THE MAFIA DON AND HIS NUN

[The next day]

[At Theresa’s house]

The bright rays of sunlight shone into the room. The light reflected on Theresa’s face, causing her to wake up from her sleep.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Theresa yawned loudly as she sat upright on the bed. She stretched her arms lazily and got down from the bed.

She went inside the bathroom and brushed her teeth, then she took her bath. Theresa had nowhere she was planning to go, so she decided to wear a casual cloth.

She opened the closet and raked through the new dresses till she found what she was looking for.

She picked a white tank top and wore it. Then she wore a jean bum short which revealed her laps.

Theresa’s phone stayed ringjng. She took it from the table, then she checked the caller’s ID. Brad’s name displayed boldly on the caller’s ID.

Theresa picked the call then she placed the phone close to her ear.

“Good morning Brad.” She greeted.

“Morning Theresa, trust your night was good?” Brad asked in reply.

“Yeah, and yours?”

“I couldn’t sleep throughout the night.” Brad replied.

“Why were you not able you sleep? You’ve got a sleeping paralysis?” Theresa joked.

“I was thinking about you.” Braf replied.

“Aww! I am flattered!” Theresa gushed.

“So, how’s your plan going?” Brad asked.

“It’s working smoothly.” Therrsa answered, “I just became a nun at reverend Alfred’s church.” She added.

“That’s great! But I’m gonna miss you so much.” Brad said.

“Don’t worry baby boy, I’ll be back before you know it.” Theresa replied.

“The general told me to inform you that you shouldn’t hesitate to call us for help whenever you need it.” Brad informed.

“Alright, I’ll keep that in mind.” Theresa replied.

“Okay then, goodbye.” Brad said.

“Yeah, and take care of yourself.” Theresa replied, then she ended the phone call.

Theresa’s stomach grumbled, signifying that she was hungry. She immediately put on her flip flops and walked out of the room.

She descended the staircase till she got to the living room, then she turned to the right and found the kitchen.

A “wow” escaped Theresa’s lips as she stepped inside the kitchen. It was fully stocked with various groceries and foodstuffs.

Theresa didn’t know what to eat so she just picked a pack of cereal and a pack of milk.

She poured the cereal in a wide plate and added water to it, then she poured the whole pack of milk inside it.

“Breakfast is ready!” Theresa exclaimed as she picked a spoon. She carried the plate of cereal and walked out of the kitchen to the living room.

She switched on the television and sat down on the couch, then she started eating while watching the TV programme.

[At Saint Romans Catholic Church]

“The coming of the Lord is near. For this reason, move closer to God and fufil His will, His commandments and His wish.” Alfred concluded his sermon.

“Let’s rise on out feet as I call Reverend sister Elizabeth, to come and lead us in the closing prayer.” Alfred said.

The whole congregation clapped their hands as Viper walked to the altar. She was putting on a black gown which covered her shoe. Her face was void of make-up and she wore no jeweleries.

Alfred handed the microphone to her, then he walked to his seat.

Viper faced the congregation, then she shared the grace in fellowship.

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the holy spirit, abide with us now and forever.”

“Amen!” The congregation chorused.

“The Lord bless each and everyone of you as you journey back to your various homes.” Viper prayed, then she dropped the mic on the pulpit and walked to Alfred.

Everyone started exiting the church one after the other until there was no single person left except Alfred, Viper and Caesar.

“I need to go and change this dress I’m wearing. It irks me.” Viper said, irritatingly, referring to the gown she wore. Then she walked through the secret door at the back of the altar.

“Caesar.” Alfred called.

“Yes boss?” Caesar answered.

“Is the new nun at home?” Alfred asked.

“She should be at home. I don’t think she has anywhere to go.” Caesar replied.

“Alright. I am going to her house now, and I am going alone.” Alfred said.

“Okay boss.” Caesar bowed.

Alfred adjusted his fake moustache and fake eyeglasses, then he walked out of the church.

He got inside his car and inserted the key into it’s port, then he turned on the ignition.

Alfred stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the church’s compound.

********

Theresa was still watching a movie in the living room. She stood up when she heard a car, horning outside the house.

“Could that be Reverend Alfred?” She muttered. Then She stepped out of the living room and walked towards the gate.

She opened the gate and Alfred’s car drove inside the compound.

Alfred parked the car then he came down. Theresa closed the gate and she walked towards Alfred.

Alfred’s body stiffened when his eyes came in contact with Theresa’s body.

Theresa wasn’t wearing a bra so the shape of her breasts was evident in the white top she wore. Her nipples were also pointing out

Theresa’s fresh laps glistened under the sun as she walked towards Alfred.

“Good morning Reverend Alfred.” Theresa greeted with a smile on her face.

Alfred cleared his throat and compose himself.

“Morning sister Theresa. How was your night?” Alfred asked, with a fake smile on his face.

“It was great, all thanks to you.” Theresa replied.

“Me?” Alfred asked. He was a bit confused.

“Yes. If you hadn’t helped me yesterday, I would have probably slept under a bridge. But I slept peacefully yesterday night.” Theresa answered and Alfred chuckled.

“It’s not me you should thank, you should thank the Lord.” Alfred said, pointing towards the sky.

“Alright, let’s go inside.” Theresa said, leading the way.

The both of them walked inside the living room and Alfred sat down on a couch.

“I didn’t know that you were coming morning,” Theresa said, “I would have prepared something that you would eat.” She added.

“It’s fine.” Alfred replied.

“But I can still prepare a fast food such as pasta. Do you like eating pasta?” Theresa asked.

“Yep, I love it.” Alfred answered.

“Alright, I’ll be right back.” Theresa said, then she walked to the kitchen.

Alfred stared at her retreating figure till she was out of sight.

“She’s pretty, humble and endowed.” Alfred said, inwardly.

Few minutes later, Theresa came back to the living room, then she sat down beside Alfred.

“The pasta will be ready in less than thirty minutes. I hope you won’t leave before it’s ready.” Theresa said.

“No, my schedule is kinda free today.” Alfred replied. Theresa smiled at his reply.

“You were just coming back from church, right?” Theresa asked.

“Yes.” Alfred answered.

“I really wish I can be devoted to God, like you are.” Theresa said. Alfred faced her with a smile on his face.

“You can, only if you truly love God.” Alfred replied, “You can’t possibly be devoted to someone you don’t love. Am I right?” He asked.

“Yeah, you’re totally right.” Theresa replied with a smile.

Alfred was captivated by Theresa’s smile. The way Theresa smiled, looked familiar to him.

“You smile reminds me of someone.” Alfred said.

“Who?” Theresa asked, shifting closer to Alfred.

“The only friend I ever had.” Alfred replied.

“Is the person dead?” Theresa asked, worriedly. Alfred smiled sadly before answering her question.

“I don’t know.” Alfred answered.

“Is the person a he or she?” Theresa inquired.

“She.” Alfred answered.

“Then she must have been so dear to you for you to be able to remember her smile.” Theresa said.

“Yeah, she was dear to me and would always be.” Alfred replied.

Theresa stared at him for a while, then she spoke up.

“I know I shouldn’t be saying this, but..” Theresa paused, “You sound romantic.”

“Seriously? I sound romantic?” Alfred chcukled, “No, you got the wrong guy.” He added.

“I am serious.” Theresa replied, and Alfred faced her.

There was an awkward silence in the room as the both of them stared deeply into each other’s eyes. Their faces were just inches apart.
