CLARA THE GOVERNOR'S DAUGHTER EPISODE 9

Episode 9

Clara’s side of the story from the
previous episode

 There was no denying I liked val. I felt at peace
whenever I was with him and he kind of had this
innocent smile that always melted my heart
anytime we were together. Charles was just the
exact opposite of him and I couldn’t help but
wish Val was in his position. Perhaps because of his wealthy background
Charles had this proud nature I resented. He
believed he was better than everyone and I
merely tolerated him because of his family. But
then seeing him confront Val at his own birthday
party really made me snap, I lost all control as I attacked him like a wounded lion. Yes of course I
was equally surprised with myself. I never knew
where the courage or spirit came from. Of
course in the end I regretted reacting so harshly
but then there was nothing I could do to reverse
it, moreover it was a good opportunity I used in putting Charles in his place. Early Friday morning I was preparing hot tea in the kitchen when I
heard Charles’s voice calling me out from the
gate. At first I felt like ignoring him but later
changed my mind and headed to the gate to
meet him. I was a bit nervous as I headed to the
gate because I really didn’t know how to face him after what happened the previous evening.
Charles on his own part smiled as soon as his
eyes fell on me while I kept a straight face. ‘’come on my queen, I never believed you
would act the way you did yesterday but I’m
sorry for everything. I agree, I’m a jerk and I
promise I won’t misbehave again. Please’’
he apologized quickly, surprising me with his
action. Yes he was a guy that hardly apologized over anything and I really was taken aback with
his apology. ‘’I’m also sorry for how I acted yesterday. I
overdid it. I’m sorry’’ I softly apologized.
His eyes lit up with hope, he quickly hugged me. ‘’but we have to set one thing straight’’ I
added, breaking free from him. ‘’what’s it?’’ he asked curiously. ‘’I don’t know what gave you the
impression that we are dating. We are very close
friends and that’s it. Please you are not my
boyfriend’’ I softly said, taking a step
backwards as I noticed his mood quickly change. ‘’what do you mean by that?, we have gone
out many times, we have shared secrets and
been together for years now. Oh or is it because
I respected you and never forced myself into
getting intimate with you?. Dam.n I’m now the
fool right?’’ he barked, frightening me with the look on his face. ‘’you have to learn how to control your
temper or maybe you should take anger
management classes. You easily flare up and
that’s a big turn off to me. I’m heading back
to my state tomorrow. Please don’t disturb me
again’’ I managed to say before heading back into the compound and shutting the gate on
him.
He banged on the gate for few minutes while I
ran to my room to calm down. Just like I said earlier, supposing he was a little
bit calm and quiet like Val, perhaps we could
have been planning our future together. I
wouldn’t have hesitated in getting serious with
him because it was something that would benefit
our families but he looked too strong for me and he was just like the type of guy who would end
up killing me in his house. Yes he was a great
friend but I was scared of him at the same time.
The only difference this time around was that I
now had the courage to shout back at him.
As I settled on my bed, I couldn’t help but play back all the words he said to me, more
especially the comment he made about holding
himself from taking advantage of me. Yes I was
lucky I escaped that and it was probably
because I wasn’t very much around due to my
studies in the states. ‘’are you okay?’’ I soon heard Val ask as
he peeped into my room. ‘’yes come sit with me’’ I invited him with
a smile. ——————————————————— Val’s side of the story continues from the
last scene above ‘’I watched from my room as you went out to
talk with Charles’’ I said softly as I sat beside
her. She rolled her eyes and laughed. ‘’It didn’t end well right?’’ I asked
curiously. ‘’no it didn’t. I’m tired of that guy
seriously’’ she breathed. ‘’you said he isn’t your boyfriend but I’m
very curious, have you ever been in any other
relationship?’’ I asked. ‘’mmmm yes, I have been in two
relationships actually. The first was when I was
still a teenager; you know how we get all fired
up at that age. It didn’t end well and the second
one was even more devastating. I lost my
virginity for nothing. Afterwards I decided to forget everything about relationships and ever
since then the only male friend I had was Charles
because he was more of a family friend’’ she
explained softly. ‘’so tell me, how do you feel about me. I
noticed how you always stare at me, you hardly
let me out of your sight?’’ she suddenly
asked, taking me by surprise with the question. ‘’to be sincere, I have a very big crush on you
but I know that’s all I can ever get. We are not
of the same level. A gateman can only dream of
marrying his master’s daughter. I’m too
broke’’ I answered with a smile. ‘’what gave you the impression that
relationships only work when wealth is
involved?. Money is needed though but it’s just
like salt needed to sweeten a relationship. You
have to have all the other ingredients ready
before the salt’’ she muttered as she drew closer to me. I swallowed hard as I fought back
the urge, passion and desire in me. I badly
wanted her. I badly wanted to hold her face and
make promises but I just couldn’t. I knew I
could lose it all in the end. I remembered my
poor mother at home, my family. I swallowed hard and looked down. ‘’I like you Val, you shouldn’t look down on
yourself. You shouldn’t be scared of
anything’’ she suddenly whispered in my
ear. I brought up my eyes to meet her gaze and
this time around, a force greater than the fear in
my heart pushed me into kissing her.
