Previously on THE BETRAYAL: Episode 74 Could He be the one?
.......“I do enjoy every moment I spend with you girls. How will tomorrow be like?” Chike asked as we prepared to leave the food joint. I smiled and stared at Amara who laughed and shrugged. “Me too, who doesn't like free things” she joked. “You are crazy” I laughed.
Chike really presented himself as a nice guy. He truly was a likeable guy, but I still had some reservations about him. I knew for a fact that guys could do anything to get under a lady's skirt, moreover he wasn't based in the country {Nigeria} and could be living a double life.
“Knowing if a guy truly has genuine affection for you” is seriously one of the hardest challenges we girls do face. No amount of ebooks nor guides can solve the mystery behind play boys, their charms and tricks.
They always say the nicest things, do the best deeds, and are the most romantic, {but deep down their hearts are as black as charcoal}.
I really saw no flaws in Chike. His behaviour so far was perfect, his manners splendid, his words charming and his looks breathtaking.
Amara's overwhelming support and approval of him also had great effect on my judgement. I was slowly growing fond of him, something I really couldn't stop. Perhaps it was due to the bond he created so fast with me, using my friend as a link and due to sense of belonging I felt around him coupled with the problems I was having with Mike.
All these not withstanding, it really would be unladylike to fall so easily for him.
Yea I liked him a great deal, but my heart was still with Mike, even though I had gotten back a large chunk of it from him.
Most of us fall the victim of jumping from one guy to another, getting used, dumped and spat on, as we search for the one true love.
Sometimes I find it hard to believe if there is ever something like one true love. Nothing is perfect, likewise love, and I think the best approach is to manage the one we already have.
It could grow or it could die. It all depends on destiny. I truly would have gladly sacrified everything for Mike, if not for the little girl that stood between us. Stella of course was a bad schemer, but she wouldn't have totally spoilt my mind if not for her little daughter she used as a shield.
I knew Mike truly wasn't happy with her, but I also couldn't swear for him either. He might loath her in the day, but at night could still have relations with her. It is in guys nature to put behind their shame and commitments when horny.
“Do you like the novels?” Chike asked as he drove us back to our lodge. I nodded and smiled, glancing through them. “Of course I can't wait to read them” I replied happily. He smiled and drove on quietly, until we got to our lodge.
“I will check up on you girls again tomorrow. Do take care” he smiled to us as we alighted from his car. We polietly stood and watched him reverse his car and zoom off. “Isn't Mike's car I see coming?”
Amara asked seconds later. I looked up and nodded. “I detest that obnoxious boy. It's time you totally break up with him before it gets too late” she said seriously. I breathed deeply and stood my ground.
Mike gently parked his car, alighted and came towards us. The first place his eyes fell were on the “take away” bags we held........
