MY WOMAN, MY EVERYTHING 2

EPISODE 2

“Do you two know each other already?” asked the lecturer
Brenda was quiet; she didn’t know what answer to give.
“Lady, I asked you a question” said the lecturer
It was obvious that Dave had to come up with something
“Yes sir, she was a good friend of mine…way back in High
school” he responded.
One lie lead to the other… The lecturer ignored them and
continued with the class.
It was amazing how Brenda and Dave clicked from that very
first time. The chemistry between them was heavy. You
could tell from the look on both their faces that they wanted
the class to end so they could talk to each other.
Brenda couldn’t hold herself, she took a sheet of paper and
wrote “Thank you”. She then passed it to Dave who quickly
replied.
For close to 20 minutes, Brenda and Dave were just
exchanging notes and messages, oblivious to their
surroundings.
They were getting along pretty well. The smiles on their
faces was a sign that they were enjoying every bit of the
conversation.
On that first day, they hardly paid attention to anything the
lecturer said, their attention was on each other.
Unfortunately the class had to end and the lecturer
dismissed them.
Before Dave could ask for Brenda’s name in his final note,
the Lecturer asked her to see him.
She walked out of the class to see the lecturer who was
already in his vehicle.
He made her sit in the car and drove her out of sight.
Brenda curiously asked the lecturer “Sir, where are we
going? I have to go home”
“Don’t worry, I’m just driving you away from these students,
they talk too much and by the way, you can call me Mr.
Edward, I’m not comfortable with you calling me sir” The
lecturer answered.
“Ok Sir, sorry Mr. Edward, may I know what I have done
wrong? Brenda asked
“Why do you think you have done something wrong? I
called you here to make your acquaintance. As a lecturer,
one of my roles is to look out for my students. I won’t
waste your time, take my card and call me tonight”
Brenda took the card and alighted from his car. She actually
wanted to see Dave before going home so she rushed back
to the lecture hall but he was gone.
Dave had waited a long while and finally left when he was
convinced Brenda had gone home.
