Val's Diary Series (Life As An Adult) - Season 1 - Episode 51

☆☆☆

“it’s about my friend Kingsley” she muttered, stood up and faced me with trembling lips. My heart froze on hearing the boy’s name. I really didn’t know what to expect next.

“oh dear, don’t tell me you have been sleeping with him?” i prayed with fear, deeply shaken with the suspense that overcame me. She quietly shook her head and looked down.

“no of course not, but” she replied, her face drawn with a slight frown. I slowly lifted up her face, staring deep into her eyes.
“now tell me what it’s all about. I beg of you?” i asked curiously. She swallowed hard and breathed deeply one more time.

“Kingsley is very much in love with me. And he has been acting like my boyfriend all these while, especially in public. I never did anything to stop him. And when he popped the request, asking me to date him, i declined at first but he kind of insisted and i was forced to tell him that i would think about it. Ever since then, he began playing the role of a boyfriend, and the way i have been treating you lately sort of encouraged him to assume that my heart is with him. Now telling him that i’m back with you will definitely hurt him. A situation i really won’t want to experience. I know it’s an easy thing to some girls, but the truth is that i have never been in such precarious situation” she poured out solemnly. I smiled and hugged her.
“he will be here any moment because he called me earlier before you showed up, telling me that he was coming over” she added fearfully.
“telling him your feelings shouldn’t be a problem my dear. Just tell him the truth and apologize if need be” i answered softly.
“noooo” she breathed.
“yes my dear” i insisted, drew back, held her face and stared into her eyes.
“oh how much i missed your lips my darling” i breathed while she blushed.
“Val you know i have always loved you. Our relationship is not all about family pressure. It’s forged out of real love but i’m still scared you will mess things up once again” she confessed, her eyes growing dim with real passion. I gently kissed her, taking my time to savour every moment. But as we were kissing passionately, we heard someone call Adaora’s name with great energy.

We turned to see Kingsley staring at us with disbelief. We never heard the sound of his car pull up into the compound, neither did we hear him enter the room. I guess the passion Adaora and i were sharing that moment blocked our ears.

“Kingsley i’m really sorry you are finding out things this way. I just don’t know what to say right now. You have been a good friend to me. And yes i’m very fond of you” Adaora quickly said to him, breaking free from me and advancing towards him. Her words unfortunately got the guy more angry.
“don’t dare move an inch closer. Of course i now get it” he barked, stopping Adaora with his words.
“you guys just had a little problem and you used me to get back at him. You used me for your own selfish interest. Why are women like this?. You wasted my time, toyed with my feelings and played with my heart. But it’s not over. At least you know what i’m capable of. No woman toys with my heart and lives to tell the story” he threatened, forcing me to step forward and advance towards him in anger but Adaora held me back, preventing me from going any further. He scoffed at me.
“Val you are just a little fly to me. Crushing you won’t take more than a minute. Ask Adaora, my actions speak louder than my words” he shouted, turned and left with rage. Adaora quickly hugged me, shaking with fright.

“i know what he’s capable of doing. I have witnessed it first hand. He dealt with Tessy and her friends when they attacked me even though i never fully supported what he did. Nothing happened to him, and i bet he can easily do the same thing to you, just to get back at me” she confessed softly.
“and why keep such rascal as a friend?” i asked with a slightly raised voice, but she never answered.

All she did was to cry on my shoulder. I had no choice than to calm her with sweet words, caressing her hair as well.
But what’s the reason for her tears??
