I opened my mouth but it went dry, as i could not utter a word. “what the hell are you doing here?” he asked me. I immediately stood up as if the chair just developed heat suddenly. “ehm…..ehm… He is a friend” i stammered at last. He shook his head and walked toward me aggressively. I took few steps backward and i could see kelvin raise to his feet as well. He came close to me and said “Is this the stanleys? We are suppose to be together for christ sake! Nancy… Am so disappointed in you”. I blinked consecutively and said “Jordan, its not what you think”
trying to explain the situation to him.
I made to touch him and he flung my hand away as he matched out angrily. I had never seen him angry before and this made me so lost on what to do. I made to pick my bag and kelvin held my hand. I raised my head to look at him and he said “Dont worry about the bag, i will take care of it. Just go after him”
I wiped the tears that had form in my eyes and i grabbed my phone before i ran after Jordan. I ran as fast my legs could carry me. Fortunately for me, i met up with him almost at the complex exit. He turned back and looked at me for awhile and i froze, not knowing what to do. I was just hoping he would not create a scene and make me look like a cheating lover. Jordan grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the complex. He opened the door to his car and he made me sit in the front sit, after which he used the sit belt on me.
Jordan then entered from the other side and zoomed off. I felt as if my world was going upside down throughout the drive. The whole car was quiet except for Jordan’s occasional loud breathe. I thought of how to explain things to Jordan in order for him to understand but nothing came to my head apart from telling the truth. I thought about the reason i had for hiding the whole kelvin reappearance issue from him and i realised i had been wrong all through.
**********************
Jordan packed in front of his apartment and he hurried out in a flash, closing the door aggressively behind. I helped myself out of the car as well and slowly followed him. I entered his room and closed the door before taking my sit on a couch, waiting for what would happen next.
“so you lied to me?” Jordan shouted,bringing me out of my thought. “No its not what do you think” I said with a pleading eyes.
“So how is it? How do you explain the fact that you left me some minutes ago not minding that i am sick, claiming that you were going to the stanley’s. Just for me to go out shopping and catch you there with another man. Wait, is that not kelvin? I thought you said he left?” Jordan thundered. “Yes, he came back and the meeting is just a coincidence” i said with a shaky voice. Jordan scoffed and said “what coincidence? You do not know that he was back?”
“no i knew he was back” i said. “for how long now?” Jordan asked. “for like a week” i said and Jordan exclaimed “what?! A whole week and you could not even inform me? If i had not went to that shopping complex to exchange the ring, thinking that you rejected my proposal because you did not like the ring. I would not have find out that kelvin is back and you guys have been hanging out? Hun?”
“No its not like that, i just felt as if its not important to tell you. You know i can never cheat on you” i said slowly in tears. I felt as if i did Jordan wrong but i did not know the wrong i did. This made me cry the more. “Dont tell me you can never cheat on me because i caught you red handed, you lied to me nancy! You can never deny that” Jordan shouted. I looked down at my feet and slowly said ” I know it looks like i lied to you, or probably i should say i lied to you. But i only lied about kelvin, you did not even ask me about him so i do not know if you can say i lied. And about me saying i was going to the stanleys, its the truth. They came to check on me the day i was with you at the hospital, so i thought i should pay them a visit today. I was on my way there when Kelvin called me and he insisted so much that i could not turn him down. Thats how we ended up together.”
Jordan paced up and down and turned to me sharply. I froze, he came close to me and said ” you know what? I do not even trust you one bit!” i moved backward and said “jordan…please..” in a low voice. ” Just leave! Before i will do something i will later regret!”. Jordan shouted and i looked into his eyes, they were blood red. He was visibly shaking from anger. I thought of what to do and i realised the best i could do was to take my leave. I slowly wiped my tears and left.

Not until i got out of Jordan’s house did i realise that i was out of cash and i was not with my car either. The only thing with me was my phone. I thought of who to call and only Kelvin came to my mind. I took my phone and dialed his number. “Hello… Kelvin… Can you please pick me up.. Am stranded….”
