Mokunfayo Badmus:
As I followed a kinda stout but short guy with a bizarre name and a cast on his arm to the suite I was so glad to leave less than four hours ago, I tried to wrap my head around what'd happened earlier.
Mike had saved me, the second time in like twenty four hours. Before he had saved my dignity –which I was ungrateful for– and now he'd put his life on the line to save mine, after I defied him and escaped his prison, which was now a safer place than the public.
I had thought he was being overbearing and inconsiderate when he wanted to keep me for a little longer but now that I knew I was a fugitive and he only wanted me to stay hidden and be safe, I felt stupid.
I had not only disobeyed him, I had also put him in harm's way.
I know disobey is a strong word for what I did but that wasn't the point at the moment, he was hurt and I was the cause.
Sigh.
"Will he be fine?" I
Mokunfayo Badmus:I stood before a flushed, angry lord that was panting like an overworked horse. I would only be lying if I said I wasn't nervous."M–may I come in?" I stuttered with my heart in my mouth and he seemed to snap out of some sort of daze before nodding briskly.As I walked carefully towards the bed he laid on, I wished I had picked another time to visit, a time when I didn't have to face the aftermath of a ferocious argument between two proverbial elephantsThere was no proverbial grass nearby to suffer but me.Sigh.I perched on the bedside stool tentatively, fidgeting with my fingers, terribly wishing for a hole to crawl into. Then I noticed him trying to adjust his position and rushed to help. His sharp intake of air announced that I was doing what I wasn't meant to do."I–I'm so sorry, I thought you needed help," I choked out after withdrawi
Mokunfayo Badmus:Mike left for the bathroom after ordering breakfast with a clouded expression, a polar opposite of his infamous playful smirk he had on just moments ago.I could tell he also wasn't used to this whole... thing that was going on between us. It would be useless to lie to myself that I didn't feel attracted to the hot murderer in the adjoining room, however scary it was to admit it.The entire thing was scary, Richard had never calmed me down in the middle of my usual nightmares -well that was probably because I'd never slept over at his place- I'd never felt comfortable in Richard's arms to the point of craving it like I craved this man's.What is happening?! It's only been a frigging day!Well, so much had already happened from Saturday up until now, a Monday morning.And I was going to be stuck with him in the same room for God knows how long.Sigh.It wasn't going
Mokunfayo Badmus:"Fay," he breathed out in the same amount of shock I felt.He recognised me too even if my mask was still on, my eyes were all he needed. He used to tell me how he could recognise me in a million people if he saw as least as my eyes. Turned out he hadn't been joking."The police have been searching all over the place for you!" I winced at the loudness in his tone and had no choice but to drag him to a secluded area to avoid more of the curious stares that were coming my way.I removed my mask when it was just us, making him gape for a moment before regaining composure."You've been all over the news lately." A lame way to start a conversation with someone you dumped over four years ago because she was raped. But I nodded all the same."What happened? I don't believe a word of what the media is saying." He said and suddenly encased me in a bone crushing bear hug. If I didn't know better,
Mokunfayo Badmus:I was still beyond surprised when I regained consciousness after what felt like days. But more than astonishment, I felt even more confusion.Mike wouldn't shoot me just for throwing him a birthday party even if he abhorred birthdays. There had to be some other reason.There had to be.Stop acting like you've known him all your life Mokunfayo Badmus! You've only known him for a few days. Snap out of delirium!Sigh.I finally decided to pay attention to my dressing and surroundings. I was wearing a blue hospital gown and in a room similar to the one I'd visited him in the night before, just a little bit smaller. Nothing interesting about it either; lean bed, white walls, bedside stool, single loveseat ...Trigger was asleep on the single loveseat. I was guessing he would at least put me out of my misery and explain what on earth
Mokunfayo Badmus:It was nearing the end of the day for me;
Mokunfayo Badmus:I already knew the day was going to be a long one before.
My eyes narrowed dangerously at the shitty smirk on her face after recovering from the shock of how I looked.The bitch knew how much I hated her near my things, yet she pulled out this stunt to rile me up or what?
Déjà vu!A little over four years ago David had proposed after a dinner date as well. I was wearing a black dress too, everyone shouted 'surprise' upon my arrival to my favorite park too. I remembered the song that was playing in the background now was the same song that softly filled the air all those years ago and Davi
