CHAPTER 24

                    Chapter 24

Cushane's pov

"Hey baby, why did you tell the wedding planner to hold off a bit?" I call and ask Lamais.

"We'll decide about everything together after service on Sunday," she reply curtly.

"Okay, so why is she still calling me? Okay I'll let her know" I said feeling relieved at her response.

The call ends and I get back to work, she had rejected my visit twice so I better just chill and wait until we can spend sometime together on Sunday. I was not looking forward to church service if Nicole is going to be there again, can't she find someone else to cool her desires for her? I ask in my mind then took a deep breath and continue to do my work.

I was in an undecided state on attending church service this Sunday morning, I am afraid of lying to Lamais and I think of every possible excuse to skip service and just meet with her afterwards. After deciding that it would look weird I drive slowly there hoping the demon went to her church today. I park on the curb over by Lamais's yard gate and spent a good fifteen minutes looking inside my car bonnet, church was well underway and I didn't see Nicole come, hopefully she isn't inside.

I walk briskly into the church yard greeting Shanty with a nod by the door and going inside, I groan inwardly seeing Nicole and made a bee line to the opposite side. I was sorry the church hadn't more people and I wanted to curse and cry at the same time. I and Lamais's wedding will be announced this week, why does Nicole leave her church to come here?

Lamais was looking down at me as everyone stands for the reading of the scripture, I drop my gaze glad for the excuse of looking for the scripture in my bible. I could feel someone looking at me and I look over to see Nicole staring at me, I glance away quickly with a nasty hiss of my teeth. I could not focus on what was being preach by the visiting Pastor and it made me feel bad, I am going to tell her not to come back here I think angrily seething with rage, I took up my bible to leave quickly through the door as the service ended but Shanty directs me into Lamais's office.

I was nervous the whole time and hope Nicole leaves before I came out, because it was unusual for Shanty to direct me here. Lamais came in and directed her gaze at me, I look away and-

"Look at me!" She says and my gaze immediately flew back to hers at the tone of her voice.

I looked away again quickly realizing she was reading me, her hand came flying with a hard slap across my cheek. I knew instantly that it was because of Nicole as I saw the pain in her eyes, I touch my cheek as she stood over me looking at me with a deep anger and hurt.

"I can explain," I tell her softly hearing voices outside the door.

The door was knocked and she walk over to open it, my face stung and I hiss and stood up on seeing Nicole entering. I look at her with open hatred as Bro. Kirkland and Sis. Roper enters the office, she had no idea what she has done to me and more so Lamais. I glance at Lamais's left hand and didn't see the engagement ring, I wanted to shout all kinds of insult a-

"Bro. Callaghan, you have been made aware of the rules of the church regarding principle discipline and conduct, our sister in Christ, Nicole here has claim to be pregnant with child for you and it has been brought to the church's attention. In light of what she has told our Bishop we as the head of the church would like to hear what you have to say in order to proceed in giving proper advice and taking action," I allowed what Bro. Kirkland tells me to digest before speaking.
