Chapter 26: Chapter 26

TRUTH

I stood in front of this being , looking like I just saw a ghost.

My heart was rising with rage, I was angry but yet I could contain it, how did she find me? I thought this mess was over, I didn't want more explanation.

"Hi.. girlie" the very familiar voice said.

Really! Hey girlie, oh... please!.

After all these months, the girl who had hurt me for so long was standing in front of me, her belly so grown, she looked fat but very pretty.

Her hair is now longer and wavy.

"What the hell are you doing here" turning my back to face her.

"Can you at least hear me out, please!" I wasn't ready for the whatever breaking news she wanted to give, I knew I was stupid for kissing Armando.

"Oh no no no, I don't want to, I can see for myself" looking at her tommy, she looked so perfect with it, I couldn't believe Armando cheated on me, and the worse,it was with my best friend, my only friend, Marty.

"He's not the father of my baby" she said coming in and sitting on the couch close to her, she looked pretty exhausted.

" Hahahahaha, did Armando put you to this, cause trust me, it ain't working Marty" I was furious but I know how much I couldn't stay angry at this being.

" Uhm!Armando never cheated on you for a second, he loved you Jane, and he still does" I melted on seeing Marty cry, she was always the strong one amongst us.

As much as I didn't want to believe her, I did, maybe I should give her a listening ear.

" Did he tell you that" I asked, sounding a bit awkward.

"Yes girlie, and ever since you left his life, he changed, his.. not the Armando we all knew him to be." she said.

I was shocked when she called him Armando, but remembered his secretary calling him "Mr Albert".I thought he was supposed to be referred to as Father Albert.

"Changed?, What do you mean by that?" I was curious to know what had happened all this while, I wondered what she meant by him changing, last time I saw him, he looked totally fine and was living the best of his life.

"Am sorry Jane , you heard us talking about the baby, but you got it all wrong, I should have told you what was going on but I didn't want to stress you." She swallowed hard and I could feel the pain in those words she uttered, she was going through pains.

I came close to sit on the same couch, looking at her to tell me the whole story.

"Where do I start from Jane?" she asked.

"From the very start, Marty, I want to know everything" I was ready to listen to her, maybe I should have from the very start but my insecurities guided me the most.

FB

Marty's POV

"Hey girlie, I'll be back" closing the door of Jane behind me.

"Where are you going, it's pretty late, you shouldn't go out" she suggested but I was determined to see the boy that had been sending strange letters and gifts.

I was pretty excited to see him, but I wondered why he invited me to see him in a lonely space in the school cafeteria. I was scared but trust me, determination was my middle name.

I ignored Jane's comment and went on.

"Not to worry baby, no one is taking me away from you" I leaned to peg her on the cheeks, she threw a pillow at me, I giggled and turned to leave.

" Please be careful and come back early" she advised

"Yes Mom!" I mocked her.

Walking at that hour of the night I was scared to be caught so I took off my sippers and held them in my hands and tiptoed all the way to the cafeteria.

There he was, he looked so handsome from the back, just when he noticed me, he turned to face me, I couldn't breath, how did I not know it was Haki Kensington the famous basket baller.

His brown eyes scanning my body impatiently,he licked his lips, I didn't like the way he stared at me.

I walked towards him.

"Hi," I said, a bit nervous from the way my heart rode.

"Hello..beautiful" , his eyes not looking at my face but my bosoms, I felt a slight rage forming inside of me.

"You even look prettier than I imagined," he said, and his words confused me because of the countless letters that he sent to me, I remembered him saying.

" You look prettier than yesterday" and that always made my day .

"Thanks" I was beginning to feel uncomfortable by the way his eyes were constantly looking at my bosoms.

"Uhmm...Thanks for the letters and gifts, I really appreciate them,I .... I should be heading back to my dorm"I turned to leave, he didn't say a word to me, I heard him let out a small laugh, reaching to the door lock, it was locked but how come, how is that even possible, I didn't see anyone else but us here, I froze.

I turned to face him, but this time it was just him, he had company, my heart skipped.

Their lion eyes feeding on me like I was a prey.

I was scared, whatever he was trying to do, scared the ghost out of me.

"Not so fast beautiful, don't you want to say hi to my boys, huh?!" He had an evil smirk on.

"H...I" I was shaking.

I wanted to run but I couldn't, as he stepped closer to me and dragged me, my full weight hit the wall,I collapsed to the ground.

"Well, it's she just perfect?" He asked the others, they lamented for a while.

"Too bad she's not with her best friend" I was too weak to move as he pulled me by my hair and dragged me to a dark corner.
