DANIELI watched her leave and I was filled with fury at the mine she left. I was angered at the fact that she had walked away from me leaving me all alone there in the middle of the room.With the anger thudding heavily in my heart I stormed over to where she had gone to, at first I had seen that look of uncertainty in her eyes as she looked back at me—I didn't wait to even weigh her expression before I had the front door locked. My rough palm practically burned her as I grabbed Rose and jerked her up to face me.“What did you think you just did?"My eyes were fiery red as I was filled with anger, no one has walked away from me and the fact that she would do that made me feel more anger that left a burning sensation in my lower stomach.It took a moment to find her voice to speak, and once she did, it sounded more breathless and uncertain than it ever had.“What are you doing?” she questioned.I was mad. I had to be, to touch her that way to be this angry at her.“Let that be th
ROSEThe moment he walked out of the room, I knew that was my chance and I had to do something really very fast at the moment, it was mostly difficult for me to deal with at the moment, I knew to get away from him required for him to be totally out of sight…He walked into the room and I had seen him trying to look at my face to see if I had been sleeping.At first, I acted like I didn't know anything that was going on and acted as though I was sleeping.Soon after he had walked away, I was quick to Swatch into new clothes and made my way out fast as i could —Only when I made my way out did I find a bit of relief much to my own expectation. A warm breeze flowed through the streets as I made my way through. I could imagine to myself what he would be doing at the moment.Was he aware that I had left?It made more difficult the fact that all of these happening were as a result of two adults not being able to talk.Finally, I approached where I had been making my way to, I could hear my
ROSEThe shattering noise of the cup filled the and almost immediately I could feel his burning gaze come up to my faceI watched the hot tea stain on his white shirt and immediately I could feel my heart beating. I didn't know what to expect, didn't know if he was going to scream his head out, but whatever the feeling was going to be he didn't let it out as he felt all quiet.“I am so sorry,” I apologized hastily, bending to the floor and dropping the tray nearby while I used the serviette to try and pick up the broken pieces of the cup.As each made part of my soul touched with the wet floor, it instantly dissolved leaving me a mushy poodle of tissue and tea.He was yet to say a word- Yet to say anything, the thought of that alone made my heartburnI sighed. Something was definitely coming, he was definitely going to react but what was stopping him I didn't know.To my surprise he muttered.“It is alright Rose, please get off the floor. It is not advisable to try and use your bare
CHAPTER 49ROSEShe tried getting away from where she was just so, she could be call but it was to no avail as he didn't call back immediately, soon after she had made effort to get away her phone rung again.By now, she was at the car getting ready to leave —With her stomach rumbling due to the nerves that had settled in there, she dropped all the shopping bags onto the back seat and picked up her phone that had suddenly begun to ring from the car seat that was next to the driver seat. Even without checking the caller ID, she already knew it had to be Daniel calling. She had been anticipating the call the moment she had been debited for the five Christian Dior bags that she had bought, these were things she most definitely didn't need.Taking a sweaty lock of hair away from her forehead, she checked the caller ID and saw that it was indeed Daniel that was calling“Told you he was going to call." She called out at Anna that was still right there waiting, Anna smiles sheepishly. “Yo
DANIELAfter dinner, I watched as Rose smiled at the journalist before leaving the dinner table with the plates she could carry. She must have wanted to also give me time to talk to him while I walked him to the door. We left the dinner table also and walked towards the front door, the driver was already waiting outside when we got there. "Thank you for inviting us to dinner too and for the useful piece of information you gave us" The journalist said with a smile. I returned the smile as we shook hands, "It was a pleasure, I do hope that you would give us a good report about being a good couple when the article comes out" "Of course Daniel, I will not disappoint you, Thank Rose again for having us over, we will take our leave now" The journalist said before finally leaving for the car. I stood there and watched them till the car was no longer in sight before going back into the house. I saw that Rose had come back from the other plates and had cleared the table, she must have fin
ROSERose was beginning to feel a little awkward. She had no idea what was wrong with her and she hoped it really wasn’t what she thought. She was quite worried at the thought of her being pregnant. Even though she tried to get it off her mind and believe she was overthinking, she knew she certainly wasn't.No matter how hard she struggled with the thoughts, it ended up winning and clouding my mind instead, leaving her with what ifs and why should.Occasionally, she would walk to the mirror and check for any little bump with a microscopic view as she stared deep into the mirror. She would check for any little sign or any little push, perhaps.Going to the hospital would give her the answer she needed but maybe she didn’t need it yet! She couldn’t deal with all that, considering all that was going on.With each day that passed by, she seemed and felt a little weaker. It could probably be her thoughts but it had begun to affect her body and somehow, her ability and agility to do tasks e
ROSEAt the moment, we were in the waiting room awaiting the result of the pregnancy test. I had made sure to keep my distance from Daniel, occasionally casting him a glance.He had his hands wrapped across his chest and had kept a straight face all the while. At one point, I couldn't help but imagine breaking into his head so I could know what he was thinking about.Shifting my gaze away, I focused my attention on the wall.“I hope it comes out negative.” I muttered and immediately, Daniel turned towards my direction. Squirming where I sat, I had my gaze to the ground, hoping he didn't hear my words.After what seemed like forever, the nurse who had conducted the test, appeared, holding an envelope. On seeing this, my heart beat increased as I tightened my grip on my seat.“The result is ready.” She said with a neutral expression, making me sign in frustration. I was hoping I would be able to read the result from her face.She pushed the result towards Daniel who immediately tore the
DANIELLivid with the turnout of events, I decided to step out for a moment to clear my head. After locking Rose up, giving her the instruction not to leave, I headed to the bar.Bottles after bottles littered the table, still yet, I wasn't sober. I wanted to forget my worries as soon as possible but they kept staring at me in the face and making a mockery of me.“Why will she do that?” I muttered, my mind centered on the possibility of Rose getting rid of the child. Shaking my head sideways, I balled my fists and then sent them into the table.“She wouldn't do that.” I muttered, shaking my head sideways. I was finding it hard to believe that Rose purposely got rid of my child.That night, it was a miracle that I was able to get home without getting involved in an accident.The following morning, I woke up with a splitting headache as the event of the previous day set it. Rubbing my forehead, I swung my feet off the bed and then groped my way into the bathroom.On my return, my mind qu
