In Love With The Heiress

Chapter 8

"Jacob how did you get into her brain and mess everything up?" Razaq was as surprised as Jacob was when Aisha had told the talk show host about her intentions to open a garden resort which she would name JC/Aisha garden resorts.

"She wants to make it official, Razaq."
"You mean like proclaim to the world that you are her man?" Jacob nodded.
"She doesn't want to believe that I meant what I said."

"So what are you going to do?" Razaq asked. Jacob was sure Aisha was playing some kind of game. She was seeking his attention because she wanted to understand why he had dumped her. But she was doing it in a way that it had never been done before.

"Razaq, it's like she wants to build her life around me, us to be precise."

"So if it's not you, then it's no other guy."
'"It's like she's telling me, I found the man I want to spend the rest of my life with and...."
"And with him I can build empires." Razaq added. Jacob got up worried that Aisha was crossing a boundary that he had set for himself.

"Where are you going now?" Asked Razaq.
"I've got to find her."
"Ehm and where exactly?" Jacob walked up to the front door and opened it.

"Give me update on her position. I'm going out." Jacob got into his car and drove out with no fixed destination except to wait for Razaq's feedback. While driving he kept thinking about Aisha and what she was up to.

"Aisha, who is JC? And why are you parading those initials to the extent of attaching them to your name?" Asked Fiona the minute she saw the interview on TV. She was with Fatiha and they were shocked that the initials JC had popped up a second time.

"I'm a creative, I love creating something out of nothing." She replied, the minute she came out of the studio interview. She got into the back seat of the car that had brought her for the interview as she kept talking to her friends through video call.

"So first you brought JC onto Instagram. And then you went on the Okonji talk show and mentioned it?" Asked Fatiha.

"Look girls, I'm feeling a transformation that I have never felt before. I'm my happiest and am only celebrating this good moment."

"So JC is the key to that transformation abi?" Asked Fatiha somewhat disappointed.
"Girls look, sometimes life presents you with negatives. I mean, things that you don't want. But by accepting them good things can come out of them."

"Wait, o." Said Fatiha, " isn't JC the same guy in the three piece suit."

"You mean the guy she denied she didn't invite to the club?" Asked Fiona.
"And who else could it be, Fiona?" Asked Fatiha.

"Look girls I had an interesting conversation with him and..." Aisha paused to think of what to say.

"And what did he tell you?" Insisted Fatiha.
"I mean, he seemed like an interesting guy. In fact I felt pity for him when he said he was lonely." Aisha's two friends rolled their eyes, disappointed in her for not being sincere with them.
"Aisha is it not the same guy that told you goodbye? Who literally dumped you?" Asked Fiona.
"Well, I had a feeling he was too afraid to think right. I mean with all the bodyguards around."
"What? Oh my God, Aisha!" Shouted Fatiha, "what has this guy done to your brain?"
"Ah, na dat one you dey ask?" Said Fiona," Maybe he has settled her fine so her body dey shak am now."

"You girls are really funny o." Said Aisha. "Just look at the way you people reason."
"For somebody who might even be in a gang or is outright a criminal? Is that the person you are dedicating your bra and naming a business after? What next, Aisha?" Asked Fatiha.

"Next she will tattoo JC on her shoulders." Fiona said.

"Abi, o." Remarked Fatiha. Aisha had had enough of her friends but felt she had to tell them what really happened.
