WHEN A WOMAN WANTS (EPISODE 1)

Francis slammed his eyes shut as the guy hurriedly
picked up the pieces of his clothing that were
scattered on the floor to cover his naked butt.
“Sorry man” the guy said as he hurriedly left the room.
Debby hunched over at the edge of the bed, holding
the blanket against her nakedness. Unable to meet his
gaze, his chest burned and his throat constricted with
pain… He had exhausted himself emotionally. He
however inhaled a deep breath and breath out slowly.
Deborah…….

She made no response as she curled into a ball,
covering her face with her hands.
“Deborah” he called again what have you done again?
How could you do this again? Is it a curse or
something? Wasn’t that your ex that maltreated you?”
He prayed he wouldn’t lose his mind.

Her lips quivered and a cry escaped her “I’m sorry,”
she whimpered

Cold anger and raw hatred began thrumming through
his veins and he took hold of the plastic chair close to
the T.V and swung it against the wall. The chair
scattered into pieces making a clattering noise on the
floor.

“You are sorry..?” He gritted her teeth as he advanced
towards the bed while she recoiled further, “you were
sorry for the last one and the one before and the one
after that and now you are sorry again …!” he basked
in silence and sat at the tip of the bed, frustration
crinkled his eyes.

“I’m so sorry Francis please…..” she sobbed, edging
closer to him but the look he gave her made her move
back.
“What exactly is your problem Deborah”? Why do you
like hurting me this much? Is it a crime to love! This is
the third year of our relationship for God’s sake! And
you had to cheat on me on the day of our anniversary”
he lamented and dipping his hand in his pocket
brought out a box…. Look… I said look up!” He shouted
at her.

She gasped as she saw the ring… her lips quivering…..
“Francis….. Please forgive me this last time, I promise
it won’t happen again” she pleaded amidst sobs.
He laughed bitterly “because I’m a fool right?”
