Blurb:
Love is the trickiest, best but never understood feeling. Zaria knew that before she got into a relationship with david. Now that she's fallen deep, she finds out that he had lied to her about something serious.
She wants to start her new year without him, but he wants to start it with her. Is she willing to stay with him, for him? Let's find out!!!
Do you want to play a game
Sparks like a fire but you can tame
Gives you the strength to start a war
But makes you weak all the same
If you win, your prize is bright
Brings forth light even at night
Makes you smile whenever you're down
But are you willing to take the chance
It's the game of love I say
A game of risks unforseen
As dangerous as it may always seem
I'm willing to play just for you
I dropped my pen and sipped from my hot mug of coffee. It was freezing cold outside and I needed to get some Groceries. I glanced at my wall clock...10:55.
I checked my messages, and missed calls; they were a ton of them from david. Sighing I grabbed my black coat and stepped out to the noisy environment.
At a corner I could see children playing with some bangers often called knock out while others sang christmas hymns even though the season had already passed. Tomorrow would be a new year and I was planning to start afresh in a new city. Something's were better left in the past.
My phone vibrated in my pocket and I dipped my hands into them to silence it.
"You were never going to pick up right?"
I sucked in a large amount of breath and looked at the person that towered before me. David.
"I'm in a hurry"
I managed to croak out as my heart filled with fresh hurt. He lied to me about something so important.
"I need you zee, please listein to me just this once"
I took my time to look at him, he looked disheveled and all I wanted to do was run my fingers through his unkempt hair till he slept peacefully. He lost the right to have peace around me.
"You don't need me as much as you need your daughter and your mistress, do you?" It hit him, it hit me too. I was always the one that kept quiet, sucked in the pain. I hardly had an outburst but right now I knew my emotions could explode if he didn't get the fuck out of my face.
"You're coming with me"
I didn't have time to protest, without warning he held my hands and dragged me into his car.
I blushed at the memory of the last time I was in his car but immediately hid it when I remembered I was meant to stay angry with him. I adjusted my large glasses.
The drive was quiet and gave me time to time to think. David and I had been together for a year now, everything was going just fine until I found out about his daughter.
It would have been better if he just told me before hand, I can still remember how I felt when I got to know.
"Zaria can I hold your hand... please"
I didn't answer him, didn't stop him when he held my hand. God I missed him. Everything about him.
The car came to a halt and I immediately knew where we were. We came down and he led me to the garden behind his mansion, where we had our first almost sabotaged date.
"Let it all out zee, I know you badly want to kill me right now"
I pursed my lips then walked a distance away from him.
I did what I had needed for the past one month, I screamed my lungs out falling to my knees
The tears I had held in spilled and I felt him try to help me up.
I turned to meet his beautiful face then I pushed him and started landing punches on his chest while he tried to calm me down.
"I loved you and you played me, you've had her for three years now"
He stopped me by kissing me. I froze. It'd been a month since I felt this, the fireworks.
I let my heart lead the way and pushed my thoughts to the farthest part of my mind. I combed his hair with my fingers, our lips fit like they were meant for each other. I let out a low moan and he used that opportunity to deepen the kiss.
We pulled apart, our foreheads heads still joined together.
"I need you zee, everyday of my life. I want to start this new year with you beside me and I always want it like that. Please stay with me"
