(*I want you?…*)
“No, I never did” she heard him loud and clear.
That’s how he’d always been. How would he love her? It was even ridiculous asking him in the first place.
She crossed her legs on the couch she had been sitting on all day and sighed out.
“What’s wrong? Why do you ask?”
“Jeff thinks you love me. He haven’t spoken to me in two days…” She choked up tears ,”and he hit me. He hit my face”
“What!!!” She heard him yell through the phone almost deafening her ears.
“But I’m fine now”
“I’m coming over soon”
“Please don’t…”
He already hung up. Sh|t! She don’t want him to come over. She had already heard enough for two days alone and when he comes, he might make things worse.
*Have you ever had feelings for me Dee?* that question…that voice that asked him that too tormented him even as he stood in the shower letting the warm water run all over him.
It would help clear his mind. But why did he deny it? What was he thinking?
He hit his fist on the wall of the bathroom repeatedly cursing at himself.
Will he really deny it forever? Is he that a coward?
He loved her! And heavens know he really do!
He had been keeping it in for a long time. And how cowardly, he never did anything about it.
*Have you ever had feelings for me Dee?*… What would she have done if he said he did?
He was right denying it because he would have complicated her life the more.
And that bastard hit her on top of it. He groaned in anger.
He stepped out of his shower and grabbed his robe. He walked into his room and to his closet.
He heard his door bell jingle just as he was about pulling off his robe.
He strolled to his door and flung it open to see Diane standing infront of his door.
Her face caught his attention. She was crying and those tears wasn’t something he’d take lightly.
He cupped her face peering closely,that jerk is the reason why she’s crying.
He h@tëd the thought of it and wished he’d snap that skinny jerk into two.
“Hey what’s wrong? I said am coming over to your place…” She fell into his skin shaking profusely.
He was deeply pained. No man has the right to make a woman cry.
He gathered her closer to himself comforting her. Why does he feel so useless and helpless right now? He sighed out;
“He isn’t good for you” he whispered into her hair but that didn’t help. It made her cry the more. He caressed her hair;
“You’re going to be fine. I promise”
She nodded with her face buried into his huge hairy chest. She cried for hours and when she finally stopped crying, she let him guide her to a seat and offered her his face wipe which she blew her nose with.
“Jeff don’t love me anymore. He’s turned into a monster” she complained bitterly while he looked on at her.
“He wasn’t good for you in the first place”
“He is…its just that…”
“It’s just nothing Diane… Take a good look at yourself. You look so pitiful and…” He stopped as his eyes ran all over her body…AND sëxY… he whispered beneath his breath.
“There you go again Dee”
“Go again on what exactly?”
“You stop talking and cursing at me in your head!”
He ignored her statement so it won’t make him break down.
“You h@të to hear the truth and that’s the problem with you”
She fell silent;
“Stop trying to make anyone love you. Stop trying to change yourself for anyone Diane” his voice pleaded.
“But am twenty-nine and still unmarried! Jasmine got married few months ago”
“You can’t compare yourself with Jasmine”
She furrowed her brows. Dee isn’t getting any of this at all.
All of her girlfriends are married. She can’t even visit Seattle anymore because of her mother’s whining about marriage.
“What do you think I should do now, sit around and…”
“Geezus Diane!! Grow up!! You graduated from catering college Diane!!”
“That won’t get me a man so easily”
“A man? Is that the most important thing to you in your life right now?”
Their eyes locked with each other and he shifted uneasily on his seat.
He was dying to look away from those eyes of hers but that spell kept pulling him in.
He darted his gaze to her lips and quickly looked away. He can’t be tempted otherwise, it might become disastrous afterwards.
She nodded her head slowly still staring into his eyes.
There’s a glint in those eyes of his which he is trying so hard to mask…she noticed, what is that?
It made the blue of his eyes a little bit deeper… Have that glint always been there or is she just noticing because she’s sitting so close to him.
“Can’t you forget Jeff? Forget dating and work on yourself?”
“Sound so easy to you right?”
“Why isn’t it?”
She moved closer to him and he almost flinched. He can barely handle sitting close to her with only a robe on his body and she dares to come closer?
Heck!
He might lose his control, he gritted trying to think positive at this moment not until his eyes found its way to her neck…how much he wanted to hold that neck of hers, kiss it, suck it and watch her Mõ@n under his own touch.
This thought made his divk tingle.
Sh|t!
He shut his eyes for a moment, he wasn’t listening to anything she was saying any longer until she shoved him hard on his shoulder;
“Hunh”
She scoffed.
“There you again! Do you ever listen to me at all Dee. I know I might still look like that teenage kid of yesterday to you but can’t you at least hear me before fazing out?!”
“I’m sorry”
“Of course you always are!” She sobbed; “Dee, I don’t need a job right now. I need a man in my life” she added still sobbing.
It hurts. So much.
He told himself as he offered her his kerchief this time.
“And Jeff??”
“We broke up few moments ago”
Ridiculous!
She just broke up and now she needs another man? Should he be upset or happy?
“Diane you are hurting yourself! Do you even know what you want?”
“I know what I want”
“Hell no, you don’t!”
“I do!!”
“Now tell me, what do you think you want right now?”
She pulled in closer resting her gaze on his lips;
“…you…”
“What?”
She pulled in closer. She rested her hand on his chest and he sucked in a deep breath and when she pulled her hand away, he felt like his diaphragm just restarted.
What’s she upto? What has come over her?
“What…you… doing?” He stuttered out nervously,
“I want you…”
