What the hell does he take himself for? treating me like a piece of trash in front of his friend.It not like I love him that much,he only have what I need in a man.Mitchell lamented to Vanessa who had been listening with rapt attention.
I can’t blame him chel,you made yourself desperate and cheap before him.
What are you saying v? I was only trying to protect my man.
You’re are wrong, why don’t you let a guy beg to date you. yes let him fight for your affection not otherwise.
I see Vanessa,start counting yourself as one of those people that hate me.
It not what you are thinking…I was
Before Vanessa could complete her sentence,Chel had carried her clutch already heading for the door.She had driven to Vanessa’s house hoping to feel better after the incident at Richards place.
How much she missed having Godfrey her ex,even though they had misunderstandings know one had cared for her like him.Expecially those times she felt so lonely, when her mother was admitted to the psychiatric and her father decided to reside in china,it was like loosing two parents at the same time but he was a shoulder to lean on.She even spent her holidays with his family,they all accepted and loved her until their break up.It been a year but the love is still intact.

Richard found himself humming to the music he played from his speaker. It had been 3weeks they had resumed to this new semester.
He was putting finishing touch to his painting,though it was already good enough to be call perfect but he wasn’t satisfied. And the song from the speaker was turned to his favourite even though he wasn’t conversant with the lyrics.

lyrics
I only know am in love when I mean it
wishing you were here today
don’t run away forever
don’t wanna feel this way
when we meet my life gonna change in a minute
nothing gonna be thesame
I know am gonna find u
seem to me like
Am not asking much
this is how I feel
…………..
His moment was interupted by his dad who barged in
Dad,when did you arrive?how do you know I live here?
Now listen to me young man,am not here to exchange pleasantries. Your V.C made me make this impromptu visit,you should know I have you watched even though I am not in the country.
your first semester result was terrible,and have gotten so many report you’v been partying around and womanizing
Dad please
don’t you daree me Tare,you’v got to work hard because you are my only heir.Stop fooling yourself in painting rubish you don’t belong to that world.
But dad,this is what I have passion for.
Richard was fast enough to prevent the blow,he knew his dad hated painting just as he loved it with passion. He left but after much threatening.
Richard sat down with his hands in his palms,he should have known his dad would have him watched,the old man was a disciplinarian.
The whole painting issue was causing a rift between them.But that didn’t stop him from calling him Tare’ meaning he was still in safe hands. He had refused bearing the name since it means
‘love’ .He felt such name should be given to females, but his dad had preferred that to Richard. It seemed there’s something behind the name ‘Tare’.
I don’t know when the next episode might come up,my phone is misbehaving big time.
