Cursed By Fate

As they got out of the car and went into Laura’s apartment, Carl knew he had to come up with a plan. He couldn’t keep his secret hidden forever, and he couldn’t risk losing Laura.

They got into Laura’s apartment and her best friend was sitting patiently waiting for her in the sitting room .

” Welcome back home babe, how was your date ?” Laura’s friend greeted her.

” It went well as expected,” Laura replied.” So I would like to Introduce you to the love of my life ” Laura. Said holding Carl by the waist.

” Ohhkkk” her friend said, smiling.

” so Carl , meet my best friend, Carolina who has always been there for me at all times and Carolina meet my boyfriend who always made sure I’m happy, his name is Carl ” .

” Nice to meet you Carolina ” Carl strached forth his hand towards Carolina for a handshake.” Thank you for always being there for this little baby here ” Carl said jokingly.

Carl and Carolina both laughed while Laura frowning at the silly joke Carl made ” you mean I’m a little baby??”

” Just joking babe ” Carl replied.

” Nice to meet you too Carl , and thank you for always making my friend happy. Since you came into her life , she is no longer the Laura who is always sad and down but the Laura who is up and lively ” Carolina said .

” It’s nothing Carolina, I’m glad I changed her ” Carl said .

” Who is in for a drink ?” Carolina asked .

“We are all in !!!” Laura answered for both herself and Carl .

Carl’s intention was to drop Laura at home and head to his apartment immediately but reverse is the case because he had to stay a little bit longer since that is what Laura wanted.

Carolina went to the kitchen to get a bottle of wine and three wine cups . They all talked and gisted over the wine .

As they were gisting , Carl raised his head and caught a glance at the time . ” Fuck !!!” Carl muttered silently as it was more than late .

” It’s getting late babe , I have to go ” Carl whispered into Laura hear .

” You know you can always spend the night at my place?” Laura asked .

” I know , I can but I have to get to work as early as possible tomorrow morning” Carl said .

” You are right. I think it is high time we got you another befitting job . ” Laura suggested.

” I know right but you know i don’t have any academic certificates” Carl said.

” That’s a huge lie Carl ” . Laura said unbelievably. ” Who does not have any academic certificate in this present world ” .

” Carl doesn’t ” Carl replied. He knew at this point, he needed to tell her something or probably lie.

” Noo, that’s not true ” Laura said .

” Did you remember the story I told about my friend who was a Gangstar? ” Carl asked Laura.

” Yeah , you did ” she replied.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

” In the cause of the investigation, the house got burnt and my stuffs was still in there ” Carl lied.

” But you never told about the house getting burnt or so ” Laura said confusedly.

” Yeah , I forgot too ” Carl said.

“So in other words , your certificate was burnt ?” Laura asked . ” Who burnt the house in the first place?” Laura asked again without giving Carl any chance to answer the first question she asked.

” Yeah , my certificate was burnt ” Carl answered.

” And who burnt the house?” Laura asked again.

” I think the head of the Gangstar teams did because there are a lot of things that can also implicate him in the apartment, that was why he burnt the house ” Carl said .

” I’m so sorry about that babe ” Laura felt sorry and remorseful.

” It’s fine . Now you see I can’t get a job ” Carl said.

” Don’t worry about that Carl , we can still secure a better job than the one you are doing ” Laura said.

” If you say so ” Carl replied her .

” Yeah , I am assuring you ” laura said .

” Thanks ” Carl gave her a kiss on her forehead.” I think I will like to take my leave now ” .

” Alright, let me see you off ” Laura stood up immediately Carl did .

” I would have wished to say goodbye to her but she is asleep ” . Carl said looking at Carolina who was fast asleep after taking just a cup of wine .

” I will do that on your behalf ” Laura said.

” You don’t have to see me off babe, you must be so tired so go back inside and get some rest” Carl said as soon as they got to the door.

” If you insist” Laura said and gave Carl a kiss on his lips.

Laura stood outside her door and watched Carl drive off.

. As soon as Carl left , Carolina stood up immediately from the sofa she was lying down. ” What in the world Carolina, so you pretended to be asleep while you are not ?”

” I was feeling sleepy but now , I’m not,” Carolina lied. ” So come and tell me about your picnic “date with Carl . How did it go ?” .

” I Know that is what kept you awake till this moment” Laura said.

“Thank God you know so tell me about it ” Carolina asked.

” Nah , I am not going to tell you anything ” Laura said and was about to walk out on Carolina to her room when Carolina dragged her from behind. ” You don’t have to be like this Laura , just tell me about it ?” .

” I think it’s time for you to look for a boyfriend ” Laura said to Carolina who insisted she tell her how her date went .

” Why did you say that ?” Carolina asked .

” Because if you had a boyfriend, you won’t bother me or even ask me how my date went, ” Laura replied.

” What does that have to do with the question I asked you ?” Carolina asked.

” At least if you have someone in your life , you won’t have the time to disturb not to talk of staying the night at my place , rather you will spend it with your boyfriend ” Laura replied.

” it’s not your fault Laura ” Carolina said as she silently cursed her ex boyfriend.
