DEMONS YOU MADE

Malik.

As I walked into the shopping mall to get groceries because unfortunately it was my turn to go grocery shopping. I saw two familiar figures standing so close together and shopping. The lady was on a red jumpsuit, she looked alluring as a model. It took me a moment to realise it was Tega and Nadia. What the actual fuck?!!

So my suspicions were true. But why the fuck would Tega go behind his so-called best friend's back so as to take his girlfriend. Truly, never trust no one.

The lady stretched a bit and soon her lips were on his. Tega smiled afterwards. I had no idea why I did this, but I brought out my phone and took a picture of them.

They kept on displaying stupid affections and the bastard kept grinning like the backstabbing idiot he was. I felt my hand ball into a fist. I just felt like walking up to him and punching the living daylight out of him. But I've never been known to act irrational.

I just wonder how a friend could be so cruel as this? He destroyed their relationship and here, he was going on stupid dates with his best friend's girlfriend, while Alex was eating himself up, blaming himself and being a shadow of himself. And the worst is how the idiot kept smiling and playing and advising Alex when he was the reason for his pain.

How cruel can the heart of a man be?? Just for a lady?? A woman?

I walked away unable to watch them again without the urge to kill him. I went to the grocery section and got what we needed. When I was sure everything on the list was available, I went to the counter and paid for the bills. I took my shopping bag and was about entering into my car, when I saw Tega opening the front passenger door for Nadia to sit. He closed it and went back to his driver's side and he drove off smiling.

Must be pretty proud of himself...*scoff* fucking bastard.

I entered into my sports car and drove off. That fucking bastard will have to explain himself later. I drove with so much anger fueling in me. It's a miracle I got to my apartment without an accident. I dragged the bag out of the car, running on the staircase to my own flat.

I used my keys to open the door. I got inside sighing in relief. I slumped on the sofa trying to catch my breath, when I heard.

"Were you forced by a stranger to run a marathon?" I could hear the amusement in his voice if only he knew. Why did he have to be home? I wanted to collect myself before he showed up. Should I tell him? Nahh ....he won't believe me. His own best friend.  I need proof. I suddenly remembered the picture I took..nahh, it's not enough.

It looked like I was making up excuses not to tell him. But it's because I, myself still find it hard to believe what I saw. But seriously Tega? How could....?

"MJ...you sure you're okay?" I heard Alex say and I realized he was still in the room.

"Urhm...yeah yeah. I just zoned out for a minute. I'll take this to the kitchen." I said referring to the grocery bags. He squinted his eyes trying to read me. He does that a lot. I hurriedly stood up and left into the kitchen.

I arranged everything in it's right position. I went into my room afterwards. I needed to think seriously.

A week later, Jemmy called me and told me she was in a salon and I should help her bring food since I was around that area. I went to the beach with Alex and Femi. Tega said he couldn't make it that his mother was sick and he had to be in the hospital. We sent our greetings to his mom.

"What does Jemmy want this time? That girl can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Why did she have to come back from her trip." Femi said hissing. He wasn't really a fan of my sister.
