However, one thing was clear to Jennifer that night and it was the fact that Kaycee was a good but complicated man. They talked about so many random things at first before they finally got into intimate issues. “Are you single?” he bluntly asked out of nowhere, “Yes I am” she elegantly answered. The conversation was about to get more heated and it was apparent that both of them where ready to dig deeper.
“To be honest, I think I am attracted to you” Kaycee said, “Think? Why not wait till you are sure before voicing out” Jennifer jokingly said and they both laughed. “I really like you and want you in my life” Kaycee added and before they could continue the conversation, his phone started ringing and didn’t seemed like it was going to stop. Jennifer was quite irritated by the constant excuses he was taking in order to step out and receive the calls. She also noticed how his body movements were when he answered the calls from a distance; “Something just doesn’t feel right with him” she said to herself as she watched him.
After several trips to receive calls, Kaycee finally switched off his phone in order to pay attention to Jennifer but it was already too late because she had gone out of the mood for the talk they were having earlier. They talked about more random stuffs before the date came to an end.
Kaycee walked Jennifer to her car and bid her ‘Goodbye’ as she left first. There was just something fishy about him and she could feel it deep down in her heart. The fact that they weren’t in a relationship made her less bothered about what he could be hiding. Well, they say before you make a Big decision or take a huge step in your life, it’s always good to consult God first so he can reveal what your eyes can’t see.
There and then, Jennifer said a short payer to God and ask that if Kaycee was another ‘Time Trap’ and not the one for her, it should be revealed in due time. Turns out that Kaycee was a chronic womaniser that was popularly known for his womanising. How stupid Jennifer felt the day she found out with her two naked eyes.
One fateful morning, Jennifer needed to make a quick stop at a hotel in order to book rooms for some delegates from another company that was to pay their firm a business visit. When she arrived at the hotel, she sat at the lobby awaiting for some payment process to be finalised.
As Jennifer waited, her eyes spotted two people that seem like couples at the other end of the lobby and it seems as though they were about to check-out. She blushed and watched closely for a while, only for her smiles to vanish when it became clear to her that the man she had been looking at for over 4 minutes was Kaycee.
“Oh My God!” Jennifer shockingly said as she watched Kaycee kiss the lady over and over again in a playful manner. Jennifer’s heart skipped several beats and it seemed as though she had hit a trailer because the shock was too much for her to bear. “How could he?” she wondered as she stared at the two love birds. At that moment, the hurtful feelings she experienced with Kendrick came back again but not as intense because her and Kaycee were never really in a relationship, but it was still hurtful regardless.
As Kaycee and his beau continued with their love play, Jennifer was called upon by the receptionist and that was her moment to make herself seen by Kaycee. As she walked down to the receptionist desk, their eyes jammed together and she removed hers first. He was utterly dumbfounded and wasn’t able to utter a word till she had left. The fact that Jennifer caught him red handed kissing the lady, made any excuse he would have given pointless. He played along till she walked out and that was when he immediately excused himself from the lady he was with and pursued after her.
“Jennifer hold on let me explain” Kaycee said but Jennifer kept walking without looking back. Unable to give up, he pursued her and finally caught up with her. “Can I explain?’ he soberly asked, “To be honest, you don’t owe me any explanation but rather you owe the lady you are with an explanation for leaving her seated at the lobby and going after another woman. Move away please, I need to get into my car and head to somewhere important” she bluntly said and zoomed out.
On the ride back to the office, Jennifer cried because she really liked Kaycee and thought he was going to be different than the rest and hopefully her final Bus-stop. It pained her to see her life go towards the direction it was going without a positive change for a start.
“God when? When will I have my own man that will love me completely and want me the same way I want him? What have I done wrong to deserve this manner of emotional torture all the time? I’m just tired” she soberly said as she drove down to work. That day was a very sober one for her as she couldn’t stop thinking about the heartache and disappointment Kaycee had caused her. Despite the fact that they weren’t in any relationship yet, she was human and felt betrayed because he was actually leading her on.
Thankful to Jennifer’s friends, they were able to cheer her out of depression and were sure by her side at those trying times. Gradually, Jennifer started giving up on Love and harbouring the mentality that maybe she wasn’t meant to get married after all. Gradually, all her proposal and wedding fantasies and dreams started vanishing. It got to the point where Jennifer stopped giving anyone access to her life at all. She was approaching 30 years and her walls became even thicker and harder to penetrate. She had already given up on herself, Love, and all the fantasies she used to live with for many years. The reality of her predicament made those dreams and fantasies look like a myth to her.
