Dayo's Angel episode 2

Dayo's Angel Episode two
“So where were you headed”? He tried to chat her up; he couldn’t let this beauty slip through his fingers.
“Uhmmmm, home” Moyo lied. What else could she say? She didn’t have a place to stay and she didn’t want to burden anyone, she had already stressed him, it was partly her fault that he hit her.
“Home? Where’s home”? He pressed on, he noticed she avoided his eyes when he asked, she seemed evasive and this interested him the more.
“So here we are, time to treat that leg” Dayo’s voice intruded them once again.
“Doctor….” Moyo smiled as Dayo neared her, completely ignoring Kay’s question.
“Yes? Princess, I need to give you a tetanus shot, so your wound does not be infected” he replied. Her smile had pricked his heart, it was so genuine, so pure and he wished he could have that every day.
“Thank you” Moyo smiled and prepared her hand for the needle that he stuck out.
“So Moyo, I hope Kay isn’t giving you much trouble, he’s a very mischievous person” Dayo winked at his friend.
“Trouble”? Moyo arched a brow not following his cue.
“Dayo…” Kay drawled, he knew what his friend was getting at and he wasn’t ready to tell him a thing if Dayo knew the Truth; that Moyo wasn’t his girlfriend then that could jeopardise his plans.
“Sorry bro” Dayo sighed and focused on Moyo’s slender legs.
She loved the way he worked on her, the way his gentle hands brushed her skin, their eyes had met severally, but he was always the first to look away.
She felt stupid, what exactly was she thinking flirting with a married man?
“You need to bring her in a week’s time for check up at the orthopaedic ward, but right now, she’s fine” Dayo rose to his feet and flashed her a smile.
“Thank you very much Doctor” Moyo stretched her leg and realised the pain had lessened.
“Dayo…” He chipped in and she laughed, both men fixed their eyes in them, her laugh sounded like a carol on a good Christmas afternoon.
“Guys, food is ready” Ada joined them, she had a better view of Kayode’s girlfriend, she was pretty, and from the way Dayo stared at her, she knew he liked her.
“Sorry, we’ll be leaving immediately, thanks Ada, take care of my friend” Kay rose to his feet, he couldn’t prolong their stay there, it would ruin his plans.
“Why the hurry? Don’t you want to eat at my house?” Dayo turned to Moyo.
“Uhmmm” she licked her lips, her mouth felt dry as she stared at both men, if only they knew her problem; she needed shelter.
“We have to go Moyo, come on” Kay helped her up. She was a bit surprised at his authoritative tone, he seemed angry about something.
“Bye doctor” Moyo smiled and waved the woman who had completely ignored her.
“Bye dear” Dayo waved back. Something wasn’t right, Kayode was hiding something from him, he was sure of it.
“You like her” Adaeze said as Kayode drove out.
“I don’t” Dayo replied, he couldn’t like his friend’s girlfriend.
“You do, but she isn’t right for you, I don’t like her, she seems evil” Ada replied.
“Slow down baby sis, that’s Kay’s girl we’re talking about. Now let’s go inside and eat, we need to see the lawyer tomorrow”.
“Make yourself at home, feel very comfortable and relaxed, let me prepare you something to eat” Kayode rushed into the house to prepare her a room.
Moyo nodded silently and scanned the whole living room, he was right; his house was really a paradise. They had journeyed from Dayo’s place for an hour plus, she was glad they had finally arrived; at least, she could rest her head and worry about the days ahead. Kayode had offered to shelter her for some days before she embarked on her journey “home”.
She dreaded the day she’d have to leave back to the streets, what if she just opened up to him and told him the simple truth? That she was homeless and had no place to stay.
“What if”? Her lips moved as she caressed a fine still life painting, the walls of the living room were brightly coloured, a fine beige hue, illuminated by blue chandeliers and pictures graced it.
She laughed as she watched the pictures, from his childhood to his adulthood; his whole life could be followed on the wall.
“Do you like it”? He’d been observing her for some minutes; he loved the way she laughed.
“Uhmmm, yes I do” Moyo sighed and faced him, she had begun to relax in his presence, he really meant no harm.
“I prepared a room for you, come see” he beckoned to her and she followed him.
“Thanks so much” she smiled, he was really kind. He had dressed the bed and placed a tiny puppet on it, she wished she had such a room for herself, but her aunt’s husband had ruined it all.
“I should get you some food, dilemma,” he said and walked towards the door.
“I don’t feel like eating” Moyo called after him. Thoughts about dilemma had resurfaced and she suddenly lost appetite.
“Why? Are you upset with me”? He rushed to her side.
“No, why would I be”? She narrowed her brows.
“So why are you rejecting dinner”? He asked.
“I am not hungry, thanks very much for everything” she insisted.
“Okay then, darling, do you mind taking a cup of tea”? Kayode asked.
“No problem” she replied.
“Do you hear that”? Moyo heard someone screaming, whoever that was, was seriously upset about something.
“Excuse me, let me handle that” Kayode peeped outside the window and felt his heart race, why did she choose to show up then? He’d already set his plans in motion and her presence would ruin everything.
Moyo quickly rushed to the window, she wasn’t a fool, Kayode was hiding something from her.
He had rushed outside to meet her, what was she doing in his house? She was his ex and he had not set eyes on her for six months.
“Where did you hide your bitch? I need to see her right now” Emem yelled angrily.
She had been in a relationship with Kayode for six years and he had broken up with her on her refusal to abort his pregnancy.
“What are you doing in my house? “? He asked coolly. Emem was his ex and he didn’t regret his action, she was not good enough for a wife.
” I need that girl out here, as you can see, i am heavily pregnant for you, i also have with me a weapon I would use on you and your whore, so I need to see her now” she fetched the gun from her purse. That did it that got his attention, he couldn’t let anything happen to Moyo, he had to save her.
