BEHIND OUR LOVE... CHAPTER 41
BY MIEMIEBEE


IZZY'S POV;

James is such a beast, an immortal beast how can he possibly make me cook all this in this very evening? I know he isn't hungry he's just punishing me. I entered the airtime pin I bought into my phone. And after changing into shorts and loose blouse I went over to the kitchen in order to start a dinner worth a feast.

Some minutes later... Damn it! Why is the kitchen so hot? I opened the kitchen door in order to let fresh air in, I was sweating like never, my head was turning, I actually can't remember the last time I cook like this, James really do wanna kill me.

5hours later, everything was ready, the rice, stew, shredded beaf, pepper chicken and the apple juice. My back is aching so hard as if it wanna come out. I brought out the meal one after the other and set everything on the dining table. James was sitted on a sofa, he assume to be watching the TV but he's mind is somewhere else. He glances at his phone screen every single minute then back to me again. I wonder either he has a nude picture of me there. The glare he's giving me is too much.

After setting the dinning table, I walked to the sitting room and told him dinner was ready. There was no thanks, no welldone, there was nothing nothing except a nod. Gosh! I recieve only a nod after spending morethan 5hours in that hell kitchen.

James I hate you! I wanted saying that to his face but because I don't wanna end up having bruises all over my face I kept quiet. Immediately as I turned to make my way out of the sitting room, my phone started buzzing from my short's pocket and I hurriedly brought it out seeing Fiona was the one calling I picked it up before it ended. Fiona is such a kind person, we've been on phone today for the second time, though ealier I've called mom also.

"Hi Izzy result is out, check your inbox I just recieved mine now." She almost screamed in the phone.

"Wow! Really what did you score?"

"227 points" she screamed also in delight.

"Omg! You really are a genius, I pray I get a 200+ too"

"Are you for real Izzy? I know you will definately score something like 250 or even 300 points" she teases.

I laughed to her little joke. "Well okay let me check mine too, I'll call you when I see the result." And I ended up the call like that. I felt as if someone is starring at me or rather has been starring at me ever since I picked up Fiona's call. In just an eye blink I turned and saw James starring at me. Immediately our eyes mate, he quickly directed his gaze to the TV pretending as if he has not been starring at me.

I wanted to say gotcha! Then suddenly something stopped me, I figure I shouldn't be noisy around him, 'cause James is such a coward he'll look down on me. I watched him left the living room for the dining area theres a face he was wearing. As if though something is bothering him. Well, its not as if him and I are on good terms or happy living couple if not I would have asked him what the matter was.

Ignoring this thought, the realisation that Jamb result is out and I have to check mine pops into my brain. I hurriedly checked my inbox but there was no hanging message I checked over and over again but I still can't find it. How comes then? We wrote the exam together with Fiona, hers result is out and mine is not oh no! I pray all is well. I called her back and explained things to her, she was shocked also.

"Are you serious Izzy? You haven't recieved any message from Jamb?"

"Yes Fiona, I'm serious I haven't recieved any message and it was my phone number I fill in the form, and I cross checked it 5 times just so to avoid problems like this. I'm hanging" Just then I heard James coughing and I'm sure I didn't miss his sarcasm.

"It is not funny James" I yell at him.

"Well who said it was? Your word not mine. Just that the jamb board itself know you're dumb that why they didn't mind assigning a computer to mark the wrong options you've been ticking." He informs me tittering.

Omg! What if what James said now is true, omi'god NO! God help me please don't let James wish about me failing the exams comes true. I pray earnestly.

Ignoring what he said to me I spun around to walk back to my room.

"Oh no seems like the superwoman is afraid also" he giggles.

I hissed and went over my inbox again, I'm starting to get worried really. As I turned in my door, I suddenly felt a groan in my stomach. Gosh! I'm hungry I haven't eaten lunch. I turned and went over to the dining area to eat to. I can feel how James is glaring at me, I ignored him and proceeded on, I brought out a plate and he paused with what he was doing, looking at me with zealous favor.

"Hey what are you about doing?"

"What else? I want to eat." Just as I was about opening the flask, James suddenly slapped my hand making me back off. "Awch!" I shrieked. "This is my food not yours if you wanna eat, go and cook yours now go away"

My mouth dropped open is James for real? How on earth is he going to eat all this? "No way James, you can't stop me from eating." I retaliate.

He smiled freakishly, "then lets see." I hissed and proceeded on opening the flask again he hit me harder than he did before. "Awch! That hurts you know" The pain is worth crying for but because I've promised never to drop a tear for him again, I ignored the pain and spoke up.

"See Mr arrongant I have no time for this nonsense let me eat. Whats wrong with you anyways? How can you stop me from eating? Let me eat or you'll give me no choice than to call your mom and tell her all that you've been doing." I threatened him knowing that I know his weak point now.

"Is that all you got? Threatening me with my mom's life always? Don't you think I can deny all that you tell her? Sure she'll believe her only son's side of story than yours."

I hummed smiling. "Not when I show her this" bringing out my hand I showed him one of the injury he has cursed me. There was a total moment of silent. "So you allowing me to eat now?" I questioned sarcastically.

He was about saying something when his phone started buzzing he picked it up immediately. I watched him as he answered the call. I wonder with who it is he is on call with, whoever it is thanks to him/her because the way James was talking to the person its as if he fears that person. I tried my best to listen to who it is but the TV is on. After a series of yes, no, okay, he comcluded the phone with an "okay I'll check it now."

He instantly stood up and made his way to his room just as he was about entering he stopped and looked at me, "don't touch any of that wait until I come back." I ignored him. Immediately he shoved himself inside the room, I saw his phone unlocked for the first time, something in me just asked me to go through his phone. I really don't know what came over me.

I picked his phone up and entered his call logs, after viewing it I found nothing interesting there so I decided to enter his messages. My jaw dropped as my eyes tried popping out of their sockets. I hurriedly opened the text I saw from JAMB and read it;

Dear Stewards Isabelle, your aggregate is 275 for the exam you sat on 05/04/2016.

I didn't know the time when I screamed and started jumping. "Omi'god! I made it I made it!" I danced for some seconds before I hurriedly brought out my phone and took a picture of it just then I heard James opening his door I quickly kept his phone just as he left it.

On returning to the table, I saw him with some files in his hand he starred at me for some time then back to the table before he picked up his phone and called back the person I'm sure called him before. A series of yes and no then read something from the papers before he hanged up the call.

"Pass me your plate" I passed him and he poured just a little amount of the rice on it with a small portion of the stew and just a single meat on top, no chicken nothing nothing.
"Here you go" he said passing the plate back to me. I opened my mouth wide open.

"What is this? A food?"

"Yes, and if you will not eat it, give it back." He stated as he continued eating his meal with chicken and the shredded beaf all over.

"You're so selfish you know look at your plate, and look at what you're giving me to eat."

"Stop comparing yourself to me, now go away please" he used his hand to push me back. "I don't want noise when ever I'm eating."

I stood there glaring at him, "and who asked you to change my number and enter yours in my Jamb form?"

He nearly choked, "what? Me? He hissed why will I do such a thing?" knowing I must have checked through his phone, he stopped lying and asked, "wait, did you go through my inbox?"

"Yes I did mr arrogant" I snarled at him. "So you knew I passed the exams, you were too jealous to tell me I scored 275points well i've seen it already."

"Hmpf! What there to be jealous about? After knowing you cheated anyways, if not how will someone like you score upto 275 in an exam."

"So you're impressed." I mocked at him.

"God NO! why I will I?"

"Then why accusing me of cheating?"

"Stop answering my question with a question this discussion is over. Now carry your plate and go you're diatracting me as you can see I'm trying to eat, will you?"
