Being Mrs Spence

That Saturday, she needed time alone to think over her life.

A peaceful and undistracted environment to focus.

Her days, months, years have been unfavorable. Human have also failed her.

God feel at a distance. Before, she used to feel the presence of God more but not again.

She has no reasonable saving, expenses eats up her money.

Instead of buying the camera that Susan suggested she saved it for other spending.

She has been able to check the camera in Cole’s room three times and saw nothing.

Is almost a month she put it but Cole was going about his life normally.

There was nothing fishy about him.

She removed the camera and dumped it in her bag. she regret wasting big amount to purchase it and wish she never did.

She was happy she didn’t waste the money Susan gave her for another.

She could have moved out during the early time she was in a heated argument with Cole over the pregnancy saga and STD.

But she had no money for another apartment. Taking care of feeding and other expenses eats larger part of her money.

Lizbeth was very understanding. She was not getting paid but chose to remain.

Florence manages to give her some money at the end of the month but she has been working without payment and do not mind.

Lizbeth kind of person was rare. Florence thanked God secretly for a lady like Lizbeth.

Florence needed a quiet time out, and she knew the right place to go.

Her car was bad and needs maintenance but she has been managing all this while, waiting until when she will have enough money to fix it.

She was driving out to the field park when her car broke down on the road.

She had no choice than to call her mechanic who later came and took it away.

He checked it and informed her that the car engine has gone really bad.

Many things was wrong. She should have brought it when she dictated the problem earlier and not waiting until it becomes worst.

He mentioned the first amount she will pay for work to commence on the car.

It was huge.

Florence still has the money Susan gave her, she did a bank transfer to them but the man complained it was not enough.

Florence asked him to start work first she will run around for more money.

Nothing was going to stop Florence from getting the peace of mind she seeks.

She took a cab and went to the place.

On getting there, she did the necessary signing and went in, looked for a better and calm area, she sat on the grass. She draw in a fresh breath with her eyes closed.

Something she has been craving for.

Florence was used to coming here with Maxwell, and miss him alot but everyone was moving on and so she should too.

She felt stuck and don’t know how her life will turn out.

Her eyes remains close, as she sat silently, praying with her heart that God will again have mercy on her.

Her mouth wasn’t moving, but her heart was deeply into prayer.

She desire to have a loving and godly home. children of her own, who will call her mother. Less drama in life.

She desire peace but time was going, age is also not friendly again. Her life was wasting away in fighting for one thing she desires most and yet she is not there.

She was tired of fighting and needs God to step in and take up the wheel of her life.

Tears run down her eyes, she didn’t bother stopping them or cleaning it up. She allows it to flow freely.

She began to whisper some prayers out.

Her mouth was moving, her eyes remained close

“I’m tired God… my whole life is filthy, disorganized like a troubled water. No color, no joy… there’s absolutely nothing to boost off. I’m tired… I’m not growing younger, I want to be a mother. My mates are living fine with their husbands and kids. Why is my life different… why haven’t I find the happiness I have been seeking for years. I know I stepped out of line, I allowed my human flesh to lead… Lord, I failed allot of times. I’m unrighteous in every way. I’m sorry… I’m sorry. I confess it all out to you. Have mercy and change my story for good this time… let me smile again… help me to find the real happiness that comes from you. Step into my situation and add color again to my life. I’m tired of fighting, tired of life itself… I’m just at your mercy. If you approve of Coleman, then work out our union to please you. I don’t want any further trouble, I’m tired of it all. Light up my life… help me walk in your way. I want to live to please you for the rest of my life. God, I’m right in your Palm… do with me as you please. Ligh…

Somebody cleared his throat loudly very close to her.

She opened her eyes and saw him, he was in a simple fine attire, and must be in his early forties.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He was a handsome man indeed.

“I don’t mean to interrupt, forgive me. My name is Bill…

He has a foreign accent and moved closer to her.

“… can I sit here with you? I came with a friend, he is on the other side. I decided to take a walk and came across you. You are crying… I hate to interrupt but I just needed to say hello atleast. You are beautiful, I must confess. I Lived in UK all my life and just came back. I’m staying over at a friend’s place, he was the one that brought me here. He’s a lover of nature and I’m loving everything about this place. I apologise again for disturbing…

Florence assured him that there is no problem.

He sat beside her.

They got along so fine as if they have known for years.

“I can see your wedding band, you’re married…?

Florence nodded and looked down at her ring finger.

… you’re not happy either in your marriage or career. Something isn’t right… I’m sorry, I’m no trying to…

Florence interrupted. “Is fine Bill. You’re right… nevertheless, I’m beseeching God to fix it for me… I know he will.

Bill nodded with a smile.

“Is all gonna be alright. The God that fixed my life will fix yours. when I ran into serious trouble, I became homeless at some point in life. My wife left with my son and remarried. I Lived in the street of London for about three years plus until God remembered me. Those who lied against me and made me loose everything were apprehended. My life was better off than it used to be. I bounced back and my ex wife wanted to come back due to things was not moving well with her new husband but I don’t need someone that left me in my worst state, when I needed her the most. I was better off without her. I take good care of my son like I should. I’m doing great and the friend that brought me here today gave me a great support when I was restarting my life again. He is a friend indeed and I don’t joke with those kind of friend… they’re hard to find. ..

He paused and looked at his phone, it was ringing.

“… I gat to go now… my friend must be looking for me. I don’t know how possible it is, but can I get to see you again. I will love to see you again Florence… please. I will be traveling back to London next two weeks, my friend is coming with me. He said he needed a vacation to clear his head. His going through some personal ish… relationship aspect. He is not married yet and moving to London may help him start his life on a better note. I know you’re married… but I enjoys your calm personality and wish to be friends…

Florence likes Bill already too. He has a warm and friendly nature.

She smiled and was about saying something when she saw Maxwell coming.

His eyes was on Bill.

“I have been looking for you everywhere Bill, can…

He looked towards her and pause. He was shocked to see her.

They locked eyes, staring at each other

“I’m sorry man… I got carried away with this beautiful damsel over here. I’m really happy you brought me, I’m enjoying everything… I don’t feel like leaving yet. Let’s stay a little more Max? By the way… this is Florence. My new found friend…

He turned to Florence and said.

” .. this is Maxwell, my buddy. A great friend. The friend I spoke of. Well, since my birthday is next week, I will love to specially invite you over, please don’t say no Florence. I want to celebrate it over in this state before traveling back to London…

Florence looked away from Max, she picked up her bag to leave.

She turned to Bill and said.

“I have to go, is nice meeting you…

She started walking away.

“Wait… please. Are you driving, how are you going. You came with a car…

“No, my car is bad but I will take a cab Bill.

Maxwell stood in silence, not knowing what to say or do.

He saw the way Bill was flowing with Florence as if they have Known for years.

“What is Florence even doing here? He wondered silently.

She was beautiful dressed in a flower gown, he remembered driving past a boutique and saw the gown in display. He stopped and bought it for her and she loved it.

She pulled her hair all back just the way he likes her wearing her hair.

She was beautiful as always.

Maxwell frowned when Bill grabbed her hand and said.

“Please, I insist… I and my friend will drop you off. Please… don’t turn down my very first request… please Florence..

She looked up at Maxwell, he quickly looked away.

Florence nodded quietly to Bill

She left with Bill while Maxwell followed behind.
