I looked at the time, it was almost 9am in the morning. I saw the tray of breakfast beside the bed and Ohio stood staring down at me. He was all dressed in a jean and a colourful Tshirt. I couldn’t even look at his face when I remembered last night and he was trying to make me comfortable with his smile but I still feel cold inside.“Good morning beautiful. Your Dad called to check up earlier. They want to know how you are doing and I told them that you are still sleeping. We will have some more fun before driving back home. So eat some breakfast…get refreshed, dress up and let’s join your parents for some coconut and sun bath. I hope you are with your sun shade…if not then you will have to use mine. He did not mention about anything that happened last night. I hope he will never mention it because I will feel humiliated. I try to reply with a nod of head as I went to the bathroom to do every necessary. I also had my bath. I came out all dressed and had a small bite from the served
“Are you always happy when you see others unhappy? Does making others angry, bitter, sad…does it make you happy Melinda? Your lifestyle and attitude affects everyone, me…Mom and also Dad. Cole especially. Why do you spend so much strength fighting when you can do better than that? We hardly agree on anything…. always at log head and getting older and older with it. I allowed you to always have your way because I wanted to be the bigger person but hey…there is a limit I can take. You really trolled me pitifully last night, the emotional pain was far more than the blow I gave you. But I’m sorry for the damage, which was why I came. I’m sorry for punching you on your eyes but it doesn’t mean I won’t do it again if you come hard at me next time. If not for Ohio both your eyes and your mouth would have being the size of my fist right now…Melinda burst off laughing, I waited until she was done. She turned to me and said.“Do you mean what you just said? I mean you could have done worst to
We had that morning and afternoon to catch up from where we stopped last night as we gathered under a coconut tree in a beach open sky house relaxing, talking and laughing with free spirit.Cole was lively than before, Melinda sat beside him as they talked about their relationship journey, Dad also talked about him and Mom and it was all splendid.We later went inside to pack our bags. It was time to say good bye to the resort beach.All through that morning and afternoon I avoid looking over at Ohio but when we were alone in the room, he walked upto me and tries to touch but withdraw back his hand.He doesn’t really like me I guessed. He was more dedicated to his life and his woman and I’m glad all this is almost over. I will try and get over him.“Becca, about last night….I meant every word I sai…I quickly stopped him from speaking further. I was not in the mood to talk about how I messed up in front of him. I still felt cold anytime I remember that I try undressing him and almost
and I can’t cope with his nonsense attitude anymore. He is pained because he has already spent so much on the wedding plans. I guess he is also tired of me. The only thing paining him is the money he has spent which is none of my business. I’m confidence that Ohio will be a better man than Sugar. I desperately want Ohio now than ever. I guess he is not yet back but I will keep waiting until he returns. Ohio will make my life better than it was. I will declare my true love for him and make him know how much I love him. I will tell him that I ended my relationship because I wanted to be with him alone. Hello Becca, please hurry because I’m waiting for you. I won’t be able to see you tomorrow because you will be at work, so I need to see you today. That Richie…I mean Sugar is a foolish guy. Ohio is now on board….I quietly ended the call because I sincerely don’t know what to say to Jojo. I looked over at Ohio, he was concentrating on his driving and had not said anything to me ever sin
The following day I was at work, I did my usual assignment but it was filled with error.When I summited the file I was sent back to redo it.I knew what the problem is which is concentration, I wasn't concentrating. My eyes was always at the door to know when Ohio will walk in.Through out the night after JoJo left with his card I couldn't sleep.I thought of calling him within the night but waved it off.I don't know what came over me yesterday, I was very angry with him for my selfish reasons. And jealous because of his woman.There is a better way to part but not the way I went about it.I had a sleepless night because of him and today again, I just felt useless with myself and with everything.The business day was over and Ohio did not come.I was angry at everything even as I got home, I stare at my dinner angrily. No appetite or strength to lift the spoon to my mouth.I had a knock on my door and rush to check, it was an unknown face. A young man maybe in his early thirties, d
He went into my boss office and remained there till closing time.As other staffs were leaving, I was slowly packing up like a snail with the hope that Mr Ohio will be out soon.He later came out with my boss, I quickly got up with my bag. I wanted him to notice me and he did.When my boss saw me he looked over at his friend, I guess he wanted to see Ohio's reaction.Ohio acted cool and also respond to my greeting as I walked pass them.I wish he called me back or say something to me but he didn't, he continued speaking to my boss as they stepped out.I felt a little better seeing him again after some days that seems like a year.When I got to my gate, I saw Silas driving out of his own gate which was a stone throw to mine.He waved at me from his car and I waved back.He parked the car beside the road and jogged down to where I was standing, he greeted me cheerfully."I'm driving out to get some fruits, vegetables and few other things for the house. all thanks to you, I know where to
Anita brought her wedding card for me, she asked if I can be her chief brides’ maid but I have already given myself a good retirement both from catching flowers at my friend’s wedding and also from being among the brides maid.My Dad almost changed my name to “a flower girl” because I go to other people’s wedding and return with a bouquet of flower. I was never lucky to be the one in a wedding gown.Almost every of my friends are far ahead with their husbands or fiance. I’m left here with no particular man to call mine.In three months’ time I will be completing 30years. Life has dealt drastically with me but not fully because no matter how hard it get, I still try to live every day at a time, I find reason to be alive. I don’t know how long living like this will go on but I don’t think I have any choice over whatever life throws at me.We sat and talked and I brought up the case of Jojo and Richard, and asked her why she did not inform me even after she discovered about their secret
“They are really trying here with their method of preparing meal, creating a time table for each day menu. Although this salad is not close to the one Lili once brought to the office for you and I had a share from it. I couldn’t tell you but it was well prepared and garnished. Have not tasted anything like it before.The lady was not speaking to me, she was trying to create a conversation between her and Ohio. If Lili cooks so well and even brings food to his office which means Lili is his wife or wife to be.Ohio nodded his head while taking a spoonful of the coleslaw. He later wipe his mouth with a serviette tissue and sad.“Lili is a great cook, she knows how to make different dish and I have tasted almost all her new discovery because she won’t let me be until I do. Some I like while others I don’t want to try again. `The lady laugh. Ohio looked up at me, I pretend to be concentrating on my food. I wanted to get up and fly away from their presence but my legs may not be able to
