I stopped the car beside his and we got down.
He was sitting on the car bonnet with his palms on his cheek…
Like he’s frustrated…
Like he’s thinking..
Probably how to decieve me with his fake sweet words again.
He’s stupid apologies.
He looked up….and he was in tears.
He’s crying.
Well, so much like he used to do whenever he comes to me to apologise.
And I’ll stupidly fall for his fake tears.
But not anymore.
“Just get the keys and let’s get in. We got stuffs to do and celebrate.” Tola said loudly so he could hear.
Chima on hearing that, jumped down from the bonnet and instantly went down on his knees in my front.
Tola hissed loudly.
“I’m going to press the doorbell.” She said and walked away to the gate.
“Amanda, please don’t do this to me. Not after all we shared. I love you Amanda. I’m so sorry, Just give me another chance and I promise not to hurt you in any way. I was stupid. I was a fool to hurt you. Please Amanda, give me another chance. Don’t leave me.. I’m begging you.” He said, in tears.
I didn’t care.
Everything Ada said rang in my head.
Everything he did and the ones he was planning to do.
“How’s Ada?” I asked.
“I don’t know. She escaped.. She ran after telling all that to you.” He said.
“Yeahh.. She ran because she know who you are and what you’re capable of…. Obviously, you would have strangled her and murdered her just the same way you strangled my feelings for you… Strangled everything I did for you and murdered my love, my heart which I gave to you!” I fumed.
“And I’m begging you for another chance Amanda, I’m deeply regretting everything. Please Amanda. Don’t do this to me. I love –” I cut him short.
“Don’t you dare say those words to me. You are nothing but a waste of time. I wasted my all in loving you. Loving the wrong person… Giving him everything, including my body! Thank God for Ada…Or else maybe by this time, I would have been scammed of two million naira by you.”
“Amanda, I p—” I still cut him short.
“Well, how about your aunty’s health? Has she been cured or the money wasn’t still enough? You need another one. Maybe a million naira?” I scoffed.
He shook his head. “No Amanda.. Nothing like such ever again. I promise I’ve regretted everything I did.” He said.
“Ah, I hope you came with Niece?.. Well, I’m guessing her name is Ada. Your ex-girlfriend who you duped Right?” I laughed.
“Amanda…”He stood up and came to hold me but I pushed him away.
“Don’t you ever!” I barked.
Just then, Louis pulled the gate open and came out.
Wow… Why’s he looking more cute??
I smiled..
He threw me a thumb up with his two hands.
I smiled more.
Tola stood beside him and was staring at me and Chima.
Her face wasn’t looking good at all…
Then she started walking towards us.
I faced Chima with a straight face.
“Give me the keys to that car..” I said.
He gasped.
“Yes. And be fast about it.” I said with my palm out.
“Amanda . Baby.. you can’t do this. It hasn’t gotten to this. We can’t break up. We are meant to be together. You cant take the key. Please baby. Just hear me out.” He begged, kneeling again.
“I can call the police now.. Are you getting the car keys or not.” Tola said.
Louis was beside Tola now.
“I’m. Going. To. Call. My. Friends. They will beat. You. Up. They. Are. Deadly. Very Deadly. See. Them. Over there. Watching. Just. A sign and. They. Are. Here.” Louis said, suprising me.
Tola concured with him by nodding.
Chima glanced at him..
Then we all looked over to see three guys.
I arched my eyebrows “So?”
He stood up.
“Give her the keys.. It’s her car. You are wasting our time here!” Tola barked at him.
He looked straight into my eyes, “Amanda, Are you really breaking up with me? Are you seriously asking me to hand this key back to you?”
“Be fast about it.” I said.
He brought out the key from his pocket and I was quick in snatching it out of his hand.
I dashed to the car, got in…. Threw out everything that belong to him..and drove into the house.
Tola drove in my own car.
We left him there standing like a wasted and confused idiot that he is.

“Gosh! I’m so happy you kicked him on his ass. Such an Idiot!” Tola spat as we got down.
Tola and I carried everything we bought for Louis inside with him following behind.

>>>> Chima’s P.O.V >>>>
I’m on the couch, a cigarette in one hand and an alcohol in the other hand.
“I’ve been such an asshole!” I spat as I gulped from the alcohol.
“Amanda was so good… She was the best. Why didn’t I fucking realise that? Why was I focused on the money!” I cried.
“Now, she doesn’t wanna listen to me! I’m regretting every damn things I’ve done to her. I’m regretting. I love Amanda so much. I never thought I will. I really want everything to come back to how we were.” I cried and gulped another bottle then smoked.
This is what I’ve been here, sitting and doing for the past one hour now.
Nine empty bottles and I’m on the tenth.
Louis!
Who’s really that guy?
Why must it be Amanda that would keep him in her house?
Psycho’s are not meant to stay in the house but at the psychiatric hospitals.
Amanda isn’t even a psychistrist!
Why should she be keep a psycho in her house..
Could…. Could he be the reason why Amanda is refusing my apologies?
I noticed her smiling at him that night she took my car!
She took the car!
Amanda could never do this to me..
She had caught me so many times cheating on her, I apologise and she accept so easily but…. Everything isn’t right anymore.
Amanda said ‘It’s over!’ and she was damn serious.
“Shit!” I gulped down the alcohol.
What do I just do! I can’t loose Amanda
