Previously on THE BETRAYAL: Episode 18 Underworld Man
...we woke up very late the following morning, and it was a steady knock on my door which really woke us, and I really was forced to open my door, when the person knocking refused to give up, It was precisely 7:05AM when I opened my door that fateful morning, to see Darlington standing on my door-way, with hands in his pocket, and a fixed smile on his face.
I blocked my slightly opened door with my body, which prevented him from walking into my room, just like he did the previous day.
However he never showed any surprise, but instead continued to smile sweetly.
“how was your night, I came as soon as I woke up, because I want your face to be the first thing I will see this morning” he said, while I smiled, “thanks I'm very fine, but you also woke me from sleep” I complained as I rubbed my eyes. “I'm so sorry dear, will you be going out today?”
he asked, “yea I will and why do you ask?” I replied, “I just want to spend some time with you” he explained, while I struggled, “well that will be another day” I answered.
Instead of leaving, he still stood and watched me, while I returned his gaze without knowing what else to say to him,
“you are really so beautiful dear, and I will do anything just to win your heart” he said sweetly and fluently, while I smiled, and fluently, while I smiled, “thanks sha, but you need not bother because you won't succeed, moreover I already have a guy” I replied calmly, which made him to smile,
“you mean him?” he asked, as he pointed towards Benjamin's room. “please I'm yet to brush nor clean up, lets talk later” I heard myself say to him, but just that
moment Amara appeared from nowhere and stood beside him, with a smile, “baby good morning, i'm so sorry I was unable to show up yesterday, abeg shift make I enter nah” she said playfully, while my legs shocked, as my heart leaped, because Benjamin was in my room, probably still in my bed, a situation I really didn't want her to witness, because I really haven't told
her much about Benjamin, and she might
misinterpret the whole thing. “baby give way nah, make I enter” she said again,
while I hesitantly opened my door a little wider, in order for her to enter, Darlington thanks for checking up on me, we will
continue our discussion some other time” I said to Darlington with a sweet smile, as I closed my door.
With a fast beating heart, I turned and faced my room, but surprisingly I saw Benjamin seated at the edge of my bed, well composed and engrossed in his mobile phone which he was playing with. I breathed deeply. Yet Amara still smiled and eyed me suspiciously, as she turned to face me again. “we will chat later since your friend is already here” I heard Ben say nervously, as he stood up and left, while I smiled as I locked my door before facing Amara again, who still continued to look at me suspiciously. “I just noticed many things” she said to me with a smile,
“things like what? I asked, but she just struggled “dear friend, hope you are not planning to keep this away from me??” she asked with a little laugh “Hope you are not planning to deny that you just
slept with Benjamin?” she seriously asked me, while I gasped. “no I didn't ooo” I seriously replied as I fell on my bed, and clutched my teddy bear with a smile, “sharrap you liar” I heard Amara say with a smile, “didn't Benjamin sleep here last night?” she asked seriously, as if she already was aware he did, while I wondered whether she really knew, or was just trying to play with my intelligence.
I breathed deeply and stared at her, “yes he did, but there was no sex ooo” I replied,
while her face lit up momentarily with bright eyes, which soon died away as she stared at me again in surprise, “huh what did you just say?? Do you mean you
two didn't??” she asked, while I seriously nodded to her, “yea we didn't do anything, he is a complete gentleman” I said with a smile. “abeg go jare, you wan tell me, you didn't wet your pant as you dey wait for him to do something?” she asked with a naughty smile, “comot there, you chukuchuku girl, you too like bad thing, do you think everybody behaves like
you, thank God you no be man tufiakwa! things for happen well for your head” I said to her, while she laughed out loud? “I was on my way coming, when I saw you both sneaking into your room last night so I just turned and returned to my room, but I came here this early, in order to confirm whether he actually slept here” she explained, “infact you are jobless” I said to her with a smile? “so what's up with you and Darlington?” she enquired, while I shruggled, “I don't know what is wrong with that boy, he just started showing interest in me” I replied with a yawn,
please be careful with that wolf ooo, don't mind his innocent face, he is very dangerous” she advised me.
We chatted all through that morning happily, and we really had a great time, because Amara never lacks topics and so we ate together, gisted and joked till noon, when she left for her room
