Chelsea; My Big, Fat, Fabulous Love By Nwachukwu Christopher Ishioma Avwerosuo

CHAPTER 19

 On Friday evening, In order to find out where her daughter was going to, during the weekend., Mrs. Okoro decided to call her daughter's best friend and roommate, Kevwe. Since Chelsea has never taken a day off, since she started working part time for her mother , except when she was in school or was sick , for the past month since she started to help her out again.

" Hello dear" Said Mrs. Okoro as Kevwe picked her call.

" Hi, Good morning Ma" Kevwe greeted her.

" How are you?" Chelsea's mum asked her.

" I'm fine mummy" Kevwe replied fondly since she has grown to love and take Chelsea's mum, like her own, " And you?" she asked.

" I'm fine dear, and how was business today" Mrs. Okoro asked.

" Business was fine, we thank you" She answered, " What about the supermarket?" Kevwe asked.

" It is going well, we bless God. So is Chelsea back from her shop?" Mrs. Okoro asked.

" Not yet Ma" Kevwe answered.

" Okay, that's fine. I just wanted to ask if you knew or had an ideal of where she is going this Saturday and if she is going with someone?" Chelsea's mum asked.

" I don't know about that's Kevwe answered.

" Okay, that is fine. Are you girls going out this weekend?" Mrs. Okoro asked, trying to get the information, Chelsea refused to give her anyway possible, and decided to get the information from Kevwe without asking her directly or why she was asking.

" We!?, No we are going no where, especially me. I want to rest this weekend. But I don't know if Chelsea has any plans this weekend, other than going to help you at the supermarket . I was even planning on asking her, that if she is not going to the supermarket this weekend, we should just watch a movie with me" Kevwe told her, " But why you asking?" she asked.

" I just wanted to know, that's all" Mrs. Okoro replied, "So you mean you guys are not going anywhere this weekend?" She asked again.

" Yes, Not anywhere I'm aware of" Kevwe answered, " I'm not going anywhere. But I thought Chelsea normally goes to the visit you and help out in the supermarket every weekend recently?, Or did she tell you that she was going somewhere else this weekend?" Kevwe asked Chelsea's mum.

" Yes, she said she needed the weekend off, so I just wanted to ask; if you had an ideal of where she was going and if she is going with, anyone, since she is not going with you" Said Chelsea's mum.

" Didn't she tell you where she was going to?" Kevwe asked her.

" No she didn't" Chelsea's mother answered.

" I don't know Ma, but when she gets back, I will asked her" Kevwe told her, " But you know my loyalty remains with her, if she say I shouldn't tell anyone, I wouldn't be able to tell, because I'm not a snitch and I don't snitch on friends, especially not on my best friend no offense" Kevwe apologize to her in advance.

" None taken, that shows you are good friend and I'mhappy she can confide in you, but if you notice anything wrong or unusual you have to inform, for her safety" Mrs. Okoro said to Kevwe.

" Yes, that's true. I will do just that" Kevwe agreed.

" Okay dear, thanks and have a nice day" Chelsea's mum said as she cuts the call.

As the front door opens Chelsea walks into the house.

" Hi, you are back, welcome" Kevwe greeted and welcome her with a hug.

" Yes I'm, thanks. How was work today?" Chelsea asked as she hugs Kevwe back.

" It was fine and yours?" Kevwe replied and asked, as they stopped hugging.
