Chapter 8
***********************
The return of Davis lawal was dramatic, he came in looking all shaven and refreshed. His excuse for his disappearance was that he wanted to have some place to himself to think. Cecilia welcomed him with open arms and even apologized, she actually did. I just got back from the gym, still clad in my sweaty attire as I watched the event unfold.
"Guess what babe?" Cecilia asked beaming .
"What's that?" He asked not as enthusiastic.
" Am pregnant. We're expecting." She clapped excited.
" Wait what! We can't,you can't. Look at me babe,am not ready to have a baby yet."
" It's fine,I could always support our family. I still have some money left."
" Am sorry Cecilia,but we can't,you have to get an abortion. Geez,you're probably the only woman alive that would want to have a baby without making plans first. Am not ready for a baby yet." He held her face with his palms." I still want you to myself. A baby would complicate things."
" So what are you suggesting Davis?" She asked pulling his hands off her face.
He shrugged" I mean,an abortion?"
"Never,I would never do that,you can't make me and you won't." She cried running up the stairs. He followed.
" That was mad." I offered,Diana shrugged."How are you feeling now?" It's day three since she and Cecilia were both discharged. Thankfully,she wasn't pregnant,the doctor said it was stress and fatigue.
"Am okay.....you shouldn't be worried about me, Cecilia needs that more. Davis won't let her keep that baby. Hell,he might even spike her drink if it comes down to it " she warned.
I nodded. Walking closer to her,sitting opposite her in the dining room. "I don't know if it's just me,and my ever growing suspicious nature,but I feel like something is off between you and Davis. Still can't place my finger on it though."
" There's nothing."she retorted harshly. " Don't go snooping around looking for something. And I would watch my back if I were you." She stood up and left. Leaving a dumbfounded me to myself.
"Do you think I did the right thing,I mean,do you think he'll come around?" Cecilia asked pacing my room.
" Am sure he will. Now stop walking around,you're making me dizzy."
" I mean,he won't even eat,he sleeps downstairs on the couch. If I try to talk to him. He would only reply me with 'have you decided' which I would answer no,then he would ignore my presence. I feel like a bad person."
" That's exactly how he wants you to feel. It's your life,and you have the money to raise a baby by yourself. So Fuck him!"
" But I love him,I love him so much,it hurts to see him like this because of me."
" You want the truth?" I asked...she nodded." Let him be."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As much as I tried to sleep,I couldn't. I really need to see a doctor,soon. I got up from my bed and made my way downstairs,not planning to bump into anyone. Especially Diana,our slowly progressing relationship had gone downhill. She only replies with one word now,and rarely smiles. I can't believe I did that.
I made myself some tea and and was about to head back to my room when HE came in.
"Well well well,if it isn't the lastest aunty in town." He said mockingly. Making his way into the kitchen.
" Haha,I would have been really ecstatic if it wasn't closely attached to you. I would accept a madman impregnating my sister than you."
" I doubt the mad man would appreciate sex with your sister though,all she knows is missionary,she doesn't have any flexible bone. I would give myself a hand job than accept a blow job from her." He smirked.
I closed my eyes,willing myself the spirit to not hit him with a spatula. "Are you done Davis ?"
He nodded "she won't be having that baby." He whispered as I walked past him.
" Says who?"
"Me......let's wait and see." He smirked." And I see you didn't tell her about that kiss."
" It wasn't worth wasting my valuable breaths and saliva." I retorted.
" Best kiss have ever had,am sure you felt something too,I could help you refresh your memory if you'd like ."
" I would rather kiss a pig." I snarled. " You're a piece of shit!"
He laughed. " Am your piece of shit. Only for you priscillia just you."
" Thought Cecilia said you weren't eating?"
" That girl is dumb....why the hell would I starve myself for her. I just don't eat in her presence,and she automatically thinks I don't eat at all. Little wonder your parents left you the company. Still can't imagine how she passed back in school. She's so naive."
I couldn't take it anymore,I lift my right palm and slapped him hard across the face. His face registered shock and pain immediately,my palm stung. "That's for all the trash your mouth just disposed. Next time,it would be much worse,and that's a promise." I assured.
He grabbed my elbow. " You should be happy I can't hit you. For every single pain you cause me, it'll cost your sister times three. I'll make her life miserable and that's a promise too."
I grabbed my arm off." I would love to see you try."
I made my way into my room. Pouring my now soggy tea in the bathroom.
++++++++++++++++++++++
"Do you want an honest opinion?" Jude asked eating the last of his meal.
I nodded downing my glass of water in one go.
"I think this Davis guy liked you. He wanted you, not your sister."
" I figured,after a while. The day I finally got the balls to tell cee about the kiss,our already shaking relationship fell and broke. She became distant and even more cold. I told her everything Davis said too. She didn't believe me,and said she knew she was right all along. She thought I liked Davis."
" That's mad....... The food was delicious thank you very much chef priscy." He said making a bow.
" I should be thanking you,you're a really good man." I laughed it off
" Is this the part where I blush?" He asked. I laughed really hard tearing up. He joined in. "We should see a movie."
"Hell no,we shouldn't,that's a pretty bad idea. The last time that happened,I made a fool of myself." I cringed in embarrassment.
" Well,maybe I want you to embarrass yourself a little bit more. I kind of want to refresh my memory of that kiss. And probably not act like a dick right after." He confessed.
I beamed,no way,there is no way that is happening again."You are already a dick."
"A big one." He winked.
I grabbed a throw pillow from the closest sofa and hurled it at him standing up." You're impossible."
"We could both make it possible together." He answered catching the pillow and throwing it right back.
"Am out of here." I whispered walking away,using my hair to cover my red face.
"It's perfectly alright to be shy!" He yelled behind me. " And offcourse,I would love to clear the dishes thank you very much." He said sarcastically still laughing.
I slammed the door of my room hard as I willed my heart to stop beating this fast.
Short chapter, my apologies....I'll make it up to you in the next chapter.
Quick question please🙋, would you like more of the past,or much more of the present. Am trying my very best to balance the two equations.
