My seed my plant (chapter 3)
“Tom what's wrong with you, dude you are starting to scare me. ” “I want to tell you everything but not here ”Tom said holding James shoulders. “okay, let's leave but am driving, you don't seem to be in your right senses.”
“Stacy, please bring me the nylon fabric I asked for.” “ here you go” “thank you very much ”, “ lissy I know is not my place to say this but I will, Girl you have to get out there and have some fun, you're always either stuck here or in the house. I don't mean to be rude but get a life for yourself honey. ” “thank you Stacy for your concern, but I already have a life, I have my daughter and my mom. ” “And what happens if Renee grows up? Come on honey stop hiding behind your daughter. ” “Stacy............... am fine, if is time to meet someone am sure God will make it possible but for now, now love is not in my manuscript.” “is in it, you are not giving it a chance, do you see that nice Doctor who comes to see you every time he is in Accra? ” “you mean James? ” “yes, the tall handsome one, how did you meet him? ” “I met him when I was pregnant with Renee ” “ooh, so he knows you are a mother and is still visiting you, I think he likes you. ” I started laughing out loud “James?, like me? ” I laughed again “Stacy, James is just a friend and besides he is married, I went to his wedding about six months ago. ”I laughed again “woah, I did not see that coming, I think I should leave now ”Stacy said “Yeah sure, you should leave ”I said laughing out loud. Stacy is a very good friend even though she seems crazy sometimes. She been with me throughout my ups and downs. She always have freshness around her, very jovial and not forgetting kind and innocent. Having her around always lightens up my mood but also makes me miss Irena a lot. I still couldn't stop myself from believing that Irena's death wasn't suicidal. I believed she was murdered so I hired a private investigator to look into it. The reason who tried to kill me had also covered their tracks very well so we were not able to find anything. I was still hoping that we would find a a breakthrough. “And girl I forgot to tell you something, your man is on his way for ya. He's gonna find you and when he does, (she wisphers) I will be right here. ” I laugh out loud said“well, tell him am waiting. ”
“ So, dude you mean to tell me, you had a sexual intercourse with a stranger who happens to be hot and you did what???? ”“I acted stupid, I accused her of being a gold digger, like I did the opposite of what I was suppose to do”. Tom said with his head bowed.“ you insulted her instead of comforting? bro you messed it up” “ yeah I know, I know........ I know that I messed it” “ so what has this gotten to do with your change of attitude? ”James asked “well ever since that incident, I can't take this girl out of my mind, every time I remember that moment and the tears in her eyes it drives me nuts. I get angry when I remember how I treated her and it furstrates me, you know how I act when am frustrated. ” “yeah you act like a jerk. what are you planning on doing? ”Tom hesitates before answering “......... look for her..... I guess” James is surprised “look for her and why do you want to look for her? ” “I want to apologize to her ”Tom again with his head bowed “woah.... woah... woah.... bro hold on after three years you want to apologize to her?” “ yes just an apology” Tom said “bro don't tell me you're in love with the girl.” “I don't know what I'm feeling but will that be crazy? ” “yes of course, dude it's been three years, this girl has probably moved on”James said “what if she hasn't? , what if she is stuck in this dilemma like me? I need to see her so I can figure out my feelings. ” “ okay let's say, she is also stuck in this dilemma like you said, how the hell are you going to find her, when you were too proud to ask what her name was? ” “I have her picture in my memory. ” “good luck with that, but you do realize there could be someone out there who looks like her and she may even be in the country. ” “I don't care” “you know what you need to get your mind off things, so why don't you join me and Geena on our trip this weekend ”James said “where are you going? ” “not far, just Accra to lissy mothers birthday party ” “who is lissy? ”Tom asks “Lissy is a friend I met three years ago and she is quite pretty, she is not married but have a very beautiful daughter ” “Thanks but you know I don't do women with kids ”Tom states “okay come with us for fun, you might even see your Queen there ” “I doubt that but it's worth a try ” “see you then ”
“ yes please we're Expecting about 50 guest, please don't forget to bring in the hot dogs mum really loves those (phones ring), hello James how are you doing? ” “well I'm fine and how about my little angel? ” “she's fine and I'm also fine if you care to know” I answered and laughed “I know” “ well I guess I will see you this weekend” “ about........ that” “what do you mean? don't tell me you're not coming. ” “ lissy...... please relax I'm coming but I'm bringing someone along, are you cool with it? ” “of course I'm cool with, it see you this Saturday and greet my sister-in-law for me tell her I'll be expecting her so she should be early” “ I'll surely do so” “ see you James and take good care of yourself okay”. the week passed by real quickly and soon the Saturday party for mother Diana was on. everything is perfect. “Renee are you done dressing? ” “no mama can you help me? I want to look my very best today, I kind of have the feeling that I'm going to meet someone special today. ” “really??? ” “yes mama ” “ okay let's hope so ” “mama can I ask you a question? ” “of course dear you can ask me” “promise me you're not going to get angry or sad okay ” “Renee........ you are scaring me” “............ promise???? ” “okay......
