No Room For Love Episode 6
Andy sat two meters away from the bar, stole a few glances at the four friends sitting chatting happily.
He tried a number of times to stand up and pull a chair beside his ex-girlfriend who thought he was dead but failed to do that hence ruining his own plans.
He really needed to get Kate somehow signing his cheques again. Andy thought she would leave a lot of money for his fake family he introduced her to while they were dating, but she outsmarted him and all his plans faded into the darkness.
His new girlfriend, which he left Kate for, ditched him because he got nothing out of the game he played. She disappeared into thin air with the little money Kate paid for his fake surgeries and chemo. Andy thought she loved him and regretted not hanging on to Kate.
He was in deep thought, when the waiter tapped him on the back. ‘The men and lady on table four you asked me to watch are about to leave.’
Just then, Andy knew he lost another chance.
‘Andy you are a looser.’ He said so many times in his head.
Clearing his tabs, he looked back and saw the back of someone who looks like Kate rushing out. Andy took one step forward in order to pursue her, then he saw a gentleman rushing out after her.
He followed suit and got there. Andy stood at the extreme end closer enough to eavesdrop on their conversation.
‘Hey Miss, I guess you were looking for this.’ He flashed the phone in Kate’s face standing a distance from her.
‘How do you have my phone?’ Kate queried!
‘You should be thanking me with a drink because I found this on time.’
‘Thank you, can I have it now, am already late.’ She said to the gentle man who insisted Kate had to buy him a drink. After several persuasions, they walked back in.
Still standing at his earlier position, Andy used the back door and quickly got to the bar before they had a seat.
Andy started cooking ideas in his head, as the smart Andy he has always been. He settled on a plan that he always used on Kate those days and she signs the cheques for him without even knowing it. Andy smiled wickedly to no other person than himself.
‘Bar man, one shot of baileys.’
Baileys was her favorite, when she is happy. He thought for a while and spiked the drink just enough to keep Kate slightly awake while he uses his tricks on her and get the cheque signed. If possible, he get to enjoy her and leave her to the wolves. Andy hit his chest two times and said silently to himself; ‘Andy you are finally rich.’
He watched while she drunk the spiked drink, for a moment Andy thought they exchanged drinks because the dude was just staring at Kate like a doll. He watched keenly for some few more minutes while Kate stood up to leave.
He asked himself why the baileys had not taken effect on her yet. Andy followed just then he noticed the man he was with earlier was paying someone to drive her car to a destination he believed that was his or her next destination. Kate sat on the front seat, while holding her head in her hands, and then Andy knew the drug has started taking effect. He made to walk to him and say something so the gentleman with Kate release her to him but before he knew it, they zoomed off.
‘Andy you cannot lose this opportunity.’ He assured himself. He got in his car and followed them, suddenly a tanker crossed them on a busy road and they disappeared to God knows where.That was the last time he saw her, but Andy still had hope he may chance upon another plan, since the first before this one didn’t work
EPISODE 6
Kate walked out of her room, feeling so lost as to how she got home after last night, then it dawned on her she was out with the boys and ended up laid by a total stranger.
During breakfast, Kate kept eating in bits while she thought about the events of last night. She remembered his face, which she wanted to forget.
‘I can’t believe I finally screwed someone after 4years. I want to forget.’ Kate murmured to herself and hit her head so hard, that her parents just stared at her.
Catherine rushed from where she was seated with her spoon still in her hands, ‘Darling are you okay,’
‘Yes mum, just a hangover. I think I need coffee rather.’
Kate excused herself from the table; and put a call through to her trio friends, who have become everything to her since her other trio girlfriends betrayed her. They agreed to meet at their eating joint.
‘I have no man in my life, my dad would have been great to share my secrets with but he chose to be cold.’ She thought to herself silently.
‘Kate, you said it was important, yet you are silence as if we are in a cemetery.’ Anthon asked with so much anticipation in his voice.
‘Drake I think i slept with someone last night.’ She said quickly avoiding his gaze.
“Finally,” Anthon and James blurted out.
Drake on the other hand was sounding funny.
‘How Kate! I mean we left together.’
‘Remember you called and I did not pick up!’ Drake nodded to her statement with a little fury in his eyes.
‘Why is he getting worked up?’ Kate thought to herself. Then he resumed his speech.
‘So what happened that you had to reduce yourself to a total stranger?’ He was sounding now like her Dad. ‘Drake I do not remember owing you an explanation as to who I sleep with.’ She said rather rudely.
‘Kate I’m sure drake is just concerned about you.’ James said looking to Anthon’s direction as if he wanted him to support his earlier reply.
She shrugged and continued.
‘I went back after discovering I left my phone on the table on which we occupied that night but someone else booked the table. One thing led to another, I can’t remember all the details but I woke up realizing I just got laid. But I feel within me he acted on my permission.’
‘You call that permission!’ Drake finally spoke up.
Kate had forgotten he was still around.
‘What then do you call it?’ She asked trying to piss him off.
‘I don’t know Kate.’ He raised his voice again.
‘Well I would blame it on the fact that i got drunk, but I was so sure I consented to whatever happened between us.’ She said shyly fidgeting with her fingers, while they looked on.
‘I will kill that son of a bitch who took advantage of you Kate.’
‘Drake relax no need to make a mountain out of a molehill.’
Drake’s funny attitude actually made her day.
‘Kate you could have landed in much bigger problem by following an unknown man into God knows where.’ He said sternly.
The drive home from their chill out joint was rather silent. They dropped Kate home and Drake kissed her goodbye on the cheeks. She just smiled and went right ahead.Blaming herself while she walked in over the fact that she broke her own set of rules when she was doing just fine. Kate hated herself since then, she never wanted to sleep with a random person,
but she reassured herself since she was not in love or about to move in with him, then she was fine.
Kate was still in her thoughts when her dad’s voice came through, ‘Young girl, see me when you are free.’
She instantly asked. ‘What for?’
‘Is that how to talk to me.’ Her Daddy asked!
‘Dad I have all the time now, so go ahead,’
He started walking away, and Kate followed repeating herself.’ Talk to me now, or I will never be free Dad.’
‘Sometimes I wonder if you are even my child, because you are stubborn just like your mum.’ He said hurting Kate’s ego.
‘You are heartless dad.’
‘That is why I want you out of this house, be prepared to meet your husband and his family tomorrow,’ he said again with a strong face and walked away. She just rooted at one point and her mouth opened wide.
