In Love With My Besties Hubby

Chapter 4. Manipulator Extraordinaire

Jason

it's been days already and I still can't find a place in my heart to forgive my self. Who knows how my poor Clarisse is taking all this. Oh God please forgive me.  How did I even get myself into all this.  

I was on my way to see Clarisse at her office three months  ago when I saw Lola's car packed two streets away from my destination. I reduced my speed and drove pass her but she bent her neck towards the car steering. I got worried, I hurriedly pulled over in front and rushed out of my car to check on her.

As I walked to towards her car, I thought about so many things that could have happened to her. I stood by the drivers door  and knocked on the window thrice. She slowly lifts up her face to see me.
When she confirmed my identity, she unlocked the car. Hearing the unlock sound I quickly turned around and moved over to the passengers seat.

I was really worried about her because she is my woman's best friend. I slightly twisted my neck to look at her. Oh my!! She has been weeping. 

"What is the problem Lola"?  
Lola can not seem to stop her tears as she looks at me and says; 

" My boyfriend is married with kids"

Huh? (I exclaimed in shock,  Men, when will y'all stop hurting good women? I say to myself). Oh I'm sorry about this Lola. She reaches for my hand and then leans on my chest then she speaks again. 

" I just borrowed him Two Million Naira because I thought he was about to start a business for our future"

( Do women actually give men money?  I think it's kinda rare.  I'm like)  You did what!!! Lola I'm sorry about all this but I promise to help you get your money back from that son of a bitch. This time Lola lifts her head away from me and hit her right hand on the steering twice. 

" Jason he just relocated, I dont even know where to find him" she manages to say. 

Oh my!!! only a coward will treat a woman like this. Lola please put your self together OK, we will talk about this. I was on my way to pick Clarrisse when I noticed your car.   Immediately she cuts in.

" please don't tell her anything about this"

( I'm thinking what's going on here why wouldn't Lola want her only friend to know about her predicament, aren't friends suppose to share stuffs. Well maybe she will tell her later). OK Lola I won't OK.  Get your car started I want to be sure you're good and out of here its almost 4pm. I pat her back and stepped out of the car.

This is exactly why women think that men are scum.  How can you deceive a woman to this extent and you end up getting paid for your deceit. 2 million box jeez this guy deserves an Oscar. I found my self laughing hard as I drove off.

*************************

Two days later Lola called me around 9pm she was crying bitterly over the phone. She said she needed someone talk to that she was emotionally depressed. Well I suggested she should talk with her friend Clarrisse maybe it would help her pull through but she refused and she told me its me she wants to talk to that she is contemplating suicide. what!!!  I told myself I need to do everything possible to help her out of this. I innocently asked for her location and she told me she was in her house I told her not to do anything stupid that I will be there in no time.

I quickly took my jean trousers from the couch in my room, grabbed my T-shirt  wore my converse and headed for Lola's house. It took me 15 minutes to get there. I gently tapped the door and she came out looking like shit. This sister has been crying all day.  She reached out her hand for me to hug her. I kinda hugged her but my hold wasn't as tight as hers.
