MY WOMAN
My Woman-Episode 14
Text message: “I have lost you; and you have Brenda now. But you will crawl back begging me to come back to you.”
Meanwhile, back at Dave’s apartment… Even though the news of Brenda’s pregnancy news had taken him by surprise, he was very delighted and happy.
He jumped off the bed where he had been lying down and hugged Brenda, who was feeling very relieved. She hadn’t known what to expect. She had in fact dreaded breaking the news to him. Yes, they had a good thing going but they had not exactly discussed the future. She didn’t know whether or not a baby was a welcome development. Seeing him excited now, allayed all her fears. She was at least assured they were both in this together.
Their happy moment was, however, rudely interrupted by a phone call.
It was Amelia again… she was calling Brenda’s phone.
“Its Amelia” Brenda told Dave, wondering to herself how she had gotten hold of her number.
Dave: “What in the world does that girl want from you?! She sent me text message saying some rubbish. Don’t answer it.”
Brenda: “Baby, you know that’s not my thing. Let me listen to what she has to say”
Having said that, she answered the call.
Brenda: Hello Amelia, how can I help you?
Amelia: Help me? (She laughed out loud) By the time we are done talking, you will be the one needing my help. Anyway, there is a saying that nothing can be hidden under this sun. I know what you and Dave did to Mr. Edwards. I have the pictures with me and I intend to share it if you don’t comply with my conditions.
Brenda: “And what’s your conditions if I may ask”
Amelia: “Meet me up tomorrow evening at Tarvan pub, 7:00pm.
Come alone and don’t try to play smart”
She said that and hung up.
Brenda told Dave what Amelia said.
Dave: “Babe, you are not going anywhere. Let her do her worst.”
Brenda: “I understand you my love. Only you and I know what exactly happened at the hotel, the world doesn’t. If those photos are leaked, they could very well be misinterpreted. It’s better I go meet with her. Then, we can come to a compromise so she doesn’t do anything unexpected”
Dave finally agreed for Brenda to go see Amelia.
Amelia on the other hand, was not done with her phone calls. She had one more person to call – the Resource Person who unknown to her, was Brenda’s Father.
She pretended to be the course representative for their class and called his office to schedule a meeting. She told his secretary she needed to get clarification on some course-related issues. She was asked to come over the next day.
The following morning, Amelia went to Brenda’s father’s office as scheduled.
She was warmly recieved and was given something to drink while she waited for Mr. Wilson who was at a meeting when she arrived.
Mr. Wilson came from his meeting after a few minutes to meet Amelia at the reception. He greeted her warmly and quickly ushered her into his main office.
