"Good to have you back",Joelle-lucia's bestie said pulling her into a tight hug š¤."El,do you have time today. Let's have donner at ur favourite place." I was glad to be back as well but thinking of going back home to that empty house gives me heartache. "Coming to think of it,have you thought of a way to get Kimi back. Ain't you scared he will never return " El asked. " How does that got to do with me,herh? Kimi is a full grown man so if he want to find someone out there,who am I to stop him..."I replied. "I'm just giving you heads up incase..." but I shut her up." OK sure. Have you seen that nice guy from my department. He's so cool."she asked me. " Yh, I saw a guy like that but dunno if it's same person . " If not that I'm married, we might be in the same hostel but then life happens. "Our date stands, right?" I asked. She wrapped her hands over my shoulders,"of course. I'll bring along ur fav boy so the bill will be on him"
āāāāāā”ā”ā”ā”ā”
At exactly 6pm,I was done with my makeup and dress. It took our fav boys, Johnsons , almost an hour to my house. Jackson actually took us to Norms-a five star restaurant- opened recently.
"Jackson, so you know I was actually planning to come here one of these days."I said while puking him on the shoulder. "Of course, I knew you would've loved to see this place." He replied leading us to the room.
The whole date thing was lovely even with the unplanned guest. The food was excellent, the juice š„¤ I had was on point,100% natural( at least it was almost),and the chicken, mmmm so crisps and mouth watering. In all we had fun.
"Chale, I fit meet ma guys for next door" John said. Then he turned to us,"Girls, see you another time. Jackson will take you home. I'm having a dinner just next door " "Jo, you owe me one. Don't forget. "I said audibly so that he won't refute later.
"Jack's, mind if I come for sleep over. My .. I mean Kimi won't be home and I remembered you ones invited me?" I was actually waiting for a yes cuz I don't want my mind wondering about when Kimi will return home. "Ermm ",he said biting his head,"I don't think is possible..now because ... " " please, pleaseeeee, I'll behave and I won't trouble ur girlfriend . You know I'm very calm, please. "I kept on pushing my lucky. I even tried the puppy eyes š¶. "Sure, but inform your man. I don't think you want to be on his wrong side again. "
"Don't mind this dummy š. My place is available, she just want your attention." El joked." Of course I want his attention as always. He's been giving me cold shoulders since he heard about Kimi and I." I complained. "Ooo my! My baby girl is so clingy. She can't live without me", Jack joked.
When I finally made it home, it was around 12am. I thought Auntie May will be fast asleep so I tried to sneak in. After all I didn't want to disturb her peaceful sleep. Fortunately, it worked and I got to my room. After all the exhaust from school, I went straight to have my bath and felt quite good. I jumped right into bed without a care in the world. Unbeknownst to me, Kim had returned today and was watching me from our joint balcony. That night, I had a long dream and PK and I were back together.
I woke up all smily. I couldn't hide my joy,I had missed him so much that I was starting to hate Kim for coming into the picture. If it hadn't been for this marriage, PK and I might have found our way back to each other. Thinking about Kim was even useless, my sunny mood was becoming gloomy. Enjoying the soothing sunlight was my favourite and I didn't hesitate to move to the balcony. Slowly I felt warm under the sun rays. It's been ages since I indulge myself.
Being clumsy wasn't my thing but for some reasons, I kept falling. I tripped in the bathhouse nearly twisting my ankle and now as I descended the stairs, I missed and nearly fell. Luckily, someone held me by the waist. I was surprised to see it was PK. "What are you doing here?",I asked him."Didn't miss me",he said drawing me into his embrace. I lifted my head and our eyes met,those silver-grey hair always had a way of calling me. It had the luxurious glow with silky surface and smooth to touch. He had me under his spells again. I couldn't look away yet I couldn't keep up with him, his gaze had always been intense as if he could burn me whole. But ever since he came, he wasn't as reserved as before,he was proactive and there is that aura I couldn't pinpoint. Sometimes he gives off this nonchalant, lazy vibe and other times,he's imposing.
He was clearly aware of where we are but he still cornered me just to steal a kiss from me. I wanted to pull away but the more I move the more he deepens the kiss. I was so scared; what if someone sees us and tells Kim, he won't spare me. He let go when he realised I was out of breath. I turned to scold him but he smirked at me and whispered,"looks like someone is in for trouble. " Not giving me enough time to react, he turned me to face Kim. I was taken aback š². When did he get here or was he home yesterday? I didn't know how to face him especially after what just happened. I'm sure he saw it and I know PK being here won't help it either so I just ran downstairs, picked up my bag and ran out of the house. There was no way I'll come back any time soon.
