Breaking rules

Kelvin guy

Once asked "With all the success in your life,why are you not married?"
My answer, '' By choice,"

That's Brenda displayed above.....
****

When i was 14, i made a vow to my mother. That i would only marry the woman she approved off. Now at the age of 32, i still am single.

My mom never found any of the women i brought home worthy to be her daughter-in-law. And that was why i became a bachelor by choice. None of the women i met ever made me want to settle down and have a normal life where we'd get married in a church and later on have babies.

Brenda was a first. The moment i saw her i knew that she was the one. I had to have her as my own. That's why i made a vow after having dinner with her that i'd make her mine. All i had to do was be the ideal man for her.

On a Friday i decided to start work on getting her to see me more than just a friend and business partner. I took her out to an expensive club located outside the city.

"You having fun?" she asks shouting a bit over the loud music. She looks so relaxed. Her guard is down for once. She hasn't stopped dancing all night.

On arrival every guy in the club had stopped what they were doing to drool at her sight. She had worn a black dress which left her back bare to the point just above her sexy ass. Her hair which had grown longer over the weeks had been curled up and she wore no make up except for lip gloss. The only jewellery she had were the diamond earrings she had and her pink watch. She carried with her a pink clutch bag which she paired with pink strap heels that boosted her height.

"Earth to Kelvin," she says cutting my thoughts short. "I am having fun too," i reply pulling one of my charming smiles on her. She smiles back and disappears again into the crowd of people dancing. I manage to catch a glimpse of her again grinding some overly intoxicated young guy. He seemed to be in his early twenties,at most twenty five. Brenda danced a lot more the whole night and i couldn't help but feel jealous when she the young guy started flirting with her. The next thing i knew was they were kissing each other roughly and passionately. The young lad held her to himself like she was hers. I lost my self in fury and that's why i was shocked to find myself waking up in a cell.

"Why am i here?" thats the first thing i asked. The officer in charge explained to me how i got into a brawl with a different guy and ended up beating the person almost to death.

Ok,so maybe i might have beaten up someone,but still..this is Kenya for fucks sake!

The only thing on my mind now was Brenda. Was she ok? Hope she is safe. Did i ruin my chances with her? I leaned into the cold wall,i felt a sting of pain as my bruised cheek came into contact with the wall. Clearly nothing was alright.

I was in deep thought when i heard my name being called out. Someone had come to my aid.

All i wanted now was a warm birth and a change of clothes so that i'd stop smelling like this cell.

"Kelvin," came a worried voice as i made my way out.

I turned around to look at her. There she was in grey sweatpants,purple vest and a black hoodie which she matched with white sneakers. Her hair was a tangled mess and her eyes held deep concern.

"Brenda,thank the heavens you are alright," i said releasing a sigh of relief.

"I..we need to get going," she said quickly.

The ride to my place was silent apart from me giving her directions. When we got there she explained to me that my car would be brought over later and also asked me to have a rest. I slipped out of her car not daring to glance back at her. This Brenda was different. She couldn't look me in the eye and she kept away from my touch. I turned back to see her driving away as she used the back of her hand to wipe some tears?
Why was she crying? That was the question that lingered in my mind all day.
