Chapter Two
He walked into the bar his eyes scanning every corner of the room,he sat close to the window admiring the sunset he dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out a newspaper he read it bit by bit flipping through pages and taking a sip of his coffee. “Here’s your bill” Rosella said handing him his slip, after making his payment he softly said “I wanted to apologize for the other night”, Rosella widened her eyes trying to apprehend what she just heard “why do you look confused?” Francis asked “Nothing and have forgotten about the other night it’s fine am not longer mad at you ” she said giving him a warm smile he couldn’t help but smile back he suddenly stopped himself “sorry I have to leave” he stood up gripped his jacket and left. “What’s his problem?” Rosella whispered to herself her brows furrowed, she cleared his table and went back to work.
Francis laid on his bed trying to get some sleep, Tina stepped in and also laid on the bed Francis moved his body turned his face to the wall and held his pillow firmly. Tina stretched out her hands, moving her body slowly she touched him on his waist caressing him down to his lower button she gave him a breath taking kiss she then moved her hands up to his chin pecking him slowly moving to his lips she seemed to have spot his weakness she sized the opportunity moved her hands gently across his chest carefully unbuttoning his cloth placing his hands firmly on her thighs ready to gobble him. He suddenly drifted away “what exactly do you want from me? Stop traumatizing me Tina, stay away from me please am pleading” “just give me a chance to fix things” she responded coming closer “stay where you are don’t move an inch” Francis stood up and stormed off Tina sat on the bed her hands on her face thinking of what to do next.
“I think it’s high time I filed for divorce” “take it easy on yourself, think it over and if it’s your final decision you got my support” Adam patted Francis. He unbuttoned the first button on his shirt adjusted his tie, he grabbed the telephone “It’s me Francis, I need you to prepare a divorce paper, how long would it take?” “It should be ready in three days” “Good”, Francis hung up. “Common man chill out your gonna be okay” Adam cheered up his friend. “I need to get home” Francis stood up “aren’t you coming?” He asked, Adam soon joined him.
“Tina” Francis called out, she stepped out of the kitchen her hands filled with flour “You called me” “we will be having a divorce in three days be prepared” Tina mouth widened, a sharp pain pierced through her heart, her hands trembling, her knees felt numb “Please don’t do this” Tina begged her voice shaky “It’s final” Francis spoke with a stern look on his face, he headed into the bed room living Tina dumbfounded. He took off his suit and walked into the balcony he stood at the edge closed his eyes enjoying the warm breeze he seemed to have a flashback he remembered how he met Tina at a ballroom, she looked so stunning and charming on her red dazzling dress she stole his heart, “Hey beautiful” Francis walked up to her wearing a warm smile” she looked at him feeling overwhelmed, he stretched out his hand she placed her hand on his palm and he gave her a tenacious kiss on her hand her face turned bright red they chatted for hours when it was time to leave he drew close her face she could feel his breath on her neck he pecked her on neck and slowly drifted to her lips she grabbed him by his neck deepening the kiss. They pokily pulled away and stared intensely at each other, Gradually their feeling erupted and soon they were married.
"Please don't do this” Tina’s cry made Francis snap out of his thoughts, she held his knees firmly unwilling to let go “I can’t leave you for any one else you have to forgive me” she kept on crying out but her words seem to have no effect on him. He freed himself from her grip and left she ran towards him screaming and yelling her eyes full of pain and guilt, but he didn’t care he strode towards the door about to leave the chaotic scene “I will slit myself if you leave” Tina threatened holding a penknife towards her throat “What are you doing?” Francis shouted his eyes fierce “We aren’t divorcing and that is it” Tina screamed her lungs out, her words were firm. “Look I don’t have time for this if you think slitting your throat would make me have a change of mind then you’re wrong, do whatever that pleases you”, He said and slammed the door shut, she couldn’t believe her ears nor her eyes she threw the knife rolling on the ground she knew she didn’t have any thing on him anymore she sat on the ground her hand on her head she echoed “No this isn’t happening someone please wake me from this nightmare” she tried getting up but her knee’s were numb she dragged herself up falling in different directions her lips quiver she want ready to let another woman have Francis. “His mine and mine alone I won’t let him slip past my eyes”.
