Chapter 6
************************
"Mike, call Williams and tell him to bring the car around."I instructed my p.a. After a long day at work, home was the perfect escape. Except it really wasn't.
"Yes ma'am." He walked out taking his suitcase with him.
I turned off the computer and arranged all loose files,putting off my heels to wear comfortable flats.
I was exhausted. I stood up and picked my bag,ready to call it a day when the phone rang.
"Hey priscy,wanna hang out?" It was Cynthia,my friend from college. We weren't really close,but somehow,after my parents death,she has been more fervent in reaching out.
"Would love too,but I've got lots of paperwork,let's reschedule." I lied.
" Ohh, Dani and Ella are here,we were really hoping you could make it,but it's fine, we'll hang out some other time." She answered.
Even if I was planning to go,the names she just mentioned wouldn't let me,they were the queen bees in college back then and they never liked me.
"Yeah bye." I ended the call.
Call my social life boring,that was if I even had one.
I got home four hours later,on a trip that would only last an hour tops,traffic today was maddening. Little wonder I was down with a headache.
"Welcome priscy." Diana greeted as I made my way in. I smiled at her. She smiled back. "I made spaghetti and egg sauce,should I serve you?"
" Yes, thank you....could you help me bring it to my room?"
" Offcourse,you take a shower and rest,I'll heat it up and bring it." She replied still smiling.
I was Midway up the stairs when I realised I haven't heard or seen Cecilia and Davis. "Where are they?" I asked turning around to ask her.
"They didn't tell me anything,but I guess they went to tow Davis's car to the mechanic." She reported.
I nodded,continuing my trip to my room.
They arrived around midnight,I was watching a movie on the TV when they returned.
They both made their way in,not talking to each other. Davis's eyed me as he passed by,heading straight for the kitchen. Cecilia sat opposite me on the couch.
"What's wrong?" I asked wrapping the blanket tightly around me as I paused the movie I was watching on Netflix.
"It's Davis,the car,turns out it's a write-off. He drone it straight into building,the engine is knocked,the house owners he crashed into want a compensation,they asked for ten million naira. He's mad cause I told him that if I paid the house owners,he doesn't stand a chance of getting a car anytime soon."
" Woah....wait up,you're paying the ten million naira for him,don't you think he's the one who should pay for that?" I argued sitting up.
" He doesn't have that type of money priscy,you know that."
"Okay,first you buy him a car,he destroys it....and now you get to clean up his mess,that car costs a hell lot of money." I yelled. " What are you even doing with him Cecilia?"
" Don't raise your voice at me priscy, this is exactly why I don't tell you stuffs again. You just don't get it." She yelled agitated.
" Am trying to help you here, Davis is not the guy for you!"
"And he's the guy for you?" She stood up picking her bag and phone from the table she had dropped it. "Davis told me you've been giving him some signals,now that that I really know what you want,am going to step up and say that whatever it is you have up in your head,it's not going to work. Davis is mine."
" Davis told you what!" I exclaimed. Cecilia is delusional to have believed something like that. " I hate this guy,and you know that."
"Yeah yeah, and then you've always said that you had to feel something for someone in order to hate them. "She reminded.
" Well obviously I was wrong,or it's just probably his case. And I hope you open your eyes soon enough to see that I was always right,and that Davis is wrong for you." I announced taking my blanket with me and hurrying back to my room.
It's been three hours since our little rant,it's past 3am, and I still hadn't slept a wink. I couldn't wait to confront Davis in the morning and clear up whatever naughty thoughts he was making up in that useless head of his.
I got down from my bed,heading to the kitchen to get milk. Maybe that would help.
In the last room before the kitchen,I heard muffled voices,taking quiet steps to the door, I heard whisperings. It was Diana's room. I got scared that something might be happening to her and opened the door without knocking. The sight I met felt like I was drenched with cold water. I saw Davis lying on Diana,his hands holding both of hers above her bed. They were not naked,they were both fully clothed.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Davis asked getting off her.
"I.....was passing by,I thought something happened to her. Now you,what the fuck are you doing here in the middle of the night?" I asked folding my arms to my chest.
" Here to see my sister." He replied,I wasn't sure I wasn't hearing things,but the way he said sister raised suspicion.
"We were just arguing about.... something,thanks for your concern."Diana said meekly.
" Was he?" I asked hopping she caught on to my silent last word 'hitting you' .
She shook her head. Davis laughed.
"You're a clown." He laughed walking past me,to bump his shoulder on mine.
" Are you sure,you know you can tell me anything right?" I asked crouching beside her bed.
" Am fine,it's nothing I can't handle. Thanks again for your concern." She smiled sniffing back tears.
" Good night Diana." I said walking out of the room,she didn't reply.
I made my way to the kitchen and saw Davis standing beside the fridge. "You are so shameless." I hissed at him.
"How am I?" He laughed.
I walked past him to the fridge. He held my elbow. "Let me go."
"Not yet princess. You have this habit of showing up in places you shouldn't be,and saying things you shouldn't be saying. I would stop that if I were you."
" Is that a threat?" I asked.
" Nope,just a warning." He smiled. " You're quite a handful."
I grabbed my arm from him and sent him a murderous glare before opening the fridge to get my carton of milk.
"Want to hear the truth?" He asked still staring at me. I didn't reply. " I tried talking to you a few times in college,you always ignored me. The first time I talked to Cecilia was to try and get your number from her. She thought I liked her. It was pathetic."
" Thank God you know you're pathetic." I threw back at him.
" I meant she is,funny part is that she still is that naive little girl." He laughed.
I ground my teeths together "How much do you want,I'll pay you myself."
" How much do I want?" He laughed clapping his hands as his shoulders shook. " Why would I want a measly amount,when I could get much more by following Cecilia around and saying a few sweet words."
" You're hurting her." I almost cried.
" Do I look like I care?" He raised a brow.
" She doesn't deserve this!" I cried letting the tears fall. " She doesn't any of you ." I dropped the carton on the table beside him and began hitting his chest with my fists."you don't deserve her,you animal!".
He pulled me closer to him and kissed me. I fought, struggling to free myself,the bastard held my waist with one hand and his other hand,pulling my head to his face. He kept kissing me,and then eventually thrust his tongue into my mouth. I stepped on this toes immediately, grinding them hard. He released me. As soon as I was freed,I kicked him in his groin,resulting in him bending over,and I knocked him hard on his head.
"Don't you ever try that with me again." I warned picking my milk and heading over to my room.
He was yelling in pain,now sitting on the floor in the kitchen.
++++++++++++++++++++++
"You kissed him?" Jude asked,his eyes almost bulged out of their sockets.
" He kissed me!" I corrected.
"Yeah...right," He said sarcastically. "Did you have feelings for him?"
"Offcourse not, I can't believe you." I almost shout.
"Am sorry about that. I have a killer headache,and I have to heard out in an hour." He says looking at the watch on his wrist.
" And your lady friend?" I asked silently hoping I didn't sound a tad bit jealous.
" She's not my lady friend,she's a colleague. And she left earlier." He replied.
I shrugged " Not like it's any of my business."
He smiled. "Did you wait up last night?"
I blushed "Don't deceive yourself....I slept immediately you left."
"We didn't do anything together....we were both tipsy,she slept in my room,I used the other room." He explained.
" Why are you telling me?" I asked,still not sparing him a glance.
" I honestly don't know why too,I just have this urge to explain myself to you." He smiled walking up to stand in my front. "I'll see you later princess.". He kissed my forehead.
I looked up at him shocked,he only smiled. "Looks like I finally got that eye contact."
I blushed. This guy was really a handful.
He winked at me and then made his way out,leaving me with my jaw dropped.
I exhaled immediately I heard the door. I didn't even know I was holding my breath.
