We drove back to my house silently as Ada sobbed. Princess stared at us from the back seat. I wasn't in the mood to say anything to her. It was funny that after all that had happened, i was only bothered with Ada's welfare. We got home and i carried Princess while i held Ada's hand as we went inside. I left princess in my mom's room and took Ada to mine. We both Sat on the bed and stared at the wall. Ada had stopped crying, she just sobbed and sniffed.
"What do we do?" she asked me
"I don't know, he deserves whatever happened to him for Trying to force himself on you" i sounded stone cold and mean. It was Ada and i cared less about any other person. She snuggled closer to me and rested her head on my shoulder. She cried and i consoled her. It hurts me when i see her crying. I loved Ada fiercely and it even scared me.
"we need to take our bath and you need to change your cloth" i told her and she nodded. I heated water for our bath and we both went in together. I virtually bathed her as she was to numb to do anything. It was a bit refreshing as we cuddled under the shower. I kissed her a number of times before we left the bathroom. I wrapped her in my very big towel as we went into Chinaza's room to look for clothes.
"I don't think any of Chinaza's pants can size you because your butt is two times her own" I said and she gave me the first smile since that day and it lit my heart. We scavenged through Chinaza's wardrobe and later found a gown i assumed will fit her. It did fit her, all though a bit tight on her, it was perfect and made her look more sexy.
I checked on my little sister and she had fallen asleep. I went back to my room with Ada and we sat on the bed.
"What would you like to eat?" i asked her
"Nothing, i don't have the appetite " she said calmly. I too didn't have the appetite.
" Do you think he is still lying down there?" she asked me with worries all over her face.
"I don't know, where are your aunts children? " I asked as i remembered that i didn't see them.
" Uncle sent them out to a friend's house. Maybe he didn't want them to be around when he wanted to rape me" she said.
"I think we should go to the police " i said, it was eventually dawning on me what i just did. I had probably killed a man.
" But they will arrest you, Quincy i don't want anything to happen to you because of me" she cried.
"Ada i don't care.. "
" Let's go to my house and check on him, maybe he didn't die, maybe he just passed out" Ada said with tears in her eyes. I cuddled her to myself, i was trying to comfort her but i also needed comforting myself.
"Let's go to your house first. You will eventually go there in the end, so i think its better we go now" I said. She agreed. I woke Princess up and we took her with us. I couldn't leave her alone in the house. This time around, we didn't take the car. We took a bike.
We got to the house and everywhere was quiet. We slipped into the room where everything happened. With my heart in my mouth, i pushed the door open and the floor was wet with clotting blood but the floor was bare. His body was no longer there.
