Chapter Twenty two of Ruthless
Confession night with the girls😊"I said it. Almost all bloggers are posting these pictures. This person looks just like you. What happened Tacha?"
"Where is my Mum?" Tacha walked right in, asking Kenny what had been on her mind instead. She turned around. "My mum is not here."
"You should have at least answered me first. Your mum is fine anyways." Kenny's voice didn't sound too well. She was annoyed.
Tacha sat on the bed. Her hands covering her face before looking up at Kenny. Her eyes were completely red and swollen from tears. "Kenny I'm sorry." Her eyes were wet. "Right now, I don't even know what's going on with me." She was about to cry. "I'm sorry have not been telling you some things. I just didn't want to to bother you with my problems cause you are really trying for me Kenny."
Kenny moved closer to Tacha still on her feet. "How could you say that Tacha. I'm your best friend. Whether I pay most of the rent, buy most of the foodstuff, or pay some bills before you get to pay me back. It doesn't mean anything. You don't have now doesn't mean you can't have later. And it's not as if you intentionally delay your payment. You have lots of bills to pay than me. It shouldn't make you think I would feel bothered or angry. Then why am I your friend if you can't confide in me. I feel dormant being in your life when I let you occupy my space. I felt bad you didn't tell me you were done with Ricko. I looked like a fool for telling him some things I shouldn't have if I had known you were no longer with him."
Tacha bit her lower lip hard, nodding, trying not to cry. She looked up at Kenny, placing her hand on the bed. "Sit next to me let me tell you a story."
Kenny look so worried watching her best friend trying so hard not to cry. She gently sat close to her on the bed. "Tacha you look so bad."
"Yes." She agreed. She was a mess. She quickly wiped the tear rolling down on her face before more could. "Do you know Nathan Brown. The son of the Brown's family you told me I could work for."
Kenny nodded. "You don't know Nathan Brown?"
Tacha shook her head. "I met Nathan when I first went to the Lucas lounge. I didn't tell you this as well, but can you remember a lady in a blue hair, mini jean skirt, with rimmed glasses that was embarrassed a month ago?"
Kenny raised her brow. "Wait! It was you? Jesus!" Kenny stood to her feet. "Tacha. That was Nathan Brown. I didn't even recognise you. Why do you have to dress that way?"
"Because Ricko cheated on me Hannah!" Tacha shouted out of frustration. "They talked about me wearing covered clothes, baggy clothes, dressing old-fashioned, having a hot body but completely messed up and useless with it. They laughed at me not knowing I could hear them from where I stood. They didn't know I was there that day." Tacha cried. "I came back home and decided to dress just like my slim best friend. Mini skirt, exposing all of my body to attract men and may be that could convince them that I'm beautiful, sexy and a woman someone would want to be with. But guess what, that was where my nightmare started. Meeting Nathan Brown who I didn't give a fuck about."
Kenny's hands went to her mouth as she stared at Tacha. She didn't know what to say. She saw Nathan at the party Tacha invited her to, but there wasn't much time for her best friend to tell her how she met Nathan, telling her she would have the discussion with her later. And now...was she happy? No. Seeing the state Tacha was. How unhappy she was telling her this story, she wanted her to stop, but somehow she realised Tacha wanted to let everything out. With the way Tacha was shouting while having this discussion, Kenny thought she needed to let her be to free her mind. She was definitely tired of keeping everything to herself.
