Mirabel: One more word from you and I
promise you’re not gonna like the outcome of it. Frank!
Frank: (from outside) Yes?
Mirabel: Come get this ingrate out from
here!
Frank walked in with Jummy and two mobile
policemen; they wanted to drag him out, but he behaved himself and told them
not to touch him that he’ll leave and he left.
Mirabel: (to me and Nancy that’s with her)
it is done guys! Where is Promise?
Nancy: she’s inside, lemme go call her
**ran off**
Me: Thanks for not listening to what he
said
Mirabel: That’s nonsense, why would he be
after the girl that’s cheating on him? And besides, I trust Promise can’t do
such thing **walking inside**
Me: **confused** wh… what?
Mirabel: What? **turning around**
Me: What do you mean by you trust Promise
can’t do such a thing? What about me?
Mirabel: What about you?
Me: Are you kidding?
Mirabel: **laughs** I trust Promise 100%
and I trust you over 100% darling… so if I say I trust Promise, you should know
your where you stand, and please it’s enough, let’s not talk about what doesn’t
make any sense
Me: **relaxed** Yeah… that’s my fiancée
Mirabel: You said Promise refused to listen
when you told her to break-up with Fred, hope she hasn’t fallen in stupid love
with him?
Me: Which love? She later came back to her
senses and broke up with him the moment he came here, that’s why he’s been
talking rubbish
Mirabel: Oh…
Me: What?
Mirabel: I thought I was the one that took
care of him not knowing that she already broke up with him
Me: Hey sweetheart, you did something great
here, you finalized everything because if not for what you just did, i’m sure
he won’t stop coming for her.
Mirabel: Yea… I had to warn him to clear
off so Promise won’t go through what we both went through in the hands of
Marcus and Dorothy
Me: That’s right
Mirabel: Where are they na?
Me: Maybe we should go in there
Mirabel: Yea let’s go **walking inside**
Me: Sweetheart…
Mirabel: **turns around** Yea?
Me: You know we haven’t seen each other for
a while
Mirabel: Yea, I know… (walking back to me)
so sorry my love, I was just so focused on fixing Promise’ predicament
<She gave me a tight hug>
Mirabel: Missed you so much
Me: I missed you more
Nancy: **coughs** Promise is here o…
Mirabel: **breaking off from the hug**
Promise…
She went to her and they hugged each other
for some seconds…
Mirabel: How are you holding up?
Promise: I’m fine
Mirabel: Sure?
Promise: Sure **smiling**
Mirabel: Good then, I was so worried about
you. Sorry for hooking you up with that p-----t, now we’ll understand and
respect your decisions
Promise: It’s okay… I understand you guys
were worried about me and you all care for my happiness, of which I appreciate
Me: Boring…. **teasingly**
They all laughed
Me: Nancy, where the food na?
Nancy: I thought we’re discussing something
important?
Me: Discussing what? Go bring food abeg
Nancy: Nawa o…
She went into the kitchen, Mirabel joined
and they came with the food and we ate peacefully but Promise refused to eat,
that she’ll eat the remnant beans later.
Me: Nancy, you should update Vincent
Nancy: I’ve already done that but not in
details though, I’ll tell him everything when we meet tomorrow
Me: Of course, that’s what you do best
Later that night when we all bade ourselves
goodnight and went to our bedrooms, Mirabel and I discussed on many things
before she slept off while I was working in my website. It was around 11.pm
when a text message came from Promise and it read “Thanks for always been there
for me, no one can beat the spot you have in my heart”
I smiled and replied her “I know that
*winkz*”
I took it as a friendship thing and nothing
else, and I’m sure that’s the same way she also took it as.
Then we started chatting like-play
like-play through SMS where each message costs ₦4.00
Promise: Why can’t you just say thank you
instead of that reply? It’s embarrassing na
Me: Embarrassing for what? Or don’t you
also know your spot in my heart? *winkz*
Promise: Whatever!
**Minutes later**
Me: Why are you still up?
Promise: Can’t sleep, trying to watch tv
but it’s not helping, what about you?
Me: Surfing the web… you’re in the living
room?
Promise: Yea
Me: Ok I’m coming
Promise: What about Mirabel?
Me: Sleeping
Promise: Ok
I put on a shirt and went to the sitting
room. I sat with her while we talked, teased each other and laughed out till
she felt sleepy. We bade each other goodnight for the second time that night
then I walked back to room. I opened the door and met Mirabel who seemed to be
going out. She stopped when she saw me and then stretches her hand towards me
handing my phone over to me.
The look on her face when she was handing
over the phone to me was so unusual; i collected the phone from her thinking I
got a night call or something.
Me: What’s up dear?
Mirabel: Victor where have you been?
Me: What’s wrong that you even called me by
my name?
Mirabel: I’ve been up for some minutes and
I didn’t see you here or in the toilet. Then a message popped into your phone
from Promise telling you to try and sleep immediately you get into the room, I
scrolled up out of curiosity and found those chats you both had, what
explanation can you give me Victor? I trusted both of you with all my heart!
Me: Honey what are you saying? That’s
nothing I promise
Mirabel: Nothing?
Me: Come on dear, you have to calm down,
what is the thing you saw that’s making you to react this way? It was just a
harmless friendly chat
Mirabel: Stop making a fool out of me, what
did she mean by nobody can beat the spot you have in her heart? And you also
confessed that she also have a spot in your heart, what kind of spot is that?
You went to meet up with her because I was sleeping. Victor why did you do this
to me? Why? I gave you my everything
Me: Mirabel you have to calm down and allow
me to talk
Mirabel: Of course I’ll let you talk, go on
and give me another definition of the chats and the meeting you both had
Me: Please sit down
Mirabel: I’m fine standing
Me: Mirabel you have to sit down so we can
talk and reach an understanding, this is not how a couple can settle their
misunderstanding
Mirabel: **sits down**
Me: (I sat down on the bed too) you have to
trust me; I cannot do anything like that. She was only thanking me as a friend
and how I’ve been there for her, that no one can replace me in doing all that.
Sweetheart please don’t misinterpret it. You know too well that I can’t do
something like that and neither can Promise do such thing
Mirabel: Yes I trust you both, but that
chat is like that of those having an affair
Me: It’s nothing dear
Mirabel: Like when you said you’re coming
and she asked what about me and you told her that I’m sleeping before you went
to meet up with her… what did you even go to her for by this of the night when
everyone is sleeping?
Me: She couldn’t sleep just as you see in
the message, and I thought it was about Fred, so I went to her in the living
room to cheer her up.
Mirabel: It’s just too suspicious Ok?
Please I don’t like something like this. I have to say your closeness with her
should be redefined so I won’t be suspecting anything please… I have never been
suspicious of you for anything; I always believe whatever you say until I saw
those disturbing messages that got me so worried
Me: You have nothing to worry about dear
Mirabel: No let’s make some things clear,
I’m here to be your friend and companion and everything you need, so please…
your friendship can continue but not this close anymore
Me: Alright, no problem
Mirabel: I will let this go, but I’m
begging you now, don’t cheat on me and never give me any reason to doubt you
Me: Ok my princess
Mirabel: I am very serious
Me: Relax na, it’s me oh… (Going for my
magic move)
Mirabel: You that got me very worried this
night abi morning
I threw my phone on bed and drew her closer
to me by holding waist
Me: Sorry for the misconception… I hope I
didn’t lose any percentage of your trust for me?
Mirabel: You lost 80% of it
Me: Ah!
Mirabel: Kidding buh you almost lost it
Me: That’s never going to happen; I rather
gain more of your trust than lose a single percentage of it
Mirabel: Okay… now can you let go of my
waist so I can sleep?
Me: If not until you smile, I won’t
Mirabel: **She let out a fake smile** Can I
go now?
Me: Okay…
I let go of her, then she climb the bed
facing the other side. I knew we were not all cool yet, so I thought of doing
something about it. I joined her on the bed and placed my hand around her waist
Me: Sweetheart…?
Mirabel: What now?
Me: I can see you’re still mad at me, I
will just tell you what I wanted to tell you later in the day **withdrawing
myself from her**
Mirabel: What is it?
Me: Don’t worry… I’ll just tell you later
Mirabel: No I want to hear it now
Me: Ok, if you really want to hear it, come
rest your head on my shoulder
Mirabel: **Hesitating**
Me: Come na… it’s about our wedding oh…
When she hear that one, nobody told her
before she brought herself closer to me.
Mirabel: Ok what is it?
Me: Uhmmmm… I think we should start taking
our pre-wedding pictures from now
Mirabel: What for?
Me: You don’t like it?
Mirabel: No, we don’t need it
Me: Why?
Mirabel: It’s just not needed, what are we
going to do with it? To post on social media and all, I don’t like it
Me: I thought it’d be fun
Mirabel: You know what?
Me: What?
Mirabel: Instead of this pre-wedding thing,
let’s just have all the fun together without the world knowing about it until
the day we’ll get married
Me: Okay…
Mirabel: And stop holding my waist anyhow
anytime you want, because it’s not yours yet.
Me: **Laughs** No problem, I’d be the proud
owner come next month
Mirabel: Until then, you’re strictly
restricted
Me: It’s okay… I’ve heard you, we need to
sleep now
I took my pillow and positioned myself on
the floor to sleep
Mirabel: What are you doing?
Me: Well… so you won’t rest on my chest
later while I’m asleep, as it’s not yet yours to lay on whenever you feel like
Mirabel: Oh really?
Me: Goodnight, love you…
Mirabel: Goodnight!
**BLACK-OUT**
I woke up the following morning and saw
Mirabel resting comfortably on my chest while on the floor; I just smiled and
placed my hand around her waist.
Later that morning when Nancy has gone to
school, and Promise to her computer institute leaving Mirabel and I in the
house while Frank and Jummy were also around.
Mirabel was in the kitchen preparing lunch
while I was in the room working in my website with hollandia yoghurt by my
side, sipping it little by little until Mirabel suddenly stormed into the room
looking infuriated.
Mirabel: Victor what’s the meaning of this
rubbish?!
Me: **Surprised and bemused** what is it?
Mirabel: I saw this diary somewhere in the
kitchen which is supposed to be for Promise; take and look what I found inside…
