Chapter 10

… Josiane arrived with the food.

-Josiane: What's going on here um?

Carrelle wipes her tears…

-Me: Nothing, just a moment of emotion.

-Carelle: Yes, don't worry, it's fine.

-Josiane: Ah ok, the meal is ready, let's eat.

-Me: Ok thank you. Carelle, let's eat.

-Carelle: Okay.

We went to the table and we ate then we went back to the sofa to watch TV for a bit.

While we were there, my phone rings, I take it and it's the number of my uncle's wife in Togo.

-Hello

- Yes Vido, it's me.

-Ah mom, have you already arrived there now?

-Yes, I wanted to call you to tell you that I arrived safe and sound in Lomé and that your brothers and sister are doing well.

-Ok mom, tell them that I miss them a lot and that I say hello to them.

-OK. Richard wants to talk to you… Hello

-Hello brother, how are you and your health?

-it's going well.

-Have you taken your medicine yet?

-yes, before Mum arrives

-Ok, don't worry, you'll be fine, take your medication well.

-OK.

- Give mum the phone now… Hello mum.

-Yes Video

-Richard said he was better, I hope he's fine.

-Yes, your uncle's wife took care of everything, I owe her a big debt. Alright, I'll hang up, say hi to your cousin for me. I'll call you back tomorrow, take care of yourself above all and don't yell at each other.

-Hum ok mom it's understood. Bye, have a great day.

-Thank you, darling (she hangs up).

I place the laptop on the side table.

-Me: It was mum, she greets you Josiane.

-Josiane: Ah ok, how are your brothers and sisters?

-Me: Well, I think so.

-Josiane: Ok that's good.

It was already striking 3 p.m. at the moment. We stayed in the living room watching TV and chatting until about 7:30 p.m. Carrelle decided to go back because it was getting dark. So I decided to accompany her.

We leave the house then we arrive at the gate:

-Thank you David.

- please don't dwell on your past, especially with me. I can't bear to see you cry.

-Ok Vido, it's understood. But I will always thank you for everything. Thanks to you, I was able to continue my studies and I got my Baccalaureate, in addition I obtained a scholarship. I will never be able to thank you enough.

- Please stop, let's forget it.

-Thank you Vido, goodbye.

-No, please wait a bit (I take her by the hand)

-Hum, ok you want to tell me something?

-Excuse me for being hard on you.

-No, it's nothing, I am the most at fault in this story, and I am very sorry

-If you're sorry, why don't you stop?

-I would like to do it, but I have already come a long way.

-Of course you can stop.

- Yes, I'm thinking about it. Don't worry, I'll do my best to stop this and if possible, stop with this.

- If really, you can stop with that, it will make me very happy.

-Okay Vido, I'll do my best. But for now, I'd like us to take a break from our romantic relationship while things get back to normal.

-Are you sure that's what you want?

-Yes, I think it will be fine for the moment, especially with all this history of sex, forums and especially your cousin.

- Hmm, you're right. Josiane will leave in 1 month, I hope that after that, everything will be fine.

-No, nothing will be like before, you know it well, everything has changed, you have changed, you know everything about me, you are in this damn forum, so nothing will be like before, even after he leaves.

- (…)

-Look, I'm not refusing you to go to sex with your cousin, do what you want, I don't blame you, because I also did stupid things with you.

-I promise you that everything will be settled, it's a matter of time.

-How ?

-I don't know yet, but I'll see what to do.

- (… she lowered her head) I would have preferred that none of this had happened.

I approach her, I caress her face and I kiss her.

- What if we started by deleting the forum first?

- What, are you serious? How will you do ? First of all, nobody wants you to delete this.

-You think ? I'm the second boy in the band so Jeff made me Administrator.

- No, no, you will not delete the forum, I forbid you. And if you do that, what's gonna happen with the other girls, your cousin and Jeff?

-No idea, I just want all this to stop. Since earlier, my feelings for you have changed, I fell in love with you again without wanting it.

- (She blushes) Really?

-Yes

-Thanks Vido, but you don't need to delete the forum. To be honest, I'm not ready to quit all of a sudden like that yet. Habit is second nature, and even though I want to quit, I don't want it to happen like that.

-You have completely changed (looking disappointed).

- You too, you changed Vido, since your cousin is here. Sp, we'll talk about it later, I have to go home.

-I thought you were going to stop after everything I told you.

-Believe me, I want to quit, but it's not going to be so easy. That's why I want us to take a break. Maybe if your cousin leaves, we'll reconsider our relationship or not. Good night Vido, I'm going to kiss you for the last time for quite a while or maybe forever.

-Ok, good night, write to me when you get home. (We kissed)

-OK. Bye.

I then turned around in the house as she was gone. Josiane was still on the couch watching TV.

-So what can we say ? You took a lot of time out inh!

-Yes, I was talking to Carelle, don't worry, it's nothing interesting.

-Aok, aren't you hungry? Me, yes. And I want us to go buy something to eat.

- No, I don't really want to go out.

-Come on, please, do this for me.

She insists a lot, so I decided to accompany her, besides I was also a little hungry, even if I don't feel like eating.

-Okay, but we'll go on foot, I don't feel like riding the bike tonight, or else you'll tow me.

-No, I don't want to drive either, let's go on foot, so we can chat a little on the way, moreover I don't know the neighborhood.

-Hum, ok, we'll go to the chicken seller, he's on the other side of the crossroads.

-OK that works.

So we got out, we walked to the crossroads, then we went to buy some chicken and we took the way back. A few meters from the house, you can see Mirabelle: one of the girls from the forum, she used to go to our house. What brings her to us? Also at that time.
