I fell in love episode 9 – 10

I FELL IN LOVE

Chapter 9
Thessy was relaxing in her father’s compound, chatting with one of her siblings. Her phone rang, she checked the caller’s ID, it was her boyfriend Tony.

“ Hi sweetheart” she said smiling

“Hi, how’s your day going?”

“Fine, I’m just here enjoying my free time”

“How’s work?”

“Work is fine?”

“How’s Port Harcourt?”
“Cool”

“Thessy please I want you to come to Lagos, I kind of need you here”

“Tony what exactly do you need me for, I was in Lagos last month nau, do you miss me that much?”

“Please…….

“Ok I will come, but I can’t come this week, I just left Ibadan last week, so you can’t expect me to embark on this impromptu journey”

“Ok, let’s make it next week then”

“That’s better”

“Thanks, I’ll talk to you later in the day. I love you”

“Love you too, bye”

“Relationsh¡p can be stressful sometimes, what’s the meaning of this now, it’s not in my plan to embark on any long journey for now, but do I have a choice. It would have been much easier if I was still in school” She thought.

Some days later, She started feeling somehow about her trip to Lagos, She don’t feel like going any longer, but she already promised him. Reluctantly, she traveled down to Lagos.
She noticed he didn’t call her all through the journey, the last time they talked was when her bus took off. She tried calling but his line was switched off.

Wemmy called, she told her she still on her way. She got to Lagos around 8.00pm.

On a good day he use to come to the park to pick her up, but since she couldn’t reach him, she took a cab to his house, she got there some minutes to 9.00pm.
She was about to knock at the door, then she heard sounds, someone is in,side his apartment. She knocked and he opened up.

“Baby……

“Don’t baby me, you knew I was coming and you did not bother calling me, you were to pick me up, why did you treat me like an unwanted guest, you begged me to come remember?”

“I’m sorry, my phone……

“……Is right here with me, I seized it” she said opening the door w¡der.

“Tony what’s going on here, who is she?”

“Please come in first, then I’ll explain everything”

“And where do you think you are going” she said obstructing me.

“Anita will you please quit this melodrama, I told you already that I’m expecting my girlfriend. She came from a very far distance so please move before I move you” Tony said firmly.

“I give her just 30minutes” She hissed and went back into the sitting room.

“You are sick in the head, did you just gave my girlfriend orders in my house?”

“If you think she will sleep here, then both of you are joking, because both of us can’t stay under the same roof, is better she goes back to where she’s coming from” she said shouting on top of her voice.

“Anita get your things and leave my house and my life, I told you I’m not interested in you, I have my own girlfriend whom I love, so please leave now”

“When you are sleeping with me, you don’t know you have a girlfriend abi, I’m going no where, I’m your girlfriend and she has to leave”

Anita faced Thessy, raining abusive words on her, she threatened to kill her, if shedid not leave her man. Before she knew what what’s happening, she pounced on her and tore her clothes and pushed her out of the house, she even pushed Tony who was trying to stop her away, she pushed him so hærd that he hit his head against the wall.

Tony’s neighbor Mr Martins and his wife showed up when they heard noise coming from his apartment, the wife hurriedly pull off her scarf to cover Thessy.

They are nice couples, they really liked Thessy, because she do visit them when she’s around especially when Tony is at work, Thessy stay in their flat to keep the woman’s company. They are all outside except the crazy girl who locked them all out.

Tony’s head was already bleeding. So the couples suggest they go their flat, so she could change, Tony’s also needed a first aid, so they followed them to their flat.

Thessy was quiet although, even while all the drama was unfolding, she did not alter a word, its like she went dumb all of a sudden.

The woman gave her one of her top to wear, Tony’s wound too has been dressed by Mr Matins.

“Tony what exactly is going on, who is that girl in your apartment? Thessy is the only girlfriend I know of” Mr Martins asked

“I met her in the club and we became friends, little did I know that she wanted more. Fine, we had s€× once, she tried to lure me into sleeping with her again but I told her I can’t do it, that I’m in a committed relationsh¡p, but she refuse to leave”

“Liar ! She finally found my voice.

“Thessy that’s the truth”

“Please sir, there is just one question I need you to help me ask him. He asked me to come, I was here last month, so I did not even plan to come to Lagos, but he pleaded with me saying he needs me here. So why am I here?”

“So you ask her to come when a crazy girl is living with you? Mrs Martins added.

“The reason why I asked her to come was that I want Anita to see her and knows that I’m serious with what I said about been in a committed relationsh¡p. I thought she will leave once she sees Thessy”

“No wonder my spirit held me back from coming, but I ignored the signs. So you brought me here to help you chase your crazy girlfriend away right. I’m sorry your plans did not work out. Tony! Officially, it is over between us”

“Baby please don’t do this, you know I love you, you know have never cheated on you before now, please forgive me this time, it won’t happen again, I promise…..

“Keep those promises to yourself, you will need it in your next relationsh¡p. I never knew you are such a reprobate, sleeping with a random girl, someone you met in a club?”

“Thessy! I’ll do everything to make things right, please forgive me”

“Oh! so that I can die abi, I’m sorry I love my life, didn’t you hear her, she promise to kill me if I don’t leave her man or you think it’s just an empty threat? I doubt that and I’m not ready to die for a man, I’m Thessy and not Jesus”

“Thessy, you travelled a long journey, I think you should shower, eat and sleep, we will sought things out tomorrow” said Mrs Martins

“Thank you very much ma, but I’m leaving, I can’t stay here, I have a friend here in Lagos, I’ll pass the night at her place”

“You are going no where Thessy, its late and risky its 10:30pm”said Mrs Martins

“She’s right, you can sleep here, you can sleep here too Tony, I don’t trust that crazy girl ” Mr Martins added.

“Then I’ll leave sir, we can’t sleep under the same roof, let him go and sleep with his lunatic girlfriend” she said
“Thessy I’m sorry for putting you through all this” he said in a sad tone.He thanked the couple for their hospitality and left.

Mrs Martins prepared the guest room, she serve Thessy dinner, but she can’t eat, she already lost her appetite.

She called Wemmy and told her everything that happened, she promise to come and pick her the next day. She cried uncontrollably, she has never been humiliated like this wh0le life, Mrs Martins heard her cry, she came in and comforted her. She slept in a stranger’s house while her boyfriend was with his crazy girlfriend. She’ll live to tell the story.

Chapter 10
Wemmy left home as early as 7am to block Feranmi who has promised to drive her to Festac to pick up Thessy. She had called him last night and explained everything that happened to Thessy. They drove to Festac in his father’s car.
They got to Tony’s house and parked outside, they entered the compound and saw two police men who came to arrest a lady, you need to see the way she was shouting and cursing while the police dragged her out of the compound, threatening to come back for Tony.
Tony stood in front of his apartment quietly, watching as the police led the girl out of the compound.

“Feranmi, I guess that’s the girl in question” Wemmy said to her boyfriend.

“They should have involved the police before now”

“That’s true, at least She’ll be given a restraining order. That’s Tony over there” she said pointing at him.

Tony saw Wemmy and walked up to her.

“Good morning” he greeted the both of them.

“Good morning” Feranmi replied with a hand shake.

“Wemmy won’t you answer him, he just greeted you”

“Oh! you thought I came all the way here to greet him. Please Tony just bring out my friend, I’m here to get her.

“Wemmy! Feranmi called out

“Good morning” he greeted Tony reluctantly.

“I know you hate me right now because of what I did to your friend, you don’t know how sorry I am” Tony lamented.

“Tony my friend slept in your neighbor’s apartment, your girl tore are clothes, she did not even ate dinner last night after a long journey and I’m very sure she did not sleep at night. So do you think Thessy deserve all this?”

“Wemmy I’m…..

“Just take me to her, before I say what I’ll regret later”

Tony took them to the Martins’s apartment, they met the couples and thanked them.

Thessy came out to join them in the living room, she looked worn out, Wemmy saw my friend and bursted into tears.

“Thessy!” she stood up and hugged her, her eyes were swollen, hair roughed, it was as if she lost weight overnight.

“Wemmy, I wished I followed my heart, I would have save myself from all this mess”

“It’s OK, everything is going to be all right”

“Feranmi, thank you very much for coming” she said weakly.

“You are welcome dear”

They thanked the couples again for their hospitality and left the place.

They got to Wemmy’s house, Thessy showered. Wemmy forced her to take cereals for breakfast. Thessy complained of headache, she gave her painkiller for the headache, luckily she slept off afterwards.

Feranmi stayed for a while before leaving, he promised to check on her the day next.

She woke up in the afternoon, Wemmy prepared lunch and they ate together.

“Thessy, Tony has been calling since, I told him you are sleeping”

“Why is he calling, I told him its over between us”

“ So you want to end your relationsh¡p because of that silly girl, I know you are angry but please don’t leave your man”

“I’m sorry, but that’s my decision”

“You know your guy doesn’t play around, just forgive him this time”

“Yes our Mr perfect has finally cheated but I’m out, sorry to disappoint you”

“ I really love the two of you together, I wish you can work things out”

“ Let me run for my life o, that girl threatened to kill me if I don’t leave him, you know me I don’t want any problem for my life”

“I’m speehless, I don’t even know what to say, why would Tony stoop so low”

“Men, most of them are born polygamist, I don’t know why they can’t stick to just one woman, imagine I was here last month o”

“Even if you give them s€×, it doesn’t stop them from cheating. They claim they love you but still they can’t do without flings”

“The lady was arrested this morning” Wemmy informed her.

“Wemmy that’s Tony’s problem not mine”

Days later, Feranmi took the girls out on a picnic, thankfully Thessy is now herself, she now bonds well with Feranmi as well. She left for Port Harcourt a week later.

Things went on smoothly between Feranmi and Wemmy, they hang out a lot and this really helped them to know each other more, they know more about their families. Wemmy also discovered Feranmi graduated with a first class, she got to know this and many more about him.
