Chapter 37
Cushane's pov
My heart felt broken and I prayed it did not work with the man Lamais was on vacation date with, I cried out of hurt frustration two nights straight. I love her, I am going to die if she marries someone other than me. I could hardly keep focus at work and I not looking forward to another court hearing. I am glad the lawyer she recommended was good at her job, though it was costing me a fortune.
I went on TikTok and my heart lurched as a video of Lamais and a man waltzing to Sam Smith's Fire on fire, I was so angry I fling my phone away. I went to lie down with a splitting headache cursing how unfair life is, I toss and turned tormented for the whole night. I wanted so badly to slap the man's hands from off of my woman, that I had to get up and do a thorough workout then shower and get ready for work.
A video posted on the church's page went viral and by the end of the week people were asking to duet it, I put on a brave face and duet the video and to my surprise by the Monday I went to work the video had gone viral. As everyone look at me when I walk back to my office after lunch I begin to dance to the song used on the videos.
I went to court the next day with a serious expression plastered on my face, they lawyer eyed me secretly like a few other women. Who wouldn't want my glorious physique after the way I had flaunted it? I send a text to Lamais before walking into the courtroom with a determination I never had before.
Cushane's pov
I left the phone up to Shanty to deal with, I had thought my shenanigans would be looked down upon instead the video has gone viral. Now Cushane's duet have me wetting my panties, people must think we are both horny and love girating and - I shake my head trying to dispel my thoughts. The interjected quotes I put in my videos was.
Me practicing for when I get married
No I ain't a boring Christian woman
However Cushane made a bold statement with his.
Me practicing for our wedding night and after
All this is hers
Lamais my wife to be
A picture of my engagement ring and then my hand wearing it, followed by photos of him proposing to me among others. I was not showing my face in public for now, him wining up his self was so embarrassing. Everyone was having a field day with it, I could not stand Shanty and Christopher who kept chuckling whenever they were in my presence.
I ask Tishawna to direct the choir practice that evening because I was terrible afraid to face everyone, Christopher went to make sure the church was locked up properly afterwards and I was thankful. He ask about the land beside my home that night and I tell him if he was interested he should clear it and fence it around, we reasoned about his fishing trade and I tell him he can drive the van and that I think it best that he sells in this district and close by as not to draw attention to him. I also offered to ask around for him, our church family and people who came to visit me.
Before going to bed I checked my phone and was surprise to see a text message from Cushane, Shanty respectfully hadn't open it.
We're getting married, we love each other and I see no reason why we shouldn't. We have both suffered enough already, I'm not allowing us to anymore.
Without responding I put my phone on the nightstand and close my eyes, I say my prayer and repeat psalms until I fall asleep.
"Morning Karly," I say seeing her packing ice in their large igloo.
