THE ONE

chapter 8

ARMANDO POV

I heard a knock on my door once decided to ignore it , whoever it was could just go , i was not in the mood to see anyone , the knock came again and it sounded urgent ,i sighed and hollered a 'come in'

The person entered revealing my mum dressed in expensive dress , i forced myself not to roll my eyes ,i loved my mum dearly , she and my brother were all i had as family after my dad died.

"Oh baby please you don't have to wallow here" she said to me as she walked up to me in the bed, she down by side and touch my cheeks softly. i melted at that , sue me i was a mummy boy .but i was not going to give into her " no mother please i just need alone time for now "

"At least come down for breakfast please "she pleaded with me, i just could not resist now .

" ok mother , i will come downstairs just give me a few minutes to change " i told her as i got up from bed, she kissed my cheeks and went out from the room . i went into my bathroom to freshen up , after that i went into my walk in closet and pick out a simple yet expensive shirt and dark jeans and went downstairs.

On getting downstairs my mum and brother were already , my brother marco was the my younger brother ,we are like twins because we look so much alike but have different personalities , he was the player while i was a lover boy . i walked to the dinner table and pulled out a seat beside marco.

" hello bro when did you get back from new York" i asked marco who was sipping his coffee , he dropped his cup smiling lightly

" well it was fun actually i enjoyed myself until i was confronted by a dazzling beauty who mistook me for you ,now am very sure you must have had something to do with her she was shock and to look at the ways she came up at me , she didn't like you " he finished , the whole room was quite now , i was stunned at what i had just heard , who could possibly have know me , i didn't meet any new girl in new York after my major break up with my ex fiancée .

" that is impossible didn't meet any new girl after the accident and the breakup" i was still thinking , my mother had stopped eating , she was looking at me now . i was really getting nervous.

" i know what am talking about bro she clearly said 'Armando wha tare you doing here are you stalking me how did youget in' he said in a girly mimicked way , it was kind of funny , my mother giggled a little.

" ok what did she look like " i asked

" well she was really beautiful in fact too beautiful , if i were to marry her i won't let her out my site, she was tall had blonde hair and wow such bright green eyes " i looked at him as he said it dreamily

I tried to think about it the only girl who popping into my mind was the beauty at the hospital, but, am not so sure she could have been at such an elite wedding yes doctor fernada had the exact description that marco was telling me now .

"Ok what was her name "

"Bro i was stunned when she won't tell me her name, i mean that was the first time i had been turned down like that, it was humiliating "she said in a angry tone. i laughed at this so did my mother who had not said anything in the matter .

"Oh sorry bro that she didn't give you her name am very sure she must have really bruised your player ego" chuckling at him, he gave me a dirty glare; i rolled my eyes at him. I turned to my mother who had cleared her throat now to speak.

"Am sure it was really coincidence, let just drop it since you Armando don't remember any girl "she turned to me, i nodded at true and the only person i thought of could not have been the one am sure about that .she turned to marco now "and you don't know her name so please let's just have breakfast in peace and get on with our daily business "she finished, we both didn't say anything.

After breakfast i went up back to my room , i was going to the office today i was not ready to face my ex yet i wanted sometime to gather myself and to show her she could not affect me in the way she did .

My ex zoila , a pretty tall dark hair girl, i fell for her the moment i saw walking to her place of work , a small cafe , i had immediately told my driver to pulled over at the cafe and i went inside to invite her to dinner , too soon know but i was really drawn to her . At first she played hard to get but eventually wow her over and we finally went to dinner .we clicked after that i offered her a job in the company which she accepted immediately since she was the breadwinner of her family . i introduced her to my mother after four months of dating , at first my mum didn't really like her , she said there was something off about her , but tolerated her because of me . after about a year of dating i purposed to her , she took me to her house and introduce me to her parents , they were happy to see me i thought, soon that very day i was to spend the night at the hotel but her family me to spend it there since we were all going to be family soon , i accepted . that night i went back to the hotel to get some of my stuff need for the night , on getting back i entered the house , zoila parents were asleep now , and she was nowhere to be found , so i went to the back to check for her after looking inside the house , i didn't want to raise alarm . Opening the back door i saw her with another boy, they jumped in shock when they saw me, they were not doing anything but something didn't tell well about this .

She later then had told me that he was her childhood friend that they had only been shocked when because they were not expecting anyone , and she only told him that she was getting married , i dropped the issue after that i didn't want to fused over any false claim or to make her unhappy .

My phone rang completely removing my mind from the flashback, i picked it up, and it was my best friend Pedro .

" hey man , i haven't seen you these days , " he sounded really happy

" am sorry have a lot on my plate " i needed to escaped this

" yeah i know , Marco told me what happened and then you had a minor accident bro you had it bad , " i rolled my eyes, i dint want anyone knowing about that , but he was my best friend after all , " yeah but please don't tell anyone about that please " i pleaded because that was all i could do now , plead because i know Pedro

" ok i won't , but you have to come out tonight , no escaping from this , i will pick you up by 7pm sharp, be ready by then bye "and then he hanged up , i just stared at my phone dis believing , Pedro really had his ways of giving instructions ,and i dear not miss this , or gosh i don't want to know what he will do to me . i really a guys night out, i needed to drink and get my head off my heartbreak , maybe this was what i needed
