EX CEO BOYFRIEND WANTS ME BACK

NARRATOR What happens if the man you love loves someone else? Do you leave him because you love him and want him to be happy, do you let him cheat because you still love him, do you turn a blind eye because you hate to admit the fact that he has found someone by his standards, or do you fight for love? Let us just say that a baby gets involved and with all those questions that I have just asked, what would you do? It is very easy to fall into a love hole but how simple is it to come out from it; especially when you and the person you say you love have been through storms that made you believe that the person that you are with will never leave you, but sometimes, the storms end up coming ten times harder than normal and destroys everything that you have built back down to the foundation and the strength to build back everything is just not there anymore because the effort is just no longer the same. Love is very kind but also blind. It never knocks in your heart and lets you know that it is there; you just find yourself falling in love, genuinely. Love just needs you to accommodate it and give it…. Give it Love and appreciate it. Love is nothing materialistic and it does not have to be. Love is special and fragile. It needs care and trust but most importantly, loyalty. Meet my two friends, who are battling with trust and devotion in their relationship. Well, not yet because they are still very much in love, but they just don’t know yet what they will be facing in the future when things change… Oops, I might have said a little too much. I will let my two friends do their own talking while I sit back and watch everything unfold. Oh, their names are, Nandi, a 24-year-old girl with an accounting degree. She is blessed with two dimples and long straight and soft black hair cascading just above her lower back, beautiful brown eyes, medium height, in a cool honey skin tone; and then we have Enzo, her 28-year-old boyfriend of eighteen months. He has a cool sand skin tone, grey-steel colored eyes, tall height, a law graduate, and a soon-to-be billionaire in just a night. Don't ask me how, it will all be revealed in the story.  Here we go. NANDIPHA (NANDI) MOOR I feel so sad. I cannot believe that my boyfriend is going to live eight hours away from me. I really did enjoy having him around and I know that he felt the same. I am very happy that he has finally got a job that is going to take him out of our small town and experience new places, but I really loved seeing him every day. “Come on, don’t do that. This is not the image that I want to take with me to the city. I want you to smile, be happy and let’s celebrate,” He says, cupping my chubby face with his large hands. “I am going to miss you, Enzo,” I caress his harry arms hanging on either side of my face. “You can always visit me, of course after I have settled and made enough money to send to you to come and visit. Would you like that?” “Yes, I would but I do not want to leave my mother alone. Who will take care of her for the days that I will be gone, visiting you?” I sadly lower my face. He placed his two fingers beneath my chin and pushed my face to keep my head up and look at him. “It’s okay, babe. I will then use my days off after a month of settling in and travel back here to see you, okay? Maybe one day, I will get a bigger place for both you and your mother so that she can stay with us whenever you want to visit,” I gave him a weak smile, nodding my head. He is putting so much effort into our relationship, and I just don’t want to bore him with my complaints about my mother’s condition not allowing her to travel long distances. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago. It was treated but unlucky for her, it attacked her again just two months ago and came back ten times stronger than before. There is a chance to get her left breast removed and spare her a year, but then again, it would be risky if the cancer breaks and attacks her heart. These are the doctor’s words. We have used our savings to get her treatment and I have been making and selling beaded jewelry, but I do not make enough profit to cover the hospital costs. My brother also tries to send us some money whenever he can, but it all ends up on the grocery and toiletry. He works at a mine and miners do not earn as much. “Would you like that, Nandi?” Enzo asks, pulling me out of my zone. I smiled and finally breathed out the air I didn’t know I was holding. “I would love that a lot. I better go before your family comes back home,” I said as I got off from his bed and slipped in my slides. He narrowed his eyes at me and asked: “Since when has that ever been a problem?” “Since your brother scares me. Does he ever smile?” He laughed at me, throwing his head to the back. “Only if you knew. He is the sweetest person in this house. Come, hold my hand so that I can walk you out,” We walked out of the house with our fingers intertwined. Enzo makes me happy, and I hope he realizes it. I hope even when he is eight thousand miles away from me, he will still think about me. I hope that a new place and the new job does not and will not ever change him from the person he is to me. I know that our relationship is not always wine and chocolate, but what we have is good; it is just sad there will be a change in the next coming few days, and I will just have to accept it. “So, I will see you later again?” You see; I have been here throughout the day with him, but he still cannot get enough of me. “Yes, later,” As if I can get enough of him. ————————————————————————————— ENZO KING “Pass the ball, you fool!” I smashed the empty can of beer on the table out of frustration. I am watching a live soccer match between Liverpool and Everton, and it is just so depressing. I am favouring Liverpool, but it feels like I am watching cows versus Everton. What the hell is happening to the team? “What’s with the frustration?” My brother, Vince asks, coming into the house from work. “This team just won’t corporate, bro. I spent too much money betting on that team,” I flared my nose in annoyance. “Are you sure that the match is the only thing that is frustrating you right now? Since when do you worry about losing money?” I look at him with confusion. “What do you mean?” I ask. “I mean exactly that look on your face, little bro. I know that the soccer match is not the one that is making you like this. Is it about you leaving to a new place?” He knows me too well. I breathed out loudly, running my hands on my face out of frustration, and leaned back on the couch. “Bro, I honestly feel bad that I will be leaving Nandi behind. If only I could take her and her mother with me, it would make things easier for us,” “Yeah, I understand, but she can always visit you, right?” “Yes, but it won’t feel the same; I am used to seeing her every day. I love her,” I confessed in a proud tone. He weirdly cleared his throat and swallowed. “Then if you love her as much as you say, I hope that you will not let the city life change that and forget about her. You are going to live in Johannesburg, the biggest city where all things happen; good, bad, and even worst tempting things. It is very different from our small town and things there are done differently; I lived there once, remember. Do not mess up when you get there, focus on what you are there for, Mr. Lawyer,” “Thanks, man. There is nothing that I want more than having my own law firm. I am certain that I will only do and focus on what I am there for; the rest of the things will have to wait. I just want to work hard, make a lot of money so that I can get a home for Nandi and me and the best health care for her mother,” “Hey, boys, what are you two up to?” Our mother asks, walking into the house with our father. “Hey, mom, dad. I will see you later,” I got up, taking my car keys on the table. “Ha, but we just got here. Anyway, send my love to her,” My mother winked at me. “I am not going to her,” I joked, opening the front door. “Yeah, you can fool everyone, but never the woman who carried you for nine months in her womb,” ———————————————————————— Nandi opened the door for me, wearing just a pink short towel wrapped around her body and another one on her head. She looks like she was in a shower, smelling like strawberry.  “Hey, babe,” I gave her a kiss on her lips. “I went to the gas station and a florist was selling these beautiful flowers and I thought of the beautiful woman in my life,” I handed her a bouquet of a hundred pink lilacs. “Thanks, baby, I love them,” She said, smiling from ear to ear, inhaling the freshness of the flowers. “I am going to divide them and put them in the vases, right away, make yourself at home,” She said, sounding excited. “Where is ma?” I followed her to the kitchen, hoping that she cooked because my girlfriend makes the best dish than my mom… just don’t tell her I said so. “My uncle came to fetch her to his church. She will be back after the evening service,” “Is it?” I ask, standing behind her on the kitchen counter as she gets busy with the flowers. “Yes. Would you like anything to drink or eat?” Only if she knew what I have in mind. “Are you on the menu?” I asked, seductively as I placed my hands on her shoulders, placing soft kisses on her neck, going lower on her back. “I am serious, baby,” She said, laughing. “Me too, babe,” I abruptly spun her to face me, and I attacked her lips with mine instantly. Her arms involuntarily wrap around my neck, and she gives me the best response of a kiss. My hands started roaming around her body and I ended up slipping them under her towel, feeling her soft firm butt, but the moment ended before I even knew it by a light push on my chest and I quickly opened my eyes open, only to see the shamefulness in Nandi’s eyes. “I am sorry, I got carried away, baby,” I honestly meant it. Nandi is still a virgin and she made it clear when our relationship was still new that she only wants to break her virginity after she gets married. We have been in a relationship for eighteen months now and I totally respect her decision, but I won’t lie; I am dying of drought inside. m**********n just doesn’t feel the same. I am slowly losing my patience; she better pray that I don’t f**k her at a certain point because I will not have any mercy on her. “I’m sorry,” She unnecessarily apologises, looking down to her toes. I put my index finger under her chin and raised her face to look at me. “You don’t have to. I am the one who got lost in the moment,” I pulled her into my arms and gave her the most loving warm hug. “I will stay with you until ma gets back; we can watch a movie?” “And I am choosing, right?” She batted her eyes. “Let me guess… Romantic Comedy,” “Why do I love you so much?” She teased, walking away to dress up in her nightwear. I love her so bad, damn. I went to the fridge to see what I can find to eat. I found corndogs already done, so I helped myself in them. ——————————————————————————
