I swallowed my spit hard.
"Bandz can we talk about this."
He looked furious. He stood up,his big body overshadowing me."Bandz, please."
"What is this?"
"I have been meaning to tell you."
"Tell me what? That your boss is buying you expensive gifts? No wait. A RING!"
"Bandz..." I swallowed my spit.
"Tell me Gwendolyn what exactly is going on between you and this man?"I started crying really hard.
"Bandz I love you. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please understand baby." I pleaded with tears in my eyes.
"What is this man to you Gwen!!! Is he your sugar daddy?"I fell to my knees with my face wet from crying.
"He's my..."
"Your what!"
"He's my...he's my...we are getting married."The words were out...there was painful silence in the room. I watched as Bandz fell to sit on the bed hopelessly.
"Baby please , I'm begging you." I was on my knees pleading.
He didn't want to hear anything.I tried to hold onto his pants but he pushed me away.
"Bandz I'm so sorry." I cried.John ran in "What's going on?"
"John, please explain to Bandz."Bandz chimed in "Oh? There is an explanation to this? What logical explanation is there to this? My fiancé is a fiancé to someone else! How do you explain that? How Gwendolyn?"
"You just haven't been giving me attention. He's been paying mind to me."
"Oh? So you go behind my back instead of talking to me about it?"
"I tried I tried."
"Don't lie! Ever since you got this job I've been watching you go in and out with this man. Gwendolyn I've been watching him. The way you guys look at each other. The way you have been glowing. Clearly he is all you want. What, is it because he has money? Is it? Is that all it took for you to make such a decision? Money? I know I wasn't perfect, I'm not rich but I'm crazy about you, man. I'd die for you." he sobbed and fell to his knees to my level.The pain shot through my heart. My man was weakened. He was defeated,in pain. He was broken.
"I'm sorry." Is all I could say with tears on my face.
He continued sobbing.
"I will come and get my things tomorrow. I will sleep out if it makes you feel better." I sniffed and got up.I went to our room and packed my suitcase. Just as I was about to leave the room, grandmama walked so slowly towards me.
We stared at each other. I couldn't say anything to her. I didn't know what to say so I looked down and left. John followed me to the car. I put my suitcase in the boot and he opened the door for me. Within a few seconds, we were gone. Out of the area. Off to where my new life was starting.
