In the midst of her confusion,Irene bumped into her Ex lover Charles Davenport. She quickly hide herself over the next shelf in the supermarket pushing down some beverages from the shelves.

“Is this a dream, What!!, really, Charles?”,she kept repeating the same words over and over.

Amongs the people Irene cherished the most was Charles Davenport, a young talented business man who had so many business ideas but less sponsors,he knew Irene at a very tender age, they became more intimate at high school where they shared their first kiss ,and yeah they were the then famous prom king and queen at Saint Hills Academy. Charles traveled out of Spain to the states to pursue his business Career.

On her attempt to look at her surprising Ex lover ,she fell over .

“Ouch”.Irene yelled out as she pulled out her sneakers , holding her foot

“Irene! is that you?”. Charles said looking surprisingly at Irene.

Irene quickly grabbed her groceries and headed out of the supermarket without looking at Charles. Charles ran after her until he finally got a hold of her arms.

“Irene! Please hear me out, am really sorry for all this years, for keeping you waiting, I came back from the states yesterday,I quickly rushed to the supermarket to get you more stuffs I came back with.”Charles said staring affectionately into Irene's eye.

It was all like a nightmare, wasn't she the one that told Antiono about Charles that

left her for 15years, and now his back!, what was actually happening.

She kept staring into Charles eye, he looks so different,more proformed, handsome and all that.

“Irene, baby ,I miss you, that's why I came for you, for us , please give me a second chance.”Charles said as he gave Irene a kiss on the hand

His tone sounds so different now more of a lover boy, Irene thought as she moved her hands away from him .

“All this years Charles, fifteen freaking years, and now you come out of the blues to say this shit to my face huh?”.Irene said as she looked into Charles eye .

“Look Charles am sorry buh we!,they’s no we anymore,I moved on a long time ago.”Irene said as she moved towards Antiono’s car

Irene got into the car she felt so tensed that she didn't notice Antiono's presence

“Is everything Alright?”. Antiono asked as he shifted Irene’s hair with his hands.

“Yh ,am fine,are you alright,am sorry for keeping you waiting”. Irene said as she looked at Antiono with a sad face.

“What's the matter,did anyone hurt you?,is it the cashier?, just say something or I would go over there and shut down that supermarket”.Antiono said as he searched deeply with his eyes for any barest hint of information .

“Am fine Antiono”.Irene said as tears started flowing freely down her cheeks,she started crying out deeply.

Antiono hasn't felt the pain burning up his chest for a long while,he felt like going into the supermarket and punching every body he comes across , every single tears from Irene’s eye felt like a bomb shell to Antiono. When he realized he couldn't do anything he drew her closer to his chest,he held his hands on her hair.

“Please stop”. Antiono said as he looked up at the roof of his car. “Please”.

“All this years, after all this years”. Irene said crying deeply as she closed her eye ,tears falling freely down her cheeks.

Irene sobbed for a long period of time, Antiono understood the moment so he let her be. He was burning,He was aching, He wasn't himself,why her of all people,why her?,he kept on asking himself.

Antiono drove the car home, it was already late , he carried Irene into the house,the kids were already in bed thanks to Mabel.

Mabel prepared hot bathing water for Irene. Feeling the aches all over her body Irene couldn't stand up,she felt pains all over her face. Antiono noticed it he couldn't leave her that way.

“Mabel get me a towel and a bowl of warm water”. he yelled as he looked at Irene ,he didn't know if he wanted to leave Irene alone or if he wanted to just go over and hold her tight , either way he wanted to be with her.

“It's fine, it’s okay”.he said as he stared into Mabel's worried eyes, “Thanks”.

He headed straight to Irene's room, Irene laid down on the sofa still sobbing. He didn't care anymore,he was going to do what he wanted to do, he went straight to Irene starring at her for few seconds

“I know am not in any position to ask this,but is the problem worth you suffering yourself like this”.He bent down taking Irene’s hands into his Palms , rubbing the warm soaked towel on her neck.

“Please open up to me,I would do everything within my power to protect you,I know am not perfect but I would die protecting you, please love”.he said as he flexed his hands on Irene’s face

Irene looked up at him ,she saw the pains in his eyes,she saw what she did to him,she felt more miserable.

“I rather not talk about it now”Irene said releasing her hands from him

“Why me duo?”. Irene asked as she stared at thin air

“What?”. Antiono asked surprised at the questions

“Why do you love me,why do you keep treating me like someone special to you am just an ordinary housekeeper”. Irene asked not starring at anyone in questions.

Heaving a deep sigh , Antonio moved closer to Irene's back,he lifted her curled hair away from her back as he gave her a deep massage. She released his hands from her back as she stood up

“Are you dating me to leave me and run away,are you doing all this things just to break my heart at the end”. Irene yelled as she looked into Antiono's eye

Antiono feeling confused and scared held Irene’s hands

“I can't leave you Irene, even if you don't want me anymore,I still love”.Antiono said as he stood up,he drew Irene closer to his chest.

“I met him”. Irene said as she breathed heavily

“Who's that?”. Antiono said staring into Irene’s eye

“Charles Davenport, my Ex, his back”.The words hit Antiono like a greenaode

“He said he wants me back”. Irene stared at Antiono

Irene releasing herself from Antiono sat on the floor.

Antiono stood at his position for a long period of time he heaved a deep sigh as he turned towards the door,he pulled the handle of the door as he stood still

“Am sorry for rushing things , the choice is yours to make not mine, good night Irene”. He said as he left the room .

Irene sobbed all through the night,she remembered all the moments she had with Antiono,all the promises they made together.

That night Antiono made up his mind to FIGHT for the love he had ,he was willing to face

this Charles Davenport with full force,he wasn't letting go of Irene ,not now not ever.
