Another Visit

Chris decided to paid Patrick a visit on Saturday, since he didn't worked on Saturdays at Mella company, Except for visiting his own personal business.

Chris had planned it all out as scheduled, so by Saturday he would be at Pat Group, and he smiled wickedly thinking how frustrated Patrick would looked, as obviously Patrick never knew he was also dating Tina, And Tina too never knew him and Patrick were childhood best friends.

Tina was only aware that Patrick was from the same village as Chris, as she had travelled to Ujunwa the time Chris sister got married. But Chris never for once forced Tina to make love to him, during her stay in his place, even though he tried touching Tina inappropriately. Tina stopped him, and looked away from him. And Chris wasn't brave to lure her to making love to him. So Chris only stopped at kissing Tina.

Chris went to Tina's room after returning from work during the week, And was thru taking his shower so he wanted to check on Tina, when he got to her room, he knocked before entering,

Tina saw him wearing only boxer, and her eyes widened in shocked.

"Chris what are you doing here, without clothes on?" Tina asked Chris, looking away, And Chris replied to her,

"Really, is there anything wrong if my girlfriend sees me naked too?."

Tina still didn't stared back at Chris as she continued staring away..

"Fine I just came to check up on you" Chris said.

"Okay" Tina replied to him, still looking away, and Chris drew closer to her and he asked her, "Why are you looking away, is not like am naked ?."

"Yeah, I know, but I don't want to look at you on shorts" Tina replied, still looking away.

Chris drew closer to her and wanted to touched her but Tina shifted backwards,

and Chris just smiled at her and said,

"Fine I wanted to tell you goodnight, do sleep well."

Tina sighed as Chris finally left her room.

Tina hurriedly stood up from her bed and went to locked the door, as she didn't locked it before sleeping, and assumed it was still early to locked the door.

But immediately Chris left her room, Tina rushed and locked the room door and she heave a sign of relief.

By the weekend Chris went to Pat international group of company, As he wanted to saw Patrick.

Chris underwent series of search and check by the security agencies on duty, before he was finally allowed to go in.

Chris went to the receptionist on desk and told her why he was there, As he said politely to her, "Hi, good day, Am here to see your boss, Patrick Scott."

The receptionist stared to Chris first, before asking him, "Any appointments?."

"No. Not really, I just want to discuss something with him."

"Invitation?" The receptionist questioned again.

"No, Just tell him Chris Douglas is here to see him" Chris replied.

"Okay, You will have to wait as he his still attending to some other clients" The receptionist finally said and Chris sighed.

Chris went and sat waiting until it got to his turn, and an assistant came up to escort him to Patrick's office.

"Long time no see man" Chris said, as he stepped into Patrick's office and offered him a handshake, while smiling sweetly at Patrick.

Patrick wasn't happy, but he smiled back at Chris, as it had been long he saw his childhood friend.

"How you doing man?" Chris asked Patrick, whom looked s bit sober, And Patrick sat up properly and replied, "Am fine man, as you can see.

"What will you like me to offer you?" Patrick ask Chris.

"You know my favorite already" Chris replied, Just as Patrick stood up to got them some drinks and glass cups. And Patrick approached and handed over to Chris his favorite non-alcoholic wine with a glass cup.

"So how have you been, Did you travel home of recent?" Patrick asked Chris, as he sat on his executive office seat.

"Mm, no I didn't. How about you?" Chris asked, staring more at Patrick, whom didn't replied, And Chris asked,

"You don't seem to look happy man, hope all is well?."

Chris pretended to be a little worried and concerned for Patrick. And Patrick sighed and replied, "Am fine, nothing serious."

Patrick popped opened his drink, and poured it out to his glass cup and Chris said, "Oh, don't tell me that. Is it because Anita is already married to Matthew Days, is that why you looking like this?" Chris chuckled.

Patrick just stared at his friend, and he drank from his glass cup, before he finally smiled and replied, "Why should I be sad because Anita is married?. Is a good thing actually she's married, and am not jealous of that. We are still in good terms though" Patrick said, as he drank from his wine glass cup.

"Oh, I forgot you told me you wanted to marry Tina. So when will your wedding invitation be coming up, I don't want to miss it?" Chris asked Patrick.

"Hmph.." Patrick sighed.

"I don't now yet, when I fix a date I will inform you" Patrick replied faintly.

"Hmph, Why are you looking this sad Bro?" Chris asked Patrick, pretending not to know

"Hmph" Patrick sighed again shaking his head and he replied, "She's missing bro, I haven't heard from her since, and it going to a month now, Yet the police in the village couldn't even help in finding her."

Patrick almost wanting to cried as he said that to Chris, and Chris never for once believed when Patrick told him, that he was truly in love with Tina.

Chris had thought Patrick was just creating fantasy about Tina as a result of their previous night , but the Patrick, Chris was seeing, saddens his own heart and Chris sighed, but still couldn't gave up Tina to Patrick, As he was in love with Tina too, and Patrick can't just have all the good and beautiful things in life, Chris thought

"So what do you plan on doing now?" Chris finally asked Patrick whom sighed.

"Hmph, I don't know yet. When I travel home again to go see her mother, I will know what to do next" Patrick replied him, drinking all his wine in one go.

Patrick was truly hurt like one that was heartbroken. He was truly heartbroken ever since he heard from his personal assistant that claimed to saw Tina with another man, As ever since then, Patrick became shattered.

Patrick could barely concentrated as he thought maybe Tina never got missing, and maybe she decided to ran away with her boyfriend and her son, And he thought maybe Tina truly hated him, and never wanted to forgave him after all, he took advantage of her.

Patrick frowned shaking his head while Chris felt pity for him. But the same woman that made Patrick looked devastated, was the same woman Chris also wanted for himself. And Chris advised Patrick, "Is well bro everything will be fine."

"How? When she has left me. I think she still hate me, not even a call, nothing" Patrick almost cried.

"You shouldn't overthink. Why not wait until you find her first" Chris tried to gave Patrick hope, knowing that there was no way Patrick would find Tina.

"Thanks man, I hope too."

Chris finally stood up to took his leave, And Patrick thanked him for coming by his office, while they shook hands, and Chris finally left Patrick's office and went home.

Chris wasn't happy to saw Patrick looking that sad, and he truly felt pity for Patrick, but he said, "It only a matter of time now, And Patrick will move on with another lady. Tina will be mine and that's finally."

Chris got into his car and drove off.
