My fiance episode 6

My fiance
 
Episode 6
 
I didn’t know what to do,I was nervous and I was sure Clara could see my nervousness. The door opened and she came in,I could see the look on Clara’s face;she needed an explanation.
Me:Rita this is Sarah my secretary and Sarah this is Clara,my fiance.
They exchanged pleasantries but I didn’t pay attention to that,my mind was still on Rita;she may come anytime.
“Sir,I was just passing by so I decided to drop this file so maybe if you are less busy,you can check it out” Sarah said bringing me back to reality.
I collected the file from her and after that she left.
Although I was happy to see Clara, I was troubled by the fact that Rita may come anytime from now.I stylishly took my phone and told Clara I was going to the toilet. When I got to the toilet,I tried her number but she didn’t pick up;maybe she was driving.God help me today.

5 hours later
 
Clara was finally ready to go home,thank God Rita didn’t show up during the wh0le period.Although I had wanted Rita to come at first but after Clara showed up,I have been praying to God not to let Rita come and I guess my prayer was answered.
At work the next day,I saw Rita,although I was not angry;I decided to play a little;I decided to let her come and apologize to me for not coming before talking to her.
I was working on the files I had on my table when Rita came in.
“Hey baby what’s up ?”She said as she cupped my chin in her hands but I just removed her hand from my chin and didn’t say anything;I guess that was enough to tell her I was angry with her for not coming.She got the message faster than I had thought.
Rita:Baby am really sorry for not making it to your place yesterday,I had somewhere urgent to go yesterday
I was loving this,I looked at her face but did not say anything.
Rita:Common baby I said am sorry
Me:Why didn’t you tell me about that before?
Rita:I didn’t know about it before,my dad just called me on my way to your place and told me I had somewhere I had to attend for him
Me:And why could you not call me or send a text message?
Rita:Am sorry I forgot
Me:What about my calls?Didn’t you see that one too?
Rita:I later saw it
Me:And you didn’t even try to call or flash me back?
Rita:Baby I said am sorry
Me:Okay no problem
“Thank you baby”She said and k-ssed me.
Rita:So since I was unable to come yesterday, what about I spend the wh0le weekend at your place?
Me:Ehn?
Rita:What?Is it not a good idea?
Me:No,it……..it…….it is a good one but am totally occupied for the weekend so maybe some other time.
Rita:Okay but what about you spend the night in my place?
I looked into her eyes,I knew what she meant;I sure could not reject that.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The love I had for Clara started diminishing, I started loving Rita better but I was already engaged to Clara so breaking up would be difficult.Clara was the perfect wife material;I could not dispute that fact but Rita was more rom-ntic;she was totally crazy in bed.I was still thinking of all these when Frank my best friend came in.
Frank:My man how far now
Me:I dey jare
We started talking about different stuffs ranging from ball to wrestling to films to music until we finally stopped the most interesting topic ‘girls’.
Frank:So if I understand clearly,you are dating your partner
Me:Yeah
Frank:(Raising his voice)Vince are you out of it?You are engaged for crying out loud
Me:Engaged not married
Frank:But about to get married,right?
Me:Am still thinking of what to do
Frank:About what?
Me:About the two damsels
Frank:What is there to think about?You are engaged to Clara and you are simply playing with……….what is her name again?
Me:Rita
Frank:Yeah Rita.
Me:I was thinking maybe there could a change of roles
Frank:What do you mean?
Me:I was thinking maybe I should start planning marriage with Rita and then keep on playing with Clara
Frank:Are you crazy?
Me:I was just joking
Frank:I don’t really trust you but I hope you don’t regret it
Me:I am not leaving Clara alone
Frank:You had better not because if you do, you will be losing something precious.
Me:I dare not break up with her.
Frank:Better.By the way,I have got a date and I better not be late for that so I think I have to take my leave.
Me: OK no problem.
 
Weekend came too fast;maybe to me, I don’t know.I sat in my room doing nothing in particular; I was bored.I stood up and headed downstairs.On getting downstairs,a way of getting rid of boredom came to my mind;I should go to Rita’s house or ask her to come here. I picked my phone about to call her when another call came in and it was from Clara.
Me:Hello baby
Clara:Hello Vince we have to talk.
* * * * * * * * * * *
I got to the restaurant Clara had asked us to meet in,as I was about stepping in,I saw her just coming down from her car;she was late. We walked into the restaurant together, got a seat then ordered for drinks. What was happening? This isn’t the Clara I know,she wasn’t smiling,instead she looked like a criminal who had come to transact an illegal business;they don’t smile during that period or maybe it is how films portray them.
Me:Hey Clara what’s up? Is everything okay?
Clara:Sure.We just gave some certain things to talk about.
From the way she was talking,something was wrong;did she………no way,I was always careful.
Clara:Vince I want to talk about our relationsh¡p.
“What about it?” I said,I knew I sounded saucy but I hope she didn’t pick that up.
Clara:It is about how you’ve been behaving lately
Me:What do you mean?
Clara:Vince you are a changed person now,I don’t understand you anymore,this was not how you used to be,what is going on?
Me:Clara to be sincere,I don’t understand any bit of what you are saying.You said I changed but………
Clara:But what?Vince something is wrong or you are hiding something from me.
Me:What is making you say all this?.
Clara:The fondness; it is missing,you can’t do without calling up to three times in a day before but now,you don’t call me anymore,except I call you .What exactly did I do?
Me:Clara it is not the way you see it,this week was totally stressful, so ……………
Clara:Really?
Me:Am serious
Clara:Okay.Fine
Me:So are we good?
Clara:Almost.Vince you have to spend the weekend at my place
OMG!!! I was planning on spending the weekend with Rita but now there was no way I could not come up with an excuse;although I could,I dare not try it.
Me: No problem
Clara:Then I guess we are good
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
We got to Clara’s house, she quickly rushed to the kitchen to prepare something while I sat down to watch a programme on TV.After eating, we started talking about everything in general.Then a call came in;Rita
Clara: Your partner is calling you.
I wanted to leave the call without picking it but Clara was waiting; I think she doesn’t really trust me anymore. Finally I picked the call.
Me:Hello
Rita:Hello baby am feeling h***y, can you come over?
I looked at Clara’s face,her face said it all. IT’S DOOMSDAY.
 
Clara had refused to listen to any explanation I had to give;although I knew I didn’t have a reasonable explanation to give,she called the two sides____our parents to a meeting.
I had wanted to leave after the failed attempts to appease her but she had instructed her security guards not to allow me out; I knew she wanted our parents to meet me here.
30 minutes later the two couples arrived and we got talking.
Clara:Our mum and dad we have something to tell you.
I could see the anxiousness on their faces;maybe they thought we wanted to tell them that we are ready to get married.
Clara:Vincent and I are breaking up.
The two couples sat on the chair looking like statues; am sure they were still trying to process what we meant.
Mr Michaels (Clara’s dad):You guys are joking right?
Clara:No we are not
All eyes turned to me___they wanted me to talk.
Mr Tommy(My dad):Vincent what is happening?
My mouth felt like it was sealed up but I managed to talk.
Me:She………… she………….she said she want to cancel our engagement.
Mrs Michaels: Clara is that true?
Clara:Yes but you know I won’t do something like that without a reason.
Mrs Tommy:So can you tell us what the reason is?
Clara:Vince is…………is………….just ask him to say it by himself.
Mr Tommy:Vincent can you let us know why you two are taking this decision?
I looked at my dad,I wanted to talk but how was I going to say it?
Clara:I know he wouldn’t want to say what he did because it is totally……………I don’t even know what to say.
Our parents were already impatient now and I could see it on their faces.
Mr Tommy:Why don’t you guys go straight to the point and stop beating around the bush?
Clara:Vincent is cheating on me.
Mrs Michaels: What?
Mrs Tommy:That’s not possible.
Mr Michaels: Clara what proof do you have to support what you are saying?
Clara:Are you all doubting me?I was there when his new girlfriend called him and told him to come over that she was……………..Just forget am done.
Clara stood up and ran to her room locking the door behind her.
* * * * * * * * * * *
24 hours later
 
Clara’s parents had taken it more easily than I originally thought they would because I played with their only daughter’s heart.The deal which was the main reason why we got engaged in the first place was not canceled;I guess they were already used to each other.
*1 week later*
I was in Rita’s house sleeping on the bed on which I had bleeped her few minutes ago.
Rita:Baby I want to rush down to somewhere to collect something from my friend.
Me:No problem,I will be waiting.
She k-ssed me and left. I was left all alone at home,I didn’t feel like watching TV so I decided to rummage through the stuffs in the room.I opened her drawer which was full mainly of girls stuffs,I got tired of it and as I was about to close the drawer, my eyes caught a glimpse of something. I wanted to leave it but my mind told me to check it.I stretched my hand forward and picked it up;it was a photo album.
Why was this one here?Rita had shown me all the album in her house except this one.I opened the first page and on it was the picture of Rita and a guy in what seems like an engagement party.
Could it be that……………….no way,that is not possible.I continued opening it and it was full of Rita and the guy’s picture.Maybe she had a younger brother she didn’t tell about or maybe he was her cousin or a relative of hers.
I was about to close it when I saw some pictures that really got me; it was Rita and the guy k-ssing and some they were in awkward positions for relatives.The last one was stunning;Rita and the guy nude pics banging each other.
