We both started laughing. Aunt Anna couldn't just mind her business. Adel and I were becoming good buddies. I checked again Phill's post and many people commented.
I was hurt by one comment and it made me drop my phone. Adel picked up the phone.
"What is the matter? look! You almost broke your phone." She checked the phone and saw the comment.
'You all keep an eye on your boyfriends and husbands, there is a witch in town. She stole Phill from me and now she is after everyone. She has no shame, all she cares about is money and men's wealth.'
"Wait, what the hell!!! The person who wrote this comment is Veronica. Do you know her?" Adel asked while holding me. She felt sorry for me.
She clicked her tongue, "It's people who engage in inappropriate behaviour who do such things. I'm pretty sure that she couldn't bare to see you with Phill and she is jealous of you."
I held Adele's hands, "It's okay, don't worry about me. I will be fine. I know she is jealous of me and despised the fact that Phill left her because of her bad behaviour, but she still claims that he is her boyfriend. "
"Alright then, if you say so. Now stop reading these ridiculous comments and focus on yourself. Consider yourself lucky to have a good man like Phill. I know he loves you very much since he chose you over everyone." She exited Instagram and locked my phone and plop it away.
I felt lucky to have a younger smart cousin. I hugged her "I won't let these stupid comments affect me, I promise you that I will be the strongest woman ever." We both laughed it up.
"I'm now going out with my friends, I told my aunt already that she has to look after herself today because I'm going out." Adel grabbed her handbag and left the house.
I was still thinking about what Veronica said in those comments. I had never been humiliated before the way she did to me today. She ruined my reputation and I won't let that happen again.
I heard someone knocking on my window. I rushed to put on a shirt since I undressed when I came home to rest but it didn't happen because of Veronica's comment.
I opened the window to check who was knocking and I saw Daniel with flowers and a bottle of champagne. He was looking cute in his crewneck sweater and dark wash jean. I wonder what was he doing on my window.
"Daniel, what are you doing here? OMG! Did anyone see you coming here?" I asked while looking around but Daniel didn't care about what I asked, instead he asked.
"Why, are you scared of someone?"
"No, it's just inappropriate, why didn't you use the door, Daniel?"
"So, you want your aunt to find out that I brought you flowers and wine right? Okay, let me go use the door." He turned to go and use the door, but before he could leave, I stooped him.
"Hey... Don't get me wrong. I just asked and I was joking about using the door. Let me hold this for you." I stretch my arm to reach for the flowers but he stopped me.
"Wait, this is yours." He handed the flower. He added, " I can handle the bottle myself, just hold the window up so I can pass, or do you want people to see me sneaking into your room through the window?"
I placed the flowers on the table that was close to the window and held the window with all my hands, for him to get inside.
"I don't want people to see you sneaking into my room through the window, otherwise the whole town will know that Doctor Daniel sneaks into his neighbour's room through the window and you will be the talk of the town." I laughed at his face. He looked guilty.
"End of the window story, it might come true and I don't want that to happen." He walked towards my bed and seat.
"I'm afraid you should start using the door Mr." We both laughed. I picked up the flowers and sniffed them. It was the Rose and Lily Bouquet and it smelled awesome. "Thank you for the beautiful flowers, I love them."
"I know what my best friend adores the most." He smiled.
"Anyway, what are you doing here?" I asked him but he looked like my question offended him. I didn't want to ask but I needed to discern if he perhaps saw Phill's post and the comments.
"Nothing really, I just wanted to check on my friend, or you don't want me here?"
"Come on, you are the only friend I have here, I'm glad you came. I was getting bored." I reached his head and rubbed his hair, ruining his hairstyle.
"Look what you did to my new hairstyle, now I look like a ghost." He tried to fix them with his hand.
I went to the kitchen to get the wine glasses and check on aunt Anna but she was sleeping. When I got into my room, Daniel was looking at our picture with Valentine. We took it in high school when we were the best couple in school. He was closely inspecting it and when I moved a door he panicked and the picture fell and the break.
"OMG!! I'm so sorry, I broke your picture. I was just..."
Before he could finish his statement, I told him to not worry.
"It's fine, I will clean up those glasses." I handed him the wine glasses and grabbed the broom to clean up the mess.
"I'm so sorry Mia, I'm sure that picture means a lot to you and I just broke it. I should have been more careful when I hold it." He felt sorry.
"It's okay Daniel, I'm the one who scared you. Anyway, it's fine. Forget about the picture. Let's have our Champion." I poured some into his glass.
"Cheers to our friendship"... I held my glass towards his.
"Cheers!"
We chatted and laughed. I loved Daniel because he was friendly and caring. Ever since I met him, I felt safe with him. I finished my glass and Veronica popped into my mind. I started thinking about myself, and how will people react to his commitment. I badly wanted to check how people reacted to her comment but I decided not to stress. I needed to enjoy the day with Daniel.
"What are you thinking about? Are you alright? If you are not okay with me around, I can leave. All I care about is your happiness. I don't want to do something that you don't like." Daniel asked when he noticed that I was worried about something.
"You can tell me everything." Are you okay?
"Yeah Yeah!! I'm fine, It's just that I'm worried about aunt Anna." I lied.
"Don't worry she will be fine." He was so concerned about her.
He poured Champagne into my glass. "So, who is the guy in the photo I broke?" He put the bottle away.
"He is my friend, ahh..." I could think of a proper name. "Sem! Sem!" I told him the first random name that comes into my head.
"Sure." He could tell that I was lying. "Where is Sem?"
"He is at Ongwediva, and we schooled at the same school."
I tried my best to end Sam's fake story. I didn't want to tell Daniel that the person in the picture was Valentine, my ex-boyfriend. After drinking, we hugged, I was enjoying the long tight hug and Daniel smelled good. He held my back moving his lips towards mine and before he could kiss me, aunt Anna called out my name. It was an awkward moment.
"I'm gotta go, your aunt is calling you." He let go of my back.
"I will help you with the window."
He smiled and left.
I rushed to the mirror and gazed at myself.
"What was I thinking, he almost kissed me and I have a boyfriend. What if Veronica said was becoming true? No, I'm not that wired person.
I went to aunt Anna's room to check on her. She wanted something to drink so I brought her a cup of just and water.
My phone started ringing and when I checked it, Phill was calling. When I answered the call, he asked if I was feeling well.
"Are you sure that you are not mad about something? He wanted to see if I saw Veronica's comments but I acted like I saw nothing.
"No, I'm fine."
"You want to tell me that you didn't see Veronica's comments?"
"I don't give a damn about them because I know what she said was not true."
"Alright then, get ready I will pick you up in 10 minutes." Before I could say a word, he ended the call. We all know that Phill doesn't take "No" as the answer.
I rushed into the bathroom and before I could finish, I heard someone opens my bedroom door. It was him.
"Who is there?! I shouted.
"It's me, your husband. Please hurry up, we need to go and it's late."
I finished bathing and put on a black dress and wear red lipstick. I looked beautiful. Phill was staring at me.
"I don't need your compliments, I know that I'm looking beautiful. Let's go. Wait, where are we going?"
"We are going to our house, my wife." He pulled me closer and kissed my lips. "You taste delicious today, you beautiful thing."
"Thank you, my love."
We left heading to his house. When we got there, we saw a white car parked outside the house. I asked Phill if he had visitors but he told me that he wasn't expecting anyone.
"I think maybe, it's my friend Eslon. Let's go inside and see who is here." We got out of the car and Phill asked the guard who was in the house.
"She forced me to open the gate and she blackmailed me." The guard was scared.
"She?"... Phill asked.
"Yes boss"
We rushed into the house and we saw Veronica sitting on the couch. She was wearing a see-through dress revealing her underneath. This woman was crazy.
