I have to admit, this right here is not my finest hour. Wiping this particular table for twenty minutes now. Cause they have have been sitting there a while now and it's making me both nervous and curious “Oh forget it, I threw the cleaning rag aside and went to sit close to Mimi Vivian: hi you. You're Lizzy right? She smiled turning to me. Confused I turned to Mimi who had same smile on her face Me: I'm lost here. What's going on. Thought you had a kid and you're threa....well you know Vivian: yea, I do have a kid. How do you know? Her brows furrowed as she looked at me for answers clearly Me: what are you talking about? I turned to Mimi who though has a little bit of doubts on her features seemed relieved and actually relaxed for real Mimi: Vivian has a kid but he isn't Henry's She beamed looking from both of us while I spotted a confused look Me: what? Hold on a second, but you've been threatening him I turned to look at her, even more confused Vivian: threatening him? Why would I do that? She looked at me, more confused than I was Mimi: okay, but why did you call him after all these years Vivian: cause I got back into town with my family and I thought I'd call to say hi, but he got mad and said all sorts of things and even something about breaking his girlfriend and him up Me: hold on. Your family? Vivian: yea, I'm married and I got two kids now She smiled and flashed her ring at us Me: To your baby's daddy? Vivian: yea. We had a little problem, then we separated and I was in a really rough place. And then Henry called and I thought I needed the distraction but I was wrong. He was hurting too, and kept talking about Evans and how he's feeling bad for him. So I took him home since he was too drunk and in no way capable of driving. Then I talked to Mark, My husband and I realised I was pregnant with his baby. Soon we got married and had our baby. I am really happy (smiling) Me: Whoa! That's just wow. Congratulations I turned to her and she beamed nodding. I looked to Mimi and she seemed indifferent, like she seemed relieved but at same time still uneasy but she wasn't saying anything Me: how many times did you say you called him? Vivian: Once. It's why I got worried when he was yelling at me on phone. So I thought to come see you (turning to Mimi) and ask what's going on, since I can't get to him Me: If you just called him just once, then who was threatening him? I turned to Mimi whose worry lines on her face seemed visible now Vivian: what? Whose threatening who? Me: we have no idea....... 3 Likes |

Mimi and I both shared gazes and then looked away, both unable to utter a single word since Vivian left “If you have questions about him, just ask, I've got some dirty deets, Vivian winked before she got up to leave to go tend to her kids. And please tell him I have to talk to him she pleaded. Mimi nodded and she left “She seems nice,I finally spoke out, tired of the deafening silence but Mimi still remained still, peering deeply at the table not paying the least attention to her environs “Mimi? I shook her to snap her of her daze ”Huh? She turned to me, still stunned though Me: You seem out of it. Are you okay? Mimi: yea, I'm fine. What were you saying? Me: I said vivian seems nice, and seems truly happy with her life I smiled, thinking back to how Vivian was gushing about her husband and kids with a smile plastered her face. I looked up to Mimi but she was spotting a serious look Mimi: This is serious Liz. If Vivian wasn't the one sending the threats, then who was? Me: don't worry, I bet it's just someone trying to scam him. Now that we found it she isn't the one, you should be happy Mimi: I know...(trailing) but I can't see to. Something doesn't add up. What if there's something really out there, who's out to get us Me: I wouldn't worry about that. Plus if anyone should be worried, it should be me.... I trailed, looking away Mimi: what? Me: it's nothing. Just try not to worry. Everything will be fine, it already is Just then, George walked in on us George: hello ladies He greeted. Mimi threw a curt smile and nodded and I nudged her, seeing as his facials turned sour from her response Mimi: I'm sorry George. I just got something on my mind George: it's okay(his face lifted into a smile) are you ready? (turning to me) Me: yea, just give me a minute I got up and turned to go get my purse and Mimi excused herself also tailing behind me. I got my purse and turned to go meet him but Mimi was staring down at me Me: you have something to say? I frowned a little, but she crossed her hands over her chest Mimi: Nope, have fun She turned and left to go tend to a customer that walked in. I took a deep breath and went to meet George ********** “Where are we going? I turned to him, few minutes into the drive “Oh, just some place, he smiled to me and turned back to the road and we drove in a comfortable silence “We're here, he parked and we got out “its pretty, I commented as we walked into the restaurant “I know, that's why I brought you here, he smiled gestured for me to go in. I frowned a little, worried about his nice gesture but shrugged it off as him being a good friend. I walked in and we got a table Me: this place is really nice George: I know He smiled and a waiter walked to us to get our orders. We ordered and the waiter left. I cleared my throat and looked up to him Me: so,we need to talk George: yes, we do. I'm so sorry about my behaviour back in your house Me: No, it's fine, I'm sure it was just a game. I'm sorry you got hit I frowned a little, thinking back how he was bleeding when Evans hit him George: oh, it's fine. But I was serious though Me: what? I took the glass of water set before us, to quench my parched throat George: I was serious. I never stopped loving you I spit out the water almost immediately, after he finished, my eyes widening from the scene I caused. I apologized for the attention I drew from lookers cause they all seemed rich and fancy. I turned back to George and saw my damage. The water splashed all over his shirt “I am so Sorry, I brought out a handkerchief, got up to dab on his shirt but he smiled and told me to sit Me: I'm so sorry I embarrassed you George: it's fine, really I nodded, then went back to the statement that caused the whole scene Me: wh...what do mean you never stopped. We agreed to be just friends, and you said you moved on George: I know, but I lied, I didn't want you feel bad. I still love you Lizzy, I never stopped loving you Me: Please stop, I can't take this right now. I have a lot on my head and you...you just can't George: Lizzy, I.... Me: No, no George, please stop George: please hear me out.. Me: No George (I snapped, getting side stares, but I didn't care anymore) We broke up, and we moved on. We're just friends now, nothing more George: I can't be just friends anymore, knowing that everyday I think about you, how I want to hold you close and cuddle with you, and kiss you deeply and.... Repulsed, I got up abruptly, and almost everyone turned to look at us Me: we're done. I moved on, I'm with Evans now and you know that. You should moved on too I turned and walked out not minding the plain stares from lookers. I walked out of the restaurant, my breath ragged from anger and just then George ran out yelling my name Me: what? I turned to face him George: I'm sorry, I crossed a line back there Me: you should be. You told me you moved on, and I was happy, so what the héll was that about? George: well, I'm sorry not all of us has the amazing ability to just move on like you did He snapped Me: what's that supposed to mean? George: we broke up and immediately you ran into his hands. He was the reason the reason we broke up in the first place, wasn't it? He yelled, anger dancing in his eyes. Visibly seething, I remained calm and looked up to him Me: we're done here I turned on my heels, and started walking not sparing him a second glance. And he didn't bother stopping me, for which I was glad. As I walked on, the anger dissolved a bit and in its place worry took over. Was he right? Did I really break up with him because of Evans. Was I ever in love with him? 5 Likes |

“Baby, I love you,but you know I can't make it right now. I travelled out, I told you that, so you need to stop calling me okay?. John please, I'll talk to you later. I have to go now, bye. And she hung up and started cursing I've been sitting here listening on, on this lady's conversation. I know I'm been rude right now but it seemed sweet at first, but now I'm not so sure anymore A guy walked up to her later on and kissed her on the cheek, while she blushed “Not on the street Isaac”, she nagged, “people will see. He apologized and they walked away holding hands I was deep in thought after they left. “was I like that with George, was I mentally cheating on him like this lady is obviously cheating on her boyfriend, and I didn't even know? I jerked little when I felt my phone vibrate from my bag on my leg. I pulled it out and It was Evans. I rejected and put the phone off tired of all the dramas lately. I got up, hung my bag and headed home, not wanting to go to the café anymore. I got home and Evans was sitting by my door his head in a bent position and he seemed deep in thoughts He raised his head and all thoughts I had vanished. Seeing him made my heart start beating erratically in my chest. He had worry lines on his face but all I want to do is pull him close and hold him for a long time. His eyes felt like they were looking right through my soul and I couldn't help but get lost in them. It felt like the first time again with him. I'm completely, utterly and madly in love with him an I don't care who it hurts. I have him and I don't wanna lose him anymore. I don't care if I hurt George. I'm always gonna carry that baggage with me, but I can't feel bad cause of this right here, because this feels too right “Hey, I called and he got up and came and pulled me in a hug while I relinquished the anger and worry I held and inhaled in the scent that is Evans's. I hugged him back like a child who just found her lost teddy bear and I don't wish to let go “I'm so sorry I lost it. I shouldn't have hit him,I shouldn't have yelled and said all those things to you,he rushed out over my shoulders “Hey, I pulled away from him gently missing his hold on me too quickly Evans: you have every right to be mad, I get it Me: I'm not mad, not anymore anyway I smiled a little, trying to ease his heart Evans: I'm really sorry, I just got so mad, when he said that and... I don't wanna lose you Liz He held my hands looking intently at me. I freed one of my hand and placed it on his face, not looking away I smiled but it dropped caused he looked so vulnerable. “You're not gonna lose me okay? Caressing his cheek with my thumb, I smiled and he smiled right back “Sorry I didn't pick your calls Evans: it's fine, it's my fault Me: no, it's not. I should've tried talking to you. I made you worry didn't I? Evans: not anymore He pulled me in again to himself and we stayed like that both too absorbed in the moment to pull away ********** “Babe, you're phone's ringing. Evans called out as I was in the kitchen preparing something Me: can you please pick it up and check who it is Evans: all right I went back to what I was doing. I suddenly started craving something really sweet after Evans and I got in. I decided to make any thing sweet, not sure what exactly I'm baking, but from the level of sugar I've poured in, let's just hope I don't become very close with the toilet “Babe? I turned around smiling but it dropped when I saw the worry on Evan's face Me: what's going on? Who was that? Evans: that was Miriam Me: what? I frowned a little Evans: I think we need to go to the hospital now. Mimi got into an accident..... 2 Likes |

I padded down the hospital gate and almost ran into a couple walking out. “Sorry I yelled, not turning to look at them but hope I didn't cause any damage I left Evans behind, practically jumping out the moving vehicle, while he goes to park in the designated area for visitors. We rushed out the house immediately we got the news as we asked for the hospital. Lucky enough, she was taken to Henry's “Excuse me”, I approached the nurse behind the counter. “I'm looking for Miracle, Miracle Adebayo, she was rushed in for emergency, my brows furrowed in worry as this lady is been still, while I might be having a nervous breakdown. I rushed past her since she wasn't providing much details and ran down the hospital hallway in search for a certain Emergency unit and Evans caught up with me. I looked around the emergency unit but can't find her. There's a possibility I'm not seeing all of it but I'm too shaken to be still. I was still checking when a nurse approached me “I'm sorry, can I...... “I'm looking for Miracle Adebayo I cut her off. She was rushed in, and she's pregnant and... I felt the tears welling up in my eyes. Can I see her? Is she okay? “You need to calm down, she gave a sad reassuring smile. She's in surgery and we don't know anything yet. So if you'd, just take a deep breath, I'm sure she'll like that okay?. I suggest you wait in the waiting area she gestured I nodded and let Evans guide to to the waiting area. We sat and I couldn't seem to stop the incessant tapping of my leg on the floor. Even if Evans minded, he didn't stop me and I was glad because I was seconds away from total breakdown Seconds turn to minutes, and minutes to hours and we've been waiting for five hours. And it kept dragging on while I just grew more and more tensed. Evans was trying as much to keep me at bay cause I didn't mind marching into that operating room if it was just me Stephanie came in afterwards and when she saw my features knew better than to ask me any questions. “Any news? She turned to him, while he shook his head “We're still waiting, he replied and she sat close to me rubbing her hand on my back comfortingly, no words spoken and I smiled a little in appreciation. A doctor walked out an hour later and I practically sprinted towards him while the others followed behind. “How's she? How's Miracle? Is she okay? I didn't even give room for answers, I kept bombarding him with questions “Miss, just calm down, he reassured but I couldn't stay still cause he wasn't smiling, which means no good news. “The surgery was successful but she lost a lot of blood he went on and I gulped in fear “So? I questioned, hoping for a good news in the end “She took a big hit, and had a severe haemorrhage due to the baby. The good news is she's gonna be okay if she wakes up, But...he trailed and looked worriedly at me “But what? I breathed out in a shaken manner, already messed up from his explanations but trying so hard to be strong “We lost the baby. I'm so sorry, the baby was still immature and still in the very early stages and couldn't survive the impact he went on but a whimper escaped my lips and my lips twitched indicating a sob coming along “Can we see her? I put on a good front trying to hide the pain “Yea, sure. He led us to her and I saw my best friend lying motionless being connected to machines. “She's still out from the anesthetic from surgery, so she is going to be unresponsive, he spoke, and I turned and nodded as he left. My eyes got blurry from the sight as I took it in again, a stray tear rolled down my cheek and I wiped immediately Mimi's eye brow furrowed later on as her eyes fluttered open. She winced from pain holding her head in her free hand that isn't connected to a machine “What happened? She raised her head up and tried sitting up but winced more “You need to take it easy, I pushed her gently back back down “My head hurts, she whined still holding her head and a little piece of my heart broke all over again as I remembered the doctor said she might have a concussion since she hit her head pretty bad “Mimi? I called out to her “Yes? She replied her brows furrowing “what's my name? “Lizzy, what's happening? What about theirs? I pointed to Evans who was holding my shoulders and keeping me in place and Stephanie who wasn't too far away from us “Evans and stephanie, she deadpanned worry lines visible on her face. “What's going on? “You got hit by a car Mimi? I frowned a little trying to hide the tears forming in my eyes Mimi: I did? Me: Yea, do you remember anything? Mimi: not really, I remember getting a text from Henry to come meet in out front, which was unusual because he always comes inside. I got out and searched around but couldn't find him and then there was a car....and...and She winced in pain trying to recall and she held her head Me: it's okay, you're fine now Mimi: I got into an accident (frowning, then her eyes widened) how's the baby? (She touched her stomach) is it fine?.... Henry.....she trailed looking over us She smiled and we turned to see Henry, with an unreadable face but it faltered and he smiled a little and went to hold her hand Henry: hey, how are you feeling? Mimi: been better (smiling) how's the baby? Is it fine? His face contoured to a sad one and I turned away from the scene burying my head in Evans's chest while he wrapped his hands around me Henry: I'm so sorry sweetheart Mimi: what? Henry: you lost it. I'm so sorry baby I turned back to them and saw that he was trying so hard to fight the tears but she sniffled and I heard whimpering and she broke down in his hands while he stroked her head continuously fighting back his own tears I left Evans's hands and ran out the hospital hallway. I stopped when I was out enough and glad no one came after me. I slumped down, my entire body vibrating with each sob. My phone buzzed in my pocket. With blurry eyes I checked the caller id and it was unknown. I swiped and pressed the phone to my hear “Hello Lizzy, a female voice came up but I was to tired to decipher whose “Who's this, I tiredly let out “Funny you should ask, I could feel her smirk from the other end. How's your friend? Sorry that had to happen to her but I told you I was gonna make your life miserable. Since I couldn't with you, I decided on those closest to you. And if you still don't wanna pay heed to my warnings, she laughed menancingly. I hate to say it but, that isn't gonna be the end and she hung up The phone fell off my now shaking hands and unto the ground as my throat went dry. the tears burning in me eyes. “It's all my fault” I muttered...... 3 Likes |
