I bravely opened the door for Tony who gasped with surprise as he saw me.
“oh gracious lord. You are here?” he exclaimed curiously. I nervously smiled and made way for him to enter the room while Jenifer turned her back on us.
“so you know?” he asked suspiciously.
“know about what?” i murmured, pretending to be confused.
“yea i called your friend first thing today. I told him about your games. Just leave my house” Jenifer cut in with anger, saving me a whole lot of explanation. I breathed deeply and smiled with relief.
“i have things under control. Just respect her wish and leave for the moment. I’ll brief you later” i said to him convincingly. He drew back and gave me a look of trust.
“can you fix things for me?” he asked hopefully.
“of course my friend. I’ll, and before i forget, please give me Irene’s Phone number. I hope she has left” i said curiously.
“yea i sent her home very early in the morning” he answered weakly, sharing the girl’s number with me. Moments after, he left unceremoniously, leaving me alone with Jenifer.
“so the girl, who is she?. You can’t believe the shock i got seeing her in his house. Gosh” Jenifer vibrated angrily.
“her name is Irene. She used to be Tony’s fiancee, until he met you” i answered truthfully, drawing out a very fierce gaze from the shocked girl.
“i still can’t believe Tony could do such a thing to me” she cried softly, while i rolled my eyes with satisfaction. I couldn’t help but imagine the scene that was created in Tony’s house the previous evening.
“i can’t believe things are just going as expected” i chuckled happily, my imaginations instantly going wild with all i planned doing with the decieved girl.

“if you are in my shoes, what will you do?” Jenifer asked painfully. Her swollen eyes and coloured face melted my heart, giving me great urge to go forward and hug her but i held myself.
” if i’m in your position, all i will do is simply shut down my heart and take time in thinking and studying the situation. This isn’t the time a lady should have hopes on a guy who has another girl in his path. You know time waits for nobody and i know the best advice is the one you can give yourself. I have to leave now” i calmly said to her, smiled and left without another word.
It was now a matter of time before she erases Tony from her heart to give me the opportunity i had always hoped for. She always had feelings for me and so i knew there won’t be any difficulty for her moving on with me.
My only fear was Tony’s reaction, because i knew how ruthless he could be when provoked.
My mind really wasn’t at ease as i headed over to his house as i left Jenifer’s apartment. I had no news to share with him but had to go see him anyway.
On getting to Tony’s house, i discovered he was very nervous and uneasy. It touched my heart but i quickly pushed aside my conscience..
“what’s up?” he asked,
“she needs time bro, just give her time. I know she will come around” i said to my friend who frowned unhappily.
“you mean i should stay away from her?, c’mon that’s impossible. Do you want me to die with grief?” he cried. I smiled and tapped his shoulder.
“not only should you stay away from her for the moment, also don’t disturb her with your phone calls, at least for a week. Believe me, i’m speaking from experience” i said while he breathed deeply, looking down.
“You know I almost killed Irene yesterday. I was taking my bath when Jenifer surprisingly showed up. The two ladies almost tore each other apart. I feel so bad for hitting Irene mercilessly after Jenifer left, and early this morning i had to throw her out in a very degrading manner. I feel so ashamed bro. I don’t have your level of education but i know what is right. Moreover i have my dignity and integrity to protect” he poured out painfully.
“c’mon bro, stop whinnying like a lady. Everything happens for a purpose. Just think positively huh” i advised seriously as if i was watching his back as a friend.

The next day, Irene honoured my invitation and came over to my office. The frown on her face told me the true condition of her feelings and it was something i was hoping to cash in on.
“Just like i told you on phone yesterday, I want to help you secure your fiancee Tony, but it all depends on you. Are you willing to play or not??” I asked the lost girl with a cunning smile which played down my lips.
