CAUGHT

WORK IT OUT

Onome was determined to behave matured in other not to cause a scene, hence she walked back to Tega's car and the entire heat of the argument died down. She could have insisted on driving her car to the market but then, the neighbours would have gathered to separate one of the biggest fight ever!

He got back into his car minutes later and like a bipolar child that she thought he was, smiled at her, hoping she would understand that he wanted her to be with him by all means.

The rest of the day was as she planned. They spent their time shopping. Onome ensured that they went to the mall to get some groceries and for the local items she needed to make local dishes, she asked him to drive her to the local market. She wanted him to see how exciting being a chaffuer is sarcastically.

"Didn't you see the items here?"  Tega asked as he reversed his car out of the parking lot of the mall.
"No, they don't have the type of starch I really want to use in making the Owo soup" Onome replied.

As Tega drove to the local market, he caressed her thigh with his left right hand, smiling. He was happy as long as he was with her. She highlighted at the local market as he looked for a spot to park the car. Onome bought all the food stuff items she needed whilst in great thoughts about Tega's character.

Yes he was clearly overjoyed to be by her side but his temperaments were uncontrollable she pondered. Such vices can make for a crappy spouse. Onome smiled to herself at how better she had become in handling the emotional matters of her life since she met Mrs Tolu.

She was so happy to have her by her side. Mrs Tolulope had explained the various temperaments and had told Onome not to try to control Tega but learn to understand him enough to walk away if she knew she couldn't handle the relationship. But would Tega agree?

She knew that would not be easy because deep down Tega loved her very much. She should be putting a distance between them but she failed miserably. But this weekend was not entirely a failure, she encouraged herself.

When they returned to the apartment, Tega helped her in bringing in the groceries and  slowly seduced her once again until she fell into his arms and they had sex. They showered together and she fixed them a quick meal of jollof rice and avocado pears. Tega left that Monday by 4 p.m.

He called her by 9pm that night that he was back in Ughelli and was at the Teg's Paradise (His resort). She was at peace at least that he arrived safely. She had never wished him dead,not once.

But this time, she was excited that he was far away from her. The next day as scheduled, she arrived at the psychologist's office.

Onome knew she needed to be talked to so, she braced herself or whatever Mrs Tolulope was going to say to her. Sitting in front of her as she was ushered into the office, she was so glad to see her.

"Hello Onome how are you?"
"I am fine ma!"
"Has your man left?"
"Yes he has ma, he has gone back to work thankfully!"
"Alright! There is no problem, so tell me how was the weekend?"
Onome heaved a sigh of relief as she tested her arms on the chair facing The psychologist.

"It was full of so many turbulent moments or should I say ups and downs" Onome said demonstrating with her hands.

Mrs Tolulope laughed out loudly. "Oh my Onome, am so proud of you,you could barely describe how you felt over situations a while ago, but look at you now, you can call a situation turbulent! That's impressive!"

"Wait until you see the thoughts that goes on inside my head". Onome added.
Mrs Tolulope laughed the more.

"So tell me why were you desperate to see me darling?"
