RE: STACH Short Story Contest #10: 199 words-10SBD prize pool!

in #contest7 years ago

It was an icy cold night.

After the heavy downpour, it was still drizzling. Sarah wrapped herself up in a blanket while waiting for Ejor to return. She could do with a little warmth from the man she loved.

She has always been head over heels for him ever since they met at the University. The day Ejor proposed she literally melted like icecream. His charm was unbelievable. He had his way with words and that made her feel so loving. But there was a very dark side.

Her friends think he’s a ‘player’. Sarah’s friend Amaka said she had seen him on many occasions frolicking with an unknown girl in the club. But that was almost 2years ago in their school days. When she confronted him, he confessed, assuring her that nothing happened between him and the said girl.

Now is it a de-javu? Ever since he got this promotion at his office, he has been keeping late nights. Today before he left, she made him promise he will come back early. It’s her birthday afterall. The time is 2:15am and her fiancee isn’t home. Then she got the text that left her forever broken hearted…



Thanks @stach for this opportunity!
