COMPLICATED

HEY EVERYONE! I FEEL ITS LIKE A WEEK SINCE I POSTED BUT LET’S JUST SAY I WENT ON A VACATION ..LOL..VACATION IS GOOD TO CLEANSE THE MIND AND TO EASE THE SPIRIT.

I NEEDED THAT TO REBOOT AND MAKE SURE I AM ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

I HOPE WE ARE ALL GOOD AND FOR THOSE THAT HAVE BOMBARDED ME ON WHATSAPP ABOUT  NOT GIVING ANY UPDATE..LMAO…HERE IT IS..

LET’S START FROM WHERE WE LEFT OFF  …YEA..RIGHT AFTER THE PARTY.

So Francis kissed her..hmmm…don’t you wonder if it is just for a pretense or a real thing. Let’s find out..

CHAPTER 31

 He looked out the window, the sky was tar-black and the large clouds were moving towards them. The  tapping on the window increased and turned into  pitter-patter.

People ran for cover as umbrellas were opened in the street as the cloud spat out their beads of water. Puddles began to form and the rain got heavier, hitting the roof of the car in a lyrical rhythm.

He had asked Steve to drive Debby home as her driver got sick and kept vomiting for having eaten too much. So it was just the two of them, she sat beside him as he drove, her head was resting against the window her hand wrapped around the medals they had been given as the best couple alongside the one she was given as being the most beautiful celebrity.    

It was a surprise and they hadn’t even expected it..He couldn’t describe the look on Debby’s face when she had lost the medal to Rosa. It was a surprise..he hadn’t even seen that coming.

She looked so sad and really lost in thought. Poor girl, she must be feeling like a betrayer. 

“Rosa, are you okay?” He asked.

She gave a sigh and replied. “I don’t think Debby will ever forgive me for this”

“The table just turned on her if you ask me you know?”

“How do you mean?”

“Well, you know she can do and undo anytime she wants something. She can use anyone and do whatever to getting it. She has always wanted this award and now you got it without even trying, don’t you think its Karma?”

“Karma won’t save me from her anger” Rosa replied.

“Believe me she won’t do anything to you. Just try to explain and stop punishing yourself”

She sighed again and then finally turned around to face him.

“Why did you do that?”

His brow went up.”Do what?”

“Did you kiss me just because you wanted to hurt her the same way she had done to you?”

He gasped.

“No Rosa, I didn’t kiss you  because I wanted to hurt her okay? I kissed you because..” He paused for a while , ran a hand through his hair..  “ …because those press vultures needed something which I gave..”

She was silent and later replied. “So you are saying you kissed me for the camera and the whole girlfriend thingy was a show also?”

He nodded.

“Yeah, and the whole girlfriend thing may last for a bit, I need to chase those ladies off of me and I saw it as the best opportunity in using you to drive them away. The kiss wasn’t  real so don’t stress yourself, it wasn’t a big deal” He lied.

An expression of hurt and disappointment flashed across her face, but she cleverly covered it up.

“Alright” She said quietly and said nothing more.

He knew he had hurt her feelings but why was she hurt? What did she expect? That he would tell her he had always wanted to kiss her since the other day or that he was beginning to have feelings for her? He himself wasn’t even sure of the feelings.

Besides, she had Luke whom she has a thing for..he wouldn’t mess that up for her.

“By the way, how is Luke? You didn’t tell me what happened after you talked”

“Nothing much, He only wanted to make sure that everything was cool between us”

“Has he finally asked you to be his girl friend?”

She smiled a little. “Not really but I have a feeling he would”

“And what will be your reply if he asks?”

She shrugged. “I like him,,there is nothing stopping me from saying yes. Is there?”

He smiled and shook his head. “ I don’t see why not”

Just then, her phone rang and she picked it. The name she called sent a chill of jealousy down his spine and he did much to ignore it.

“Hi Luke.”

She gasped and then turned to face Francis.

“What is it?” Francis asked.

She put a hand to cover the speaker of the phone and whispered to him.”He just congratulated me for the medals and said we need to see.”

“Was he at the event?” Francis asked.

“I don’t know” She replied and returned back to the call.

“It’s not what you think Luke ..please when I  get back I will come see you tomorrow”

She pressed a button and ended the call.

“What now?”Francis asked.

“I just need to wait and see” She replied

TO BE CONTINUED….

Awkward..

Wasn’t it?

From the chapter we got to know that she won the award that Debby had been wanting for herself alongside the medal with Francis as the best couple. Hmmm…lucky girl who is going to be in a serious trouble very soon!

The whole tension between these two is getting slightly boring and awkward I think. I will adjust it in the next chapter..

I didn’t really enjoy this chapter like the last but I do hope a view into our Iron lady Debby’s thought will add a little fire to it and a good conversation between Luke and Rosa will make things exciting too,

Thanks for reading and have a great day.
