Just The Beginning ?
Episode forty seven
Alex
” Well…, “I ask waiting for an explanation. She’s been staring at the phone for a while without saying a word and she looks surprised.
I can’t believe that She’d do that to me ! I know we are not in any kind of relationship but I feel like she led me on and made me fall forher.I hate to say it but I can’t stop thinking about her no matter how hard I try. Am now stuck with this crazy feelings that hurt like a bch, especially now that I know she doesn’t want Me like I thought she did.
I’ve been trying to get her out of my mind, telling myself that it was only lust that led me closer to her, but that’s just a big lie! I don’t recall at which point exactly I fell for her, but I did.
I really love her!
I love her more than I have ever loved anyone in my life. I mean, with Stacy, it was all about fun and sx. I thought she was the one for me and i almost lost myself trying to please her but am glad that my eyes were opened and she’s now out of my system.
Stacy gave me what I wanted but Vee has exactly what I need. She makes me feel like i can be myself around her unlike Stacy whom I had to act a certain way with. She makes me feel so good in so many ways when am with her, without even laying her hands on me. And it’s so crazy what just the sound of her voice does to me. She has the power to make me shiver everytime she says my name.
Stacy never made me feel half of the things she does!
I think am totally and completely whipped!
I’ve been going crazy ever since someone sent me pictures of her and George kssing.
One of the picture shows them kssing in his office, while in the other they are in bed, and she’s comfortably lying on his chest like there’s no other place she’d rather be. There also a video that shows of her and George, walking in his apartment hand in hand acting all lovey dovey.
What does George have that I don’t? Why did she choose him? And all this time I thought that she wasn’t interested in him.
” How did you get this? ” she asks, her eyes showing confusion.
” That doesn’t matter? ”
” Just answer my question Alex! ” she says angrily. ” Who the he..ll sent this to you? ”
” I don’t know, okay? It was sent by an unknown number and I didn’t bother asking who it was, ” I say.
” But.. This is all a lie! Nothing is going on between George and I and I’ve never even been to his apartment! ” she says still staring at the pictures.
” So.. What you are saying is that all those pictures are not real? ”
“Yes, only the first one is real though.. But I didn’t kss him. He was the one that forcefully kssed me in his office. ”
” What? George would never do that! ”
” Well, he did and am more than sure he’s also the one who sent you the photos. ”
” Why would he go through all that trouble of faking the photos and send them to me? ”
” Because he’s jealous! He thinks that there’s something going on between us, ” she says anger clear on her face.
” Did he tell you that? ”
” No. ”
” Okay, let’s pretend for a second that the photos were photo shopped, how will you explain the video, ” I ask raising a brow at her.
” I admit that the girl in the video looks just like me but she’s not. Her face is not even clear. ”
” Oh come on! The girl doesn’t only look like you, she’s also wearing the same clothes you were that day! ”
” Am tired of explaining myself to you because it’s obvious you don’t believe me! And besides, whoever I date is none of your business. It’s not like I owe you any explanation. Let’s just go to the hospital before it starts raining. The weather doesn’t look good, ” she says looking out the window.
What she said hurts but she’s right. I have no say because am nothing to her.
The rest of the journey to the hospital is quite, with Vee to angry to even spare me a glance.
By now, i know her enough to know that she’s telling the truth. What I can’t believe is that George would stoop this low!
We go straight to the doctors office when we get to the hospital, and he gives us his approval to take Maya home. He also assigns a nurse for us. We plan the transfer for the day after tomorrow, so we can have time to prepare her room.
” I know that your apartment is big enough for all of us but there are only two bedrooms. I have no problem sleeping on the couch, but what about Rita? ” Vee asks as we are walking to the car.
” No one is sleeping on the couch Vee, I have everything figured out .”
” How, ” she asks curiously.
” I’ll show you, ” I say as I get the door for her.
“Okay, ” she says sliding in.
” Am sorry I acted like a jerk ,” I say as soon as we are on the road.
” Don’t worry, am used to that already and can you just drive. Am not in the mood to argue with you ,right now,” she say leaning on her seat.
” Okay, ” I say focusing on the road.i don’t want to make her more worked out than she us.
” Where are we going? ” Vee asks after a thirty minute drive.
She’s still angry at me and i can tell am the last person she wants to be with, right now.
” Just be patient vee. It’s not like am kidnapping you or something. ”
” Well, It sure does feel like you are, especially since I don’t know where we are going. ”
” Stop fussing, we are almost there, ” I say and she rolls her eyes.
In ten minutes, we reach our destination.
” Wow! This place is gorgeous, ” Vee say looking out the window as i park the car.
We are in my old neighborhood, which is one of the richest in the city. It has tree lined streets that give it a charming older and established feel.
It’s also the most neat, quite and homely neighbourhood ever! It’s a place filled with good memories and a place where I hope to start my own family someday.
” Yeah… It’s amazing. I actually grew up here, ” I say helping her out of the car.
” Really, ” she says still looking around. ” But.. What are we doing here? ”
“This is going to be our new neighborhood, ” I say and she looks at me confused.
” What? ”
” Yes, see that, ” I say pointing at a house a few feet from us. It’s ours.”
I can feel raindrops falling on me and so I take her hand, leading her to the house before we are caught up in the rain.
Vee is quite taking in the view in front of her as we walk to the house.
” Oh my.. This place is a fucking mansion, ” she says her eyes awed by everything they land on. ” I hope you didn’t buy this house because of Maya. You know we are only staying with you temporarily, right?
” Right, but I purchased the house about two months ago. It was going to be my wedding gift for Stacy. This was supposed to be our home, the place I pictured us having a family and getting old together, ” I say with a sigh.
” Am sorry that you didn’t get to have your happy ending. But on the bright side, this house is as amazing. I love every small detail in it. I bet you bought it fully furnished because the decor is out of this world! ”
” No, I actually bought and decorated everything in here, with a little help of course. I made sure that everything was in Stacy’s taste so she wouldn’t have anything to complain about. I even got her a portrait of Leornado DiCaprio and hang it in the bedroom that was going to be ours, just for her. She’s crazy for that guy, just like I was crazy for her. I was so stupid, ” I say shaking my head.
” You weren’t stupid Alex, you were stupid in love, ” Vee says letting out a small chuckle, making me smile. ” Do you ever miss or think about her? ”
“I don’t. It’s funny how I thought I couldn’t live without her but now don’t ever want to see her again. Am kind of glad that everything happened the way it did, otherwise I’d have spent the rest of my life with a psychopath. ”
” You are right about that! You really had a lucky escape, but… Are you sure that you don’t love her anymore, ” she asks nervously, biting her lower lip and just that small act makes my heart race.
” Am more than sure. I already have someone in my heart right now and she’s my only dream and fantasy, ” I say and her expression totally changes. She looks dissapointed and has this cute frown on her face that I can’t help but smile. ” You look so cute when you are jealous. ”
“What?! Am not jealous! ” she says creasing her eyebrows.
” You look even cuter when you are in denial, ” I say with a smirk, winking at her.
” Am not jealous, okay?! And are you going to give me a tour of the house or not? ” she says walking past me.
She’s so jealous and am loving it!
” Of course I am, come, ” I say taking her hand.
