Chapter 2 2.

It was already 7 p.m., Julia hasn't forgotten the appointment she has with Frank, so she tries to go but first, go see her mom.

" Mom ?" she says

"Yes my daughter, are you going out?" her mother asks curiously.

"Um yes mum, I'm going to go get something from Josiane, she told me to come by at this time" said Julia and barely glanced at her mother

"You know very well that I don't like your girlfriend, I don't feel her and I really don't like you continuing to walk with her! exclaimed her mother, suddenly showing her caution in front of her friend.

She approaches her mother and gives her a small hug while smiling.

"I assure you, you are seriously mistaken, I don't know why you are suspicious of him, anyway, mum, I'm going, I won't take long," said Julia hastily before disappearing from the house.

"Okay, try to be careful in your markets" his mother told him.

Julia was uncomfortable, because she had to lie to her mother just to go see her lover Frank, they are often used to seeing each other in the bushes because he wanted a very quiet and comfortable place without too many noises, forced to see themselves a little far from their can.

A few minutes Julia arrives and finds Frank's back, seated. She approaches quietly until she goes to him and blindfolds him with her tender hands.

"Julia is it you??" Frank asks curiously.

"Yes it's me" she said with a sigh.

"Honey" he turns around and hugs her.

"So you thought I wasn't coming?" asked Julia gesturing

Frank gorged himself without taking the time

"You've taken enough time" casting a suspicious look on Julia.

"Sorry, I had to come up with a convincing argument for Mom to let me out, even as I hate having to lie every time to come see you." she told him as she approached Frank and put her right hand on his cheek while stroking.

"It will all end, you know how much I love you and I want the best for you!!! At some point, we will no longer hide and we will show everyone that we are together. he said smiling

"I really wish so, so tell me how was the day?"

They sat down, glued tight without leaving anyone.

"AH! As usual, just that today I didn't have much to do. What did you tell your mom to be here? Frank asked, playing the little rascal.

"Well, I was going to Josiane's, but really I don't understand why mum doesn't like her, every moment she has to warn me about my company with her" smiling...

"Oh! I'm not going to contradict your mum, you know, we ourselves know that she has a character that's a bit not very Catholic," Frank says with such sincerity.

"Never mind, she can't hurt me" said Julia in a reassured way.

"We're not here to talk about your mother or your supposed friend," Frank replied.

Julia's face changed and she became less happy because of the words of her companion.

" Really??? be called a friend?" she asked him in astonishment, she withdrew from him.

"I'll be honest with you, but I don't like it myself." he said without withdrawing his words.

" You know what?? It's better for us to talk about other things » she said looking at Frank

"Here, come on," Frank told her, approaching her more.

He walks up to her lips and kisses her tenderly, kissing her for several minutes and then he puts his hand on her leg and pulls her up until she stops him.

"Frank please?" Julia's smile faded, she was beginning to feel uneasy.

" What's the matter ?? You do not like ?" widening his eyes.

"If I like it but I don't want to go far I tell you all the time" explained Julia while hesitating.

"Tell me you don't trust me??"

Frank's gaze has completely changed, Julia still pushes him away whenever he tries to get closer to her.

"If I have confidence, but I would like us to do it in a normal way, after the wedding." she said lowering her head.

"I told you that I would marry you, you know very well that I love you very much."

"Yes I know but if you love me a lot as you say respect my decision!" she exclaimed, being very sad.

She gets up sulking. When Frank noticed this, he too got up and approached her.

"My love, don't get angry, you know that I love you very much. Ok, I respect your decision.

She turns around and looks him straight in the eye.

"I know you have urges but I wouldn't like to do things and then have regrets. I love you too but be patient"

"Ok honey, that's enough, let's sit down. »

They continued to chat with smiles forming on their lips.

Already almost two hours that they spent time together, that Julia realized that she had already spent too much time outside.

"Oh! I have to go home, I'm sure mom is already worried" she retorted being very stressed.

"You're right, I don't want you to have any problems because of me, I'll walk you home ok." standing up to help him.

" Thanks a lot ." while smiling.

This is how he accompanies Julia and leaves her in front of her house.

She was all stressed, afraid of the reaction that her mother was going to show but when she came home, she noticed that her mother was already asleep. She closed all the doors and went to her room but before that she praised the lord, After that she fell asleep.

A new day dawns again, Julia was still sleeping until her mom came to wake her up.

"Hello my darling, are you still sleeping? It's almost 8 o'clock," her mother told her as Julia slept.

After so much insistence, Julia woke up but had the trouble to open her eyes better.

"Yes mum hello...sorry really. Did you sleep well?" she asked, stretching.

"Yes I slept well and currently I am going to the market to sell. Please get up and fix the house." patting her on the back to wake her up quickly.

" Already ? Ok mum I got it" she gets up at the same time

"Ok my daughter I'm going" rushing to finally reach the place where she has an appointment

"May God protect you" wishes Julia to her mother.

While her mom was on her way, behind her gets up and starts with the chores.

A few minutes later, her friend Josiane arrives at the house.

"Hey hello my friend," said Josiane crossing her arms.

" Hey, are you here ?"

"Of course I am here.... You work » asks Josiane with a bitter smile

"Yes yes" said Julia, straightening up to speak well with Josiane.

" If not, what's new ?"

"Well nothing special, I find you a little too happy, tell" giving him a mine of curiosity.

"I assure you, I'm happy. Yesterday I met a well-positioned man, I assure you. said Josiane, displaying a mischievous attitude.

Josiana begins to smile.

"You with your stories of a man, morning, noon, evening.." replied Julia, banging the broom on the ground.

"Wait, let me tell you, yesterday he invited me to a very beautiful place in this very village, as I would have preferred it to be in town... Apparently he was coming to see his family on this side, you see, and that's not the place. better. He invited me over and we chatted and everything, when he asked for my number, I told him I didn't have a phone and guess what? He wasted no time and immediately got me a phone, see yourself. she shows him her phone immediately.

"Aïe Josiane, with all the telephones you collect from each man you meet, aren't you tired? It's not a life believe" said Julia reluctantly.

"Leave me with your advice there." all serious.

"You are my friend, stop strutting around with different men it won't get you anywhere, be serious and try to be with one man who will even marry you."

"Are you referring to your relationship you have with Frank?" Julia I always told you that this guy is not made for you and there is no evidence that he will marry you he does not love you! Josiana exclaimed.

"Okay if you say so" said Julia shrugging her shoulders.

"Really it's your problem" she said looking down at her.

Julia deemed it prudent for her friend not to speak of Frank in this way, she glanced at Josiane after her expressionless words and then continued to work without managing Josiane's mood.

Josiane has always had to denigrate Julia and Frank's relationship since they have been together. But despite everything Julia never listened to his mouth and continues her love for him.
