I knotted my tie and stared at the mirror.
"There's no need to look at the mirror... You look perfect" Carl said to me.
My frowned deepened.
"I don't need a compliment" I said icily.
Carl eyed me. "Can you just wipe off that frown from your face. I see no reason why you are angry...you ought to be happy"
I turned to him.
"Seriously, Carl...I need you to get out of this room"
"What?"
"I said Get Out!!!" I yelled.
Just then, my mum walked in.
"Richard, what's wrong?"
"Everything...mum Everything is f*****g wrong. Am being forced into a marriage to a girl I don't like."
"Are you trying to back off"
"Of course." I scoffed.
Mum burst into tears...annoying sobs.
"Sure you don't want her to slit herself again" Carl said lowly to me.
I sighed deeply and walked to her. "Am sorry mum, I'm not backing off...I'm fully ready to marry her" I said in a forceful tune.
She smiled brightly.
"That's my son... Now hurry up... Everyone is waiting" Mum said and left.
"Damn it." I cursed.
......
Hours Later.
.
I stood in the church with Carl by my side.
"Why isn't she here" Carl whispered.
I shot him a stony glare.
I kept praying silently that she'll not show up.
I don't want to be married...especially not with someone like Vera.
More hours passed. My dad came to me, "Don't be angry, Rich. You know women and makeup." Dad said to me.
Really?
He's apologizing on her behalf.
Oh please Vera don't come.
.
"If the bride isn't here...then the wedding will be canceled" The priest said.
I wish.
"Why not call her" Carl said.
I scoffed. "Why should I?"
"Cuz she's your wife".

Mum was 'bout to cry. "Are you sure something hasn't happened".
"Everything will be fine...is just that my daughter hates Punctuality." Vera's Dad said.
It was then, I got a call.
From Cassy (Vera's best friend).
"Hey, Sir Richard... Your bride is missing" She said in a panicky voice.
When I hung up, I noticed that everyone was staring at me.
"It's Cassy" I said with a shrug. "She said she hasn't seen Vera".
Mum fell to the floor.
"Oh God...am doomed" she screamed.
"The Wedding is hereby Cancelled." The Priest announced and I heard gasps from the crowd.
I winked to my guards and they started following me out the damn church.
.
.
I reached home and tore off my suit.
Dad called a minute later. "Your mom threatened to Die if you don't find your wife" he said sternly.
Really?
"She's with a knife... We're trying to restrain her" Dad said and I noticed a sudden change in his voice. He sounded scared.
"Oh OK hold on...hand over the phone to Her" I said.
A minutes passed.
Then I heard her said amidst tears. "You've just twenty minutes to find her...if you don't...then I'll die and my blood will be upon you". Mum said.
Though it sounded funny, but I knew that she meant it.
The woman has no value for life.
Thrice, she had attempted suicide because I refused to do what she asked me to.
As I hung up... I swore continuously.
Vera.
Even if I find her, I must maje her suffer.
I took my car key and dashed out from the house.
I know where she is.
I know why she didn't come.
That girl is a motherfucker.
Yeah, the nigga took me home but what I thought
would happen didn't happen.... We got into my apartment and instead of him turning
around and getting the hell out of my house, we had
a little party... At first it seemed weird but eventually everyone got
comfortable and became themselves. Damn, my
Jaxon was a party animal..
It seemed like he wanted to get wasted so bad and
his wish became his reality... "Ciara, you are pretty...." He begun running his hands
on my face,"David is a coward for leaving you...."
"I know...Let's get you to bed. You are so drunk..."
"No, I wanna be by your side beautiful..." He
staggered on the couch and pulled me to sit on his
lap... This would have been a very happy moment, if he
wasn't drunk... I would have appreciated Max and
Jane's help but they were so drunk and making out in
the room... I could hear Jane moaning.... "Jaxon, let's get you to bed. You are so drunk..."
"No I wanna be here with you. Hold you, kiss you,
caress you and make you mine..." He begun
unzipping my dress. Nervousness begun kicking in
overpowering every other feeling.... "Jaxon, we don't need to do this..." I ran my fingers
through his hair...
"I want you..." My eyes widened with surprise before
his face pressed against mine... Our mouths locked
into each other as he dropped my dress to my waist... I wanted to say no but I couldn't. I wanted to pull
back but I craved for him more... He was driving me
wild and I loved it.... He begun kissing me hungrily, hands roaming all over
my body while my fingers tightened around his hair... Sadness begun weighing me down on my chest and I
locked it in the depths of my mind. Neither did I want
our first love making to be like this nor want to stop... His mouth never left my skin. He moved slowly up
my neck kissing under my ear making me shiver and
my eyes flutter close... "I wanna make love to you..." He whispered quietly
onto my ear, filling his palms with my breasts before
he begun snoring on my chest.. I shook my head to bring back my sanity and
struggled to walk him to my bed...That was a intense
moment but I wanted him to make love to me like he
really wanted to... Not wake up in the morning and be
like Sorry Ciara I don't know what happened and get
my broken heart broken again... I threw him on the bed and when I was busy
covering him up, he held my hand...
"Please don't leave..."
"I am not going anywhere..." I got out of my dress
and got inside the bed next to him... "Come here am cold..." He placed his hand on my
waist... Cold????Nigga you are sweating like you have been
roaming around in the Sahara desert.... I sat up, took his head and placed it on my lap. I
begun running my fingers through his hair since I
didn't know when again I would have the chance to
have him so close to me... I was a simple country girl and he was the prince
who I was lucky to met. I might be ordinary but the
love that was meant to grow between us would
make us the extraordinary just him and me against
the world... "Jaxon, I hope we be a couple. I want us to get
married and have kids...Let's make the world
invisible infront of our eyes...I want you to be my
man and me your woman..." I spoke to the drunk him
about all my fantasies and didn't know when I fell
asleep because when I woke up I was all alone in bed, covered warmly and in my night gown... "Jaxon!!!!Jaxon!!!!!" No!!!No!!!!I hope he didn't fall in the bathroom and
broke his neck... I ran around the house like a mad
woman but couldn't find me...
Silly me, I didn't see the note beside the bed.. Thank you for yesterday and sorry if I crossed
the limits with you.I hope you forgive me....
See you later, you can come in to work
later...It's okay.. Regards Jaxon... You see this is what I was talking about???Him feeling
guilty the next morning making me feel stupid about
myself... "The queen finally woke up..." Max begun teasing me
the moment I walked into the living room.
"Have you seen Jaxon???"
"Your prince charming left..." Max smiled
mischievously...
"Spill it out Max!!!" "How was it???Is he good in bed???Between him and
David who is the best???"He started driving me crazy
with silly questions as soon as I sat on the kitchen's
counter. "Nothing happened friend...Nothing happened..." "Nothing happened????" Jane shouted walking
towards me... " First I can't believe Jaxon Marcias was in our house
and second that you didn't take advantage of his
drunken state..." "Would you first tie up your bathrobe???"
If she had an opportunity, she would bean advocate
of people walking naked.. It was like clothes made
her body itch... "It's hot here...." She got an ice bag from the freezer and placed on
her head,"Baby, I have a killer hangover..." "I know what will make you feel better," He
whispered seductively and pulled her towards him...
In a spur of a moment, he had already placed her on
the counter and they were kissing hungrily... Come on, not on the counter with me around...
"Guys, I will get going..." No one seemed to care.... I walked into the bathroom only to see Jaxon's wallet
lying on the sink...Yeeeei!!!!I have found a reason to
look for him and find out if he loved the kiss
yesternight.. When I got out of my room into the living room. The
lovebirds were doing it on the counter... I have seen
that a million and one times but I doubt I will ever get
used to it... They had no privacy.... "Seriously guys, you won't wait for me to first
leave...." "Our urges were too much to bear..." Max responded
getting back to business... As pushed my legs forward to the Marcias mansion, I
could feel the butterflies in my belly. What if he was
mad???.What if he never talks to me again???? "Hello Carol, I need to get to Jaxon's room..." I greeted
the house manager. "You know you are not supposed to go up there..."
"I know but do you think I am a fool to come to you
when I know that. He is expecting me plus we have
to go through some work projects..."
"Okay..."
"Give me directions????" " On the first floor on your right the second room..."
"Thank you..." I walked on the grand central stairway onto the first
floor where I forgot whether I was to go right or left. I think she said right.
No she said left.
Yeah it's left the second room... I walked confidently towards the second room on the
left and closed my eyes taking deep breaths before
knocking on the door but no answer... Like a foolish girl, I entered the room like I owned the
place. "Jaxon!!!Jaxon!!!" I dropped my bag and begun looking around when I
heard someone humming out of the bathroom... "Ja....." I begun screaming on seeing who it was and
he joined in the screaming too. Then the worst
happened,his towel fell off his waist and before he
could hold on to it, it was too late. ... He was now in his bathing suit....Come on how many
naked bodies am I to see today????
