...TWENTY SIX...
Somewhere, a night bird cried out quite eerily.
She shook the glass in her hands gently, musing, causing the golden yellow liquid abiding in it to twirl softly.
She took a sip out of the glass and sighed loudly.
The fruit juice tasted bland in her mouth despite the fact that it was her favorite flavour, citrus mix.
It was about twenty five minutes past midnight and yet she was still up.
She had no idea why she couldn’t sleep. Scrap that, completely.
She knew why, definitely did but was unwilling to admit it.
Her unsettling insomnia was the result of several factors.
There was tension; anxiety, nervousness, angst, apprehension, foreboding and the fear of the unknown inclusive, all were in gratitude to her upcoming date with Clement the next day –that was today as it was after midnight already.
She knew why this emotions plagued her desperately, threatening to choke life out of her.
She loved him, loved Clement and she knew what dinner on a yacht is supposed to mean.
She was ready, bodily, and emotionally but not ready psychologically.
She kept telling herself that she had nothing to fear.
He wasn’t her father, the Nwabuagu tiger.
He was not one of her three exes, John, Collins and Chima.
Clement loved her.
Well, the others had claimed to love her too until they had seen, beheld all that was her, her true form, unlovable, repulsing, twisted and void.
What made Clement different?
She couldn’t find a solid reason to set him apart from his predecessors.
They all pursued her relentlessly, tirelessly, claiming to want her, desire her.
They all made her theirs, later falling in love with her, building and planning a future with her.
Then, they all fell out of love with her when they saw the truth of her form.
Tears slipped down her eyes.
The first time, with John, she had been devastated when he had rejected her, disgust on his face.
It had taken a while for her to recover.
She had been nineteen then.
Then, Collins had fallen into her life and swept her up in a whirlwind of passion, giving her temporary relief from John.
But, she had been on her guard.
She was glad she had for Collins disappointed her like John.
The difference was that she had been prepared and it made the occurrence less painful.
Chima was no different, more vehement than the rest in his pursuit of her, hot on her heels, claiming that nothing would part them if she became his.
