No Room For Love Episode 48
‘How is our pregnant wife?’ Matts grinned and Kate smiled shyly back.
‘I’m okay.’ Kate grinned this time beautifully.
‘Come and have a seat here.’ Matt’s signaled her. ‘The way you are smiling, WhatsApp.’
‘Nothing, I just won a big contract from some company.’ Kate replied with a funny tone.
‘Are you sure, because you look very different.’ Matts asked curiously.
‘Oh really, you can read that on my face.’ Kate was surprised.
‘Oh yeah.’ Matts said in expectance of good news.
‘You won’t let this pass right?’ Kate asked giving up.
‘Not a chance Katie so start talking my dear.’ Matts said and adjusted herself.
‘I met with Mandy.’ Kate finally revealed.
‘What? When? Why Katie?’ Matts kept repeating short dialogues.
‘I don’t know but I just wanted to hear his side of the story. He told me a lot, which i’m yet to come in terms with.’
Kate said looking confused. She might have had a great time last nice but she is the most confused pregnant woman still battling with undying attraction towards a forbidden man.
‘I don’t know what is wrong with you. You know very well that you are addicted to the dude. I believe he took you to jerry’s bar again.’
‘Yes but just for a while.’
‘Be careful you are married.’
‘I’m careful Matt’s.’
‘So when you came home last night and rushed upstairs rudely that was where you came from.’ Matts was getting so furious now.
‘Matts relax, nothing happened. I know i’m addicted to Mandy but he didn’t get to touch me.’ Kate said with all smiles.
‘And you want me to believe you. Kate I know you and what Mandy does to you. Just a single touch and you would just succumb to whatever weird feeling you were never able to kill then.’
‘But that was then, now i…..’
‘What makes you think I believe you could resist him now?’
‘Trust me Matt’s, i’m willing to try.’
‘Just stop it now, before you hurt Nectar so badly. Focus on building your home.’ Matts paused and swallowed the saliva brewing in her mouth close to the three minutes she was talking nonstop.
‘Matts, look you are spewing all these out of proportion. I’m not a slut and very surprised you are even insinuating that.’
‘All i’m saying is you are married Katie.’
‘I know i’m married and with children too. That alone gives me the decency to respect myself.’ Kate said with her gaze on matts.
‘So he didn’t use those his flimsy tricks on you?’
‘No, though the chemistry was so strong, I controlled myself. For the first time ever I resisted Mandy in our 5 long year relationship, give me a medal for that. You know my history with Mandy more than anyone, so why doubt me now Matts.’ Kate announced like a child who just won her first volleyball match.
‘Katie that’s okay, I believe you but be careful, you might not be able to resist if you keep meeting him at secluded places.’ Matts advised.
‘So I was the left over you rushed home to sleep with and had the guts to fake an orgasm while moaning another man’s name. Kate you disgust me.’
Matts and Kate raised their head to the direction the voice was coming from. Kate wondered when Nectar came downstairs that they didn’t notice. At thesame time she couldn’t figure out how long he was standing there. Kate begun to think quickly when all of a sudden world war two started.
‘What’s going on between you two now?’ Matt’s managed to ask since husband and wife were just avoiding each other.
‘Kate, you have no respect at all and this is unforgivable. Initially I thought you actually wanted to be with me so I just brushed last night’s ordeal off but here you sit bragging about chemistry for another man who happens to be an ex-convict.’
‘Wait, di……’ Matt’s shook Kate gently while about to do her usual investigations when Nectar interrupted her.
‘Come on, think for once Kate. I thought you are beautiful so you would have brains to think for yourself. Now you just reflect the saying, beauty without brains.’
‘Nectar that’s enough.’ Matt’s cautioned.
He just ignored her sister. ‘What do I do when my wife finally decides to sleep with her ex-boyfriends all in the name of one weird attraction?’ Nectar said with so much bitterness in his voice.
He watched the two ladies angrily and was expecting them to say something but the room was as quiet as a cemetry which even angered him the more.
‘Were you punishing me for marrying you by force? You know what I actually saved you and those bastards you carry in there when i haven’t even asked who their father is.’
Nectar knew he was out of line at that moment because he saw Matt’s holding Kate so tight.
‘Your dad was right all along about you sleeping with everything in trousers and to think you claim he doesn’t like you for reasons known to him, I’m beginning to think the problem is you Kate. This your slutty and bratty attitude made your dad to treat you, whichever way he has so far.’
‘Saint?’ Matt’s finally asked.
‘Yes, don’t interfere Matilda. I just want to tell her my mind.’
‘You are speaking your mind but it’s making situations worse so stop it.’
‘Why should i stop it? Do you know the truth is Wilson actually cared enough to beg a man to marry his daughter with her bastard children. A daugther who is so ungrateful to realize how far her dad was willing to go for her because she has a big problem up there.’ He said pointing to his head.
Kate and Matts kept exchanging glances with so much regrets and worry on their faces whiles nectar kept talking.
‘I did you a favor Kate, appreciate that and stop breaking my heart all the time. A man’s patience can run for just a while and I think I’ve reached that limit.’ Nectar paused and looked on towards the direction of both Matts and Kate who just stare blankly.
Kate tried to say something but she knew she was already guilty, so she just kept quiet and watched on while nectar gave her the insults of her life and details of last night’s ordeal in so much venom in his eyes. He was trying so hard to conceal it but Kate just saw another pattern of her Dad in him, which scared her.
Words failed her and whiles Matts kept holding her hands so tight to calm her down, little did Matt’s know Kate wasn’t going to retaliate because even though she’s a brat Kate always knew when she was wrong. Besides Nectar is right, she has done enough harm when he had been so supportive so far.
He finally walked out, after staring at Kate hoping she would say something for close to two minutes. Kate just gave a loud thank God sigh.
Matt’s glared at Kate for a while.
‘You slept with Nectar yesterday because you couldn’t control the feelings from that meet up with Mandy.’
‘Matts not you too. Don’t judge me; Nectar has done enough of that already.’
‘Wow! Though i’m a little bit disappointed but i’m also happy you didn’t sleep with Mandy.’ Matts said and smiled.
‘Katie, but how could you break the poor man’s heart, by faking an orgasm while thinking about Mandy?’ Matts said trying to taunt her the more.
‘You think I wanted to do that to him.’
‘But you did my dear.’ Matt’s teased.
‘How is this funny Matts?’
‘It’s not when you were actually thinking of Mandy.’ Matt’s frowned.
‘I couldn’t even tell when I mentioned his name but I sure didn’t fake any orgasm. To tell you what, I actually enjoyed it.’ Kate revealed with a smile brewing on her left cheek. Kate spoke up.
‘Oh, wow! Does that mean you are falling in love with Nectar?’ Matts said happily.
‘Oh hell No! I just needed to sleep with someone, at that very moment and he was there. It was a perfect moment. Though I had my share of the enjoyment, I disagree if you push this on love.’ Kate said in a defending manner.
‘It seems like whatever happened between you and Nectar right now doesn’t bother you at all. I like this new Kate and so happy for you too.’ Matts said with so much honesty.
‘Thank you Matts.’
‘Was he that good?’ She further asked. She gave Kate a good wink and they laughed.
‘Matt’s..’ Kate called covering her face with her palms like a small girl.
‘Give me more gist then.’ Matts further probed with eagerness.
‘Get out of here.’ Kate pushed Matts around.
*****
As Kate was sitting on her bed, she was reminiscing about Nectar’s earlier outburst. She couldn’t help but feel guilty about what she did unintentionally. Memories kept rushing in from the previous night.
She remembered pushing Mandy away and the next thing, she was driving on top speed because she was experiencing feelings she thought had died. Kate didn’t want to commit adultery when she could try to control herself especially now that she was beginning to give Nectar some peace.
So when she got home, Matts was working on something whiles watching America got talent. She just waved her and said later while she rushed upstairs and nectar was not in.
Then she heard water dripping in the washroom. Kate murmured to herself perfect and rushed in there.
“Can I join you?” Kate asked! Nectar was amazed and dumbfounded. “Are you going to let me wait? Maybe I should go.” She made to leave when he pulled her back in. Kate wasn’t sure where she got that courage from.
After the deed was over, he left her embarrassed. Kate remembered she was confused and shy so her face was down all throughout his last words.
‘Do you always have to mention Mandela’s name during sex? I hope you are satisfied.’ Kate said aloud wondering why she even had to repeat Nectars words from last night.
She wouldn’t forget how her hands flung up to her mouth while he tied his towel on the waist and made out of the washroom leaving her alone in there.
She kept trying to forget the details from last night but they kept trooping in.
Kate frowned at that memory especially when she managed to get herself sorted and he was asleep when she came back from the bathroom.
She raised herself off the bed and glared towards the washroom and then smiled. Kate laid back quietly for another few minutes, trying to think about when she mentioned Mandy’s name. She certainly didn’t want to blame him for reacting that way earlier and she also have a lot to think about especially what Mandy said the last night.
*****
‘What does he mean by he was planted in my life? And he fell in love with me after that. Which proof does he have and why is my dad written all over this mess.;
She raised herself up trying to dial Wilson’s number but decided against it.
‘I’m I in danger? Who is behind that emails he showed me. Could he be lying to me again? I mean he lied about his name, his family, his occupation. His whole life was a scam. How could I have fallen for one of these scammers?’
Kate asked herself regrettably and threw herself gently in the middle of the bed.
‘I wasn’t desperate for a boyfriend then when I lost the last good thing that happened to me.’ She hissed. But what happened to a handsome gentle man like Mandy to start selling himself off the internet? I wonder how many souls he has slept with all in the name of an escort.’ Kate kept asking herself questions on top of her voice since she was alone.
‘We only blame women when they do that but for Mandy to do all that he told me and still sat in my face talking about his love for me is bullshit.’ She paused. ‘But I loved him then, now i’m not sure what weird feelings I have.’ She spoke aloud.
Meeting Mandela once again had resurrected every old feelings and new ones because usually a broken woman like her would get pissed but Kate wasn’t. Kate used to curse his entire generation when he broke her heart.
Kate tried to figure out how she managed to sit close to an hour with Mandy in that bar and not burst out. She wondered what the guy has done to her because the last time she saw him was when she met that scene of Matts all over him in his house. He tried to see her several times but Kate wasn’t ready because she knew her weakness was to forgive him and sleep with him to forget everything.
Kate was that soft especially when it came to what she almost did in that bar the previous night. Mandela always had a way of making her agree to things that she didn’t want to do.
After Andy who died with a brain tumor, Mandy replaced whatever strong feelings Kate shared with Andy her ex. She would have ended up with Andy if not for the fact that life took him too early.
Kate knew she usually had strong attraction towards her men but with Nectar it was so difficult for her to see that connection.
‘Katie, open up. Drake is here to see you.’ Kate forgot she locked herself up. She ignored them for a while.
Nectar hasn’t been home for three days and she wasn’t feeling good about it either.
Looks like Matts doesn’t care either because she told Kate to give him time because he would definitly be back. But knew nothing would change when he gets back.

EPISODE 49
****************
His mother in law opened the door and ushered him in. She kept looking out and realized he came alone.
‘You didn’t come with your wife.’
‘She had no idea I came here Mum.’ Nectar said in reply to Catherine’s question.
‘Come in, hope all is well,’ She said while handing me a glass of juice.
Nectar had always admired Catherine so much. From what he heard from her Dad she has taken a lot of harsh treatments form Mr. Santa but still doesn’t want to leave him.
“I hope she forgives me for what i’m about to do.” I was in deep thought.
Catherine took another look at him and knew he wasn’t alright.
“Nectar, are you okay. You look lost. Is my daughter okay?” Catherine asked so worried.
‘Yes, mom, I just came to ask you for your permission for some other matter.’
‘Permission to do what.’ Catherine asked adjusting herself this time to look directly at Nectar. ‘Mom i’m tired of her attitudes. I can’t take it anymore.’ Nectar said slowly.
‘You mean Kate.’
‘Yes so i want a divorce. I believe she will jump to that since her ex fiancé is back in town and she has started seeing him again.’
‘What are you talking about Nectar?’
‘Mandy is out mom.’
‘OMG!’ Catherine said almost standing up. ‘And you feel threatened, is that it Nectar?’ Catherine asked calmly.
‘Already your daughter has no feelings for me, she disrespects me all the time and I just close my eyes and swallow her words. But what I can’t take is to look over my shoulder all the time, when she goes out wondering if she is meeting up with Mandy because i came to understand she is addicted to her ex. If it were just mere love, I could manage but not an addiction.’
‘So you want to let her go?’ Catherine asked sadly.
‘Yeah but I have much respect for you so please don’t stop me mom.’
Nectar tried to wipe the single drop of tear on his cheeks.
‘Are you sure that is what you want my boy.’ Catherine tried to confirm.
‘Not really, but I have nothing else to loose,’ he replied.
‘I don’t know what to say my son.’
‘Please forgive me and understand. I wished she were like you, so calm and understanding.’
Catherine watched him pour out his emotion with much honesty.
‘You have my permission but i’m always here if you need to talk.’ Catherine sighed with so much difficulty written on her face.
‘Thank you mom.’ He tried to smile but his emotions were all over the place.
‘Have you told my husband yet?’
‘Yes, he said he is fine with my decision and doesn’t want Kate back in his house.’ Nectar narrated.
‘Thank you so much Nectar, let me know when to come in once she decides.’
‘Okay mom.’ Nectar sighed and asked permision to leave.
***********
‘Hey Scottish gentle man how are you? And are you done drinking your life out.’ Kate said to Drake.
‘I would leave you two to talk.’ Matts said and cat walked out.
For a moment, Kate thought she saw a reaction from Matts, which surprised her but she quickly brushed it aside.
‘Kate i’m sorry. Hope I didn’t hurt you and Matts the last time you came over.’ Drake asked with regrets.
‘Oh, you have done more than that.’ Kate said trying to tease the poor boy obviously burning with love.
‘Please i’m sorry. I just can’t seem to forget you and I blame myself for this mess of a marriage I allowed you to sign up for.’
‘There we go Mr. Love.’ Kate teased.
‘I have loved you for a very long time even before we met.’ Drake said with his emotions almost failing him.
‘What do you mean before we even met because i’m sure I only met you the day I bumped into you.’
‘You don’t understand Kate.’ He muttered discreetly.
Kate sighed. ‘Anyway, Drake. I love you, but not like that. We can’t have anything aside our friendship.’
‘You are in a wrong relationship Katie. Let me help you.’
‘I’m where I have to be but if I ever leave here, i’m not sure I can end up with you. I love our friendship so i want it to stay that way. Because i don’t know the kind of life i would be giving to my children if i separate them from their father.’
‘Kate you know i can be a father to these children.’
‘No u can’t because you wanted me to abort this pregnancy before I could even tell you Nectar is the father of my children while Nectar on the other hand accepted responsibility at first hand, without even knowing he is the father.’ Kate frowned her face. ‘And that’s the difference between you two. How would you love them after wards, knowing you didn’t want them in the first place?’
‘What? Nectar is the father. How?’ Drake asked surprised.
‘Yes, he was the gentle man I slept with from the bar and fortunately, he happens to be the man Daddy wanted me to marry.’ Kate said honestly.
So, you knew all this while and you kept it from us.’ Drake asked angrily now.
‘I didn’t want you three to start judging me.’ Kate confirmed.
‘When have we ever judged you? Please give me a chance to make this right. I love you to the extent I could kill for you.’ Drake finally said.
Kate then flared up even though his eyes were turning red and Kate was skeptical about his reaction. ‘Maybe you should kill yourself then.’
Drake must have really felt something strong for her to make him so weak and destroyed that way.
‘Drake, take it from me. I’m not capable of love anymore.’ Kate said instantly.
‘Lies, so what do you call what you were doing with Mandy in that bar. What could a married woman be doing with his ex in secluded places?’
To be continued
EPISODE 50
Kate was taken by surprise. “How did he know about Mandy?” She said loudly in her own thoughts when Drake spoke up again.
‘Oh, you think I don’t know,’ Drake snapped when he saw the reaction on her face.
‘How dare you Drake! Were you spying on me? Who made you my bodyguard? Get out of my house.’ Kate was furious at that moment.
‘Oh really, i’m even on my way out of this house you call your own.’
‘Yes, go.’ Kate flared.
‘Keep parading yourself with that sick dude you call a husband. Mental illness runs in the family. I pity the innocent children you are bringing into this world but I pray they don’t inherit any mental ishh.’
‘Huh!’ Kate just slumped in the couch and she saw Matts rushing to her ignoring him. Drake walked away from her for a while.
‘I still recommend Doctor Sues.’ He banged the door so hard and walked out of the door.
That was my best friend, I tell him everything but because I don’t feel what he feels, he had the nerves to treat me awful. How did he even know about Nectars illness?’ Kate paused for a while and looked at Matt’s face with concern. ‘Matts did you tell him anything. I saw the way you were looking at each other lustfully earlier.’
‘Really, you are putting that on me now. I hardly knew the dude.’ Matts replied cheerfully.
‘I know you Matt’s.’
‘I love my brother and i’ve been keeping this secret long before you came along. Maybe you spilled the beans yourself. He is your best friend remember?’ Matts rubbed in with jealousy beaming from within her.
‘No, I would never do that and i’m sorry but i was Just so surprised with his words.’ Kate said with empathy.
‘Maybe Doctor sues told him.’ Matt’s said.
‘No doctor sues is a psychologist he recommended I see after I couldn’t take the betrayal from you and Mandy. I remember I wasn’t able to see her.’
Just then, Nectar walked in. Kate tried to avoid his gaze though she so much wanted to talk to him since he hadn’t been home for the past few days.
By the time they realized he had walked to them and handed an envelope to Kate.
‘Matilda help her read that incase she is too proud to read,’ he said and then walked upstairs. Kate and Matt’s looked at each other weirdly thinking about what is in the envelope.
‘Bring that, let me see what your dearest husband bought for you now.’
‘It’s mine so I should be opening. Matts and Kate kept tossing from one end to another like children.
Finally, Matt’s allowed her to open the envelope.
Kate nearly collapsed on seeing the contents. Matts quickly grabbed it from her while holding her down.
‘A divorce? How? Why?’ Matts kept asking.
She left Kate on the couch trembling and went after him. Kate could hear them screaming at each other.
‘How dare you, was that why you side lined me for these past days. You think I would have you or another man break her heart again.’
‘Leave me alone.’ Nectar glared.
‘Be sensitive a little Saint, what is wrong with you. She has been through enough already and you’ve been there too so you should know better.’
‘I’ve also been through a lot too Matilda.’
‘You should know Katie didn’t chose to be that way herself but it took men like you to turn her into what she seems now so don’t add up to it and be man enough to take charge of your home.’
‘She hurt me Matilda.’
‘So, you want to lose another child, no two children with that stunt you pulled out there. She could have miscarried and another blood will be on your head.’ Matt’s paused and stared at him. ‘You want that right. Keisha won’t forgive you.’
Matts kept talking whiles Nectar kept strolling with his hands in his pocket obviously furious.
As if Matts touched his nerves, he became so furious within himself and his eyes looked like he was ready to kill her right there.
‘How dare you bring my past out. I hate you for this Matilda. You want me to keep leaving with a woman who doesn’t respect me and whose heart belongs to another. What do you expect I do since her dearest addiction is back.’
‘So yo….’
Matt’s was saying when he cut her off.
‘For five months, I waited hoping she would come around, at least not to tell me she loves me but care a little about my well-being but she prefers riding all over town with his work and friends.’
‘So that’s your problem?’
‘That’s not even the issue but how do I contest with Mandela. From what I’ve learnt the last time she practically used me was they had one hell of a love story.’
‘So? That was her past Saint, get over it.’
‘She would never be mine, admit that Matts.’
‘I admit but I want you to reason for yourself. You think i’m in this house because I just don’t have a job or a place to stay?’ She contemplated for a while. ‘I came here because she cared enough to let me know your episodes have started again.’
Nectar gave Matt’s the, I don’t know what you are talking about gesture and Matt’s wasn’t bothered at all because she felt it was time for him to find out.
