Perfect SCARS

72

We exchanged numbers........
I kept trying to avoid his gaze
It made me feel so......... Hot

I know but everytime I look at him my cheeks grow red and itcy..
And I know I dont blush.... So I dont understand what that feeling was all about

Even after I have agreed to hang out, he still kept the conversation going.... We both leaned on the bonnet of his car and just talk

Asking and answering irrational questions, I have to admit that I am beginning to adapt to being around him... Unlike the first few times I met him.. Where my tongue are either twisted or numb because I find it so hard to construct a sentence as I should
And my body either freezed or glued to a spot

Am glad I have learnt to adjust because Whether I like it or not or whether I'm prepared to see him or not..... I will be seeing him more often now

By the time we finally decided to wrap up our discussion... I was so sure I wasn't going to any get to gether....
I will just go and lay down on my bed

I dont know but he must have read my mind because he then insisted that his driver comes to pick me, since he is quite sure I will leave him hanging

I laughed hard because he was right.... But now that he is insisting I had no choice but to agree

I didn't want to give him my address so I asked him to tell his driver to wait outside their house

I asked about Julie and he said Julie isn't at home either.
I just needed to confirm, because I wouldn't want Julie seeing me hopping into her husband's car right in front of her House

After I left Philip, I jogged back to my apartment and freshen then it got to the hard part where I have to think of what to wear

In between my indecisiveness, Philip called twice and I just had to pick my short red dress after the second phone call

I wore my flat slippers and took my phone....I didn't bother to wearing any makeup... Even though my face looked pale fresh from my shower.... I didn't mind.. Besides I don't want to look too excited for a mere hang out

i saw the familiar range rover through my window..... Maybe this isn't such a bad idea...
I took two of my hearing bugs and head downstairs
. I hurried into the car as soon I got out of the building

The drive was less than fifteen minutes before we stopped in front of a tall building...
The driver parked the car and led me into the building,
Fancy doesn't begin to describe the place..... It looked like an hotel,
What am I even saying this is an hotel.. Why would he bring me to an hotel... We rode the elevator and I just spin over reasons what his intentions are... . they are alot of people here so... He can't be stupid enough to do something crazy.....
I caution myself from asking the driver some really silly questions

We rode to the last floor and when we stepped out., we took another stairs and...... Boom.. Am on top of the tall building........ .. A huge wave of relief swept pass me.

It was top roof bar with lots of people having fun and enjoying the night breeze... It was beautiful

Philip was at the bar of course, while Simon and his crew were on a table filled with everything..
Philip raised his glass at me 🥃 and I smiled.
Simon on the other hand bounced at me when he saw me
The hug was too tight and he wreck of alcohol.....

He led me to the table.... Ask the bar service boys to get an extra chair for him... He introduced me to everyone as his girlfriend......

I wanted to pluck his eyes out as usaul the girls wore their envious look... I focused on my chilled malt drink and my phone and every time I can I took a quick glance at Philip.

Two out of three times when I peeped at him our eyes met... I smiled and  looked away quickly telling myself that would be the last time I would do that tonight

Everything was going well until Simon turned his chair to face me and held mine to face him

I awkwardly adjusted myself to give him what he wants..

Then he smiled and held my chin

"What are you doing Simon ''

"You are so..... So.... Beautiful "

"Thanks .. Now can you pls drop my chin"

"Ohhh".... He removed his hand immediately
"Sorry about that..... I'm just glad you came tonight.. I notice we have been drifting apart since the Victoria incident "

"You know that's not true "

"It kinda is.    I've spent my own life looking for someone like you and I'm not going to let that crazy girl ruin this for me ... You are important to me genesis. I love you "

I raised my brows and looked down

"I'm serious....... I know you might be having doubt because of what that crazy girl must have told you about me but I can assure you that I didn't try anything stupid with her..... She's just making things up "

Lord please I would like to hear anything but this Victoria story again
I am tired of hearing different versions of the same story

"When she just started working for Juliet.... Julie gave her a hard time  she wanted to quit and I just gave her advice as a friend and we starting hanging out.....
I admit I was getting too close to her but I only took her more like a sister nothing romantic ever happened and she was the kind of girl that loved to shop...... So I bought her gifts sometimes and even give her my card to do her shopping "

"Why did you do all that "

"I dont know... Maybe to encourage her"

"But she's not your sister.... Anyone could have taken your gesture for affection..... That was too much "

"I know I was being too nice with her but I thought she understood "

"You didn't have a girlfriend at that time... She just connect the dots "

"I never expressed my feelings to her in anyway..... She just got all the ideas in her head and when her roommate left her, she just transfered all the excess love which she had for her roommate who already has a girlfriend to me...... And I don't feel that way for her at all "

"You dont.... Huh"

"I dont but for you I feel better whenever I'm around you... I look forward to seeing you, and hearing your voice and staring into your eyes"

"How romantic but I think you are drunk and you need to sleep it off "

"No.... This is not the alcohol talking .. It me.... This is how I feel"

I looked back at Philip's table.... He's gone ..  But where did he go

"Ohhh OK, but tell me why does Philip prefer to isolate himself from you guys. I thought you are here together "

"That just how he is..... He doesn't roll well with crowd, so I was saying "

Saying rubbish...
How long do u have to endure this
