Loving My Best Friend’s Fiance Episode 4

LOVING MY BEST *FRIEND’S FIANCEE*

EPISODE 4

*Queen’s side of the story continues*

Clara just stared at us for some seconds, hissed and returned back to Val’s apartment where she supposedly came from without saying anything to any of us. I really couldn’t understand anything at that moment. I just was stunned and in disbelief. Val slowly stepped away from the p-nt, pointing angrily at me.

‘’no matter what happens between Clara and i, just know that whatever we had is over. I can’t believe I was this stupid’’ he barked and returned to his apartment. I heaved a sigh of relief as I wondered if I actually achieved anything with the little stunt I pulled or if I really behaved stupidly. I simply decided to wait and see for myself as days progressed.

But unfortunately, Val meant every word he said and really started avoiding me as if I had an infections disease. He wouldn’t even return my greetings talk more of inviting me over like he used to do. Clara on her own part left that same day she discovered my p-nt and I couldn’t get myself to call her to know the status of things between her and Val because I didn’t know what she knew at that point in time since Val wasn’t talking to me anymore, I just had no choice than to keep to myself and bloat over the unfortunate stunt I pulled.

By the following week however I realized that my period was about two weeks late which was never part of my plan and on going for a test discovered that I was with child, something I never bargained on at that period of my life. By my calculation I couldn’t even determine who was responsible for the little baby in me between Val and Chidi. I couldn’t help but get upset because I was too big to make such mistake and had always calculated and kept to my safe period whenever having unprotected s€× with any of them.

I had to tell Val first even though I knew I might not achieve much with the news but I had this strong feeling he was the one responsible due to the fact that he had more rounds with me than I ever had with Chidi. It was so unfortunate i found myself in such situation and never for once did getting rid of it ever cross my mind.

‘’and so what do you want me to do huh?’’ Val asked with lack of interest when I finally managed to get in touch with him.

‘’how am I even sure you are pregnant for real?’’ he asked further. I bit my l-ips and kept quiet. It was pointless trying to reason with him. Our little rom-nce was over and now it seemed as if I looked like an old haggard woman before him.

‘’I didn’t come to ask for anything from you. I just came to inform you’’ I managed to stammer. He scoffed.

‘’listen Queen, I’m still getting married to Clara. Nothing is ever going to stop it. I don’t know what you are trying to achieve with this new information. I thought we understood ourselves. I thought we were just having fun and nothing else? How about Chidi’’ he poured out nervously. I simply smiled and walked away from him. I was close to tears but it was pointless crying over what I helped create for myself.

That same very evening, Chidi showed up at my apartment from work and I told him about the pregnancy. He was so filled with excitement and hugged me joyfully.

‘’it’s time you meet my family so we could do the right thing as soon as possible’’ he proclaimed while I smiled and nodded in agreement. He was really a nice guy but I never felt anything strong for him. He never deserved what he was getting from me but I made up my mind that moment to leave behind my past and make him the happiest man on earth.

With swift energy I grabbed him, pushed him down on my sofa, undressed him, and then slowly s—-d him before riding him, grinding my wa-ist over his thing as I sent him to Pluto.

Three days later I met his family and a date for our introduction was fixed.

*Val’s side of the story continues*

The discovery of Queen’s p-nt in my room by Clara as she took my bed sheet for laundry was something that left me totally speechless and shocked. The shock and disbelief in her face that morning was something till this day I’m still yet to find the right words to describe. She scre-med with disbelief as she held up the p-nt while I swallowed hærd praying for it to be nothing but a dream but alas it wasn’t a dream and was as real as ever.

I wasn’t prepared enough to offer a tangible explanation, but then what kind of explanation could I even give with the location of where she found the p-nt. I needed no telling that Queen had it all planned out. I never believed she would ever plant such evidence against me. I knew of course she left the p-nt there on purpose because if she actually misplaced it she would have informed me. I cursed her under my breath as I faced Clara’s fury. It really was the first time in our relationsh¡p she ever had such reason to suspect me. I just didn’t know what to say as I stared at the evidence before me.

‘’who forgot her p-nt in your room?’’ she barked.

‘’eeem I think it’s my cousin. she came two days ago for a professional exam and spent the night in my room while I slept in the other room because there isn’t any bulb in the other room and she had to read’’ I managed to lie even though I knew the lie was far from being perfect. She scoffed.

‘’of course I never expected you to own up. You have to find an unbelievable lie’’ she breathed. I stood up and went close to her, with the intention of holding her. She furiously pushed me backwards. I staggered. I couldn’t really believe it was all happening.

‘’I can call my cousin for you to *confirm’’ I managed to mutter. She shook her head, threw the p-nt at me and headed out of the bedroom. I *just couldn’t go after her; I was so much at* loss on what to do. I couldn’t help but mutter quick prayers to my creator begging him to give me* one more chance of redemption.

Few minutes later, I noticed Clara leave my apartment and I *suspected she went over to Queen’s place which infuriated me the more. Of course *there wasn’t any way* I could expose her friend without putting myself more in a mess. I vouched to deal with the silly girl. I couldn’t help but regret everything I did with her.*

Minutes later Clara returned to my *apartment and locked herself in the other room. I just couldn’t wait anymore to attack Queen.* I *quickly rushed to her room , not minding the risk and it was just a slight restraint that stopped me from hitting her with all my strength that fateful* morning. Fortunately for her though, *Clara surprised us at the nick of time almost discovering the wh0le truth herself if not that I was quick enough to hide the* p-nt with my foot.

——————–

Clara left my apartment that same morning without giving me chance to make up with her and never did she pick my calls till I had to rush down to Enugu to see her and was so surprised to find her so cool and *relaxed. She even welcomed me into her apartment without any scene, leaving me totally uncomfortable with her action.

*

‘’see Val *you and I know the p-nt I saw in your room wasn’t your cousin’s* . yes I’m angry you *brought another woman into your place but I’m more angry because of your lies and how you tried to cover it up. Relationsh¡ps are based on* trust and I can’t marry a man I don’t trust. I can’t be with someone that lies to my face’’ she explained as we sat down to talk.

‘’so is there no chance of setting things right?, how about our wedding? The invitations have been sent out. We have paid for a wh0le lot of things already” I managed to stammer

‘’you should have remembered all that before you decided to play your game. I feel more pain about all these than you because I’m a woman and age isn’t on my side that much. Nevertheless, I have left everything to God and asked him for a sign if he wants our wedding to proceed or not’’ she summarized, leaving me totally faint hearted.

I left Enugu early the next day as a defeated man. I didn’t achieve much with the trip and I really didn’t understand what she meant by leaving everything to God and waiting for his sign. At that moment I couldn’t tell if our wedding could still hold or not.

However I didn’t get to wait much because at exactly four days to the wedding date, Clara fell mysteriously sick to the extent that she was admitted in the hospital and as the doctors battled to save her life, couldn’t really offer a tangible explanation over what was exactly wrong with her.

‘’was it GOD’S sign or another of Queen’s plan?’’ I couldn’t help but wonder.

Our wedding never held on the scheduled date and as for queen, I was totally shocked to hear about her marriage with Chidi just few weeks later with my baby in her stomach.
