SHANTEL

I felt the lowest ever to stoop so low for a man again. I always wear my heart on my sleeve.
I did fancied Mike for sometime but it was hard to admit it.
I knew for a fact that he was always gonna choose her girlfriend over me.
The day I saw Wendy, I knew she was a competition to me and she already won his heart already.
I was so disappointed although it was expected since i know Mike already have a girlfriend but everything just happened so quickly.

I was seated in my Sofa browsing through my new phone Mike bought for me.

I decided to go to see my dads property I inherited from him after my Netflixmovie.

I cannot believe I actually put that bungalow house the least of my priorities over two good for nothing men.
I needed to sort out my life back on track and link up with my girls for some late night parties.

I haven't heard from my girls since I lost my phone. I decided to call one of my girls number on my new phone.
Luckily I knew melody number by heart.

What's up with you? It's Shantel

I been calling you non stop. What happened to your phone.

Girl it got broken. I replied

Is your laptop not working because I text you on Facebook. She asked

You know I hardly use my laptop and I wasn't even on that planet to think about reaching to you on facebook.

I been working my ass like a donkey that's why I haven't been able to see you
I was going to come see you tomorrow you know? Melody said with enthusiasm

No problem, your welcome anytime.
See ya tomorrow babe. I added

I was just trying to somehow enjoy the afternoon breeze although it was difficult.
I had some shorts of Hennessy and was on my own planet.

I couldn't even focus on the movie I was watching.

I heard a ring on my door and I was wondering who it was.

I looked through the peep and it was Mike and his parents.
As much as I didn't wanted to see Mike, i was somehow happy to see him.
I didn't really know about his parents tho.
They just like throwing me with questions after questions all the time. Am certainly not in the mood for that.
It was just going to be awkward.

Hello Shantel, I heard your phone was broken so we thought to come and see you.
Mrs Bri Said while giving me a peg kiss.

She already started and I knew it was going to be a hell of a day.

Mike looked like a guilty suspected person coming to a court hearing.
He barely looked at me. He looked like he didn't want to be here or perhaps its because of what happened the last time.

Yeah, I actually got another phone. I replied forcing a smile.

Mr Stephen hugged me and said nice to see you again

You too Mr Stephen

The moment I turned to Mike, it was a living hell.
You alright he said

I nodded and quickly said come in.

Do you still drink Shantel? It's not good for you. Mrs Bri picked up my Hennessy bottle

I already had enough. This woman always had a lot to ask.
Yeah, just a little bit I replied

Lemme get something for you.
I offered them some refreshments.

I was kind of looking down the whole time.
I couldn't see Mike the same way after that.
I have never felt like a total stranger in my own house.

So how is work and things? Mr Stephen asked

Am going to resume back to work in the next two weeks. I had to take a month off.

Yeah you do need it, your such a strong soul.
Keep it up, Mr Stephen added

Thank you, I replied

Can we have your new phone number? I would like Wendy to add you on WhatsApp Mike added.
It was very strange what Mike just said. Was that the reason why he wants my number? I asked my damn self. I didn't want to give my number out like that. What made it a smart idea is the fact that he is asking me infront of his parents. I can't say no. What a smart guy he really is.

Erm yeah. I took out my phone and gave out my new number to them.

So what's your secret Shantel? You look really good. Mrs Bri asked

Thank you....
