Till I met you ✅

Chapter eighteen

I was walking down a street when I heard someone shouting my name. "Aunty leah", I turned round to the side where the voice was coming from but found no one. I look left and right but still no one was found.

"Where am I", I asked myself

There, I saw a guy at my back. He was tall and a bit fair. He had a wicked smirk on his lips.

Who the fvck is that!

The more steps I took, the closer the guy came further to me. Then my legs started racing really fast. I was scared, really scared. The more I ran, the more the guy was close.

What do I do now!

"Help", I screamed out loudly in hope someone was going to help me but to my surprise no one to my rescue.

"I don't want to die, at least not now", I began crying.

I was still running when I slipped. I was about to stand when a hand grabbed me by my wrist. I looked up only to see the same guy grinning like a child who found his candy.

"Who are you", I managed to ask.

He just laughed!

Please don't kill me, I beg you!

"I won't kill you only if you come with me. You are mine", with that he gave a wicked laugh.

He lifted me up in a bridal style and grinned. I won't hurt you baby because you are mine!

What a psycho!

Immediately he looked at me, his eyes turned red. I couldn't help but scream.

Help! Help! Help! Somebody please help me!

"Shut up you fool", he snapped at me. No one can hear you, we are alone here so don't wait your strength.

Did his guy just advice me!

I was about to scream again when I heard my name.

"Aunty leah", the same voice I heard before I saw this crazy man. This time I felt a hand tapping me softly. The fear in me reduce, it was like I felt I was going to be rescued. 

Immediately I woke up sweating all over only to find a set of cute eyes staring at me. I sat up and noticed my dad and sis standing beside me.

"Aunty leah, you are awake", my cute nephew said with happiness on his face. "Leah, what happened? We heard you screaming for help", my sis sat down, her face full of concern.

"I guess she just had a terrible nightmare", my dad concluded.

"Yes dad", was all I could voice out. I will still sweating until my sis used a small towel to wipe my face. "Are you going to tell us about it", she asked.

I nodded.

I adjusted for my dad to sit before I started narrating what happened in my dream.

"Who do you think the guy is?", my sis question hit me hard as I remember jackson's threat.

"Could it be him?", she asked again.

"Who's him", dad questioned.

Jackson dad! We chorused.

"Uncle Jackson", Gaby said in a confused tone. "Why will uncle Jackson do something bad to aunty leah", he asked so innocently.

"Gaby", I called for his attention. "He is not a bad person. He is just angry I left him and am in love with his cousin", I explained to him.

What! Did I just explained that to a 4year old kid.

Silence filled my room after my explanation to Gaby.

Clearing his throat, dad broke the silence. "Nothing will happen to you I promise", he said embracing me while Gaby hugged his mom.

"Group hug", my sis voiced out as we all embraced ourselves.

"I love you all", dad said kissing out foreheads one by one.

"We love you too", we chorused!

Immediately, my tummy made a sound. "Look who is hungry", Gaby joked and we left my room heading to the dinning table.

We all sat down while my sis dished the food out. Perceiving the aroma of the egusi soup, I knew I was going to enjoy the food.

Who am I kidding. My sis cooks way better than I do. Infact, I learnt how to cook from her. When mom died, she acted both mom and sister role. My love for her can never die even until my last breathe.

In front of me was a wrap of semo and my soup beside it with a big turkey.

Don't be surprised with my meat. We are lovers of meat in our family but I love meat the most.

A glass of juice at my left and a glass of water at my right. We prayed, washed out hands in the washing basin and digged into our food.

In silence, we finished eating and washed our hands in the second basin. We did a little chat as my sis n I cleared the table.

"The meal was delicious", I told my sis which made her smile.

"You and food. When will you cook sef because am sure dad has missed your cookings", she teased me.

"Soon, dont worry", I laughed as we joined dad and Gaby in the living room.   We started watching our favourite TV show "jenifa's diary". A very beautiful and funny show.

When it was past 10pm, dad went to his room leaving my sis, Gaby and I. Before he left, he kissed us good night on our foreheads. Within minutes Gaby dosed off, so I volunteered to take him to his head.

"Good night sis", I said as carried Gaby while she switched off the TV.

I laid him on his bed and used a blanket to cover him reducing the Ac in his room. I left for my room.

Jumping on my bed, I opened my phone and dialed Clark's number.

We spoke for a long time before I gave a wide yawn.

"Good night love", he said blowing a kiss through the phone.

"Night baby", I spoke yawning again. With that he giggled and hanged up.

I was about to sleep when I stumbled upon a message,
