CHAPTER 22

MAXINE’S POV

‘You don’t mean that.’ John said.

But the funny part was, I really did mean it. I had warned him not to talk to me while I was still processing what he had told me, and now he’d driven me to make a hasty conclusion. He couldn’t really blame me could he?

‘Yes, I do mean that John.’

‘You’re being unfair Maxine. And you know it. You don’t even know the details of what happened. You don’t know the circumstances as to which it happened. You can’t judge me and sit on your high horse as if I’m the devil. You can’t.’

‘Well I’m sorry but I don’t care.’ I sighed.

‘I didn’t know you were like this Maxine. I thought you were an honest person who actually cared about me and the possibility of us but I guess I was wrong.’

Now I was angry. How dare John stand there and act like he was perfect when he wasn’t? Wasn’t he the one who had cheated on his girlfriend ten times? Wasn’t he the one who had been unfaithful? Did he really think he had the audacity to try and tell ME off for something?’

‘Don’t piss me off John. I’m warning you.’

‘Or what Maxine? What exactly are you going to do?’

This is exactly what I wanted to avoid. I couldn’t tell him anything. I was so angry at him and yet there was nothing I could do about it. I couldn’t slap him or kick him or tell him to get out because he was the boss!

I internally screamed because I was so frustrated, I couldn’t even describe what I was feeling. I really wished that I could explain it to him but he refused to even give me a chance to swallow the information that he had given me and compose words to tell him how I felt about the whole situation. He was rushing me and I didn’t want that. He was bugging me to the maximum and there was nothing I could do about it.

He must have taken my silence as the fact that I was calming down a little when instead I was boiling on the inside.

‘Maxine, all I’m asking is that you hear me out. let me explain myself to you.’

‘John, I want you to leave me alone. Please. Just leave me alone for now.’

For once, he actually decided to comply to my wishes although he didn’t do it quietly. He slammed the door and strutted out like an angry lady making me feel as though he was being a little childish.

I breathed out a massive sigh and laid my head on the table.

I didn’t even get two seconds to myself when the door opened again and Louise walked inside.

‘What the monkeys is going on with you two lovebirds?’

‘I really don’t want to talk about it Loo. Just please don’t make me.’ I groaned.

 I was in no mood to even try and express my feelings or any story concerning my love life. I didn’t want to relive the entire situation, and I certainly didn’t want Louise shouting her head off about what she felt was the right thing to do.

‘You better start opening your mouth and telling me because I plan to stay here till you do.’

At first I thought she would give up because Louise found it so hard to commit to one thing. It was one of the main reasons why she found it hard to stay in a relationship. Louise could literally be with a guy every two weeks. It was mad. Absolutely mad. I was proved wrong, however, when she stayed put in the same place on my chair for almost half an hour. It may not seem like a long time to other people but for Louise, it was something of a miracle.
