I stared at Mia as she wandered from the bed to the wardrobe, arranging the room properly. I really wanted to speak with her, but she was doing one thing or the other. It seemed like she was purposely ignoring a conversation with me, and it was crazily affecting me. I wasn't getting myself at all!
When we had breakfast, she didn't state anything to me. She only served my food, and got back into the room. I didn't even have the chance to ask her whether she had eaten or not. She was only being coldish.
She turned to me, and immediately averted. She probably made a mistake by doing that. Her coldness couldn't last forever after all. I needed to do something. She was obviously hurt that I didn't fulfill my promise. I had to stop all of this.
I stood from the bed, and hesitated before walking to her.
"Hey Mia." I finally spoke, as I stood in her front.
She folded he
Mia slowly left my arm, still staring confusingly at me, as she turned to stand in my front, which somewhat obstructed Emily from seeing me."What's going on Ace? I'm not sure I understand anything she's saying." She furrowed her brows at me, and waved her hands in the air, to clearly express that she was confused.I heaved out in fear, and moved forward to stroke the skin of her arms. "Mia. You'll have to try to listen to me." I said, trying to jerk her out of her confused self."I'm listening to you. I didn't even argue about anything. I only asked you a question." She averred, as she hit my grip off her arms. "I just need to understand what's going on. I'm not asking for anything more." She mentioned with a great deal of seriousness.I had no idea of how to begin a conversation with her. I didn't even know what to tell her, or how to tell her I knew nothing about how it hap
I stepped slowly into the room, and steered my neck around, to view the sporadic place further. Seeing how the place was, I didn't think there was any chance for me to speak with her. Her red eyes alone almost scared me to death. I had no idea of how I could calm her down. I however expected her to feel so horrible, cause that wasn't the first time she was heartbroken.As I stepped closer, I halted for a while and inhaled deeply. Sincerely, it was the first time I'd ever feel so scared of a human in my entire life. It seemed like I was about to encounter the Lord.I stood about three feets away from her, and stared at her swollen eyes. It looked like she had cried her eyes out. I didn't have anything to say, but I needed to do something. I continued to walk to her, and sat on the bed space beside her.She didn't make any movement and also didn't refrain from looking at the floor, crazily jerking the bed
I sobbed softly as I plodded down the stairs, and sniffed to stop the mucus in my nose from dripping. I didn't know where I was going, but all I knew was, I didn't want to have Ace close at all. He was more than disgusting in my sight.I stepped into the living room and turned my neck left and right, in search of the bitch who caused my marriage to scatter. That was it. It was Emily I needed to see. She the one I felt like venting my frustration on.I panted heavily and tightened my fingers into a fist, when I discovered that she was no where close. But still, I was somewhat sure that Ace could never let her go home alone. Especially the fact that she was carrying his long needed heir.A thud sounded from Ace's study region, causing me to jerk my neck to the sound in a rush. She was definitely going to be the one. I was sure of it. And also, there was no one in the building excluding the three of us.&nb
It was already six in the morning. For some reason, I woke up really early and wasn't willing to go back to bed. I guessed it was somewhat due to the stress I was observing. It wasn't good for my health, but I cared less.Seriously, I knew nothing about how to confirm if the crap, Emily, was truly pregnant for Ace. I had a rough night thinking about that. The steps to take on getting the idiot eliminated from my life was really unknown. My skull was empty at the moment. I knew I needed rest, have I didn't wanna have any. All the shit needed to end first.I gently stood from the bed, and turned to Ace who was snoring like an innocent animal. All of it was fake! He was equally guilty as that idiot.I hissed and stomped into the bathroom. Since everyone was still asleep, I could use that as an opportunity to talk to that idiot. And as well, I didn't want mom to overhear our conversation in any way.
I bit my fingers as I thought deeply on what to decide. It was a really great deal for me. My mind doubted it but my heart kept stating that my answer was directly in front of me. It was quite infuriating, but I had no choice but to meditate."Hesitation" was the only thing that rang in my mind. I was actually going to end up being hurt if I discovered that I had to leave Ace, and he actually wasn't the real father of the pregnancy. And also, I was equally going to be hurt if I discovered that Ace was the real father of the child. Gosh! I was overly perplexed.I jerked my neck in annoyance, and walked to the front of the building. I sat on one of the tiny steps in the entrance, and stared at the beautiful moon. That was exactly how I ever wished my life to be. To be shiny like that.After thinking deeply, I finally decided to follow the idiot. Hearing her speak to someone like that over the phone, was a great
I stared at Ace boiling and cold eyes as I quaked like an animal that was about to be slaughtered. Since we started to live as a couple, I thought I was never going to be scared of him again. I expected everything to be as fine as it was supposed to be. I didn't know my problems only got started.I felt terrible that Ace was annoyed, but I felt more terrible knowing that he actually thought of me in that manner. He didn't even give me a chance to express myself. All he could do was holler like he was going to die if he didn't do that. So disgusting. ***I swallowed hard, and couldn't think of anything to do. If he hit me, I wasn't going to be surprised, because I was almost sure he was about to do that. He looked like he was gonna explode in a really short while. Apology didn't seem like it was going to work at the point. But, I seriously couldn't let him boil
MIAI watched as Ace spoke to the doctor about conducting a pregnancy test for Emily. I didn't expect him to be so adamant on wanting her to confess. I somewhat felt like he didn't believe me, but I wasn't willing to conclude on that. He wanted to consult a DNA test at first, but the doctor said it couldn't be done if she wasn't up to seven weeks pregnant.He shook the doctor's hand, then asked him to sit on the divan. Taking a turn, he walked to me, coating his lips with a hard smile. "Hi sweetie," he greeted as soon as he was in front of me, dropping a soft kiss on my neck.I returned his smile, raised my legs to reach his neck length. "I'm fine. What did the doctor say?""Well, he said there's no big deal in conducting a test. I also asked him to bring all his important equipment here. That's it," he explained. "Ok."Grabbing my waist, he tugged me closer to him, playing with the hem of my hair. "I've seriously missed your tiny body. I can't wait to have a taste of it tonight."I
MIAGetting ready to sleep, I slipped on a red silky thigh length gown, leaving my hair to fall above my shoulder, and then, I stepped out of the closet. Ace who was on his laptop, glimpsed at me, and turned back to what he was doing.I couldn't explain why I felt so scared and terrible about how Emily left our house. She seemed to look more dangerous as she threatened us. I was not the only one she hated anymore, she also wanted revenge on Ace, for not liking her back. She was really scary. Seriously scary.I turned to my side of the bed, and slowly sat on it. Ace still didn't say anything to me. He was probably hurt to see how evil his best friend turned out to be. Maybe he needed some time to get over it. It wasn't going to be nice to speak to him in his moody state. He could end up cursing at me.I slowly lied down, and strecthed my hands to turn off the side lamp, when a

ACE"Daya and Ace." A voice called from behind.I twirled to face who it was, and turned back to wink at Daya. She smiled like she was shy, and her cheeks turned tomato red."Stop that Ace." She blushed, and gently hit against my arm. "You're making me feel weird."I smiled stylishly at her, and stood up from sitting beside her. "I'll be leaving now." I informed her, and winked again."Good." She said, remaining in her sitting posture.I bent a little, and dropped a kiss on her cheek. "Bye dear. See you anytime soon.""Bye." She grinned back at me."Good luck on your date." I added silently, still bending to her ear."Thank you." She replied in a whisper.I turned to the door, and smiled at the young adult my seventeen years
"Common Ace." I pouted like a child as I sat beside him on the bed, and tucked my arms across my chest, frowning slightly at him.He rolled on the bed lazily, and rubbed his hands against his sleepy eyes. "Mia…" He called amidst a soft yawn. "I'm so tired. Let me sleep for one more hour.""You want to sleep right?" I cried, and shifted to the corner of the bed. "Fine. I'll leave you here."I was about to stand up when he held my hands and pulled me back to him, causing me to gasp and fall on his chest."Where are you going kitten?" He teased, forming a smile by the corner of his attractive lips.I continued to frown, and averted from staring into his eyes. "I told you to get up, and you're ignoring me." I complained.He raised his left hand to my face, and turned my jaw to look at him again. "I'm so sorry my princess. I've been
Waiting for an answer from her, I stared and did nothing. I wondered what she was planning to say. There was no excuse she could sputter anymore. Her lie was definitely the most stupid thing I had ever heard from anyone.While I searched for some things about her, I saw my picture, my mom's, and our wedding pictures. I seriously couldn't explain how she had them with her, but all I knew was that I was so glad I found it.A tear dropped from one of her eyes, making her to suddenly avert from our stare. I wish I could feel how hurt she was. Her husband literally sent her out of her home because he couldn't believe her. I was indeed a foolish guy.She sniffed, and rubbed her palm against her tearing eyes, still not looking at me. "What do you want?" She asked calmly, concentrating on the window as if I wasn't there.Her weak voice weakened me as well. I became so rueful and sorrowful,
I stared at her in confusion. She was only hardening my pain. What was she asking? Was she trying to joke around or something?"What's going on, Mr?" She questioned sharply, tapping my hands from her arms.I furrowed my brows in a great deal of puzzlement, and held her arms again."Can't you speak?" She caught me out of my thoughts. "You first came into the ladies restroom, and now you're calling me Mia. What's with you?""What's wrong with you Mia? Are you…" I tried to speak again."Hey." She retorted, jerking from my hold, and raising a finger to point it in my face. "Don't try to act smart dude. I know what you guys do. You come to poor ladies like us, and try to hook up with us for a night.""Hook up? What's wrong with you Mia?""I should be asking you that. Mister." She attacked my words immediately. "And yeah, who
"Hey Mr Norman." One of the representatives of a really great company in Fort Myers, walked to me, smiling broadly like he just won a lottery. His bright eyes glowered in his wrinkled dark skin, making him seem so appealing.I tried to return his smile, as I walked towards him before he reached me. "Hi Mr Balogun." I greeted him."It's really nice to see you again." He stretched his hands for a handshake, still keeping his smile.I accepted his friendly handshake. "Same here. How have you been?""I've been doing so great." He replied enthusiastically in his luring African intonation. "It's just that I've been quite busy in my country, Nigeria. I haven't had time to work here in the states.""Oh. I get you." I nodded my head in acceptance. "And thanks for your great proposal in the meeting.""You're highly welcome." He grinned, and raised his hands
I clinged my cold fingers against each other and breathed in heavily to hide my fear. What if he was actually being serious? What if his crazy anger was permitting him to do something stupid again? That couldn't be possible. Ace loved me."You won't leave?" He disconnected me from my thoughts. From his serious and angry look, It seemed like he was actually being serious.I frowned a bit, trying to let him realize he was talking to me. "Wait Ace. Are you nuts? How can you tell me to leave you? Do I look like junk that you can throw into the trash can whenever you want?""I give you exactly five minutes to leave. I'll send your clothes to wherever you go." He mentioned pointedly, still panting heavily.I folded my arms across my chest in surprise. Was he that annoyed that he thought of something this stupid?"Tell me now." I said. "Where would I go? I know you're
ACEI waited impatiently in front of the door my mom was, wandering about like a confused person I persently was, and prayed so badly that nothing was going to happen to her.Unknowingly glimpsing at Mia, I observed that she seemed so worried like I was. So annoying. She was the mastermind behind everything that was happening.Earlier, I was really grateful to myself for having to tell her, but after everything that had happened, the only things that filled my heart were regrets. If I had known she would spill it out, I wouldn't have thought of saying anything to her.I turned from her irritating face, and finally stood in a particular position. My worry rate was increasing rapidly, and wasn't willing to fall at all. Goodness knew if I was going to survive if I saw the only person I loved, leave me. That couldn't happen. Nothing was going to happen to her.
We stepped into the hospital building, staring helplessly like a bunch of lost sheeps. The place was so big and fabulous that I didn't think my senses could locate any place.Not wasting any more time, I dailed Ace's number, and waited for him to answer his phone."Where are you?" He questioned straight as he picked it."What's wrong Ace?" I tried to figure out the shit that got into him."Answer me first." He ordered, in more like a menace. This guy was running amok. I was sure of it. So unstable like a twirling kite.I rolled my eyes over the phone, trying to ignore his annoying act. "I'm on the first floor of the building. Where do I--""Good. I'll send someone to direct you up here." He interrupted, hanging up the call liked he had done before.Slowly, his attitude was starting to affect me we
