Chapter 10

Kaira POV

"What do you want David? Now you want to talk....?" I lashed out...

"Is not like that... Just hear me out...." David said

"Hear you out?... You know, you have no shame... You went behind my back and got another girl pregnant. Pushed me out of your house. And what you had to say to me was " is not like that... Or do you wanna deny it now David.. Answer me??" I lashed out again...

"Kaira, listen Cynthia and I are moving into a new apartment next week. So I noticed that your makeup box and some of your shoes are still at my place. I was wondering if you wanna come to pick it up or I should bring it myself... "

"What? Like seriously that's what you wanna tell me..? You know what David... Go to hell..."

He wanted to say something but I didn't let him finish. I worked out... I was almost on the verge of shading tears but controlled myself and made my way out of the venue... On my way out Jordan grabbed my hand from behind and pulled me closer to the dance floor... I guess he looked at me and noticed that my eyes were red like someone that had been crying...

"Are you okay..?" He asked... he was carefully observing my reaction...

"Let me go!!!!" I shouted, removed my hand...pushed him back...

Everyone within that ranged of the hall stared at me but I didn't care... I ran out of the hall and made my way out of the venue...

For a moment I thought of calling my father... But I'm sure he wouldn't pick... Decided to take a deep breath... The night was a bit cold. I can feel my legs trembling... I looked around and noticed that was the only one there...

Though I was i bit scared but with the kinda mood I was in, I didn't feel a thing... A few minutes later I heard a voice behind me...

"What is wrong with you? Must you embarrass me like that?.. I just asked if you are okay, and you flipped..." It was Jordan's voice.

" what do you what from me Jordan?..please I have had enough for one night..."

"I am not the cause of your problems... Yes, Sebastian told me. He broke up with you and so what..? Maybe you deserve it. Because not everybody can stand this crazy attitude of yours..."

"Excuse me, what did u just say...?" On second thought, I decided to continue walking but he wasn't done with me yet...

"You know I wondered how he tolerated you all this while because you are a self-centered human being who doesn't care about any other person feeling except for herself...you want me to feel sorry for you?... No way!! Never, at least now you can taste a little bit of pain and anguish you meted out to other people"

Those words got to me so deep I had to stop walking and face Jordan...

"Mr. Jordan, why did you hate me so much? You are the one who threw me into the mud... You are the one who dropped me on the floor and here you are ranting about how much you hate me??? I am the one who has the right to hate you because you are very arrogant... So full of yourself...who do you think you are?? Yes, I might be a bit difficult sometimes but that doesn't give you the right to judge me.."

I wanted to walk away but he drew me back...

"What do you want Jordan, please I really wanna be left alone.." I shouted at him... And walked away... I was confused and angry at the same time... Though I was moving, I had no idea where I was going... On the east side of the hotel, I saw a signpost that read "Never give up, there is always light at every end of the tunnel"... I stood for a while to read the post... When I heard a voice behind me.

"Being looking all over for you...what are you doing here all alone..? It was Jaxon's voice...

"Well, needed to clear my head a little.." I said with a smile...

"Is kinda getting too hot inside their... Oh!, Natalie is really having a good time in there.." Jaxon said...

When I heard Jaxon mention Natalie's name. Is right there that it struck me that I haven't seen her all night... I almost forgot I came with someone...

"Do you wanna go for a drive..?" Jaxon asked...

"Now...? I asked

" Yes, that's if you don't mind.. "

One of the things I like about Jaxon is his gentle nature... He doesn't force words when he speaks...The way he speaks can entirely convince you to do whatever he wants you to do...

During our drive, we stopped at burger king... Bought some Ice cream and headed back on the road...I felt comfortable with him beside me, we talked and joked about everything and even sang the song on the radio... I didn't mind my hoarse voice as long as I felt happy doing it...

"We are here pretty face" He pulled over...

Wait did he just call me pretty face... I was almost snorting as he scurry to the passenger side of the front seat and opened the door for me... I can't remember if I have had that pressure of someone helping with the door before now. David can be romantic sometimes but not to that extent...

"Thank you..." I smiled... When I got out of the car I felt the weather was kinda chilly so I began rubbing my arms together... Maybe he noticed I was feeling cold so he offered me his jacket...

"Here.." He placed his white dinner jacket on my shoulder...

"So do you like the view..???" He said pointing at the downhills...

"This is beautiful... I can practically see the whole of Lagos from here and is amazing.." I said with a smile.

"Yea is beautiful... This spot was where I proposed to Gina... Right there..." He pointed at the mahogany trees on the other side of the hills...

"Oh really....?"

"But the same day that was meant to be the happiest day of my life turned out to be the most tragic and worst day of my life...I shouldn't have let her go so quickly. Would have tried harder... I guess I was stupid to let go so quick..."

"You ain't stupid Jaxon, look at me for example. I loved David so much but he still went behind my back and got another woman pregnant. Sometimes what we want is not exactly what is destined for us...Yes, I felt bad... And I still do but what can I do... I just have to find a way to let go...

" David has always been a douchebag since our college days..." He commented ... "You are a pretty woman..." He slowly ran his hands down my face. "Don't let it get to you"

"You too.." And before I knew it, he had pulled me closer and hugged me...As I rested my arms on his shoulder... Right there, my brain refused to function for a while...I just wanted to spend the rest of my life there but I guess he felt wired since he pulled back and gave me excuses that our ice cream is melting...

For the second time, I had this thought of how it will feel to make love to Jaxon... I had to find a way to kill the thought...

"I'm sorry we couldn't dance tonight. I had some promoters around discussing the upcoming project..." His words made me get off the thought that I was having...

"Is okay.... But is not too late for the dance. Just make sure you don't step on my foot.." I teased him while stretching my hands to him.

"Really..? Okay we will see about that" He smiled

We began to waltz, spinning and circling and shuffling our feet to the slow rhythmic music...

I'm not that much of a dancer but the way the atmosphere was at that moment made me feel so good. I can't remember the last time I was held so close with love and compassion...

"You ain't that bad... You really can dance" He said while holding me so close... This time I can inhale his fresh breath hovering all over my face...

"You think so..?" I smiled.

He started looking at my face with that hazing eyes... Our eyes locked on each other...I was looking forward to this moment... I guess I was ready...

I was still hovering around with my thought when he said...

"I think you have something on your cheek," He said

"What...?" I can't believe the words that ruined this amazing moment were something on my cheek... I felt really bad but I tried not to show it...

"Oh!, thanks..." I forced a smile and pulled back...

"Is something wrong...?"

"Nah!" I forced a smile again...

"Are you sure because...."

"I'm good Jaxon. Please can you take me home?"

"Did I say something..."

" Is almost past midnight Jaxon, please take me home"

"Okay"
