No Room For Love Episode 27

‘Our house,’ Nectar said calmly.

‘Guy you can see she is not in the mood now. You go and come back another time.’ Drake said trying to make fun of him.

‘Okay, Kate I will see you tomorrow.’

He said and walked out. Kate glanced at Drake after Nectar walked out and they laughed hilariously.

‘Is this man stupid or what.’

Kate you are in for a lot of trouble in your marriage.’

‘That’s even better; I can have my peace of mind.’

‘I think you should listen to Matts, whatever she has to say.’ He changed the topic.

‘Not you too Drake, I just can’t stand the girl.’

They were still talking when her parents came in.

‘Young girl, what are you still doing here, you should be in your husband’s house?’

‘Dad, please not now, I’m not in the mood for your taunting’s.’

‘Wilson leave her alone for once, Nectar said he would pick her up tomorrow.’ Catherine muttered. Wilson gave them a scornful look and went away.

***

She saw her mom seated by her bedside. Kate didn’t even realize she slept off and Drake had left.

‘Mum, is everyone gone.’

‘Yes, including your grams. She said to tell you she would visit when you settle in.’

‘Alright.’

‘Are you taking this dress along.’ Kate saw her mom holding the red top she got her for Christmas.

‘Mum what are you doing?’

‘Packing your things for your matrimonial home?’

‘Really, and who told you I would be going there.’

‘Come on Kate, don’t treat the poor boy like that. He really adores you and would do anything for you.’

‘I don’t know what to do again mom.’

‘Just give him a chance, will you? For my sake.’

‘Mom, please don’t ask me to do the impossible, just promise you will call if you run into trouble with dad.’

‘My dear, don’t worry I will be fine here.’

‘I don’t believe you.’

‘Enjoy your marriage and sorry I was out of money this month so I haven’t been able to get you anything for your wedding night. Will do that once I get my allowance for housekeeping next month.’ Catherine was trying to ignore her daughter’s suspicions.

Kate grabbed her cheque book on the table beside her and quickly signed it.

‘Mom, you don’t have to get me anything besides I doubt if a wedding night is ever going to happen, but here take this cheque.’ She handed her mom the cheque. ‘I always told you to let me know when you don’t have money.’

‘I didn’t want to worry you.’

‘I hope dad wouldn’t starve you for me.’

‘Kate don’t starve the poor boy please. Marriage, is not consummated without the wedding night. Do i have to give you guidelines?’

‘At the look of things mom, I have to give you guidelines!’ She said and they both laughed!

EPISODE 28

Early the next day, nectar was in her house. Her mom quickly dragged her stuffs to his booth and her dad was walking aimlessly in the room.

She gave her mom a long hug, and told her Dad to remember their deal.

He just looked at her daughter in a way that he has never done before. Kate thought he was sad she was leaving home.

The drive home was rather awkward as he kept stealing glances.

‘I hope you wouldn’t mind if we stopped here because i want to get us something for lunch.’ He said and Kate ignored him. Nectar figured she wouldn’t reply him.

‘What would you prefer?’ Kate stared at him and was mute for some seconds.

‘Gentle man, do whatever you want to and you always don’t have to ask my permission.’

‘Okay, I will be right back.’ he pulled over and rushed out to what seemed like a restaurant.

Kate sat in the car thinking what was in store for her and how she was going to handle Nectars childish attitude.

She was out for about 5mins when he spoke up.

‘I got your favorite for you.’

Oh, you are already back,’ She managed to say weakly to Nectar. He nodded and they drove on.

Nectar drove to the building with giant gates. Kate recognized the place and then she saw Nectar’s mom and Dad coming out.

‘You are welcome my daughter.’

She was like really, ‘this guy still stays with his parents.’ Kate was at their house the other day but figured he stayed their temporarily.

She thought to herself quietly before replying their greetings.

‘Thank you mommy.’ She smiled sheepishly. They got inside and was ushered into her matrimonial room.

‘He does have taste for good decor,’ Kate found herself whispering and smiling.

‘What is funny?’ Nectar asked.

‘And who is laughing,’ she replied.

‘Sorry, you can use the other side of the wardrobe.’

‘Ahuh.’ Kate shrugged.

‘Kate.’ he called.

She raised her head and saw Nectar throwing to her direction the keys. ‘I handed your lunch over to my mum. Maybe you can come down after you settle in.’

To be continued

EPISODE 29

‘Gentle man, I’m not hungry.’

‘But you need not starve yourself. You know you are still pregnant.’ Nectar said calmly.

‘And what part of that concerns you.’ She said rudely.

Kate realized she was getting irritated already and if she doesn’t get any sleep soon she might just explode.

‘Look I’m just concerned as a doctor not a father.’ He walked out and Kate felt like he was angry. She couldn’t tell when she slept off, but woke up feeling really hungry.

Nectar was nowhere around the house. Kate walked out with no particular place in mind. She met Mrs. Glover on the couch and the whole place was silent.

‘You are awake; do you care for your lunch now? I came in earlier, but you were fast asleep.’ Her mother in-law said.

‘Yes mom, besides I want to know the way to the kitchen just in case.’

She got her food reheated and for what seemed like several hours she was finally done.

‘Don’t worry about food for some time whiles you are here. Just take your time and get acquainted with the place first, I will be doing the cooking myself.’

‘Thanks mommy.’ She replied gently and the thought of her friend crossed her mind.

‘How did this woman end up giving birth to a spoilt child like Matts? I’m sure it was her stepmom that spoilt her.’ Kate was thinking aloud and whispering gently.

Kate knew Matt’s stayed back with her dad and stepmom when her mom remarried her ex Mr Glover. Kate haven’t met her mom before but Matts showed her a picture of her once. It was a complicated family which was the main reason why she had a connection with Matts because they both lived with their step parents.

‘But this woman right here, is so different from Matt,’ She murmured so her mother in- law who was seated with her at the dinning table wouldn’t hear her.

Just then, she felt someone was standing on her. Kate turned and their eyes met.

‘Welcome, Katie!’

Kate just looked on and back to her phone, which she was glued to earlier giving her friends information on how to find Nectars house.

‘Let me leave you two.’

Nectars mom finally said after sensing the tension around.

Kate saw Matts pulling a chair beside her.

‘Can we talk please? Katie!’ She made to touch her and Kate withdrew her hands.

‘Matts stay in your lane; I don’t want to do anything I would regret later.’

Kate hissed and went upstairs.

To be continued

EPISODE 30

When she got upstairs, she took her shower and tucked herself in bed. Not long after Nectar came back from wherever he went to.

‘Sorry I woke you up.’

‘I wasn’t sleeping.’ Kate found herself answering Nectar in a rather calm tone.

‘You are okay right?’ He asked.

‘Does your sister live here as well?’ Kate ignored his question.

‘Yes, is there a problem?’ He examined her face closely.

‘Yes, there is gentle man. Tell her to avoid me.’

‘I have been meaning to ask what the problem was between you two but she refused to talk about it.’

‘Just tell her not to come near me,’

Kate said again, but this time with a loud tone.

‘Alright.’ He responded and stopped talking.

‘I don’t even know why you can’t get your own place after getting married. I’m not sure how long I can stand her in this house, but warn her.’

‘Kate you haven’t even been here for a day yet and you already have problems with someone.’

‘And what’s that supposed to mean?’ She queried.

‘I understand you girls have your feud before I met you but please kindly bear with me for now.’ He scratched his face. ‘I will get a place soon,’ he finally said.

‘You had better do so.’ She retorted back!

Nectar just nodded his head in detest and went to clean himself up. For what looked like, two hours he came back to the room.

Kate figured he went to get something fixed for himself because he was childishly wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

He just said goodnight after Kate saw him with his toothbrush earlier going into the washroom. Then he jumped onto the couch, after picking up a pillow beside her.

Kate was surprised when she asked why he was sleeping there because it wasn’t like she expects anything to happen or she cared that much.

Nectar replied he thought that was part of the contract, as he hasn’t gotten time to read yet.

‘Gentle man make time and read the contract, you can have the bed if you want to.’ She said to nectar and pulled herself to face the dressing mirror and that was it. Kate was gone within minutes.

To be continued

EPISODE 31

She woke up realizing Nectar actually came over to bed. She figured the pregnancy was doing wonders on her lately.

She quickly rushed herself through her bath and was dressing up when he woke up.

“Good morning.”

‘I’m off to work, maybe I might end up at my mums because I need to pick up my car.’ Kate said instead of replying his greeting.

“Oh that! Can you give me five minutes to wash down so I can drop you off since your car isn’t here!”

‘Don’t bother Drake is picking me up. Do you have a problem with that?’

Kate enquired calmly.

‘No, no, have a nice day.’

Nectar immediately replied.

She smiled and walked out meeting mommy and daughter on the dining table.

She wondered where Mr. Glover has been since yesterday. Her mother in law tried pushing breakfast on her earlier but she declined, and Matt’s with her pathetic face kept staring.

Kate greeted and walked out.

‘Gosh, I can’t stand her.’ She murmured on her way out. Kate felt she saw Nectar hiding behind the curtains.

‘Was he checking up on me?’ She asked herself again and got into the car.

Drake drove off in silence, until he finally asked a weird question.

‘Did you sleep with him?’

Kate gave him a scornful look.

‘It’s none of my business, you are married to the dude so you are entitled but I was just curious.’

She looked at him weirdly again and shook him with her shoulder.

‘Oh, come on! You know all this is on paper right?’

He nodded. ‘Just forget i asked.’

Besides you knew I’m only attracted to one man.’ She stated sadly.

Drake smiled briefly and drove on. He didn’t want to pursue that topic anymore.

***

There was too much loads of work that Kate just had to leave it for Stacy and see her mother quickly.

When she entered, the whole place looked so different though she left just yesterday but it seemed to her like forever.

Just then her mum, quickly pulled her over into her arms and checking her up.

‘How have you been?’

That was the genesis of their chat and tears for a while.

‘Mom, I think I have to go. I want to stay but knowing Dad he wouldn’t want me back here. By the way, where is he.’ Kate asked suspiciously.

‘Ermm maybe work?’

‘Mom, you are lying.’

‘Okay, He hasn’t been home since you left yesterday.’

“What?”

To be continued

EPISODE 32

‘He left you alone in here? What a jerk! Mom I’m staying and that is final!’

‘No, you are married now; get yourself out to your house.’

‘Why don’t you want my help.’ She frowned.

‘Kate I’m not an invalid.’

‘But mom i……’

‘No buts Kate. You have wifely duties.’

‘Wifely duties can wait.’ Kate tried to convince her mom.

‘No, it can’t wait.’ Her mom kept pushing her away.

‘Is that why you insist on staying in this house like a slave?’

‘I’m no one’s slave here Kate.’

‘You think I haven’t noticed; you sleep on two separate beds in your room.’ Kate finally queried her mom.

‘You were probably dreaming.’ Catherine didn’t want to admit to her daughter the truth.

‘I see you walk out all night in the garden crying. Mom I see it all, whatever it is tell me. Let us leave here before he comes back.’

‘I’m staying right here Kate.’

‘Do you owe him anything mom? We can find a way to pay back.’

Just then, they heard a knock on the door.

Kate went to open up and Nectar was standing by the door smiling.

Catherine had earlier on called Nectar when she went to the kitchen to get some juice for her daughter.

‘What are you doing here? Am i not allowed visit to my home anymore just because I’m married?’

‘Kate don’t blame him, I called him up, knowing fully well you might not want to leave.’ Her Mom interrupted.

‘Mom?’

‘Don’t mom me; just go with your husband.’

‘What husband? You have no idea what a child I married.?’ She blurted out and heard her name in a loud tone.

‘Kate!! Watch your mouth, who brought you up this way.’

‘But mom, he’s st…..’

‘He’s what?’ Her mom cut her off. ‘Apologize to your husband now. You think everything will always be white. You learn to endure and like the blacks as well.’

‘Mom I’m sorry, but don’t ask me to apologize to him.’

‘Yes, am asking you to. Be fast about it.’

Catherine worry too much over these stuffs. She sniffed! ‘Okay sorry,’

Not good enough Kate.

“I said I’m sorry”.

“That’s better.” Her mom replied.

‘Geez mom, I have to go now since you are driving me out. Please kindly send my car through the driver tomorrow or I would be tempted to come back and never go back.’

‘You would get your car tomorrow. Now come here.’ Her Mom gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheeks.

‘I love you mom.’

‘I love you too, now be good!’ Her mom said sternly, ‘Nectar kindly take her away before she changes her mind.’

Catherine told Nectar without looking in Kate’s direction.
