Val's Diary Series (Life As An Adult) - Season 1 - Episode 48

☆☆☆

“Val’s what’s wrong with you?, can’t you see that i’m heading for a job interview?, or do i look like someone going to a party?” Adaora asked seriously, pushing me back with her words. The plump guy scoffed, weighed me, turned and headed to the driver’s side of his car while Adaora gave me one last look as i let go of her.
“anything you plan saying to me should wait until i get back. I don’t have the time to listen to you right now” she said with a softer tone, breathed deeply and joined her friend in the car while i swallowed hard as i watched them leave the house…

After standing alone for some minutes, i soon got tired and went into the sitting room to wait for Adaora’s return. I earnestly prayed for her to return on time but unfortunately things never went as i hoped. I stayed till 3:30pm all alone with my thoughts until her mum showed up at the house with a friend. She really was surprised to see me and after i told her how long i have been at the house, she kind of had pity on me.
“don’t worry Val, just go home, i promise by tomorrow or next, i will invite you over for a serious discussion with Adaora” she promised, leaving me with no choice than to accept her words.
I picked up myself and headed back to Tessy’s house with a more relaxed mind.
However on my way to her house, another strange idea hit my mind. I suddenly felt it was strange staying in Tessy’s house while trying to fix things with Adaora.
“what if Adaora or her mum decides to run a tab on me?. Hmmm, God forbid bad thing” i reasoned, shaking my head with fear. I decided straight away to move out of Tessy’s house that very evening or the next day, to be on the safe side.

35 minutes later, Tessy’s Bungalow. ABUJA
As i made my way into the compound, i ran into Elinor at the gate. It really was a situation i had always tried to avoid but luck wasn’t on my side that very day.

She smiled on sighting me while i recoiled cautiously.

“hmmm the lover boy is back” she smiled. I nervously greeted her.
“Your friend Tessy isn’t feeling too well. She almost fainted in her office today. She’s feeling kind of dizzy and weak, and has also refused seeing a doctor. She’s lying on her bed. Hopefully she will pull through, but I hope you haven’t gotten my friend pregnant huh?” she asked with a mischievous smile, forcing me to smile back even though i was deadly scared.

“Tessy is a big girl. I doubt if such thing can happen to her” i answered weakly.
“of course she’s” Elinor smiled coldly, shook her head and walked away.
I rushed into the house and ran straight to Tessy’s room where i saw her sleeping peacefully. I stared at her body searchingly, not knowing what to make of Elinor’s words, going through my head at the same time, checking back on the numerous times i had sex with her.
Of course the last thing i wanted was Tessy getting pregnant for me. I thought of her husband who she managed to keep away from me after the unfortunate incident in Owerri a couple of weeks ago. I thought of my family. I thought of Adaora. My plans, My life, My future, everything could all change if Elinor’s suspicion turns out to be true.
“God forbid” i spat out, settled on a couch and nervously waited for Tessy to wake up..
