<< JUNE AND TERESA APARTMENT >>
“But why will the cops release Wayne?” Ask Teresa as she brought two cup of tea, placing the first one in front of Damian and the other in front of June.
“Due to lack of evidence and his bail was paid” Damian said, sipping his tea.
“I can’t believe this! So a dangerous man should be free due to lack of evidence, I feel like hitting one or two cops” Teresa blurt out.
“Don’t you have anything to say?” Teresa demanded when June kept quiet.
But June’s thought was bothered by what Damian told her earlier in the rain, she had made up an excuse about leaving the rain and invited him to her house just so she won’t give him an answer.
“All I know is that someone is helping him and I think it is that man that wanted to buy me” June said, looking wistful.
“Which is why I propose a solution but you haven’t given me an answer” Damian turn to her.
Sensing the tension between them, Teresa excuse herself and left the apartment, giving them time to talk alone.
“It’s a no Damian. I can’t marry you” she said, putting a distance between them by getting up.
“Why?”
“You should know why. We are not in love with each other, a marriage between us can’t work” June said.
“You are right in saying we don’t love each other but there is attraction, you are attracted to me as much as I am to you,right?” He ask, waiting for a reply but Teresa chose that moment to return and she had a scared look on her face.
“June, your mom is here!” Teresa inform.
“What! She didn’t tell me she’s coming” June reply, looking worried.
“I suggest you answer her when she arrive and as for you Mr Brooks, You’ve got to hide” Teresa said.
“Why?”
“You haven’t forgotten what happen during our stay in your house,my mom is still upset about it and she’s definitely going to take it out on you once she sees you” June told him.
Reluctantly, he went up stairs with Teresa while June welcome her mom.
“Sorry for coming unannounce, I just wanted to see you and know how you are and also I brought some side dishes for you and Teresa, where’s Teresa?” Ruth ask.
“Am here, mother” Teresa called as she came running downstairs.
“I snell something yummy! As always you are the best Mrs Ruth ” Teresa said, giving June’s mom a hug.
“I hope you eat this and stay healthy, I don’t want you guys eating junk food and getting thinner, no one will want to marry you if are as thin as a broom” Ruth admonish.
“Then June and I can stay single and take care of you till eternity ” Teresa joke, getting a smack on the back.
“What about Nathan?” June ask.
“Still at school, it’s exam period and he has been busy studying” June inform.
The smash of something upstairs stole everyone attention.
“What’s that? Is someone upstairs?” Ruth ask both girls.
“No one is there, we are the only one at home” Teresa said quickly but Ruth didn’t buy it.
“One good thing I can tell about you two is that I know when you are lying and you are lying to me right now, you’ve got a man here” Ruth said, walking past them to take the stairs.
“There’s really no one here with us and you are intruding in our privacy, mom” June said as they followed her upstairs.
“There’s nothing like privacy when it comes to a child welfare. If one you is dating someone then I will like to meet him”
“What if he doesn’t want to meet you?” June said quickly.
“Why won’t he? Am not some sort of ogre and I won’t chase him off as long as he isn’t Damian Brook, I don’t want that man around you and you too” Ruth said to Teresa as they all stood in front of the door way.
“Why don’t you want Damian Brooks around us? As far as I know he’s a good catch” Teresa said.
“What’s the point of being a good catch when he has a harsh family? I don’t care how much of a catch he is, I don’t want you around him. If I had my way, I won’t let you work in his company” Ruth said, opening the door and going into the room.
There was no sight of anyone except for a photo frame which was lying on the floor broken.
“We told you, there’s no one here” June said and while Teresa took her mom out of the room, June lingered around, wondering where Damian was.
A thud came from her wardrobe and immediately, she open it to see Damian curled in it.
“Are you okay?” June ask.
“Though am a bit cramp but am okay. Is she gone?” He ask.
“Not yet. Stay here until she leaves, if she sees you then we are all dead” she said, closing the wardrobe door before leaving the room.
Her mother stayed for about two hours more before leaving. June went back upstairs to check on Damian and she found him still curled up in the wardrobe, asleep.
She crouch in front of the wardrobe, starring at his sleeping face.
June couldn’t deny that he look more handsome while asleep, her hand itch to set right a loose tendril of his hair and she was about doing so when he took hold of her hand and pulled her on his laps.
“See, you are attracted to me much more than you think” he whispered, pulling her head down for a kiss.
