Entangled – Episode 18

A Story By Goddy Francis

” Skyler I’m not cheating, I truly love you.” Justin said walking into Skyler’s apartment.

” I didn’t say you’re cheating. Alright just try and dig things with low battery.” Skyler said and sat down.

” I’m sorry.” He pleaded.

” I know okay , I already move on I’m not ready to share a man with any lady not even low battery.” Skyler said.

” I get it, what do you think you are ?” Justin yelled.

” I’m skyler Roxcell deal with that pu$$y face.” Skyler said.

Edna and Jonah who was just returning from a meeting walked in.

” Again ?” Jonah questioned.

” He’s cheating.” Skyler burst out.

” I’m not cheating, I only have an affair with a prustitute and yes sky was the fault , she abandoned me she refused to pick my calls because of some Angelino guy. And then she found out, she’s really acting pathetic, relationship is all about trust , she doesn’t trust me at all.” Justin said.

Skyler looked down and frowned.

” Skyler what’s is wrong with you?” Jonah Asked.

” Justin shouldn’t dig on another woman even if I’m angry on some issues.” Skyler defended.

” Are you being serious? You’re cheating on me.” Justin yelled.

” Guys calm down. Skyler who’s this Angelino ?” Edna asked.

” A stupid boy she’s giving herself out. I warned you the last time that I don’t wanna find out if it’s true. I’m not joking you know that, I don’t joke with my promises, if you care about him this much do yourself a favor by staying away from him.” Jonah warned.

” I won’t warn you.” Jonah said and walked away.

” Skyler apologize to Justin.” Edna said.

She smirked and looked down at Justin.

” I’m sorry.”

” Justin it’s your turn to apologise, you shouldn’t have cheated in the first place even if she was pissing you off. Partners stick together.” Edna said.

” I’m sorry, sky.”

” I just want us to break up, I don’t love you anymore.” Skyler said and walked out.

” Skyler.” Edna called.

” I’m leaving..” Justin said and walked out.

” What on Earth is happening ?” Edna asked and left .

” I’m really tired of braiding your hair, you should think about shaving your hair.” Selene said .

” Jeez, you just don’t care about me.” I said .

” Really, you need to. Cause you complain a lot.”

” Well, I can’t. I might be really ugly. Like damn ugly.” I said and she Chuckled.

” It’s nice you know.” She said softly.

” What are your plans ?” I asked.

” I wanna go to college just like Laura. I need to complete my education.”

” Nice, but how possible Is that ?”

” Well I entered a scholarship and I’ll be taking their exams next week. Same with Laura but I’ve two scholarships in mind. South Africa is setting up a competition for artiste and each winner will be granted a scholarship to school in Pretoria.”

” Nice catch. Boys hates school.” I said and Selene Chuckled.

” And that’s not right at all .” She said and I whimper.

” You wanted to talk about something, what was that ?”

” Yeah. Michael..”

” The manager ?” Selene asked.

” Yeah he said he likes you.”

” What ? No way..”

” There’s a way. He was really serious about it, cause he gave me the goodies and ten thousand Rands.” I said

” Why?”

” Because he likes you and he wants me to talk to you. I don’t talk for free so we made a deal. ”

” Angel you’re selling me out ?”

” I’m not, he’s nice and rich. He’s your manager and he’s capable of anything.”

” I can’t date my manager, that’s fucked up, I mean who would be having an affair with her manager and still sees the relationship as a serious one ?” Selene asked.

” You’ve always admired him.”

” How did you know ?”

” Well I know because I know. You’ve always dreamed to date him. You said you wished he doesn’t get married even after you stop working as a sales rep.” I said.

” f**k.” She whispered.

” I won, you just need to give him a chance.”

” He has a horrible attitude, just like Justin.”

” Have you forgotten so soon ?”

” Yeah I get it, you remember easily. ”

” Thank God you remembered.”

” I’ll think about it.” She said and I sighed.

” Keep him a little longer, I really need to gather a lot.” I said and Selene chuckled.

” That’s bad.” She whispered.

” Really ? You shouldn’t think about giving him sex by the way.”

” Yes dad.” She replied.

” I’m not your father.” I whispered and Chuckled.

” Michael is a freak, so weird you have an eye on him.” I said.

” Yeah weird. It’s so weird Laura can’t let you go either.” Selene said and I scoff.

” I’m good looking and I’m just too good.” I said to her and smiled.

” Weirdo. I’m done , next time Laura should do your braids or Skyler.” Selene said.

” And talking about Skyler.. what’s up with her ?” Selene asked.

” f**k , Skyler is fine and she’s okay.” I said standing up.

” Angel you love her.”

She said and I kept quiet.

” Angel do you love her ?”

” I don’t okay. Don’t try to force me to love her.” I yelled a bit.

” f**k you.” Selene said and walked out.

I took a deep breath and sat down. God what on Earth is happening ? I was really confused. Selene barely gets angry, but she would never understand.

I went outside to meet the boys who was playing football.

” Hey lino , you wanna play ?” Alex asked.

” Junk ball ?” I asked and chuckled.

” You’re crazy.” Thando said giving the ball a pass.

I saw someone walking towards our direction with her sun glasses on.

” f**k.” I said softly.

She walked into the yard and everyone was just staring at her including the guys. Thando cleared his throat and gave me a thumbs up.

” Hey lino.” She said smiling.

” Hi.”

” Can we talk privately ?” She asked.

I can’t give her what she wants. I sighed and left with her to a place where she parked her car.

” So.?” I asked.

” You still didn’t call me.” Bibi said placing her hands on my chest.

I looked around and sigh it seems deserted.

” I can’t.” I said.

” Because of Skyler ?”

” I guess.” I said softly.

” I thought you said she’s not your girlfriend.”

” Kind of. Look Bibi I can’t do anything with you, I’m not hungry.” I said.

” I didn’t say that.” She said.

She grabbed my shirt and wanted to kiss me.

” Stop .” I said and removed her hands.

” You should stop coming here and I’m really serious. Friends don’t take what’s not theirs, you always want Skyler’s food and it’s not right. Skyler likes you a lot, she will be disappointed if she finds out about your seductive attitude towards her men. I’m sure you’ve also have your way with Justin.” I said.

” Enough, are you trying to insult me or what ? I won’t take it. The fact that I like you doesn’t mean I am a prustitute and I don’t have a life of my own.”

” I didn’t say that. Just stay away from me.” I said and walked out.

” No one has ever refused me before.” Bibi said softly.

” They are cheap I’m not cheap.” I said and left her.

What a disaster she was. I went back to the guys , they’ve stopped playing. Both of them stare at me and grinned mockingly.

” Now what ?” I asked them.

” I guess that’s Bibi ?”

” Yeah.” I replied.

” What does she want ?”

” Me.” I replied.

” Oh yeah. The pretty boy.” Alex said and chuckled.

” It’s not funny.” I said.

” She doesn’t want you, she wants your generation.” Thando said and Alex chuckled.

” I’m not a prustitute.” I said.

” So who said you’re ?” Alex asked.

” Prustitutes are girls who sell their body to men for money. It’s obvious you don’t have b**bs and a$$.” Thando said.

” I get it , digging Bibi means I’m a boystitute then. Look I can’t , I’ll never do such.” I said and sighed.

” Because of sky ?”

I kept quiet and take a deep breath.

” I get it, you’re in love with her.” Thando said and I refused to say a word.

” Lino you need to talk. I mean love isn’t a bad thing, love is beautiful..” Alex said.

” Enough..” I said.

” I’m tired of this love issues. I’m not in love I’m just confused.”.

” Confused about what ? If you like or love her ?” Alex asked.

” I don’t even know.” I whispered softly.

” Then just give us Bibi and Skyler’s connection and let’s bang them for you , as long as the money is falling that’s all we care for. Right Alex ?” Thando asked.

” I guess. You may probably fall sick. Rich girls are sex addicts their life is weird. But I think I like Skyler for you. You guys are perfect like Romeo and Juliet.” Alex said and thando scoff.

” I don’t like any of them. Spoilt rich girls with horrible dad’s and horrible boyfriend. It’s so weird your girlfriend has a boyfriend. Sit up bro I’m inside.” Thando said and walked inside.

” Don’t tell me you’re confused.” Alex said.

” I’m not.” I said not even sure.

” Cool, let’s go inside.” Alex said and smiled.

I nodded and followed him.

I was In my room one evening when someone knocked it was Selene.

” Hey.” She called and I waved.

” Someone is here to see you.”

I stare at my door and saw Skyler, she walked in and smiled. Selene winked and walked out.

” Hi.” Skyler said smiled.

” Hi.” I said walking towards her.

” You’re okay ?” She asked.

” Sure I’m just surprised to see you.” I said.

I opened the window and Skyler sat on my bed. She picked a magazine on my bed and gigles to nothing in particular.

” You read about girls now ?” She asked holding the magazine.

I collected it from her and kept it aside.

” It’s not what you think. I was bored.” I said and sits next to her.

She smiled and gigles.

” I’m sorry for walking out like that and for not picking up your calls properly this few days.”

” It’s fine I get it.” I said and smiled at her.

” You didn’t go to work today?” She asked.

” Off.” I said and she nodded.

” Why didn’t you call ?” I asked.

” I wanted to surprise you.”

” Surprise, I hate surprises.” I said and she chuckled.

” Why ?”

” I don’t know..” I said and smiled at her.

” I missed you.” She said and smiled broadly.

” Thanks.” I said.

” Didn’t you miss me ?” She asked.

” I do.” I said and smiled at her.

” I missed you more.” Skyler said and winked.

I chuckled and sighed.

” I got something for you.” She said.

She opened her bag and brought out a cheque which she obviously stretched it to me.

” A cheque ?” I asked.

She smiled and nodded.

” Sky I can’t.”

” Why ? You’ve always said you wanna move out. I thought you might need that.”

” I can’t take money from you. This is a thousand rands , it’s a lot.” I said.

” You need it.” She said.

Skyler caressed the back of my head and looked down at my eyes. Accepting money from Skyler was the last thing I can think of.

” Close your eyes.” She whispered.

I nodded and closed my eyes. I felt Skyler’s lips pressed against mine. She continued and kissed me deeply. I couldn’t help but kissed back. Someone walked in and distracted us.

” f**k.” I whispered.

Laura stood still staring at us with her angry look.

” I think no matter how close people are to you, they deserve some privacy.” Skyler said.

Laura let out an horrible laughter which got me really pissed.

” Seriously you’re just a cheating as***ole.” Laura burst out.

” What !” Skyler exclaimed.

” Laura..” I called.

” Yeah. Just stick your broke a$$ to your horrible boyfriend. You’re whipped b***h.” Laura yelled.

” Alright.. we’ll talk later lino..” Skyler said and walked out.

” Skyler..” I called out but didn’t get a reply. She was far gone.

Laura groan at me and smirked.

” Seriously having an affair with someone’s girlfriend, are you this cheap ?”

” b***h you’re not my girlfriend and it’s so irritating if you keep acting like my girlfriend.” I yelled.

She mimicked and laughs.

” Angel we had sex don’t try to forget about that.”

” Are you being serious , b***h you drug me you made me sleep with you and you know that..”

” Oh yeah , pray to your God I don’t get pregnant, because if I do you dare not deny the pregnancy because you won’t dare. I will make sure I ruin your life.” Laura yelled.

” Lorah are you threatening me ?” I asked.

” Nigga I don’t make threats . Just pray I don’t get pregnant if not you’re gonna blame your broke life.” She yelled and stormed out.

Oh my God !

I felt like committing suicide. I was really scared and cold. Lorah was the worst human any one can encounter with. I fell on my bed and weep.
