Story : Wrong Number – Episode 24

There’s something about the past, it always have it’s way of catching up on you.
That week was not so good, Tunde is not helping matters either, he bombarded me with text since I’ve stopped picking his calls. Daniel calls everyday but I still sounded cold. I want to tell him everything, but I lacked the effrontery.

“When will you get out of this mood for God sake?” he asked me during our conversation over the phone.
“I’m fine” I said
“This weekend is our double date you know”
“I’m sorry I forgot” Sincerely I did not remember, I already have enough on my plate.
“I’ll come pick you up early so we could sought out things before the dinner date in the evening”
“Ok I’ll be expecting you” I said
“See you on Friday. I love you”
“OK”
“Daniella, I said I love you”
“I heard you Dee, I’ll see you on friday”
I was worried, I knew it’s wrong for me to withhold the truth from him. All I need is the courage to say it.

On Friday he got to my house around 6pm.
“Nice dress, you look gorgeous”
“Thanks” I said with a faint smile.
We got talking in his car and I think his charms worked on him. I felt free with him again.

Some minutes later, we left my place and headed straight to the restaurant.
A table for four has already been booked.
On entry into the restaurant Mr Paul sorry Paul waved at us. We joined him and his fiancée. We all settled down.
Paul did the introduction, it was nice meeting Lizzy, she’s fair, average height and she’s beautiful. Paul and Lizzy looks good together.

“Hmm, I always knew you have eyes for good things” Daniel said pointing to Paul.
“Look who’s talking” Paul said teasingly.
A waiter came by and we all placed our orders. We all introduced ourselves briefly. We talked about growing up and all.

From our conversation, I got to know little about Lizzy, she’s a banker by profession. One more thing i like Lizzy already, she’s simple, down to earth and the way she comport herself wowed me. “This man is really lucky” I said to myself.

The evening was great. Paul also informed us they’ll be getting married in three month. Daniel and I congratulated them.
Daniel took me home after our date.
He stopped in front of my house, alighted and helped me with the door.
“Good night my love” he said
when I steeped out of the car.
“Good night Dee”
He held my face in his palms and kissed me good night.

Two weeks later, Daniel came to my house during the week and we are in his car parked in my compound when he changed the topic.
“Daniella I have a feeling that you are hiding something from me. Is there anything you think I should know about you. I mean both past and present” he asked.

I jerked when he mentioned the past. Many things were going through my mind. I don’t know whether to tell him the truth or not about my past.
“Dee I already told you about my ex and that’s the only guy I’ve been with before you. The only thing I can say for now is that I’m not a saint ”
“I’m not a saint either, but if there is anything I need to know please don’t hesitate to tell me, I don’t like secrets”.

OK, that was all I said and that changed my mood again. He left some minutes later.
I got back to my room, I took my bath and was about to sleep when I received a text message. It was from my ex Tunde. I click on the message and it read.

“You don’t want to come back to me because of that Americana right. Don’t worry, he will soon dump you once he finds out the truth about you”
“So Tunde has been stalking me” I said to my self. Now he’s even planning on blackmailing me. I wonder why he refused to leave me alone. I called him back.

“So you can actually call me, my baby is scared right” he said
“Who is your baby, I can see some nuts are loosened in your brain, you this shameless loser” I said
He laughed ” Really!”
“Get this straight into that thick skull of yours, I will never be yours”
He threatened me, he even gave me one week ultimatum. He said its either I come back to him all he’ll spill the beans.

I was shocked when he told me he knew Daniel’s office. I know for sure that’s he’s talking about the abortions. Now I have no other choice than to tell Daniel. it’s better he hears it from me than from that loser ex of mine.

Daniel also called me that night before I went to bed. He told me he knew I’m hiding something from him but he said I should take all my time. He said he won’t push me to say anything I’m not ready to share. He said his good night and ended the call.

“Now is the time, I have to tell him everything” I said to myself when the line when off.
