Regrets and Mistakes

Chapter 20

Samba's POV
With what happened to mom,my worries were on the flight,worried about Nicolas,the man who gave us a ride was so kind enough to wait till the next morning,he even gave me a jacket to keep warm during the night,talk of gentleman,what was really blowing my brains was the hot man at the hospital,the Muna I've known all these years and the one I saw yesterday were two different humans in one body,I have been so busy trying to figure out my own life while processing the information I got from Nicolas,I needed to talk to mom or at least meet that man who claims to be sisters father that way I would confirm everything and see what the next chapter has install for us,the entire drive was quite,we were blocks away from reaching home,the gentleman said bye to me,was kind enough to open the door and waved at me as I ran to the house like a mad woman,I took a quick shower and changed into my black boyfriend shorts and a black T-shirt,I wore my cap and carried my phone which had images of my sisters step mother in it,the thought of my sister being an heiress to a fortune made my stomach dance,I knocked twice on his door before he yelled,come in! Samba? He asked just to be sure. He was clearly anxious about something,I closed the door behind me when I went inside trying to neutralize the nervous wind Inside his cute cabin," I have a meeting with mr mweemba " the juice I crashed came drooling from my mouth,right into the glass. I smiled apologetically before putting it down to put all my focus on him" you are" I asked my face full of concern," it's only right,don't you think " hoping I would tell him something opposite to what he was thinking,a part of him was guilty for keeping his boss in the dark,I just wanted him to be happy not forgetting my own happiness which would be achieved by having a billionaire of a sister" you have not said a word have you" I nodded my head and he smiled. The rest of the day we talked about his childhood,his  sister and what happened to her to be in that condition,his plans,regrets,mistakes,flings and how much he cared about me. We danced,taught me how to paint although I did not learn a thing, I admired how his hands held the brushes,that night he finished the mystery portrait and locked it in his room to dry,the woman in the portrait was his beautiful sister who was being treated at a psychiatric hospital, apparently that's the woman that chuma woman blackmailed him with,I wish he would let me handle her,I would deal with her for putting my mother in that situation I know she caused it although Nicolas thinks I'm exaggerating,I tried to get romantic with him it only ended in him rejecting every advance I made at him. It was getting late,my heart was a little broken," I'm leaving now" he nodded without looking at me causing my stomach turn,why I'm I still expecting more from this man.he has made it so clear but my heart cannot stop but beat for him,how do I prevent myself from gazing at him," wait" my heart sank at his words," you are the best thing that's ever happened to me in this town,your maturity is beyond your age,you are ambitious,funny,smart and my little best friend,I do what I do to protect you,I do not want you to want me because I'm the only one who's taken you seriously your whole life,when you're ready I will know,take care" those words hit every nerve in my body,they were bittersweet,passionate and sad at the same time,my feet froze at the door step,his hands wrapped my waist behind me,his hot breath on my breath,he slowly turned me around touching our lips in the most magical way,it was happening,he was finally treating me like a woman,just not in the way I've seen in the movies,his lips were pressed against mine with no movement at all I tried to open my mouth or feel his inside but I failed,frustrated I pulled away and left,hoping to hear him call my name or run after me. It did not happen,I walked home alone and broken,I threw myself on the bed when I got home,burying my face in the pillow and cried all my pain away.
Muna's POV
He picked me up after 12,we had lunch,and a mini picnic,just to get my mind off things,there was nothing much to do or discuss,I had no idea how to be in a relationship neither did he bother to teach me,I remember lying down on his thighs as we watched the sun set.
Nicolas's POV
After samba had left chuma buzzed my phone like she knew I was going to talk to her husband the next day,I ignored every one of her phone calls,she dropped a ton of messages but I did not respond to any of them,she knew where to find me if she had something to say to me,the urge to paint pushed me to paint samba without showing her face,i Painted a picture of her the day I met her,there was so much detail in the painting that only a true artist would recognize,my heart suddenly skipped when I heard the sound of boots in my leaving room before I could turn around to see who it was,my chest was filled with something,and my blood oozed on to the ground,the late Nicolas.
