Chapter FORTY ONE

(LARONA'S POV)

It was late at night and I could hear Olerato coming inside the house. She seemed off which made me wonder if her day wasn't as good as she expected.
"Is mom and dad already sleeping?" she asked immediately which I confirmed it to her. "okay well Sesi(sister) someone is asking to see you and he is not Dean." she informs me.

I was immediately surprised from hearing what she just said and then I asked her who was looking for me at this odd time.

"he wouldn't tell me his name but he surely has an attitude for a charming man." Olerato tells me. I wasn't entirely sure of who she might be referring to, but I asked her to look out for me until I come back home.

I wore my fluffy violet gown for warmth and quietly went outside of the house. I saw a familiar car that I've noticed earlier today and as soon as i walked closer to it. A tall muscular figure steps outside of the car. My body froze in realizing who it was.

"Princess." he greets me with his attractive voice and we've locked eyes to each other from a short distance. I didn't know how to react in this exact moment. Without thinking, I ran up to him and gave him a long hug.

We hugged each other for so long that breaking away from this hug felt like we're breaking our own hearts. His arms firmly holds my body and my arms were around his broad shoulders. "How did you find me?" I whispered to him and he jokingly said "I had to beg your best friend until she got tired of me." Once we stopped hugging, we both got inside his car.

"Have you been drinking beer?" I asked him. He looked at me with guilt and it confirmed my question. "I maybe drunk right now but Larona why did you leave me? I can understand the whole situation with Dean, it was indeed out of control but why didn't you come to me instead of leaving?" Zain became sad when he asked this question which  made me feel more emotional.

" I thought leaving the Western Cape province would restore peace in my life. I didn't know if what we had was truly meaningful or our recent feelings weren't solid enough to have a real relationship." I softly confessed to him. "You sounded certain when you said that you love me and i said it back too." he said while looking at my face. I kept quiet and then he continued to speak.
"Both of us knew what we were doing."

I began to interject from his last sentence by saying, "We fucked a lot from having fun. In the beginning you mentioned that you love complicated things so right now, our situation has turned too complicated for it to be simplified."
"That's bullshit Larona and you know better than that." he responded.

"Well, what else can I say apart from acknowledging that our fling had turned into a messy conflict with Dean which he ended up burning your business building and my house." I sternly reminded him.

"Either way, you should've came to me for protection instead of running away Larona. If you think I will allow Dean's mess to end what we have then just know that I won't accept it." he sternly back chats to me.

"So you basically want this shit to be more dangerous and deadly than it already is right now? I cannot believe what I'm hearing from you Zain. I don't know about you but I have a lot to lose for Dean to carry on this way while making my life like hell. I cannot continue being with you anymore Zain. Besides, I still don't know how he found out about us but clearly his discovery caused chaos. " I said to him.

" I told him about us and I've warned him to back off.
At first it was really fun being the side nigga but shit has changed.
I mean who am I to treat a nicest pussy that has a pretty soul with some juicy ass like it's something I can get elsewhere quickly?
The problem with you is that you don't truly understand how much I feel you whenever we fuck.
It's more than just fucking you Larona, something magical always happens whenever we feel each other's skin while we're at it.
I've always felt like my soul fell in love with you before I consciously knew it.  You chose me but here you are in your hometown hiding yourself from another man.
What hurts me the most from this, is realizing that you don't trust me to be man enough for guarding your safety."

When Zain disclosed what he had done, I turned to him and automatically slapped his face. He was taken a back from my reaction and I had this to say to him,

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!!? You fucking told him without being considerate of how my life will be affected!!
I've lost my house, my books, and the things I loved all because of your big ass mouth ZAIN!!
This drama cost me to come back home and earn less money.
I was on my way to get ahead of my career goals and you fucking ruined it for me. "

"Basically, you would rather endure that asshole's manipulation, harassment and abuse for the sake of self empowerment!!!? In all honesty, I hate it when you think like a bitch!!" Zain suddenly shouted at me which made me flinch. 
We had a moment of silence and I secretly touched my stomach for comfort. Zain took his time to calm down and then turns to me.

"I apologize for shouting. I just don't want to lose you Larona. Don't get it twisted though, I mean every word I said but at the end of it all, I genuinely miss us." Zain softly said while he places  his one hand on my thigh.

I look back at him and then suddenly the urge of feeling like I'm about to vomit kicked in. Zain carefully looks at my sudden move and when I opened my side of a car door to start vomiting on the ground, he immediately holds my hair while encourages me to let it all out.
At this point he was deeply concerned about what's happening with me.  He eventually starts to offer to take me to a hospital however, I refused it.
