In love with the housegirl

Episode 9-10

I couldn’t just stand and watch Mrs. Ola punish Anne for my sake. I had to do something…

“Please, let her go. I invited her. It’s my fault” I said, stepping outside.
“You what”? Mrs. Ola asked looking disgruntled and annoyed.
“Oh, I see. I see. Anne, go in,side and wait for me” Mrs. Ola commanded and walked towards me. Anne gestured her hand at me, assuring me that everything will be fine.
“After disobeying me, you still went ahead and made that girl disobey me too? I promised to make your stay here a living hell if you corportated. But it seems you are the stubborn type” she said, looking at me right in my eyes
“But ma….”

“Shut up” Mrs. Ola said, landing me a dirty slap on the right side of my jaw. For a second, my vision darkened and I saw stars. I also heard a sharp noise in my ear. I couldn’t believe mrs. Ola could take things that far. I Ioked away from her from that moment. I just stared at the floor…
“You know whats up. When you are ready to give me what I want, you know where to find me” she said as she tuckled her long gown into her hands and marched away. The only person I felt pity for was myself for being born in the first place. “So this woman has the guts to lay her hands on me” I thought to myself in disbelief.
I cannot let this one go. I will get back at her. I didn’t know where to start but I was prepared for revenge.

I went about my chores that day, thinking about my dad…I thought about my mom too. She would have cried her eyes out. Telling her what I was going through in Mr. Johns house would give her early heart attack.
Later that day, Mr. John drove into the compound with a new lady.
“Jade, this is Shola, my wife’s sister. Mr. John grunted, presenting me to Shola…
“Nice to meet you ma. You are welcome” I said, offering a handshake.
“Thank you” she said as she shook my hand, giving me some weird looks. I carried her bag inti the room Mr. John showed me. Shola seemed to be having a good catch-up with her sister. They gisted and almost shouted the roof down. I went outside and started triming the grass h¡ps when Mrs. Ola called me into the living room.

“Here is 1000naira. I want you to rush down the road and buy pads” she ordered, pointing the money towards me. I couldn’t believe she had the mind to humiliate me like this in front of the new lady.
“Hmm, Ola, don’t order mr. Handsome like that. Is he a gate man or an errand boy? Why don’t you just employ someone to run errands?” Shola asked looking suprised at her sister. I was shocked and suprised at Shola’s defense toward me….

“He’s a house help and a gateman too. Quit it…”
“Shisshh, cut that”…Shola interrupted.
“Go and buy it your self. Mom didn’t raise us to be this disrespectful. How can you send a man to get pads for you?” She added, looking disgusted at her sister. Then she turned to me with a beautiful smile…
“Jade, just go back to whatever you were doing, oh, Nnam” she said and whisked her eyebrows toward me, while chewing gum in an unethical way
I walked out, thanking my ancestors for saving me from that embarrassment, but I wondered why she defended me.

Episode 10

Mrs. Ola walked past me while I was cutting grass out of the compound to get the pads. she pointed her 5 fingers at me as if to say “my mama”. I still felt bitterness for Mrs. Ola for what she was making me go through. I hadn’t come up with a plan on how to get back at her without anyone suspecting me but I was definitely going to do something. She had drawn a battle line unknown to her.

The new lady came outside and sat on a stool to watch me work. She put on a mini gown and crossed her legs, exposing her brown beautiful melanin ties. I hate to admit it but the woman wasn’t looking bad. She was a short, chubby woman who had dimples that revealed themselves especially when she smiled
“You are the hærdworking type.” She said as she observed me
“N-no…sorry, yes. I am a man. Besides, i grew up in the village where farming was the main economic activity. And being the only son of my parents didn’t make things any easier” i replied as I squeezed out a smile.

“Relax okay, am friendly. Feel free” she said, waving her hair to the back of her head. So which village are you from? She kept interrogating
“Am from Ommuna” I replied, trying to bore her away from the conversation. I didn’t want to answer more questions because I suspected where the interrogations were heading
“I better get going. Am done for the day, ma” I added and went into my room. I took my bath, freshened up and sat on my bed. I wondered how Anne was fairing. I had not heard from her since morning. I need to tell this girl how I feel about her! I can’t conceal my feelings forever” I thought to myself. I heard a knock on my door few minutes later. My gosh it was Anne.
“What are you doing here? And what did Mrs. Ola do to you after discovering you were giving me food? I asked, all excited.

“I came to check on you. And about that, she yelled at me and that was it” Anne said and brought out a wrap of paper from her cooks-wear which had a large pocket in front of it. In it was fried stuff, akara, suya and noodles. Tbh, I was starving.
“Oh, Anne, what would I do without you” I asked, collecting the items.
“Mmm, I think, nothing. Hahaha. J-boy quit asking that!” She said in a casual manner.
“Anne, there’s coolval Stories something I want to tell you. I’ve been holding it in for a while now. I think it’s best I air out my mind. I love you! This is something I’ve never told anyone before” I said, staring into her eyes…
“I…i better start going. I’ll see you later. She said as she escaped from my grip and ran out of my room.

I was in disbelief. Thought she loved me too!
“Gosh, am so stupid! Why am I rushing things!… I said as i fell on my bed, disappointed in myself.
I stepped outside to get some water and i met Mrs. Ola’s sister. She was the last person I expect to meet
“Can we chat for a bit”? In your room? She asked.
“No. Just say it here” I replied.
“You’re quite handsome for a gateman. Do you have a girlfriend?” She asked me. I was surprised at the guts she had. I mean, she just came not too long ago.
“Well, I don’t. why?” I asked.
“Because I want you to be mine”. I kept quiet for a bit, wondering what she meant..
“Please don’t say no. I will change your life for good. I will give you whatever you want. shola added as she drew closer to me and planted a k-ss on my l-ips. Her l-ips were soft and natural. She was a good k-sser. I wanted her to stop but she was kind of irresistible.

Then I heard a bowl fall down. I turned and there was Anne. I had no idea how long she had been standing there but all I could see in her eyes was heartbreak and disappointment. Oh, my goodness, what did I just do? I thought to myself, looking at her….
