...."Is that guy who treats you like trash really better than me or are you willing to forever remain ignorant until you get hospitalized for his sake?".His eyes burned in anger, he had told himself to handle this rationally, but the words that came...
He placed the phone down after ending the call, my grip around his waist tightened from excitement.
ELIJAH'S POV....
I'll need to tell her somehow, now she's happy and all, it's a good time.
"I heard about an investment offer at some company, the returns rate are quite assuring
If I can invest in the business, in a few months we'll be able to have a nice wedding
I want to get you a very nice dress, although you don't have any friends I want all the guests to envy you".
*Scoff....
Wedding?, I don't plan on doing that, I need to keep you by my side for a long time or else my financial status will completely wither.
Once I have enough money, I can attract a lot of friends and girls, people will envy me.
Maybe a few more years THEN we can get married.
"How much do you need?". Hearing that, it means she was completely convinced - I smiled.
"Maybe 500 thousand-"
"500 thousand?! That's too much-"
"How about 50 thousand, you don't need to worry about anything, the company won't fold and even if they do we have an insurance coverage with them."
I explained, making it seem I did a lot of research, if I don't get the money those men at the bar will kill me.
"I'm not sure I have that much too, give me sometime, if I save enough money I should be able to get it in a few months
you still have access to the account right? Check if it's enough and withdraw the money you need".
Such a foolish and gullible woman. She doesn't even have the money, but because I said so, she's willing to sacrifice for me
I'm too lucky.
"Thanks babe, I knew I could count on you for help". I pecked her cheek with a smile and she smiled back.
"One more thing ". I added.
"What's that?".
"My friend's dad is hosting a party two weeks from now, so get a nice dress for yourself, we'll be attending the party.... together....as a couple."
TWO WEEKS LATER.... SAMANTHA'S POV....
I stared at my phone again, scrolling up and down my call log and message bar- nothing
"It's been two weeks, no calls no text messages, nothing from him".
I'm a bit disappointed, was I too harsh, even still, two weeks is too much...
Does he hate me now?... *Sigh. This was a really good job, I just can't lose it, should I call him instead?
No, I told him if he needed anything he should call first, if I call now I'd only be making a fool out of myself. Maybe he doesn't have anything for me to do.
I put the phone down and stared at my reflection on the mirror- what the f*** is wrong with this dress.
Too revealing.
Why does Elijah want me to wear this to an elder's birthday, the fact that the party is fixed at night is uncomfortable enough.

Stupid slit.
Well I shouldn't complain, at least we're going together.
AT THE PARTY...
Together?!... He's not even here
I rolled my eyes and swirled the glass of wine between my fingers.
I don't buy the idea of drinking in public.
I lifted my head up from the drink and observed the brightly lit hall.
This would've been okay except this is in no way a birthday party for an elder.
So many disco lights and loud music, there are more youngsters here than there is any adult.
I feel so uncomfortable.
Elijah and I arrived here together - true.
Then he scurried off somewhere to talk to friends, it's been almost an hour.
He has moved from the arms of almost all the girls present, does he accept the hands of just anyone?
I feel stupid and useless sitting on this stool bored to death.....
".....awww, he was my favorite celebrity, who knew he'd do something like that".
I heard a young girl beside me say, I turned my head to the direction of where she and her friends were sitting, they were so engrossed in the phone in the girl's hands.
".... international husband my foot, he disgusts me, I want all the love I wasted on him back".
Another girl said annoyed.
"These public figures can no longer be trusted these days, he should retire cos no one will give him any project anymore".
I turned my head away from them and looked at the deserts in front of me, I can eat something right?- I'm starving.
Where is this birthday person anyway, we've been waiting more than an hour-shit I'm beginning to feel pressed.
Where is Elijah?- shit I need to pee.
I grabbed my purse and walked away from the table hurriedly, I didn't look where I was going until I hit someone, it was the girl from earlier, I noticed I knocked down her phone.
"I'm so sorry". I apologized squatting down to pick the phone, when I turned the screen, it was a news headline that was on.
I was about to give the phone to her when something caught my eye.
- TOP ACTOR'S CAREER; NICHOLAS N. PHILIPS HITS ROCK BOTTOM FOLLOWING SCANDAL- He sleeps with his female co stars.
.....Despite confessions that these accusations were false from competitor company- Starlyke.
It will be difficult for the young actor to bounce back to his feet, he may not have any more projects and may be forced to retire.......
Firnah entertainment has sued Starlyke for toying with their young actors career..........
"Ma'am, can I have my phone back". I lifted my head from the phone when I remembered this wasn't my phone.
The shock was still clearly written on my face but I couldn't help but return the phone to the girl.
"Sorry." I said passing the phone to her, she nodded and left.
He's an actor?- no that's not important... 'He sleeps with his female co stars?' -That can't be right.
They already confessed so why does he have to retire.
His shyness when he gave me that frog thing and his clumsiness, he's obviously not the type.
why would they do that.
I wonder how he must be feeling, who even cooked for him during the heat of the matter, how.....
I need to go see him......TBC
