THE UNPOLISHED GEM

Lia Pov

it's a Monday morning, Mandy is back to work with her bossy nd spill all the juice attitude , I rolled my eyes...Ok listen it was fun, Ben is something else nd now I'm jealous he's already taken I pout. We burst out laughing so hard I couldn't breath, nd guess what I said while catching my breathe, I think micheal is beginning to be jealous, that was faster than I thought. really? Mandy ask , I let her in on what ensured between micheal nd I , girl you told your hubby all that? I think he's right you re not a caterpillar anymore Mrs wills, we laughed once again, granny interrupted our fun when she called for help from the kitchen...

Well dear diary, I went out with Ben the following Friday to the movies nd later had dinner, we got home nd thank God micheal was already in bed so no argument or should I say he got my " stay out of my business " message the last time. This is the 3rd Friday today nd Ben is taking me home to have dinner with him together with his fiancee ( jane) the whole plan this time is to spend the night nd go home the next day as if I spend the night with him. I know yall think it's a lil extreme but a woman got to do what she got to do, I 've one last Friday to go to end this if it doesn't work atleast I tried

He picked me up at 6pm to his house, three bedroom apartment, it was beautiful nd so was Jane. We became close that evening, she's so lovely nd sweet, she told me stories of how they met , their challenges nd also their wedding will be in 2months. How I wish mine was full of love like theirs, she also told me they're trying to get pregnant but it's not happening after several tests that proved they're medically fine. God give babies Jane, don't pressure he will surprise you soon. We retire to bed at 12 midnight, feels good to have company nd a positive one at that.

I got home the next day nd micheal ignored me like a plaque , maybe I got the wrong signals the entire time he's not jealous like I imagined. I'm kinda hurt but I 've one last week to go. I attend to dad yeah I still care for him , I refuse to be a free loader just becus I'm now his daughter inlaw besides I won't have anything to do if I allohim employ another nurse, I don't charge for my services any more even though he insisted so he gave me a credit card to buy anything I want, I took it not to offend him but I never used it

My mother in law thinks I'm a schemer who grabs the first opportunity into becoming her favourite son's wife, she's not God to judge me so I don't care. Dad ask why I spend the night out, I told him about the plan nd he was excited, I thought he will be mad but supported me . He said I prefer this marriage last even after the contract , my son doesn't even know what he want so please be patient with him child, I nodded

I havnt been myself lately , I suspect someone is stealing from the company cus the accounts don't seem to add up, I'm trying to figure out everything with dad nd some of my trusted employees. I came home nd as usual my " faithful wife" is out with her new boyfriend, I know it should be the least of worries but I'm jealous, how this feelings started I can't tell. I went to bed early cus I have a terrible headache with all the pressure going on nd Gwen also travelled to visit her mum , I kinda miss her. I woke up to my alarm blowing up gosh it's a Saturday for crying out loud, my headache has subside abit, I head to the kitchen to see if I can get breakfast I'm starving

Nanny : Good morning son, you look terrible

Mike: I know right , I had headache last night but I'm fine now after a good sleep I said yawning, where's everyone?

Nanny : your dad is having breakfast upstairs, your mum as usual went out nd your wife is yet to come home from her date last night

Mike : i chocked on my juice, what? oh she don't only go on dates , she spend her night with her new boyfriend.. great, I raised my glass nd cheers to my faithful wife your innocent baby girl , I left the kitchen to my room nd banged the door. She just a slut , mom was right nd to think she always preach to me on morals when Gwen spend the night here, I need to go out with my friends to get fresh air

I call my guys so we can play basket ball nd hung out like old times, on my way out I met with the slut I ignored her the entire time, I can't stand her right now cus I won't be responsible for my next actions. We had lots of fun , I mean there's never a dull moment with my guys, the girls joined us with lunch nd I can't help but miss Gwen the more, she's the only girl who understands me . I decided to call her nd a male voice came through the fon telling me she's in the shower before I could hung up, I heard shuffling with the phone nd her voice at the background quarrelling with the guy, how dare you pick up my calls? i***t , hi babe she said , in my confused state I cleared my voice I'm with the guys nd I miss you so I decided to check on you, awwww babe I'm blushing.... don't mind my cousin I warn him not to pick my calls, no probs bae imma call ya when I get home then I hug up, is she cheating on me ? she's done it before , I couldn't fuse about it cus I cheated too but now I'm all grown nd faithful since things got serious between us, she better not cheat on me or I'm sending her ass straight to hell....
