shadow of love episode 12

Me: What? Franca said that?

Flord: Pamela....

Me: Shut up Flord. I'm not talking to you.

I saw the shock in Charles face at the way I snapped at Flord.

Me: Charles. Please, I'll pretend that you didn't say that. Franca and I are friends so we're bound to have issues and we'll still make up. I don't know what she told you but you really need to sit your girlfriend down and have a serious discussion with her.

There was a minute or two silence in the room before Charles spoke up again.

Charles: Pamela?

Me: Hmm?

Charles: Is there more to this than I'm seeing it? You can always talk to me y'know?

I felt pity towards him. If only he knew that the two faced idiot who was sharing the same cushion with him was also sharing his girlfriend with him.

Charles: Pamela?

I shook my head and stood up

Me: Nothing. Just talk to your girlfriend. I'll be inside.

Charles: Wait please.

I stopped and he walked to me.

Charles: Should she look for an apartment elsewhere?

Me: It's her choice. For me, if she doesn't mend her ways, I'll keep on being her nightmare in this house. It's her choice.

Charles: For goodness sake Pamela, I have this strong feeling that you're hiding something from me. You two can't just become like this all of a sudden. Tell me something I don't know Pamela.

Franca stepped out from her room that instant.

Me: I'll leave you to ask Flord and your girlfriend that question.

I walked out on them and went into my room.
I was hungry and needed something to eat that minute.
I changed into one of my home clothes and made for my kitchen. There was no one else in the house so I locked the door and went into the kitchen. I started boiling rice since I had stew in my fridge. Tobe hasn't called so I decided to reach him.

Me: Hi dear.

Tobe: Baby. I was just about calling you. What are you doing?

Me: Cooking and missing the love of my life.

Tobe: So romantic. I'll be joining you tonight.

Me: Wow. I'm happy to hear that.

Tobe: For real?

Me: Of course. I'll be waiting

Tobe: I'll be there after dinner.

Me: Alright. I'll eat then instead of waiting for you.

Tobe: See you soon honey.

Me: Alright.

I ate and relaxed in my room, waiting for my boyfriend to come and give me good loving but he never came. I waited for an hour or so before I heard the door open. I was sure it was Franca so I just kept mute and slowly closed my eyes to sleep.

The screaming from the other room woke me up and I couldn't help but hiss. What a cheap thing. I'm sure it's not Charles who's making her scream that way. I looked at my table clock and it was past twelve. Tobe didn't show up neither did he call. I undressed and quickly went into the shower, the scream from the other room, aiding me to give myself some release while I thought about what Tobe and I would have being doing by this time.

I came out and picked my phone. I dialled his number but it was switched off. I couldn't get some sleep. No, not with all these grunts and screams. I left my room and went to the sitting room. I hadn't spent close to twenty minutes when I heard his voice. He was shouting at someone but what was he doing here at this time? Wait! Was that voice coming from Franca's room? I stood up to go and confirm my fears when the door burst open and they both came out in what looked like a struggle. Franca was na'ked while Tobe had just his boxer on. He was shouting and holding Franca so tight that it looked like her wrist would break.

I was so shocked that I couldn't say anything. They noticed my presence and Tobe quickly left her and ran to me. My eyes were stuck on Franca who had a smirk on her face.

No! This wasn't happening to me. No!
I ran into my room and locked my door but the tears didn't fall. I was still lost. He knocked continuously on my door but I refused to open up. I was still lost in my own world when I heard them arguing. They argued for a while before I heard a thug, followed by Franca's wail and then silence.
