An honest love to taste. when love said never yet love said ever will I be alone. I need a little taste of that amazed moments.
Chapter One
Matt continuous gaze at her throws her off balance and she began to behave weird in a way that she can not comport herself anymore. She was more embarrassed when a girl of thirteen years walked up to her and said "ma'am, is like that brother is admiring your beauty... why don't walk up to him and know what he wants". This word admonished her that she had to leave the scene and hop into her car. Still in her car she couldn't drove out but ponder what prompted the teenager into such attitude. As she was there wondering, there was a knock on her screen and she wined down and it was Matt looking at her with his eyes fixed on her and smiles on his face. It seems you're in a hurry that you forgot to pick up all the items you paid.. anyways here there are. Linda was taken aback at first and keep gazing at him with her mouth wide open. On getting herself, she said anyways, I didn't forgot them am about to come and pick them when you showed up. You can give them to me; thanks anyway. She stretched her hand and collected them from him. Showing an alluring smile. Matt proceeded, by the way my name is Matt Leich. I think we have come across each for like if not mistaken two times now and this is the third time. Really! Exclaimed Linda. Well is a small world, people got to meet people that the nature of the world we are into. Yes- exactly, said Matt. May I Know you more like he stuttered in a low tone when Linda stared at him an smile. He paused for a second, and it down on him that this is the only chance he has to introduce himself and prove to her that he wants her and his man enough to stand by her. I mean, I would like to know each other more when I mean more I mean exploring in each other's life and beyond he proceeded. I wouldn't want the chance that I got to elapse so am taking my time full. Linda chuckled and looked at him romantically. Anyways, you keep insisting and not because am interested in what you want but because I have an important event to catch up. So, am gonna just do as if I have buy into what you are saying to free myself from this. She said these word enthusiastically and with body gesture too that shows that she wants him too but she never knew that her countenance had said it all. Matt keep nodding and smiling at her with no words from but so optimistic. So am going to give you my contact to save my time and also to save from standing- because you've stand alot. your legs might be aching you by now. She said frantically and gave him a welcome smile. She does this because she doesn't want to keep him standing and she beginning to realize that love could still favour again. They exchange contact and Matt waved at her as she drove off and entered his and drove straight to his resident.
Chapter Two
Meanwhile, is Jane's birthday and calibers of personality attended her birthday because she was a prominent lady and also a royal. Jade is always flirting with every kind of person that comes her way; why don't she have self respect and taste too.Is abhorring seeing her with those good for nothing people and...Judith said Clara as she interrupted her. Jade is of age, she is not a baby and she knows what she wants besides everyone is chilling and you're busy medaling in her affairs. Just stop this it doesn't tell well of your personality please. So you are actually not gonna see what wrong with the life she is living and give a piece of advice she raged.This act of raging made Clara to react back furiously and there was a crash at the party that drew people's attention. The party didn't end as Jane expected and most people kept murmuring witty words as they made their way out. Linda was silent through out the whole party as she doesn't want to side anyone so as to prevent collision.
I hate you Judith for telling my friend Jade such words to her face that she is a w***e, how could you have thought of her like such and even get the nerve to say them. Jane said as she walked into Judith room furiously. This is my birthday party Judith and this the gift you decided to give me on my birthday. Jade is living that awkward life is her business not yours and if you feel like is making you unhealthy the best way would be to walk up to her and talk to her face to face and not body shaming her in public and telling people how bad or imperfect she is. I didn't know you to be this horrible. There was silent from Judith side and all along her head was low and she was so disappointed in her self for acting such way. Jane continued, Jade is embarrassed because of you and you feel so big to say sorry or to at least feel a little remorseful of this action of yours. Because if you did you should have go out there and make things right but instead you walked straight into your room and make yourself comfortable with a wine. Take a look at you Judith,you think you have it all and you think your life is perfect but no girl because after all said and done we will feel it in one way or the other. Yes her boyfriend was there and because of this action he break all ties with her and the poor girl that has been looking for love for decade was left to square one again. It will reach every one of us...one day, the cat will be let out of the net. She turned to Clara and said,"even you Clara you joined this girl to cause my friend pain. Hope all of you are now happy because...she was interjected by Clara. Please, Jane first of all am not a partner in this , secondly this act is the last thing I could ever think of doing. Thirdly, In what ever you are doing or saying don't make it personal. I know Jade is a very close friend likewise Judith. Yes she said those hurtful words to her, let's not repeat the same rather make things right. Judith drinks alot you and I and Linda can attest to that. Her actions could be out of alcoholic intoxication because normal Judith can never act in such weird way as she does today. You should have analyze everything before choosing side and besides all of are friends. You talking like this emphatically means we hate her and never want her happy. If Tochi loves her he would have stayed and defended her and not the other way round. This incident has alot to tell. Alot of red flags from our prominent friends as we said they are but never have regards to us. Take a look at it... Judith is not saying a word to you unlike her and you have refuse to find us useful to you . We are all friends , we suppose to care for each other first before people's opinion. Let Judith rest she is in bad shape, let's lie her down and make some coffee for her and let's find a way to calm Jade down and not to make her weary in all these. Jane I think Clara is right contributed Linda as she held Jane's hand. Is okay, we can fight this rightly and come out clean without ruining the relationship we all share. At this moment Jane started feeling bad and said is true you guys are right I didn't consider those things first because I was raged. Am so happy that you guys call me back to my senses. She looked at Judith and said"look at her looking so down casted and off. Let's quickly make a coffee for her and lie her down". They made a coffee for her and force to have a gulp of it after they lied her down and left to check up on Jade who was in Jane's room all alone.
Jade was in dismay when the entrance door opened and Jane fleet to her and held her by the arm caressing her back and said"Jade look all of us are here to make sure you are in good state. Please friend stop weeping for your tear is tearing my spirit. Everything that happened today is unintentional and non of us are happy about that...but Judith is ecstatic about the whole thing and never felt remorse over all the filthy things she said of me. I know am not a good girl,am away of all the rubbish I have been taking all in the name to find true love. I have passed through heart break upon heart break. You think is easy for me- no!
Is not... because I wear the shoe and I know where it pains most. Am just not good at anything I know nobody should remind me of that...no! don't say those hurtful words to yourself again not in my presence. Linda said simultaneously to her as she held her hand and wipe her tears. Nobody worth your tears darling and in the mist of this we love you no matter how ugly your life style is. Non of us ever wish you bad and besides Judith is under the influence of alcohol when she said those words to you. Believe me she didn't know what she said and can't even account for what happened today. Is appealing to everyone that she said that and then we find out that she was drunk. Just blame it on the alcohol. Linda you are just siding her and as long as am alive this remain a scar in my life. Please Jade don't take it that way, Linda is so right and Judith I know will never alter such words to you is not her life style shipped in Clara. All the while, Jane was so quiet and was only staring at them helplessly. I knew it from the word go that all of you will employ a means to defend her actions; you see, is now alcohol that took the whole blame...she cleaned her tears and bellowed" a need to be in state of solitude please. Every one of you should not bother to think of my state. I will be fine, she turned to Jane, girlfriend if you want me to leave your house I will leave gladly. I don't want to be a burden to anyone please. She said wailing. Jane rushed to her and grab her from the floor and both she and the other girls helped in making her stand and help her to sit on a sofa. Jade, am sorry that all this happened but believe me nd my friends Judith is not in her right manner and we will make sure nobody speaks of this incident again. Jane said mumbling as year ran down her cheek. We can do this together and I promise you all will be fine. This breaks Jade emotionally and she said to them"okay I have heard you and I forgive her because am not worthy to bear grudges. She exhaled and gaze at them and smile and pause. "I just learnt from this that Tochi is just here because of the benefits and nothing more. Life has taught me alot honestly and I will continue to emerge to greatness regardless. I just need to make some changes in my life... please guys I need to excuse myself awhile and make this call is very important. Linda frantically said while jading. Ohh, they all exclaimed following a hilarious comments and laughter. We understand dear just take your time as long as something good. We pray it will last- mean that man will be a good one that will last Jane said.
Linda smiled and exited the room.
Chapter Three
At the balcony in Linda's room was she on the phone with Matt. She was so filled with laughter as everything he said is hilarious to her. For a moment happiness filled her life again and she was so taken away by the conversation on the phone that she didn't realize when it was pass three in the morning. She was amazed that they talked over the phone for hours and she begged him to allow her retire to bed. Which he did and both exchange pleasantries and bide each other lovely night. On the bed was Linda staring at the ceiling and admiring the handsomeness of Matt. " am I dreaming, this looks real...is like a new dawn and heaven has smiled at me again. This is the first time I has had this kind of long conversation in my life and it feel so real and intact. I feel possess and loved for the first time. She giggled and said I pray it last forever that guy is so cute...I love him already but I need not to show it to him so that he will be the one commiting and make sacrifice in the relationship. She said a prayer and dozed off. The flattering words from the next door woke her up and she made her way to Judith room and found all four sitting together with a cup of tea and a toasted bread and egg sauce. See this one- waking up around ten am. Isn't this weird for the first time you slept like a human being said Clara and something must be behind this early morning glowing. Talk to us said Jade did someone this the question. There was a loud applause from Jane and they began to celebrate something Linda can not phantom. I don't understand why you guys are so happy this morning said Linda. If there is a good news I would love to partake in it. I want good news as well she said poking at them. This this one said Clara hilariously, this one that love almost drown yesterday till this early morning that it decided to release her she is now surprise over her own case. We saw how happy you're and decided to retire to bed without bothering you...I don't understand Linda interjected. I was in my room not the sitting room so how do you guys saw me. She didn't even noticed when we walked into her room said Jane laughing. That bond is very strong ooo just don't loose your whole nut- they all giggled and toast to a better future and an ever lasting love. I will definitely tell my story and it will end well said Linda weeping as she sat on the sofa beside her. Am already seeing positivity in this new relationship that is about to emerge. I could see the whole picture of that faithful day I was broken down by Barnadus and life was like a mess to me. He was there trying to cheer me up but am in the verge of annoyance and I didn't noticed his good side and handsomeness you know, she chuckled and clean her eyes with her palm. I could not explain it if I had lost him and I almost did but his persistence brought light into my life. They all join in her happiness and after a while decided to go on a picnic together just to cheer each other up and to build hope in each other too.
Chapter four
Barnadus was troubled over the silent of Linda on him and for the bulk of unreplied messages he sent to her. This is unlike Linda, what could be wrong that she got the nerve to stay mute on me. He pondered. His office door opened and it was Charity his lover who had decided to pay him a surprised visit. The sight of her gave him stomach ache and he hissed. He formed busy and refused to look at her face or complimented on her conspicuous appearance. She made her way to him and started caressing him in other to arouse him but he gave not attention to those feelings. What is wrong bae she said, you don't look happy. Is there anything wrong...yes her interjected her. Yes! your presence here is the matter. This is my working place for crying out loud I have told you time without number to stop showing up here. But I need you, for the pass days you have not be giving me full attention and have not bothered to come over to my place. And so, is it a criteria that I showed up to your place or give you attention he said cruelty. Look am damn serious, don't come here uninvited and besides, this is my working place you are literally wishing me bad luck already. This words angered Charity that she took her bag and use the exit door without a word. Better for you at least you learn to give yourself self respect Barnadus murmured. He then slumped on his chair and busied himself with so many thought.
At the love garden Jade bumped into Tochi with another lady. She wanted to create a scene then remembered the promised she made to herself and calmed down. Instead she changed the topic"seems like you got a new catch. She is damn hot and beautiful. She's can play well on a bed and mourn for you till day break. You really have a wild test, you have spoiled Tochi, look the kind of meat you love eating. So big and fresh and spotless. But my fear is can she last well on the bed as you always wanted. It will be weird if she is half bit and can't satisfy you well. She said these hovering around them like bird. These words got the lady angry that she started making some body gesture that she is no longer comfortable with him. He became furious and rebuked Jade to shut her mouth but she was deep in her words and decided not to care about the outcome at all. The lady got up and left and Tochi ran after her but was so disappointed when the lady turn down his proposal which she accepted before and threw off the engagement ring from her ring finger. He pleaded but to no avail then he returned back inside only for him to discovered that Jade and her crew are no more there. Ahh.. he screamed! I will so deal with her. he left the garden anxiously. Meanwhile Jade and her crew were on the other side of the garden taking a sip of the chilled wine. The silent was broke by Jade " imagine all these while he was with me he is seeing another girl. So am the side chick while this thing is the main chick. Am so down right now, why did I even bump into him like why? Jade is okay Linda said, if love could find me it will find you too. Just don't give up be strong my love. They all encourage her and Linda left them after receiving a call from Matt. Clara later leave to see her Fiance Joe. So Judith, Jane and Jade were left in the bar. Not too long ago Adam approached Judith and took her away from their mist. Jane who had never heard a relationship was astound by everything happening that she began to feel the need to belong. So the two good friends were left alone in the love garden so they decided to go buy each other good gift and spoiled themselves. They went out bought some edibles and clothes for themselves and it was on their way to visit an old orphanage that they met two twin brothers who were on the road side look elegant but very disappointed. The senior is Jude, the other is James as they introduced themselves to the girls and inquired whether they are twin two Jane who had Fallen in love with James shouted yes. Jade was so shocked but decided to buy into the idea after all they are good friends. Really...a glimpse of happiness filled the young men faces. "Really, so this is fate, I had never seen such in my life, said Jude. The two ladies were mute and cover up every act with a smile. James asked the ladies what prompted them into stopping their car when they see them but they only said they feel like they need help that why they come down to help but is like is the other way round. Jude told them that today supposed to be his wedding day but he caught his fiancee in the church having s*x with his ex in his car. So was so raged that he left the church and cancel the wedding. Jade was so touched that held his hand and told him not to give up that love will come. Immediately Jude was light up and he said to her will you be my all and I will never play with your heart. Jade was taken aback and she ran off from him. She entered the car and beckoned on Jane who didn't want to leave James to come let them go. The twins watched them drove off and Jude was astonishing by Jade's beautiful eyes and lips.
Chapter Five
Linda brought a good news home to her friends that she would be getting married soon. Everyone was so happy for her as this is their prayer. "I never knew good men exist until when I met Matt. He is such a gentle man. The past two months with him had been a blessing to me and my family. Matt bought me a car and is still in his house. I never knew that Matt is a hidden billionaire untill two days ago that he took me to his parents. Matt is a prince and they are so influential. Linda was counting her blessings one by one when Clara said that's what it means to be patient and to have faith. Is a good definition of trusting in what God can do my love. I tell you, said Jade. The Jude guy was as if God kept him for me particularly but am still doing a little flirting for him. So we have two weddings to plan yours Linda and Clara's. This is getting interested, said Judith. Anyways, I ran into Barnadus in the market today guess what he asked me. Linda he vehemently keep asking me to beg you to accept him back but I told him to leave that you're happy where you are now. He still insist though and said he will come over today and wait till he sees you. You never stay home nawadays, you are on and off. Matt has taken over you entirely.
Yes, I have finally find happiness in full measure and the last thing I need now is distraction. Said Linda as she started packing her remaining belongings. I just want to leave immediately don't want to behold that monster's face. She paused and gave a shocking gesture to them. What! inquired Judith,you look lost or is there something you want to tell us. My dear, she said to Judith, I forgot to tell you guys that I ran into Charity three weeks ago and she was acting like a mad dog... excuse me, who is Charity asked Jade anxiously. Ohhh dear, Linda said, Charity is Barnadus lover. The lady that has been keeping Barnadus bed warm. I never knew she would be so desperate and annoying at the same time. She was vehemently pleading that I leave him for her and that there are so many men out there who are willing to tolerate me. Like, she said alot and I least expected that from her irrespective of the rank she puts herself she still come and begged me just for this unfaithful scumbag. I felt for her initially because she didn't deserve a cheat like him then on second thought I recalled she was the one that separated me and him. But am happy anyways because she did a great job by pushing me into my soul mate. I promised her that I would never accept him back or have any business with him. I told her I have moved on since and my life is filled with blessings. Though I gave her a little advice to look for a better man and to move on with her career no matter how difficult it seems now, that having a man is not the root of her happiness that she needs to find happiness within her first. I think she keen into my words because she called me last four days ago telling me she got a new job that pays well and her boss is actually giving her green light...wow! scream Clara. Anyways, good for her, thanks goodness she keen to your words and decided to move on if not by now she will be running mad over Barnadus attitude. By the way, I need to go get my wedding dress from Chichi. I will also check up on my mom from there to work. See you guys any time you see me. She turned to Linda and said, well life always gives us the best when we hand it over to the supreme being. See how lucky your life has become and becareful out there and be bold enough to give in the best. I know when I will be back I may not see you but we will always keep in touch. "Awwww! Clara we will never be apart- just know that I love you all". Linda said. Anyways what am concern about is that ending part of Charity story you told. She stabbed you and wanted to take him but all her aim flopped then she heed to your advice and luck shine on her. you see life is very simple when we remove pride and arrogance. On this junction I must say she played her wing well. And as for Barnadus; this is the beginning of his nemesis. Judith said grieving. Jade and Jane echoed, sure he is yet to see more. Judith continued, am ending all ties with Adam. He is not serious with settling down and more over I can't condone is attitude again. Everyone of them was in awe as this is the least of the things they expected from her being that she always brag about how healthy her relationship is and always put everyone of them in despair and worry on when to find true love. This throw Clara off and she appeared awkward because Judith was the one that pushed her into wanting to get married to Joe with her pride and talks of how Adam do this, Adam do that, me and Adam are planning to settle down. She was more confused after knowing that all this are sentiment and empty words. Linda stood from the seat and said" all I can say is this; go where your heart lies and just take your time dear". Then she left the room with her stuffs and head to her car. Jane and Jade were freeze as well but they don't take it that far as Clara did. Clara still was in confused state and was silent all the while. In her mind were so many thought." how was she able to manipulate me all these years and how do I not notice that she is living a fake life. How did she even become my best friend. She introduced me to Joe as her friend but their interaction doesn't show that; could she still be hiding something...Clara, what is wrong and why are you so cold asked Jane as she interjected. " am fine and I think I should be going, have alot to do today". She said without looking at any of them, grab her bag and swift from the room. Jade and Jane exchange eye contact and shrugged and said to Judith"we have a lot of activities to do today we should be going as well" They exited from the room leaving only Judith behind. "Well everyone is finding happiness Judith will not be left out. Look at Joe all of a sudden decided to get married to Clara I don't blame him for how many years we have been together he never take me serious. Now he is getting married" She soliloquy as she tapped her foot on the floor and sway around.
Chapter Six
It was on 22nd May, the D day that Linda had long be waiting for. Everyone was seated in the church and the procession began. After the preaching from the priest, he proceeded into asking if there was anyone who thinks the wedding should not proceed and no one altered a word. The marriage vows were exchanged and Linda and Matt were pronounce husband and wife. They both signed together with witnesses. From their everyone was taken to reception and entertainment was shared. Linda and her hubby left happily together with their guests. Jane had to go with James as she invited him too, the same is applicable to Jade as both behaves like twin. Jude was not left out. He drove Jade back to the new apartment he rented for her as he never approved of her staying with her friends but choose to give her privacy. Judith was devastated after seeing this that she hissed at them.
