the phone that I didn’t continue listening to the voicemails I deleted everything off my phone including the messages and blocked his line.
With all these fights going on between the two of us, there is one thing I was sure of and that is Andre is never going to stop until he sees me but I am bolshie to just give in that easily and until he comes back to his normal senses I will not budge.
After that day, He came over to the house the next day and the day after that and day after that. Most times I will be at home alone and ask my room mate Rosalie to lock me in. On her way back from work she would get groceries and take outs for us to eat so I don’t have to leave the house.
He had tried calling me with different phone numbers but I am quite aware of how far he would go just to talk to me so I switched off my phone.
This silly fight lasted for two to three weeks and between those weeks, it wasn’t easy for either of us. To be honest I still love him and I miss him so much but I want to stay away from him till I believe he has accepted his mistakes and change for the better.
After some weeks of my stay at home, I received an about a job offer. I had applied for a job at a child care center to work with one of the well known pediatrician in town. I studied child psychology in college and my reason to pursue that career in life is because I Love children and I believe that I can help them be what ever they want in life.
My interview date is the next day morning, that means I will have to leave the house, Eventually. I called in to see if I could reschedule but they declined my request. This was my dream job and I want it so badly. As much as this might bring an end to my peaceful world, I had to do this.
The following morning, I dressed up for my interview. Coming out of my room I bumps into Rosalie who is about leaving for work.
“ Hey. Why are you all dressed up?”
“ I’m going for an interview.” I took a deep sigh.
“ Wait, What? Does that mean you are done hiding from your cuckoo boyfriend.”
“ Will you stop calling him crazy, I have to go now.” I left for the interview and the elevator hit the ground floor, I uttered a sigh before stepping out of the elevator.
Immediately I got out of the building I took a cab to my destination and sat through the interview, coming out proud as I successfully secured my dream job.
I took a cab back home all euphoric but on getting out of the car, I met Greg. Andre’s best friend and also a very good friend of mine. Greg is the only male friend I made since I moved to Phoenix and he has treated me just like his own sister and the only person Andre does not feel insecure having him around me because he was gay. He was standing by his car and when he saw me , He started walking towards my direction as I approached the building.
“ Hailey! Baby girl what’s up.” We exchanged kisses .
“ I'm good Greg, for the first time in a while you actually showed up in front of my house, I hope all is well?” I pretended to not know the reason why he had come to see me.
“ Hailey, you are aware I know you a lot better than this so will you please keep your acting at the corner. We need to talk.”
“ Greg, there is nothing to talk about here please just forget about trying to bring Andre and I back together .”
He chuckled. “ But I never said that did I?”
I felt awkward. “ then why have you come to see me?” I stunted.
“ I came to have a few words with you and also spend some time with my very good friend, you are aware that I am not just Andre's friend right?”
“ Yeah. I know. So shall we go upstairs or hang out at the café close by?”
“ Hey! That’s my call not yours girl.”
“ My bad. Please go on.”
“ Come with me, I have a perfect place in mind.” I followed him and we left in his car.
No idea where we are going but I trust Greg completely. As we drove just ten minutes away from my place. He pulled into a beauty spar.
“ A spar? You want us to talk in a spar?” I asked him.
“ uh- huh, a spar.” He said reluctantly as he turns off the engine and pulls the key out from the ignition.
“ But why are we here?” .
“ well I would like us to start from here, Pamper our selves a little . Trust me Hailey you need this.”
I became speechless because I am quite aware of the fact that I could barely take care of myself let alone my skin. If the human skin can talk mine would be crying by now, it’s all parched and sad.
On entering the spar, the fragrance exuding from the inside I could feel my skin screaming impatiently. “ calm down Hailey, pull yourself together.” I mumbled to myself.
“ welcome sir and you too ma'am.” A fine young lady dressed in a bright yellow gown with a name tag’ Nicole’ pinned on the left side her chest, she was wearing such a warm smile as she walked us across the room and ushered us our seats.
“ once again, you are welcome to our beauty spar. Please go ahead and select the services you would like us to start with.” She offered us the brochure.
Gosh! Just looking at the list of their services I couldn’t stop myself from wearing such a huge smile.
“ you want to do all of it don’t you?” Greg whispered to me, I glanced at him with a smile. He really gets me. “ I am so lucky to have someone like you in my life Greg.” I said to him.
“ Come on Hailey, don’t ruin the moment with all that let’s just have a good time. Just the two of us.” He gave me his hand and I took it.
“ Excuse me! Can we start with the body treatment and massage first?”
“ That a girl!” He smiled at me.
“ Come with me ma'am.” The girl says, I was hesitant while I got up.“ Hey! Go on we don’t have time to waste. Excuse me! He turns to another lady working there. Please I will be needing both manicure and pedicure.I went with in with her intro a room where I was given an apparel to change into while I laid face down on the table. While she proceeded with the treatment, then waxing and finally a thorough body massage, I could feel the softness of my skin. If my skin can speak trust me she would be singing Greg’s praises by now.After the whole procedure I came out feeling amazing as I went to meet Greg who had finished with his nail treatment and was waiting for me.“ Oooh! Girl your skin is glowing. He stood and walks up to me. Now you look a lot better, you shouldn’t punish your self because of the matters of the heart. He touched my cheeks. Shall we?”“ But what about the pa
Walking into the beach house with Greg I saw a man standing at the gallery of the house while backing us. Bathed by the rays of the sun , He was on a white garb from his shirt to his shoes. I slowly approached the gallery but by the time I noticed that Greg wasn’t beside me anymore the man backing me turned around and it happens to be Andre. I stood there as though my feet were stock to the floor.“ Hailey?” He called out as he rushed towards me. Watching him run to me made me realize how much I’ve missed him and how much I want to be with him. He ran to me and wrapped me in his embrace.“ I missed you such baby!” he cried.“ I missed you too.” I hear myself say as I held him tightly.He slowly pulled away while our eyes locked, he went on his knees right in front of me.“ Hailey, I am regretful for my actions. I got so skunked that I turned into an animal and put my hands on you. Baby I still
I saw Andre get out of the car while talking over the phone, he was carrying a bag in his hand. I stood there at the door and watched him. He seemed irritated with the person over the phone and I heard him threatening the person he was talking with over the phone unknown to him that I was standing at the door waiting for him. He turned around to proceed in once he sees me, he jumped.“ Hey baby! You are up already?” He smiled while he approaches the door.“ Yeah.” He walked past me and I followed.“ I didn't want wake you up since you were sleeping so peacefully, so I went out to grab us some dinner. He drops the plastic bag on the cabinet. Did you miss me that much?” He turns to me wearing a smile. I wondered if he is the same person I saw and heard raging over the phone just a minute ago.“ Babe, why were you sounding annoyed over the phone earlier?” I came close to him starring him ri
“ Hey, hey baby that’s enough now, it’s never too late you know. We could go visit your mum today if you want but I don’t want to see you cry again.”“ I had promised her that I will be coming over this weekend to see her.”“ Then that’s settled, we will go there by the weekend to see her and maybe bring her along with us to come and stay over here till after the wedding. What do you think?”“ it’s perfect. but what about her job, will she agree to leave her work and come with us?”“ Now you don’t have to worry about that leave it to me I will find a way.”My mood lightened up immediately. “ you are the best baby!” I jumped on him and we started locking lips so passionately and the next thing he was all over me. His hand lingered as he pulled my Night gown off leaving me unclad in bed while he unhooked his belt and unleash
“ Wow Babe, is this your room?” He said while his eyes browsed around the my Bedroom.“ Yeah.” I mumbled.“ Hey! I know you are feeling nostalgic right now but you going to have to be strong for your dad. I don’t think he will be happy seeing how sad you are returning after quite a long time.” He cupped his hands around my face.“ thank you for your support babe. I kissed his palm. I am here today all because of you.”“ I am happy to be of help to you. Now quit thanking me and let’s unpack your things, I will be sleeping in a hotel tonight to give you some space to catch up with your mom and mend your broken bonds okay?”I smiled baffled at how understanding he is. “ Andre Baby, you are a Gem of a person and I am lucky to have you as my man.” I gave him a warm kiss on the lips and embraces him tightly.After wards, he helps me put my things in the closet and
If only wishes were roses then perhaps my mom’s would have come to reality but the opposite happens on the next day. After the heart to heart conversation with my dear mother, I slept next to her in her bedroom and the following morning while I was sound asleep she’d already woken up and prepared breakfast before she left for work that morning.I opened my eyes to find the bed empty but I wasn’t surprised or worried because I was quite aware of my mom’s work schedule so I quickly freshened up after I left her room to mine and got dressed before coming down for a heart warming breakfast. It is still wonder to me eating what my mom prepared with her own two hands, I never knew she was a good cook all these while.As I was busy having my delightful breakfast Andre knocks on the door but I was too intent with my meal I had to ask him in by yelling “ Come in the door is open!”.He opened the door and proceeded in. “ Bab
“ Yeah, he would chase us around the block with a mop stick, we were so naughty back then.” I giggled.While we were catching up and laughing at our old memories, holding each other’s hand innocently. a flame of fire is lighted when Andre walks in on us.“ Oh hey Babe! This is….”“ Let’s go!” He took my hand and was about to drag me out but I forced my hand off his to clear up the misunderstanding he might be having.“ Dre, can you hold on for a second. What are you doing? Alberto is just a friend of mine. ““ Yeah man chill, Hailey and I are…” Before Alberto could finish his sentence, Andre drags him by the collar.“ If I hear you utter a word I will make sure you don’t speak for the rest of your life.” His voice shrude and vile as he glared at Alberto. He then pushed him away.“ Andre, what are you doing? You are getting thi
I left his office to the bathroom where I cried my eyes out pouring out my emotions and after I washed my face and applied some make up to cover up the bruise on my eye.I spent the rest of my day at the clinic helping out doctor Stimson with the children's treatment and consultation after which I lodged in a motel for the night but I made I a mistake of not contacting my room mate Rosalie, I was exhausted about the things happening in life I just want to lay down my head for a little while, alone in my world.I passed out after some moments of retrospection. Waking up the next morning by Non stop calls from Rosalie, I took my phone and slide my finger across the screen to answer it.“ Rose, what’s up?” my voice sounded groggy.“ Hailey, what’s going?” she sound upset.“ I don’t understand what you mean.” I was confused.“ Your fucking Fiancé has been here since four in the m
