Worlds Apart

Chapter Nineteen

Diana woke up feeling fresh and relaxed. She looked around and smiled sadly, so much for trying to be romantic, she scoffed as she remembered what she had  pictured of their reunion yesterday, only to find that he had already moved on. She hadn't bothered to unpack, she would just shower, take a look around, buy a few things for Phe and Nadia, then return home. This wasn't her home, she was feeling already out of place. She wanted to thank Simon for his help yesterday, she didn't know what she would have done without him. She showered quickly and went out, she exited by the pool side, there was a big guitar shaped pool and a lot of people were swimming, others lounging by the pool side. She walked past the people but a voice stopped her, "Diana," who the heck knew her in this place?  she looked around and smiled when she spotted Simon waving at her excitedly, was this guy six! she smiled and went over, she neared and saw he was seated next to a beautiful blonde lady, Diana concluded immediately that the lady was a nice one, because even without smiling with her lips, her eyes were smiling.

"Hallo there," Diana said as she neared.

"You must be Diana, I'm Melanie, his girlfriend, "

"Honey you are my fiancee," Simon reminded her.

"Whatever," Melanie rolled her eyes.

"So, I should thank you for what you did for me yesterday, I don't know where I would have gone," She turned to Melanie, "Your husband to be is a good man,"

"I know already honey, he's my Mr.Perfect," Melanie replied with a wide smile, earning herself a kiss.

"So, have you decided what you are going to do?" Simon asked and Diana shrugged.

"I'm going back home,"

"What, no you are not," Melanie said, "Woman you have to fight for what belongs to you," Diana nodded as her eyes looked at the hotel exit, she gasped as she saw Neil and Seth coming out while they looked around. 

"What's wrong?" Simon's eyes followed Diana's and settled on the guys, "So, who's Mr.Right?" he asked.

"Lighter skin tone," Diana muttered as her eyes narrowed on Neil, he looked stressed and it looked like they were having an argument.

"I've an idea," Simon started and the two women looked at him.

"It better be good," Melanie cautioned.

"It is, Diana before you decide you wanna go, I think you should find out first if that guy loves you,"

"How?" Diana asked.

"Well, how about we see if he can be jealous, come closure,"

"What, no way," the two women said at the same time.

"Hey, it's not like we gonna kiss," He said then turned to Melanie, "And you, I've eyes only for you, I'm sure you know that,"

The woman agreed reluctantly and Diana hesitantly came closer to Simon, "Now I'm going to pretend I'm whispering something in your ears and you are gonna laugh out loud. okay?" he said and Diana nodded, "And Mel, baby, watch the guy's reaction," He leant forward and told Diana to laugh, she did just that.

"Uh oh, that was enough to attract his attention. honey I can assure you the guy knows even your laugh, and baby, it looks like you are dead," Melanies voice seemed panicked at the end.

******

"It's your damn fault, men, you should have dropped that woman off the moment you saw Diana," Seth complained, he was tired of searching for only one person who might at the moment even be on the next plane back home.

"Shut up fool," Neil growled and looked around the swimming pool area, Sure Diana was here somewhere, she wouldn't have gone too far, "Shoulda told me She was coming,"

"I'm sorry but it's not me who turned tail and ran, you should have been man enough," Seth grumbled.

"Man, don't make me throw you in this water," Neil threatened, shutting Seth up then he heard it. That laugh, he could know that laugh anywhere. "She's here," he said as he looked around.

"Dude I'm done looking, I need to chill," Seth said but Neil didn't here because he was already matching towards a couple and a blonde lady.

Neil marched with determined steps towards the black and white couple that was seated so close to eachother, so close for his liking, "What the hell is going on here?" he became angrier when Diana turned to look at him with a smile and a bored look.

"Honey who's that?" The blonde guy asked looking at Neil from head to toe. Tf?

"Di get up, we are leaving," Neil said but Diana looked the other way.

"Aren't you a perfect work of art," the blonde purred as she got up, "How about me and you leave these two and go have some fun?"

"I want to talk to my girlfriend now," Neil said and bent down holding Diana by her upper arm, He pulled her up as she protested.

"Let go of me, I'm not your girlfriend and I'll never be," Diana said as she finally faced him.

"Hey Mr...." Simon started but Neil cut him off, "One more word from you and I'll break your fucking nose," Neil growled and Simon's eyes widened and he sat down immediately turning to Melanie who chuckled at him, "Let's go, we need to talk," Neil said to Diana.

"I'm not going anywhere with you, not until you apologize to my friend for threatening him,"

"I see you've already made friends, well, I'm sorry I cannot apologize until I talk to my girlfriend," he lifted her up and swung her over his shoulders amidst protests. He didn't say a word even during the elevator ride and when he reached his suit he dropped her on her feet and his head turned suddenly to his right. She had slapped him.

"Don't you ever embarrass me like that again," she screamed at him.

"Baby I..." he started but she cut him off.

"You couldn't stay behind to solve our issues so you decided to come here and Di what, women and beer? Was my sight that disgusting that you had to drown it with that?"

"Baby listen please, I'm sorry okay,"

"No your not," she shouted, "Would I have heard those words if I hadn't come here? I hate you so much Neil for leaving me, for making me feel unfit to take care of my daughter." She cried as she started beating his chest with her fists.

"Baby please," he whispered as he pulled her closer to him despite her struggling, "I'm sorry, please forgive me," He held her even closer as she stopped struggling.

Should she forgive him? hmm
