“What!” Bridget gasped, astonished. “You mean, Abigail?” She said,
confused. 

“Yes, Abigail, the same I have spoken about for months now.” Peter said
back to her. 

“Abigail, this is my twin brother, Mark and his wife, and queen,
Bridget.” he said to her. 

“Nice to meet you Mark, I have heard so much about you.” Abigail said
with a big grin on her face. 

“Oh, c'mon,” Mark pulled her into an embrace. “A soon to be wife of my
brother deserves a big hug.” He said smiling. 

“Oh...” Abigail smiled back. 

“This is so surprising,” Bridget said to Abigail. “You are the one Peter
has been on heels over with,” She said laughing. “Oh Abi, I'm so glad 
to see you again.” 

“I never imagined you were the one Peter always talk about; he calls you
queen almost all the time he refers to you. When I asked, he said, that 
was what his twin brother calls his wife and they all have taken it as 
her name...” Abigail said laughing. 

“You both know each other?” Peter asked, looking at the ladies. 

“Yes, you wouldn't believe how well I know her.” Abigail said, teasing
Bridget. 

“We attended the same high school and university back then but lost
touch after leaving school.” Bridget said. 

“That settles it then; I guess we can take the bonding period off my
lists,” Peter said smiling. “Since, you both already know each other, 
it unites the family.” 

“You can say that again Peter, I am so glad to see my best friend
again.” Abigail said, taking Bridget into her embrace again. 

“Oh best friends!” Peter said, excited. "I'm getting married to her best
friend." He said to Mark. "That is so exciting." 

“Soon to be best in-laws,” Mark added. “Well, you are welcome again
Abigail, it's good to finally meet you.” 

“The pleasure is all mine, and you do have a beautiful church.” Abigail
smiled, sneaking a look at Bridget. 

“Thank you.” Mark said. 

“I can't believe my Bridget married a pastor, let alone, she is a
minster.” Abigail blurted out. 

“Oh, I can see you still got the big mouth.” Bridget chuckled. 

“Aww dear, I always have the big mouth for you,” She smiled back which
Bridget tried to return the smile, but the reunion was becoming 
uncomfortable for her. 

“I know this is a short visit but I promise we would come visit you
properly during the week, Abigail is resuming at her new place of work 
tomorrow, and need to go get ready.” Peter said. 

Abigail was still intensely looking directly at Bridget; she was both
excited and curious. She wished she would stay longer to catch up with 
her but Peter was right, she had just been transferred from another 
state to her new job which, she would be resuming at tomorrow so she 
has to go prepare. 

“That's okay, maybe, we can arrange a dinner.” Mark said to his wife who
was also staring back at Abigail. 

“Uhmm.....,Sure, definitely.” She replied, lowering her gaze. 

“Alright then, it's nice to meet you,” Mark said. “I have another
programme to attend to.” He said, excusing himself. 

“Catch you later.” Peter said after him. 

Bridget walked them to their car. At this point, every emotion was
swelling up inside her. She couldn't believe her eyes; to have seen 
Abigail was both confusing not alone to be Peter's fiancé. Although, 
Peter had always told them about the new girl he just met, but knowing 
Peter's past relationships, they were not all that excited since he 
changes women like his clothing.  Even though, Abigail lives in another 
state, he always does the travelling every two weeks to see her and 
then announced to the whole family that he had finally found his bride. 


Everyone was so excited about the news and couldn't wait to meet the
woman who had finally caught his eyes. 

Mark was quite different from his twin brother; he was the reserved one,
subtle and more mature while Peter was the opposite. Coupled with the 
fact that their parents are so rich and every estate are in their names 
and need not worry for money; Peter had taken that opportunity to enjoy 
himself and lavish money anytime, anywhere. Mark has since his teens 
given his life to Christ which he has held unto passionately and later 
became a pastor but his love for his brother has held them close 
through all the years despite the wayward nature of Peter. 

Bridget decided to leave Church alone since Mark was still attending
some meetings and that quiet time gave her the opportunity to reflect 
back to her life. Her relationship with Abigail has been a disaster 
right from the beginning and Abigail was someone she never wants to see 
again in her life. 

........................................................................


Many years ago, Bridget had been so frustrated when her mother had to
move to another state because of her nature of work and so, she had to 
change school. Starting a new school was something she wasn't looking 
forward to; the loneliness of leaving all her friends and family she 
grew up with behind made her sad, but that wasn't compare to the 
loneliness of being alone in a new school and new town. 

Everyone knew each other except for her and due to her quiet nature; it
was difficult to make new friends until Abigail approached her. Right 
from the moment she knew Abigail, everything changed; they moved 
together, did everything together. Before long, everyone knew them as 
best friend. 

After few months to their suppose friendship, Bridget noticed something
strange in her friend, although, she was very nice and cared so much 
about her but her attention was becoming an obsession. At first, 
Bridget had craved and loved the attention she was receiving but before 
long, she was entangled in something that changed the course of her 
life. 

In their final year of high school, Bridget's mother had to travel for
business in another state and so, she had to stay with Abigail for a 
whole week. That night, after everyone had gone to bed; Bridget was 
changing to her night wear when she noticed Abigail looking intensely 
at her, she was stunned when Abigail got up to her and before she could 
think twice, they were both locked in a passionate kiss. Her shock and 
surprised had made her scream out in disgust but Abigail would not have 
any of that. She wept and confessed her feelings for Bridget and had 
thought she felt the same way about her since their suppose friendship 
has grown from strength to strength. 

At first, she was scared of rejecting Abigail but gradually she warmed
up to the idea of having a female partner especially when they are your 
best friend. They kept their relationship secret from everyone from 
fear of being rebuked. This went on till the university days; everyone 
were proud of their relationship and the closeness between the two 
friends but no one could ever imagine they were lesbians especially 
since they both took active roles in church. Bridget teaches the kids 
in church while Abigail was an usher. 

It was very easy to blame Abigail for bringing Bridget into the act of
lesbianism but over the years, Bridget realised she had no one to blame 
except herself. She had allowed herself to be drawn into the demonic 
act of sleeping with another woman despite her knowledge of the word of 
God and how they actively speak against such in Church. 

There were some times when she gently spoke to Abigail about their
relationship and what the futures holds for them but Abigail was very 
enthusiastic about them and believes they are met to be together and 
taking each act of faith will establish their future together. 

Gradually, towards the final year of their university, Bridget was
beginning to feel ashamed of their act, especially when they could not 
explicitly tell everyone what they were doing and each time she goes to 
Church and hears the preaching against such act, she felt like a 
betrayal of the cross. She wanted out but her strength failed her each 
time she took the courage to do something. There were times she cried 
herself to sleep out of her weakness, she was fed up but she knew 
Abigail would have none of it, she was the adament and any attempt to 
get out of their relationship might lead to something terrible. 

She remembered the day she told her she wanted out, Abigail had cried
out in despair that she couldn't live without her and her life would 
have no meaning if she leaves. She even threatened to kill herself. Her 
reaction that day scared Bridget and her escape from this relationship 
seems unreal. For months, Bridget was filled with sorrow, she looked at 
her other friends who were into relationship with men and working 
towards getting married and having kids and she feared she might not 
have any of those in her life. She longed for freedom from Abigail and 
also from herself. This is very easy to blame Abigail since she was in 
the picture but her habit was making it difficult to get out. Times 
when she prayed and promised God not to ever go there again and the 
end, she finds herself in the hands of Abigail, kissing and doing 
despicable things with her. 

In all these, both of them never left church; they were committed to
every activities and roles in the church. Only if they could confide in 
someone in the church for help but she knew what the response and 
criticism would be so great that it may impair their lives and 
reputation. 

Towards the end of their final exams in school, Abigail had secured an
apartment for them to live and had so many great plans for their future 
but at this time, Bridget had been thinking of running away from her 
whichever way. She knew telling Abigail to end the relationship would 
never be possible due to previous incidents, so then; she started to 
plan her escape. She had to run away and never look back again. She 
wanted a bright future for herself with a family to call her own, a 
relationship you can boldly tell others about without being ashamed. 
The last straw when she made up her mind to leave was when Abigail 
brought her a ring and proposed to her; it was the most devilish and 
despicable act she had ever seen. That day, she wept so much which 
Abigail took as the tears of joy but she knew in herself that she had 
sold her soul to the devil. From that day, she knew she had to run away 
from her and herself, she had to leave before her life gets destroyed. 

The only place she did wanted to run to was to God but she felt God
would never be interested in her; she was a disgrace to the children of 
God, a stigma that was to be pluck away from him. Daily, she fought the 
lustful desire to touch Abigail one more time; the hot flushes and 
longing to hold her into her embrace and touch every part of her body. 
Oh, what shameful act! She knew there was no future here, how can you 
tell the world you are engaged to be married to your best friend, it 
wasn't a question of who will marry you as she knew some States where 
it was now legal to marry two women but what of their families and 
friends, the church of God and in the sight of God. Shameful act! Each 
time, she teaches and plays with the kids in Sunday school, her heart 
bleeds for one of those but she couldn't have that in her life as long 
as she was tight down in this relationship. 

......................... 

Everyone in Church was always eager of them to get married, they knew
them as best friend, Abigail was the most pleasant usher you could 
never meet, and she was humbled and very pleasant to everyone. In fact, 
many of those visiting the church for the first time always did come 
back because of the reception they received from her. The Church loved 
her, she was a valuable asset to them, and she comes to church during 
the week to clean the whole auditorium, toilet and everywhere for the 
service. She was ready to serve anywhere needed. She was a good person 
and had a good heart towards the things of God. 

Sometimes, she's had people in church trying to match make her with
their brothers or friends they knew were single; they always say they 
would make good wives and mother as she was the most pleasant and good 
woman they did ever met. Yes, they were right, Abigail was down to 
earth, and she could do anything for anyone, irrespective of who you 
are. She never judges you and would even give a word of encouragement 
to those in distress. She wasn't so rich but the little she had, she 
would give to the youth struggling to pay for tuition and those less 
fortunate. She was down to earth. That was Abigail, the best friend you 
can never have but not the best lover to another woman. Then, she did 
it, the day finally came, Bridget planned the whole thing out; Abigail 
had gone home for a family function which Bridget had declined due to 
pretence illness. Before Abigail could come back, she had packed all of 
her things, left a message and left the house. Out of all the decisions 
she did ever made in her life, this was the most difficult, leaving the 
one you have spent years with even if the relationship was immoral, 
they had never for once left one another. She begged her and asked her 
not to look for her as this decision was to be made and if indeed 
Abigail says she loves, she would let her leave and not bother to look 
for her. Bridget was grateful her mother had travelled to another 
country to settle in, so she knew Abigail couldn't contact her for her 
whereabouts. 

It's been almost six years since she took the decision that later
changed the course of her life and now, seeing Abigail back into her 
life was something she wasn't sure about. If indeed Peter was going to 
marry her, then, there's no escaping from her. From the way Abigail 
spoke to her early today in church, she wasn't sure of her intention 
and she wasn't even sure Abigail could ever be involve with a man, not 
talk of marriage. Again, who is she to judge, after all, she is married 
now to the love of her life, who is a pastor and her life has never 
been better since she understood the true meaning of being a child of 
God. So many thought ran through her, a part of her could not trust 
Abigail, what if, she finally found her out and thought the only way 
she could come back into her life was through their lavish brother in 
law who will get into any woman's skirt but Peter also has been 
committed since he announced he had met his soul mate and was ready to 
settle down. 

Bridget never wants to go back to that part of her life but she knew
there was no escape now as everything might be exposed to everyone. 
Abigail has also been mischievous and always gets what she wants no 
matter the cost. She was scared of what to come, what if the whole 
church get to know that their pastor's wife, a minister in church was 
once a lesbian and practiced the act she so preached against and warns 
all the youth about. She thought of all the names, she could be called, 
hypocrite, liar, sinner, lesbians, betrayal, all sort. 

Not only that, she thought about her in-laws who were not in support of
her relationship with Mark from the beginning. They felt she was taking 
advantage of their son due to his quiet and godly nature especially his 
wealth but after three years of their marriage, things were looking 
good for them, they are beginning to warm up to her but now that 
Abigail is back and soon to be their daughter in-law, she was scared of 
what they would think of her now if her secrets comes out. What would 
Peter say? How would her husband feel about the whole things? Would 
this destroy everything she has worked for? Can Mark take the heat when 
things become unbearable for them? She wished she had never met Abigail 
in her life or better still, she never indulged herself in such act, 
things they both did together that her mouth could never explain such 
details to anyone, not even her pen could write them. They were 
shameful act, even though they were born and raise in the church and 
yet, they were the worst sinner and hypocrite. How would she survive 
the coming days?
