Hadyn took Lucia through to the lounge but he was not happy. He sat opposite her. "How have you been?." She asked him.
"Busy...
"I'm sorry about earlier... I didn't know that was your niece...
no, instead you're just gonna keep thinking that I'm fucking every girl you see, or you're gonna listen to every single bitch out there, that got something to say about me without asking me first.." he said to her.
"Look.. all of this is new to me, I've never been in a proper relationship since college... And those relationships were fucked up in fact they weren't even real relationships... I don't trust men very easily because of the way I was treated at college... So when I have a girl coming up to my face angry with me... like angry telling me that she's gonna whoop my ass because I'm fucking her man... How do you think that I'm supposed to take that?.."
"Okay, I hear that.. but that is where you show some common decency to me and come and ask me." He said. " I didn't want to give you space but I gave you space because I just wanted you to think things through and I was hoping you were just gonna come back to me.... but two weeks later you haven't even picked up the phone you haven't sent me a text, you have done nothing to make me feel like you wanna be with me..." he paused. "so I'm going to ask you... Do you wanna be with me Lucia?."
"Before I answer that... I need you to tell me more so that I am not so in the dark about you."
"what do you mean?" He asked her with his brow furrowed.
"That same night everyone was telling me about my man being involved with models and celebrities... I was just silent... everyone knew so much more about you than me yet I was the one who was supposed to be with you.." she said.
"Aite, what do you want to know?." He asked her.
"Who you've dated, why they didn't work, how long...
He took a deep breath. "Aite, well after my wife died, I kinda went on a rebound thing... I needed to fuck my feelings out... so I started getting heavily involved with socialites, influencers, tv stars... but I don't need to reel off names cos none of it meant anything to me... it was a place I was in in my head... I got a lil closer to one girl. She's a lingerie model, but it didn't last more than a couple of months cos she was jumping from dick to dick I found out later..."
Lucia looked at him.
"The reason that I didn't go into detail is because not one of those girls were relevant to me and my feelings for you... The only person who meant anything to me was my wife... she was my world.. and I miss her every day....""My past is nothing like yours.. I'm quiet, I like the quiet life... I like tv and books... I don't show out and I don't act out... I don't give my heart away very easily... and to know you've had so many partners... makes me feel inferior.. like how am I supposed to compete with bikini models, socialites and stars...
