Judas the traitor episode 6 – 7

Judas the traitor

EPISODE 6
… After some days I came up with a plan to steal Vincent’s contact number from Nelly’s phone so that I can try my luck. I succeeded and lied to be his childhood friend. Without wasting time, I changed my WhatsApp profile picture in order for him not to recognise me. In that manner I Nomsa the pretty baby and Vincent’s journey began.

I started chatting with Vincent Even though he wasn’t aware of my identity.

I took it step by step, I never wanted to make any error. We graduated from texting into calling each other…. I never saved his phone number in fear of getting caught by Nelly, I ensured that I mastered the number so that I just dialled it whenever I want to talk to him.

Vincent wasn’t calling Nelly nor picking her calls. Nelly had to move on because the heart break was too much on her. It affected her relationsh¡p with people and her posts on social media. But how do I care? It’s my turn to play my card well and more careful. Months later, Paul was still asking Nelly out and she decided to give him a chance in order for her to forget about Vincent. She told him about Vincent and how everything affected her. Paul promised to be her best friend and someone she can always count on. Paul was deeply in love with Nelly though Nelly had no love percentage for him.

My friend got her groove back gradually. Though Paul wasn’t buoyant yet but I swear, he takes a good care of her. But my friend still calls Vincent who doesn’t pick the phone calls. Sometimes she gets ashamed knowing that she’s dating a common driver. At some point, I asked Vincent if he had a girlfriend, he said yes but that they were not in good terms, that he wants to teach her a

lesson. Vincent and I started having long conversations though at first he was too hesitant, he thought I was just wasting his time. I knew I made him happy, Nelly noticed my phone has been busy lately. She wanted to know who my new boyfriend was. But of course how will I tell her it’s Vincent? No! I can’t. I had to fake a story of how I met a guy like that……. And she believed me but still wanted my boyfriend to come so she would get to know him too.

After some months of chatting with Vincent, He started talking about coming to see me which I objected. Instead I opted to travel to Northern province to see him, which he gladly accepted.

I lied to Nelly that I was going to see my parents

so she won’t suspect I was going elsewhere. Vincent paid for my flight ticket to his town and I travelled to see him. When I got there, he came to pick me up at the airport. After seeing me, he thought it was just a coincidence. But I approached him confidently. Are you not Nomsa?? He asked looking surprised. I smiled sheepishly and gave him a hug first. He was still confused. What are you doing here?, he asked.

I came to see you…. I replied.

‘Hahahahah, you must be joking right? He

asked. So who do you think you came to pick up here? I ain’t joking ….. I said. Vincent reached his phone in,side the pocket

and dialled my number. My phone rang in front of him. I showed him and he believed. But he was angry I played him. He helped with my small bag and we headed for the car. On our way, he didn’t say anything to me. I started apologizing to him. I told him that if he had known it was me he wouldn’t have chatted with me all this while. He would have thought I’m on a mission to settle him and Nelly and won’t ever reply to my texts calls. So you ain’t on a peace mission right? He

asked. I just smiled and tried to change the topic.

EPISODE 7
…I just smiled and tried to change the topic.

After a long drive, I broke the silence with a

tenuous giggle that provoked a twisted smile on Vincent. So how have you been? I asked him.

I have been well my dear…. He replied.

We talked about so many things and laughed

about them….

I don’t have anything at home, so we shall just branch in a fast food or supermarket and get something you could eat….. Fast food?? No no, I react to foods I didn’t

cook….. I replied.

Hmmm? He looked at me…. Yes that’s me…. I hærdly eat outside…… I

replied Fantastic! Vincent looked at me amazed whilst

driving…. It’s not a big deal … That’s how I live…. I said.

We got to the house.

It’s such a big house in a wide and spacious

compound…. Vincent loves Dogs….

There were about 4 Rottweilers in the

compound… I hate dogs! I scre-med….

Hahahahaha!, you have to like dogs …. They

are human friendly.

No no no, not these types that look like Lions. I said.

‘I’m not coming down from this car until these

dogs are chained….

Vincent laughed, came down from the car… The

way the dogs rushed to welcome him was

amazing. He played a little with the dogs and

put them back into their respective cages…..

I came down from the car… His security guy has already taken my things

in,side the sitting room……

Wow! You have a very nice place…..I said as I

looked round the sitting room in just few

seconds. I fell in love with his place….. So neat….

Vincent sitting room has a solid oac bone floor,

white walls with white curtains. He has photos of the family in a black frame

and a white chandelier type of light.. A large Sofa with a Zebra pattern, and in one corner is a huge plasma TV and in the other corner is a quadrant shaped aquarium… you are welcome to my humble place…. Vincent

said from behind me. He walked past me, and

proceeded in showing me the visitors room…

Me In the visitors room? I chuckled quietly….

Wow! Is this where I would stay? I asked Vincent who nodes his head smiling at me… It’s too beautiful, but too big for me…. I said..

I don’t stay alone… I’m too scared of staying alone…. I hope you ain’t planning on keeping me here and going to your room…. I continued. Kikikikiki, Vincent laughed….. Of course not….. Just freshen up so we could stroll down to the mini market and pick up stuffs you will cook for dinner.. OK dear….. I’ll be out soon. I closed the door and started unpacking my stuffs from my bag.
