Binded by friendship - Episode 20

 

Amyra's POV
I was cursing under my nose when I hit a big wall and stumbled back...

"Jesus!!!!Are you okay Amyra????"

"Yeah..." I stuttered...

"You don't look okay!!!!" 

"I am fine!!!!" I walked past him only to get my arm grabbed softly...

"What happened????"He asked in an authoritative voice...

"Why does every man today think he can manhandle me???" I thundered, twisting my arm from his grip..

"I am sorry I didn't m....."

"Just shut up!!!!You all say you didn't mean to hurt me only to wake up with a black eye and broken ribs...." I whined.

"I have never hurt a woman!!!!" He replied in a rough unrecognized voice...

"To hell with all of you. Men ain't shit!!!!" 

"Easy Miss Amyra...Just because one man lacks mannerism don't pin it on all men!!!!" It was obvious from the anger in his eyes that my statement pissed me off...

"All men are cut from the same piece of cloth!!!!" I rolled my eyes...

Adam cocked a brow at me and leaned closer that I could feel heat radiating off his body...

"You have never met me till today, I have never kissed you or fucked you the Adam way, You don't know who I am and I am seriously offended that you judge all men from one perspective . If you date shit, you will eat shit...." He whispered dangerously...

He was right and it made me unpleasantly guilty..

"I am sorry I....." I swallowed uneasily.
"acted like a bitch...." 

"That's another way to say it...." I laughed and tucked a strand of braid behind my ear..

"All that aside, can you join me for a drink???I wanted to blow off some steam...."

"Okay..." It was all I managed to say..

I wanted to give Jacob time off to go pick his senses wherever the heck he left them

. Because truth be told, I am not ready to fed on his shit.

I was naive and stupid once and that made me to almost lose my life...

"This is the first time I have come to a bar in sweatpants. Weirdly it's comfortable..." I chuckled sitting besides Adam at the bar counter...

"So what will you have Amyra????"

"Bloody Mary will do just fine...."

"I will have scotch..."

"Right away sir...." The waiter answered right away and went to prepare the drinks...

"So Amyra what brings you to the city of Love????"

"Do I tell you the truth or just lie and say I am here to take time away from work...." I chuckled..

"Here you go!!!!" The waiter placed our drinks before us...

"Thank you,"Adam smiled and shifted his attention back to me..
"I think I can handle the truth Amyra..."

"I am in Paris to have a good time with a married man...." I took a large gulp from my drink..

Adam didn't say anything but continued to down his scotch silently.

I know he probably think I am the worst being in the whole world. I bet he is probably asking himself if I am that desperate to ruin another woman's husband...

"I know you probably think I am the worst. For the record, I didn't know he was married and when I found out I left him. Then he convinced me he was leaving his wife and I believed it.  I know I shouldn't have gone back to him before he divorced his wife but I love him. I think I do and there is no day I don't think of Cindy and how she must be feeling about the divorce...."

He still didn't say anything...

"Adam I feel awful about it everyday. Sometimes I look myself at the mirror and hate the girl I see.

Read " My only addiction " by the same author ( Fideh Mwangi )

. I ask myself when did my life get so complicated??? I ask myself where did it all go wrong that I okay with been the other woman???My life is just a sick joke!!!!" I downed with one gulp the remaining Bloody Mary in my glass.

"I was a drug addict...." He said softly...

"What????" 

"Yeah, once upon a time my life was a sick joke too. I know how it feels to be between a rock and a hard place." He finished his drink and we both ordered another round...

"So I am the last person to judge you. Does he make you happy????"

"I guess but the mistress thing isn't settling well with me and when I confronted him about the divorce we ended up fighting...."

"A simple advice Amyra... Married men are very unpredictable...."

"Do you think he will ever divorce his wife????"

"I don't know Amyra, I don't even know the dude but all I can say it will depend with how much he will lose...." He replied dryly.

Seriously Amyra how did you expect him to answer that and he has never even seen Jacob...

"I am sorry for that stupid question..." I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly..

"It okay..Anyway enough with the married man. Tell me more about yourself..."

"I am Amyra Thira... The last born in a family of three, a divorcee and a hotel owner...."

"Did you say a divorcee????" He seemed genuinely shocked.

"Is that the only thing you grasped from all that???" I chuckled...

"I can't understand how any man would divorce you...." 

A blush crept my face as I looked down shyly...

"You are so beautiful and you seem like an amazing woman. A woman who cares about everyone and afraid to even hurt a fly..." He added...

"Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder..." I beamed and took a sip from my drink..

"Then this beholder says you are beautiful..."

"Enough about me, tell me something about you..."

"Adam Almasi, second last born in a family of six and I am here to have fun away from family drama..."

"What do you do????"

"I am not a broke dude or else I wouldn't be staying in a suite or invited you for a drink..."

"Go easy on me, I didn't mean no harm..." I said dramatically, placing my palm over my heart...

"You are one drama queen Amyra..." He laughed...

"I aim to please Adam...."

"Amyra love????" Jacob called out in a pleading tone behind me...

"Your prince is here...." Adam whispered. 

"Jacob, what are you doing here????" I turned around to look at him...

"I am sorry I....."

"Adam Almasi is that you. I am really so happy to meet you in person...."

Who is this Adam guy that Jacob wants to literally kiss his toes...

"Nice to meet you..." Adam strained a smile and stood from his bar stool..

"Amyra see you around...." He pressed a kiss on my forehead and walked away...

"You didn't tell me you know Adam Almasi???" He asked in a surprising tone...

"I didn't think it would mean a lot to you...." I replied icily...

I turned back to my previous sitting position and ordered another drink...

"I am sorry I mishandled you earlier..." Jacob said softly sitting on the bar stool Adam had sat on...

"It's okay!!!!"

" I will make it up to you. Tomorrow I can show you around the city and you can see the Eiffel Tower up close...."

"Okay!!!!"

"Am I forgiven????"

"Do I have a choice???We staying in the same suite. So it's either I forgive you or I have nowhere to sleep???"

"Love, you making me feel like the worst man to ever exist...."

"I will just say this once..If you ever manhandle me again, I will leave and never come back...Don't make me regret taking you back.."

"But I...."
" I am giving you one week to file for a divorce or else I will leave. I am done feeding on your shit..."

I finished my drink and walked out of the bar leaving Jacob wearing his horrified expression..

A/N
