Chapter 9

As the rain kept pouring heavily, Desewa looked out

from her bedroom window, she was suppose to be in

her shop to finish a clients wedding dress but she

decided to stay back to rest for the day, she kept on

thinking of Xavier, 6 month into the relationship he

asked her to marry him, she said yes cause she loved

him so much and didn't want to loose him but she

thinks it's to early and she doesn't know him well

enough to marry him.

Sewa! Kemi said startling her friend, are you alright?

I'm not fine, what's wrong? I think I made a big

mistake, don't tell me it's about the proposal, it is, how

is that a mistake, he loves you Sewa and you love him

too, do you think dating someone for years means

you'll end up together it's not how far but how well,

this guy is good girl don't mess this up cause I know

you, let's start planning wedding please, when is the

introduction? I've you picked a date? I've not told

mom yet, let's take things slow, tell mom so we can

pick a date for the introduction, I've you met his

parents? His mom is my very good customer, that's

how we met she likes me, babe don't mess this up, I

envy you alot, do you know how many guys I've dated

and I'm still here waiting for "Mr Right" thanks babe,

Sewa said hugging her friend.

The rain stopped already, are you going out? Kemi

asked, I'm not going to the shop today but I'm going to

see Xavier I might sleepover, she said smiling, I have

a dinner date with my manager, your manager?

Wilson? Yes Wilson, what's wrong with that? she said

laughing, when did it start? Sewa asked, start what?

It's just a business dinner nothing more, he wants to

introduce me to a designer, he didn't tell me the

designer, he said he wants to surprise me, wow

that's nice, I'm happy for you, thank you, let's watch

some movies on netflix, Kemi said reaching for the TV

remote.

I'm getting married, Xavier told Belinda, why are you

telling me? does that changes anything? she asked, I

want you to stay away from me, you've got to be

kidding me, she said, I'm not joking Linda I'm getting

married I don't want her to see you here, she can't see

me cause I'm not here, I'm in your head, leave my

head then, you know that's impossible I'm going

nowhere you think you can get married now and toss

me away, why did you propose without letting me

know first? You don't own me Linda, I own you, you

took me away from everybody and kept me and you

think you can get married, I'm sorry you know it

wasn't intentional, I don't care Xavier, you can get

married if you want but I'm not leaving you, till death

do us apart,

Are you crazy? Linda you're not here anymore and I

need to move on with my life I want to start a family,

can you hear yourself, you want to start a family after

what you did to me? are you saying you'll stop coming

to me for s*x? Of course I will, I can't let her find out

about us, I love her, so what will you do to me? I'm

still thinking, but for the main time stop showing up

here, where do you want me to go, anywhere but not

here, as long as you are here I'm also here take it or

leave it, there's someone at the door you should get it,

maybe it our wife, she giggled, she's my wife to be and

it has nothing to do with you, let's see, she said

laughing as he opened the door.

Hey baby, Sewa said pecking him on the lips, how are

you doing? He asked fidgeting with the door, I'm good

but you don't look alright, are you not happy to see

me, of course I am, I'm just stressed you know this

week as been a little hectic, alright have you had

dinner cause I'm starving, not yet, I can cook

something nice for you, he said, I don't

mind, she giggled, go upstairs and freshen up, he said.

She's beautiful you know, Linda whispered into his

ear startling him, I thought you left, I told you I'm

going nowhere, please Linda don't ruin this for me at

least not tonight, what's for dinner? Let's make her

something nice, Linda said laughing, this isn't funny

Linda, you better stop talking to me so she won't think

you're crazy, why do you care? Cause I think I like

her, out of all the girls you move around with this is

my favorite, mind your business and stay away from

me, I can't stay away Xavier, you brought this upon

yourself, you made me like this and I'm not leaving

you, common shut up, you're not even here and you

brought this upon yourself, if you didn't snoop I

wouldn't have to kill you, I wasn't snooping, I was

only trying to know you better, you proposed

remember, she said showing him the ring, we just

started dating and you were all over me, I couldn't say

no cause I was in love with you, I thought you loved

me, I loved you Linda I'm still not over you and you

know that, I know you're not that's why you keep

coming back for s*x, dont you like it with her, I do but

sex with you is different, I'm flattered, she said

smiling, does she know you, I mean the real you, no

one knows the real me except you and you're dead,

what if she finds out will you kill her too, she can't

find out, don't be so sure, she looks really smart, mind

your business, you're my business, look who's here,

she smirked.

Who are you talking too, Sewa said looking around

the kitchen, no one just myself, why are you talking to

yourself? When I'm worried, I talk to myself just to be

okay, I knew something was wrong, tell me what's

bothering you, I'm okay, let me finish up here I'll join

you soon, I'm not leaving until you tell me what's

wrong, okay, we lost a major deal today, oh it business,

yes business but I'm okay it's not the first and it won't

be the last, so go and relax, if you say so, I'm famished

please be fast, alright babe, in a jiffy.

You know when we get married, she's going to move

in here permanently, you can't be all up in my face

everytime, are you going to abandon me when you get

married? I'm not going to, but we can't be seeing each

other like this, I can show up anytime I like, you can't

tell me not to not after killing me and making me

miserable like this, are you a ghost? A ghost? Are you

kidding me, I'm not a ghost dummy, I'm in your head,

then why I'm I seeing you, cause you're sick Xavier,

you brought this upon yourself, I'm not sick, get out of

my head, he whispered, alright but I will be back, he

exhaled.
