8 - The Departure

Hey guys I'm really sorry for the late update. Please enjoy this chapter. Love you guys 👌.

Daniel's POV
I opened my eyes slowly realizing that it was already morning. What happened last night?. I looked at my side; there was Damilola sound asleep; wait what?.
How did I get to her bed and I was only in my underwear and singlet. This really got me thinking.
I felt drowsy somehow so I stood up and went into Dammy's bathroom to wash my face. I took a good look at myself in the mirror; I think I drank too much last night; that's not good.

I came out of the bathroom and found Damilola already awake. She stared at me awkwardly and I wondered why.
"Good morning, how was your night?"She said, "Morning, it was Okay"I decided to answer.
"You looked kind of confused"Damilola said, "you got really drunk last night and I had to bring you here because you literally collapsed and I undressed you so you could sleep comfortably"She added.
I get that was a logical explanation; "Okay"I answered as I exited the room. When I stepped out, it flashed into my head; my clothes; forget it.

I went to have my bath and later came down to have breakfast. I didn't feel like attending service today; I just wanted to rest at home. I would simply watch it online.
I was almost done with my breakfast when Damilola came down. She sat beside me and also got served her own breakfast. She looked ready for service and also very beautiful.

Damilola's POV
Daniel looked like he wasn't going anywhere. He was also looking at me strangely; what's up with him.
"You seem like you're going no where" I said taking a part of my food into my mouth.
"Yeah, and so?"He replied, "I hope you're not forgetting that today is Sunday"I reminded him, "I'm quite tired so I'm not going anywhere, I watch online instead"He answered, "Really?, You're tired, what work did you do?"I exclaimed, "what kind of ridiculous question is that, whether I chose to stay home or go out is none of your concern"He replied.
"Yes it is, I'm your wife remember, I have a say in what you do, like yesterday when you got so drunk and drove home, do you know how dangerous that was?"I said, "what makes you think that you being my wife gives you the right to tell me what to do?"Daniel answered.
"I don't know but you can't just behave anyhow, you're my husband and I'm responsible for you"I told him.

He looked at me then sighed and then he stood up and wanted to leave; heading upstairs. I wasn't going to let him. "And where do you think you're going?"I asked stopping him from moving any further.
"Upstairs as you can see, have your breakfast and stop being a pest to my life"Daniel answered. I stood up and went over to where he was standing; I stood in front of him.
"I'm not leaving without you, you're not looking that bad, you can go like this"I said, "could you leave me alone and move out of my front?, I'm going no where and you're free to stay with me if you like"Daniel replied.
"Fine" I exclaimed as I moved away from his front. "Thank you"He said as he walked up into his room. I just stare.

I knocked on Daniel's door; decided to have some manners; no response. I just enter. He turned his head to look at me. "What are you doing here?"Daniel asked, "you said you're watching service online and you gave me permission to join you so here I am"I answered him as I came to sit beside him in his bed. He shifted away when I did that and looked at me in a kind of manner that I can't explain.
"I said you could stay if you wanted, I didn't invite you to join me"Daniel said; "Well indirectly you did"I replied.

Daniel just sighed and kept quiet. We did watch the service online together. After that, I finally left him alone and stopped troubling him.
I made up my mind that as from hence forth I'm going to make our marriage work and make him fall in love with me; it's would be like this marriage wasn't never arranged one. That was my promise.

Daniel's POV
Damilola finally let me be. She seriously had issues.
Later on, I dressed up to leave; Beatrice was traveling today and I needed to see her before she left.
I took my car keys and went downstairs about to leave when Damilola stopped me.

"Nibo ni oko mi n losi?( Where is my husband going to?)"She asked, "Kini isoro e?( What's your problem), Could you please just let me be?"I answered her, "I didn't say you couldn't go out, I'm just asking where you're going in case something happens which wouldn't, but it's good to know"She replied, "Nothing is going to happen to me, just leave me alone please, good bye"I said to her then left.

After some time, I got to Beatrice's house. I packed my car outside her compound and entered into the house. Just a knock on the door and Beatrice came busting out giving me a hug then a short kiss; after then did we enter inside.
"Ghoss, I had to pack a lot and it has really gotten me really tired"Beatrice exclaimed as she sank into her cushion. "Just take it easy, okay?, I'm really gonna miss you"I said and as I did Beatrice moved to wear I sat and held my hand. " Come on, it's just for a month, I'll be back sooner than you expect, I'm the one who's gonna miss you more if you don't know"She muttered.
"Mmmmmm, okay"I answered her as I took her up and placed her on my laps; She faced me and then it led to a long, slow and passionate kiss.
"I love you Daniel"Beatrice said, "I love you too"I replied.

"I'm really gonna be late for my flight"Beatrice exclaimed on our way to the airport some hours later.
"And who's fault is that?"I asked, "Whatever"She answered, "you're gonna have your beloved Damilola as your company from now on" She added, "ohh please, don't just start"I told her.
She chuckled then said," it's the truth"; Mentioning Damilola's name made her come into my head and my mind drifted off to her. I just shoved off the thought that was coming to my mind; it wasn't a good one.

We got to the airport and then Beatrice got all checked and was about to board the plane.
"It's time to leave, I'll miss you"Beatrice said, "Take care and promise to call me as soon as you get there"I answered, "absolutely"Beatrice replied before she kissed and hugged me then said,"I love you"; "I love you too darling, good bye"I muttered.
Beatrice looked at me one more time and smiled before she walked away.
I waited and watched until the plane took off and then headed home to face the unknown.
