Richy's Diary: "Just a Friend"- Episode 3

...continued from, 'after the movies'


"What was the meaning of all that at the movies?", Tina asked Mike as they got home. "Meaning of what?", Mike asked in return. "Oh! please spare me all that, you think am dumb Mike, you think I didn't notice you staring at Tessy while you were with me!" "You think you can just wake up one day and turn to a cook and a movie boy taking people to Cinemas?" "Well for your information whatever you are feeling for her is not gonna work. "I am not going to sit and watch her take you away from me, if she can't keep her man, I can keep mine." "And no one will mess with my man." "Calm down girl, you're shouting, it's late already," Mike replied. "Tessy is just my friend, I am just helping a friend who had a broken engagement." "I am not going anywhere and no body is taking me away from you"(winks).  "Come  here, come close," he pulled her close and kissed her. "Baby I'm here...I am stuck with you!" "So you can go to bed and forget about everything that happened this night." She smiles. "Are you not coming to bed with me?" Tessy asked. "Oh!...No, I need to finish up a proposal I have to submit tomorrow." "Goodnight (he says in a whispering manner). Sweet dreams! She went comes closer to him, kissed him and went into the bedroom. "Good Night", door closed behind her.

    "Oh God!" "What is wrong with me?" "How has it gotten to this, what has Tessy done to me?" Mike thought, sitting on the arm of a cushion.
    He has managed to hide his feelings for Tessy for many years, now everything is opening up, even Tina is suspecting him of cheating on her. "I can't go in to that bedroom, I don't want to confront her again, I don't know how long I can keep hiding this from Tina. Oh God help me! He lay on the cushion and yielded to sleep.
    Tessy had called Office on her way to the movies, telling her boss that she needed a few days off to put her self together haven had a break-up. Now lying down on her bed she thought about yesterday, not the part where Ben broke up with her, but the part where her guardian angel called her...yep Mike, when he came into her room. She remembers all as she wasn't deep in sleep as Mike thought. She saw him come in and covered her properly, it was an amazing touch, she thought. "Mike is Handsome! Caring!"  "Oh! (she covers her mouth) I think am in love with him but this cannot be, I will just be a fool." "He cares because he is my friend, what are friends for?" "But yet at the movies he kept staring at me even though he was with Tina his girlfriend, and I loved it. I love the way he touched me with his eyes! Oh! I think am hallucinating I need to take my medication.
    "Hello! "Am I speaking with the most beautiful and adoring lady on earth?" "No, this is Theresa Dike." "Well that's her too!"
    "Mike, please stop before your girlfriend catches you, how are you Mike?" "Am good Tessy, I was wondering if you could spare some time on saturday evening, I want to buy you dinner." Oh God, Mike are you asking me out on a date?" "Well something like that," he said.
"I thought we agreed"..."Yes," he interrupts , "it's not that type of date but this other type of date where there is other friends involve, Emma, Benita, Bisi and My girlfriend." "What! Oh no no no, why are all these people coming to our dinner?" she ask. "Remember the rules Tessy, strictly friends, I don't want to break it nor make you feel bad." " Feel bad my arse!" "Breaking the rules my foot, for how long have I waited for you to break the rules but you keep hiding under it to torment me! She wanted to say...but what came out of her mouth was, "Oh the rules, yeah, I totally forgot, its good we all have dinner together," she added. "I will come pick you by 6:30.p.m, goodnight," he said and hung up.
    Immediately Mike hung up, Tessy started thinking on what to wear for the dinner, then it hit her like a  spark of electric current, making her to shiver, Tina, Mike's Girlfriend will also be at the dinner, she will even be in the same car when Mike will come to pick her, oh that's bad, so what is the need of dressing to please him since he will be occupied with Tina and won't even notice her. She remembered what Bisi said to her " maybe you both should put off all these my friend thing and let your true feelings take over." "Yeah I think I know what to do."
    "Emma I am in trouble and don't know what to do." Mike confessed to his friend Emma, he had been thinking since he asked Tessy out. Tina is making life miserable for me, she has moved into the new apartment I rented for her and she took the spare keys and told me not to come without calling to let her know, imagine Tina. "Hen!" "Mike what is actually wrong with you?" Emma asked. "Also I think I have crossed the line, I have fallen in love with Tessy and Tinna is suspicious, I don't know how long I can hide it or be with Tina, I think am tired of Tinna."         "Wow! That's the best news I have received so far today, am happy for you bro!" "Come to think of it Mike,( he frowns) why the dinner, why inviting all of us to a dinner that could have been perfect for you and Tessy?" "Because I can't make our relationship personal!" (holding his shoulder with both hands).  "We have rules not to exceed our normal friendship and I have a weird girlfriend!" "Bros leave my neck first, calm down, Emma said, take a deep breathe and calm yourself down, let me think."
    After some minutes, "ok Mike I think I have a plan, first tell Tessy about your feelings, then leave your girlfriend to me, she will let you have Tessy."  Wa na, what are you planning now Emma, how do think Tinna will let me have Tessy without raising hell? Mike protests" "Just go ahead and plan your dinner for us, let me plan mine, we shall see tomorrow at the restaurant."
