HIRED WIFE

” I know Ton and I promise it will never happen again.. Ben will never come between us, he is my past and that’s where he will always remain… you are my future and Ton I love you!” Tessy confessed truly and that’s how we reconciled because we can’t stay angry with each other for too long.

” I love you more and more and more and more Tess” I answered smiling and Tessy laughed before replying too

” No, I love you morer and morer and morer and morer and morer.. that’s if the English is even correct in the dictionary” Tessy said laughing and I equally laughed kissing her forehead

” Lets start going to Chiom’s school so we can pick her up and head home.. Angie would be back home by now and will be hungry so I need to be home to prepare dinner okay” I said standing up and Tessy stood up too

” common Ton.. you don’t believe I will be at home with you and still allow you to prepare dinner for the kids, do you?” Tessy answered smirking and I smiled in response

” I trust you Tessy.. lest I forget, Angie confessed that she missed your cooking and I do miss it as well.. that’s why I had to call you on phone this morning to ask you for some of your recipes and preparation techniques!” I said and Tessy was wowed

” Really? she said that?.. well, I suspected when you called for my recipes but then I didn’t want to ask until you tell me yourself.. and you finally did!” Tessy said laughing as we walked hand in hand to where my car is packed.

We both got into the car and put on our personal seat belts.

” Naughty girl.. hope you know you are sleeping over at my place tonight?” I asked smiling as I prepared to drive out

” Really? you would have told me earlier nah so I will pack Chiom’s night clothes since some of my stuffs are at your place already.. anyways let me go back to the house and do so, wait for me!” Tessy said and attempted to leave the car but I stopped her with my hands

” Don’t worry about that Tess.. I intentionally kept quiet so you won’t pick anything because I wanted us to go shopping for the kids and even ourselves too.. bills on me so sit well, lets go Tess!” I said and Tessy laughed shaking her head

” This crazy boyfriend of mine is always full of pleasant surprises.. I see you learnt from the best which is me!” Tessy joked as she sat well in the car and I kept on laughing at her jokes as I drove off.

After shopping with Tessy for the kids, we went over to the food mall to get foodstuffs for vegetable soup preparation.

Shortly afterwards, we arrived at Chiom’s school to pick her up and from there we drove home.

As soon as we arrived home, I went straight to the visitors room where I am presently staying for the meantime, Tessy went to the kitchen to drop the foodstuffs we brought while Chioma went to meet Angie in her bedroom to share with her the goodies we shopped for them.

In the bedroom, I took an evening bath and changed into something simple so that I can go and help Tessy out in the kitchen.

As I approached the kitchen I began hearing loud female voices, it’s more like people were quarrelling in there.

Straining my ears, I recognized the voices to be that of Sophie and Tessy, curiosity got me wondering what is happening between them.

” Bitch! it’s not a enough that you’re gradually taking over my husband and daughter.. now it’s my kitchen you’re planning to take over… Aren’t you ashamed of yourself husband snatcher? !” was the first thing I heard the moment I opened the door and came in

” Sophie I’m warning you for the last time to stop calling me names… God knows that I have not taken or snatched anything from anyone without the person’s mutual consent… so please let me be now that I don’t want trouble, just allow me do my cooking and I will leave you to shallow your kitchen if that’s your problem!” Tessy retorted and continued with the vegetables she was washing in the sink, while Sophie stood behind her with a serious face and hands akimboNôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

It’s funny how I end up meeting women that are fire and a bit of trouble mixed together; the Sophie I know won’t back down from a fight or a word exchange so easily and the Tessy I know is not one to back down so easily either, so I guess that as a peace loving person I’m hooked.

Now I understand why researchers said that opposite attracts, because that’s the case with mine.

At first, I wanted to intervene but after seeing the way there were both ready to reciprocate each other’s spiteful words, I was amused at the display and decided to wait behind to see where this exchange will end.

” If I were you I would have some shame young lady!.. your mates are happily married in their husbands houses with kids but here you are in my husband’s house with your baggage of a daughter and worst still trying to snatch the man who hired you… Are you that miserable Tessy?” Sophie echoed behind Tessy and I saw Tessy face slowly become gloomy, it’s obvious that the words Sophie just said had hit her directly and got her hurt.

She left what she was washing and turned behind her to face Sophie who smiled victoriously

” Sophie I can take any insult from you but not when it concerns my daughter… yes I admit and I have never denied the fact that I am a single mother.. but then so what?”
