Episode Eight (8) – “Open Wounds”

When he saw me, I could tell from his eyes, he wanted me, just like I did. I walked straight to him, sat on his laps facing him, and immediately planted a kiss on his lips.

I felt his hand on my waist. His grip was so firm. Our lips were locked up. How I held his head while kissing him said it all – I MISS HIM.

Soon, my kissing followed with soft moans. I was totally out of control and all I wanted was him.

I held back and stopped kissing him. I wanted to catch a glimpse of his eyes.

“I love you AK” I whispered. Then I kissed him again. This time around, I got more naughty. I wanted to feel him below. Slowly, with a single hand, i unzipped his trouser and slowly held onto his manhood.

This was not my AK. There was no erection at all. What I thought should be rigid and firm, was rather on a holiday.

Well, I gave in my all by kissing him more and stroking his manhood but there wasn’t even a tick or a twitch.

Suddenly, AK couldn’t take it anymore, he pushed me away and got up. He then zipped his trouser back and that was when I began to feel embarrassed.

Maybe I rushed into this or AK didn’t find me attractive any longer. I felt really uneasy. What could be the problem? This wasn’t the AK I knew.

He used to be the wild type. He knows how I want it just by giving him a look. Everything had turned around now.

“I’m sorry Ruth. I can’t do this. I’m really sorry” He said.

“AK, is something wrong with me? Have you stopped loving me” I asked.

“The problem is not about you, Ruth” AK said.
“It’s about me, I belong to another” He added and showed me his marriage ring on his finger.

How did I fail to see it. Oh My God! I was so heartbroken and ashamed of myself.

“Things have changed. I’m really sorry but we have to talk” He said.

I felt useless at that point. The only thing I had to do was to show him the door. I couldn’t take it any longer.

“Just get out, Please. I want to be alone” I said.

Episode Seven (7) – “Blast from the Past”

“You’ve been arrested for the murder of Vanessa. You’re advice to remain silence for whatever you say may be you use as evidence in the court of law.”

Everyone has a closet in his wardrobe. We all have secrets. Well, I do too. Stuck in this cells, waiting for my attorney to come, i think I should just let the cat out of the bag.

Vanessa and my brother had a history some time back. As far as I’m concerned, Vanderwal was Vanessa’s first love.

Their relationship didn’t lust long because of the abusive nature of my brother. And just few days ago I saw Vanessa’s bracelet in my brother’s room.

Somehow, I had a strong feeling that my brother had a hand in this. It’s been three days now since I got arrested and since then, Vanderwal haven’t been seen or heard from.

I guess there was a lot about my brother that I didn’t know of. I told the police, that I had no hand In this and that was the truth.

The more I think about this, the more I felt uneasy. I kept crying for getting myself involved in this whole mess and for the lost of my friend Vanessa.

I should have found a way of resolving our differences rather than getting my brother involved.

And for my brother, Vanderwal, if my suspicions were right- I won’t ever forgive him.

I heard keys jingling and footsteps coming towards the cell. It was Ama, the detective.

She eventually opened the cell and called my name out.

“You’ve been bailed out” she said. “However, your brother is wanted. If you really don’t want to end up behind bars again, alert us when you see him.”

Then I nodded my head.

“You really have some good connections” Ama said as we walked to the police counter.

“You really need to thank this man. He fast tracked everything” She added.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw him. It was AK, my long missing ex.

I stood there, wondering if this was all a dream. He noticed how I was stunned.

“A hug will do” He said.

I quickly walked towards him, and gave him a tight hug.

His smell, was good as always. I miss him alot. And what a moment, when I needed help, he had showed up.

“Let’s get out of here, we have a lot to talk about” AK said.

It didn’t take long to get to my place, and indeed, there was no sign of my step brother.

It didn’t really mattered to me now, I was with AK.

I wanted to know where he has been and what he has been up to but again, that can wait until I finished taking my bath.

I had this crazy idea, I don’t know what came over me. Just when I finished bathing, with my towel wrapped on my body, I just dashed to the hall, where AK was seated.

When he saw me, I could tell from his eyes, he wanted me, just like I did. I walked straight to him, sat on his laps facing him, and immediately planted a kiss on his lips.

Episode Five (6)- “Time with the Law”

I pushed him away. It was my best friend Vanessa. Apparently, she had been following Ampofo around without him noticing it.

I could see how disappointed she was.

“Wait. There’s more to this than you think” I said.

She couldn’t hold it any longer. Her rage wouldn’t let her.

“How could you? “ Vanessa asked.

Like I’ve been struck by lightning, I was short of words. I didn’t know what to say. I was surprised to see Ampofo mute like dumb.
He could have said something.

The next thing, Vanessa just dashed off in anger. Like a coward, Ampofo followed her shortly afterwards.

I was left alone at the restaurant, lost in thoughts and wondering how I got myself into this mess.

How was I to know. I had no idea it was Ampofo I was meeting and now it has cost a friendship which was built from our infancy.

Weeks past and Vanessa was avoiding me. She didn’t pick my calls either. This was where I felt I needed the help of my brother, Vanderwal.

I explained everything to him and just what I expected he decided to help. All I had to do was to lay back and wait on him.

Days turned to weeks and eventually, it was getting close to a month since i involved my brother yet he didn’t give me any feedback.

I couldn’t wait any longer. I had to confront him and find out what was really going on.

Vanderwal sat on the sofa busy on his phone.

“How long are you going to keep me waiting”. I asked.

“What are you talking about?” He answered.

“Oh don’t tell me you’ve forgotten. Hold on! Let me guess. You’re busy thinking of your boy lover – Barista” I said

“Watch your mouth Woman” He warned. I could see the surprise on his face when I said that.

Before we could go any further. The doorbell rang. I went ahead to check who it was and to my surprise, it was the cops. Three in all, one lady and two guys.

“Good evening. Madam” the lady greeted.

“Evening, how may I help you” I asked.

“I’m detective Ama Kodesh from the police headquarters. I believe you’re Ruth.” She asked.

Then I nodded in response. She immediately brought out her handcuffs and cuffed me.

“You’ve been arrested for the murder of Vanessa. You’re advice to remain silence for whatever you say may be you use as evidence in the court of law.”

Episode Five (5) – “Mirror on the Wall”

Out of curiosity, I wanted to see what was going on. And to my surprise, I saw my brother having sex with another male – Barista, our Gardner.

Who was I to question my brother? I must admit, I’ve never seen this side of my brother and that really shocked me.

I decided to let sleeping dogs lie. I pretended I never knew what was going on and indeed he never suspected anything either.

Days past and I was beginning to feel depressed. Everything I dreamt of, in relationship was nothing but a fantasy..

This was eating me up. Indeed, no man can live in isolation.

To overcome my loneliness, I found myself spending more time at the gym than usual and this morning was no different.

Before I stepped out of the house, just at my door, I saw a Bouquet of Flowers with my name on the tag.

The sender was anonymous however on the tag had the inscription “Dinner at 7pm – Starbite”

That was just across the street. I didn’t know who this came from but I had a strong feeling that it was from my ex and to be honest, I was extremely excited about it.

He was the only one who knew how I was so fond of flowers and I couldn’t just wait for the moment.

That day was longer than usual. The clock was ticking slowly as I was so much desperate to see him. I wondered where he had been and indeed I had a lot of questions for him.

I stood right in front of the mirror. My dinner wear was fitting enough to see my curves. A armless dress that partially exposed my firm breast.

A little make-up on my face and my hairstyle was a long ponytail. Right in the mirror, I knew I was looking elegant and seductive.

I was missing something! YES! The perfume. I splashed myself with the perfume giving me a refreshing fragrance.

I set off and in no time I was at star-bite 30 minutes earlier. A perfect cozy venue with a romantic scene. I spotted a table for two and quickly made myself comfortable on the table.

I wanted to see him before he does. I didn’t know how I was going to react when I see him. I was very optimistic to see him than to hear what he had to say about his sudden disappearance.

I felt a warm touch on my shoulder behind me. It felt soft and I liked it. I knew it was him. He is here. I turned around to see him but to my surprise it was Ampofo again.

I was disappointed. I wasn’t expecting him and I didn’t want to see him at all.

Just then he knelt down and looked up at me. I was surprised to see his eyes teary. Everyone around noticed us and that made me uncomfortable.

Just to avoid any more unwanted attention, I took him by the hand and he got up on his feet. He actually bought it and thought I had forgiven him.

Before I knew it, Ampofo had hugged me tight.

The next I head was my name.

“Ruth?.What!!! ?

I pushed him away. It was my best friend Vanessa. Apparently, she had been following Ampofo around without him noticing it.

Episode Four (4) – “Thin Line”

At this point I just didn’t know what I have gotten myself into. My Bestfriend and I were practically dating the same guy.

I never saw this coming but at the moment, for friendship sake, I had to keep everything to myself and that meant – lying.

“We really don’t know each other that much” I said. “Our path crossed at the mall just yesterday and he offered me a ride home. That’s all”

The look on Vanessa’s face said it all. She didn’t believe what I was saying.

“That’s strange. He was with me the whole day” She said.

“Then I guess he has a lot of questions to answer when he wakes up” I said. “I have to be on my way now. Vanderwal must be worried”

“Is he back already” She asked.

I nodded and left immediately leaving Vanessa with Ampofo. That was really a close call. Aside all this, I was really hurt for letting Ampofo into my life.

He wasn’t worth it. All I felt was pain and hatred for him.

I guess there’s a thin line between love and hate after all.

I was determined not to let this get to me. However I completely shut all doors to emotions. I felt that, to be in love leaves you to be weak.

I’m not going to be weak anymore. I want to be strong and be on my own, besides I have no one to answer to.

Few days past. Vanessa was the one who kept me updated on Ampofo’s condition. He was responding to treatment.

It’s almost 12 AM. I was stuck in my room sipping on juice. For some time now, sleeping was not a thing for me.

My brother’s room was just across mine and I could hear moans coming out of his room. He was at it again.

Jumping from one lady to the other. I wasn’t really bothered about it just that the moans actually brought some memories with my ex.

Speaking of my ex, I never knew where he was, whether alive or dead. All I remembered was, one time I was so much in love and the next thing he had disappeared and till date, he’s nowhere to be found.

I threw myself in bed with my face stuck on the ceiling. I could still hear the moans coming from Vanderwal’s room.

I couldn’t take it any longer. I got out of my room just to get some more juice. I noticed my brother’s door was left ajar.

Out of curiosity, I wanted to see what was going on. And to my surprise, I saw my brother having sex with another male – Barista, our Gardner.

Episode Three (3) – “Double Date”

“The driver of the Nissan Micra car is reportedly dead on admission at the 37 Military Hospital” Akua Hans said as she read the news.

For a moment I thought I was dreaming. I thought this whole thing wasn’t real. I just stood there staring at the TV even when the news was over. I was shocked.

I had mixed feeling. I felt sad and confused yet there was not even a single drop of tears from eyes. Probably it’s because I had my own doubt.

I thought the best thing for me to do, is to rush to the hospital and see things for myself but here I was, stuck with my brother, Vanderwal.

He noticed how sad I was and questioned me yet I had a way of brushing him off. I needed to confirm the story. It was too hard to believe.

I found myself locked up in my room, figuring how I’m going to leave home without my brother noticing. The only person I could think of is Vanessa my best friend.

We’ve been friends for ages and normally she the girl that comes up with the crazy ideas. I needed her help with this.

Without delaying, I reached out to my phone and immediately called her number. Surprisingly there was no answer.

This was strange. The Vanessa I know will never missed my call for anything. She’s always with the phone.

I guess I was on my own now. I waited for Vanderwal to sleep and slowly I sneaked out of the house. Soon I was on my way to 37 Military Hospital.

It was almost 1 am when I got to the hospital. After quick enquiries. I was led to the emergency ward.

To my surprise, Ampofo was alive after all. He had a broken leg which was bandaged. The news got it wrong. He was alive.

Just when I saw him on the bed, I drew close to him and placed my hand on his hand, just to feel the life in him. Ampofo was fast asleep that he didn’t noticed my presence.

All that mattered to me was that he was alive. I decided to stay with him for awhile and somehow I blamed myself for being so hard on him.

Probably this wouldn’t have happened if I had just played along. Just when I thought all was calm, Vanessa, my best friend walked into the ward and that really surprised me.

We were both surprised to see each other at the ward and the question we both asked ourselves was “what was she doing here?”

Vanessa was quick to answer first

“That’s my boyfriend, Ampofo, the one have been telling you about. Do you know each other” She asked.

I couldn’t believe my ears. Vanessa have been talking about her boyfriend anytime we met but I had never gotten the chance to meet him.

At this point I just didn’t know what I have gotten myself into. My Bestfriend and I were practically dating the same guy.

Episode Two (2) – “ Late Hour News”

I felt this whole thing was totally a mistake.
This meet up shouldn’t have happened.

“Is this how we planned it? We’re supposed to have our own moment, what happened to all what we talked about” I said.

“I knew it, I knew you are the nagging type. What is wrong with this place. Have you even considered how this will mean to me” Ampofo said.

I didn’t see this coming. Right there I knew Ampofo was “No No” for me. There he is, telling me right in the face that I’m the nagging type.

“Wow” a shock of the century. I wasn’t ready to argue with him. At this point, I just wanted to go home and be alone.

“Can you just take me home” I asked.

Without any response, he angrily just opened the car door and waited for me to join. I thought Ampofo was the gentle type but the sweet guy I met online was definitely not the one I’m seeing now.

There was no way I was going to continue with this relationship. This is another dead end.

I sat in his car and through out our entire time., there was total silence. In less than 30mins, we had gotten to my house.

There was no goodbyes, not even a single word. Ampofo just drove off right after I got out of the car.

A terrible night indeed.

I didn’t turned on the lights before leaving the house for the so called date but I was surprised to find it on upon my return.

Someone was definitely in the house. I wasn’t expecting anyone but I was adamant to see that there could be danger ahead.

Just when I began walking towards the door, the door opened from the inside and there he was, Vanderwal, my step brother.

He was supposed to be in the states. What was he doing here? There again, I wasn’t really surprised, my step brother was very secretive.

We didn’t really get along very much. I felt he was too strict and always looking out for me like I was a child. Anyway. I was glad he had returned.

“I thought you’ll be here by the end of the month” I said when I saw him.

“Is this the way to welcome your brother home” He rhetorically asked.

He’s right. Vanderwal can be very annoying but I still loved him. I walked over and gave him big hug. It’s been about 3 years now since he left for the states.

I had my step brother to make my night after a terrible date with Ampofo. Just before I went to shower and retired to bed, the late hour news on Television got my attention.

It was Akua Hans, the popular Ghanaian Newscaster at it again with her breaking news.

Apparently there was a terrible accident on Accra High street.

I noticed the car immediately when I saw the shoots from the camera. It was Ampofo’s car. He had been involved in an accident.

The last words of Akua Hans kept Re echoing in my ears and my heart kept beating fast.

“The driver of the Nissan Micra car is reportedly dead on admission at the 37 Military Hospital” Akua Hans said as she read the news

Episode One (1) – “Date Chapter”

Dear Diary,

No one was supposed to see this. We had it all plan. A perfect date that should have ended up with him thrusting me.

After several months hitting up each other online, I felt this date was going to be as we had planned it.

A night beach with less crowd and a cool music that will drive and wake up our inner desires.

Well, at least he got the venue right only that the place was quite dirty and not really accommodative.

But hey, I thought love will make me look beyond that but my sensitive nose could pick the scent of human fesses around yet I couldn’t tell where it was coming from.

I thought my date, my love, my boyfriend, Ampofo, will see my discomfort but here he was, running his mouth and complementing my looks.

The whole date was a turn-off and deeply I wish we may have met under different circumstance. I tried as much as I can to play along but things were getting out of hand.

Guest kept trooping in and soon the whole place was crowded. The music was now suddenly loud and a table that was meant for two was now occupied by other couple.

There was no doubt of my love for Ampofo but I just couldn’t see myself through this date.

People were smoking here and there and I just couldn’t bare the scent of the cigarette. I had run out of options. Without any prior notice, I just took my purse and told Ampofo to take me out of here.

I expected him to just do it without questioning but once again, my expectations failed me.

“Are you okay Ruth” He asked.

Least i forget, My name is Ruth. A young lady whom I didn’t see myself to be a dating type, suddenly falling in love with this guy, Ampofo, whom I met on social media.

I decided to give it a try because inwardly loneliness was killing me. What we both planned of a perfect date had actually turned out to be the opposite.

And I blame my desperation for bring me this far.

This is my story and I hope i climaxed this event I’m penning down in my dairy with a happy ending.

Back to my date chapter, I refused to answer him. I just moved out and went to stand beside his Nissan Micra parked at the parking lot.

Shortly afterwards, Ampofo followed. This was where I was expecting him to ask the question but he appeared to be upset.

“Why would you walk out on me like that, you’ve totally disrespected me” Ampofo said.

I was surprised to hear him say that. Honestly I didn’t expect this reaction from him. I could see the anger in his eyes and I was surprised that he didn’t see how bad this date was turning out to be.

I felt this whole thing was totally a mistake.
This meet up shouldn’t have happened.
