FATE

79 - Our Relationship

Lily's POV

I was in my baby's nursery, sitted on a comfy chair that was covered with pink cloth. Nancy stood by the dressing mirror, helping me as I folded some clothes.

I held a pink lace baby dress with a striking intricate design. It was the one that Nancy gifted our baby.

"Nancy I can't believe you bought this dress." I held it up for her to see.

She gave a sarcastic smile. "What's that supposed to mean. That I'm poor or what?" She tried hard to change her facial expression to look angry.

"No." I raised my hands up in surrender. "It just costs a lot and I am worried for you." I neatly hanged the dress. This dress was too good to be folded.

I looked up to see an angry Nancy.

I didn't know that would make her angry. I was only looking out for her. Nancy was like the 'dad' to her siblings so she had a lot of bills to settle.

"Oya sorry now. I didn't know that will make you angry. I was only..." I twisted my lip to side when I realised I shouldn't be making excuse and just be sorry. "I'm sorry." I finished off.

Nancy hissed. "I don't like this. Stop pitying me. You've done a lot for me, now it's my turn to do something for you. Please." She begged me with her eyes.

I was about to agree with her when Tessa stormed in.

"Guys!" She screamed, her heels clicking as she walked. I covered my ears with my hand immediately.

"Seriously?" I gave her that look and she shrugged. The next thing was her sitting on the dressing table. Hell I don't even know how she jumped on it.

"Don't break the table." Nancy warned giving her a displeasing look.

She huffed. "Whatever." She crossed her legs. "What are you guys up to?"

Nancy rolled her eyes and shifted her gaze to the clothes lying on the bed, scatterd. "As you can see."

"Lilly what is Lemuel up to?" Tessa asked and I was taken back.

Nancy crossed her arms. "Apparently he left, saying he had an appointment ."

Tessa breathed hard. "Hmmm. I know why am asking." She looked Ms straight in the eye.

Nancy got impatient.
"Tessa what's the meaning of all this? Just go straight to what you have to say." She fired at her.

"Okay, okay fine." She agreed. "I know I am not supposed to say it like this, but, hmm" She paused.

I hissed from frustration. "Okay well. Eva is in town."

Eva.

Hmmm.

My ex best friend.

"So how does that concern me?"

Tessa gave an evil laugh before regaining composure.

"It concerns you. Very, VERY, very, well." She laughed again. "Because history is about to repeat itself."

I wax perplexed. "I don't understand." Nancy spoke up. Thanks for that help sis.

Tessa exhaled deeply. "Eva is after your man. I saw them having drinks today. It's not the first time, neither is it the second. They usually don't see me. The other time was in a club. Lilly there is more to it than it seems because the way Eva looks at Lemuel. It just doesn't make sense. She wants to get him, maybe because she likes him or probably because she knows he is yours and wants to take him away from you. I don't know what their relationship might be or how they met, but I just thought to tell you. Lemuel is a good guy and I don't want you to lose him and to Eva at that.. I..."
