“He
said what?” Yvonne bit into the apple she had in her hand, wishing it was
Kieran’s flesh. The nerve of the man! She had never really taken to him, even
though the brother looked fine.
Yvonne’s
sister, Celia laughed. She found the whole story hilarious. Tola was spending
the Saturday afternoon with Yvonne and her family. Celia and her young daughter
had come to spend the weekend. Tola had just finished relating what had happened
between her and Kieran on the night he told her about his girlfriend’s second
pregnancy.
“Seriously
though, Tola, are you telling me he told you his girlfriend was pregnant and
they were getting married but he really liked you and still wanted to continue seeing
you?” Yvonne spoke so fast while chewing that Celia burst into laughter again.
Hearing Yvonne capture a two-hour conversation into one sentence was so funny
to Tola that she too started laughing.
Tola
nodded. “Yes oh. He told me he did not love her … can you imagine … men.”
“Why
is he marrying her if he does not love her?” Yvonne paused, took another bite
of apple, chewed rapidly and continued, “Why is he even with her?”
“Maybe
he is with her out of bad habit!” Celia responded and the three women burst
into gales of laughter.
Tola pointed to Celia and exclaimed. “A bad
habit that he enjoys!” They laughed again.Beauty for Ashes - Out Dec 2015. Book your copy
