Patrick went inside the corridor to get them some drinks. He went to his bedroom first to put on a singlet top, and to cover up his bare chest. As he assumed maybe that was why Tina didn't want to look at him or speak to him either.
After putting on his singlet top, Patrick stepped out of his room and went to his kitchen fridge to get them the drinks.
When he came back to his living room, Patrick noticed that Tina was no longer there. As only Prisca sat on the couch, stretching her long slender legs, and looking at him.
Patrick frowned and approached Prisca. Meanwhile, Prisca dropped her legs from the couch. She stood up, and walked over to meet him happily, to take the two cans of drinks from his hand.
"Where's your friend? Has she gone home?" Patrick asked.
"No… I don't think so," Prisca replied. "Tina went outside to wait for me, as she wasn't comfortable sitting in here with me."
Prisca took the two cold canned drinks from Patrick's hands. She told him, "I have told you to forget about dating Tina. Tina doesn't like associating with guys, yet you're still eyeing her over me... I have told you how much I love you, and yet you're still choosing Tina. What does Tina have that I do not also have? Check me out now, I'm beautiful."
Prisca swirled around for Patrick to properly examine her sexy shape, as she was a brown-skinned lady.
Patrick sighed and replied, "Look, Prisca, I do not love you, and that's the truth. It's Tina that I love, and I have always been looking for a way to meet her... You remember that I also requested that you try to bring Tina here someday. I really do appreciate our friendship, but I know that you've been dating some of my friends behind my back, and I kept quiet about it because I just want to meet Tina. Please try to understand me."
Prisca frowned and said, "Tina won't accept you, and that's not why I asked her to follow me here. Please, Patrick. I truly love you, please…"
Prisca attempted to persuade Patrick by touching his hands to make him forget about Tina. But Patrick shook his head and said, "Fine. I will think about it later, but not now. Let me first know what Tina is doing outside, before she goes missing or strolls off to another street. As she won't know her way back to your village."
Prisca sighed and finally moved aside for Patrick to pass. As she walked back to sit on one of the blue couches, still holding the two cans of drinks in her hands that she had taken from him.
Popping one of the two canned drinks, Prisca drank from it while waiting for Sharon to arrive. They had something important to discuss. So, Patrick approached the door to pull it open and step out. Just then, Sharon arrived with two of her best friends. She smiled sweetly at Patrick, as she entered into the living room with her friends. As she wanted to greet Patrick, he immediately dashed out of the house to search for Tina, leaving Sharon and her two best friends speechless.
Meanwhile, Patrick went outside and saw Tina standing beside his house's gate, and speaking to his gatekeeper. He walked up to Tina and asked her, "Why are you standing outside here alone?"
Tina stared back at Patrick's face, but ignored responding to him. She crossed her arms around her chest and didn't say a word to him, as she looked away from him and toward the open gate.
The gate was slightly open after Sharon and her two friends had arrived. Tina's attitude clearly irritated Patrick, but he remained calm and walked closer to meet her.
"Hey," Patrick touched Tina's folded arms over her chest, startling Tina, who glared at him in shock for touching her arms.
Tina released her arms over her chest and looked at the open gate again that was slightly ajar. She wanted to run out, but Patrick quickly caught her hand, and pulled her back to his masculine body. Especially after seeing her look at the gate, Patrick quickly realize Tina's intention was to run out.
"Let go of me!" Tina screamed, clearly irritated by Patrick touching her and hugging her closely. His masculine body, sent shivers down her spine.
Similarly, Tina had never been this close with a man before. And Patrick saw that Tina was indeed beautiful, but she was very stubborn, as she struggled to break free from his hold.
"Prisca!" Tina screamed aloud, but Prisca was still inside the house, and she could not hear her.
Likewise, Patrick's gatekeeper did not interfere as he saw them together. He went back into his gatehouse, shortly after locking up the gate.
Patrick was still holding Tina's hands and hugging her closely, as he seized her hand behind her back. Her sweet blossom scent filled his nostrils. Making him aroused and tempted to kiss her on her natural pink lips, that were enticing, but he didn't release her yet.
Tina calmed down, after she felt her heart beating erratically in her chest from the way Patrick held her firmly by her arms, with his chest touching her body.
Patrick wore a yellow singlet and black shorts, while Tina was dressed in a short brown gown and black slippers.
"I know you're not happy about visiting here with your friend, but that's not why you should be behaving rudely and not respecting your seniors, just because I admire you," Patrick said, his masculine breath fanned the crook of Tina's ear.
Tina gulped, as Patrick spoke into her ear. His hot breath giving her more goosebumps. "Let me go," she said.
Patrick lost his sanity inhaling Tina's sweet blossom scent. He wanted to kiss her, but he quickly controlled his arousal and replied, "Fine, I will let you go, but that's if you calm down and give me a little audience. Why act so immature? Aren't you a big girl? Or is this how you truly behave? Honestly, I really do like you, and I want us to be friends."
"Friends?" Tina asked, looking up at Patrick's face in surprise, and she met his black eyes.
"Aren't you and Prisca friends? Well, I'm sorry, but I cannot be your friend. Just leave me alone and let go of me." Tina got angrier, cursing herself for following Prisca to Patrick's house in the first place, and knowing the type of friend Prisca was.
Patrick then released Tina's arms and apologized, "I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what?" Tina asked him, looking at his face again. She saw that Patrick was truly handsome, but he smiled and replied, "Fine. But why not wait inside for Prisca to be through, since Sharon has arrived? Also, the sun is hot for you to be standing out here alone."
Patrick walked back into his house, and Tina thought about his response and eventually followed him into the house. Walking from behind, as she admired his masculine physique.
However, the sun went down, and the dark clouds began to gather, as if it would soon rain heavily. The wind blew heavily, swirling dust around, and Tina got worried about the sudden change in climate. She hurriedly entered the living room and told Prisca, "Prisca, let's start going home now! The rain will soon fall."
Prisca hissed and ignored responding to Tina, as she was clearly jealous after seeing Patrick go after Tina. Prisca refused to give Tina any response, as Patrick already went to the kitchen to finish what he was cooking.
Sharon and her two friends sat there on the other couches, discussing. While Tina got angrier, knowing that her mother would soon be home from the market. Her two junior brothers might be searching for her. So, she yelled at Prisca, "What's wrong with you, Prisca?! Come on, let's go home now!"
Prisca sighed and stood up from the blue couch. She replied, "I'm not yet going home."
"Why?" Tina asked in confusion, but Prisca didn't reply, as she adjusted her black gown properly and wanted to walk away.
"Okay, if you're not yet going home, at least you can help me with the transport fare to go back home. Or you can tell me the directions so I can start going back to my house," Tina requested and Prisca hissed and walked away from Tina without responding, and going to the guest toilet.
However, Tina immediately pulled Prisca back by her arm and yelled at her, "What's wrong with you, Prisca? You brought me here, and now you're not saying anything about how we should be going back home?"
Prisca yelled, "Just stop it, Tina! Stop it already! Yes, I brought you here with me as my friend, but not for you to come here and act up or try to break my friendship with Sharon and her brother. And please, if you want to go, then leave and don't talk to me again."
Tina's jaw dropped in disbelief as Prisca pushed her aside and went to use the restroom, leaving Tina standing there speechless and beside the corridor.
