Endorsing Unavoidable Passions.

8. Q's but no A's

Mirabelle's POV

We pulled up at the church and the sound of hymnals could be heard at a distance.

Eugene got down and came over to Mimi's side, opened the door and helped her get down. Mimi went a bit ahead and I also proceeded to get down. My face was straight and I avoided his gaze as I paced one foot on the ground.

I was about to add the other but I had to grab my clutch. Absentmindedly, I got down and screamed for a few micro seconds and tripped.

It wasn't an accident because Eugene caused it and the next moment I was in his arms.

"Oh dear! What happened!"

"Nothing Mimi, I'm fine." I told her before I glared at Eugene as he helped me to stand up right.

"Really? Oh I see. let me leave before you two make me late." Then she left me with the jerk.

"Are you okay?" He asked, obviously amused and my glare intensified.

"After you tried to kill me?"

"No one forced you to put on a four- inched heel."

"For the record, its five inches-"

"Doesn't make you any taller."

"Whatever, but you're the one who tripped me for God knows why. What the hell was that?"

"I do what I want." He shrugged and i rolled my eyes as he shut the door and locked it with the key.

"Looks like you didn't come along with your girlfriend."

"Dont get comfortable with me."

"I'm not, I just—"

"It's none of your business. "

"Stop doing that! Its rude—"

"I dont care." he did it again and started to ealk way.

Ugh—

Eugene and I sat next to each other whiles Mimi was among the choiristers.

We were among those in the middle pew and we hadn't spoken to each other since the trip incident.

My only issue was the fact that he was using his phone while the preacher was talking.

"You know that's wrong, right?"

"I didn't ask you." He seethed.

"I know. But reverence to God." I added. He scoffed and turnd it off, looking ahead and I was a bit surprised. "For a moment I thought you were atheist." I smiled and he didnt respond as the service went on.

"Adultery begins in the heart..." He went on. "Any man who looks at a woman lustfully has already commited adultery with her in his heart.  His discples asked him if they.."

"Stop sleeping," Eugene whispered poking my arm.

"I'm not sleeping, and don't touch me." I looked up eyeing him and he just smiled in that stupid lopsided manner.

"You're still mad?" he chuckled.

"I refuse to mind you." With that I didnt say anything to him and the sermon went on and it ended. After service, people started moving about about talking to each other. A group of middle aged men approached us and started talking to us.

"Is that you? Eugene?"

"Yes, Mr. Tomlin." Mr. Tomlin was a stout man, a bit bald and he had a cheerful look on. I used to see him around on previous Sundays but I never really took note of who he was.

"Your mother just told me you're back..whos this young lady hiding behind you?" he asked and the group looked at me.

"She's my fiancée," he blurted and my eyes widened .

I was going to kill this mo'effer!

"Oh really?"

"Uh, yeah, babe, let me introduce you." he held my and moved me to his side . I remained speechless as I plotted to many ways I wanted to have him dead. what the heck was he doing?! 

"So..how long have you two been together?"

"Oh..about six months" He answered smiling.

He even the audacity to smile!

"So whens the wedding coming? I hope I'm invited."

"Don't worry sir, well let you know, and of course, you'll be cordially invited." I said before Euegene could respond something like tomorrow.

"Alrright. nice seeing you again, well talk."

When  that was over with, Eugene slung his arm around my shoulder gently and we left looking for Mimi.

"Take off your hand."

"Else?"

"Ill bite you."

"Go ahead and mess up the make up you put on for me." he smirked and I biffed him a his side.

"You're so delusional that it's very annoying." I narrowed my eyes at him and he chuckled. We found Mimi but she said she has a choir meeting and practice afterwards so Eugene and I had to go back alone.

I didnt argue because I wanted us to be alone so that I could yell at him. We got to the parking lot, I moved quickly and stood in fron of him.

"Mister, what the heck was that?" I asked feeling my face getting hiot with anger.

"What do you mean?" He asked and I scoffed.

"I'm not an object that you can just treat anyonhow you like okay? really hate that. Why the hell did you say that?" Annoyingly, he didnt respond, he just stared down at me. "I'm asking you a question." I hissed. 

"Okay, be like that then!" I scoffed. I was so angry that I decided to NOT go back with him. I searched my clutch for my phone and when I couldnt find it, I turned to him.

"Are you looking for this?"  he removed my phone from his pocket.

Ugh-

***

"I hate you."

"I'm aware, likewise."

"You know, you're such a douche for cheating on your girfriend."

"I'm not cheating on anyone."

"You are!"

"Did I mention I had a girlfriend."

"Either way youre messing with her."

"I'm not messing with anyone."

"Youre messing with me."

"You're not my girlfriend." he stated and I frowned giving him a questioning loook.

"So why did you lie to Mr. Tomlin?" I asked.

"You talk to much, cale-se."

"Te odeio." I responded.

"Okay."

"What did I ever do to you?" I asked as tears glazed over my eyes. He glanced at me and groaned looking ahead with his jaw clenching.

He pulled up in front of the house and leaned his head back on the seat.

"I can't believe you don't remember." He muttered.

"Remember what? What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Get out." He seethed and I flinched. How much did he hate me to the extent that he didn't even care about the tears rolling down my face?

Without another word I got down and he quickly drove away.
