Relieve me

Chapter 2.ii

Thirty minutes later, I was full, very full. The food, drink and dessert he brought, plus the ice-cream and chocolate bar I stuffed myself with earlier this night. All sum up gives me the belly of a two months pregnant woman. Harold bought us steak, salad with potato fries and a chocolate cake which is favorite. All what I like, to drink he brought a bottle of coke and another of red wine. I saw a green bottle which resembles a champagne bottle in the basket, but I refrain myself from asking him its use and the purpose for its presence. I drank two glasses of red wine, one of coke before I surrendered. I don't want to get drunk, I want to have all my senses while explains to me all this.

Many times I saw him fishing out his phone, to check if there is a new message and type a reply if he found one. I ignored it and continued to talk as if nothing was happening. He shared with me funny stuffs that he encountered during his trip to Asia. I on the other hand shared the ones I faced at the supermarket. Not once did he mention Harvey, nor anything related to her. He did apologies for not calling and texting for a whole week. Of course with my kind and gentle heart I forgave him.

"...mum is very grateful that I find a guy like you, she was worried I will finish my life alone and buried under multiple depts. She wants to invite you for dinner and she told me to ask you when you are free." I said looking at the beautiful cloudless sky waiting for his answer. After few seconds what only came was a brief 'mmm'. I peered at him to look what got him so busy. I found him busy texting to whomever I don't know but I have a good idea. "Harold I am pregnant." Another 'mmm' came out. '...I am going to get married tomorrow with a farmer." Still the same 'mmm'.

We are in the middle of this beautiful scenery and a dinner for two, but mister prefers including a third person which is his phone. I could not help tame the anger swelling back from the pit of my stomach. He finds the person with whom he is speaking more important than what I am saying to him. His soul is elsewhere with some other person, whereas I have a soulless body which is of no use.

"What the heck are you doing?" I snapped at him furiously, he turned his gaze to me as I snatched the stupid phone from his hands. "What are you talking about? I am listening to you." He said his eyes portraying innocence. "Yeah you are right and I am an Angel." I replied sarcasm dripping from my voice. "You see I am right, you are my angel." He replied in that famous seductive tone of his that sends shivers from my spine ascending to my chest making my nipples become erect and descending to my privacy making it itchy and my limbs turning to jelly. Harold Davidson you cocky bastard.

"Stop that immediately because it will not work this time. You clearly find this person with whom you are texting more interesting than me, all evening you were texting. Why did you bring me here when you clearly want to be with her? What is all this? OH hell tell me!" I squeaked out, I can't say scream because I don't know how to. "Calm down I will tell you all." He said in that soft charming voice of his. "I was only checking on Harvey okay? She has a date and she was filling m..." I cut him off, before he finished his sentence. I let out an acid laugh. "So it is her uhh, why not bring her here instead of me uh, if you are so worried about her date going wrong?" "Shih shih calm down, I have no interest in her, and it is you I want." This guy is really taking me for a high class fool.

"Tell me what does this vase means?" I said pointing at the vase of flowers in front of me. This is the only bouquet made up of different flowers and he hasn't given me the meaning with the spider flower I have in my hand. "Calm down let me explain." He instructed calmly, I sat back on the cloth ready to get his explanations. This time I am not going to close my eyes on that issue and let myself being lured by this marvel.

Harold kneel on the cloth, I eyed him with suspicious eyes. Which prank will he play this time? He brought out a familiar fuchsia velvet box in front of me. I gasped in shock at its content. Oh my God, Oh my God is it true? Is it true? I am dreaming! I am dreaming! I can't breathe, I can't breathe. 'Stop repeating your thoughts Sil it is annoying.' This ring is huge, I could not imagine it like this, and it is one word PERFECT. The ring was strew with small diamonds and a huge one lied on top of the assortment. I have never imagine my proposal day, with Harold being the man bent on one knee in front of me. I always thought I will remain single all my life and maybe adopt a child or two to take care of them.
