I followed Adaora to the kitchen, held her waist from behind and kissed her neck,
"i'm very sorry dear, i got bored staying here all alone, so i took a little stroll down town" i explained,
"please save yourself the explanation, i never asked you for it" she replied coldly,
"cm'on on dear why are you like this?" i asked and kissed her neck again,
"it pains me alot whenever you start your little pranks, it pains me further when you lie about it, but do you know what pains me the most?" she asked, turned and faced me. I swallowed hard and met her gaze,
"when you come up with a stupid lie which even a nursery school pupil will find hard to believe" she muttered with anger in her eyes,
"so you think i will buy your stupid lie about strolling downtown in a hot afternoon, mummy's boy like you, abeg go jor, just know that nothing is hidden under the sun for long, and just pray that whatever will end our relationship should be something which you will be proud to talk about or tell your people without blushing" she poured out and left the kitchen.
I swallowed hard with a fast pounding heart, while her words kept repeating in my head like a stereo player. My conscience equally flogged me. I really was thrown into a terrible state.
Sometimes carefully selected words can pull down a man with a lion heart. Her words truly sounded like a very big warning as if she somehow caught a glimpse of the direction i was heading.
"just pray that whatever will end our relationship should be something which you will be proud to talk about or tell your people without blushing" kept repeating again and again in my head.
'Damn Adaora' i cursed, brought out my phone {which was already switched off} and stared at it, as if it was the cause of my problems. I bit my lips, breathed deeply, rushed to my room, opened my travelling bag, threw the phone inside, sat on the floor with exhaustion and thought over my actions.
Surely if only i could leave this phone switched off for atleast a week, everything will turn back to normal" i reasoned, "but can i?" i wondered and breathed deeply.
My eyes instantly fell on my second phone which was switched off since i arrived Abuja from Owerri. I remembered Olivia, sighed and grabbed it, wondering how many messages she must have left in it for me....
