   Caroline's head lay on his chest and Michael knew he had to savour this moment. He had the feeling it would soon be snatched from him. He cuddled her pretty face with nervous fingers. He couldn't lose her. Caroline was his girl and he would give his all to make sure it remained that way.
    He Cares-ed her bottom just as she squinted her eyes and came up to kiss him.
    "You know u can have much more of me. You don't even need to ask"
   At her words, he retracted immediately like a jolt of electricity had gone through his body
   "Why do you always go stiff each time I mention s-x?" Caroline asked perplexity on her face.
   "I don't go stiff "
   "Then why did you stop . I know you said your last relationship was all about s-x and you want us to do things differently but we are engaged!" she moved away from him "so whats the problem?" 

     She knew she wasn't being fair to him after all he was the one who had a price tag on his heart but she couldn't help it. She might need to savour this last moment with him and here he was being a jerk.
     "Just once Michael.Cant u make me feel like a woman?" she drew closer to him just as he backed off.
 "Is there something you are not telling me? Michael?"
    "No my love there's nothing" he lied. How could he tell her, how could he tell her that making love to her would only complete the ritual that was needed in order to turn her into a dummy, a cash cow for the gang

. He loved her too much and couldn't jeopardize her life, he couldn't take her sanity from her.
     "I don't believe you. geez you are not a celebate. Or don't you love me?"
   "come on Caroline, you know I love you more than my life"
    "Then prove it Micheal...." She left her words hanging

    "I can't" Michael answered after a long pause.
    Standing up, Caroline brushed her hands against her skirt and picked up her bag "maybe it's for the best. Don't call me Michael until you are ready to tell me what it is you are hiding"
    "Are you breaking up with me?"
  This was her cue. This was the time for her to do the logical thing. This was the time to pick her career over Michael. This was the time to say yes it's over. But she couldn't. She won't.
     "No" she turned back to face him "I'm just too angry to speak now"

******************

   Michael knew he was a terrible drunk but he couldn't help it. He took another shot of campari. The alcohol felt good, he was at a crossroad. Caroline was doubting his love! Unbelievable! He loved the girl like an Angel. If he didn't, she might as well be a gang property by now. A money bag, a cash cow.               

     Celestine had been here earlier to give him an ultimatum. The gang or the girl. Time was running out and he had to make a choice. Caroline meant too much to him and he would need to let her go so she could be save. He couldn't risk seeing her hurt. He knew what he needed to do.


****"""""*****"""""******

  An overture of Niniola's Maradonna woke Caroline up. She checked the caller ID, Kayode. 
  "Oh gush" she exclaimed. She had stood him up. She completely forgot about lunch with him. How he must hate her now. Kayode was her best friend, he sometimes cared for her like his life depended on it. She hadn't seen him for the last 2weeks. He had gone for training in his new Job and only returned yesterday. How she forgot about lunch with him was another matter. She always felt nonchalant when it came to kayode.

   "This isn't the first time you are treating me like this" Caroline could detect the hurt in his voice.
    "I had a rough day I slept off and forgot. If you want I could come to your house"
     "Don't worry Caroline good night" He hung up without even hearing her out.
  Whats that about Caroline wondered. Why was kayode sounding like she broke his heart. What's wrong with all the guys in my life she pondered. She would need to see kayode and clear things up. She wouldn't let him get delusional with thoughts of them being an item. He was just her friend. The earlier he got that Memo, the better.

     Kayode was a nice guy, too nice maybe. He had saved her life and nursed her for 5weeks. Her adoration for him was automated. She could never forget those nights when the nightmares brought insomnia. He would sing for her with his lovely voice! and cuddle her like an elder brother. Yes! she saw him in that light.He nursed her For 5 weeks and not once did he take advantage of her. Who if not a brother would act like that.
  There was a time she thought she felt something for him but no matter how green the light she showed him was, he never seemed interested. Soon she got pass that and accepted their relationship would only be platonic. She would have to speak with him just to prove Edenna wrong.
   She sent him a text "boo... place the drinks on ice I'm coming"

***************

   The house was covered in an aroma Caroline knew too well. Kayode was the best chef ever.He was in the kitchen when she entered.
    "I know my kay couldn't stay mad at me" she said in a way of greetings "wow! smells nice"
   "Don't get too ahead of your self. .I'm only giving my self a well deserved treat" Kayode jokingly taunted with a forced frown plastered on his face.
    " Why do I get the feeling you would end up feeding me yourself"
    "Come here. you spoilt thing" he embraced her dearly.
   She gave him a peck "thats for saving me life" it was her ritual.
 --------

  "Didn't realize I was that hungry" Kayode had made the spaghetti just the way She liked it. Spicy,saucy and with plenty pepper. True to her word she had cajoled kayode to spoon feed her himself.

     "Had a bad day hun.." kayode started after supper "something to do with your boyfriend??"
"l'm sorry I didn't tell you Okay. You were away and I couldn't reach you. And the proposal happened so suddenly"
     "it's okay Caroline really it is"
  "But u sounded angry on the phone"
     "I just missed you that's all. Besides I spoke with Edenna and she told me it's all a game. Even though I don't see the point I won't complain"
  Oh dear Caroline felt drained. Edenna!  "there is something you should know Kay..."
    Kayode waved her away "not before we pop my celebratory drink" He retrieved a Cartel wine with two glasses " toast to my dream job!"
     " I'm so delighted for you" Caroline took a sip.
   " Us Caroline, us. Don't you see, I will finally be able to give you the life that you deserve. We are going to be so rich and happy"
   " we? us? am sorry Kayode I think you are mistaking"
     "No I'm not. I have been meaning to tell you this for ages. I'm madly in love with you!... Caroline I loved you right from the very first day I set my eyes on you. I only wanted the time to be perfect before I told you...like now" Kayode watched as the colour drained from her face.
    "Well Mr. Perfect you are too late.. damn too late" she flashed him her left middle finger" I'm engaged. I'm in love with someone else"
    The world rotated cloke wise. No it was kayode whose vision blurred and spun
   "I waited for you Kay but you didn't say it. I wanted you Kay but I wasn't sure you wanted me... you are too late now..I'm in love with Michael"
    "I didn't have any money then, how was I gonna take care of you. I love you Caroline please. Edenna told me Michael was just for show"

 "Well he was but then I realized I loved him and dearly too" 

"Caroline No. I can't live without you"

    "We will still be friends. I promise nothing will change"
    "friends? No Caroline I didn't rescue my friend. I rescued my soul mate, my lover, my world...I won't be able to live seeing you with another man... please Caroline don't let my love go to waste... I could die. I love you too much"
     The world truly rotated cloke wise now. No it was Caroline whose vision blurred and spun.This is crazy.
