Episode 5
I felt a bit of pity for Janet even though I was blinded
by my love for Ada. Asides her pompous and
overbearing attitude, she was a sweet girl and did
care a lot about me.
She came to my house the following day and i was
alone. She seemed to have changed over night. She
looked humbled and tired, her eyes were a shade of
red and her face wasn't so bright as before. Believe
me, i wasn't so happy this was happening but it was
all pity that i felt, if love was ever in the equation, i
will guess its so small to be consequential. She had
sat and stared at me with pity in her eyes.
"What happened Quin, who is that girl?" she had
asked me
"Her name is Ada, i met her the last time i travelled
to my village and she is right now living in this town"
i didn't believe i was giving her the details, it only
went further to prove how deep i was into Ada and i
was ready to show her to the world.
"Quincy is there nothing left between us, is there
Nothing i can do to get you back to me? " she asked.
Dumping her the way i did was wicked in a way but
giving her the answer to that question would be
straight heartless of me. I didn't know what to do or
say. I went over to her and hugged her. She held me
tight and sniffed.
" Just know i didn't expect this to happen, we met
and fell for each other and there was nothing we could
do"
"You could have remembered that someone loved you
and was waiting for you to come back, Quincy just
have it in mind that you hurt someone that loved and
cared about you, i won't forget that". She said and
left. I can't say i need her forgiveness because i
didn't think i did anything wrong. I didn't exactly woo
her or asked her to be my girl, back then everyone
was after her in school because it seemed she was
the next big thing, she was the queen of the school
and all the guys wanted her but she wanted none of
them. She was a girl that knew what she wants and
wouldn't hesitate to go for it. That was how she got
close to me, she obviously was digging me but i
needed her just to brag to my friends with her. She
was a girl you could take to any party. That was how
we kicked off.
I met Ada later in the evening. When her aunt had left
for the hospital and her husband wasn't back yet. I
needed to see her to get out of the mood Janet put
me in.
"I don't like the way my uncle looks at me" she told
me as we strolled around.
"What? He doesn't like you" i asked
"No, he looks at me like he wants to eat me" she said
and we laughed
"So he is eyeing you? " i asked
" I think so, just yesterday when my aunt was still out,
he was asking me if he could help me carry my waist
as if it was heavy"
"Hmmm, tell him that I'm strong enough to carry it for
you" i said and she hit me on my arm.
"Don't be silly, I'm just avoiding him for now, i don't
know why boys are always looking at me whenever
they are around me"
"Its because you are beautiful"
"I don't like it, it makes me feel like i'm wearing my
cloth upturned and i may trip and fall one day from
their looks."
I held her hand and squeezed it, she squeezed back
and kissed her on the forehead.
"I love you, just know that no one will ever love you
more than i do" i said and she hugged me.
"I love you too "
" I'm lucky to have you, can i help you carry your
waist?" i asked smiling.
"Its yours "she said as as i lifted her off the ground.
