Chapter 6

“Dylan!”

She stormed toward the car from down the street. Her heels struck the pavement hard, her hand planted firmly on her hip while the other jabbed the air at him. The closer she came, the louder her voice grew.

“Dylan! Would you ever change, you shame less man.”

It was his ex-girlfriend Georgia, who claimed she had become his baby mama a few years ago. 

She was infuriated when she saw a lady sitting inside Dylan's car. She sighted them from afar when she came to look for Dylan in his house.

“You want to add a new girl to the crew right Dylan? Ha ha ha!!” Georgia laughed out loud with bitterness in her tone.

“Is she better than I am?” she snapped aggressively. “I have a son for you Mr. Dylan. What more do you want? You're not even giving enough attention to me and your son and you are already with another woman, trying to get through her pants.”

Gia… please can I come back to meet you in a few minutes concerning this? Let me drop her off at …...” Dylan pleaded. He knew what Georgia was capable of doing and he did not want her to create a scene, especially not in front of Alicia. But Georgia did not allow him to finish, she quickly interrupted him.

“Lies Dylan, big fat lies. Tell me bloody liar that you are not going to f*ck this lady now in your house.” Georgia yelled.

Alicia scoffed. “What in the world is she talking about?” 

Georgia rushed towards the other side of the car. The side where Alicia was sitting.

“Oh it's Alicia, ha ha ha! You foolish bitch! You don't what I'm talking about right. Are you really that dumb? Shameless whore!” she snarled.

Georgia was ready to fight Alicia if she made one more statement. Georgia was a really aggressive and a very temperamental woman, easily angered by anything.

Alicia knew Georgia right from their university days. She also knew that Georgia had always wanted to be in Dylan's arms even while he dated Kimberly, his first girlfriend.

Dylan wasn't ready to put Alicia in the situation of a fight with Georgia, he immediately wound up the car window and sped off.

“Bastards!” Georgia yelled as the speed of the car threw her off.

She wasn't going to be made a fool by the people she thought were now love birds. She picked up a big stone and threw it towards the car.

Unfortunately, it hit the back windscreen and it caused a very bad crack on it. But Dylan did not stop, he had to get to a safe place first.

“I will be back for you two. Bastards! That whore he is carrying would surely hear from me.” She said and spat to the ground.

“But no! First off, I’ll have to find out where this Alicia girl lives. I promise that I would deal with her mercilessly.” Georgia muttered to herself, she was breathing too hard in anger.

She stopped to find a cab.

Dylan had driven for about two minutes, he even passed his house trying to remove Alicia from the situation. He really didn't her to get involved with Georgia because of how troublesome and dangerous Georgia could be.

When he got close a nearby street, he parked by the roadside.

“I think we're safe from her troubles now, let me contact my friend.”

“Okay…” Alicia muttered, barely above a whisper.

The call ended briefly. His friend informed him that there wasn't any available property in the neighbourhood.

“Alicia why don't you put up with me tonight at my house. Tomorrow we could find you an apartment.”

“No thanks, Dylan, don't worry so much about me. I'll book myself a hotel room in any nearby hotel tonight.”

Dylan's phone rang again, he answered it. His friend's voice came through the other end.

“Hello Dylan, I just made a call right now. I think there's an empty apartment across the street from Criston club, the old tenant of the apartment relocated a day before yesterday. Are you planning to move in today?” He asked.

“Yes, it's for my friend. She would be moving into the apartment today.” Dylan replied.

“Okay then come towards the apartment opposite Criston club, I'll meet you there in two minutes.”

The call ended.

“Thank you so much Dylan.” Alicia said with her two hands together towards him. She heard everything clearly.

It's my pleasure Alicia.” Dylan said, tugging a smile.

Georgia followed in a cab right after Dylan to find where he was taking Alicia to. She made the taxi driver stop few metres away from the apartment in order not to be caught spying.

After the meeting with his friend, Dylan made payment for the house and helped Alicia settle in.

“Thank you once again Dylan, to what do I owe this kind gesture from you.” Alicia asked giving a soft smile.

“It's alright Aly, you were and are still more than a friend to me. Remember that you were my favorite coursemate in school back then.” He said returning the smile.

“I'm really do appreciate Mr. Dylan.... and sorry about your broken windscreen.” 

“No problem Aly.” 

He was set to go. He walked towards the door.

“Alicia take care of yourself, I'll be back tomorrow to check up on you. Lest I forget, I am so sorry for the embarrassment from Georgia earlier on.” He said.

Alicia paused. Then she turned to him.

“If I may ask you Dylan, why are you really treating these women like this? You get them pregnant and reject them at the end of the day. Please I mean no offense.” She inquired.

Dylan stepped back towards her. He needed to clarify himself. 

“You are mistaking Alicia. Georgia and I have never been in any serious relationship. She came to me while I was still dating Kimberly 3 years ago and offered to be friends with benefits with me, Kim found out about it and broke up with me and at the time Kim was pregnant for me. I hurt Kim and I really do agree to that. But Georgia….. honestly I don't know what is going on between me and Georgia. She claimed she had a child for me after our one night stand, but I don't really trust that she is telling me the truth.”

“You should have conducted a DNA test on the child long before now if you were not sure she told the truth.” Alicia said.

Dylan rubbed his forehead with his hand.

“Well… we have conducted the tests already, but the results says he is my child. Infact my instincts keep fighting against that.”

“Hmmm…. I think you should just become more responsible towards your son. Who knows you might find out the truth some day. And then you should also make up your mind who you want to settle down with.”

“Ohhh…. I'm really certain that Kimberly has gotten over me long ago, she has a daughter for me, that's why she's still in contact with me, but Georgia has refused to get over me. She is not wife material for me, she's a slotful woman, aggressive, mannerless and……”

Alicia’s phone buzzed loudly on the table, cutting Dylan short. The name that flashed across the screen made his chest tighten.

“My love”

“My Love!” He thought jealously. He forced a smile but his jaw clenched as he looked away. Alicia quickly snatched up the phone and hesitated, her thumb hovering over the green button.

“Are you not going to answer?” Dylan asked, his voice low, almost strained.
