BEHIND OUR LOVE...

BEHIND OUR LOVE... CHAPTER 16
BY MIEMIEBEE



     I was about saying something whilst his phone started ringing, cutting me off. A cute smile which made him look more adorable and worth looking shines bright on his face as he glared at his phone screen. And without hesitation he picked it up “ heyy! baby” he calls out in a more sweet tone he has not used with me. A sudden anger, jealousy tears down my heart and face. The urge to kill Meridith just pounce on me, I know it its must be her.

       How can James hurt me like this? How can he not respect this date? Or maybe because he said the reason why he set it up was to tell me he doesn't like me. But still, he should have respected it even a bit.

     Bored and filled with jealousy of his phone call with thè meridith am sure, I decided to go to the restroom. He didn't even noticed I wasn't in the table nomore. I hit the girls room hurriedly so as not to cry in every one’s present, and thankfully there was no one in it. I cried my life out. My eyes became all puffy and red.

     Thanks goodness to the water proof makeup mom applied on me if not my face would have turned into a ghost with a costume makeup hunting for kids to scare them away. I spent at least 20mins trying to make my face  look more like I didn't cry before returning back to the restor.

      There he was not making any phonecall now, instead he was busy swiping on his phone screen, just as I was about walking down to our table he turned his direction towards me his gaze piercing through the distance between us. I stood there like a mango tree not moving until his gaze moved away from mine. I walked slowly and calmly back to our table.

      His perfectly lips form an acute smile which makes the butterfly in my stomach flutter. “Can we go now? I'm dining with Mer in less than an hour.” He said calmly glaring at his rolex wrist watch which suits his fair furry hand. But to me it felts like he was holding a gun and shouting ‘give me your god damn keys as the realisation of James meeting Meridth sheds down on me.

   I scoff trying to sound confident. Feeling more at ease that he didn't even noticed I cried my life out just a while ago.

   “Okay...” I managed to say not showing I care. He called the waitress to settle the bills whilst I walked off and waited for him by his car. He came out after a while and pressed the security on the remote key opening the car. I instantly shove myself inside his car without hesitation promising myself to stay focused by the window side and not stealing glances at his stupid gorgeous face.

    He turned the key in, starting the ignition. No one of us uttered not even a word to each other. I thanked goodness the journey wasn't a long one. Unfortunately I didnt keep my promise, he's  gorgeousness is way too much to be ignored by me by anyone probably.

   Now that his car is parked in front of our house, I tried to open the door only to realise it is locked. I glared at him and he was already starring at me. He smiled acutely, seductively licking his lips.

       “Wait sweetheart...”

      Will you quit it James? You calling me sweetheart only... Oh! Whatever I know I love you. And that cute smile also its seducing me.

   “we are going in together, I have to say bye to mom... Right? So she wouldn't think am a bad son in law.” He concluded leaving that acute smile that drives me crazy and makes me forget all of my worries.

        He honked and in just a bit, the gate opened. He parked in the parking lot and shut the car engine finally. He streched his hand to the back seat and brought out a bouquet of red, pink, yellow, and purple scented roses.

       Focus! Focus! Izzy , this flowers aiint meant for you... Well.. Maybe to your mom?

    I couldn't take my gaze off this beautiful scented flowers held in James beautiful manly hands. He pushed the security and the door opened. As I tried to open the door, he instantly grip my hand.

       I swear his touch was something I cannot explain. It was firm yet gentle and made my adrenaline hormones flutter.

       “Let me” he said sweetly before smiling.

     omg! That smile again. Those dreamy eyes! Damn it! James! I'll slice off your dick the next time you smile at me like this.
 
       I froze where I was sitted. He opened his door, walk pass the bonnet side and opened my door for me. Just as I raised up my head I saw mom peeping at us through the window. I now realise why James is putting on a you-are-my-girlfriend-let-me-treat you-right-attitude. I lowered my gaze onto James who offered his right hand chivalrously at me, his left hand held the bouquet of flowers.

        Omi'god do you need to be slapped a hundred times before you do the right thing? Its James! He's offering you his hand to grip at and you're just opening your big mouth starring at him. Really Izzy? Grip! Grip I say. The logical voice in my head said.

       And without hesitation I gripped and he gentlemanly pulled me out of the car pressing a slight peck on my forehead.

       Omi'god. Breathe Izzy breath. Why won't I breathe? Okay, nostrils please do me a favor by pulling in some air for my lungs to function, will you? Omg! Quit the blush, quit it already or else James will see how your cheeks has turned into a red tomatoe now.

      He then gently held my hands with his, inter wining our fingers. I can’t help but grin like a fool infront of him even after knowing he was just putting on a show for mom to see. I bet he had noticed her peeping through the window at us too.

       And finally we walked through the entrance door with me stuck in his warm body, his fragrance is so killing me. Before knocking on the door, mom had already opened it with a wide grin on her face. “You're welcome sweethearts” she said charmingly pressing us both a warm hug. I smiled, he smiled. “I should get going mom, I just wanted to make sure Izzy gets here safely. I have an appointment” He said in a respecting tone.

     “So, dining  with Meridith is now an appointment huh?” I muttered and I believe he heard me that was why he smiled at me. He pulled his hands away from mine in a romantic way I didn't know he even did it.

         “This is yours sweetheart” he said passing me the flowers.

    Crap! Don't tell me how tomatoe red my cheeks are right now... I know already. I'm pretty sure the butterflies in my stomach have taken marijuana by the way they are fluttering now.

     Well quit that nonsense and collect the flowers from him, will you? Asks the logical voice in my head.

       I stretched my hands and collected them whilst in the process my hands brushes against his fluttering me again and making me blush even morethan I was doing already.

     He flashed his brightest mr. cool smile “I'll call you later” before he winced.

     I need a slap, I swear I need one to help sobber me up. What's James like? A drama king? Wasn't he the one who just told me he don't love me and never will? And now he gave me roses, pecked me and hoping to call me later?

      Sh*i Izzy! Why are you so easily carried away by every single touch and thing James does? Can't you get it? He is simply putting on a show for mummy to see. For christ sake get a grip of yourself! Says the logical voice in my head.

      ‘Alright I get it.’ I responded back in my mind. But you can’t stop me from blushing even if its just an act he still pecked my right? And gave me flowers. Well thats worth it, I wouldn't ask for more.

      Mom pinched me on my tomatoe red cheeks with her index finger. “Ouch!” I shrieked. Bringing me back to reality from my dreamland.

        “You can stop blushing already, cause he's gone.” She said looking at my bizziare current situation/mood.

    “Oh..uhn... Yes!” I managed to say.

       Omg! Wait what did I just say? Or what did mum just said? James’ gone already? How? Isn't he standing just some footsteps away from...

I turned and looked left and right. But James is no where in sight. I peeped at the parking lot and I couldn't find neither James nor his amazing car.

       Holy sh*t what on earth is wrong with me? When did he walked off to his car? starts the ignition? the gate opened? he left? without me sensing anything. Jesus! I seem to be day dreaming anytime James is present, rather than to focus in reality and deal with what he told me earlier at the restor, my head and mind just seemed not bothered about it. So why will I bother too...? I love James thats all that matters!
