1393 Words
“Good morning dear", the message popped up on my phone.
I beamed, picking up the phone,I texted back.
”Good morning Baby, how are you doing?”
Hardly had I asked, how his day was going than he sent another text with evidently sent shivers in my spine
“I’m really sorry Baby, I have done a lot of awful things and I can't help but feel so troubled and f****d up. I can't keep on lying to you anymore.”
“What the hell was he talking about”?
I asked,my face turning red and a mixed feeling of desperation and anxiety surging through me . My body grew cold and my knuckles whitened.
It shouldn't be what I was thinking.
Hell no! Tears welled up in my eyes.My pupils suddenly dilated.”
I furrowed my brow as the thought raced through my mind.
Within that moment, I prayed the bed I had been sleeping on could break and expose me to the ground,to be swallowed by it abruptly.
But that never seemed to happen in eternity.
I was so enraged I couldn't help it anymore.
“Hey,” I managed to text back.
“Please let me know what the issue is.”
I tried to keep calm and be gentle at least although I was deeply aggrieved.
His delay was annoying me so much that I wished I could knock his stupid head and rip him off his clothes.
My teeth gritted tightly and hot sweats
started coming our the pores on my skin.
I picked my phone and dialed his number to hear the bullshit he had to tell me.
Jeffery has always been a sweetheart but his actions were persuading me that he truly was an all-time jerk.
And just as I was about to call,he texted back.
"I'm dating another girl"
The f**k!
That was like a blow on my face. Jeffery had slapped me in the face with those words and I feel the sting lingering within.
" What the hell did I just hear?!"
He sure is playing games with me right now,I said to calm myself. I was already soaked in sobs I didn't know were finding their way out of my eyes.
He had the nerve to cheat one with another asshole!
I had least expected this morning blow from the guy I had entrusted my whole being into.
Thoughts started racing in my mind.
So all the sweetness was a mere facade!
The excuses he gave seamlessly about he being preoccupied were all lies.
The number of times I had called and he had refused to give any tangible reason for his inability to answer my texts or call me back were all fucken lies!
His incessant complaints that he didn't have money and all the sudden aloof behavior he was putting up was because of a girl?
”Wow!”I didn't realize when those letters slipped out of my mouth.
My heart ached badly as I surveyed my environment disdainfully.
The shock that swept over me was just too palpable. I never thought that innocent looking guy could be sliding into another female just like that .
Jeffery and I had been going out for the past five months and I can't deny the extent he had gone in the early stages of our relationship to my heart beat for him.
My lips parted nervously and I cursed that b***h for keeping me in that suspense.
My happiness was one thing he cherished and his availability another thing I never lacked.
We met on the street of Los Angeles after I had decided to take a stroll to ease the tension seated within my body,setting me ablaze in a despicable way.
My family had been having issues and my mom seemed to be angered by the least p provocation.
Damn! I never provoked the woman ever. My mom, hard a fierce temper and she will definitely retaliate whenever something didn't sit we with her.
I hated that she always wanted to be right, Always!
She could literally piss me off whenever she did that.
I loved my family but it grew a bit awkward to live in shortly after my dad deserted us for another hypocrite who couldn't advise him to rethink his stance to leave his beautiful family for a b***h like her.
Those two were all full grown bitches and I despised them to the core.
"Bullshit all around me", I suddenly said, bringing me out of my trance,almost forgetting that I was outside
I was now on a deserted park. I wasn't even conscious of my own environment. What!
For some unwarranted reasons,I could get lost
in my thoughts deeply that and that scared me . I was convicted that I could be knocked-down by a crazy and reckless driver one day if I continue this habit.
My head felt unusually light and I could see the world spun around me so I stopped.
“What the hell was wrong with me” ,I cried in disbelief.
My vision became blur and I heard my stomach growl loudly. The dizziness was just too much as I turned in directionless circles.
I felt I was too weak to even move .My palms clutching to my stomach trying to fight the excruciating pain, I was feeling. The pain was very sharp and it scared me
I fell and blacked out.
I woke up in the arms of heaven knows who. I had leaned in his chest and he was stroking my hair and straightening it up.
Those palms,were too soft to be those of a male. What!
The mere thought of being in the arms of a make scared me and I flipped my eyes opened.
The last thing I remember was being carried into a car until now.
Fuck this bullshit!
The position I was was so shitty.
He held me rather too tight to his chest,my head on his chest which will never stop beating and he cupped my cheeks as though I were some two year-old.
I wanted to run but I felt something had held me firmly. The grip on my waist was too intense and the relaxative effect of the leather sofa made me home sick and I honestly wanted to be in there till eternity.
I dare not!
I disentangled myself from the awkward position I was with him and he looked sternly into my eyes as though he wanted to peep into my soul.
”Shut those silly eyes!”, I smirked.
He wore a tailored blue shirt and shorts his curly hair falling gently on his forehead.
He looked at me quizzically, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
His ocean blue eyes surveyed my entire body and I felt embarrassed. I stepped back and awkwardly straightened my apricot dress as though it were crumpled. It actually needed none after I looked down.
"The f**k!
Was he having his moment with me? Does he think we were in a romantic novel or something.
The Shakespearean's time was long gone so what was he thinking"
He grinned as he looked at me . The room was unbearably choked with palpable silence and I felt I was going to die.
"Hey, are you alright? A husky voice broke the silence. Genuinely,I felt relieved but the tone was a bit troubling for me.
"Shake that off", I revived .
He looked at me and the feeling I had dreaded written all over his face .
He looked too worried.
A smile flashed on my lips and I knew that was very fake.
I nodded , and quickly added
"What happened please?"
He cleared his throat before speaking
That wasn't necessary to me though, I shrugged.
“Do you really want to know?", He passed me a pitiful look.
How rude, I thought, clenching my fist.
"I think you should take breakfast before going on a stroll", he chuckled harder, a mischievous smile playing around the corners of his mouth.
Another stupid answer I least expected.
”Who does he think he was, some Prince from a fairy land asked to rescue a fragile and famished queen?",my inner voice let out bitterly, my ego unleashed.
I exhaled,my eyes reddening.
Before a word could escape from tightly held lips,he cut me off.
