Hale,two minutes.” Eve stated,arms crossed.
“Oh Eve please sit down..” he brushed his hair with his hand.
“I will but my two minutes is two minutes,cause I got something important to do.” She explained and plunged into the exact sofa she got up from.
“What do you want me to do to make you know that I’m sorry,Me trying to fix everything doesn’t make you happy? What do you want me to do to let you know that I care?.” He sat by her side and she moved away, giving an acceptable gulf between them.
“Nothing, just nothing.” Eve pinch her bridge and place her phone besides her.
“Do you know you’re frustrating me already?” He questioned and she scoffed.
“And all this while I thought I have not even started.”
“Do I need to remind you that you’re my wife?.” He seethed.
“Your two minutes is up Hale.” Eve pointed out with an eyeroll.
“Please stop frustrating me with that one minute,two minutes thing.” He pleased, somewhat irritated by her stubbornness.
“That’s because you got nothing new to say,you keep saying the same thing every time, thanks Hale enjoy your day.” She crapped and made to get up but stopped at his instance.
“Don’t move..” he ordered and she sat back instinctively.
“Don’t you ever use that tone on me again,who do …..”
She trailed as he got up,and snatched her l-ips with his. He k-ssed her deeply,but she regained control of the situation and pulled away from him, with a slap across his face.
“Get off me Hale,go screw yourself.!” She thundered. “Don’t you dare do that again, don’t you dare in your entire life..” she picked her phone and got up with the discussion to retire to her room but he got up quickly and stood in her way.
“Eve I don’t want to be mean with you but do not try to reject me or make a fool of me,you know what I can do..” he said and she stared hærd at him.
“Yes” She nodded. ” Take a look at me,I am so scared. Baby please don’t try to hurt me” She hissed and made to walk away but he caught her arm by her elbow and roughly pulled her back. Her phone fell.
“How dare you?” She shouted at him.
“Don’t mess with me.” He warned.
She gave him a hateful look and picked her phone. “If you are truly a man,born of a woman touch me again and you will be sorry for the rest of your life..” she said and stormed away.
Hale was shocked at the lady’s audacity. His wh0le body pumped up with negative adrenaline as he watched her walk away briskly up the stairs.
He was annoyed and deflated,so he made to go after her but instead turned away and carried himself to the wine bar. He would not give up, he’ll get her no matter what.
TBC …
