Rabbit love episode 12
Rabbit love episode 12
I was still scre-ming on top of my voice while Kelvin had a devilish smile on his face.
”Try using a megaphone, am sure people will hear you when you do that”
”Kelvin, please let me go, please” i pleaded with tears in my eyes.
”why should i, am only taking what belongs to me, i made you who you are today, i spend money on you, i got you a car and even an expensive engagement ring and the least you could do was just stay faithful to warming my bed everynight but no, you think you’ve grown enough wings” he said while relaxing his heavy weight untop of me.
”Kelvin, please, am begging you don’t do this, i will hate you after this, coupled with the emotional trauma.”
”emotional trauma” he said and laughed ”it’s not like you are a V-rgin, why would a who*e like you be traumatised for doing what she does best and as for hating me, i don’t give a d–n”
he said and with that he tore the last piece of clothing away from my body and i scre-med with the last strenght i had and suddenly the door popped open and Sam came in, i could see the shock on his face.
”Kel, what is this” he said while coming closing and dragged his brother away from my body.
”what are you doing here” Kelvin scre-med at his brother and raised his hands to hit him.
Sam was more muscular even though he was younger, so he caught his hand and pushed him down.
”Kel, what’s wrong with you, have you suddenly lost it”
”yes, I lost it when you and your friends killed Jemimah” he said aloud with pure pain in his voice.
”if you think so, but why transfer your anger to Becky?”
”i never transferred any anger to her, i only demanded for the only thing she has to offer, i gave her a good job, popularity and every other thing she wanted, the only thing i wanted was her body” he said aloud and i bent my head and started to cry again, i only looked up when a towel fell on my unclad body and Sam looked at me giving me signal to cover up.
”Kelvin, dad will hear this first thing tomorrow money”
”who cares, after you have always been his favourite son” he scre-med at Sam and started walking to the bathroom.
”and she is also leaving this house tonight” Sam threw at his back.
”i don’t give a d–n also, am already done with her, I’ve gotten what i wanted”
He walked into the bathroom and slammed the door and i burst into hot tears, Sam came to me and started patting my back and by the time i quietened down. He asked me to dress up and come and spend the night in his house before his brother does something worse to me.
I obeyed and in few minutes i was already at the door step with my bag in my hand and Sam by my side.
I looked at the house where my life turned around for good and then back to worse and i started shedding tears again.
”it’s will be fine, let’s just go don’t worry about anything” Sam said and patted my back before stretching his hand to collect the bag from my hand, i gave him and followed him quietly to the car.
The ride to his apartment was short and quiet.
I only found my voice when i got into the apartment.
”i will keep the bag in the room while you go and take a cold shower” Sam said with a heart felt smile on his face.
”thanks”
i followed the direction of his hand to the bathroom, took a cold shower and washed off all Kelvin’s scent from my body and then came out feeling better.
I realized i hadn’t eaten a single spoon of food since morning when i perceived the sweet aroma that filled the wh0le house
I followed the aroma and it led me to the kitchen, where i froze when i saw it was Sam cooking and not a maid or a cook.
He looked really nice in the apron and the loosed T-shirt he was wearing.
I shrugged the thought away, now wasn’t the time to be fantasizing about the person who saved me from being raped.
”Sam, thanks for today” i said when i got closer.
”Thank me after dinner, but for now go and make your self comfortable at the sitting room while i serve you dinner” he said with a look clearly stating he was deeply sympathizing with me.
I looked over his shoulder and saw it was spagetti that he was cooking.
”is spagetti the only food you cook” i said and smiled trying to look less vulnerable.
”it’s a fast food or would you have prefered Noodles” he said with concern.
”Noodles is so last year since i realized it was dentrimental to my health”
”am hearing this from a girl for the first time” he said with a mockery smile that showed all his teeths.
We talked about alot of things while the food was cooking and when it was cooked he dished for me and i ate to my satisfaction.
”Becky, how did you get into this mess” he asked after i finished eating.
”i loved him and he loved me, i don’t know what happened” i explained with arms folded.
”well, it’s clear that the true love was one sided, you loved him and he took advantage of your feelings and exploited you and used you to his own advantage despite all the goodies he offered, that kind of love in my book is called a RABBIT LOVE”
I yawned and opened my eyes to a very beautiful room.
It was nicely decorated with royal blue giving it a peaceful look.
For the very first time in months, i woke up with Joy that i couldn’t put a finger to why i was feeling that way.
I checked my phone and it was already 9AM.
I smiled, people usually loss track of time when they have an angelic sleep like i did.
I quickly had my bath and changed into a nice bum short and a strapless singlet.
I got to the kitchen and met Sam cooking but with his ear piece in his ears so he didn’t hear me enter.
He only turned when i touched his shoulder but the look he gave me sent hot shivers down my spine.
”ehm, good morning” i said trying to stable my breathing rate.
”good morning, hope i didn’t wake you with all this noise” he said pointing to the pan he was washing.
”No you didn’t, the aroma of your food actually woke me” i jokingly said.
”I take that as a compliment, i know am a good cook” he said and winked at me and the wink reminded me of Kelvin, speaking of Kelvin i wondered what he might be doing now, he’s probably gotten another girl to be warming his bed, my stomach twisted at the thought of that.
”Have you heard from your brother” i asked sam who was busy turning the bread he was toasting.
”yeah, i tried but he refused to take my calls”
”i didn’t get the chance to properly thank you for your yesterday’s intervention”
”you thanked me enough already”
”what were you doing there anyway” i asked.
”i came to get my remaining things, it seems God just directed me there at the right time, i never intended coming there by that time”
God! That is one word that i have never heard from Kelvin’s mouth.
”am still grateful to you and to God” i said to him.
”when you are done thanking for doing nothing please help me carry that to the dinning table” he said putting to the breath taking omelet that was on the plate.
Sam had a nice touch with food unlike Kelvin.
I shook my head and did as he said, it wasn’t the right time to start making comparison.
Besides i never liked church-guys, they always justify what ever they do with Bible verses that suites them.
”Sam, can i ask you a question, it’s been bothering me since yesterday night” i asked after eating the breakfast that Sam prepared.
”go ahead, am listening”
”Who is Jemimah and how did she die” i asked and i could see that he was stunned by my question.
”Why do you want to know about her” he asked keeping his face neutral which was a character Kelvin also possessed.
They both keep a neutral expression when you ask them a personal question.
”am just eager, your brother said something about you and your friends killing her”
”well, we didn’t kill her”
”who was she” i asked again.
”She was Kelvin’s girlfriend, lover and anything you can call it, i will tell you cos i like you and i trust you to keep your mouth shut about this”
I nodded and waved at him to continue.
”They we so close, we all knew that they would get married when they get older, but death snatched her away from Kelvin, she was just Twenty one at that time, four years younger that Kelvin, she came to my 21st Birthday party and after staying for a while she told me she was going upstairs to Kelvin’s room and the next thing we saw was that she fell Kelvin’s Balcony down to the floor and she died Instantly, I ran up to Kelvin’s room to check what made her fall and i realized it was my own girlfriend or so i thought, it turned out that she had eyes for Kelvin and she was in his room when Jemimah got in and they got into a fight and in the course of the fight they came out to the balcony and she mistakenly pushed her down” he finished with tears in his eyes.
”So why is he blaming you”
”well, the pepetrator of the act was my girlfriend and he thought i had a hand in it, cos i initially didn’t like her, i only started liking her few weeks to her death” he explained without looking up.
”It’s been Five years, why can’t he still get over the death” i asked with curiosity.
”Well, it turned out she was pregnant with his child when she died and he was planning to propose to her that night at my party”
”what! now i know, he must have been heartbroken”
”heartbroken was an understatement, i lost count of the times when he tried to committ suicide, he only stopped attempting suicide when our very religious mother convinced him that he would go to hell if he takes his own life, so since then, he has been bahaving heartlessly, taking drugs, sleeping with tons of woman and refusing to stay in the rehab”
i was shocked with the last part.
”So he was in Rehab”
”yes, his last session in rehab ended when he said he was coming over to his friend’s wedding and he never returned to the U.S again, my dad decided to let him be thinking he has change..”
He didn’t even complete his last statement when we heard a knock on the door and when he went to answer it, i saw the last person i expected to see…Kelvin.
Ke…Ke…Kelvin what are you doing here?” i stammered trying to recover from the shock of seeing him.
”am here to speak to you” he told me calmly.
I was surprised, i expected to see him acting the way he was the previous night.
”I don’t want to speak to you” i said angrily and turned away.
”Am really sorry about yesterday night, i don’t know what came over me” he said to me gently.
”apology accepted, you can now leave” i said to him calmly too.
All through the conversation, Kelvin was still at the door step, while Sam’s hand was on the door knob looking at both of us with interest.
”Baby please hear me out first” he said with a voice that sounded like he was close to tears.
”I don’t want to” i said and turned my back to him.
”I guess this is the part where i will have to slowly give you two the much needed privacy”
”thanks” Kelvin said and came into the sitting room fully.
”alright, big brother” Sam said and walked towards the dinning table where i was and began clearing the plates we used plates.
I offered to help but he refused.
”Don’t hesitate to call me if you need me” he whispered to me before leaving for the kitchen
He left and I went over to the sitting room and sat down, Kelvin who has been standing since looking like a drenched puppy came and sat beside me.
”Kelvin, say what you want and leave me”
”I like my women naive and feisty” he said to me smiling.
I turned to him wondering if he was still talking to me.
”what did you say” i asked, confused.
”you heard me right, well let’s get straight to the point” he said and smiled at me showing all his front teeths.
”Finally” i scre-med and shifted away from him slightly.
”well, well, i need you back in the house and you know i always get what i want” he said with a mischievious look.
”thanks for being so polite” i replied sarcastically.
”I don’t like being polite, but if you want me to be polite, then i will politely release all the s-xtapes i have in my custody to the press.
”S-xtapes!”
”I love the very dummy and naive you, they are much, my friend and trust me my face is not in anyone, i can already see the headlines in my head, ”Watch s€× tape of Nigeria Model Becky and her numerous sugar daddies”
”Kelvin how can you be so heartless” i said with tears in my eyes.
”no, no, Baby i only get heartless when people go against my words, Just be by my side at all times and perform few duties for me, simple, but no you chose to go against my wish”
”am sorry Kelvin, please let’s go back to the way we were”
”there was never a ‘we’ so don’t be decieved, all said and done, i’ve got important things to do, and i give you three days to make up your mind, there are only two options either you peacefully return to the house or i release the tapes to the press and all these hungry blogger”
After saying that, he left to the door and i followed him quietly, i only talked when he got outside the apartment.
”Why are you punishing me over Jemimah’s death” i asked and he turned to me with his eyes showing only anger and i immediately regretted what i said.
I started to shed tears when i felt a sharp pain on my cheeks and i realized that Kelvin had just slapped me.
”Never you talk about Jemimah in that disrespectful manner again” he said and angrily walked away leaving me there in tears.
I held my cheek and ran back into the sitting room and started crying loudly.
I wiped my tears when i heard Sam’s approaching footsteps.
”I just saw my brother drive away angrily, he almost brought down the gate, what happened between you two” he asked without looking at me.
”nothing, just normal conversations between two engaged persons”
”Becky, what’s with the tears, why are you crying” he asked coming closer to me.
”nothing, am just happy your brother and i reconciled” i lied and fake a smile.
”well, if you say so, honestly i don’t know if i should happy or not” he said sitting opposite me and removing the ear piece that was in his ears.
I guess he had them in his ears since, if not he would have heard when his brother landed that thunderous slap on my cheeks.
I touched the place and tears began threatening to drop from my eyes again.
****
Two days later.
I was already in the taxi that was taking me back to my doom, back to Kelvin’s house.
I was praying silently for God to intervene in my situation.
My phone rang and i picked it with shaky hands when i saw who the caller was.
”Becky, get back here” he scre-med.
”Sam, what are you talking about” i asked feigning ignorance
”I saw the note you kept for me in the sitting room, just get back here, we will look for a way out of this” he said calmly.
Earlier on i had left a written note stating the real reason why i was going back to Kelvin’s house.
”No, thanks, am going back to face him and i pray…I pray… i die soon” i said crying.
”Becky, please come back here right now” Sam said to me over the phone.
”No” i scre-med and ended the call.
