Previously on THE BETRAYAL: Episode 22 Untold Discussion
....“let's just forget about it, it's all in the past” I replied calmly, “thank God you know, anyway where are you?” he asked,
“I travelled home but I will be back tomorrow” I replied, “My God! See your way now, you just travelled without informing me?” he accused bitterly, “I'm sorry, though you caused it” I muttered quietly.
I returned the next day, with a heavy pocket, and lots of foodstuffs which gladdened my heart and made me very happy, “GOD bless you mummy” I sang to myself. 2pm after I had kept all my foodstuffs in their locations, I freshened up and headed to Benjamin's room, dressed in my black sleeveless top and a bum short, which really brought out my real shape. I was all out for seduction even though I had no intention of having sex with him.
With a bowl of oranges, guava and English pear on my left hand, I knocked on his door, which opened seconds later, “oh goodness me!” he exclaimed immediately his eyes fell on me. I smiled seductively and cat-walked into his room, “did you miss me?” I asked with a smile, “of course I missed you” he replied instantly as he stared at me with open mouth, like a dog watching his master eat.
I sat on a plastic chair, beside his reading table and crossed my legs, while his eyes glittered hungrily as it fell on my laps, “here are the fruits I brought for you, hope you know how to peel oranges?” I asked with a smile, as I stood up seconds later, “no I don't know how to peel them” he replied jokingly, drew close and held my waist, which really sent a direct signal to my bosoms. “I will peel them for you later in the evening, I want to go and prepare soup with the ingredients my mum gave me, before they get spoilt” I explained, while he breathed deeply, “okay then lets go together” he said with a smile, “no don't bother I'm expecting a friend” I replied. He bit his lips and stared at me suspiciously, but luckily for him, he didn't ask any stupid question which could have brought another problem between us?.. “okay then I guess I'll have to wait here for the soup” he said with a forced smile, “I never said I was bringing any for you” I joked, touched his jaw and left without another word??
I really do love to cook, and it really is one of the qualities I inherited from my mum, who never gets tired of cooking even when her children is around. I was soon done with the soup minutes later, and as I was about bringing it down from my stove, I heard gentle knocks on my door...“hey dear, hope I came at the right time?” Lynda asked sweetly, when I opened my door a minute later, “yea dear, infact you came at the right time, I just finished cooking a pot of soup” I replied politely, “hmmm really!, I thought you just returned?” she asked, while I just smiled and shrugged,
“kpom kpom kpommm kpom kpom kpom kpom!” Darlington's pattern of knocking soon sounded on my door, moments later as we were about settling down for discussion, “who could be knocking this way?” I heard Lynda ask, “I think it's Darlington” I answered with a smile as I watched her face, while she instantly gasped in fear? “please I don't want him to know that I'm here” Lynda held my left hand and pleaded with frightened eyes, while I looked at her in surprise as I equally searched her face, “I will explain later but please don't let him come into your room” she added fearly, “don't worry dear, I won't” I assured her with a smile?
I finally opened my door half- way with a fast beating heart, and blocked the entrance with my body as I stared at Darlington, who just smiled sweetly at me like an innocent child, “hey dear how you dey?” he asked, “I'm fine and busy with my assignments” I replied, “can I come in? I promise not to disturb you, I'm very bored and lonely in my room” he asked with a smile, while I shook my head, “please come some other time, I really want to be alone” I answered with a serious look. He smiled, shrugged and gave me a cold look which really frightened me, “okay I will come later in the evening” he said before walking away, while I breathed deeply,
“what is wrong with this boy?” I asked myself?
“has he gone?” Lynda inquired curiously as soon as I locked my door, while I smiled and advanced towards her, “yea dear he has gone back to where he came from” I replied with a smile, while She breathed deeply, “thank God” I heard her mutter?
“so dear I'm very eager to hear what you came to discuss with me” I said curiously as I sat beside her, but she just looked away as if she wasn't sure of herself any more. “I have the feeling Darlington knows I'm here” I heard her mutter with a lost voice. I drew closer and rested my right hand on her left shoulder, “what is really going on and why are you so scared of him?” I asked, “I don't think it's important anymore I have to get going” she said and stood up suddenly, while I held her left hand strongly, and pleaded with her...
