The reward of disobedience
There are very few reasons, why people fall in love.
For Amanda, she had fallen for Goodluck, and there is nothing, that could change how she feels about him, but what she doesn't understand is why she is thinking about Dave.
Though she knows that the fight between the both of them is temporal, she still feels she owes Dave some how.
She was thinking about so many things, almost at the same time, when her phone rang.
Even if she can hardly see, she would still know the number.
It was Dave's second number.
She did not save it, but she knows it.
Why he was calling her, is clear.
He may still be trying to get her to think about what he has told her, which is not possible for her, but she has an idea, she was going to be very Frank with him, when she sees him.
Most discussion are better off face to face.
If she keeps telling him on the phone, he may not understand it.
"Hello!
She tried to sound vibrant, so that he doesn't suspect that she is sad, from the attitude Goodluck is giving her.
"You sound very happy today.
I am glad".
She have achieved one of the things she wanted.
If he thinks she is sad, he may think she can be pulled away, but if he understands that she is very happy where she is, then he might have to move on without her.
"Yes I am happy.
It's Goodluck, he just knows how to make me happy".
Dave was shocked to hear that.
He could hear her voice, loud and clear, and she sure sounds happy.
"That is good, I am glad".
He says, trying to hide the hurt in his voice.
"Yes I am elated.
You know he was so angry with me, for what happened back there at the hospital, but I guess he understands that it is your fault and I could never have just kissed you like that".
Her statement hurt Dave, but once again, he refused to let it show.
He held his chest, as his heart was breaking badly.
"I need to see you Amy".
He spoke calmly.
Amanda is shocked, for she thought that all she was doing to get him to understand the message did not work.
"Yes I think we need to see".
She braced herself to speak.
You can come to the house.
I mean Goodluck's house;
She added.
She knows that he is going to refuse, but she just wanted to try.
"You know that is a bad idea.
He almost killed me the last time, but God saved me, I am still taking treatment from what he did to me, so u think you should come.
Even if it's for a few minutes".
After a long pause, Amanda cleared her throat many times, unsure if she should say yes or no.
She thought of Goodluck, and how he would react if he ever finds out she went out with Dave, and she didn't know how to tell Dave that she can not see him, so she agreed.
"Alright, I will come.
this evening".
Dave was so happy.
Amanda spent time with her daughter throughout that day.
In the evening, she got dressed and told her mother that she needed to get somewhere.
Her mother was happy to have her leave the house, for she want to have enough time to plan with Good luck who had also stepped out of the house to get things to make the evening more romantic.
He was going to make dinner and they are going to be together.
Amanda also wanted to make things right with Goodluck, which was one of the reasons, he wants to see Dave.
They should straighten things out.
"Will you take the car?
Her mother asked and she nodded her head as to say No.
The car Goodluck got for her, is a unique kind, his guards could find it parked at Dave's place and then alert him.
"I don't want to attract attention, I will only be out for an hour or so, I will soon be back, I will take a taxi".
Her mother nodded and allowed her get going.
Few minutes after she was gone, Mrs Chukwu's phone rang.
She thought it must be Goodluck, and she was correct.
"I have gotten everything you ask e to get, should I get any other thing?
He asked her.
He was going to make dinner, and he wants it to be perfect, though she is going to direct him.
"If you have gotten all in that list, then I think that is all you need".
He was about to end the call, when he thought of her and then asked.
"Is she still in the room?
He asked, hoping to hear that she is out and is sitting at the balcony.
That is her favorite spot.
"She just told me that she wants to get something, and that she will be back in an hour or so".
Goodluck became worried.
"Did she go with the car?
"No she didn't, I asked her, but she said she wants to take a taxi".
"Did she leave with Star?
"No she didn't, don't worry, she said she would be back soon".
Goodluck ended the call in an unusual way.
He needed to call his guard.
Douglas picked up immediately.
"Where is Amanda?
He asked, and he looked around him confused.
He thought his boss should know better and not to ask him, but since he is asking, he cleared his throat, but before he could open his mouth to answer, he cut in.
"She is not in the house and she did not go with her car, I need you to find out where she is".
Douglas became really worried.
She is supposed to know that Goodluck would be angry she left the house, yet she keeps doing everything that would annoy him.
Douglas Started calling Amanda's number, but it was unreachable.
He is her personal guard.
Goodluck would be mad at him, if he cannot call him back with a good information about her whereabouts.
He had just stepped out for a few minutes, only to be asked about Amanda.
Then he remembered he could track her line.
So he tried doing that.
He needs to have an answer for Goodluck, before he calls back.
