Diana arrives home so exhausted that she enters her bed immediately without bathing but while she is in deep slumber, she hears a knock on her door and with her sleepy eyes walks towards the door to open it and she is shocked to encounter a tall man reeking alcohol with disorganized hair all flowing to his face .
Diana: What is it huh?
Alfred: Can I come in?
Diana: For what? Speak from where you are because I am too tired and don't want to be disturbed.( Diana yawns)
Alfred: I need to talk to you about something urgent.
Diana: Is it about the company? is there a problem or something?
Alfred: I want to sit , get out of the way.
Diana: Where have you been ? Why are you smelling alcohol all over you.
Alfred: I went out with some friends that's why and I had the best time of my life .
Diana: And as far as am concerned, I really don't care about what you have gone through as long as you are back home.
Alfred pushes Diana away from the door with all his might and sees himself in the room where he sits on the bed .
Alfred: How is your wound?
Diana: Oh, you still remembered!
Alfred: You haven't showered yet I can tell so let me prepare you some water in the bath tub and help you have your bath.
Diana who is half sleepy and awake is shocked by what her husband is saying.
Diana: No, no I will manage ,I don't need your help but thanks for the concern though.
Alfred: I insist and there is no room for ifs and buts.
Alfred: Don't tell me you are shy to have me wash you up?
Diana: Are you kidding me,BRING IT ON.
Diana starts removing her white suit jacket but is helped by her husband then when she starts trying to unzip her pantsuit,
Alfred: Stop! I can't handle this!
Diana: What is there to deal with it's just you helping me out since am in need.
Alfred: Whether you believe me or not, I hope you don't take this for granted.
Diana: What now?
Alfred: I LOVE YOU DIANA LANDS.
Diana: Nooooo, this is not how I imagined it.
Alfred: What ?
Diana: My love confession, I am actually disappointed in how my life is turning out, I thought I would get a partner to take me for dinner in front of all friends and family walk up to me and profess his feelings but what you have done is just the opposite.
Alfred: I can still do it if you have no problem.
Diana: ENOUGH! I need some space right now .
Diana pushes out Alfred through the door and closes it behind him however much as Diana was pretending to be strong, the abrupt confession give her an unsettling feeling in her stomach in short butterflies in her stomach and she just can't believe what has happened but largely she attributes this to alcohol playing dirty tricks on Alfred's mind.
Alfred after being pushed out by Diana, he sits on the floor and starts dozing off while laying his head on her door and that is when Skylar comes up to him .
Skylar : Hey! wake up!
Alfred: Leave me to breathe PLEASE!
Skylar: I would have left you but your legs are occupying the passage so much as I want to let you enjoy yourself, I really need to get you out of my way.
Alfred: This is my house! I can sleep anywhere so if you can't jump then carry me to my bed.
Skylar: You can't be serious.
Skylar knocks on Diana's door and asks for help to take Alfred to his own room which Diana agrees to give and Alfred is taken to his bed to have some good sleep.
Skylar: Thanks for the help Diana.
Diana: Oh, so you actually noticed something good about me that made you appreciate me for once.
Skylar: Is it that you are not used to appreciation in your life or you are just suffering from rich ladies' arrogance? which of the two.
Diana: I think you have the answer to that question so I advise to not waste my and your time and get your self busy. Thanks.
Skylar: Speak nicely to me Diana because it is me that can mend or break your marriage regardless of whether you have Alfred's heart.
Diana:Do you want to say that you are seeing his heart here with me?
Skylar: Oh please! you know what I mean so stop pretending.
Diana: Say what you want to and then LEAVE ME ALONE.
Skylar: I love Alfred and won't allow anybody to do him any harm so whichever ideas you have , you had better not hurt him .
Diana: Why didn't you marry him since you loved him, and what is this threatening tone you are using?
Skylar: I am just assuring you that am keeping a close eye on what you are doing.
Diana: Everyone's eyes are always on me so this isn't news at all I wish you had said something like my brain is working 24 hours in 7 days maybe I would consider what am doing, but just eyes that can easily be removed, that doesn't scare me at all.
Skylar: We will see when I expose your wicked acts .
Diana: Good night girl, I can't keep up with this kind of conversation.
Skylar: Stop walking away, I am still talking to you ,little missy don't you see.
Diana: You always have issues here and there and might even tell me to move out of my own house soon and I am not going to accept because I am pig headed. period.
Skylar is so hurt by the continuous bullets she is always receivingfrom Diana but she is hopeful everything will come to pass one day and she will be ahead of that proud mistress one day.
Diana enters her room and sleeps over awaiting what is to come after the long day.
