🌹 Episode 15🌹
BEN’S POV
💓🙇💕
I was lucky to see & get an empty cab that moment, I hop in and just asked the driver to follow the cab that the girl entered
He obeyed and followed the cab immediately
Well, I don’t understand what’s wrong with me at that point, why am I following the girl that just acted weird and insulting to me is what I don’t understand, but why I’m I following her is the major question that I don’t have the answer just yet
The cab finally pulled to a halt and the girl came out and gave the driver some money then headed towards a direction, I asked the driver to move a little forward so that I will see properly where the girl is actually headed to
Why are you following that girl, hope you don’t intend to hürt her after finding out where she lives? That was the voice of the driver.
He sounds some how worried and concerned about the way I was desperately following the girl.
Oh, no no! I smiled at him, I don’t want to hürt her or do I look like some one that’s capable of hurting some one? I asked the driver with the confidence that I will get a favourable response because I look quit harmless.
By this time, the girl has stopped somewhere and was charting with two girls about her age
I took a keen interest and watch her, though from a distance. Her smiles and the way she makes some moves while talking is very captivating that I even forgot that I was with a driver who needed to go to his other routines
Well, the thing is that we don’t know what to trust or believe anymore, Pierce the voice of the driver actually interrupting my thoughts.
Then I realized I was actually in a cab and not in my personal car… I turned my attention to the driver
You know, those that rōbs banks and other valuable places now dresses in suit and appears like a honourable gentle men without a deceiving looks which actually deceives people to believe that they are noble and responsible people and before you not it, gbagam! They accomplish their purpose and move away.
The man said with a tone that indicates certainty
I looked at the driver, his really saying the obvious but I don’t want to engage him with that discussion because that’s not why I’m here right now.
It seems you knows that young girl? I throw the question at him searching his face to know his reactions.
He looked back at me and replied….. Well only if you are not stalking her to hürt her or for negative purposes
Honestly, I’m not stalking her to harm her in any way, please trust me.. I said almost in a pleading tone
He signed and continues….
I’m a driver so I knew many people even though they might not really know me. I have been privileged to carry that young girl most times and have accessed her life without her knowledge, She’s been through a lot in life together with her sister.
They are both good and descent girls that works and Carter for themselves without looking at men or behaving like many girls out here does….. It seems that they have lost their parents. The driver said feeling pity for the poor girl.
What I just heard him said sent a cold shiver in my entire body, I suddenly felt goose pimples all over me that made me swallow hard….
I need to hear more from this driver about this very girl.
I was touched by the things the driver has said about the girl but I’m not really convinced. How does he know all these facts, is he related to the girl or is he her neighbor? I don’t really get it so I had to ask more questions
But excuse me, how did you know so much about this girl, and how did you know that her parents are deãd already? I asked him hoping for answers to my question.
Well, you already know that I’m a taxi driver and we gather information regularly. The girl in question is my regular customer, she often enters my cab while going to work or coming back, some times alone and sometimes with her sister.
She’s works in a hotel and she sometimes attends to me when ever I goes to the hotel for relaxation. She’s such a wonderful girl, always cheerful, respectful and diligent in her duties
I was gulping down every details the man is saying about this very girl like a cup of chilled water and before you know it my mindset about her begins to change gradually, I no longer have that lüstful desires about her anymore, I began to see her in another dimension.
Then she smiled and waved goodbye to those she has been chatting with and continue to her destination.. Her smile melted my heart and makes butterflies to start perching in my stomach. I was brought out of my thoughts by the driver.
See bros! The reasons why I’m telling you this things is for you not to húrt that poor innocent girl oo! She’s exceptional and doesn’t behave like all this wild girls in this area…. Please let your motives and intentions towards her be of genuine and positive ones
But why are you saying so much good things about this girl, you’re talking as if you’re in love with her or something. I said directly to the driver and he burst into laughter. When he is done laughing he said
You’re very correct my brother, I’m in love with the girl but circumstances can’t let me go for her
What! I heard my inner man exclaimed, I felt somehow jealous about hearing that he is in love with her, I can’t believe that I’m jealous already… Hmmm! This is absurd but I managed to put myself under control, and calmly asked him.
What do you mean circumstances, what kind of circumstances will make you to shy away from someone you love and have crush on and you’re dying silently inside?
He laughed again… Well bros, the truth of the matter is that I’m married with 2 Kids already and I love my family so I can’t cheat on my wife.. I like the girl because she’s responsible, beautiful and humble nothing more, he added
That was a huge sign of relief on hearing that the young man is married. I smiled inwardly.
