Chapter twenty five 2
door.
Well she lived in the horrible conditions but at least her house looked slightly better.Less trashy environment, slight fresh air and there were no idle drunk a*sholes lying around.Sweat started trickling down my neck as I knocked softly on the door.
It took her a while to finally open.Why does she look like she was crying?When we looked into each others eyes all I could see in hers is broken pieces .
I wanted to cup her face and kiss her eyes assuring her that this is the last time I am gonna make her cry but I wasn't sure I would mean my words.
When I wrapped my arms around her, I realized that everything around me felt complete as her touch sent electric shocks right through me.I will never let you go Jemima.I never felt more like myself than when you are wrapped in my arms.
"What's going on here?" I heard a familiar angry voice ask behind me. is that Matt?I turned around ready to throw something in that a*shole only for him to look at me unapologetically for ruining my moment with my Jemima. He also brought flowers? Matt you better gather Boaz army because you are a dead man
"What are you doing here?" I asked between closed teeth and he just smiled victoriously as if he had won some damn trophy.His smile irritated me.His happy face disgusted me.
"Stop smiling you fool..." I was ready to pounce on him but Jemima held my hand.
"I invited him here.We are supposed to go on a date..." Jemima replied dryly.There was coldness in her voice.My jaw dropped as I felt a slash on my heart.She instantly dropped my hand and I felt this massive emptiness.It felt like she was slowly slipping away from me.She just said she missed me few minutes ago, what changed?
"Hey Matt?" She hugged him and the a*shole smiled wickedly at me.
"Hey gorgeous, you aren't ready? We have alot of places to go to..."Someone give me his shirt, I want to throw up on it.
"I brought you flowers but I think I should go you have company..."
"You would have done that the moment you saw me here" I cussed out only for Jemima to roll her eyes at me.
"Matt you stay. Drake you should leave now, it's not appropriate for a dating celebrity to be seen in a simple girl's house..."Before I could even explain myself, she turned to Matt and they continued chatting like I wasn't there.
"How did you know I love roses?"
"I did my magic..." Matt winked at her and she looked down shyly.It was a torture looking at them.My body, soul and mind was craving for her but there she was looking happy with another man.
Only the heavens understand how angry and rejected I felt. i have never been rejected before.Is this what it really feels? Like your world is crumbling down.I hate this feeling to the pits of my stomach.
"Jemima?" I call her in almost a whisper, a sob choking me.She doesn't look back and when I touch her hand she pulls it away like it's on fire.
"I said I am sorry.You always understand me Jemima, you always forgive me.Why not this time?" I know I sounded desperate but didn't care.
"You don't respect relations.You don't know what friendships means.You don't deserve my friendship.You are a lying manipulating a*shole and I don't want to see your face anymore..."
Her words broke me that I could physically feel it. It was affecting my whole body."But you said you had missed me earlier..." I stammered, praying and hoping all that's happening before my eyes is a bad nightmare.
"You love playing with my emotions, why can't I play with yours? "Damn! That was savage.
"But..."
"I think you should go..." She walked closer towards me that we were standing nose to nose, "Take with you what you came with..."
She pulled back a little, placed Matt's bouquet of roses on the table and slapped me with my the banquet of roses on my chest,"'Don't forget the box.And please stay away from me "
"Burn them." I threw the banquet on the floor and began walking out of there.I felt tears in my eyes and just one blink and they would drip.Why should I stand there where as I don't know how to fix it anymore.
"And please delete my number." She yelled behind me.
