Davidson ask. has your frustration gone into your head that you can’t even think, how will I be harboring your wife in my house. while talking to Davidson at the entrance of the door Gloria was busy given me signs with her finger which was place on the door, on what to do, because at that State I was confused on what to do but thank God Davidson did not notice it. I said I want to see my wife after saying that, he pushed himself in, to satisfy his suspicion. but to his greatest surprise I was not there. before he could come in I have already hide myself in Gloria’s wardrobe. Gloria in anger said “did you see your wife now?, when I told you your wife is not here you won’t listen, now get out of my house ”. Davidson couldn’t even say a word. I felt sorry for him because I could only see disappointment written all over his face. I know that you are somewhere here I won’t rest until I find you because I love you those were the words that came out of his mouth. Gloria did not give him time to talk more she bulldozed him out of her house. she then close the door. as usual started talking which is one of her harbit “nonsense man come and play your love in my house, rubbish as if you play it with your wife the time she was in your house”. when I was fully sure he has left I came out of my hiding. don’t worry he has gone said Gloria. okay I said while dusting my body. how did you even fit into that wardrobe Bab you are too talented she said while laughing. girl don’t make jest of me na, I don’t even want to watch film again I said directing my steps towards the bed.
