Continuation….
.
I walked throu-gha lonely road suddenly two men came out from the bushes and tryna attack me.
They held me and try tearing my clothes.
Suddenly someone came with a cycle and alighted he charge at them and beat them up.
They got tried of the beating and flew back into the bushes.
Every since this strange man arrived .
I haven’t have a glance on him.
I’d arched a brow and I’d saw it was Richa-rd.
Immediately I saw his face i woke up .
It was all a dream ,a nightmare and Richa-rd appeared and saved me.
I sprung up on my bu-tt. ‘ What this ‘ I wonder within.
Is this dream part of the memory I lost .
I don’t un-derstand. Guess I’ve to ask Richa-rd about it.
It only him alone that can tell if his true
‘ Gosh,why am I even gonna ask him. He already told me he saved me from those hoodlums the very first time we met’ i said to myself remembering what he told me at the hospital.
I will love to communicate with him over the phone.
Gosh it just got dawn on ms that i don’t even have a phone and beside I don’t even have his number.
” Why are you not at sleep ” I heard Kim say with a yawning voice.
She was sleeping next to me.The window was opened,so the moon light makes the room atmosphere bright.
So one could see the other.
” I was thinking Kim.I don’t have a phone and….do you perhaps collect Richa-rd’s number ” I said, a mysterious grin from her was a reply I gat.
I rolled my eyes away, because I do un-derstand the meaning of those grin.
” Hmm ” she scoffed.
” At least tell me if you’ve his number, rather than humming ” I half yelled.
” I did collect his number, when everyone was busy celebr@ting ya return and tomorrow we be the bug celebr@tion, well not that big. You will meet Richa-rd there and you can demand for a phone from him and sure he won’t hesitate to buy you one ” she stated.
” What made you think I will demand for a phone from him? ” He helped me a lot and i will not demand for anything more okay ” I pointed out and she rolled her eyes away.
” If you don’t do it. I will ” she whispered , but her voice was ba-rely a whisper. I could hear her.
” What do you say ” I inquired.
” It’s nothing ” she pretended.
” Don’t dare ask him to get me a phone. If he comes around okay ” I scold.
” Okay ” she promised. I dunno, Kim is gonna spark about it that am sure.
She is always the parrot beak.
” Good ” I said, but still not convince.
She turn and stretch her hand to collect something from the table.
She brou-ght her phone and handled it over to me.
” You can give him a call right now ” she suggested and I frowned.
” Are you nut ” I gibed.
” Look at the outside. It’s an odd hour ” I reminded.
” Yea, okay you can just text him saying, how are you doing, thanks for everything am really grateful. We’re friends already this is Judy not….
” I don’t want him to think am having some sort of feelings for him and beside he is in a relationship ” I struggled.
” I Doubt that ” she queried.
” Doubt what ” I pored.
” I doubt if she as anything to do with that bitc-h. The only connection between him and that woman is his child and nothing more. I’d saw how much care he showed when you were in the hospital bed. He even sheds some tears. Judy he is in love with you ” she struggled and I frowned.
” I won’t be able to love him back. Brian his the only one I love ” I said and she sighed.

” Just give him a call ” she tryna persuade me.
” No and that final go back to sleep now and it’s not a request but an order ” I scold with authority.
” Okay but yo…
She cease her statement when she caught me glaring.
” Please listen to….
” I don’t wanna hear it ” I interrupted.
” Judy just listen to me at…..
“Geez, now I’ve to hear it ” I muttered lowly.
” Em off to bed ” she stated giving a baby face before laying down.
I sighed as she lay down.
I lay down also but i couldn’t even sleep all my thought was about Richa-rd.
I really badly wanna give him a call but my mind says no.
Is best i obey my mind. Loving Richa-rd means am gonna betray Brian.
It not as if he as be gone for a year.
But why is it that am no longer affected by is pas-s away.
Or have I full falling in love with this guy.
Sooner, I drifted to sleep and went un-der duvet.
.
Richa-rd POV.
.
I kept tossing and turning thinking about Judy.
I wonder what the future beholds.
I can’t stop thinking about her.
Tomorrow is gonna be a chance I’ll be able to have a conversation with her.

#The_Next_day
.
Elena POV
.
I prepared breakfast as usually Richa-rd will never have a taste of my food.
I’m gonna still cope with his attitude. He only thinks of the bitc-h Judy.
I got to plan something big, something more than Sofia in other for me to get Richa-rd.
But I haven’t able to come up with something i guess.
Richa-rd all set for work. He ki-ss Sofia on the forehead and didn’t even raise a brow at me.
.
Richa-rd POV
.
I ki-ss Sofia on the forehead and was about going to work.
Elena said she hasn’t enroll Sofia in any school yet after coming back from the state.
I’ll look into that after Judy’s welcome party the family are gonna throw for her today.
She nee-ds to be in school. But does this bitc-h care. All she cares for is how to blackmail.
If she knows how much i do detest her.
As for me the party. Thank goodness it’s Friday today.
The closing time in the restaurant today it 4.
Normally it closes at 5.
The party is gonna commence at 4’00 at least am gonna be there by 4’30.
I’ll take Sofia along with me as i promised.
But the real fact about it. I feel awkward to live Sofia in the hands of Elena.
I wonder when am gone to work what on earth will she do to her.
She shouldn’t dare all else am set her bu-tt on fire.
She always yell at her.
” Em off baby am gonna be back and take you along with me ” I as-sured Sofia she smile at me with a mouthful.
I return her smile and was about living when i heard Elena say
” Why are you still in this f*¢king waiter job anyway. I can make you famous with the talent you’ve. Your music. I know some music directors that is gonna sponsor you. All i nee-d to do is to give them info about you and next you will a superstar ” She said with sarcasm visible in her tone and i smi-rked.
” That will not go without a blackmail, will it ” I questioned with a sm-irk. She return the sm-irk back.
” Hmm, maybe. I’m that bad like you think ” she replied
” Maybe indeed” I scoffed and stare at Sofia who was looking at the both of us.
Before Elena say more word and get me more angry I gotta to go.
I was about moving when i heard Elena say again
” Where ever you are going am gonna go along. Am coming to the party too” she pointed out.
How’d she knew am going to a party.
I didn’t mention it to her.
I turn and gaze at her confusedly she smiled deviously.
” You are wondering how came to no. I had eavesdrop on ya conversation with Sofia” she said.
” Oh i see, Only Sofia is coming with me and that is final ” I said without waiting for what else she as to say. I left the house.
I hopped into the cycle and march on the br@kes.
I rode along.
I got to the restaurant and alighted.
When I went in I met my boss on the doorway.
That great am not gonna miss is scolding.
I sighed and check my wristwatch it shows am just five minutes late. I’d went to him. He had the a killer glare on his face. He always had that glare when ever one of is worker are late.
” Why is are you sometimes late and some times you come early. Why is that ” he demanded sternly.
If only he knew the kind of problem am into.
” This is your last warning if you come late again am gone to get you fired. We don’t wanna loose a ha-rd working worker like you. But just go in ” he said.
I went in. Just five minutes late and he is making mountain at of a mole hill.
I went in and start serving costumer.
.
Judy POV
.
I didn’t give him a call.I don’t want him to think otherwise.
But Judy isn’t bad to give him a call.why are you hesitating .
I pick Kim phone and gave him a call.
He answer the call and my heart skip a beat.
” Hello Kim ” he said.
” Am not Kim is Judy speaking ” I said and he was silent.
Maybe he was surprise that I gave him a call.
” Just wanna ask if you will make it here ” I struggled and he was still silent.
Gosh ,why isn’t he speaking .
” Hello ” I called but no reply.

I thought it was Kim. But when I came to know it was Judy, I became speechless.

” I’ll be there. Sure really wanna see the lady I love ” I said my last statement was just a whisper to myself.
” What do you say ” she pored.
Oh my God! did she heard my last statement.
” It’s nothing ” I replied.
” You are a weirdo really, can’t you say anything apart from ‘it’s nothing’ ” she said and hang up the call.
Gosh!!! why did i act strange, I cussed and turn to meet my glaring boss.

Richa-rd POV
.
I went home to get Sofia. So she can come along with me to Judy’s party.
But i couldn’t find her home and neither Elena.
I immediately receive a call from Elena when i step into the house.
She said over the phone that she is with Sofia that if she wants Sofia to come with me, I should let her come too.
Elena will never let me be. What of if she creates a scene there.
” you can come. But you’ve to promise not to create a scene please if not for me at least for our child ” I said.
” Yes, am not gonna create a scene again ” she promised, but i rolled my eyes away.
” Just tel me the name of the place. I and Sofia will meet you there ” she said.
I sighed and told her the name of the place.
” I love you ” she said and i scoffed inwardly.
” Keep your damn love to yourself ” I replied sarcastically.
” Richa-rd baby please…
I hang up the call before use could even complete whatever she wanna say.
Damn bitc-h, if only she knew how i loath her so much.
I’m only friendly with her because of my child.
I sighed and headed outta of the house and went to my cycle i rode along.
.
Judy POV
.
The party as started but i kinda of feel awkward because Richa-rd isn’t here yet.
C’mon Judy focus at ya audience here stop worrying about Richa-rd be here yet, I said to myself.
I keep looking at the entrance as the people around where cheering up.
Kim came closer and whisper in my ears.
” why is ya as-s on fire. Can’t wait to see Richa-rd ” she said and i frowned.
” Not th.. that ” I stuttered and she chuckled.
” Get going ” I almost yelled and she went away.
I glance at the doorway once more before looking at the audience at her before me.
I forge a smile at them.
I glance at the door again and saw Richa-rd walking in.
A smile curve my li-ps. I didn’t know when i ran and gave him a hu-g.
When he dawn on me what i just did.
I quickly yank myself from him.
He was just staring at me. Am sure many thoughts are running throu-ghis mind now.
” You came ” I said, trying my best to hide my happy expression.
“Yea “he replied without removing his eyes away from me.
It made me uncomfortable and i gazed away and stare at the audience who all had their eyes now on me.
I ignore them and went to join them. Richa-rd trailed behind me.
“Hello ” someone called from the doorway.
I turn and saw the same lady that claim she and Richa-rd are in a relationship.
I became sad all of a sudden. It as if presence her hurt me.
But I waved it off with a forge smile.
She came to me and hu-gged me.
” You do look good. But can you kind of stay away from Richa-rd if possible. We do love each other ” she whispers it into one of my ear.
Those word pierce my heart. I felt heart broken when i heard that.
She disengage from me and put on a smile before going in the midst of the little crowd presence.
My eyes was almost teary. I can’t tell what I feel.
Am in love with Richa-rd.
I arched a brow and caught Richa-rd looking at me.
I stared at him. Kim was the one who je-rked me up.
” What did that f*¢king bitc-h say to you ” she gibed and i frowned.
” You should never use foul languages for people no matter what ” I scold and she rolled her eyes away.
” Am sure she said something to you. That why you’re hurt right ” she inquired.
” Nope. ” I responded and shh are up before she could utter another word.
Richa-rd came to me.
” Did she say anything to you ” he demanded he seems mad.
” Not at such, but I don’t un-derstand the relationship you’ve with her” I queried.
” I don’t have anything with her. She is my ex girlfriend and….
” There is no nee-d to explain to me ” I said hoping what he says her true.

Richa-rd POV
.
Elena as this suspicious grin. Making me anxious of what she wanna do here.
She is all acting weird. What her motive here ❓ I’d asked myself rhetorically.
Her eyes was darted to the door.
I gaze at her direction and became stunned.
My eyes widen.

Judy POV

I turn and my eyes darted to the door.
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
I became stunned and my eyes widen.
I was taking back.
” You’re…….
