HEART ROBBER : CHAPTER 11 – 20
CHAPTER 18
The party was nothing like Diana had expected, the compound space were occupied with chairs and all the seats were occupied with wonderful kids that had graced the occasion.
From the gate, a big stand banner of a smiling Abby in her pink ball gown with silver baby heels and a crown with a theme boldly written as… ”HAPPY SIXTH BIRTHDAY PRINCESS ABBY”
Diana is overjoyed with the turnout of the party, they had accounted for 20 kids and a dozen parents but as of now the kids are little over 50 with 25 parents and adults.
Diana smiled to herself as she glanced around although she doesn’t even know half the people that had turned up for her daughter’s birthday but she is immensely grateful for their presence.
The only thing she had really overseen was the food, very early this morning her cousin Betty had showed up for a surprise visit and the timing couldn’t be better.
She wouldn’t have been able to handle all of this on her own , so when Betty called her at 6am to inform her that she was at the airport, she was super happy to have her here.
Philip had gone to pick her up and since then they’ve been extremely busy planning the party.
Martha had foreseen the children’s parcel with Betty While Philip had organized those that had the decorations done and even got a pop corn and cotton candy stand
It was beyond amazing, and then Jimi had invited the entertainers, the DJ, the mc, the telle clowns, a bouncing castle and a face painter…… They put everything into consideration and she barely even lift a finger
Honestly, she didn’t imagine it to turn out so great and the kids seem to be having endless fun even the adults are having a mini section at the back.
They had started this party at quarter past two, and now they are still kicking it off at six.
Betty snozed at the cake and pat Diana’s shoulders nodding her head in delight
“You’ve really out done yourself cousin. What an awesome party you are throwing. I mean even when you told me you were throwing a party I thought it was going to be another one of your cocktail lunch were you bore the kids to de.ath in your living room.
I won’t lie I came here to assist you because I know you couldn’t handle it on your own but you beat me to it”
“Ahhah I am not even going to argue, It’s really wasn’t me, my friends did all of it. I am still in shock at how amazing it all turned out”
“They are such wonderful people, they’ve beat me to it, I couldn’t even throw Abby such a mind-blowing party. I must confess I am learning a few tips on how to throw a fantastic birthday party”
“You did great Beth, am so glad you are here” she pulled her closer in a soft hug
“Me too Didi ,am glad I did.. And this cake is divine. I can’t wait to get my hands and mouth on it”
“Yeah. A friend and colleague of mine baked it, she’s pretty good huh”
“Hmmm since when did you start making friends here and there. Especially the ones that matter like all the fine faces am seeing here”
“Betty” diana shook her head
“What! Is not everyday you see good looking men at a kids party”
“And you are a married woman”
“It’s a good thing I don’t wear it on my forehead” they chuckled
“Anyways I got to go rock this booty ” she winked and excuse herself
The DJ plays a song Betty loves as she starts to dance over to the adult section which was on Phil’s balcony where all the adults were packed during adult things and mostly alcohol
Betty is a plump sweetheart with low cut dyed the sharpest gold. Her obsession with Abby’s birthday has always been so strong, ever since abby was just a little girl and now she’d fly all the way just to be with her today…
Sometimes she forgets she’s married actually most of the time but her husband was such a darling and understand gentleman who loves his wife just the way she is.
Finally, it got dark and eventually to the end of the party. Slowly, the guests were leaving and saying their goodbyes. It was at that time Diana finally noticed some people.
Mr Murphy was here with his daughters, and also Steve Philip and Jimi’s friend, then some women from the church and their kids and also there’s Marty’s aunt and her sons.
It’s funny how Abby relates so well with the kids even though she has only met some of them a few times and she is meeting some of them for the first time. She was being very friendly and accommodating.
Something her mom couldn’t even do with the adults
When everyone had finally left, they all camped in Diana’s living room watching a comedy series. Diana gently excused herself from the gathering to drop a plate in the kitchen.
Strangely Diana felt followed but she wasn’t scared because everyone present here now was like family. After opening the fridge to grab a bottle of water, a body bump her from behind she turned to face a very big brown eyes it was very dark but she could still make out who it was
“Jimi… ” she muttered
“Yeah it’s me ”he murmured slowly then cracked
“Did I scare you”
“Not really…What are you doing back here ”
“I. .I.. Came here for you”
“Okay. Well let’s go back then”
He held her back and stagger forward
“What are you doing”
“Am.. ” he placed his chin on her shoulder and sniff
” you smell like barbeque and ice cream and chocolate”
“Huh huh and you are so drunk” she pulled away from him
“Yeah! But do you know what all this things have in common, they are all tasty and delicious.. That’s exactly how you will taste Diana”
“Okay big guy. ” she pushed forward
” I need to go back and you need to get a grip of yourself”
“I can’t, you’re driving me crazy”
“You are crazy drunk, that has nothing to do with me”
“I don’t know what you are doing to me and now I can’t resist it anymore”
“What on earth are you talking about Jimi.”
“What is it with you and black dresses..”
” Really”
Diana stared down at her black overlapping jumpsuit, she had just thrown it on when she wanted to take pictures with Abby she hadn’t really been concerned with the color
“I’m just not a color person, bright colors are just not for me “she explained softy
” but really have you been paying attention to the color of my dresses Jimi”
“Trust me I pay attention to everything about you, your smile, your mood, your style, your personality practically everything”
He inched closer that his nose was almost touching hers ” everything Diana”
Diana pulled back, stepping further away from Jimi.
“And where are you running off to sweetness, we’ve got to figure this out tonight. ” he held her wrist
“And I’m not interested stop touching me”
in an instant Jimi pulled her closer to him smacking her to his chest and before she could protest his lips claimed hers in the most passionate way. He tightens his grib around her waist and deepens the kss moving roughly and faster.
Diana’s breathe seized immediately, what was going on was she dreaming? Why was Jimi kssing her like mad man, for a few minutes she stayed frozen but when he didn’t stop she pushed with all her might but he was too strong.
If he didn’t stop anytime soon she was going to collapse because she was running out of air and at his own time Jimi pulled away looking worn-out from the long kss himself.
Diana took several steps backwards breathing heavily. Jimi had just kssed the life out there her in her dark kitchen
“What was that, how dare you Jimi?
She managed to ask touching her swollen lips.
“Ah I was so wrong, you didn’t taste like chocolate or barbeque you taste even better…I can’t even describe it, I’d kss you a hundred times if I have to ”
He edged closer but she threw both hands out to stop him with two sIaps to his face
“Are you out of your freaking mind… Do I look like one of your puppet.. This has been such a good day and I can’t believe you just ruined it for me by being such an ho.rny drunk so am going to pretend like this never happened so pls get out,”
“What! Was I so bad, wow I always thought I was a great ksser but you are heavenly Diana, you have no idea how great that felt”
He closed his eyes and held his chest
“And you are crazy Jimi, Wake up Jimi, I don’t want you to ever do that again just leave already before I create a scene”.
“Can’t you see this is all your fault, every ducking time my heart thuds like its raining”.
He grabbed her wrist and placed her hand on his chest.
“Do you feel that Diana it won’t stop please make it stop.
“I get it you think am an ho.rrible person and am not worthy of you but then why are you making me feel this way…
Anytime I am around you, or I hear your name, or think about you this happens and lately all I think about is you lately just you, it’s almost unbelievable.”
Diana remained quiet
“And do you know what kssing made me realize. I can’t wait to really be with you. You are impossible to let go of”
Words seem to have failed Diana. She only stare at him and kept mute
“I won’t rush you sweetness, you are worth every wait.”
He wanted to kss her again but she put her hands on her face and turn away quickly
“Pls just go Jimi….I can’t deal with this nonsense anymore, so leave.. Right now”
“Ok .ok am sorry , I’ll let you be now.
Have a lovely night sweetness”
He stepped out of the house. Diana stayed frozen until she heard door slamming that showed he had gone. She released a wave of breath she has been holding back since he kssed her
As she replay what just happened in her head, for a moment, she wouldn’t lie she wished she didn’t have a past with Jimi and she could enjoy the moment they just shared but it’s not possible.
This same guy cannot be ruining her life yet again.
******flashback *******
Diana :
I woke up to gentle snobs and nose sniffing, at first I thought I was having a bad dream where the I was tormenting and bu.llying my haters and they were crying in shame but even with my eyes open I could still here the tiny sobs
I jumped when I realized that it was Dorcas crying, it was the middle of the night for Christ sake Why Was she crying. I hurried to her bed next to mine and shook her gently
“DC, what’s wrong ”
I sat beside her, she wiped her tears quickly when she heard my voice
“Oh Did I wake you Didi, am sorry, just go back to bed”
“Only if you tell me why you were crying”
“I wasn’t crying ”tears spilled even more
“But you are crying DC , stop scaring me and tell me what’s wrong, are you feeling uncomfortable.. Is it your menstrual craps”
“I wish it was menses Diana”
I was even more scared, Dorcas never calls me by my full name something is really wrong
” I’m about to go nuts here Do you want me to call mom”
“No no Didi, don’t call mom” she sounded frightened
“Why not”
“Because it is not something that you can tell mom”
“Please tell me then DC I can keep a secret, you know have kept so many”
“This is different”
“How”
“I’m so ashamed of myself”
“Did you ki.ll someone” I had to ask, that’s like the worse crimes
“God! No”
“Then it can’t be so bad”
“How can you say that”
“Am just running through options here

“I’m not joking either, if you trust me well enough you’ll spill, stop beating about you’re scaring me”
“I’m Pregnant ”she blurted out and my eyes widened
“What! ”I couldn’t keep my shock face ”
“I’m pregnant ”she says softly and it rang a bell in my eyes
“Are you pulling my legs”
“Will I be crying for jokes”
“Okay.. How did this happen”
“You know when a guy and a girl get together and they have unprotected sx this happens”
“I don’t need the drill, I mean who’s responsible”
“I am Didi, this is my problem”
“Who got you pregnant DC”
“That’s Not important”
“Of course this is important. Mom and dad are going to freak out you need to talk to someone. Talk to me please and don’t give me that you are still a kid look coz I’m not and you obviously need help. So just open up pls”
“You are just going to judge me”
“I won’t, I promise”
“It’s Jimi Benson’s and the worst thing is he doesn’t even care, he used me and dumped me and now I’m pregnant” She cried harder.
