Jude’s side of the story continues from the last episode
‘’alright fine, I will be in my room waiting for you’’ I managed to force out a smile while Tracy nodded and returned her attention to the guy who appeared calm even though I knew deep inside he was boiling with rage.
I headed to room where I restlessly waited for Tracy to join me. I couldn’t help but wonder what she could be discussing with the guy. Yes i was so nervous, worried and restless.
About fifteen minutes later, I heard a knock on my door. I quickly opened it to see Tracy standing at the doorway. She forced out a smile even though she was looking terrible.
‘’he has left. I want to rest in my room, I’m having slight headache. See you later’’ she breathed softly. I quickly grabbed her hand.
‘’alright let’s go to your room together’’ I offered with a smile. She shook her head.
‘’that isn’t necessary. I just want to be alone’’ she replied, snatched her hand from my grasp headed to her room as if we were quarrelling. I quickly shut my door and ran after her.
‘’I told you I want to be alone, didn’t i?’’ she asked as she opened her room door while I softly grabbed her by the waist. Together we walked into her room.
‘’I know you had a hard time with him but it shouldn’t get you worked up. I’m here for you, I will always be here for you’’ I promised softly.
‘’you don’t understand. I threw out a good man, I threw away a good opportunity all because of you. He left in anger because of the way I treated him. I had no reason to treat him badly but I did. I just pray I didn’t make a terrible mistake’’ she breathed and fell on her bed while I slowly sat beside her and caressed her body softly.
‘’you did the right thing Trey, nothing will stop us from being together not even Juliet’’ I promised solemnly. She rolled her eyes.
‘’oh please, you are just confused. Let me be, let me rest. I don’t even understand myself anymore’’ she begged. I smiled, kissed her cheek and got up.
‘’I will be heading back to the house later in the day to drop some money for Pamela’’ I informed her as I headed to the door.
‘’but what exactly is your plan for her?. Will she permanently stay at your house and care for the baby as a single mum or are you really going to do what with her?’’ she suddenly asked, stopping me at the door with her question.
‘’oh Trey I thought we have talked about it before?’’ I asked,
‘’no we haven’t’’ she insisted.
‘’first I will do the DNA test and if the little girl turns out to be mine, I will care for her to the best of my ability but I won’t get back with the mother, I just gave it a big thought and last night meant something wonderful to me. I can’t leave you for anything. After all Juliet is nothing but a girl and life isn’t just fair, she will have to take things the way it is unless I can convince her mum to drop her in my care. I’m so confused about many things right now but I’m very sure of one thing, and that is, I will never get back with Pamela’’ I explained softly.
‘’oh Jude may God help you. You are very much confused’’ Tracy breathed and sighed while I left her room without another word.
—————————–
I barely had gotten to my room when my phone rang and it was Pamela calling.
‘’hey please can you be able to get me the money now, I want to buy some things for Juliet please’’ she begged.
‘’I will be there in few minutes’’ I replied and hung up.
Fifteen minutes later, I was in my house to meet Pamela fully dressed up.
‘’where are you going?’’ I asked without thinking.
‘’to get some things for Juliet nau’’ she answered with a smile.
‘’so you are going out with Juliet?’’ I asked
‘’nooooo, you will be with her till I get back’’ she replied while I yawned.
‘’I’m not good at babysitting’’ I protested.
‘’well you have to learn it today, anyway I won’t take long’’ she replied as I handed her the money I got .
Ten minutes later, I was all alone at the sitting room with Juliet who did nothing but play with me. She gave no trouble and it was just as if she knew her mum wasn’t around. I couldn’t help but fall in love with the little pretty girl over and over.
About an hour later, Pamela returned carrying a whole lot of things with her. I paid no attention to what she bought, and was more relived that she returned on time.
‘’thanks for everything. I got this fruit drink for you’’ she said happily as she dropped two cups of juice before me, drinking from one of the cups and leaving the second cup for me. I drank it without thinking twice and never got myself till much later in the evening when I opened my eyes to see myself lying beside her in the bedroom.
I couldn’t believe she drugged me.
