shadow of love episode 37

I looked from Tobe to Leonard, then I became like, who cares by the way?

Everyone said something congratulatory except for me. I gulped down my glass and excused myself. Like I knew I was going to be having a competition, I had dressed in a pink Ankara top (more like a baggy top that stopped in my mid thigh), a little black short and my pink boot. With my phone in hand, I left the little gathering and made for the parking lot. I got there fortunately and leaned on Leonard's car. I breathed out and sank into deep thoughts, wondering the direction my life was going to. Who was writing my destiny now and why is this writer making my life complicated?
I was brought out from my thoughts by the little slut William now carried around.
She tapped me and I looked at her. Behind the huge make up, I saw an innocent girl and anger tightened in my throat. Not against the little girl but against William, who was turning this girl into a sex worker.

Anna: You're beautiful.

Her voice was angelic, and it rang in my head like a church bell.
Goose bumps appeared on my skin and my ear itched, begging to release the tears through my eyes.

Anna: My name's Anna and it's clear you are not happy, that's why I decided to follow you.

Me: How old are you?

Don't blame me. That was the first question my brain decided to register to my lips. She stared at me, then gave out that smile she gave me at the office.

Anna: Old enough.

Surprise. Yes, i was. Her answer came the wrong way and I had to swallow spanking her butts.

Me: Old enough for?

Anna: Tell me, why are you not happy?

Me: Are you?

Anna; I think I am. I've got everything I need in life. At least, for now.

Me: What about what you want?

Anna: Some things are just not considered. We don't always get what we wish for. So tell me, what do I call you?

Me: I'm Pamela. You can call me Pamel.

Anna: Nice. So tell me, why are you not happy? i was told we were coming here to have fun.

Me: Is that what your boyfriend told you?

Anna: Yes. And is that jealousy I smell?

My world. What insolence. A girl, who I'm sure is just 17-18 years, speaking in such manner. I shook my head and stared at her, she still had that smile.

Anna: I'm kidding. Don't take it personal.

Me: It's cool.

Anna: So tell me why you're not happy. You just left everyone of us there, it's not polite.

Me: I'm sorry but I wanted to be alone. You see, I've got history with everyone there and most of them are not pleasant to remember. Seeing there faces got me confused to an extent.

Anna: Hmmm. You're just like my sister.

Me: How?

Anna: You don't even know me, yet you're saying those things to me. Come, let's go inside. If they were your friends and you enjoyed company with them a couple of years ago, I believe, if you give them a chance into your life, they will make life much more interesting for you.

I looked at her again and a smile quickly appeared on my face. That instant, we both started laughing.

Me: And I ask again, how old are you?

Anna: I'm 18. I clocked 18 last month.

I held her shoulders and we started walking back to the resort.

Anna: You enjoy wearing shorts don't you?

Me: Yes dear.

Anna: Why?

Me: Because of the same reason you enjoy wearing them.

Anna: Cause I've got straight legs.

Me: Same here. It's either skirts or shorts.

Anna: You don't wear trousers at all?

Me: Nope. I cut my jeans.........



........................and that was our discussion till we joined the group. They saw us and were surprised. Instead of going back to William's lap, she pulled a chair beside mine and sat down.

Lois: At least, we can now eat.

Me: Forgive us. We got carried away.

I looked at Anna and she shot me a smile. I could see William's mood change and I knew he didn't like my relationship with Anna.

William: Guys, excuse me. Anna, meet me outside now.

He left and Anna held my hands. I felt it shake but her face still wore that smile.

Anna: I may not come back. He doesn't like me associating with his friends.

Lois: He's sick. He doesn't have that right.

Anna looked at Lois and nodded, her smile not leaving her face.

Anna: I know, but that's what I get for going way beyond my league. It was nice meeting you all.

Me: At least, give me your number of have mine.

I fished through my handbag and got out my complementary card. I gave it to her and she stuffed it into her snicker and jogged away.

Leonard: How old is she?

Me: Just 18.

Amber: This William of a guy is something else. Though, he looks good but it's not a guarantee to act as he pleases.

Harry: I know you must get attracted to him. Don't forget I'm still here.

We used that to lighten the mood before our meal came and we started eating. That was when William came back and took a seat beside Leonard.

Harry: Where is your girlfriend?

William: Girlfriend? You mean Anna?

Harry: Of course. Or did you come with someone else?

William: Sent her home, so that some people won't use her as an excuse to get back into my life.

That was what it took to bring out the little demon in me. I pushed the table towards him and stood up. I walked towards him in angry steps. Not minding the table that compressed him or the meals that had splattered on him, I gave him a slap that made Lois gasp, then everyone stood up to stop the fight that never came.
