LAST SUPPER WITH EDDYFLAMES
THE BET (THE CONCLUSION)
… I climbed the
stairs ploddingly,
still no clue of
how to set things straight,
Unlike Mandela, I
am on a long work to redemption,
I slowly turned
the door knob,
As I was about to
speak, she gentle asked me to seat,
I placed my butt
gentle on the chair,
Like I was on a
land mine,
Observing the
whole scenario,
I noticed a bottle
of Cabernet on her hand.
A wine glass, her
phone, and a cutlery knife on a table,
A packed up suit
case by the door,
The glass shows,
she’s had a couple of pours.
Her phone, I guess
she has made several calls,
The suit case,
wondering whose belongings are in there (hers or mine),
The knife! Why is
there a knife?
I know she isn’t
temperamental or suicidal,
Deep down she’s
battling a war of words inside her,
Biting her lips
and taking a deep breath,
She stares at me,
calls my name in full … EDWARD.
You know this wine
was meant for my promotion,
I want you to have
that in mind.
So Edward! why the
Bet?
Now am in a
dilemma, if there’s anyone to get me out,
It’s going to be
the truth, nothing but the truth,
So I said, babes;
boys will be boys
and games will be played,
It was all a prank
gone bad,
A dice was cast my
way and I was said to have lost my game,
I laughed and
declined their attestation,
But the bet came
to pass, when a pretty lady walked into the bar,
Kendrick’s called
me out and the guys succumbed to him,
I pleaded for a
parley but it was to no avail,
They became
persuasive as our drinking got in tense.
Apparently one of
the guys were in her past.
With much chanting
I lost my focus,
I stirred at the
lady and I smiled,
I smiled because
fortune was on my side,
I got the guys
boxed and called for a wager,
And the bet came
into existence,
I walked to the
lady, with a glass of bourbon,
A glass a bourbon
my lady, she turned and smiled,
I sat down beside
her backing the guys,
Lady Thelma I
said, with a smile on my face,
She responded, the
Big Edd,
it’s been years
and you never forgot my love for whipped Bourbon,
I replied old
habits die hard,
Thelma was my ex
during youth service,
After minutes of
catching along, I told her about the Bet,
She giggled hard,
and stared at the guys,
Surprisingly she
was game with the bet,
Apparently she
wanted pay back, for her past with one of the guys,
We both left the
lounge to the car lot,
She promised a
gift to seal the bet,
We left our
separate ways without the guys knowing.
Later that night I
got a message from Thelma,
A picture of her
Valkyrie Tattoo on her hip,
It was tagged with
a note,
for your boys,
Jude (her ex) would confirm.
I was surprised
because when we dated, she had no Tattoo,
Immediately, I sent
the pic to the guys,
Tagging it
#conquest,
And that’s the
whole truth babes,
Vicky smiled and
passed the cup to me,
I knew of your past
with Thelma but needed to be sure she isn’t in our present,
So I sipped from
the cup and congratulated her on her promotion,
She smiled, saying
you need a change friends,
I replied I know
babes, I really do,
The end.
Purple Butterfly.
