BEHIND OUR LOVE...

BEHIND OUR LOVE... CHAPTER 21
BY MIEMIEBEE


IZZY'S POV;


I was re-watching ‘ disney frozen’ in my laptop 'cuz am damn inlove with the movie. My phone vibrated by myside and as I glow at the screen I saw message from baby as that was how I saved James phone number I picked it up quickly and opened the message curiously because I can't remember when last James texted me.

    I furrowed my eyebrows after reading it, “so its not even a date?” I questioned myself but even still we are going out right? And ofcourse I'll get to stare at his amazing pretty face again. I smiled and hoist up from my bed making it to my closet, on reaching there I brought out a red tommy length handless top with a crazy sweaty black pants thats way sexy. After putting it on I glowed at the mirror admiring how sexy I was looking. I added a bit of makeup and styled my hair into a ponytail at the centre.

       Not long enough my phone started ringing I spun and picked it up instantly as I saw it's James mom calling. After the normal in-law to be greetings she said she had a duprise for me.

    I can't wait to listen to this suprise though I hate suprises but I believe aunt Elena.

    “Your engagement party is taking place in 2 days time dear, James will be coming sooner to pick you up so you guys could talk about it, write down all that you need, the guestlist everything and give it to him, okay?”

  Omg! What? Did I hear aunt Elena clearly? Engagement? Between James amd I omg am overwhelmed with joy I..I don't even know what to say...

    “Hello Izzy you there...?”

    “Yes ma'am, I mean when did it happen? Haven't heard anything”

    “Really?” She asked suprisingly. “Didn't James told you?”

Oh no! I can't tell you ‘no he didn't tell me’ because you might suspect something let me make up a lie..

  I lied, “Ohh so thats the suprise he's so exited to tell me?” I fake a giggle.

   “Omg! Don't tell him I've told you already okay? Pretend as if you didnt know anything about the engagement.” She alerts.

    “Sure ma'am...”

“Okay am hanging...”

“Wait please” I cutt her off

“Something wrong dear?” She asked curiously

    “Uh I mean, the engagement... Was it by James will?”

Gosh I know am an ass to even say that.

     “Yes dear, is something wrong or are you not ready too?”

Too? Did she just say ‘too?’ What does that suppose to mean, barely it means James wasn't ready too maybe his dad or mom forced him into the engagement thing. The logical voice in my head suggests.

    “No not at all ma'am” I retaliate. “I can't tell you how happy I am, I need to go James will be here in a bit.”

“Okay then bye!” She hanged up.

   I led out a sigh, before I could get to call mom, April call came in and without hesitation I picked it up and kept quiet cuz am still mad at her, so she broke the silence.

   “Izzy? You there?”

“Yes” I answered cold heartedly

“Oh how are you then? Thrilled I guess”

“So you know too?” I threw a question at her

  “Yes” she snapped. “James just called  now.”

I trembled as my eyes pop out of their sockets. “What? How did you get his number?”

    “I don't think that's important now. Izzy, James is against this engagement it is his parents who are forcing him to, the guy don't love you, get a brain please this is your future we are talking about. Don't force him into marrying you...”

    “I'll pretend not to here this, yeah James might not like me now but eventually after the wedding he might... So am hanging up.” Ding! I did.

    As I glare at the wall clock its 3:50PM already James should be here by now.

And my phone is on ring now, omi'gosh its James calling. I cleared my throat before finally picking it up.

      “I'm outside come out, and don't keep me waiting.” His charming authoritative voice state and before I could get to answer he hung up.

    Omi'god James

    I quickly glared back at my full length mirror and made sure I was okay before spraying my designed perfumes and left. On reaching outside I saw James mercedez benz E350 parked not far away from our house but from where I was standing I can see like someone is with him inside the car and that someone omg! its a girl yeah oh god! More like a lady, an american!

Crap! Is that Mer? Yeah its Mer she's the one. Why will James ask me to come when he's with Mer. Now what do I do?

Muat you ask everythng Izzy? Ofcourse turn around and go back in. The logical voice in my head states. ‘Okay’

As I make my way back in James called my name loudly I had to stop and turned back he beckoned me over you know I can't say no to James right? So I went and met him. He rolled down the glass, and eyed me head-to-toe with a wicked smile all over his face. The pretty young lady beside him (Mer) speaks “so this is the Izzy, honey?” he turned to her and placed a peck on her cheek before responding “yes babe this is her.”  “Uh” she said contended.

    “Get in” showing me the back seat.

Believe me I know am an ass to do as he asked but I just can't refuse him and so I shoved myself into James car.

   Him and Mer? Are the two most irritating perosns i've ever known in my entire life. They kissed everytime they get a chance to do so, I regretted following him or rather them. Anger, jealousy I don't know what I was feeling all I know is that I hated Mer and love James. Anytime I caught them kissing I fake a cough so as to distract them but it just seems like am bringing them closer to each other, I had to force myself to stay focus on the window side and that was how the ride continued.

   We stopped at a park after parking in a lot, they kissed again and as Mer tried to open her door he stopped her and said charmingly “let me” she offered him the best smile and waited for him and in just a bit her door opened since he didn't mind opening mine for me, anyways I wasn't expecting that I opened mine and stood up by the door.

   He held Mer's hand into his interwining their fingers and then he looked up at me with a mocking grin on his face as he caught me starring at their hands. “Lets find somewhere and sit.”

I can't stand them no more, Mer? I can't compete with her I can't even dress the way she's now althought I tried to but I can't for goodness sake see how exposed her boobies are.

Is James we are talking about here, you can! ‘Yes I can’

   “I'll get going” I managed to say soundimg defeated I know if I were to add 5 more minutes standing here, I'll be crying next and that I don't want to do especially not in Mer's present.

“Oh common darling” Mer points out at me “you're going since before we started?” She redirected her gaze back to James “honey tell her not to leave I've got something to tell her personally” laying more emphasis on personally.

       “Hey Izzy don't be stupid you know our engagement date is fixed we need to talk, and Mer wants to talk to you too so lets go?” He spoke with cool authority gesturing me.

   With out saying anything I made my way to the nearby table and sat on one of the vacant chairs playing with my fingertips. James and Mer occupied the other available seat.

   “So you wish to marry my babe?” Mer's voice caught me offguard.

As I raised up my head I saw her sitted on his laps, her hand all over him and he held her possesively.

“Izzy you're a pretty young lady why won't you get a life and get your paws off my man? James don't like you, you're being a burden to him please why won't you quit forcing yourself upon him? He made it clear to you he doesn't like you and he will never.” She's starting to yell as my silence is exasperates her.

     Easy sweetie I don't want you to raise your temper on her” pointing at me “had it been she really wanna back out, she would have since as her sister has talked to her time without number and tried to make her understand but Izzy? She's so hard headed.”
