EPISODE 26
Drake was going up and down, within the crowd, I think I saw Matts, but I brushed it aside. I was sure my mind was just playing tricks on me. I guess I wished she was here with me.
Finally, everything ended; I was rushing upstairs to throw up. The morning sickness has been tough on me lately, and then I saw them.
My face turned red instantly, immediately I felt fine. What are you three doing here, who even invited you ladies here.
I did, I looked back and say nectar smiling, how dare you invite these betrayers to my wedding, they are the last people I ever want to see. I was really trying to control my anger, not to ruin my own sham of a wedding.
Katie, this is not the place or the time to talk about this. I only came here, to support my brother even after knowing he is marrying you and you might not want to see me; I still had to tag along. I tried to see you about coming over but you refuse to see me.
Please can you let him enjoy his day; you can hate me all you want later. Nectar is your brother. What the hell. That was all I managed to say. Yes, Saint. The doctor I told you about.
Oh my God, I quickly rushed inside and closed my door. What have I gotten myself in this time? I thought avoiding Matt’s and the girls will take away the pains but it looks like it’s now about to start.
Then I heard drakes voice, are you okay in there, at least let me in. I dragged myself aimlessly from the bed and ushered him in.
What is it again, he made to hold my face when nectar, came in. Can’t you knock, gentleman, are you even real, saint or nectar.
Sorry, he went back to knock, really drake cautioned. Are you always this dumb? Drake asked sarcastically.
What do you want now gentle man? I asked suddenly feeling my temperature rising. Can we go now please, to where exactly? I asked after his request.
EPISODE 27
Our house, Nectar said calmly.
Guy you can see she is not in the mood now. You go and come back another time. Drake said trying to make fun of him.
Okay, Kate I will see you tomorrow. He said and walked out. I glanced at drake after he walked out, and we both chorused, is this man stupid or what. Kate you are in for a lot of trouble in your marriage.
As if you know, that is even better; I can have my peace of mind. I think you should listen to Matts, whatever she has to say. Not you too drake, I just can’t stand the girl.
Young girl, what are you still doing here, you should be in your husband’s house?
Dad, please not now, am not in the mood for your taunting’s. Wilson leave her alone for once, nectar said he would pick her up tomorrow.
I saw my mum sitting by my bedside, I did not even realize I slept off and drake was gone. Mum, is everyone gone. Yes, including your grams, she said to tell you she will visit when you settle in.
Are you taking this dress along, I saw mum holding my red top she got me for Christmas.
Mum what are you doing, packing your things for your matrimonial home? Really, and who told you I will be going there.
Common Kate, don’t treat the poor boy like that, I can see that guy really adores you. He will do anything for you; just give him a chance, will you? For my sake.
Mom, please don’t ask me to do the impossible, just promise you will call if you run into trouble with dad, my dear, don’t worry I will be fine here.
Enjoy your marriage, and sorry I was out of money this month so I have not been able to get you anything for your wedding night, will do that once I get my allowance for the house keep up next month.
Mom, you do not have to get me anything, besides I doubt if a wedding night is ever going to happen, but here take this cheque, I always tell you to let me know when you do not have money.
I hope dad doesn’t starve you for me, Kate don’t starve the poor boy please. Marriage, is not consummated without the wedding night; I do not have to give you guidelines.
EPISODE 28
Do I have to? At the look of things mum, I have to give you guidelines! We all laughed!
Early the next day, nectar was in my house. Mum quickly dragged my stuffs to his booth and dad was walking aimlessly in the room.
I gave my mum a long hug, and told dad to remember our deal. He just looked at me in a way that he has never done before, as if he was sad, I was leaving home.
The drive home was rather awkward he kept stealing glances. I hope you do not mind, I want to get us something for lunch.
What would you prefer? I was mute for some seconds. Gentle man, do whatever you want to, you always don’t have to ask my permission.
Okay, I will be right back; he pulled over and rushed out to what seemed like a restaurant. I sat in the car thinking what is in store for me, how am I going to handle this childish husband of mine.
I was out for 5mins when he spoke up; I got you your favorite. Oh, you are already back, I managed to say weakly to nectar.
Nectar drove to a building with giant gates, and then I saw nectar’s mum and dad coming out. You are welcome my daughter, I was like really, this guy still stays with his parents.
Of course, I said that in my head, thank you mummy. I smiled sheepishly. We got inside and was ushered into our matrimonial room. He does have taste for good decor, I found myself smiling.
What is funny, nectar asked, and who is laughing, I replied. Sorry, you can use the other side of the wardrobe.
Kate he called, I raised my head and saw nectar throwing to my direction the keys. And I handed your lunch over to my mum. Maybe you can come down after you settle in.
EPISODE 29
Gentle man, am not hungry, but you need not starve yourself. You know you are still pregnant. Nectar said calmly.
And what part of that concerns you. I said rudely. I realized I was getting irritated already, if I don’t get any sleep soon, I might explode.
Look am just concerned as a doctor not a father. He walked out and I felt like he was angry. I couldn’t tell when I slept off, but woke up feeling really hungry.
Nectar was nowhere around the house. I walked out with no particular place in mind. I met his mum on the couch, and the whole place was silent.
You are awake; do you care for your lunch now? I came in earlier, but you were fast asleep. She said.
Yes, mum besides I want to know the way to the kitchen just in case, I got my food reheated and what looks like several hours I was finally done.
Don’t worry about food for some time whiles you are here, just take your time and get acquainted with the place first, I will be doing the cooking myself.
How did this woman end up giving birth to a spoilt child like Matts? Am sure it was her stepmom that spoilt her. I was thinking aloud now.
I mean I knew she stayed with her stepmom, and I have never met her mum who remarried his ex-husband. Complicated family, I thought to myself.
That was the main reason why we actually have a connection because we both live with our steps. But this woman right here, is so different from matt, I murmured.
Just then, I felt someone was standing on me, I turned and our eyes met. Welcome, Katie! I just looked on and back to my phone, which I was glued to earlier giving my friends information on how to find this place.
Let me leave you two, nectars mum finally said after sensing the tension around. I saw Matts pulling a chair beside me, can we talk please, Katie! She made to touch me.
Matts stay in your lane; I don’t want to do anything I would
.
EPISODE 30
I hissed and went upstairs, took my shower and tucked myself in. Not long after nectar came back from wherever he went to. Sorry I woke you up I was not sleeping. I found myself answering nectar in a rather calm tone.
Does your sister live here as well? Yes, is there a problem? Yes, there is gentle man, tell her to avoid me.
I have been meaning to ask what the problem was between you two but she was not talking. Just tell her not to come near me, I said again, but this time with a loud tone.
I don’t even know why you cannot get your own place after getting married. Am not sure how long I can stand her in this house, but warn her.
Kate you have not even been here for a day yet and you already have problems with someone. I understand you girls have your feud before I met you but please kindly bear with me for now.
I will get a place soon, he finally said. You had better do so, I retorted back!
He just nodded his head in detest and went to clean himself up. For what looked like, two hours he came back to the room.
I think he went to get something fixed for him, because he was childishly wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
He just said goodnight after seeing him with his toothbrush earlier going into the washroom. Then he jumped onto the couch, after picking up a pillow beside me.
I was surprised when I asked why he was sleeping there; it’s not like I expect anything to happen or I care that much.
He replied, he thought that was part of the contract, as he hasn’t gotten time to read yet.
