The Video

Heyoooo, I just want to make my readers happy so please comment on any issues you have with the book cause this is my first. I'll try to bring a better book from your contributions. Thank you 😁

I asked with a hard gulp and a calm tone" Joan what is going on? " I asked.

" There's a video Sharon. A FREAKING VIDEO. " Joan said.

At this point I almost laughed until I saw her expression. Is this a prank or not? But I already felt relieved I thought someone had died.

" Okay show me the video." I said expecting a cat video. She brought out her phone and went to a blog that i had never seen before and she scrolled through and finally she stopped and handed me her phone, the video played a I saw myself and Justin from last night. I was surprised, weak. Although not so much content was shown from the angle of the camera, but people had seen it, it had gone viral with a thousand views and counting,  just overnight. That's why I felt somehow today, that's why my employees looked at me like that, this sums it all up.

The world could see I the role model, the angel, the successful one had fallen. I was angry, ashamed and guilty of this crime. My dark secret was out the whole world is seeing it soon who knows, this generation kids would use it as a meme to torment my social life.

I slipped into my chair like a banana, my parents would kill me. Is this what I left Africa, to do? To bring shame to them? I was confused, did Justin stoop so low to do this to me?To video our moment and post it?

So many questions I needed to visit my therapist, I couldn't handle it. My parents would soon start calling me and asking questions. I needed to run but where?

Joan finally said something that stopped my endless thinking. " We need a solution, Sharon. We can say it's fake and someone edited it. But it looks so real. " She said contemplating with her thoughts "Sharon is this video real by the way? Who is he? Do you guys want to marry?" Then she whispered "I hope your not pregnant?"

I couldn't believe her question but she deserves answers so I answered "Yes it's real, his a hired whatever and I pay him a lot so he doesn't bring diseases from other people, no we're not thinking of marriage, it's just his job, and I'm not pregnant."

"So why didn't you tell me? "

"It is embarrassing and something I regret but I needed it."

"I thought we were sisters not technically but we tell each other everything."

"I know I messed up."

"You did big time but we need a solution cause the views keep increasing."
