Love Struck

chapter 6

Their date was going perfectly ,till when one of his call girls came visiting.

He had forgotten to cancel their usual meeting.

"I think I should leave and let you be with your girlfriend", melody said with a trembling voice and sounded really dissapointed.

She hated herself for trying to push the obvious behind all this time. That no matter what she felt for him, he was still a womaniser and that broke her heart.

She ran out of the mansion and asked his driver to take her home.

"What in the devils name did you have to come over for!!!, of all the days to show yourself you chose today, why!!!!",he asked angrily.

The girl feeling very terrified now said, whilst stuttering " I..I.. didn't. .,.you didn't. ..te...tell..me not to come".

He looked at her now, breathing fire.

Then said with a devilish tone in his voice " get the hell out of my house or else I would end your harlot ways with a knife".

Terrified from this outburst she ran as fast has she could on her hills and exited the premises.

Melody woke up the next day, eyes swollen from crying all night.

"It's a good thing claribels not around" she said to herself, "or I could have been tutored all night long, this is why I should never have a boyfriend".

She got into work just in the nick of time.

Tolu being the egotistical man he was, knew when she arrived but didn't call for her.

"After all we are not dating, so I owe her no explanations".

But deep down he really wanted to apologise. A few hours later melody walked into his office and told him about a few new clients who needed their services, in her very business like manner, she showed no emotions neither anger nor dislike.

"It was a mistake", he said.

" I didn't remember to call her off", he sighed, "this explanation isn't making this any better".

He got on his feet then continued " I am trying to change here, and I never meant for yesterday to go the way it did, I never wanted to have a relationship out of this frienship".

Annnoyed by his last statement.

She said "I never told you I was interested in a relationship with you and its no business of mine what you do with your life and I hate to be the one to remind you, this is an office were personal matters are to be dismissed and I am also sorry for my reaction yesterday, so you owe me no apology of any sort", and she walked out of the office.

Tolu felt really stupid now, that was not what he had intended saying, seems like everything was heading the wrong way for him today.

He got out of his car, knocked on the gate of melodies apartment, which was located in omole phase one. 

He had asked his secretary earlier for the address, the secretary did give him a strange look before handing him over the details.

Melody opened the gate and was suprised to see tolu standing there at this  hour of the day.

"What do you want?, this is nine pm and how did you find my house? " she looked at him coldly.

He replied calmly "fair enough this is your domain, so you have every right to question me openly".

she gave a huge sigh and let him in the compound, they walked into the apartment and she closed the door.

"May I", he pointed to the beautiful chair in front of him.

"sure" she replied.

"Your house is beautiful" he commented.

she looked at him impatiently ,"is this what you came to say, if you may know,  I have work to do, which was given to me by you and would very much love to finish up in time" .

He moved uncomfortably on his sit and started talking.

"I am sorry, and dont interrupt me please", he said with his hands put together in a form of plea.

"My speech earlier didn't come out the way it was supposed to and I am here to correct that,  since you have the habit of never letting me finish my statements,  before jumping into conclusions".

"Pls move to the point" she said impatiently with her hands folded.

"Okay, I didn't ever want to have a relationship with anyone due to the hurt from my past affairs, so I decided to be a free man, that was all before I met you", he relaxed now and continued...

"I did realise I had a soft spot for you but I didn't want to accept it and at the same time, also did want it....you are the first girl in years to move me out of my comfort zone and that's a good thing, I plan on changing my ways if given the chance".

After listening to this she said.
"You feel threatened by the prospect of loving another person and you have spent years building up a career in womanising ,how do you expect me to cope with that, I would admit I do have feelings for you but I can't compete with the vast amount of lovers you have. I need to see changes in you before I can accept whatever you want us to be".

Minutes later he gave her a peck on the cheek, before entering his car and drove off, he was going to prove to her he could be a better man, the one she would deserve.

"I do hope you change, cause I know it would break my heart to live seeing you like this".

she made a cup of tea and sat down in the Sitting room, Pondering on how she would feel if he does change for the better, her phone showed ten missed calls.

"Why is my sister calling me this late at night" ,she re-dialed the number and got into a one sided conversation with her bossy elder sister, named bolu.

She was going to have an head ache from all this, her sister was getting married and needed her help and if anyone did know her sister, she asked for help like it was her right.

She got into bed very late and slept like a child.
