MY SISTER'S LOVER

Chapter 1

I waited patiently for the call.
I kept on glancing on my phone every passing minute.
I couldn't help but continue thinking about my sister's words.
What was she thinking anyway?
But I had to do this for her sake. As they say, blood is thicker than water.
An hour had passed, but Sam hadn't called me. I had started to freak out. I picked my phone to inform my sister Judy that I wasn't gonna do whatever we had planned.
Before I could dial her number, Sam called.
"Hello Agnes, let's meet at Two Rivers Mall in the next thirty minutes. I won't be able to pick you up, am sending you some cash to call an Uber."
"Okay, thank you."
He hung up.
A minute later, my phone chimed. A message popped up on the screen.
It was an mpesa message.
I rushed to the bathroom and refreshed up.
I did a little make up and picked my clutch bag after calling my cab guy.
I found him waiting at the gate.
I gave him instructions and off we took off to our destination.
I was silent through out the journey. This one was quite a stupid idea and I was beginning to rethink my decision.
He parked at the basement parking of the mall and I paid him and requested him to come back immediately I text him.
I called Sam to let him know that I was already in the mall, heading to our meeting point.
He told me that he had already arrived at the venue.
I straightened my Dress and made up for the lift.
My heart was beating continuously, I even doubted my confidence. What was I thinking agreeing to Judy's crazy plan? If this day passed on well, if this day ended without casualties then I was never gonna agree to her plans , never again.
             ************
Judy is my elder sister.
She runs her own business.
She travels allover the world.
I am Agnes,  Judy's only sister. I just graduated the other month. I haven't been able to get a job.
I stay with Judy in her house in Muthaiga.
Our parents passed away, leaving the two of us alone.
Judy has been the best sister I have ever wished for. She has been there for me all through.
She has seen me through high school and campus.
Judy is currently out of the country on a business trip.
You might be wondering about Sam.
Yeah,right!
Sam is an engineer.
He is loaded.
Sam is my sister's fiancée.
They have been together for the last four years.
By the look of things, they *love each other*.
But there is one simple test....
A test which Judy thinks Sam might fail terribly.
A test of his love for her.
A test of his royalty.
A test of his endurance and commitment.
Will he pass?
Will he fail?
          ************
Sam sat at the corner, sipping on his glass of tropical juice.
I went and sat opposite him, after extending my hand to say hi.

"You look stunning today, what are you gonna take."
He asked me.
"Will order some coffee."
I replied.
He signaled the waiter and send him to bring me my coffee.
The waiter is taking long to bring my coffee. I am fidgeting. I am afraid Sam might start a conversation.
Finally, my coffee is served.
I concentrate on my cup, trying as much as possible to evade Sam's possible gaze.
The moment is tense.
I don't want him to start a conversation.
I sip on my coffee, taking breaks to bite on my nails, whenever he is not looking. That's how nervous I am.
Finally, he breaks the silence.
       *************"
Sam seems to have swallowed the bait. I am still wondering what would happen if he falls for the trap. The thought itself makes my intestines churn.
The thought itself makes me feel like throwing up. But I gat to do this one for my only sister.
"Agnes, I want you to do something for me. I am leaving to China tomorrow and I want you to help me with something."
"What is it siz, anything for you."
She laid down the strategy in front of me but I was really adamant.
What if everything backfires?
I couldn't stop asking myself.
"I don't think this one will be possible. Hell no! Anything else but not this one!"
"Either this or nothing else Agnes. Only this once and I will never bother you again."
"Its OK. I will do exactly that but rest assured that am never doing this again. Never!"

"Hi Sam, I would love to hang out with you and have a share of the fun my sister gets😏😏😏"
Message sent.
Delivered.
The day was Here.
Sam had swallowed the whole bait.
I was about to break the rules.

"Tell me Aggy, did you mean it? I mean, your text, were you sobber while sending it or you were under influence of something?"
I looked at Sam.
His gaze was fixed on his glass of juice.
"Yeah, I was serious, very serious."
I replied.
He lifted his head and eyed me suspiciously.
"You are kidding me right? I am your sister's fiancée, you know? I might plan to call her and tell on you!"
"Really now? I don't care if you do but all I care about is you. Do u know whom she is with in China?"
He looked at me scornfully, his eyes turning red immediately.
"Is there something you are not telling me Aggy? Is Judy cheating on me? Does she have another man in her life?"
He eyed me pitifully.
I was holding back my laughter.
I almost chocked in it.
"Not at all. I just wanted to let you known that anything is possible. Though, I was just kidding."
"If that's your idea of a joke, you must be a great comedian!"
We chat and chat until late in the night. He offers to drop me but I refuse, citing the fact that we might be seen by someone who knows my siz and report to her.
I call my cab guy and he arrives within no time. Before o leave, Sam requests to have another date with me before my siz comes back. I told him that I was gonna call him and give him a date.
Upon arriving home, I text Judy to let her know that I am home already.
We chat as I tell her everything about the date. We say our goodbyes and I switch off the telly and head to my bedroom after ensuring all the doors are locked.
I slump on the bed and it doesn't take me a lot of time to sleep....
