Chapter Five 

Jemima's POV 

I got back to sleep after he left only to wake up with the sound of the doorbell. "Stop ringing the doorbell..." I pleading before shoving a pillow over my face hope it would stop.But it seemed the person on the door was persistent. I staggered trom the bed, cursing the person on the door beneath my nose. When I walked in into the living room, I begun to look around and forgot Someone was at the door.

There was a huge photo of a soaring eagle, glamorous  chandelier, coffered ceiling, classy black sofas  was busy looking around when I heard the doorbell again. Sweet Lord, I forgot.I face-palmed myself."Who is it?" I asked, my hand already on the door knob 

"It's the pizza yoU ordered." I twisted the door knob and opened it.

"Here is your pizza!" He offered me a half smile.

"Thank you..."

"My tip?"

"I don't have any tip." I slammed the door on his face.I placed the pizza box on the table and continued looking around. Theld held one of the elegant and richly textured grey throw pillow and it was so soft.why does he need a luxurious duvet for? And the matching grey soft rug.damn it feels so smooth and ticklish under my feet.

Stop right there, did he have black and grey striped drapes?I have always wanted to own one.Lucky guy,never thought blending grey and black would look so good.Vee should know about this.She should see where her bestfriend spent the night.Where can my phone be? I looked around the room I was in and found it charging on the nightstand.lt was off. 

I know Josh and Vee must be worried sick.I switched on the phone and just as predicted twenty missed calls from Vee,Josh and Surprisingly Jayjay.  "Hello bestfriend?" I said excitedly when she picked up.

"Where are you short woman? Do you know how Josh and Jayjay are worried sick?" 

"Let me video call you, you won't believe what happened to me last night. " 

"I want to know everything.Details from A to z"

"Calm you titties woman, let me call Josh and Jayjay tirst then get back to you..." After I was done lying to my brothers that had taken a break and went to stay at our cousin Anita's place, I facetimed Vee.

"Sweet holy waters, where are you short woman?"Her mouth was wide open.

"How is the living room?" 

"You haven't told me where you are"  After narrating to her the whole story, she still couldn't believe I kissed Mr.Handsome.

"My little girl is growing up. you mean you kissed a stranger." She fanned her eyes, faking a sob.

"I was heartbroken Vee and he was there to offer a shoulder.Anyway let's check around the house" The bathroom just had a cabinet full of towels and bathrobes, a faucet anda walk inn shower. The room I slept in was also simple..A bed, nightstand, a mounted 32' inches TV.closet and nothing extraordinary about the bathroom.The kitchen was equipped with all modern appilances.

"Wait, what is his name again?l need to find out more about him" Vee suggested.

"His delivery receipts says Drake  but I don't know the second name.

"Okay let me search for all the Drakes then you can tell me who is your prince charming" I nodded wordlessly. All the pictures, she sent me none of them looked like him.

"Short woman, what if he is a terrorist.You said he loks like a mixed race, Egyptian or even an Eritrean.Vee said frowning but I didn't care.

"I don't think so.He is so sweet and

charming, don't think he would harm a fly." defended him.I opened the door to the last room and almost collapsed.

"Vee, look?" I showed her the room and she screamed.. " Want to come to where you are,can't be the only one dealing with the landlord.I want Some vacation too."

"Stop being a crying baby.l can't believe someone is living the life we are praying for.Life is so unlucky.

"And unfair.He is handsome and probably rich.You are so lucky Jemimaa."  I didn't even answer her back, the room had left me speechless.By the look of it, it was the Cute eyes' bedroom,  Iam sure waking up in this bedroom would be like waking up inside a warm cloud.I felt like the silvery gray carpet was practically begging for my bare feet and the glass windows gave the perfect view to see our beautiful city.Some people are very lucky.

I walked into the room inside his bedroom which I bet was the bathroom.The bathroom in my house is so small that can't fit two people and ironically his bathroom was the size of my sitting room or even bigger.  I diligently stepped on the black gloss tiles as I looked around,who was painting in their bathrooms?

"Wait a moment, is this his bathroom?Vee yelled and dragged my attention back to her.l had forgotten we were face timing.

"Yes Vee, it's the size of our sitting roomn or even bigger.what if he is married?He can't live in such big classy apartment alone" I  felt sadness weighing me down by the thought of him being married.

"Who cares, live life for the time you are there.So when are you coming back to ghetto?Or you will never come back" She teased me.

"As soon as my ankle feels better, it hurts a little..."I bathe using a basin and a jug and this guy gets to have a walk in shower and a bathtub that  was a spa-like bathroom But I love the decor used in the bathroom.It was a bit darker than most walls and giving the bathroom a romantic look.

"We will talk later Vee." I disconnected the call even before she could say anything. limped back to the living room and noticed had not seen a custom bar cabinet.Drake who are you?You seem so young yet you have such an expensive apartment. Or are you an assassin?But who would want me dead?l have nothing under my name apart from my ID and birth certificate.

"Jemimaa live like a queen." | poured myself some wine and walked back to his room.I stood by the glass window and felt peaceful just looking at how beautiful our city is. I was doing just fine until depressing thoughts begun taking over my mind.

You are here looking happy, have you forgotten you were dumped.You haven't paid rent and the business is not doing wel.You should be stressed not happy. I felt anxiety so raw on my skin. Yes, Kane dumped me and Iam so broke,why am ismiling? I should be crying.

I unlocked my phone and went to my gallery where I  looked at our photos together.We looked happier, where did things go wrong?  Tears begun dripping from my eyes and I didn't care to wipe them away, downed my wine ad closed my eye He betrayed my love and his actions proves he loves no one else than himself.

"I deserve better.He is a jerk..He broke me" Every memory of us tore me apart,the pain and anger ripped my soy l out. I did everything for him to be happy but he left anyway.Funny thing, I miss him and want him back.Maybe I should call him...

I dialled his number and crossed my fingers as it rang.

"Hey puppy, how are you?"I whispered 

"I am good Jemima"

"Is there no way we can forget what happened?l really miss you." I sobbed and there was long silence from him.

"Just move on Jemima, you will get another puppy, don't think I can do this..."

"Fine to hell with you!I will never call you again..."l cussed out ad disconnected the call.For a moment I felt like I could rip my heart out and squeeze this immense love I feel for him from it.

I limped back to the living room and took a whole bottle of red wine.I needed to be drunk and forget my sorrows tor a moment. I stood on top ot the sofa and played some music on my phone. begun hoarsely singing along, my cheeks becoming wet with tears.I tried to dance to the sad heartbreakin songs.

You're everything I thought you never we're And nothing like I thought you could've been But still you live inside of me So tell me, how is that? You're the only one I wish I could forget .The only one I love to not forgive And though you break my heart You're the only one On the realisation, it wasn't soothing me at all.I removed the t-shirt I was wearing and limped to Amy's room. I removed the bandage and waited for the bathtub to be filled with water. As soon as it was tull, I got in still listening to my sad songs and begun gulping down the bottle of wine...
