The Dismissal

When Prisca got to Tina's house gate, she stood and knocked heavily on the small gate, as she banged it so loud, while waiting impatiently for Tina to stepped out, as she banged heavily on the gate again with her fist again [Banged].

Tina woke up from her sleep, hearing the loud sound of someone knocking on their main entrance small gate, and she sprang up immediately from the bed, and rushed out to check on whom was there, as she remembered that she had locked up the gate, before she went inside to sleep.

Tina approached the gate, and she peeped out through the small hole at the gate, and she saw it was Prisca actually knocking, and making her to frowned, as she finally unlocked the small gate and pulled it opened to peered at Prisca angrily.

Even though her mother has warned her not to allowed Prisca into their compound again, Tina still wanted to found out what Prisca actually wanted, and she immediately asked Prisca coldly, "What are you doing here Prisca?."

Tina crossed her arms around her chest, as she stared to Prisca irritably, and Prisca frowned and stared at Tina from 'head to toe' first, before she asked Tina, "What happened Tina?. I mean between you and Patrick?. Don't think that I won't find out."

Tina frowned, and she hid her angered emotions, as she bit on her lower lip and she stared around their street first, before her gazed fell back on Prisca, and she replied, "I don't know what you're talking about Prisca."

Tina tried to denied what happened. between herself and Patrick, but Prisca said,

"Hmm. Don't deny it or lie to me Tina!. I saw the dried red blood stained on Patrick's bed by myself. Did Patrick touched you when we left his house?. Tell me the truth Tina, what really happened between you and him?."

Tina felt irritated all over, on remembering all that happened between herself and Patrick, and she felt like Prisca knew and betrayed her trust, as to why Prisca took her there, and she screamed out at Prisca, "Just get out of my house Prisca!, As I don't want to ever see your face here again, and I don't know what you're talking about!. So please leave! and don't come here again!.

I should've known that you're an evil friend for leaving me behind.. For your information, nothing happened between me and Patrick, and I don't know what you saw or whatever nonsense that you're talking about. So just leave and stay clearly away from me, from now onwards, as our friendship is over from today onwards!." Tina yelled angrily, startling Prisca whom was stunned at first, then Prisca calmed and asked her, "Really?. Well you should also start by returning all my things that I borrowed you before, and gave to you too. You should pay me the money that you're owing me first, but still, I should've known that you were a pretender, and you couldn't even waited for us to left the house first, before you went and slept with Patrick, on his bed, even after saying that you didn't wanted him, and you want to kept your pride, bla bla bla for your husband, Nonsense!."

Tina got even more angry, and she wanted to slapped Prisca face so hard and to shut Prisca up, but she shook her head sadly and knew that she had to be strong and not fell for Prisca's trap. As she knew the type of parrot mouth that Prisca was. As she never knew of the dried blood stained thar Prisca was talking about, but she knew with only that little blood stained that Prisca saw, Prisca would announced her everywhere including to their colleagues at school, as they just finished their high school class exams, and were preparing for their school scholarship exam too.

Tina knew that Prisca would still went ahead to gossiped her to other of their school mates, and street friends, by telling them that she has been deflowered. Just like how Prisca also used to gossiped about others of their colleagues to her too, and she shook her head in sadness and shut her gate closed on Prisca, as she couldn't revealed the truth to Prisca. As it was better that Prisca was left with only her assumptions, than confirming the truth, through her reaction, and beside the deed has already happened.

Prisca finally left Tina's compound after yelling and telling Tina to returned all the things that she had given and borrowed to Tina before, and Tina sighed and locked back the small gate entrance, before she went into the house to prepared their dinner, since her mother and two siblings would soon be home.

Patrick arrived at his furniture work place but still, he couldn't fully concentrated on his works, as what he did with Tina the previous night kept on popping up in his mind, and disturbing his thoughts, as together with the fact that he didn't slept well the previous night too, due to Tina's continuous sobbing till dawn, and he knew that he didn't even used any protection on her, and now he got all worried and couldn't concentrated on his work again, as he was into furniture making, and creating of wooden carved furnitures, doors, and designers bed, with dinning seats and table, As he was doing very well in his craft, and he even got foreign and international connections to shipped and exported his brand to other states and countries at large, as he was making one of the finest home and office used furnitures in their state.

Patrick's business expanded earlier the same year and he got to bought his first house, where he was living with his younger sister named (Sharon.) As he had an elder brother too, Victory Scott, whom was a certified graduate, of a well known university, but due to the poor employment rate in their state. Victory later went to joined the military, and Patrick didn't even bothered writing his admission exam nor furthering his academics into any university, as he went into learning of business after his high school certificate exam.

It wasn't like Patrick's Parent were poor or couldn't sponsored his fees into any university of his choice, but Patrick had long told his parent that, "Mom, Dad, I want to be a business man, instead of me going into the university, as many graduates of the university here, hardly got a sustainable jobs in our state, and I don't want to end up like them."

it was with the same reason that Patrick thought, made his elder brother to joined the military force, due to the lack of employment in their state. And so, Patrick had decided right from the time, when he was still in the high school that after he was through with his college exam, he would went into business training. And after passing out from college, while his parents was still living at the city. Patrick had registered as an apprentice to learn the craft of making different kinds of wooden furnitures, and seats and he later furthered on his skills in making golden carved furnitures too, for home and office uses.

Patrick did so well in his craft and these made people both far and nearby to loved his craft and to patronized his designs, because they were extremely beautiful, and he made so much money in his furnitures making business and became a young millionaire in their state at a younger age, as he was 25-years in age, but due to his wealth and connections, Patrick looked more manly and handsome like one in his thirties.

Patrick was a dark skin man, masculine, tall and huge in height, with fine jawlines, 6-packs and charming looks for a man. But he wasn't able to focused in his works again, so he closed for the day, and dismissing his workers as he drove back home to his mansion.

On getting home, Sharon wasn't around, so Patrick went inside to his bedroom, as he was already used to the fact that he was living with a promiscuous sister. And so, he went to his bedroom, and the memory of what he did with Tina the previous night, came flooding into his mind, and especially when he saw the dried blood stained on his white bed, he became more heartbroken and he cursed out, "Why did I do it with her? Why wasn't I able to control myself."

Patrick felt bad as lot of ladies of high class ladies were yearning to be with him for free, and yet he was able to controlled himself away from them. So why wasn't he able to did the same with Tina?, and he cussed again, "Why couldn't I? I could controlled myself and avoided others. Why couldn't I just avoided her the previous night?.. I love Tina, and I never meant to slept with her that way.."

Patrick walked to his bed and he yanked the bedspread away, as he said, "I couldn't even controlled myself to stopped touching her, as all I ever wanted was her and to make sweet love to her, was all I crave for last night. Tina is too beautiful. The most beautiful, pretty and seductive young lady that I've ever seen. Fair, cute, blonde hair, brown eyes and beautiful without makeup. As all the classy ladies that I had seen in the heart of the city, None is as beautiful as her. Even with their full makeup and seductive dresses, None still looked so beautiful as her to me. Why?.."

Patrick touched the stained and he knew, {Tina looked so pure, innocent and calm unlike those city girls looking wide and exposed. I should've known that she was still pure, and a virgin..}

Patrick shook his head sadly and he said, "I didn't doubted it, when Prisca told me that she didn't wanted to had any boyfriend. I was happy to hear that, and I loved her at first sight when I first saw her at the market square helping her mother in selling her fruit. I knew from that very moment, I had to planned on making her mine. But when I approached her she just refused me, She didn't even wanted to stared to me. She's so stubborn and she refused to talked to me."

Patrick continued to lamented, as he knew that he would be haunted in his own house, with the memory of hurting Tina, and sleeping with her against her wish as he knew that she wasn't ready to have a boyfriend yet.
