Chapter 111 Not Romantic
“Then where is your wife? What happened to her because I haven’t seen any woman since I got here”
“She’s right” Paul thought. Christy might be enjoying herself with that guy while he’s here waiting for her.
“What do you want?”
“You know what I want, just make me feel at home”
Paul didn’t know how to talk to her the way he use to talk with Christy, he has never seen a woman that will bring out the romantic guy in him the way Christy do, he just took Bianca to the room and gets down to business.
“What is this?” Bianca ask herself, not even a sweet word? This guy is not romantic at all. I now regret ever leaving my boyfriend to get married to him” she murmured after Paul was done with her.
He went to sleep without asking how she was doing.
“Holy moly, what kind of a husband is this? I should have listened to my friends not to marry someone I don’t know. I guess their right now I know better.
Bianca keeps murmuring the whole time but didn’t know how to confront Paul about this.
“He will see me as a prostitute. No, am not going to tell him anything, I just have to do my best and teach him how to be a little romantic huh…. What kind of a boring husband is this? No wonder his mother is the one looking for a wife for him. Huh….” Bianca keeps lamenting over her misfortune of a husband.
Paul got up and went to take his bath preparing for work.
“Good morning honey”, Bianca greets Paul but he just look at her without responding.
“Did you sleep well last night?” She ask.
“No”
“Why?”
“I don’t know, just stop asking will you?” he walked out on her making Bianca to think maybe she has offended him in any way.
“But I haven’t done anything wrong to you this morning”
“Do you have to do something wrong to know that you are disturbing me?” he wanted to yell at her but remembered it wasn’t her fault.
“Look, I just want to be alone ok, today is Saturday am not going anywhere so we can talk later but for now I just want to be left alone.”
“Ok, I be in the guest room” Bianca said and left him alone.
“What is it, damnit?” Paul curse.
Instead of staying at home just as he said, he went out to be with his friends.
Patrick got busy making Paul jealous by talking about Sharon, how she is the best woman on earth, how he has been wasting his time looking outside.
James notice that Paul is beginning to get upset and he try’s to change the topic.
“So Paul how are you doing?” James ask trying to make Paul talk because he has been silent since he got here.
“Am doing great”
“You can’t be doing great with this kind of face” Patrick further aggravate Paul’s anger.
“What’s wrong with you man? Will you stop all this nonsense?”
“What are you talking about?, I only ask a question”
“What stupid question is that?, Are you trying to make me jealous?” Paul yell and James got ready to separate a fight that he thinks is going to happen soon.
“And why will I make you jealous? Are you still thinking about Sharon? Because I know that Sharon is not thinking about you so cut the bullshit” Patrick yell back.
“Is ok guys, you two can’t be fighting all the time”
“He started it” Paul yell at James.
“What did I do wrong?, I was only talking about myself and Sharon”
“And what do I have to do with Sharon who keeps begging me to fu*k her?” Paul said out of anger.
“Take that back” Patrick yell.
“I won’t” Paul yell back and they started another fight but this time James sat there looking at them, he was so tired of both of them.
“You know what? You guys can kill yourselves,” he went and took a glass of drink and starts helping himself while watching them fight.
They fought for a very long time but James didn’t bother separating them.
They let go of each other and sat down breathing heavily with Paul breeding from the mouth and Patrick from his nose.
James didn’t talk to them, he keeps sipping his wine.
“What’s with you?” Patrick was the first to break the silence.
“Do you have any ice in this house?” he ask James.
“No, you can go outside and buy one”
Paul didn’t say anything, he sat there regretting because he knew James is very angry at them.
“Am sorry ok, stop looking at me like that” he told James.
“Paul am so disappointed in you, I know Patrick always behave like a kid but you!, I didn’t expect you to fight in my house” James yell at Paul.
“Am sorry man.. but you are here, you are a lawyer right, so judge this na, you will see that am right”
“You may be right but that doesn’t mean you should act.”
“Yea, your right, sorry man.” He pat James on the shoulder and went to sit down, but Patrick went straight home.
“What happened to you?” Sharon ask panicking because she has never seen so much bruise on Patrick before.
“Is Paul”
“Have you guys been fighting?”
“Fighting? Yea, we’ve been fighting ever since we were kids” Patrick said looking for ice block.
“Are you serious? So what has been making you guys fight?”
“I don’t know, we fight for everything, you know what?, Paul thinks he’s the boss, but am not going to accept that”
“Ok, is there something you are not telling me? Because I don’t understand anymore”
“Paul insulted you in front of me, he can do that to me but insulting you is something I can not take”
“What did he say?”
“Forget it” Patrick said and start pressing his face with the ice.
“Wait let me do that for you” Sharon took over the pressing.
“Ah… take it easy”
“Am taking it easy, but Paul is going to tell me what he told you because I wouldn’t have him insult me again”
“Please don’t, I don’t want you to confront him at all”
“Why?”
“Just let it slide, he will not do it again”
“How do you know he won’t do it again?”
“He’s my guy, I know he won’t do it again”
“I don’t understand both of you, you fight today, tomorrow you are friends again. What is going on?”
“Look, he’s my guy, do you want me to stop talking to him?”
“I didn’t say so”
“Then let it go, he wouldn’t do it again.”
“Ok” Sharon drop the ice and went to the room thinking about what Paul might have said to make Patrick fight him. “I have to find out”
Sharon in Paul’s office the next day.
“Heyy… Sharon” Paul stood up immediately he saw her.
“Paul how are you doing?”
“Am doing fine, no.. am not”
“What happened?” she ask dropping her bag on his desk while walking close to Paul and holding his face with both hands.
“Am lonely Sharon, am in pains”
“But I had your mother brought in another girl”
“And what will I do with her?”
“What do you mean? You can’t keep rejecting all the women because of Christy”
“How I wish is that easy, you are lucky to have Patrick, he loves you Sharon”
“I know that Patrick loves me, and that is why am here”
Paul’s heart sink within him “ I hope Patrick didn’t tell Sharon what I said, oh my goodness am done for”
“So why are you here”
“What did you tell Patrick about me that makes him fight you?”
“Don’t mind Patrick is just a little fight”
“I know is a little fight that left all those bruises on his face, he would not tell me and you too;”
“Am sorry, it was just a slide argument but am so sorry if it hurts his feelings or yours”
“Well I don’t know what you said but what ever it is can you just shut the fu*k up, do you want to tell him about my pass?”
“No..no..no..no. I will never do that, I can never do that” Paul said regretting ever saying that to Patrick.
“Is ok, but can you move on with your life? You look like mess” she took her bag and left his office making Paul to rush to the bathroom to take a look at himself.
“What!” his mouth is covered with Bruises and it looks like he has been crying.
“I hope this is not how I was looking like when I was attending to Mr. And Mrs. Powell? Oh my God! That is why they were looking at me like that. Ohhhh… shit..shit..” he keeps hitting at the bathroom wall.
“But what is wrong with Patrick? Why must he tell Sharon this little thing?, he’s such an idiot."
