READER'S POVIt was all hard to process for them at once, one moment they were at the verge of sharing the deepest of moment and in the next they were back right to where everything had started, he tried all he could at first to understand the situation but the more he tried the harder it was for him to comprehend, at that moment he wasn't sure of everything he wanted..When he had walked into the room earlier he had thought the entire situation would be easier for him to handle, but it turned out that he was wrong.Feelings … It was all he blamed, he jammed the door behind him and without thinking paused for a minute before pushing hard on the table, much as he was frustrated about all that was happening, he felt it was best he treated the situation with a lot of calm.“What does she ever want?" He questioned himself but thinking about it, it could be the one question he might never have answered .The thought of going for a drink filled up his mind but he was quick to rebuff whatev
DANIELI slowly counted the steps that lead to my room, I was furious deep down. I had so many questions to ask and I was left more confused by the fact that all of this was beyond what I could handle.As it was I could say I hated something. Two things for a matter of fact, to start with I hated the fact that I had lied to her face, I had no choice but to think about it. It was starting to look like a lot more could have been done.I stared at my goddamn ring as I did, I could feel as the anger fucking burned, like inhaling mace in my soul, the fact that I was still wearing it after so long was like being punched in the throat, and being stabbed simultaneously.That was how I felt at least at that moment, I couldn't get myself to think anything less as I gathered the last bit of strength I had from the entire situation and walked away.I was restless and it was glaring to even the maid that I had walked past a couple of minutes before, all that was needed was that bit of animosity
Trying to play back all that had happened it was a bit odd at that he was still all that I was thinking about even while away at that pub, most definitely I couldn't get my mind off him, it was more difficult due to the fact that I was trying to process alot at that moment —While all this was going on, it was difficult to control all my thoughts at the back of my mind, it made it more difficult to process my thoughts, my heart waa kindling as it seemed inflamed by the feeling of animosity of the moment.I gulped down my drink in a quick succession, while trying to keep my thought all settled at that moment, it left a bit of uncertainty behind at the back of my mind.I stalled at that moment, surrounded by the moment… Taking a deep sigh in, my heart races wildly with the heavy beat that filled the room, I was unsure of what to say that moment even to Lilly who was still trying to get my mind all settled.It was Funny to say that all of this was difficult to deal with even at that mom
ROSEThe aroma of freshly cooked food rented the air, making me take in a deep drink of it as an involuntary smile crept up to my lips.Grasping my purse, I kicked off my shoes and then pushed my feet into my flip-flops.With each step I took into the living room, the stronger the aroma got. Unable to keep my inquisitiveness to myself anymore, I hurried towards the kitchen only to stop by the dining room.“What are you up to?” I grunted, staring at Daniel who had his back on me as he put the finishing touches to whatever he was preparing.Turning around with a smile etched on his lips, he closed the gap between us and then held my shoulder.“You're back.” He said, still wearing his smile. Forcing back a smile at him, I pushed his hand off my shoulder and then nodded toward the table.“Aren't you going to explain this? You never told me that you are expecting someone.” I said, allowing my eyes to wander from one dish to the other.“What are you talking about? I made dinner for just the
Rose We stalled at that moment, there was still that bit of feeling that he was speaking the truth but then I couldn't get myself to believe what it was, I was confused about the entire situation and thought I should just go ahead wity the flow at that moment.I let myself be drawn into the sequence of events, slowly it sounded more as though I needed to do more on my side if I wanted to tell if he was telling the truth.Still it was turning to be something that I had to deal with, even as he had walked away, the sequence of the entire situation had left me rather perplexed at the entire situation.I was still feeling that burn from the back of my mind, I was feeling the need to pry into more details about him.It took the next day before I could set out to do anything by then he was at the entrance of his work place trying talking to one of the men that were right there, he didn't drag the Issue any further , perhaps he was certain that I might be listening after my questions the da
DANIEL“What is this all about?”“Really." " Alright just keep all this conversation opened.”Those were my words even as I tried putting it out of my mind.I had been on the call for close to three hours trying all I could to diffuse the entire situation, as it was at the moment, I felt that need to bring myself into the picture..The thought of what she had said the previous day still filled my mind up and as I tried to diffuse the entire situation it left a mark deep in my soul as I became aware that I was telling a lie of over over again, what more could I have done, still thinking about everything, I thought it was best for me to make marks on time.I heard creaking footsteps and thought that it was best that i found out for myself what all of this was about.I walked through the entire section of the room and made way away, to the back of the terrace there I did what we possible to hide myself from where he was.“So what then, why was she here … why was she in this place of all
ÇHAPTER 129DANIELAs I heard the phone ring I stalled for a minute while trying to process all the thoughts in my mind, it appeared to me that it could be the best I had to do at that moment.If there was a way that I could find anything about what she was trying to do, it most definitely had to be waiting to hear what it was about.“So what do you want?” Her voice rang out through the room.I could tell that it was with her friend at the other end but what it was all about, I couldn't tell what it was at the moment.Still while trying to process all She was talking about it turned out to be that she was just talking was all girly talk.It went on for a while and I ended up right there still trying all I could do to process my thoughts. My name was mentioned twice but it was all cordial conversations.While still thinking about the entire situation, it turned out that I had to put a lot out of things out of my mind —My lips lifted as she turned and her gaze locked with me before fa
CHAPTER 130ROSEFot the moment being I thought it was best I put out the thought of finding out what it was all about more because it looked like he was most definitely telling the truth, as it was I couldn't get myself to think about what I really wanted.It was confusing but looking at him but still even more confusing was the fact that I couldn't tell what was going on through his mindI couldn't think about the situation at that moment, all it left in my mind was that glee of hope that appeared to get darkened in my soul.He stood there still staring at me with utmost confusion, he seemed unsettled about what he wanted and the fact that all he had to do at that motor was walk away and all these conversations would end.Still while trying to get myself to think of what to say at the moment, I felt that it was best that i stayed quiet and not say anything..“What do you want?" He asked.It seemed like an absurd question thinking that he walked in here himself. I looked straight at
170.ROSEWatching him with his son painted the most beautiful picture for any woman, and he looked so perfect regardless of whatever I had thought. Being with him meant I had to deal with a lot, now the man was not one perfect… You know, no one ever is, but still the past they say is the past.So when he had popped the question right there with the nurses watching, when he had asked that I be his wife again… My answer has been Yes. I didn't just go all the way to make the decision for nothing, as I had said it came with a lot of benefits, what I didn't say was that I had to deal with a lot of his mess, that was what loving someone is all about anyways … Dealing with the lapses and all.He looked to be quite aware of his attitude and didn't look to make a big fuss about it , perhaps he could sense that I was putting a lot into dealing with him as well and was doing what could be done to make it more accommodating for me.Regardless, I was living in this strange new world at the ba
ROSELooking past this man a long trail of air trickled in through the open door, drifting through the room for a minute or two before settling with that restless haste, at that moment my mind was drifting through different things at that moment with most having to do with a way to get over the situation that was pending at the moment, the more I tried to understand all that was going on that moment, the more my soul was filled with that feeling of uncertainty.At first, it was starting to look like he could be right, it had been three days since I walked Anna out of my house and at the moment, I was standing in her living room, with sounds of moans filling the air amidst the heavy scent of sex .It was obvious what was going on and I didn't have the need to be informed what it was all about, it was easy to tell because I had just watched her go in with Marcus of all people twenty minutes ago… I thought to myself if that was what he wanted to tell me all along. I blinked my eyes, m
ROSEThere were many things I couldn't get myself to do at that moment and the most definite one was finding answers to all that was going through the situation at that moment. I was still angry about the entire situation as it seemed blank at the back of my mind. Much as I tried not to think about it, it still felt crazy that I couldn't do anything or scream out in frustration.Still deep down in my soul, I could feel that regrettable feeling. In a way I didn't know where all the feelings from me were sprouting from but if there was anything I wanted it was to leave as fast as I could.Well all that happened yesterday, the wind blew throughout the room as it left me rather confused -Thought if him crept through my mind again, still beneath all of this was that question that remained yet unansweredMy mind went back tinted by the entire event yet again, I had lain in bed for a long minute, what was happening through all of this. In a way I found myself asking over and over again
CHAPTER 167ROSE“What are you doing? “That had been the first question that I had on my lips-He merely looked at me with his gaze saying a thousand things at that moment, I couldn't say what was happening but still with his heart racing wildly it was easy to say that he was definitely up to something." I looked at him blankly again.” My attention was drawn to where he had touched me earlier and I could swear that it still burned.Everything about the moment did, while expecting that he did speak , he didn't instead he merely looked at me while still locking his gaze in."I just need to tell you that there is a need for you to be careful.” He muttered. “Be careful about your friend Anna. “I was so confused about everything that was going on that I couldn't decipher all that was going on at that moment.What could this be about?Why did he want me to be careful about her? Much as all this was going through my mind enough that all I did was roll my eyes.“Fine I had listened to you
Rose All that was happening made it hard for me to comprehend at that moment, still all this while It was still hard to comprehend why I am still not able to get him to understand that it would be hard to forget all that had happened.The past left a bitter feeling at the back of my mind, while still trying to comprehend all that was going my phone buzzed and I Picked it up immediately.“Where are you at?" I asked immediately.Anna seemed to be hiding something as she seemed usually quiet -“Is there something you want to tell me?" Anna muttered and I found myself thinking of why she had asked.For me it most definitely had to be for a subtle reason, one that left me in a daze still pondering about the situation.“No, I am just here … why did you ask?”While still running through all the entirety of what to say at that moment, I tried again to play through the entire situation at the back of my mind."What are you doing throughout the rest of tomorrow.”I was still trying to get thro
DANIELLife pulls some strings and you are just left at times behind trying to figure out what to do, such is that that I had found myself, I was left in the past leaving Right there amidst the damages I had brought upon myself.Perhaps this same reason was why she would never trust me again, when they say good things they say come in little packages at the moment that was the case of something I had taken for granted.I wasn't shocked seeing him walk into the pub,matter of fact my spilling my drink had nothing to do with Marcus at that moment, i was shocked about the woman he was with -It was funny in a way how I chose to perceive how intellectual she had to be all this whole while for being the last person we'd suspect all this while, for the first time that evening I wouldn't deny having that smile on my face.Only this time it wasn't because I was happy, rather I was damn shocked! The smile was there when the bartender had walked to where I was , while still thinking of what t
DANIELAn Intruder of my heart, that was the best way of phrase to qualify this woman that looked so radiating at that my moment, I couldn't tell what she was talking about at that moment.One moment we were having the best moment of our life and in the next she was all angry over a reason I didn't even know -“Are you fine." I asked again when she had Stepped out .She looked at me like she didn’t expect that I would ask her that question, she seemed most definately shocked at that moment, while still trying to get the thought of everything out of my mind.The atmosphere had completely changed since that past moment, here I was still trying all I could to play through the incident again, wondering how I could play through the incident again at the back of my mind -“I am fine, I just want some time to myself." She muttered through the entire incident at that moment.In a way, her scent had filled my nostrils and they got me fascinated about her. Her scent troubled my heart enough tha
ROSEIn the heat of the moment , I could feel my heart bleeding, here I was with a bleeding hand yet nothing was at the back of my mind, rather than how it felt to have him so close to me,was I getting Crazier!I stopped and pulled myself away. At that moment it made no sense doing this to anyone as I felt unreasonably cheap, or wasn't I.He stares at me trying to read the situation but then I was from it, while all I seeked was sanity it didn't help that all of this were happening -All of a sudden I could feel everything coming back to the my head, it was that moment that I had to pick between being cheap or just-“Step away from me." I pushed back at him, forcing out a grunt as I didI couldn't even look into his eyes to say those Words, I could feel the pain though … That bot of pain from my hands but there and then.When I did look up at him he appeared rather flushed at my actions with a smirk coming to his face as he blinked his eyes looking at me. " I can't understand what is
ROSEWill these good things last forever, it was definitely the last thought that had filled my mind as I tossed and turned on the bed, somehow my mind was still left heavy after all that had happened the previous day and I was still seeking a way out of it at that moment.While I couldn't make out how the night had gone especially after those few last moment after dinner, one thing was obvious and that was the fact that we were together, in other words I was at his apartment -I could feel it from how the room felt so warm and the fact that his scent filled the room, to make this more certain, I had turned and right there he was. That morning all I got while looking at him was this continuous round of disturbing taps at the back of my mind, it was surprising.in a way that after all this while, he still made my heart race, at the same time the feeling was welcome.At first after those first few minutes after I had woken up with a vision was still blurry, it was hard to make out the
