Morning came but Abigail was still in bed, trying to get more sleep but nothing she did to get back to sleep worked, due to too much thinking. Her body felt weak a sour, as if she just finished having an aggressive but sensational sex, but it was just a dream and nothing more.
It was passed ten in the morning when Abigail finally decided to get off the bed. Immediately she entered the bathroom, all the memories from her dream started coming back to her. She stayed under the shower for a while, wondering how she was going to find out if indeed the one she saw in her dream was who she thought it was.
Just as she was about to get out of the bathroom, her phone started ringing. She harry to answer it and boom! her heart skipped a beat. She stared at the phone and didn't know if she should call it nightmare or not, because it felt like one. Enoch was calling her, but why, she answered the call but stayed silently on the line.
"Hi miss, how are you doing today, hope you dreamed about me? what was I doing?" Enoch asked from the other side of the phone.
" Seriously, what do you think? I didn't even dream okay? And even if I did, it definitely not about you." Abigail said defensively.
" Oh really, from how you are saying it, it's as if you actually dreamt about me but you don't want to say it right. " Enoch said teasingly.
" Whatever, just tell me why you called, can I help you in any way? " Abigail said, trying to change the topic.
" Oh! actually, you are the one who needs help, I called to update you on the case you left behind. You have to come to the headquarters to make a proper complain, before your case can be proceed with." Enoch said.
" Okay I'll just get ready and come then, I have an off day today, so this is my only chance to come. " Abigail replied.
" Alright then, call me when you get to the bus stop, I'll pick you up from there, and please don't say no, I know you are not familiar with the street of the city." Enoch said, commandingly.
" I'll be there then, I need to get ready, bye for now, " Abigail said, not knowing what to say anymore.
<<<<<
I got to the bus stop a bit earlier than Enoch, so I had to wait for him, few minutes after arriving, I saw a gentleman dress in a casual wear, walking to my direction. Just by looking at his physics I knew it was him.
Enoch approached me and without saying anything to me, held my hand and cross the road with me to the other side, like a child. I was a bit upset with his reaction but I also loved the way he was showing off how he cared for me.
He took me into a car parked not far from where I was standing earlier, I noticed the one driving the car was his partner Gideon, which made me wonder why he was driving us and who the car was for, but I obviously couldn't speak out my questions.
It didn't take long for us to get to the police headquarters, and I'll say the journey there wasn't that great since we barely spoke to each other.
The formalities at the police station didn't take long. Everything was over in just an hour, with the men saying they were guilty of their actions. But they refuse to admit to the fact that they were sent by someone, so I didn't get the name of the person who sent them to me.
I stood up to leave when everything was over, not that I was in a hurry. I actually didn't want my uncle to come in there and see me, but then someone blocked my way out.
"You can't leave yet, you have another complain to make, have you forgotten?" He asked and I wasn't surprised to know it was Enoch.
"Which one, I don't remember anything else happening apart from their own, so which one are you talking about." I asked, pretending not to know what he was talking about.
"I know you know which one am talking about, but if you still need a reminder, then it's what we talked about yesterday, but I'll understand if you still don't want to do anything about it. " Enoch said.
I was not really going to do anything about it, not now nor later, I can't afford any family drama and on top of that, letting everyone know I was almost rapped by my own uncle. Because with his position in the police service, he can't escape the media, which will draw attention to me.
But I can't say this to Enoch now, so I just nob my head saying no to him, which thankfully he understood.
"Can I take you out for a drink, maybe sit and talk for a while, to get to know each other? Please don't say no, you told me you have a day off." Enoch said when I made an attempted to get a cab to go back home.
"I.....I..." I stammered, not knowing what to say.
"Don't worry, I won't take much of your time." Enoch said, when he noticed I was finding it difficult to say either yes or no.
"Okay, let go then," I said, since I have no escape now.
We sat in the same car that brought us earlier, and as expected, Gideon was driving it again, but who am I to question.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"You'll see, just wait for a while, we'll be there soon, Enoch reply. At that, he took his phone and typed in something before sending it. Right after he put his phone down on his lap, I heard Gideon's phone ring, telling me Enoch might have sent him a message, telling him where to go.
Few minutes after, the car stopped and we came out of it, I looked around and realized we were at a rooftop restaurant and bar, near the sea and close to the same castle at the sea shore we went to the previous day.
We took a seat at the far corner of the restaurant, where we could see the sea and it surrounding clearly. "Soft drink" I answered immediately I was asked by the waitress what I want to take, thinking Enoch might order something else.
"The same, and please add two bottles of water, I'll like fruit salad if you have any. " I heard Enoch's voice ordering the waitress.
"What about you, won't you take in anything else?" Enoch asked me.
Even though I was really hungry, I could not talk, because I didn't know how I was going to eat in front of him. I had not eating anything since morning and I was sure I'll wrestle with any food that will be giving to me, forgetting he exist.
Hell no, that isn't happening here, I have to go for something I'll relax and enjoy eating. "I like biscuits if they have any, but I think I'll like it more if it's any of Picadely's products." I tried to me honest.
We stayed and spoke for a while, mostly about the work we are both doing, and in a short time, our order was brought to us by the manager herself, which got me thinking as to why.
Silence enveloped our table for a while as I was still thinking, but before I could make out what was happening, Enoch finally asked "Where is he now"
I almost choked on the biscuit in my mouth when I heard him speak. I knew exactly who he was talking about but, I won't tell him just yet.
He offered me one of the bottle water he ordered earlier and a tissue, I galloped down the water immediately, leaving just a little in the bottle.
"Who are you talking about? "I asked, pretending not to know.
" Your fiancee, the one because of whom you almost got raped yesterday, who else? " Enoch said with a questioning faces.
" He's out there, in the capital city, working and partying with friends, I don't know more. " I answered, half truth.
" When is the wedding coming on" Enoch asked.
" Haha, really, wedding? And who said there is going to be a wedding? If there is, then it definitely not with me. " I answered, laughing like am crazy even though I was really hurting.
"Why do you say that? Is he not with you anymore, and if he is, then you are the one he'll be marrying for sure, so why do you doubt that?" Enoch said, with his usual expressionless face.
At this point, I didn't know wether he knew a lot and just want to confirm it or he was just being sincere. I tried to find answers from his face but nothing, infact, there was no expression at all.
"You know, he being my fiancee, is just a title I think he earned for himself, nothing more, so I don't think there's going to be anything like wedding." I answered truthfully.
