Regrets and Mistakes

Chapter 11

Samba's POV
Just as I imagined my day,it was magical,amazing,everything beautiful,but sad as well,he told me about the saddest chapter of his life,all I could do was give him a listening ear,I said nothing about my own life because I did not want him to start pitying me,I wonder what's it like to kiss a boy,I watched his lips part and close when he narrated his sad story,I would have done it I had an idea of how it's done trust me,he is just like me,we both feel trapped in our worlds,we both wish we were born in a different universe,I placed my face in my palms as he explained his story, we found ourselves chatting about cars,apartments and money,funny right? That's just us,or whatever this is. He fixed us something to eat,I wish time would have stopped at that moment I was having so much fun with him in his cabin"you should go" he whispered under his breath like he doesn't want to be heard" kiss me" I said under my breath trying not to be heard as well, his eyes looked down at my lips,chest and finally my eyes,for the first time in my life a man looked at me like I was a woman and not some little girl,the desire he had in his eyes made me feel I had peed in my panties,a feeling I have only read in books,erotic stories to be precise " you are a kid,little,I will not do that to you" the sound of those words cut right through me,my heart dropped in my stomach,I grew thick skin under my feet,I was dying to get up and slam the door,a part of me could not let me move a muscle,what is wrong with me,why do I even care about this man,I just let him,I guess kindness is so rare in my life that I mistake it for desire,I related so much to that saying,I was mad because he refused to kiss me but him calling me a kid was like a torturous reminder that he will never see me as anything else and that broke me completely,I wished to throw a tantrum but that won't help me in any way,I will have to behave very maturely,if I need this man to see me as a woman not a kid" I understand,I'm sorry for asking you to do that " I said with a smile on my face,the shock on his face was evident,I had read his thoughts and acted quite the opposite "friends?" I extended my hand,we shook hands,that sent electricity through my body being the mature young lady I was I acted it did not have an effect on me at all. He smiled at me I could see some relief in his eyes. There was a sound of a vehicle approaching his cabin,we both looked at each other confused,who could come here,Nicolas has no family and the man he is working for could not possibly come here.
Nicolas POV
I immediately realized it was her approaching my house,I have been avoiding her calls,she probably found out where I lived just like she found out about my life,I hate this woman "Nicolas!"she called out,samba looked at me obviously wanting an explanation i gestured her to hide in the bathroom," I know you are in there boy" she banged the door almost breaking my handle" duh! Where else would I be ,I live here" I mocked,I opened the door and she walked in " I did not invite you in you know " she rolled her eyes as she scanned the room clearly admiring my art,lucky enough I had removed the picture I was painting of "her" from the living room," I need new information,I know you found out something boy"
" stop calling me that ma'am" I seriously spoke,she almost chocked on her words," the file,now!" I sighed as I handed it to her,there was some positive news in that file,my boss would have been very happy to see there is progress but this devil he married will not let him have it easy,"good boy,see you " she slid her finger on my table removing dust from it,she mockingly wiped it off on my shirt,this bitch,I hope she trips and falls," who was that" she sipped on some water with a wide smile,obviously amazed at the elegance of Mrs Mweemba and the smell of her perfume "the wife of the man I am working for, it's sort of a long story but I'll tell you about it one day "
I breathed when she raised her hands as a fine sign,she understood I did not want questions at the moment thank Goodness she did not persist "I have to go now" she carried her purse heading to the door" thank you for being here" I waved as she closed the door behind.
Hastings POV
This woman's attitude is beginning to stink,I am trying to help her but she is acting like I touched her ass,how rude? Why I'm I even here,"you really need to heal sis,that cold heart of yours will not help you in any way,I was trying to help you clean your cuts,you broke your bottle with your hands,are you psychic?" My eyes were bloodshot from her treatment, does she have any idea the type of pride I dropped to be here? Why mu sad she be so difficult,she was shocked when I yelled at her,her eyes still dry as the desert,her eyes wondering all over the place,this is serious,whatever this woman is made of it is as hard as a rock.
