CHAPTER 63
MERCY'S POV
I stared hard at him, believe? Really, believe? I travelled from Nigeria to here just to meet him, to be with him, end the distant relationship stuff and now that I am here he was busy with that bitch.
I did not even realize I was crying, I missed being in his arms, hugging him and him hugging me right now just made me weak. I hugged him back and breathed in his scent. He still smelt the same way but he looked different, he looked really handsome. Very handsome. Why did that have to happen?
What even happened?
The scene came back to my mind and I pulled back slowly,
"what happened? Tell me the truth and not that story you were saying."
He sighed and rubbed his head, I know he was frustrated, he was not expecting this, I was not too.
Something told me to just believe him but that scene keeps flashing. I need an explanation and not just that.
"I told you already Mercy."
I chuckled,
"do I look like a fool?"
I asked incredulously.
"Mercy, she knocked on my door when I got back home and I had already taken off my top. Anu told me to talk to her, tell her how I really felt and maybe she would stop then but it was a mistake. She tried to seduce me, took of her clothes while I was at the door, I opened the door for her to leave only to meet her naked. I closed my eyes and told her to leave before the count of three but she... she kissed me, I pushed her and she lands on my bed. I was about to tell her off when you opened the door."
Wait, was that a movie or something. How does it so happen that she falls on the bed,
"do you really expect me to believe that?"
I asked with a chuckle, he moved closer and held my hand, shit I missed him. I was not expecting this to happen.
"you know I won't lie about stuffs like these."
He said quietly,
"it feels like you are right now."
"trust me. please, Just trust me Mercy."
He pleaded, trust? My mind went back to all the drama that happened last year because of this so called trust. I did not trust him and look at where it took us. But Hakeem won't do that again, right?
He was fine now. I can see it and feel it. But can I trust him? I trust him what am I even saying.
"I trust you Hakeem."
I said quietly, and he looked relieved and happy like he was not expecting that. I learnt over the year that trust was more important in a relationship and I just felt he was saying the truth. And also he cannot come up with that kind of lie immediately, bah?
"there is a but, right?"
I nodded.
"look IÂ trust you but I am not staying in that house with that slut and if I ever find out that you are lying."
I cannot stay in that house oo, never and Hakeem too should better start packing abeg.
"I am not lying Mercy. You are the most important person in my life and I will never want to hurt you Mercy. All I do I have you in mind. You keep me going and you think I would risk that for who? Her? No. I would never. I am happy you are here and I feel worse that I broke your heart just the first day we met after a year. I remember when I was leaving, I told you I wanted to become better and even though I am I still manage to hurt you on the first day. I am sorry Mercy, that you had to see that. That you felt heartbroken because of me again."
Hakeem and his ways with words. I was no longer crying for what I saw, Eniola can go fuck herself. I was crying for what he said. Hearing and feeling that you are the most important person in someone's life except from your parent can be overwhelming.
I did not know when I moved closer and smashed my lips on his. I have missed him a lot than all these dramas. It felt just as I expected, the tingles, the butterflies everything was back in ten folds, what am I saying? Hundred folds.
After almost running out of air we pulled back,
"so, why did you not tell me you were coming?"
"I wanted to surprise you."
I said with a grin.
"I saw Anu too and sat down with her brother Luke, throughout the flight. That boy can talk."
I whispered the last part in his ear making him chuckle.
He pulled me closer placing his hands on my lower waist, his fingers slowly brushing my butt,
"you look really beautiful babe."
He said taking a good look at me, I was wearing a simple fitted grey gown and a black leather jacket on top. I wore a black ankle boot to complete the look and it was worth it.
"you look handsome as ever."
"I missed you like crazy and yeah, Luke can talk but he is really smart. He is studying medicine."
"he told me."
"wow, you guys really talked."
"I already know so much about him."
"should I be worried?"
"ahhh, it is you that knows that one oo."
I said back laughing.
"should we go to a hotel tonight and maybe go look for an apartment tomorrow?"
He asked, I turned to look at him with a grin before nodding. We walked back inside and I was quite surprised to see Halima and Eniola really at it.
Luke and Anu were just watching the fight unfold. For some reasons, I did not even watch the fight I stared at A nu, she seems so mysterious and it made her seem more fun. Luke was really engrossed in the fight and I can say it is because Eniola was not wearing much to cover her regrettably sexy body.
I am glad and proud that Hakeem resisted her to the end. I guess she really likes him but she should move on abeg.
"Halima, you know I liked him first and I am your friend you should support me."
Eniola said suddenly busting into tears,
"he has a girlfriend now, they have been dating for more than two years now, I can't support you. They have passed through a lot together and seriously they do not need this stress you are giving them."
Eniola ran upstairs after that and a bang was heard next. We all just watched the show,
"excuse me."
Halima said and climbed the stairs, slowly knocking on her door.
"Anu are you not going home?"
Hakeem asked suddenly once the noise upstairs calmed down facing Anu and luke who seemed like they were enjoying the live drama.
"we will. What is wrong with you sef?"
Anu said before rising from the bar stool she was sitting on.
"do you have extra room, that I can stay for the night?"
I asked since it was getting late,
"Mercy."
Hakeem called but I just ignored him, I would like to know more about Anu too. She does not seem all too friendly but her being that to me, I felt like we would be great friends.
"yeah, sure."
She replied leaving the area for Hakeem and I, Luke turned to us about to watch us too but I raised an eyebrow and he stood up. I wish he was my younger brother, we would so get along. I chuckled at my thought and turned to Hakeem who seemed angry, as if he can be angry at me.
"I thought we were going to a hotel?"
He asked,
"I know. I just want to get to know Anu too and it's late. I do not want to stress you. We will meet tomorrow."
"should we go together?"
"come on, just one more day."
I said with a chuckle. He placed his hands on my waist again and dropped a kiss on my forehead.
"I am really sorry about this babe."
"it is alright, Hakeem."
I said back brushing his cheek. It felt good to know we were back together, if I had not trusted him, we would both be busy sulking in our rooms and really, I would hate it if there is a repetition of what happened the last time.
We both kissed the last time before I finally left with Anu in her Bugatti. I sat at the back seat while Luke took the passenger seat. her car smelt and looked so expensive. i guess they were really rich.
"you guys are so cheesy."
Anu said with a grin making me giggle.
"how long have you been dating?"
She asked,
"yeah, how long?"
Luke asked from beside her making me laugh,
"we will soon celebrate our two and a half years anniversary."
I said with pride in my eyes.
"wow."
she and Luke said together. Yeah it was surprising.
"yep."
"I guess we will have a long night gisting."
She winked. Why do everyone love our story?"
why do everyone love their story?
and yeah,
Mercy did not repeat her mistake twice.
who else thinks Anu is mysterious, we will learn more about her in the next chapter.
happy new week.
love y'all
