Binded by friendship - Episode 25

 

Amyra's POV
Jacob's phone rang loudly beside the nightstand and I could hear him  groan on my neck as he drew his arm from my waist.

"Who is calling me so early in the morning????"

I was grateful to whoever was calling. I had lied to Jacob I wasn't feeling well and promised him that we would have s*x today morning...

Since he showed me how little he thinks of me even a little kiss from him disgusts him...

"I will just take this...." He pressed a kiss on my forehead which made my insides churn and got out off bed...

I slowly shifted and turned on my back as I watched him walk into the bathroom...

I have to find out what calls are these that he has to answer them in the bathroom.

I tiptoed from the bed and walked to the door where I leaned on to hear his conversation...

"It's not that my love...I have been so busy that I forgot to call you..."

"Of course not my love...No woman can distract me. I only have eyes for you..."

I felt tears spill down my face but quickly wiped them away. . This son of a b*tch has been lying to me...

From that conversation, there is no way he is planning to file for a divorce...

"Hey my princess, how is school??? Have you missed daddy????"

"I will come home soon. Just take care of your mother and brother for me....."

"Of course my princess I will bring you a lot of gifts..."

"Love you too my princess, give the phone back to your beautiful mother..."

"My love, how is everything????"

"I will figure something out...I won't let us lose the old man's company

. We are in this together...Love you..."

Love you!!!!!
Tears began to fill my eyes again at the betrayal...

"What a good father and a husband you are!!! You deserve an award!!!" I scrunched my nose at him in disgust the moment I slammed the door open...

"L....." He looked like he had seen a ghost...Opening and closing his mouth like a fish...

"Wow!!!!So when were you planning to tell me you were just playing with my feelings????"

"I was just checking on my kids...." 

"No woman can distract me, I only have eyes for you. Were  you saying that do your daughter???" Anger had began boiling inside me...

"I don't wanna argue with you...." 

He walked past me but I wasn't done with him yet...
"And where do you think you are going Mr Mimo???" I grabbed his elbow...

"Let me go Amyra!!!Is it a crime to talk to my children!!!Now that we are dating, should I cut them into pieces and throw them to the dogs???" He said in a harsh cold tone...

"Don't try to twist things, you know what I am talking about....Are you really going to divorce your wife or are you just playing with my feelings???" My tone didn't match the anger inside of me... It was more of a pleading tone..

"It's not easy to live her Amyra...Many things are at stake and I have to take care of them before I even think about divorcing her...." His facial features softened.

"What about me????" 
"I love you and that's all that matters. Mistress or not, you are the one that occupies my heart..."

"But I heard you say that you love her????"
"C'mon love, I just told that foolish woman to make her feel good. It's not like I meant it...."

"Okay!!!!" I strained a smile...

I knew he was lying but I didn't want to push this conversation further.. 

I had made the same mistake again...Trusting a man blindly and before I know it I am being stabbed violently on the back...

"Let me order some breakfast for us...." I freed his arm and walked out of the bathroom...
Men should really come with a warning label, you know!!!

It was so hard to keep my tears at bay...My soul was bleeding and my heart felt like it would rip apart..

Why do I have such bad luck???
I wanted to curl into a ball and cry my eyes out but I couldn't give Jacob the luxury of seeing what that phone call had done to me...

"I think you should go shopping today..." He stated behind me...

"I am okay!!!l

"No Amyra, you haven't bought anything nice since you came and that would make me a horrible boyfriend...."

"I will just stay in the suite for today, I don't feel like going out...."

Adam and I were to go touring today but I wasn't sure he was still in for it after how he behaved in the elevator. I think it's better to give him some space and also maybe distance is what I need to stop thinking about him so much...

"Here!!!!!" He threw his card on the bed,"I will go and have a shower now... Today is the day the investors will give me their final decision..." He said nervously..

"Good luck!!!!!"

"Thanks my love..." He pressed a soft 
Kiss on my lips and headed to the bathroom...

After Jacob had left for the meeting, I sat on the bed biting my thumbnail nervously debating whether to check up on Adam or not..u

I needed someone to talk to before I went insane and Adam was my only option. The only option that I wasn't sure about since he seemed to be having his own demons to battle with too.

What do I do????

My phone began blaring with music and the distracting sound did the honors of pulling me out of my torturous thoughts...

It was a video call from Tamara..Damn!!!How I have missed them!!!

"Hello my girls???"
"Amyra are you having so much fun that you forgot about us???" Vivian faked a sob...

"I am sorry for my silence my dears. my mystery man and I have been having so much fun that I forgot I have another world beside our little bubble...." I placed my hand on my heart, pretending to be very happy. if only they knew...

"I  am so jealous Amy but I am glad you are having fun..." Tamara beamed...

"Why is Viv at your place so early in the morning???I hope you three girls aren't having fun without me???"

"What three girls Amyra???Eve has still blocked us and as we speak she has moved in with Cani and her and Nicholas are getting a divorce..." Vivian did the honours of filling me in with what had been going on...

"Is it that bad????" I really felt horrible for Eve.

Read " Pierced Rose " by the same author ( Fideh Mwangi )

. Her world evolves around Nicholas...

"Yeah....Yesterday Nicholas packed all of Eve belongings and had them delivered to her parents' house. I can't begin to describe how I feel inside...I am breaking just by the thought of it...." Tamara stuttered with tears at the corner of her eyes which made me wanna cry as well...

"Those are the consequences of her not taking her medicines...Poor Nicholas, have you seen how heartbroken he is???" Vivian shook her head in disappointment..

"How do you know how heartbroken he is???" Tamara arched a perfect eyebrow at Vivian.
"Is it not obvious???The wife is making him the joke of the world if not the country...."

"Viv, Eve is sick and as her friends it's our duty to make sure she gets the help she needs...." Tamara said in slow emphasis as if explaining to a little child...

"How can we help someone who doesn't want to help herself???I give up!!!" Vivian cussed out...

"Vivian don't say that, Eve needs us...." I shook my head in disappointment at Vivian's words..

"Amyra we will hang up and let you go back to having fun with the mysterious man. We will talk more when you get back. Bye and we love you...." 
"Thanks Tamara for calling, I love you too my girls..." I blew a kiss to them and hanged up...

Poor Eve, I wonder what kind of state she is in right now...She must be going through hell especially now that she isn't on her meds...

Sweet Jesus, have mercy on our kind sweet Eve.....

Finally after pushing the idea of checking on Adam away, I decided to go for shopping...Surprisingly things were cheaper at Paris or was it because it was the city of fashion...

Being a shoe and a handbag obsessed lover, I did buy a lot of those and a few dresses...  Girls with their shoes and handbags...

I am sure the moment Jacob will see these shopping bags, he will regret ever giving me his credit card...

I had forgotten how going out for shopping can be tiring and too much work. I was starving...

As I walked along the hallway towards the suite, I bumped into Adam coming out of his suite...

He didn't look like himself. He was still handsome though but he seemed like he had had a rough night...

I wonder what the Penelope girl had done now!!!

"Hey, I was even heading to your suite to look for you..." He flashed me a small smile that didn't even reach his lips...

"Do you need something????" I asked in a calm tone but deep inside my heart was doing somersaults.

"I am sorry about today. I have been  feeling under the weather since yesterday and I didn't want to infect you with my low moods...."

"It's okay, everyone has those days..."

"I see you bought the whole of Paris, what's the occasion???" 

"I am just a obsessed lover of shoes and handbags...." I chuckled..

"Do you have plans???I wanted to ask you out for a drink....."

"Do you mind if I drop these and meet you at the lobby???"

"I think that would be great...See you at the lobby...."

When I said 'drop these' I literally meant it...I practically dropped the shopping bags on the floor the moment I walked in, rushed to the bathroom to retouch my makeup and within less than five minutes I was out....

From the hotel to the bar was walking distance and I felt really good walking beside Adam.... My knight in a shining armor who was created just to brighten my day..

When we got to the bar, we sat in the corner at the back of the bar away from the people...

After ordering our drinks, we enjoyed them in silence as either of us seemed to be ready to start a conversation.

Personally I would have started the conversation if I have enough bottle up courage to bring up Penelope. What if it's a sensitive topic that has him looking like someone has died...

"Ask about it already!!!" Adam said in a low whisper dragging me from my dilemma.

I really love it when he whispers...

"Ask about what???I don't have anything to ask...." I chuckled nervously...

"You can't fool me Amyra...You were biting your lips and squeezing your fingers absentmindedly..."

"It's nothing!!!!" I gulped down the margarita in the glass all at once..

"I can bet you want to ask about Penelope but you don't know how to ask me!!!!"

How did he know????
I was now embarrassed and decided to glue my eyes on the empty glass Infront of me...

"Penelope Macniven is my ex-wife and the mother of my child... Leon Binty Almasi...."

Suddenly I felt like my heart had been torn into two...
A part of me knew there was a probability he was married but I never thought it would hurt this bad...

Amyra is always falling for the wrong guys....Poor soul..
