Val's Diary Series (Life As An Adult) - Season 1 - Episode 33

“so what now?” i asked. She breathed deeply, smiled and stared at me strongly.
“let’s go grab a bite outside. I’m very hungry” she said softly. I nodded, grabbed my jacket and together we headed out to continue our talk in a restaurant down the street.

Yea my behaviour has also been below the required expectation and my actions sometimes were very annoying and unbelievable. Nevertheless no one is perfect and i was far from being perfect even though the environment and condition i found myself greatly influenced most of my decisions.
I admit, getting involved with Tessy in the first instance was a very stupid deed, but then i was young and naive and very keen on tasting every aspects of life, unfortunately she turned out to be a big meat i couldn’t swallow and opting out soon became mission impossible part 5.

Tessy was also very good looking, young, rich and fun to be with, but my relationship with her was something that society, culture and my family status frowned upon. She just wasn’t the type i could freely introduce to friends without feeling awkward and with the way things were going i really was so scared of my future. I just didn’t know what else to do to free myself from her. The more i tried the more stuck i got.

She promised to allow me get married to any lady of my choice but i really was very skeptical of such promise. She was a woman after all and we know how emotions get in the way of promises made in the past.
Perhaps only death could free me from the look of things but she still had a lifetime to live and I also was incapable of killing, besides i was yet to know the condition of her husband’s health. The man i almost killed unknowingly…

“what are you thinking. You haven’t said a word since we got here?” Tessy curiously asked as i silently ate my rice and chips. I forced out a smile and returned her gaze.
“i’m thinking about my future” i replied honestly.

“so what’s up?, are you considering taking up my proposal?. Remember we talked about setting up a big business together” she asked curiously.

“no, i want to venture into Showbiz” i calmly revealed. She gasped with disbelief.
“c’mon don’t tell me you can act or sing?. The industry is already saturated my dear. What on earth are you thinking?” she argued.

“contrary to what you think. I plan setting up my own movie production company. Something similar to Wale Adenuga Production. I write my own stories, groom my own fresh young actors, do my own marketing and grow my own brand” i revealed.

“you got to be kidding me!” she gasped.
“and i need your help. I need to learn from the best producers and directors around. Your money can go a long way in helping me” i opened up.
“c’mon Val. This sort of business is a no go area. Without working with popular actors who i know will demand millions just to act for you, your movie won’t sell. It’s not as if you are even popular or have up to fifty friends. C’mon” she busted while i looked down saying nothing.

She instantly calmed down, reached forward and placed her hand on mine.
“i wasn’t trying to discourage you. I was only saying my mind. I will support you with money and everything. We will build this together” she suddenly promised while i smiled inwardly.

“Since getting rid of her is almost impossible, perhaps using her money to build my brand will be a better achievement. I can use her to get to the top” i reasoned with a deep breath.

Fifteen minutes later, we returned to my apartment to end the night with hot super sex. The way she always wanted…..
What do you think of me??
