CHAPTER 6(A HEARTBREAKING BREAKUP)
Henry made a stop infront of her house after the long exhausting drive.
"Let's call it a night then"he said.
"No...you haven't actually been inside my house before.Now would be the right time".
"Are you sure about that?"he asked.
She nodded affirmatively.
He got down from his car and they both walked right in.
They got into the house which was very cozy with the lights off.She switched on the light.
"Welcome to my house and Make yourself comfortable"she said.
"Thanks. Your house is beautiful just like you"he complimented while sitting down.
"Thank you.So what can I offer you?".
"Nothing. I've already had so much to eat and drink".
"Okay"she sat a little bit far from him.
"And why are you at Los Angeles while I am seated here in New York?"he asked noticing the distance between them.
She laughed and drew close to him.
"Much better".
"So tell me are you in a relationship?."He asked
"No I am not."
"You once were or you've never been?"he further asked.
"I have only dated one person in my life and it didn't end well for either of us".
"What happened?.He cheated?"
"Nope he didn't. Sex was the problem"she grinned.
"I don't get it. How is that supposed to be a problem?".
"I never agreed to have sex with him. I had phobia for it then."she implied.
"How?"confused at her statement.
"I have never had sex before. It doesn't trip me".
Henry couldn't believe his ears. A lady still being a virgin in this modern age. That was quite weird and shocking for him but he didn't doubt her.
"Are you serious?"he couldn't believe his ears.
"Let me go get you something to drink"she stood up to go get him a glass of wine.
"Wow"he muttered to himself.
Few hours later,at around 9am in the morning came Ken, Nina's boyfriend. Things have been going on the wrong spot lately for him and Nina,their relationship was taking a turn for the worst so he came to inquire from her what the problem is and what the solution could be.
Ding dong!the door bell rings. Nina opens the door and was surprised to see Ken at her door. It was almost like she wasn't expecting him.
"Can you at least let me in?"he reminded.
"Sure"she let him in.
"What are you doing here?"she asked.
"I'm here to see you.Or can't I see my girlfriend again?"he implied while comfortably sitting on the chair,Nina joins him too.
"What is it you want to talk about Ken?
"Aren't you happy to see me first?"
"Just go straight to the point. Enough with the pleasantries".she wasn't cut in for jokes or pleasantries.
"What is happening to us Nina?.What is happening to our relationship?.Is there anything that I have done wrong?.I don't know what it is that is making you act cold towards me,but whatever it is,I am really sorry. I want us to fix our relationship. I love you and can't live without you"he said with all manner of sincerity.
"Fix?.Fix what exactly?.Ken look it's obvious our relationship can no longer work. Our ship has sank.Can't you read the handwriting on the wall?.It is time to move on with your life.".She said.
"Move on with my life...wait...are you breaking up with me?
"You already know so stop stressing"
"Why?what have I done?"he asked almost tearing up.
"I am in love with another and he loves me too"she concluded.
Ken couldn't believe his ears and what she was saying. He couldn't believe that his girlfriend of 4 years was going to leave him for someone he doesn't even know. He stood up from his seat.
"Nina,you are crazy.How can you do this to me?.Did 4 years of being with you mean nothing to you?".
"We stayed as we could but now I feel like I am stuck. I want to move on with my life already. Don't you get it?.".
He stood there speechless,he tried so hard not to cry. He loved Nina do much and has made lots of sacrifices for her but there she was speaking words that he didn't expect her to say. All he could do was walk out.
"Don't regret this Nina".He left and banged the door hard.
"I wont".She said to herself.
"I love Henry. It is the both of us against the world. You need to be happy for me.Anyways I feel relieved now...I feel free."she said smiling at herself.
Henry spent the night at Jane's place,he slept very late in the midnight because of the tireless discussions he had with Jane. He lay on the couch while Jane bent over beside him watching him sleep.
"He is so handsome"she thought,trying to touch his face but then he woke up.
"Good morning"she greeted.
"Good morning"he smiled.
"I can't believe I slept over here. Hope I wasn't a burden to you?".
"No not at all. You slept very late and you ended up sleeping on the couch".
"Oh really. How late?"he asked.
"3am. You don't remember?".
"Probably because I had so much to drink."he paused to take a better look at her.
"Beautiful as always"he complimented.
"Thanks"she blushed.
"So what would you have me prepare for you for breakfast?".
"Breakfast?.No I have to hurry home now. Thank you for your generosity".he picked up his shirt and wore it.
Jane couldn't help but admire his fine looking chest,broad shoulders and muscles. He was indeed a handsome looking man with a magnificent physique. She didn't want to look stupid so she turned her face away immediately.
"Thank you so much"he helped her to her feet.
"So what are you up to today?"she asked.
"Alot.Mostly work but I promise to see you soon"he gave her a peck on her cheek.
"See you later beautiful"he smiled at her and left.
Jane bid him goodbye and watched him leave through her window.bShe felt a certain kind of way when Henry was around her. She started recalling back to the dinner date,to the times he made her laugh,to all the little beautiful moments they've had so far. It seemed magical but real to her. She could only wish for more
CHAPTER 5(DINNER DATE) Dusk seemed to have overcome the overwhelming light of the sun as it was 8pm already.The atmosphere seemed to have been in favour of Henry as nature blessed the atmosphere with it's cool breeze,and some calmness.Just like Henry who keeps to time,Jane was already prepared for her dinner date with Henry and Henry on the other hand, was outside waiting for her in his car. Moments later,Jane came out from her house dazzling in the hot red dinner gown she wore,her flowing black hair and a light makeup of a red lipstick,eyeshadow, neatly drawn eye brows and eyeliner .Her beauty left Henry astonished and speechless at the same time as he had to come out of his car to get a better view of her. "Wow!"He exclaimed silently. Jane smiled at him which sort of brought him back to his senses. "You look stunning"he complimented. "Well thank you". He then open
CHAPTER 4(A BOLD STEP) It was morning already,the sun was up but Nina decided to remain indoors.For the past week that she met Henry,she hasn't been herself.This was a random guy she met at the beach.She wasn't supposed to disturb herself too much over him but there she was bothered about him and wishing she could see him again.She didn't seem to be thinking about her boyfriend Ken anymore,all she wanted was the beach boy Henry and what she could do to get him back. She picked up her phone and decided to swallow her pride and dial his number.She wanted to hear his voice so bad. "Should I call him or not?"she asked herself. "What if he snubs me?" "Did he forget to call me or what?..." "Goddamn it.It is over a week now" She decided to then take a bold step.She knew obviously that if she didn't call,he wouldn't bother calling. She picked up her phone and
CHAPTER 3(THE INTRODUCTION) Jane was still so excited about her new job that she invited Nina over.She already brought 2 glasses,poured some champagne into it and offered her friend a glass.She was so excited that even Nina was so lost. "I have been sitting her for over 30 minutes and my dear friend has refused to tell what is making her so happy".Nina said . "You won't believe it Nina.Your friend here..."she boasted while turning around for Nina to see her well. "Is now the latest employee of the INFINITY company".she concluded while clapping her hands in excitement. "Oh my God!"She stood up excitedly to hug Jane . "I am so happy for you baby girl.How on Earth did you do it?".she asked enthusiastically. "Well nothing serious,I just got asked a few questions and that's it.It wasn't hard at all" "I am so happy for you and please get ready to spend on me" "No
CHAPTER 2(CHEATED UPON) At the family home of Henry, he doesn't actually live with his family as he was a man that has already paved way for himself.He actually came to be with his dad for a little while.The house which was magnificent in nature,had a basketball court,a gym,and a very big courtyard.His Father Honourable Wilberforce,a divorcee in his early sixties who happened to be a very rich man that deals with petroleum and many other things to his credit is seated with his scotch drink by his side.He has always been a fan of the drink. One could tell by the look on his face that he wasn't in a good mood at all.He can't seem to get over the scene of his wife Gladys cheating on him with one of his business associates. Few years back, he woke up before his wife Gladys,took his bath,brushed his teeth and few minutes later,he was already wearing a suit.He had a flight to catch that ea
CHAPTER 1 (HOW IT STARTED) Nina has always been the type that envies her friend Jane.What is the bone of contention?.Her best friend's man.How did it all start? It was a sunny day at the beach,the sun not so hot was serving its purpose on the skin of people that had come to relax on the beach.Girls in bikinis running around,some people playing at the ocean tide,some lovers acting all romantic and showing affection,kids building sand houses. "Awwnn...look at that....so sexy"says Nina whose attention is solely fixed on lovers showing affection and acting romantic toward each other. "Look at what?"Says Jane who was trying to figure out what it was that was making her friend trip. "The lovers ofcourse...just look at the romantic scene"she says blushing "Stop looking at them like that before they see you which will in turn make them uncomfortable". "I don't care"says Nina,a beau
"What do you mean Nina?"shouted Jane . She had received a call from Ken her ex boyfriend that Nina had broken up with him. On hearing everything he said over the phone,she immediately made straight to Nina's house to confront her. "What do you mean by what do I mean?.You of all people know how much I love Henry." "Who is this Henry guy?.The guy you met at the beach. Now tell me,did your Henry call you after exchanging contact with him?.Did he?''.Jane enraged with fury asked her. "He did not but I did and guess what?.It turned out fine. Finer than I expected. Aren't you supposed to be happy for me Jane?" "Happy over what?.It's not like you and the Henry guy are dating anyway .You just met this guy and you are taking him seriously in this manner. Babe you are insane I swear to God". "Call it whatever you wanna call it. I have made my choice".she was alre
The sound of the birds chirping at the trees blessed the atmosphere,the distant happy screams and laughter of kids playing and the sun smiling at every creature within it's reach. It was a Saturday,Henry had taken Jane to the park for sight seeing. They walked together for awhile. While Jane was enjoying the view and having the fun of her life,Henry was staring at her.He had something he wanted to say to her but he felt the words he was about to say weren't constructed well enough for her to hear. Jane noticed his absence in the conversations that she brought up countless times then she paused and looked at him. He was indeed not present. She decided to converse with him. "I noticed you have been quiet since we got here"she said. "It's really nothing. I brought you out here to have fun". "And I am not. So how about that?. "I am sorry"he said with his face downwards. She knew that something wasn't right and wanted to find
It was night already and Henry thought for it to be a perfect opportunity to get Jane to know his house. " It's time for you to know my house"Henry said. " Really?"she was excited to hear that from him. " Yeah...you are my woman now and it's only right for you to know where I stay". " Okay so is it your family house or your own house?" She asked " Not my family house. My house. I will take you there whenever you want to. Or do you wanna go there now?" " No not yet. Let's go to your house" she smiled. " You are always beautiful. Your smile is everything". She could only smile more. Few minutes later,they got to his house. Henry's house was a magnificent building.It was a house made of glass,the corners were painted in white. The floors were made with marble It had a pool,and a small field. It was a beautiful house for a bachelor. Jane on seeing the house couldn'
