CHAPTER 23
**THE PARTY **
~NEW JERSEY CITY~
“Good morning sir” Romeo secretary greeted as soon as he got out of the car.
“Your nine o’clock appointment is ready and…..”
“Cancel it” he said as he head towards the office cafeteria.
“But it’s important, we’ve been waiting for months for this…..”
“I said cancel it! Right now I have somewhere more important to be” he said as he walked off while the other employees bowed in greeting.
He ignored it as his only main aim is to see Marie.
She had left in the wee hours of the morning, she had left without even saying a thing after what they had shared last night.
They had both consumed alcohol and had made love. Romeo hadn’t been expecting that, infact he hadn’t been expecting them to make love when he decided to use his chance to be with her last night.
He only wanted to spend more time with her and get to know more about her never would he have imagine that they would go as far as to making love but what’s done is done and he was expecting her to act up to it like an adult but the only thing she could do is to run away.
He got to the cafeteria and went straight to kitchen, he could hear her voice and it seems like she wasn’t alone.
He walked further in only to only to see her standing side by side with the head chef and immediately he felt his anger erupting.
His Jealousy swelling, she had left him just so she could come be with this man well he won’t be letting her off easily.
Marie focus was on the crab Charles was peeling when she heard someone cough behind her.
She turned only to see Romeo standing there. He had come earlier than she expected.
She knew that her leaving without saying a word would get him angry but she had been expecting to face him at home and not at work.
“Good morning sir” Charles greeted cheerfully.
“Can you leave both Marie and I alone” Romeo replied ignoring Charles greeting.
Marie noticed that he ignored Charles greeting which she found rude and she turned to Charles who was starring at her.
“What? Do you need her permission before you leave?” Romeo asked.
“No sir but I just find it odd that your first time in coming to your company kitchen is to speak to Marie ” Charles replied.
“Marie and I have something to discuss, so save us the time and leave” Romeo instructed but Charles stared at Marie who nodded at him before walking off.
As soon as the door was shut Romeo turned on her
“Why the h’ll did you leave like that?” He asked angrily.
“Why shouldn’t I? ” She asked in return.
“You knew we had to talk about it! Something happened between us you should have at least woke me up! Do you know how worried I was because I didn’t find you beside me when I woke up?” He asked looking all serious.
Marie thought for a while that his anger was mainly because he was worried about her but she thought wrong.
“Does my leaving without telling you a thing anger you that much? Well then I left and that’s mainly because I regret what happen” she lashed out at him.
“You regret it?” He asked.
“I do! Isn’t it ironic? For the first time in my life, I finally made love to a man but I can’t remember and to top it all I made love to someone who doesn’t love me” she said starring at him.
“Now Marie, I think it’s time you listen to….”
“It’s a mistake! Let’s leave it at that” she said cutting him off.
“Do you call it a mistake even though you were the one who started the whole thing. You kssed me first” he told her.
“And that’s why I left. I couldn’t remember a thing but when I tried to the only thing I remember was kssing you. I might have started the whole thing but I regret it, It was a mistake Romeo let’s leave it as that” she said to him.
“You are right! We were both intoxicated last night but that doesn’t mean it is a mistake” he said.
“To me it is and I know it is the same for you so please let’s forget it happened. We will be divorced anyway so there is no use talking about it” she said turning her back on him.
Romeo wanted to say more, he wanted to let her know that it wasn’t a mistake for him that for him it was the best thing but he couldn’t. The timing isn’t right, he thought.
“Fine then! Let’s forget what happened as you put it” he said and turned to leave.
“And I would like it if you refrain from coming to see me here. No one in the company knows about our marriage” she said behind him and he would have love to yell out at that particular moment that she was his wife and that she belongs to him but the timing just isn’t right. He thought as he walked out without giving her a reply.
He got back to his office and found Blake seated on his seat.
“So how did it go?” Blake asked.
“You dare to ask me that after what you did!” Romeo said as he walked towards Blake pulling him up by his shirt.
” Easy Romeo. You know I hate my face having a scar” he said.
“I should really give you an ugly bruising that will make all the girls stay away from you” Romeo threatened.
“Why are you so angry? I only did it to help you and marie” Blake said as he manage to pull away from Romeo.
“What? Did it go bad?” Blake asked.
“It did” Romeo replied as he narrated the whole thing that happened.
“Wow! My plan really got you two sharing a bed” Blake said excitedly.
“We did share a bed but it further distance her from me. She says it is a mistake and tells me to stay away”
“And will you? You’ve move a step by having your first night with her now all you have to do is to convince her that you two are meant to be” he said.
“How? ” Romeo said looking so lost.
“This is the first time I will see you look so lost. In the past you were always confident about bedding a girl but now you are the one seeking advise on how to get your wife love? I can’t believe this” Blake said laughing.
“This isn’t funny and Marie isn’t a easy girl. I learnt that while living with her. Can you believe that the allowance I made for her haven’t even been touched?” He asked.
“Then she’s someone who can’t be bought with money. If she can’t be pleased with any materialistic things then we will just have to capture her heart by showing her your loving nature” Blake said.
“How do we go about that?”
“I heard that the workers are planning a night out tonight. Why don’t we go ourselves?” Blake suggested.
