Kay, The Ex

"What do you want from me Kay? she barked " I don't think I should ignore your calls anymore. Ignoring your call makes you think I am playing hard to get. Let me burst your bubbles Kay, I am not!"

On the other line, Samantha could hear Rose's voice In the background, but she didn't care. She needed to get Kay off her back.

"Samantha, who was that dude back there and why did he tell me to let you go? Who does he think he is" Kay said.

"That's none of your business, Kay. Just stay away from me and stop making life miserable for me. I have suffered enough in the past because of you, don't open that wound again. I am still trying to heal from it"

"Bullshit! Absolute bull crap! You think I will let you date someone new when I didn't break up with you? Look Samantha, I know that man back there is your current boyfriend. I won't let you treat me like shit! I have not given up on you yet. You are the love of my life and I can't let you go. Tell that dude to stay away from you, or else, he better watch his back!

Samantha couldn't take Kay's taunting anymore. She needed to leave a very strong mark on him right now. She need to say something that would shake him and she said.

"Kay? You know what? I don't think I should hide it anymore. The guy you met in front of my house earlier? His name is Allen and he is my boyfriend and soon to be fiance. I want you to know that"

Kay screamed like someone who was going crazy. He was panting out of rage and Samantha could hear it from her phone.

"Samantha!! I can't believe you are actually dating that dude. You think telling me he is your boyfriend or fiance will keep me away? You have got another thing coming. You are mine until I say you are not and tell that dude to better watch his back. I will see you some other time and until then, good bye" Kay yelled.

Samantha dropped the call, with Nancy watching her as a hawk, waiting to hear what she discussed with Kay.

"So? What did he say? Nancy asked.

"Before I say anything, I have to puke! Samantha said, running to her bathroom.

Immediately she got to her bathroom, she closed the door, keeping Nancy out.

"Why are you puking Samantha? Are you alright?

"I'll be there shortly! Samantha said.

Samantha washed her face with cold water running from the tap, then raised her head up to look at herself in the mirror. She smiled at herself, trying to keep a happy face for Nancy. She didn't want to make Nancy worried. She knew Nancy was genuinely worried about her to have asked Allen to keep an eye out for her. She smiled one last time and opened the door.

Nancy looked at Samantha with a worried face.

"What's wrong? Did you come down with a cold or something?

"You worry too much, Nancy. I am absolutely fine. I think I may have eaten something bad" she replied.

Samantha didn't want to tell Nancy she puked because of Kay's disgusting words. She needed to tell Nancy something, anything at all that could serve as her discussion with Kay. She didn't want to tell Nancy the whole truth. She wasn't going to lie to Nancy, but she won't give her the whole story either.

Nancy held Samantha's hand, leading her to take a seat in the living room. Samantha sat down and Nancy looked her in the eye.

"Tell me the truth Sammy, what did Kay say to make you so sick"

"Can anything ever pass you by, Nancy? I literally tried to hide this from you. How do you tend to figure these things out"

"I know you, Samantha. I know you like the back of my palm. I can read you like a book and I know when things are not right. I got the feeling that Kay said something to you and that made you sick to your stomach. What did he say"

"I don't think you want to hear this Nancy"

"Then try me" Nancy replied.

"Kay practically said he owns me. I said something stupid to him and now, I think I may have gotten Allen more involved than he already is"

"What did you say to him, Samantha? Talk to me" Nancy pushed on.

Samantha hesitated, but Nancy gave her the 'spill it' type of look.

"I think I may have told Kay that Allen is my boyfriend and soon to be fiance. I was only saying it to keep him off my back, but I think it worsened the situation. He said Allen Should better watch his back. He said if he can't have me, then no one will. Moreover, I could hear Rose's voice in the background when Kay and I was speaking"

"Kay must be really out of his damn mind! Telling him that Allen is your boyfriend was the right thing to do. I guess it's time you really bring it to reality" Nancy said, smiling at Samantha.

Samantha looked at Nancy, realising what she was getting at.

"No! I can't allow Allen get involved in this Nancy. I don't want him involved In this at all!

"He is now involved baby girl and there is nothing you and I can do about it. Why don't you let yourself be loved, Samantha. Don't give Allen such a hard time, you could even ask him to be your boyfriend for real!

"Are you crazy, Nancy? I can never do that! Even if Allen is the only man for me on this earth, I still cannot do that".

"Fine, I know Allen likes you. I can see it in his eyes and it's just a matter of time before he asks you out. Maybe, just maybe you saying Allen is your boyfriend will come to reality. I should go now, my mother wants to see me at her house. I should move in completely before the week runs out. Until then, stay safe, is that clear? Nancy said.

Samantha looked at her best friend and wished she didn't have to leave. Now she will go back to being lonely and alone in her house.

"Yes ma'am, I promise to be safe " she replied Nancy, sarcastically.

Nancy walked to her car, with Samantha behind her.

"You should go back inside Sammy. I will see you hopefully by the weekend"

"Promise? Samantha replied.

"I promise. Remember to keep your doors locked at all time. Also, give Allen a break. Walk up to his house and just tell him you came to ask him for something, just make up an excuse. Don't let Allen pass you by Samantha, this may be your last chance at a healthy and good relationship" Nancy said, before entering her car and driving off.

Samantha looked at Nancy's car drive off, and she looked at Allen's house, scoffed and shook her head.

"Last chance? Really? I can't believe you Nancy! Samantha said to herself before walking back Into her house.

~~~~~~~~~~~

It was evening and Samantha sat in her room, thinking about all that Kay said to her. She was frightened, but she wasn't scared. She knew how Kay could get anytime he feels cornered. She felt alone and couldn't sleep a wink. She picked up her laptop to get some work done, but nothing was coming up. She walked to her living room, looked around and was looking for nothing specifically. She walked closer to her television and there she saw it.

Samantha saw Allen's complementary card on the television. She shook her head and smiled.

" How does she know me so well" she said, smiling.

Nancy knew that one way or another, that Samantha was going to be needing Allen's number, so she carefully placed his card on Samantha's television, hoping she finds it and she just did.

Samantha picked up her phone, dialled Allen's number , which she copied from his complementary card. Allen's number rang and Samantha ended the call before he could pick up.

"What am I doing right now! Why am I calling him? She asked herself.

Samantha put her phone down and turned to leave. Her phone rang, she turned to see who was calling, and it was Allen.

She screamed.

"Ahh! Oh no, he is calling back. What do I do! What do I do! I need to think like Nancy right now. In a situation like this, what would Nancy do. "

"She will pick up the phone you moron! Nancy's voice said, in her head.

Samantha looked everywhere, wondering why she was hearing Nancy's voice in her head. She kept on looking at her phone, with Allen still calling her. She heard Nancy's voice in her head again. "pick up the phone you chicken head!

"Okay fine! I will pick up the phone, Nancy. just get out of my damn head!

"Hello? So sorry I think I dialled your number mistakenly" Samantha said Into her phone.

"Oh, alright then. But I hope you know who you called by mistake? It's Allen. Wait a minute, your voice sounds familiar"

"What? No it doesn't" Samantha said, before realising she made a huge mistake by speaking further. Allen was smart enough to know it was Samantha.

"Samantha? Is that you? Allen asked.

"Oh, ummm, no it's not"

Another huge mistake.

"I know it's you Samantha, come on speak to me"

"Oh Allen? I didn't know it was you when I dialled the number. I randomly dialled a number and it was yours, surprise!

"Oh really? He said.

Allen couldn't help himself anymore, he laughed at Samantha's effort at trying to deny she called him Intentionally.

Samantha heard Allen laughing and felt embarrassed again. Why does she always have to feel embarrassed when it comes to Allen, she thought.

"Why are you laughing Allen? She asked.

"I really have no idea Samantha. I guess you make me want to laugh everytime you speak. You are always doing or saying one thing or the other and I find you funny"

"Do you want to hear why I called, Allen?

" Didn't you just say you called me by mistake? Allen asked.

"What! Oh! Erhhm, stop confusing me, Allen"

"Alright Samantha, I am sorry. Why did you call? Is something wrong? Do you need my help? Hold on, the man i saw earlier, is he there? Allen asked, sounding anxious and worried......;
