Nothing like love-Episode 19




Mitchell threw her clutch to her bed,her heels and phone went the same way.Vanessa who had been engrossed making up became alarm.Chel only behaved and that way whenever she was angry.


What’s with you girlfriend?


I don’t know how I feel,maybe terrible.


What happened “V” asked concerned


Why do you care? so you can go and s£duce Richard into sleeping with you.


Chell that wasn’t what I meant,am only been concerned about you.


Concerned’ Is that a what you call it? wow interesting. I guess that was how concerned you were when you slept with Godfrey.


Chell’


what? or am I lieng?it’s true na,you had him to your fill.


Vanessa stood up with unshed tears in her eyes to open the door. Standing before her was the guy that had slept with her weeks ago without even an apology. He never called or texted.


“Godfrey”


Hi V’ is mitch in?


Yeah come in.


She left the house almost immediately knowing fully well she wasn’t needed and to avoid Mitch ranting.


Godfrey went on his knees the moment he stepped in.


Mitch am sorry,it was just a moment weakeness.she doesn’t mean anything to me,you are the one that matter.I can’t live without you,believe me the last few months of my life have been completely meaningless. I want you back please Mitch.


Why did you have to hurt me,you knew how much I loved you and you happily used my weaknesses against me,dumped me for some months like some trash and come back to pick me whenever you want.


Mitch I hurt you but you aren’t trash,you are the best thing that had ever happened to me.Baby please come back to me I beg of you.


just live please.


Godfrey stood up and went over to where Chell sat on the bed.Within a twinkle of eye they were eating up each other’s lip.


Have missed you so much, Godfrey breathed out in between the kiss.


Have missed you more.Soon they were both unclad but it seemed they couldn’t just get enough of each other.


Vanessa felt useless,all she wanted was to get drunk and forget the pain she was going through.


How could he do this to her,not even an apology.He acted like nothing happened. She had wished and even fantasized him asking her out.A thought of those imaginations brought tears streaming down her eyes.Who was she to fall inlove? a fat plump lady with designers pimples all over her face.



Why were things this bad for her? Chel had all it takes.The beauty and the wealth.And most expecially a guy madly inlove with her.Even if she had absentminded parents,she rather lived Chel’s life than hers’.

Nothing like love-Episode 18




Richard watched Tare cry in his arms, he didn’t want to leave her in that state. He wanted to be a shoulder to lean on.


Tare gave Richard the key to her apartment when he asked,she wasn’t in her right senses to argue,all she needed now was someone to cry her heart to.


Tell me everything please,I promise it going to be between you and I. Richard said when they had gotten to her room.


Have you ever regretted been born? or should I say been born to a poor family? have never cared about the life I lived,I never cared about the food I ate,or even the kind of clothes I wore before I met aunt Angela. All have ever wanted was to study hard and make my own money when the time comes.But what I can’t take is been insulted and called names by my own mother because she wants me to get married to a man as old as my dad.


She sniffed,and cleaned the tears streaming down her eyes with the back of her palm.


Richard stood up from where he sat and enveloped her in his arms.


It’s okay Tee,everything is going to be fine I promise.


His words only made her sob louder,they remained that way till she slept off.Richard checked his time and it was already midnight. He couldn’t live that night,it was too risky.After few minutes of thinking on what to do,he placed Tare on her bed and covered her with her blanket. He had no choice than to sleep on the plastic chair.


Tare woke up earlier than expected,she had forgotten all about the event of the previous night till she saw him on the chair.


Rich wake up,she tapped him gently.


Richard yawned weakily.His neck hurt,he twisted it back and front before looking at Tare.


How are you feeling Tee?


Am better now.She gave him a weak smile.


Am sure your neck hurt,am sorry I put you through this stress.


Am not complaining and please don’t think about it too much.Am here for you anytime.


Thank you so much Rich.


Are you cooking? he asked Tare who wore an apron over her gown.


yes,I’ll be done in a bit.we will eat breakfast together.


can you cook?he teased
Rich did I…she was cut short by the knocking on the door.


A minute,she said to Richard and went for the door.


Sorry do I know you? Tare asked the beauty queen standing before her.


Am not here for you,get the hell out of my way.She pushed Tare who almost fell down and stood in front of Richard with her hands on her waist.


Are you stalking me chel?


you can call it whatever you want Richard,what did you take me for? 
Some sort of lady you treat like trash? for 2weeks you have ignored my calls and messages. And do you know what hurt me more,the fact that you asked your gateman to never let me in.What do you want? is it money? s-x? name it am ready to give you but don’t treat me like this.


Mitchell let’s talk outside he told her calmly.


Why not here? Because you don’t want your bedwarmer to hear right she said pointing at Tare.


This is the last time you call her names Mitchell he said with rage.


And what will you do if I call her names? what do you see in her? she isn’t even as preaty as I am.The earlier you know the better for you,this piece of trash you have as a bedwarmer is nothing but a gold digger.


Richard lost it and slapped her.


You slapped me? she held her already reddened chick in her hands as tears streamed down her eyes.


Yes I slapped you and I will add more if you don’t get the hell out of here.


Richh..ard..she stammered.


Get out chel,have tolerated enough of your craziness and we are over.


No..no.n..Richard you can’t do this to me .she
held his arm.


Richard shrugged off from her grip.


Knowing well she had lost the battle she turned to Tare and said
Watch out,he will dump you just like he did to me.He never fall in love,you are nothing more than fun to him.


With that she opened the door and left.


Tare am sorry for this
Just when I started trusting you,you brought your girlfriend to insult me.please get out.


Tare please hear me out
Get out Richard,I don’t ever want to see you again.


Richard left knowing fully well she won’t listen to him.


She felt the urge to call him back embrace him telling him she knew she wasn’t just fun to him..but went to her bed and cried her eyes out.



How do you think Richard will help Tare.please drop your thoughts!

Nothing like love-Episode 10




What the hell does he take himself for? treating me like a piece of trash in front of his friend.It not like I love him that much,he only have what I need in a man.Mitchell lamented to Vanessa who had been listening with rapt attention.


I can’t blame him chel,you made yourself desperate and cheap before him.


What are you saying v? I was only trying to protect my man.


You’re are wrong, why don’t you let a guy beg to date you. yes let him fight for your affection not otherwise.


I see Vanessa,start counting yourself as one of those people that hate me.


It not what you are thinking…I was
Before Vanessa could complete her sentence,Chel had carried her clutch already heading for the door.She had driven to Vanessa’s house hoping to feel better after the incident at Richards place.
How much she missed having Godfrey her ex,even though they had misunderstandings know one had cared for her like him.Expecially those times she felt so lonely, when her mother was admitted to the psychiatric and her father decided to reside in china,it was like loosing two parents at the same time but he was a shoulder to lean on.She even spent her holidays with his family,they all accepted and loved her until their break up.It been a year but the love is still intact.

Richard found himself humming to the music he played from his speaker. It had been 3weeks they had resumed to this new semester. 
He was putting finishing touch to his painting,though it was already good enough to be call perfect but he wasn’t satisfied. And the song from the speaker was turned to his favourite even though he wasn’t conversant with the lyrics.


where I belong by pete andre
lyrics
I only know am in love when I mean it
wishing you were here today
don’t run away forever
don’t wanna feel this way
when we meet my life gonna change in a minute
nothing gonna be thesame
I know am gonna find u
seem to me like
Am not asking much
this is how I feel
…………..




His moment was interupted by his dad who barged in
Dad,when did you arrive?how do you know I live here?


Now listen to me young man,am not here to exchange pleasantries. Your V.C made me make this impromptu visit,you should know I have you watched even though I am not in the country.


your first semester result was terrible,and have gotten so many report you’v been partying around and womanizing
Dad please
don’t you daree me Tare,you’v got to work hard because you are my only heir.Stop fooling yourself in painting rubish you don’t belong to that world.


But dad,this is what I have passion for.


Richard was fast enough to prevent the blow,he knew his dad hated painting just as he loved it with passion. He left but after much threatening.


Richard sat down with his hands in his palms,he should have known his dad would have him watched,the old man was a disciplinarian.


The whole painting issue was causing a rift between them.But that didn’t stop him from calling him Tare’ meaning he was still in safe hands. He had refused bearing the name since it means
‘love’ .He felt such name should be given to females, but his dad had preferred that to Richard. It seemed there’s something behind the name ‘Tare’.



I don’t know when the next episode might come up,my phone is misbehaving big time.

Excitement was written all over Tare’s face as she boarded the vehicle to lafia,the seamester had finally ended.Travelling home this time around was fun for her unlike when she was going to jos.she had boarded the cheapest vehicle which was probably the worst of it kind,it stopped at every interval.she wasn’t a bit comfortable and prayed endlessly the journey came to an end. Alas!it did. But things had changed,she was seated in a luxurious bus.All thanks to the jo’s who did everything for her without complaining.She brought her phone from her purple gucci handbag and dailed Aunt Angela number.




Angela stood in the guest room which used to be Tare’s room before she moved out to her own apartment,she couldn’t help but miss Tare.Now she was no longer leaving with them her loneliness had started again,her husband was always travelling out for one deal or the other.She had the whole house to herself,she wished for the umpteenth time she had children,the house would have been noisy. just then she heard her phone ring from the dining where she had forgotten it after breakfast. It was already a misscall at the time she got there
just the person she had been thinking of. “Tare”




Hello dear she said all smiles
Good morning aunt,am on my way home now.




oh dear am sorry have forgotten you would be leaving today,please don’t fail to send my greetings to everyone at home.

The line went dead as she smiled,she was definitely going to miss them but she been away from her family for too long. Not too long she slept off.

Later at night she had dinner with her family,it wasn’t bad as it used to since she Had given her mother some money to make a good soup not the watery soup they always had.They were all excited as she gave them the presents Angela had gotten for each of them.Her parent hadn’t failed to ask how she came about the money, she told them everything that happened without leaving a bit of what happened.

Awwww, you look gorgeous chell
Thanks,she said blushing
I bet all the guys will get lost looking at you tonight.

you are always a flaterer vanesa
Am for real here.

Mitchell wore a wine dress that stops a little above her knee, with her hair parked in a ponytail, she looked no different from barbie.

she picked her phone that had been ringing non-stop and placed it on her left ear.

Hi dad…

We have to be somewhere van, come with me.

To where? what’s the problem?

Michell ignored her questions and led the way to her car.She drove at an high speed till she got to her destination.

wait for me, I’ll be back shortly she said to Vanessa and fastened her footsteps inside the storey building.

Vanessa followed suit after some minites.

_______________________________

Mum, please stop crying
Mitchell i want my son, I want my baby boy
Mum, you have to accept his gone,I should be your only focus now.

No, I can’t take it anymore I need my son.i know his alive.cheal’s mum stood up and threw the teddybear she was holding away..

I need my son, and this is not my son.Mitcheal couldn’t take it anymore she started crying.

oh my baby, am sorry i threw you away, mummy is sorry.She took the teddybear and hugged it closely to her chest.

Vanessa ran back to the car, just when Mitchell stood up to leave. she had been eavesdropping
Mitchell’s mum had been in the psychiatric hospital but Mitchell had never mentioned it to her.she had always lied her mum was in Canada because of some business.

Vanessa turned the stereo acting like she had been listening to music all along
Hey did I take so long?

Nope, have been enjoying myself here .

okay she said softly.

So where are we heading?

To the party, have you forgotten am all dressed for it.

Yeah I know, but I don’t feel too good about the party,we weren’t even invited you know.

That’s not your problem vanessa, all is taken care of. She increased the music and drove off.

Vanessa couldn’t believe how Mitchell handled her problems without giving anyone a clue of what’s bothering her.She had been friends with her for 2years but never got to know her mother had been in the psychiatric, what else could she be hiding.

____________________________

Richard turned to stare at the goddess in human form (Mitchell) she looked extremely beautiful to be called just a human. Mitchell returned the gaze,as their eyes locked in what only them could explain. Mitchell body grew weak as Richard took closer steps to where she stood.

You are not from this planet i guess? Chell was lost in her own thoughts to answer his question.
Can someone be this handsome she almost blurted out.

Wow, I need to make call to heaven to tell them am with their missing angel.

Chell blushed, unable to hide her happiness.

So am Richard Ayiba-emi, he said and stressed of his hand.

Michell Yakubu.she took his hand.
What’s a pretty lady doing all alone by herself in a party.

Hum, am not alone i came with my friend, but she’s somewhere around.

Okay, care for a dance?

Yeah sure, by the way happy birthday Richard.

Thank you beautiful. she held her hands as they made for the dance floor.
