JANE:Heal Me 💔

Jogging

Jane's pov

I really didn't want to face Ben this morning,after what happened I don't think I'm ready to face anybody for that matter.It's been a while since I broke down like that and I had to go do it in front of Ben of all people...

He said I can trust him,I wish it would be easy to do that but I just can't.

I can't stay in here all day no matter, how much I want to do that and I probably look hideous with all the crying I did last night.

I headed into the bathroom after getting my sponge case from my suitcase and cleaned up before heading to the kitchen, I'm starving.

I guess Ben is still sleeping,he probably needs the rest after dealing with my tantrum last night,I was starting to feel guilty for hitting the him cause my knuckles ache a little so I figured I must have hit him while trying to get him off me and stupid for letting a dead guy hold that much power over me.

I know Ben and Gideon are two different people but it's hard to open up again.

I started taking ingredients to prepare breakfast,I was thinking of making my own version of plantain fritata but I don't know if Ben woul like it,I guess I'll just make it and he can get something else if he doesn't.

Good morning Jane.

I turned around swiftly to see a very shirtless smiling Ben behind me.

Good morning, I didn't hear you come in and thanks for yesterday,I hope I didn't disturb your sleep,I will just try to move around quietly you can go back to sleep,I was rambling and now he probably thinks am stupid too.

You didn't wake me up Jane,he looked...confused and amused at the same time, probably wondering how he got himself hooked with miss stupid.

And you are welcome,it was no problem at all and you pack quiet the punch wifey,he said.

I wasn't sure if he was teasing me or just making a comment.I'm so sorry about that Ben,it won't happen again,I stated seriously.

Oh,you don't have to apologize,I was just teasing you,it no problem at all,he said losing his smile.

I'm such a killjoy and this was getting awkward so I turned back and started cutting the plantain.

Uhmm,I was about to go jogging,I was hoping you could join me.

I tensed up not knowing,if he was inviting me cause he thinks am too fat  and needs to loose weight or he just wanted some conpany.
Anyways my answer is still no since have taken my bath and I hated jogging.

No,I was about cooking so you can go on,the meal would be done by the time you are back.

Ok then,he said tugging on a shirt,I didn't notice he was holding.

I turned back and continue with my cooking,but still not hearing him move.

Do you need anything,I turned to him.

N- No,he said still hesitating.

Ok,I said, wondering if I said the wrong thing again.

I turned back and started cracking some eggs into a bowl.

I finally heard him walk away and I felt myself release the breath I didn't know I was holding in.

That man keeps me on my toes like no one else does.

                             ***

I just finished eating ,when I heard a very ladylike laughter my mum would like to hear from me.

Curiousity got the best of me,so I walked into the sitting room and open  the window to see a stupid skunk like lady all over Ben, my husband.

I didn't know what possessed me,next thing I knew,I was walking out the front door and walking over towards the lady whose back was to me and Ben who was smiling and waving at me.

Doris, that's my wife,Ben smiled at the lady who was still feeling up my man's,I meant Ben's biceps.

Doris!I said meet my...

I didn't let Ben finish,I pulled the fake assed bitch backwards by the hair,taking great pleasure in hearing her scream out.

I'm his wife,I said coldly.

Jane!What is wro...

Stay out this Ben,she was touching you and I don't like it one bit.

Bennnnn,Doris whined,tell her to let go of my hair.

I will hit you in the face,if you touch my husband like that again,I said seriously still gripping her hair.

What the hell is wrong with me?!!!I've never acted like this even when Gideon comes back to our apartment with one of his whores.

Like what?she asked bitterly, it's obvious a fat pig like you can't satisfy him the way I can!!!I've known Ben for a very long time and am sure I can please him than you can.

She called me a pig,I won't go back to been a pushover...You are saying that now but it wasn't your name he was calling out last night,I shouted angrily.

Ben seems to be choking on something and people were starting to come out of their house and those walking by stopped giving me different looks.

Of course it wasn't true but I was to far gone to care now.

.... and you claim to know Ben so well then you should know a thin railed fake ass bitch like you won't satisfy him,My Husband loves his meat Doris and unlike you my ass is very real and my Ben here can testify to it since he was grabbing onto it last night,I knew I was shouting but I didn't care.

Doris was whimpering at this point, probably because I was still gripping her hair.

Jane,baby please let her go,so we can inside, she's just a old friend from college nothing more,Ben whispered.

Old friend?I let go of her hair and turned around to walk inside with Ben beside me and noticed the people still loitering around, didn't they have places to be?

I stopped walking and turned back to Doris...and one more thing Doris,yes I'm fat but he chose me over you, Doris.If nothing else it just shows how am worth much more than you are...think about that.

I walked away without a backward glance this time, leaving her fuming at me.

I heard Ben close the door,and with considerable trepidation,I turned around trying to man-up and face the consequence of my action and words...
