BOB TRIES EXPLAINING HIS SITUATION TO LUCY

Bob and Lucy sit in the Relaxation park.

Before they begin the conversation, Bob takes a deep breath. He starts talking to Lucy, after some long period of silence, Lucy speaks out, saying to him, "You are not talking. You said, " You are in a mess, that my friend found something in your phone right?" I do not like being left in suspense. Therefore, I need you to tell me now the details of what you said my friend found on your phone".

"I am here with you this morning, leaving my boyfriend behind because you said you need to talk to me about the situation you are in with my friend". I would not want my boyfriend to come out here to see us, else, it will be messy. Therefore, we need to make it snappy, so that you don't create a scene with my boyfriend discovering that I am not in and he comes to look for me and find me with you here. I left the room while he was still asleep."

Bob, decides to start talking by saying, "Lucy, let me begin by saying, "I am not a saint. I have done too many terrible things in an attempt of trying to get peace of mind. I got myself in as a result of what I am going through in my family. I know it will amaze you to hear me tell you that I am married with kids."

"Eh! Did I hear you correctly say, " I am married?", Lucy ask with apt surprise.

"Yes, I am" Bob replies, saying, "That is the reason for the problem I am having with your friend. I kept it secret from her because I did not know how to present it to her. I feel she will not understand. Truly, I did not want to stand the chance of losing her. I needed something I have tried using my money to get, and it is not working. However, I seem to have found that with your friend, Susan." Bob says, "I have had all calibre of girls, tall, short, fair, dark and whatever, using my money as bait, nevertheless, I still have not had peace of mind. Because of the condition, in my family, with my wife's unruly attitude, I have become the shadow of myself. I thought, sleeping on the rooftop will be far better than staying with a woman like my wife who often brings me trouble and nags, when there is no reason to.

Bob's eyes were devil red, even as he speaks. The tears in my eyes were heavy like a cloud that was ready to rain cat and dog.

"I have always thought and created an illusionary world in my mind, thinking that my money can get me whatever I wanted. Yes, I have the money, I mean, even more, than enough to get me anything, even all calibres of girls, which I have had all with the mind that they will make me feel the peace I have not felt in my family. Nevertheless, I am wrong as I have always been and I hate to be. I have never felt what my heart crave with these calibre girls I have had with Susan, however, the evil that drives my mind would not allow me to do the right thing. The girls I have slept with are innumerable. Moreover, truly, the majority of these girls are clinging to me because they want the pay. However, there is something about your friend, Susan, that brings me peace of mind. I realized, she isn't looking for any pay, she just wants a job to make her life productive", says Bob, " Nevertheless, I am afraid to allow anything to come in between my family and me. I mean, I just want a relationship, that will give me peace, a relationship I can fall back to when I am hurt and I can pay anything for it." says Bob to Lucy, while Lucy listens with much keenness, but feel disgusted with some of the things she was hearing, coming out of Bob's mouth."

"What? Bob, you mean you have a family?" Lucy reacted in surprise and say to Bob, "I am very disappointed in you. My instinct prompted me when I saw you initially, deep down in me, I knew there was something about you, but I could not place it. About you, I have always had my reservation, but didn't want to interfere with my friend's new affair", says Lucy.

Lucy gets up, feeling very furious and tries walking out of Bob, but aptly grabs her hands, kneels and start pleading with her saying,

" Please, Lucy, just hear me first, if this will be the only favour you will do for me, I will be most grateful. Yes, I already feel condemned, as I have always been a condemned man. Please, Lucy, just allow me to explain to you because if I can explain to you, I know your friend will try to see from where I am coming through you. Please, I beg you. I do not like what is happening in my life, however, deep down inside of me, I am a man looking for help and the only help I can receive, is to be truly loved.", Bob says to Lucy.

Lucy in response, says, "I am very surprised and I must tell you the truth, that I am shocked to my bone. Though I have not heard from you in full yet, my heart is already racing, as it will rend off. I am trying to regulate the anger brewing in me, but I cannot just help it. If I am filled with anger in this manner, how will my friend feel with the reality of what you are telling me now?"

Bob replies, "You have every right to be angry with me because I am angry with myself. I do not at all expect you to understand because I don't even understand myself, therefore, who will understand me when I do not understand myself? All I ask of you is, just allow me to explain things to you, that is all I ask for."

"Alright! you have my time, but please, make it snappy," says Lucy.

"Lucy, I am sorry about what happened between your friend and me", says Bob, "I have been living a recklessly reckless life all in an attempt to get the peace I desire. It started with me running to a friend of mine in an attempt to seek counsel about the situation in my family. After I had told him my predicament, he asks me to relax, that life is too short to allow things to bother me. That sounds good to me and I was expecting something good. However, his advice was what landed me into a lifestyle that I can't even come out of now. That friend of mine, ask me to book a room in a hotel, where I can go relax apart from my family when my wife decides to start giving me problems. Before I could know it, he had already booked me for a lounge. I did not know it was a nightclub. One fateful day, I left work very exhausted and when I got home, my wife welcomes me with series of nasty insults. I was angry, I did not even change the clothes I had on, I run out of the house as if something was chasing me. I went to the lounge my friend hired for me. Before I could enter my room in the lounge, I saw girls of all calibre, stripped naked. They were twerking hot, as I got aroused instantly. It was an irresistible sight. The only resistance is for one never to get close to such kind of environment. The current surging from that environment will surf one into an abyss and I was unfortunate to abysmally take a surf in. Your sees most men suffering today because of the advice they receive from so-called friends, and the situation is becoming pathetic. I know how many times I have attempted suicide. What my eyes saw in that club, got me aroused and I had my inner pant completely wet. I rushed into the room, shut the door, take off my boxers, held my manhood and masturbate to relieve myself. That did not help, as the mental picture of the young stalk naked beautifully irresistible girls was strong in my eye's mind. My will to resist came under arrest.

Lucy! This was how I found myself, clubbing, humanizing, drinking and got addicted to all manner of evil, such that I cannot do without indulging in such an illicit kind of life. I am frustrated and need help. I need help!"

While Bob was still talking, Susan drops from the cab and was heading toward Lucy's house. Lucy sights at Susan and decides to alert Bob. Susan was looking very tattered as if she had gone nuts.

"Bob, I think, for now, you have to hide. I will meet up with my friend and try to calm her down. When she is calm, I will get back to you and advise you on what to do. Nevertheless, I am very mad at you." says Lucy.
