CHAPTER 6

"I know this is not my place to say this but..." He dragged.

"It's okay. Am all ears."

"He's just angry, give him some time he'll come around. Right now he's just disappointed." he stated.

"I know but why would he be disappointed. It just slipped my mind about telling him I was going to accompany Sam." I said.

"The person who called him am sure he was the one at fault. In Spyce Astoria, he also has enemies there. I bet they kind of hit the nerve when they delivered the message. Plus..." he dragged the last part.

"Plus what?" I asked.

"Plus the people you were in company with they are dangerous so stay away." he warned.

So bad I wanted him to elaborate more and in details but the chopper wasn't going to let me stay for a second more. I bid him bye and soon we were in air going home.

" My head hurts so bad. "Sam complained the moment she woke up.

" Meds on the counter take them. " I yelled while still in the laundry room.

" What happened. I remember seeing Harvey and.."

She looked at me sadly then closed her mouth using her palm. Her eyes still on me.

"Are you okay? Did he get angry or something? Was it that bad?"

"Sam I don't know. We had a fight in the car and he bailed out on me." I spoke as tears stung my eyes. My voice became shaky.

"Am so sorry to cause you all of these." she apologised.

"No it's okay. Maybe it was bound to happen. We both have been having issues." I said to her hoping she'd feel much better and not blame herself.

"Was that supposed to make me feel better cause it sure didn't." she complained while drying a tear that escaped from my eye.

"No worries, I'll go talk to him when he calms down."

I paused. "Oh! That reminds me, who were those dudes from last night?" I asked.

"Don't know, don't care." she stated.

The laundry machine dinged and I got in action to get my stuffs.

"What do you mean 'don't know, don't care'?" I was confused now. She chatted with them as if she was acquainted with them.

"A friend told me about them. They are rich so I kind of mingled and that was that. Then the bet came, had to get the money or else I'd spend the night with Neal."

"Thats why you insisted so much."

She nodded slightly.

"Good for you. Now you divide the money 50/50." I was dead serious now.

"No...." she pretended to cry. "Come on Bel, I did most of the talking. 60/40."she tried to bargain.

" Fine. "I agreed.

We both walked to where I usually hang my clothes for sundrying. Soon I got in action hanging them up while Sam sat watching me.

" By the way did you notice the handsome tall dangerous looking guy watching you? "she asked.

" Who are you talking about? "

" The one who sat opposite you. Guess his name was..." she dragged trying to figure out what his name was.

I was curious to know what his name could possibly be. His looks was so attractive that it gives me goosebumps every time I remember how his eyes laid on me for the briefest moment.

" Something like Aidan Christopher." she spoke.

For a while there I kept repeating his name over and over in my head.

"Bel are you listening ?"

"Yeah." I lied.

"Anyways what's for lunch am hungry."

The rest of the day went smooth but my heart ached so much. Every single word that left Harvey's mouth felt like sharp sword piercing my heart every time the words kept repeating as if it was just a second ago.

"Bel will you be okay if leave you on your own?"

"Don't worry about me. I'll go to bed early."

With that she left, leaving me by myself and my inner demons. Ten minutes later I heard the door unlocking then closed. Footsteps coming closer to me. Didn't need to look since I knew that was Sam forgetting something.

" Nadia. "I heard Harvey's voice.

" Babe. "I was do damn glad to see him.

There he was standing a step or two away from the couch I had laid on. His navy blue tax looked so fucking good on him. Guess he just got off work.

" Want me to help? "I asked standing from where I was kneeling on the couch.

" Am good. "

That simple answer already said a lot. He was still angry at me. Slowly I made my way to him, half unbutton his shirt before he stopped me as he held my palms to his chest. My eyes shifted from his chest to meet his eyes.

"I hate it when we fight and you know that." he said.

"I know."

"Don't ever make me get that angry at you. Understood?"

"I understand." I whispered.

He slightly closed the space between us before taking me by my lips. The kiss was soft and tender but it didn't last long. He cut me midway as I was trying to kindle the moment.

"Talk to me Bel, about last night."

"Nothing happened. Harvey will you stop." I tried walking away but he held me firm on my waist little closer than the previous time.

"Why are getting angry. I just want to know."

His face clearly showed how desperate he was.

"Sam called me to accompany her. She was already there when Mayfield and I got there. We just enjoyed the drinks and music. After that, that's when I saw you." I explained in details.

"Okay." he stated.

"What do you mean okay?"

"Promise me, you'll never leave without telling me."

His eyes were more dangerous than I've ever seen him be. Yah we argued a lot in the past three years but this was different. Something was not right somewhere. He was dead serious about this.

" So we good?" he asked.

I nodded.

" Nah! I need words missy."

"we are good."

He slightly smiled. That was what I had been yearning to see from him.

"Where's my smile then?"

Slightly I smiled bottling up all my tears that I couldn't hold if we argued again.
