It was a special kind of night for Ella. The kind that wants only to hold the stars and moon, and help them to shine brighter.
Ella alighted from the taxi with smiles on her face. She had wanted to pay Jakes a surprise visit, to spend some quality time and moments with him.
Many of their times together have been spent on outings.
"I will give him a huge surprise" she thought to herself. "We will have the most beautiful and romantic night ever together".Little did she know that she would be the one to be surprised by her fiance.
As she went up the stairs towards Jake's house, all manner of lovely and sweet moments with Jakes, flooded her tender heart as she made her way to the door.
Sadly, she met the shock of her life as she pushed open the entrance door. Jakes and Juli were having a hot romantic sex right on the white sofa of the living room. She never,in her wildest imagination expected such, not even with her childhood best friend.
What! She exclaimed. Standing there motionless, her eyes suddenly became bulgy, her heart started racing uncontrollably, causing the sweat gland to open up suddenly producing heat. In a few moments, Ella was drenched from her sweat.
W-what in heaven's name is going on here?" shouted Ella!
Jakes quickly pulled up from Juli, then pulled his pants up with sweat dripping from his face.
"B-Babe.. it's not what you think" stuttered Jakes, while staring at Ella.
"I can explain everything" Jakes continued..
Juli was just speechless because she had always had an eye for Jakes. She had always been jealous of Ella, because of all the love stories she had been telling her about her and Jakes.
"Explain what exactly" asked Ella.
Tears already streaming down her cheeks, her heart pounding heavily.
She balled her fists in anger and the thought of doing something very nasty ran through her head.
Jakes pretends to be remorseful and tries to approach Ella.
"Don't you dare come close to me" Ella yelled at him. You are such a scum Jakes. I should have known about it. I was warned by my Mum , but I was blindly in love with you" what did I ever do to you to deserve this harsh treatment?
Tears trickled down her eyes uncontrollably.
"Juli! I trusted you. We grew up together as childhood friends. I told you all of my love affairs with Jakes because you are my bestie, but you turned around to betray me! Why??" Ella ran to Juli in fiery, locked her neck, trying to choke and devour her like an angry and wounded lion ready to devour its prey.
Juli started gasping for air as she waved her hands like someone who's drowning in a river.
"Stop it" Jakes ran towards them to stop Ella from choking Juli to death. She was shattered and heartbroken.
"You know what?" You both can go ahead and get married" Ella said with tears in her eyes.
"Don't you ever look for me. I am done with you Jakes".
She pulled out the engagement ring from her 4th finger, angrily threw it at Jakes then hurriedly ran out. She descended the stairs without considering safety.
Before he could grab his trousers to chase after Ella, she had already stopped a taxi.
"Ella please hear me out" please…screamed Jakes, as he ran towards the car.
Zooooom… the car sped off.
