EPISODE 5
.
I was restless all night long as I wondered what
could be going on in Clara’s mind. I equally
couldn’t help but wonder what Vivian’s game
plan was all about. I was scared of losing my
job for nothing and I knew I had to be extremely
cautious when dealing with the two ladies
because no matter how matured they looked,
they still had a very fragile mind.
8am, the next day
As I headed to the dining room for breakfast, I
ran into Vivian who smiled as soon as her eyes
fell on me.
‘’I know I embarrassed myself yesterday. I’m so
sorry’’ she apologized.
‘’oh it’s nothing’’ I answered politely, feeling
relaxed.
‘’so we are cool with each other then?’’ she
asked while I nodded. We headed to
the dining room where Clara was waiting. To be
sincere  I was very nervous and a bit
uncomfortable having breakfast with the two
ladies but I had my cover to protect and had to
act cool.
‘’You know I still find it difficult remembering you
or your family?’’ Clara kind of asked as we faced
the meal before us. Vivian quickly came to my
rescue.
‘’Don’t tell me you are really yet to figure out
Val’s identity?. How come you allowed him to
come here with us then?’’ she asked Clara who
rolled her eyes.
‘’I’m sorry; it’s just that I need help in getting it
together. He looks like the son of our family
friend way back  but it’s a long time
ago now. I guess 2004 period or so. I just want
to be very sure’’ she insisted.
‘’But we have already discussed this issue in
your room. Come on where are your manners?.
Don’t you know you are embarrassing him?’’
Vivian pushed on.
‘’I’m so sorry Val. It’s just that I already forgot
most of my childhood memories but concerning
the job thing, I promise to talk to my dad about
it. He will definitely get something for you before
the week runs out. I promise you that’’ she
assured me as I giggled. Of course
there was nothing there to say. Vivian on her
own part gave me a knowing look filled with
unspoken words which I clearly understood. We
were surely using Clara’s head without her
knowing it. But it was all for her own good. My
only problem and fear was Vivian who could
eventually turn back to use all the secrets and
lies against me.
‘’aww I have to go get more sauce’’ Vivian
suddenly burst out as she stood up.
.
‘’I will be back in a jiffy’’ she added and headed
to the kitchen while Clara and I exchanged
glances.
‘’she’s so much in love with you. Tell me the
truth, you guys are dating right?’’ she asked
curiously.
‘’no we are not’’ I truthfully answered, but
instead of her concentrating on eating her food she left her eyes on
me waiting for me to explain further. And I had
to come up with a pretty good defense.
‘’You see in my condition I can’t afford to be in
any relationship. I have nothing to offer anyone
and I can’t just take advantage of a beautiful
and nice girl like Vivian because of my
selfishness or maybe what I stood to gain from
her. Secondly i have no special feelings for her. I
value her friendship and care but that’s it. I
can’t deceive her and pretend to love her only
for us to end up hating each other tomorrow.
She’s way better off without me. She deserves
the best guy. My priority now is to make out
something for myself’’ I softly explained while
she dropped her eyes as if my words found a
place in her heart. It was just as if she was so
touched.
Vivian showed up from the kitchen that very
moment and stared at us with suspicion. It was
just as if she perceived something, she noticed
something that made her uncomfortable.
Yes I really had no strong feelings for Vivian but
supposing we met in a different circumstance or
position perhaps I would have gladly tried her
out but in this situation I couldn’t risk it. What I
felt for her wasn’t just enough to risk my job
and career for.
