"Yes what is the occasion?
Charity ask Gina as soon as she

on the dining table."
"Am so happy today and I want
us to eat together. Gina said."
"Ok, even though you are happy
and wants to feed the whole
country, won’t that be in your
husband’s house? Why are we
here.? Charity was curious."
"That will be a topic for another
day but right now, we are here
to celebrate."
"Celebrate what exactly? Charity
keep asking."
"Hey.. Patrick welcome, Gina
rush to hug him, acting as if she
didn’t know what she was doing."
"Heyy.. Patrick greeted Charity
who was dumbfounded by what
she is seeing."
'Hi….., she said back at Patrick
waving two of her fingers, you
are welcome please sit. Charity
offered Patrick a sit and start
saving food and running around
not knowing that Patrick knows
this house more than her."
"Heyy.. is that not Patrick? And
how come you’re preparing dinner
for this guy at your house?
Seeing he is too handsome for
the two of you to be alone in
a house."
"You like him.? Gina ask Charity
smiling, at least is working
without much effort on her side."
"Hell no, I don’t just like him, I
love him, that is the word to
use, “LOVE.”
"Charity you can’t love someone
you just met. Gina reminded her."
"Yes, thank you for your kind
reminder but I’ve seen him once
but not this close and I don’t have
much time to waste on knowing
people for long, now is straight
love or nothing."
"Hahahaha, they both laugh
and Patrick start wondering
what is making those two laugh
so loud in the kitchen and why
are they taking long to come out?"
"Gina am leaving Patrick shouted
so they can at least come out of
that damn kitchen."
"We will be right out, Gina
shouted back at Patrick."
"Let’s go before he got tired
of waiting."
"Ohh… your right, go..go..go..go…
Charity push Gina to go and
attend to him while she get
prepared to meet her man."
"OMG, he is so handsome, tell,
beautiful, good looking, and I
will be his queen, thank you Gina
for inviting me to this wonderful
dinning, I will forever remain
grateful to you, she keeps
blabbing in the bathroom for
minutes.
But what happen to Gina? where
is her baby and why is she in
her father’s house? That girl is
something else. She needs to tell
me everything that is happing
to her.
When she came back to the
dinning Gina and Patrick has
started eating."
"So you guys can’t wait for
me?" Charity ask, trying to strike
A Conversation.
"Yea, there is so much food
so just help yourself Gina said
looking at Patrick as if to say
“say something to her."
Patrick looked at Gina using
his eyes to speak to her “what do
you want me to say?”
Charity looked from Gina to
Patrick and was wondering what
this two are up to. "I hope they
are not dating? If so what
happen to ken?
'Am coming let me make a
call Gina said and left they table.
She looked back at Patrick when
she was leaving, and made eye
contact with him that said, “do
something”
Patrick didn’t know where to
start so he just went with
something like “this food is
delicious."
"Yea, Charity reply."
"So what is your name."
"Who? Me? Charity said looking
round to see if there is another
pretty girl around but no, it was
just she and Patrick at the table."
"Yes, you Patrick said laughing
at her behavior."
"Ohh.. don’t mind me, my name
is Charity."
"Ok, am patrick."
"I know."
"Really, how did you know?"
"Well, I have seen you once with
Gina and I also know you two
are dating."
"What? Patrick ask almost
throwing up his drink."
"Oh.. no..no..no.. am sorry I
didn’t mean that."
"No, is ok Patrick said, why
will you say that? He ask."
"I don’t know, I see the way you
looked at her every time and I
said to myself oh. That is love."
"Hahahaha Patrick laugh."
"Why are you laughing? Charity
ask with a straight face."
"You, you making me laugh,
she is my friend and I don’t look
at her the way you describe."
"Yea, maybe am wrong because
she later got married to ken and
I realize oh.. maybe my
obviation is wrong."
"Yea, you and your observation
are total wrong."
"But you know am telling the truth,
you love Gina but you can’t bring
yourself to telling her because
you think she might say no."
"What the hell are you talking
about.?"
"Don’t pretend not to know what
am talking about, you love her
just admit it and move on
because she is already married."
"So what are you driving at?"
"The way you two behavior
whenever you are together,
your body language always
betray you."
"Patrick knew that Charity
was saying the truth, he just can’t
control his feelings whenever
it comes to Gina."
"So what do you want me to do."
"Move on Patrick, move on, you
can’t fight for your love now, she
is already married."
"Well thank you for your advice,
and I know she is married and
am not planning to take over
another man’s wife."
"Good, so when next, stop
looking at her like that, everyone
always notice, she said almost
whispering."
"Patrick was so dumfounded,
is it that obvious? I hope I have
not been making a fool of myself
he started questioning himself."
"Hmmm, don’t think about it too
much ok, just eat your food, we
all have been there one time or
the other, Charity said not looking
at Patrick but was just eating and
talking at the same time."
"So what about you? Patrick
ask Charity."
"Me? What about me?"
"It looks like you are a love
expert Patrick said jokily."
"Am not a love expert, I just happen
to have lots of bad experience
about love and men."
"Hmm, so why not tell me a
little."
"And why will I do that? You
are a man, so why will I tell
you what you already know."
"What did I know? I don’t know
anything because like you am
also a victim of love."
