BEHIND OUR LOVE...

BEHIND OUR LOVE... CHAPTER 19
BY MIEMIEBEE



I couldn't say a word anymore, tears where just rolling down my cheeks unstoppingly. “Now wipe your tears and lets go Mer must be waiting for me and I don't want to keep her waiting” James said passing me a hanky. I don't know what I am doing all I know is I'm badly in need of that hanky and so I collected it and wiped my tears off. I followed his back like a zombie as we left for the restor. The drive back home was more boring, as we all kept silent in the car only the sound of my sobbing rising.

    He didn't mind comforting me, even though James is not being caring towards me I still love him, his love increases in me every single heartbeat. He finally stopped the car in front of our house, as I try to open the door James locked the door automatically, though my eyes want to look at james, though they are hungry to see his strikingly attractive face I have to fight that hunger, I don't want him to see how sour my face is looking right now.

       Passing me a hanky again he said coldly “wipe your tears sweetie or do you want mom to see your eyes all puffy and red?” I kept quiet and didn't answered him. He smirked I can see him from the behind “are you mad sweetie?” he smirked again and then chuckled.

Like seriously James? You've got that gut to ask me this question? Or didn't what you told me earlier in the restor means something to you, I bet it didn't.

      “Open the door please” I managed to say without even glancing at his stupid gorgeous face. He opened it instantly I didnt wait for even a sec as I started rushing towards the gate-in. He called out “i'll be expecting your call today, make sure you tell mom about our plan.”

       I ran inside so as not to let him see me bursting out of tears. I snapped the gate behind me, I cried my life out, I cried and cried and cried until I heard the sound of footsteps approaching me before I could make any move I saw mom infront of me is like she's going out for a walk.

    “Omg! Izzy whats wrong? Why are you crying?” she asked with a concerned look on her face, I quickly wiped off my tears and managed to put on a smile avoiding her from moving closer to me. “Oh its nothing don't bother I hit my leg so hard in here...” showing her the gate behind me. “Ohhh sorry sweetie, let me have a look.”

Gosh! This lie didn't work what if mom checks out my leg and finally realise that am lying? Eventually she'll get to know everything. Gosh no!

   “No mom you don't have to I'll take care of it myself, its nothing serious.”

  She looked me in the eyes, gaze unmoving with a questioning expression on her face. “Are you really okay?” She finally asked after scruitinizing my face for morethan a minute. “I am mom” I retaliate.

    “No you are not, where is James in the first place?”

Its time Izzy make up a lie, make up one now.

“He left just now I asked him not to come in 'cause you might be sleeping so he asked me to give you his love” I leaned my face towards hers and placed a kiss on her cheek. “You're going for a walk right?” She nodded her gaze still not moving from mine. “Okay have a nice walk, I have to tend to my wound bye.” I winced in before she could say a word about my dress.

      On reaching inside, I walked straight to my room and laid flat on my huge bed. I continued crying from where I stopped. When I was finally feeling better, feeling more at ease, I took my phone and called my only advicer, my sister April.

      Ding.. Ding she finally picked it up.


         “Hi April no the informal greetings today, I called for a serious issue.”

       “Oh really sistaaa am all ears then...”

      “Remember the guy I told you about some few months back? The one I met at the mall...?”

      “Oh yes! him! I do! The one that stole your heart at that moment right?” She chuckled

     “Okay whatever please be serious, will you?” I said furrowing my eyebrows

     “Okay sistaaa I remember him, is he dead?”

     “Omi'freaking god NO! He's not dead, do you know we are kind of related with him, he's a son to mom's cousin aunt Elena...” And that was how I told her about everything, I mean e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.

       “Wow!” She responded.

I became more aggravated so ‘wow’ is her reply? How could she?
 
     “What do you mean wow April? I need an advice and all you're saying is wow? God help me”

       She breathed “you know what Izzy? Just stay away from this guy James, if you can't tell mom about it I'll help you, I'll tell her. We marry for love, and he is even a gentleman to tell you what he is really feeling towards...”

     I cut her off, “stay away from him? Are you kidding me April? God! You really don't know how affected by his love I am...”

     She cuts me off “to hell with the love since he don't want to love you back, don't you get it? This is your future, you have the opportunity to make it now that you have a choice, there are many guys out there just forget about James you guys are not meant to be.”

     “Aprilll!” I called out in a more amgry tone, i'm angry at her now for saying that. “Please stop saying that, you're making me lose hope again. I thought you'll give me advices, tips on how I can... you know make him fall for me, or maybe I have to change myself for him am willing to do that but what are you saying? Do you even know whats the meaning of love?”

     “Its not about that Izzy.” She retaliate. We don't need to change ourselves for love, a person who truely loves you will love you the way you are, you don't have to change anything for him. You and James? Just don't exist.”

       I'm more angry at her now, how can she not be on my side? She's never been like this before. “Okay thats to you, am hanging up...”

      “Don't hang up on me Izzy am going to call mom now and tell her all thats going on I can't sit back and watch you destroy your life like this.”

   “April please don't call mom, if you do that... I'll never forgive you, never.” I hung up.

      No April I won't let your words get to me, I won't. James will learn to love me eventually...

       Later during the night, I was all by myself in my room I can't help but replay April's words. My ringing phone brought me back to reality, on checking the screen I saw James name appeared I quickly hoist up and cleared my throat before picking it up.

       “Sweetheart” I heard him say in his charming sweet voice that makes my heart flutter. “You haven't call so I decided to, have you told mom? What did she say?”

     A total moment of silence...

    “Hello... You there?” he calls out again.

    “Uh hi...” I managed to say voice dropping considerbly.

    “So what did she say?”

  “James actually about that...” I paused for a moment. “I didn't tell her anything, I can't even if I could I can't because I love you why won't you give me a chance? I promise to...” He cuts me off.

     “You're really digging your own grave you know I gave you just one last chance and you threw it away you are going to regret kwowing and loving James in your entire miserable life Izzy. How can you be so stupid and dense and everything! Gosh!”

   He said bitterly and spitefully, I can sense how angry he is the way he laid more emphasis on my name says it all. Before I could get to say another word he hanged up.

     I didn't know the time I started crying, I was crying so hard when I heard the sound of footsteps approaching towards my door I quickly wiped off my tears and before I could make another move mom already made herself into my room, I forced a smile as she sat next to me by the bedside.

     “Where did you get the dress you wore earlier?” She asks in a i-am-your-mother-so-lets-be-serious tone.

      Time for making up stories...

     “Uh that! James bought me” I said confidently playing with my fingertip.

       “Oh really? And you didn't tell him I don't allow you dress like that?”

     I held her hands in mine, “oh common on! I can't start saying no to James right away, and the dress isn't that bad you know, just trust me...”

    “No Izzy I won't allow that there's...”

    I cut her off “please mom” putting on a baby innocent face ”trust me” I added.

     It took her quiet a while before she finally nodded in agreement you have to be very careful dear, “I cannot take risks”
