Ichabod - Episode 27

 

That evening, they had ended up in the club.  Rashidat had spoken with him over the phone some minutes ago and she said it was urgent and they needed to see. That was right, after what Odin had done the previous night. Adam had driven to Harmony’s house and from there; Ichabod had sent him the address of the club they were. Now they were on their way.

Adams had been calling him and he had to rush out to pick . It was around 5 pm. “Hello Adam, where are you?”

“We are outside; Rashidat will come to meet you while I bring the van around.”

“Okay,” he said, ending the call. Some minutes later, he saw the blue van and a lady stepped out of it, it was Rashidat. She crossed over to meet him while Adams drove ahead to turn.

Harmony sighed, checking the time. She wondered where he had run off to.

“Hey, is everything okay?”

She looked beside her; it was her best friend, “hey, did you see Ichabod?”

Vivian observed her for a while and shook her head, “no, I haven’t. You seem so bothered.”

Harmony checked herself and looked away, “well, he’s my bodyguard, he needs to be doing his work.”

“Well, seems you are the one guarding him, with the way you looking everywhere for him,” Vi replied, laughing but then stopped upon sighting Ichabod with a lady. “Oh, there he is

. Who is that fine lady?”

Harmony turned to see him hugging a lady outside and she frowned.

“Who is that? His girlfriend?”

“I’m not sure,” she replied, trying not to look towards the two but she couldn’t stop herself from looking.

**

“Oh my god! Rashidat, I’m so sorry. I hope he didn’t hurt you.”

The lady smiled, “no, he tried but he couldn’t. Though his fingers really pierced into my skin,” she said, showing him her arm which she put a bandage on.

“Oh, I’m so sorry.”

“It’s okay, I came to warn you though.”

“What is it?”

“The time is approaching very fast you have lesser times now. You need to do what you need to do quickly. Also, last night while Odin was being himself, he knocked over some stuff, those were things I used to prepare the monogen and they are not easy to come by. I had to import most of those chemicals and some are actually illegal. Also, I hope you do not bathe with the ring on?”

“No, I always remove it.”

“Good.”

“So what were you saying about the monogen?”

“I’m saying, you need to manage the one on you, it will take a while before I get the rest.”

Ichabod sighed, “He’s such an idiot.”

“Yea, he realized that after I explained to him. You both need this to work. This is what I’ve come to tell you, let’s go meet Adams, he has missed you and he said that this place is too noisy for him.”

**

Harmony watched as both of them walked away and she swallowed, she could feel a wave of jealousy pass through her. Who was that lady and where did they go?

“Girl are you okay? I can swear you tripping right now. Why are you all worked up, Ichabod is a fine man, he can mingle with anyone he wants, don’t you want that?”

“Of course, I am not bothered, what do you mean by saying I’m tripping? I’m just worried about him that’s all.”

Vi stared at her friend, “you are bothered? Are you drunk or something? He is your bodyguard. Why do you need to be bothered cos of him?” she looked at her and then gasped. “Oh my God, you are in love with him aren’t you?”

“Of course not!” Harmony shouted at her friend even though her voice betrayed her. “ Why would I be in love with someone I hardly know. Yes, I am worried about him because something happened this morning.”

Vi frowned, signaling to a waiter, “what happened?”

Harmony explained to her everything that happened that morning with Michael.

“That idiot is such a pain in the ass, well I’m sure Ichabod is capable of taking care of himself,” Vivian said, eyeing her friend.
“Well, I hope so,” Harmony replied.

**

Ichabod couldn’t understand why she was quiet all through the time they were in the car, even when he tried to make a joke, she hadn’t laughed. Then she had asked him to take her home immediately.

They got home around 7 in the evening and she quietly went inside. Ichabod was confused, what was the issue with the whole drama?

**

Minutes later, they were both sitting in the living room. She sat cross-legged watching the TV while he sat on the other couch, wondering what he had done wrong Occasionally, their eyes would meet but each time, her frowns would deepen, Finally, he decided to ask-

“Is everything okay Harmony?”

“Sure, why not?” she replied without looking at him, her eyes fixed on the T.V.

He was quiet and then he stood up to take his leave…

**

Harmony was confused, what was wrong with her? Why was she giving him attitude? Even if the lady was his girlfriend, she shouldn’t have a problem with that should she? Why did this man have so much influence on her…? Ever since she saw him with another woman, something had gone wrong in her and she couldn’t shake off the feeling. She thought about talking to him but he stood and left, her heart sank…

**

Ichabod removed the ring and placed it on the table before going into the bathroom to take his bath. His mind was on how he would manage the monogen till the full moon. He hated Odin, he liked messing things up and he wasn’t even messing things up for him alone, he was doing it for the both of them. He sighed as the cold water hit his body…now Harmony had been acting quite strange, what was her problem anyway? It had started ever since he left the club to go see Rashidat and…wait a minute, had she seen him with Rashidat and was jealous? That could be a good thing if she was actually jealous…hold on, this could mean she was actually beginning to have feelings for him. She had tried to kiss him the other night and now…oh dear! This would be great news! He needed to talk to her. Quickly, he turned off the switch and grabbed a white towel.

Harmony needed to make things right before the maid would come up from her shopping with Tracy. She was really uncomfortable with the way things were going, besides, she had no reason to be jealous. She would just go into his room and then apologize. She would make things better and then they could be friends again without making things awkward.

She thought of waiting till the next morning but then that seemed like an eternity, then she decided to go to her room. While she passed by his room while going to her room, she stopped. Her heart was beating faster and she knew she had to do this. She shut her eyes and knocked on the door but there was no response. She knocked again and surprisingly the door opened by itself.

“Ichabod, you in there?” she called out but she could hear water running so she knew that he was definitely taking his bath. She thought of leaving to come back later but then her eyes captured the ring on the table. For no reason, she felt herself drawn to it. Her legs carried her into the room and before she knew it, she was holding it in her hands. It had like a triangular shape at the back and her brain kept scrambling for where she must have seen something similar. That instant, the door opened and Ichabod stepped out.

. On the mere sight of him, her body grew weak and she dropped the ring on the table.

Both of them stared at each other for a while, each shocked on seeing the other.

“Oh, I…I….I…m sorry, I came to...to…” she stuttered, unable to pick the right words. He would have been completely naked if not for the piece of towel that only covered his manly part. Water glistened on every part of his body and those blue eyes were even more enchanting than ever, she looked away. She was about rushing out when he said, “why weren’t  you talking to me?”

Harmony couldn’t believe he was still talking with their present situation. She turned back, “well…I , I thought, you lied to me Ichabod,” she replied, even though all her brain kept telling her was to run out of there.

“Lied to you?” he asked, making no attempt to wear any cloth. “How did I lie to you?”

Harmony stepped back as he got closer, the closer he got, the harder it felt for her to

“You, you said, you didn’t have a girlfriend,” she said, that was really stupid Harmony and way immature, her brain said to her.

“The lady wasn’t my girlfriend, she means nothing to me, just a friend who happened to be around the club,” he stated, staring at her with so much intensity that she felt she was going to melt right there on the floor.

“Ok, I’m sorry,” she replied, still looking away.

“You should have asked me,” he said almost in a whisper. What was this man doing to her!

“Ok, well, since that is settled..I..I think I will go to my room and I…I…”

“Don’t fight it,” he stated, getting closer, even though she desperately wanted to run, right that instant, her legs turned into jelly and she was unable to move. This feeling was so familiar…that seductive voice was strangely familiar….before she could think of where she had heard it before, he covered his lips with hers.

MEANWHILE

He got the message on his tab and without hesitation, he opened it, it was a picture of his baby mama and her bodyguard wearing only a towel around his torso, kissing passionately. He knew it! That slut!

He dialed a number on his phone, “get enough pictures, we will use it to blackmail her later, and find out who the lady is, find out who she is to him. I knew something was going on between those two! Prepare to get the ring tonight!”
