Erica 's POV**~~~
I was dumbstruck ,when I saw them cuddling and kissing,I can't believe my eyes,my man is kissing some other girl,I can't believed it and I felt a sting in my heart. I just stood there staring at them until I spoke up,
"Richard"
They both stop and turn around only to see me standing there and he said
"yeah,do you need anything ?"
"who is she baby?"she asked before placing a kiss on his cheek.
"she ,she is nobody"he said while grabbing her waist.
"you ,do you need anything ?if you don't then ,would you mine?"
"umm...."I said
"excuse us will you ,you bitch and please knock before you open others car"she said in harsh tone.
I didn't say anything and walk away from the car and soon they closed the door and began to continue what they were doing before. I just stood their to let them finished what they are doing ,then someone came and touch my shoulder. I turn around and saw Samuel .
"oh hey"I said with a smile.
"what are you doing here?"he asked.
"nothing"I replied with a sad face.
"what's wrong ,did anybody say something to you?"he asked with concerned.
"no,nothing at all"I said with a small smile.
"okay,by the way aren't you going home,now"he asked again
"yes,but..."I wanted to cry but I control my tears from falling.
"yes,I am its just that I am waiting for Richard ".
"isn't he is here yet?I saw him a while ago coming out"he said while scrolling his cellphone.
I didn't say anything and just stood there because I know where he is and what is doing right now inside the car. I can't believe myself I am letting the man I love hooking around with other girls,God ,why am I so coward ,dam you Erica .
"guess he won't be coming now,why don't I drop you off"he asked with a genuine smile.
I just stare at him and then back to the car and I thought about it for sometime and said "sure".
"okay,come "
I nodded and went away.
When I reached home ,aunt as usual greeted me and I greeted her back ,after that I went straight to my bedroom and went inside the bathroom and took a long shower to relax myself ,my insecurity and jealousy towards other girls.
I stay under the shower for almost an hour and after that I came out from the bathroom got dressed up and went under my blanket and went to sleep.
1week later••••
Its already been a week and 4 days since I have been here and I am really trying my best to enjoy myself but I really can't because Jimmy and his friends won't leave a chance, oh ,yes if Samuel is around ,he always helped me out that's why I am always grateful for him but at times I really want to go back home and hide in there so that nobody can find me again. And also me and Richard is going to move to our new house ,today and what ,surprised me the most is we are going to marry again but its not 100%sure yet because my love doesn't want to and he doesn't considered me to be suitable for him,which really hurts a lot but I can wait for him until my last breath.
"heeey down to earth"Emma said
"oh!!I am sorry,so have you done that sums already "I asked her while flipping the pages of my book.
"yeah,almost how about you"she asked while rolling her pen.
"yes done!!"
"oh great guess ,I have to clean the classroom by myself again"she said with a long face.
I smiled at her and said
"don't worry I'll help out,just get your sums done"
"really ,you'll help out,thanks girl,you really are my saviour "she said before hugging me.
"okay,okay ,now get that fast because I need to reach at my place,earlier"I stated
"yeah,yeah ,I know that you want to go home and make love with your lover but have patience ,I'll try my best to get done soon"she said teasingly.
I hit her with my hand on her shoulder and said "shut up,and just concentrate on your work".
"yes ma'am"she said with a smile.
Me and Richard reached our new place and it was as big as the previous mansion ,it was magnificent .We were looking around then Richard suddenly stopped and I bumped on him.
"I am sorry"I said while rubbing his back.
"its fine " he push my hand away angrily,"don't you dare touch me again"
I nodded and he walked inside his room.
A tear fell on my cheeks and I said in a whisper
"how can I make you love me?"
I stood there for some minutes and went inside my room.
Richard's POV***
I was sleeping peacefully until a bright light fell on my face and I was really pissed off and I angrily said
"what the hell?"
"No,its good morning"she said with a big smile.
"shut up"I said while covering my head with a pillow.
"no you should be saying good morning not 'shut up' hey"she said while pulling my blanket .
I didn't say anything and just remain under the covers but then all of the sudden I fell something crawling up under my blanket so I look inside and then our face were closed enough for us to kiss.
"what are you doing here?"I asked sternly
"trying to wake you up ,"she replied with her innocent smile.
Oh!!!this innocent smile of hers it really touch me whenever I see those smile it really made my day,I wish I could keep on seeing those smiles,forev.....What the hell I am thinking right ,now?
"get off from me"I said and push her off from my body.
She fell on the bed along with the blanket and she said,
"ouch,my hand"
I got off from the bed and said
"you,don't you dare walk in my room whenever you like,got it"
She just nodded .
Then I took my towel and went inside the bathroom.
Times flew by quickly and it was almost end of the day,I was outside in the college parking load with my gangs and we were talking until a girl came and began to kiss me,she was trying to penetrate her tongue inside my mouth but I didn't let her ,then what happen next really shocked me?
It was Erica ,who came and pull her apart from me.
"what the fu*k??"said the girl angrily.
"don't kiss him like that he is not a public property"she yell with her sweet voice.
"public property ,huh"the girl said with a smirk.
"yes,he is my husband present and future as well"she said out loud,where everyone can hear it.
"husband,my foot,do you really think that he loves you ?,do you really think that he'll be your husband in the future ?,do you really think he wants to be with you now or in the future?"the girl questioned her.
She stared at me ,before speaking
"yes,I don't think but I believed ,I believed that he will fall in love with me and stay with me foreve...."she was cut off in between ,when the girl said
"okay,okay,enough of the believed things,you know what I don't give a shit about it?just fu*k off "she said and push her.
Erica maintain herself from falling and she said,"no ,I won't ,I won't let you touch my ....",then the girl slapped her on her face.
Erica put her hand on her face and her eyes seems to be fill with tears,she want to cry but she was controlling herself.
"I won't give up and please stop touching what is mine?"she said in an angry tone
"yours ,he was never yours,right Richard "she said while touching my face and while she was touching my face,Erica came and held her hand and said
"please ,don't touch him"
"how dare you touch me"she yell angrily and slapped both her face.
"don't you touch me with your filthy hands of yours,got it "
Erica stare at her without saying anything,then the girl got pissed off again because of her staring ,so now she pulled her hair and threw her on the floor and as she was about to attack her again ,Samuel came in and held the girl and he said
"enough!!Erica you find"
"mmm...yes,I am"she said and stood up ,when she was about to walk towards Samuel ,I came in and tugged her and went straight to the car and we drove away .
When we reached home,I asked her
"what do you think you are doing??"
"I just want to help you get away with those girls"she said in a soft tone.
"did I asked you to do that,you really make me look down in front of others and from now on you just stay out from my life ,you got it" I ordered her.
As I was about to walk away, she stopped me
"please don't go,don't leave me alone and I don't like you kissing or cuddling other girls but if you like doing that I won't stopped you but just don't leave me"she said.
I turn around to face her and she was sobbing hard and,her next words surprised me,
"I-I love you,Richard ...."she confessed while sobbing.
You love me.....no way.
