If only our parents, older friends and tutors had told us about life challenges without reserving them,it would have saved us the stress of living in fantasy. Life became unbearable during the first three months after college,maybe I was the only one facing these difficulties not others. I had a lot of struggles, my emotions went brew, I could barely understand things properly the way I should. Of course I had to deal with it .
I sent countless emails and SMS to my best friend,Gina,asking her to hear me out and forgive me if possible. I became afraid that she had addressed the issue with Aunt Sophia,the idea of Sophia using her money and influence to punish me got me scared.But then, why would she punish me when I clearly didn't date Sam with the knowledge that he is already engaged.
On one occasion, I had to visit Gina's house to ensure she'd received all my texts. The house was quite large,I had never been there,the security guards wouldn't let me in,I had to explain myself trying hard to convince them.
Fortunately, one of them volunteered to call Gina's attention,but She hesitated because she wasn't expecting anyone. Finally, Gina accepted to go with him . She couldn't say no to me, at least not in front of these people. After she allowed me in,she walked faster than me, tracing her steps back to her room. She obviously didn't want to hear me say anything.She banged her room door at my face,I had to pause to avoid getting hit by the door. Just a few seconds after, I forced the door open in order to get her attention.
"Gina please let us get over with this mess. I can't continue like this." I said
"Yes I know I was wrong by not telling you, at least it would have saved me the stress of dating your aunts fiancée,I did not know he was already engaged. He never mentioned Sophia to me. Besides, I was controlled by my emotions.I fell in love ,Gina.I don't wanna loose our friendship." I continued hurriedly.
I started narrating how I met Sam and how I was so curled up with his fanatics. "It was a grievous mistake.I'm gonna do anything to get you back." I kept saying"
"I know I shouldn't have gone to bed with him , but I couldn't control my feelings ,we both wanted it"
I stepped forward towards Gina's bed,where she sat quietly looking at disappointment.
"It..it.. It was a wonderful experience." I began sniffling, trying hard to hold back what was coming in form of tears.
As I was explaining everything that had happened with Sam,all I could remember was Sam pressing his hard body against mine,his hands slowly caressing my entire body. Fixing his gaze at me, kissing me passionately and finally thrusting his hard tool in and out my body.At first,i felt a sharp pain, he knew I would feel that way.He kept whispering sweet words into my ears so I could divert my attention from what was gonna happen.I groaned at the first thrust, shortly afterwards I started moaning in pleasure.He made love to me.We made love.
"Please forgive me" I said amidst heavy tears. The thought of Sam not being who I thought he was,was hurting me.At this point,Gina couldn't help but cry too. She forgave me. We hugged.
"Have you met with Sam after our graduation?" Gina asked
"No, I haven't" I blurted.
"Aunt Sophia and Sam broke up two months ago".Gina said.
"They called off their wedding preparations.My mum hasn't been in a fine fettle since the incident occurred. She has been trying to talk Aunt Sophia to hear Sam out. She hates to hear her niece broken,eminently because of a man.
"What really happened?What caused it? Was it because of me? I asked all at once.
"Relax best, there is more to their splitting than you think.Sophia had began suspecting that Sam wasn't faithful, that he was somehow flirting and keeping women outside. She hired a private investigator from a renowned firm to look into the case".
Gina heaved a sigh of relief…
She then continued…
Luckily for her but unluckily for Sam, he was caught on different occasions at various locations with the same lady by the name, Nancy.
I lowered my head, my face unveiled bitterness. I was able to admit that Sam had a fiancée but not this one.Who's Nancy? I thought in my head.
Then the thought of Sophia not having caught me with Sam made my stomach grumble.At least for a moment, I knew Gina was truly a good friend,one I could rely on. She had bluntly explained everything to Aunt Sophia while we weren't talking and she calmly understood it wasn't my fault. Sam had used me . He flirted with me. He made me believe every lie he told."Why didn't your Aunty look for me after you informed her about Sam and I" I asked."She is not as wild as she seem,after her terrible experience with Sam she could believe worse about him."
We made up and our friendship grew stronger each waking day than it was.
Later that day, Gina Asked that I should assist her in the kitchen to make early dinner for ever. It was an awesome experience, as we both chatted through out the entire process.
We both served everyone dinner at the balcony. The weather was a bit breezy and cool, leaving a soothing atmosphere for everyone to dive into their plates. The sweet savor from the flower plants just at the edge of the glass balustrade adjacent to where we were having dinner.
During dinner, Gina's parents were so engrossed in their conversation, leaving Gina and I to continue chatting over our few months experience after high school.
Afterwards, Gina and I cleared the table and washed the dishes.
Every little detail of this day made sense as I wished the day would not end so soon.
