MIMIE'S LOVE

EPISODE FIVE

Jason woke up early that morning to keep the house clean and also made breakfast for Mimie. Not long after that, Mimie walked in.

MIMIE

Good morning Jason.

JASON

A Beautiful morning to you Mimie. Hope

you slept well?

MIMIE

I sure did thanks

JASON

Come sit. I made you breakfast.

MIMIE

That's so sweet of you thanks. Ummm

Jason about last night.... (He cut in)

JASON

I know, you were drunk that's why but

it's fine I understand (He worded

nonchalantly)

MIMIE

Yes I was but I know what I did and I did it willing. (She gently held his hand) Jason, the first time you approached me, I told you off but then you kept appearing before me and I kept on being a b***h. But then I suddenly realised the reason I was more meaner to you was because I was scared you will pave your way into my heart. After the night you saved me, things took a complete turn and I started thinking of you often. I swear I tried fighting it but I couldn't. So believe it or not I've come to like you Jason I've come to like you a lot

JASON

Wao. ( He gently removed his hand from

her grasp) Mimie truth be told, the very first day I approached you, was because I was attracted to you lustfully and I just wanted to have fun with you no emotions attached

MIMIE

Really?Then why did you stop me last night?That was a perfect opportunity to have your way with me. So tell me why did you stop me? She desperately asked with unshed tears lingering in her eyes

JASON

It's because I realised you are a nice person. In fact I don't know but what I do know is, I'm not ready for this emotional crap I'm sorry. I prepared your bathing water and got you some new clothes it's in my wardrobe. when you are done, just drop the keys beneath my door mat do have a nice day Mimie

When she was sure he has left, she let the tears she's been holding back flow. After shedding just enough, she ate her breakfast and cleaned the used plates and cutleries. She went as far as cleaning his room and washed his dirty clothes she saw in the dirty basket. After making it sure everything is clean, she took her bath dressed up and left.

THIS SCENE UNFOLDS AT COLLINS HOUSE

Jason arrives at Collins place still thinking about his discussion with Mimie. Nathan was on his phone while Collins was watching a TV programm so he just got in and sat down absent minded

NATHAN

NATHAN

Jason opens the door and was suprise to see Jane but nevertheless he let her in.

JANE

How are you doing Jason?

JASON

I'm good thanks. Jane I'm sorry for not picking your call last night. My phone was on silent mood

JANE

Its okay Jason ( She moves closer to Jason seductively and started caressing him)

JASON

Jane what are you doing?

JANE

Ssshhhhh.

She then suddenly kissed him but Jason pulls away without delay. it was nothing like Mimie's kiss and he felt like a cheating boyfriend

JASON

Jane do not do that again please.

JANE

But Jason I like you a lot and I want you. Since the first day we met I liked you and I still do. Can you please give me a chance to show you how much you matter to me?

JASON

Jane I'm sorry but I'm love with someone else so I can't do this with you.

JANE

(She chuckle humorlessly) Guess that someone else is Mimie right? But she doesn't love you she hates you with passion and besides she has a boyfriend.

When he heard Mimie got a boyfriend, he couldn't help but feel hurt and jealous but maintain his physical countenance

JASON

Jane I didn't say it's Mimie okay.. but I do have someone i fancy a lot.

She didn't say anything rather she just got up and left leaving Jason to his thoughts.Nathan had finished bathing and just finished heating the food too. So he dished his and Jason's

JASON

What is going on with this ladies? So she even has a man? Wao (Chuckles)

NATHAN

I thought I heard voices. Says Nathan as he enters the living room with two plates of food

JASON

Yeah it was Jane but she just left. (He hands him his own food) Thanks man.

NATHAN

Why didn't you help me with my own clothes? Hmmmmmmm damn this is so delicious

JASON

Wao like duper Wao. who would have thought Mimie of all people can cook this good?

NATHAN

Sharon was right all along

JASON

Absolutely. So what were you saying

about clothes?

NATHAN

I said,why didn't you help me with my own clothes when you were washing yours

JASON

I haven't washed any clothes

NATHAN

But your clothes are spread in the backyard

JASON

Wait (They looked at each when they figured out who did it)

NATHAN

Wao. No like seriously. ...... I don't know what to say man. She just killed my imaginations and I swear I will never judge a book from its cover ever again

JASON

I myself I'm speechless bro. I can't believe despite the way I treated her this morning she still did this

NATHAN

Enjoy the food bro she is good and I'm still perplexed.

THIS SCENE UNFOLDS IN MIMIE'S ROOM

Ever since the incident at Jason's place, Mimie has not been herself. She needs someone to confined in but she can't do it with either Jane nor Sharon so she decided to call Nadia

MIMIE

Hi Nadia how is the latest wife to be

in town doing ?

NADIA

I'm doing super great dorling how are

you?

MIMIE

I'm not fine Nadia. It's one of the

reasons I called.

NADIA

Tell me what's going on with you? (Mimie told her the whole story) wao, that's quite a story. So who was the first person to show her interest in this guy?

MIMIE

Jane was but he came for me

NADIA

Girl come on. Okay he came for you, but you ditched him and now when Jane shows interest in this guy, you go behind to do same.What does that make you? And trust me Mimie Jane will not like this one bit.

MIMIE

Gosh......but he said he isn't interested in dating nor love.

NADIA

Thank God he isn't. Please step back

because I do not want you to be the person you accuse Sharon of being

MIMIE

Wait when you say accuse does it mean

you do not believe Sharon lied about me to Carl?

NADIA

The truth is I do not believe. Yeah I know sharon is too much considering her way of acting and reacting to certain things but girl, she can be everything but definitely not that

trust me

MIMIE

So are you saying I've been wrong all this time ?

NADIA

All I'm saying is, do not rush into conclusions dorling okay?

MIMIE

Okay I've heard you. I gotta go Nadi do say me hi to Henry

NADIA

I will. Nice day and take care bye

MIMIE

Bye
