LOVE TRAIN: THE HEART OF A WOMAN

Lilian’s house.
Kelvin’s story continues

“well there is nothing i can do. Stella gave me a new life, which you very well know. Abandoning her at this stage is very unheard of. I have no choice” i murmured, scratching my head.

“i have no right to be discussing this issue with you. Just do whatever that pleases you. It’s your life after all” Lilian said coldly, forcing me to stare at her with worry.

“are you upset?” i asked curiously,

“of course not, but i hate dumb guys, you rather subject yourself to a life of slavery and misery than facing your Tessy like a man” she screamed, breathed deeply and headed to the kitchen. I watched her walk away, not knowing what to do.

“sometimes doing the right thing can be very wrong. No i can’t just face Stella. What do i tell her?. No no no, i can’t. Yes my feelings for her isn’t as it used to be but i can’t break up with her even if it’s the right thing to do. No no no” i reasoned, stood up and went after Lilian, joining her in the kitchen.

“hey dear. I’m sorry to upset you. Let’s just forget about my problem. I’m a big jerk. How about we go out and catch some fun huh. You know all work and no play isn’t good for the body” i said sweetly, holding her hand. She turned, looked at me and smiled.

“very well, where are you taking me?” she asked with bright eyes.

Lydia’s HOME,
Stella’s story continues

I woke up with a jolt, lazily grabbed my phone and checked the time which showed 7:15pm. I gasped.

“jeez, i can’t believe i have been sleeping all day” i murmured, yawned, turned on the bed and dialled Kelvin’s number. He answered moments later, but there was too much noise in the background.

“hey I’ll call you back. I’m in a noisy place” i heard him say before hanging up. I hissed, feeling very bad.

Very early the next day. Kelvin showed up at Lydia’s house, surprising me a great deal. He gently came to my room, sat on the bed and kissed me.

“i called you last night but you didn’t answer. So i decided to see you first thing today. How are you my love?” he asked.
I stared into his eyes and bit my lips.

“let’s stop pretending. A lot is going wrong in our relationship and i have strong reason to believe that your colleague Lilian is influencing you a lot. I hope she isn’t more than a colleague to you?. It’s time to choose between me and her who you actually want. I’m a woman of honour and i hate playing games. Tell me who do you choose?” i asked seriously. He drew back with surprise, instantly growing pale.

“what’s wrong with you sweetheart. Are you out of your mind or what. How do i choose between my colleague and you. Hope you won’t be asking me to quit my job next because i won’t. I can’t stand your over- authoritative behaviour anymore. This got to stop or i quit this relationship” he angrily scolded, leaving me gasping with shock.

I furiously held him by the collar, ready for a fight. My head was filled with anger and hate.

“what did you just say?” i screamed, almost choking him. Fortunately Lydia ran into the room that moment to save the day….

“i’m sorry but i’m leaving” he finally muttered, causing more damage to my already wounded heart with his words.

To be continued.
