episode 13
You know I never asked u to Tina, for goodness sake u just complicated my life the more.
gosh, you don't know what that stupid date cost me.do you? she yelled at Tina, very angry now, Tina had causes all her recent problems and she did not know why Tina would be angry with her .because she's the Vitim of this whole mess,
really , what did it cost you madam, Tina said dryly,
oh u want to hear, the stupid idiot behind this blind date is no other than my client, jezz the first rule in my business policy is never get involved with a client, God knows I would have tolerated it a bit if the client hadn't been so proud, stupid egoistic Babs maxwell who can't stay a single minute without talking how handsome he his,
Tina blinked, well that could annoy any one, Tina thought
Amara hit her legs on the floor, and he even had the gut that I would agree to date him in other to give me more contract, how stupid can a man be , she hisses and brushed away the hair that covered her face. and to crown it all I bumped into kelvin.
Tina gasped, which Kelvin?
Do you know ant other Kelvin Amara said as she stood up walked to the window looking at the busy street beyond, I wasn't prepared for that Tina she said, that's the last thing I want right now to complicate my life.
Tina signed, when she had planned the date she felt that either way it went, weather good or bad. she hopes that Amara would come close to her, and she can see that it worked. that coldness that Amara build towards her was no longer visible, she was confiding in her again after many years, but then if Tina knew she's would meet kelvin, she wouldn't have planned the date, Amara haven't gotten over her past and having her psst appear one after the other could bring back the hurt over and over again, am sorry ... I had no idea
Amara shook her head, it was obvious that Tina wanted to help, even though it turns out sore, it fine,.
Do you want to talk about it, Tina asked ?
Amara opened her mouth to talk, but decided against it, I can handle it she said.
Tina felt disappointed, she saw the desire to talk in her eyes, but then she closed up again, she decided to leave it and give Amara some time. her chest brunt slightly and she began to cough, Amara turned to face Tina when she started coughing, are u alright, going to the office dispensary to get water
Tina tried to bring the cough under control using her handkerchief, the cough stopped before she brought the water, Tina kept her handkerchief and collected the water, are u sure u are alright amara asked in concern, Tina shook her head.
Amara looked at her for some second before nodding her head.

Two days later Alex dropped his legs on the bed looking at his laptop, he knew where to find Amara with the address in his hands. he logged in a hotel in Lagos, waiting for the time he would have the courage to drag him self to Ara p.
he had been so happy flying to Lagos, but now he was scared of facing her . the woman he saw on the laptop wasn't like the woman he uses to know, and since they parted on a very bad way, he couldn't just imagine how her reaction would be seeing him again, I just want her forgiveness he told him self, reminding him self he can never have any f feelings for her other than brother and sister feelings.
his phone rang and he picked it up, hey man!

Lagos despite all I said.

Alex rubbled his wet palms in his head, he should have told tova before hand, and now he knew that his boiling wife have something cooking g up for him, she's always boiling man, but am sorry putting u on the spot line.
