I removed the blanket over me, flinging it across the room. His words kept repeating in my head and I couldn't hear anything other than that.
He called me a desperate woman! I felt ashamed I let him touch me easily after the promise I made to myself. I felt ashamed because I didn't think that it could be a plan, I felt ashamed because I proved him right. I felt ashamed because I enjoyed his kisses and mostly I felt ashamed because i was ready to give him all of me.
I wasn't desperate of any man's touch, although I loved when he touched me but desperate? I wasn't.
He was the one who left me for his girlfriend, he abandoned me and didn't for once consider me. I felt stupid wondering how all this situa

Steven's point of ViewMy eyes followed Naomi whilst she walked into the room, taking her sit. My conscience has been pricking me since I saw those tears in her eyes on Saturday night.I regretted saying those words to her and I regretted doing what I did. I felt stupid and immature for going through extreme means to prove my point.The look she gave me and the words she said to me burn through deep into my heart like a blazing fire.I couldn't think of any other things than looking for means to get her forgiveness. I was confused and disappointed at my behavior and how rash i was handling the matters.It was unusual of me to lash out so quick and say bitter words to people although I do that but to people I know, it was rare.I regretted my statement and I was hurt too. My heart ached and I knew it was because of her.

Steven's point of viewI loved the feeling I felt when I saw the way he looked at me. What a piece of scumbag!I clenched my fist, thinking of the right words to say to him. Didn't he call me a cheat? What was he doing now if not cheating?I felt a stung in my heart, Naomi didn't deserve all this. I was never a good man for her and the man she got as a boyfriend wasn't good for her too."You?" He called out in shock, his eyes widened.I smirked, "Yes, it's is I," I replied.I clapped my hands together. "Surprised to see me?" I asked.

Naomi's point of viewI was supposed to hate Steven like I said but my heart was doing otherwise.I sat down at the living room watching the television but my mind obviously wasn't paying attention to any of the things said by the characters.Why was I expecting him home? Maybe he was with Marenda? But I felt something bad could have happened to him.I was hating this part of me for caring. I didn't want to see his face yesterday but today my mood swinged.I was hurt by what he did on Saturday, he broke me and brought back memories of my mother.

Steven's point of viewPhillip deep voice baffled me. I wondered what I said wrong? Maybe I had said so many wrong things."You don't know what you want man! You have a girlfriend you like and won't let her go and then you have a wife and you freak and flare up when you see her with another man, like what do you even want?!" Phillip spat out.I was scared for a moment. The way he spoke send chills down my spine. He was right, I was confused and I didn't know what I wanted.I swallowed the lump in my throat, I suddenly craved for alcohol. "You think this women heart are toys which you can play with, break the

Steven's point of viewI walked back to my hotel room, i unlocked the door and walked in. I was exhausted and felt the urge to fall into a deep sleep.Thinking of work, I still have to go home first to get clothes before going to work. I went against that plan and decided to shop first and then go to work from there.I didn't have enough courage to face Naomi just yet. I saw the tempting bed inviting me and i fell down flat on the bed, with thoughts wandering my mind.I thought of Marenda, ever since I got married, it was as if we grew more distant from one another, the only time she called was when she neded money urgently.I remembered she was the one who encouraged me into getting married saying we would be together but the opposite has been happening.I thought of Naomi, I thought of the tears and pain I saw in her eyes

I have fallen for Naomi in a way that I couldn't feel anything for Marenda again.My heart was beating fast in a way I couldn't control, as if it wanted to come out of my chest.I walked out of Marenda's house hearing none of the words she was saying while pulling me back towards her. I didn't understand myself neither did I understand my feeling.I felt guilty and bad. Maybe it was because I hurt Naomi that was why I was been haunted. I needed to make things right, when I make things right with Naomi, maybe things will go back to normal."The moment you leave me

I knew he had a girlfriend but the moment I saw all he did for my forgiveness, I knew my feelings for him was back.I cleared my throat after drinking the water in my glass cup, I was going to ask him why he did all of this."Thank you for the food, but I'm curious to know why you had to go through this much for me," I asked him. Within me I was curious, i wanted to know, to find out why. I bit my lips waiting patiently for him to speak, my eyes blinking as if waiting for him to speak

Naomi's point of view.It was past four in the morning when I woke up. Once my eyes landed on the alarm clock, I tried sitting down on the bed. I was extremely tired from last night.I tried getting up from the bed but winced in pain. "Ouch!" I cried out. My core was hurt. I sat back down on the bed trying to calm my nerves as memories of last night resurfaced making me blush.I finally did the deed! My heart sank when I thought of my plans to leave him.He only treated me well because I was hurt, he doesn't like me. He was only sympathizing with me and trying to be the husband he should be. In as much as I felt pain, last night was one of the best one of my life.

Unlike charges 48~ Explanation
Naomi's point of viewI didn't ask for the life I was given. No one would proudly ask for a sad and bad life. I had dreams too and like every other humans, I also wished I had a whole family, a family to care for me, a family to love me and a family I could count on.I wanted a life different from the one I was given, I wanted a life where my bed were full of roses. I wanted a life where I smiled more than cry.I lived with my single mother who struggled hard to provide the necessities for the both of us, I was contented with that life, I did not complain, in fact I'd choose that life over this one now.Then she died, breaking my heart into a million pieces, shattering all my hopes. My dreams came crashing in front of me, my mother was indispensable to me but God knew best.That wasn't all, then my father came into the picture, it would have been nice if it was just him al
