Chapter 4 Episode 4

I came back from church to meet Lucy.

She didn't care to call me, I said and got down from the car.

I removed my keys and threw it at Lucy and locked the car.

I knew your gateman will be around that's why I didn't bother calling before coming, Lucy replied and unlocked the front door.

I followed Lucy into the house smiling.

As if you don't know that I lock my door and take my key when going out. My gateman responsibility is at the gate and gatehouse not in my apartment, I replied.

Whatever, Lucy sighed.

Hope I didn't keep you waiting for too long? I asked.

I turned and looked at Lucy when I didn't get very reply.

You look moody, anything wrong? I asked.

Hmm. I'm fine, Lucy said and collapsed on the sofa.

Too dull to be fine, I said.

I walked to Lucy and caressed her cheeks, she hit off my hand.

Guess what? I asked.

I'm not in the mood to guess, Lucy said absentminded.

Raymond spent Friday night and yesterday here. In fact I even dropped him off this morning before going to church, I whimpered with a grin.

So what happened? Lucy asked.

Yesterday was so much fun. No dull moment. Even at night, he wasn't dull, I said.

Baby you just met this guy. It is only a week you met him. Don't you think it is too early to bring him to your house and jump into bed with him? Lucy asked.

What's that supposed to mean? I asked.

It is even because of this guy that I came. Listen to me Nora, give it time. He is good looking I know but control yourself and study him...

I should give it time so you will snatch him, I cut in.

I love my boyfriend. To me my boyfriend is the most handsome guy in the world. I can never leave him for Raymond, Lucy said.

I saw the way you looked at Raymond at the party, I replied.

Thank God you saw. I feel weird about that guy..

You don't just hate people you don't know, I replied.

Nora..

Hold it there. If you came here to talk about Raymond, please start going. I don't like what I hate. Jeremy and Martha do not have a problem with him except you. Just keep your advice please, I screamed.

Your boyfriend "Danny" how long did it take you before you landed in bed with him? Stop being bitter, I added.

We are friends. A friend that doesn't advice her friend isn't a true friend, Lucy quoted.

Take your advice and leave my house, I commanded.

No oh. It hasn't reached such extent. Raymond is the best guy for you. I'm sorry, Lucy apologized with a feigned smile.

I hope you subscribed your decoder, I want to watch zee world and what did you cook? Lucy blurted.

I hissed and headed up the stairs.
