Chapter 110 Options
Bianca didn’t know what to say so she kept quiet.
“Well, I want you to listen to me very well, and I will say this in capital letters “I AM MARRIED got that?” he left her and walk to his bed room locked the door after him.
Bianca stood there looking helpless and foolish.
“I think I have to go back, I don’t have to take this insult because I want to get married.”
Paul try sleeping but he couldn’t find where all the sleep has gone to, he try’s to take his mind of what he saw earlier but no, even though he tells himself that he didn’t want another woman, he still needs someone beside him and Christy is making everything very hard for him. He walks to and fro his room trying to calm himself down “ Paul calm down, don’t fall for this” he keeps speaking to himself.
Bianca made up her mind to try for two more weeks and if nothing works she is going to give up and leave.
“Hi Paul why are you so dull today?” Patrick was the first to speak.
“What do you expect?, My mom brought in another woman and am having a hard time in my own house”
“Hahaha, guy you are very lucky to have a mom like that”
“You call that lucky? You never know until you get one like mine, I know she loves me but this is too much, am sorry but she’s a pain in the ass”
“Hahaha they laugh at him the more “ so how are you dealing with her?”
“Menn… she’s just a temptation”
“Oh my goodness, look if I were you, that would have been a done deal, hahaha” Patrick said.
“I know you man, thank God is not you” James cuts in.
“But on a serious note Paul is wasting time, I heard his mom already paid her bride price” Patrick added.
“Really?, Then what are you waiting for” James yell.
“I can’t believe both of you, and you say you are my friends”
“Of course we are your best friends and we are telling you to go on before you completely lose it”
Paul went home weighting the options, “ should I do it? Or should I not, because once this happen, am in full time. No I will wait a little more”
“Welcome, I made your food” Bianca said hoping to hear a No, but he walks to the dinning table.
She smiles and rush to serve him.
“Did you cook this?” Paul ask instead of saying thank you.
“Yes, did you like it?”
“Is fine”
“Thank you, should I bring more?”
“No am fine, what about my daughter?”
“They’ve gone to bed”
“Has she eaten?”
“Yes”
“Ok thanks”
“You’re welcome”
She took away everything and went to sit down at the sitting room without talking to Paul again.
“He was expecting her to disturb him but no, she’s done with him”
“Are you serious? She can’t even ask me how my day went?” he murmured still looking at her.
“How was your day?” Paul ask her.
She turned to look at him.
“Boring”
“Do you want to go out?”
“Yes, I will love that”
“Ok, I can take you out, to say thank you for the meal”
“Ok, I will love that”
He took her out and they have some drinks.
She keeps making Paul to drink and he allowed himself to get drunk because he already knows what she want, but if at all he is going to do that, let it not be with clear eyes.
They got home and then she helped him into the house, she drag him to the bed room and lay him on the bed.
She decided to sleep in Paul’s room that night.
He woke up with Bianca lying down beside him.
Paul looked at himself, everything he was putting on last night was still on him.
“Hmmm, I guess nothing happened” he murmured and walk to the bathroom leaving her still sleeping on the bed.
“I thought she was really going to do something!, What kind of a local girl is this?” he continues to murmur as he takes his bath.
“Good morning” she greeted him as soon as he came out of the bathroom.
“Yes, morning”
“Oh.. I slept here? Am sorry I should have slept in the guest room” she said getting up to leave.
“No don’t worry, is not a problem, you can go on and sleep am leaving anyways”
“Are you serious just like that?” she ask herself in a whisper.
“I think I will be late today so don’t wait for me” Paul said because he noticed that she has been waiting up for him.
“Ok, but are you coming back”
“Yea, I will”
“Ok” she said and walk out of the room.
Paul nod his head slightly “Yea, I think she’s good” he said in a low tone.
Christy wasn’t finding it funny that she cannot see Paul again, he doesn’t come looking for her again, not calling Bridget to check up on her again. Just what is going on?.
“Bridget is something wrong with Paul?” she manage to ask casually.
“Nope, why do you ask?”
“Nothing, is just that I’ve not been seeing him around anymore so I thought maybe something is wrong with him”
“I thought you took his number the other day?” Bridget ask.
“Yea, I did”
“So just call him”
“Not that easy”
“Why?”
“Forgot it, you won’t understand”
“Ok, suit yourself”
Lucky would not let Christy be, he keeps disturbing her to go with him after all he has help her got a contract and has be taking care of her some how, but Christy has refused to go with him.
“Look I told you am busy, I will come with you when am less busy”
“And when will that be?”
“Soon”
“How soon?” he ask because he is getting fed up with her excuses.
“Next week”
“Next week then” he left not happy with her.
At the end of next week Lucky is already there to take her home.
“Hey.. you came early”
“Yea, I have to or don’t you like it”
“No, is ok” she went with him to Lucky’s place, they eat and talk, laugh, tell stories and talk some more.
“Lucky please wait” Christy pushed him away.
“What is it?, You don’t want me?”
“That’s not it, but I need to take my time”
“Is be six months I’ve known you, is that not enough time?”
“Look, is not like that, I thought I could do this but....
“But what! Answer me, but what?”
“You are yelling” Christy said as she got up from her position.
“Am sorry am yelling is because you are giving me no choice, for goodness sakes, I have given you enough time, just tell me you don’t love me”
Christy wanted to say “yes”, but that may sound rude.
“Come here Christy” he try’s to calm her down by talking to her in a low tone that seem hash.
“You’ve known me all this while, and you know that I love you” lucky continued.
“Yes I know, but am asking you for more time, I have been through enough so is becoming almost hard for me to have sex, I think I have to see the doctor and explain to him.
“Is that serious?” lucky ask making a face.
“I think is serious” Christy said hoping that he buys that.
“Then you need to see your doctor immediately, because a beautiful woman like you can not just waste away like that”
“What do you mean by that?” she smiles at him.
“Am saying the truth, what ever happened to you back then must be very serious for it to affect you this way”
“Yea your right, and sometimes I even see people in my dreams, is as if am forgetting something but am trying hard to figure out what it is”
Lucky let her out of the hook and she went home not feeling happy because she can’t bring herself to love lucky. something just doesn’t feel right but she can’t place her fingers on anything.
Paul came back home but didn’t see Bianca waiting for him at the sitting room.
“Thank goodness she obeyed my instructions”. He went straight to his room and saw Bianca lying on the bed wearing just a little piece of night gown that almost reveal everything.
“This is not good” Paul murmured. He didn’t want to wake her up so he quietly went to take his bath and move his sleeping things to the sitting room.
“What is all this?, Why can’t I have peace in my own house? Why has mother sworn to make my life miserable?” he was still talking when Bianca came looking for him.
“Your back, I didn’t see you walk in. And why are you sleeping here? Come to your room”
“I..I…I.. there is heat in there so I thought of cooling off here”
“Really?, Ok maybe I just stay here with you” she makes her way to the chair nearest to Paul’s position.
“Oh shitt.. I can’t do this, Paul you can’t do this” he keeps reminding himself as his heart starts racing like a car on high speed.
He stood up, took his pillow to go to his room, then she starts following him.
“What are you doing?”
“Paul am your wife, am not just here because I want to be here”
“Look am married” he said pointing at the place where Christy’s pictures are.
