CHAPTER ONE.
I sat and watched as Roy kept denying his marital status even after showing him proofs. He was so reluctant to accept his games were up and all I felt for myself was self pity and betrayal.
“you know what” I started , “enough of this blatant lie ” I shouted amidst tears.
“I am do!!” I got up to work away but his firm hands grabbed mine as he stared at me with much pains in his voice.
“yin, you are the only woman for me, please don’t abandon me” he said while still maintaining a fixed gazes at me “you alone completes me, pay no heed to rumor mongers” he continued. My heart sank as he labeled my findings that of rumor mongers, a clear evidence I could bet my last breath on. I looked at him with much of hatred, than love then swinged his hands off mine. I took my leave.
It all started on a cold evening in Beijing, on one of my numerous hiking. I had lost my way while I wandered through the lonely heapy path. Sitting on the carpet grasses that graced the serene. I started hearing a noise from a motor cycle. At first, I was startled and scared but on the brighter side, I was going to find my way back to the road.
“Hello, who is there” I shouted as I trailed and followed the direction to which the sound emitted from. After some minutes of fruitless search, I made to rest my hurting legs when I saw him, a men in his early thirties, strongly built, tall and handsome. He was dragging his motor cycle by his hands and coming my way. He limped like he sustained little bruises on his knees. He was fast coming closer so I didn’t bother to move an inch from where stood. Before he could reach the distance from where I watched him, he slumped. I hurriedly ran towards him and lifted him and the motor cycle that almost fell on his tired body. Shifting it to a safe little distance, I sat on the ground and raised his head to my laps. I still had a little sip of water from my bottle so I opened his mouth and let him have a gulp of what was left while thinking of how, we would make it to the road before night fall. He breathed heavily, then opened his eyes with a smile playing on his lips, then I saw his nice set of dentations with his deep dimples.
“fellow, you scared me” I started while pushing his head off my laps as I made to stand up. He gave me his hands in a bid to help lift him to his feet. I was so angry at him for ever thinking he was the savior who would rescue me from the dungeon I found myself.
“How did you get here?, he asked almost bursting in laughter as he dusted his knickers which revealed to me that I was right he indeed sustained an injury.
“Hey, what’s funny I replied, still keeping a stern look.
“Well, we are stocked” he said and started laughing uncontrollably. I found him so weird, he should be thinking of nursing his wounds and a way back home instead of making a fool of ourselves laughing his heart away. I feigned a smile, atleast I wasn’t alone I got company and a partner.
“So what are we going to do now?” I asked still trying to scream my lungs away. “How did I get here?” I kept asking myself.
So lost was I in thought to realize that my stranger partner was already gathering woods and making a little tent for himself I suppose. I got to help myself too I murmured as I hurriedly joined him to gather the woods without saying a word.
“Wow, our new home rocks!!” he exclaimed and gave me a quick unexpected hug. He called it home!!, who would call this bush a home.
“Fellow, I aint finding this funny any more,” its late, lend me your motor cycle and I would return it to you first thing tomorrow morning” I said without stopping my words, I didn’t want him to interrupt me because it was obvious fella was a talkative. Taking a deep breath after thinking I made a valid point to him, he got up, handed me the keys and said “Go try it then” he said and bursted into a scornful laughter.
“We are in this together, earlier you realize that the better.” I was not in the mood to listen to his blabbing, I quickly ran out to try my lucky stars on the motor cycle but alas, it just wouldn’t pick up. I gave up and returned to the tent, feeling very withdrawn, tired, thirsty and hungry.
“Am thirsty” I started feeling all sober “you talking to me?” he said as he looked around and smiled.

Interesting

“Cant remember seeing anyone else here” I replied with faintest smile “you took what I had left” I continued while keeping my cool and trying soo hard to keep smiling. He came to my corner and sat by my side, then he started telling me a story of how the birds and how stories helps prevent worries and makes you forget both food and water.
The more he talked, the more my eyes were closing in sleep but yet I was cold and my body couldn’t resist shivering. Guess he noticed cause I didn’t speak again to him, he removed his coat and wore just his singlet. Then just as I never would imagine, he wrapped me up in his coat and that melted my heart away. I zoomed off to dream land and how he managed, I couldn’t tell but I woke to see ashes in the centre of the tent.
“Wakey wackey” he said exited as he shoke my shoulders while I gradually returned to consciousness. “Good morning” I replied feeling brighter as I removed the coat and handed to him without wanting to say a word. I was shy to say a thanks after acting cold to him and then for however he might have spent his night but fella was so in the mood to make me appreciate. “Hope my coat kept you warm all through the night” he said as he wore it back.
“yes, sort of I replied “thank you” I finally said when my pricking conscience couldn’t let me.
“My pleasure” he said, “was that why you were snoring this place off?” he added as he quickly made to leave. I knew he was just pulling my legs cause I would never snore in my sleep, no matter how tired I was but I had to reply the jerk “and you had to always come closer to get a cuddle from a snoring pig” He laughed so hard, harder than he ever did since we became partners.
“Oh yea, I love them pigs” he said as he grabbed my hands and helped me up, he wouldn’t let my hands drop, he kept squeezing it against his and I started feeling unease.
“What do I call my partner” he asked as we walked together heading to where his motor cycle was parked.
“Yin” I replied, so as quickly that it scared me “am Yin and you?” I asked really eager to know his. “Am a monster from oblivion” he joked, then smiled. He made me look him in the eyes then he continued “If I tell you, would you fix my bike for me and I just sit and tell you how to do it?” he said while still maintaining the eyes contact. I could see through his beautiful soul and his alluring charming blue eyes kept telling my mind “just say yes for the fun of it”. I did reply “yes and he smiled then told me he wouldn’t ever stress a woman nor tell me do jobs made for the male folks, “well am West” he finally said after a 30 seconds blabbing.
I sat and watched him, loosen some parts of the motor cycle and a lot other things he coupled up, while I kept chatting with him about nature and how the love of it got us stocked in the middle for him and after about an hour plus, he was done and he roared the engine back to life.
“Am going to miss this company” he said and I found that very pathetic “we haven’t found our way yet, besides, I would be happy to miss you” I said even though I never meant it. We both hopped into the bike and he started driving and taking us further into the unknown dungeon. With his shaky hands, I quickly knew he was an amateur and maybe needed an extra hand to perfect in driving. “We could be further lost if we continue like this” I paused when I noticed he wasn’t ready to talk but was so focused to where we were headed and continued “I am a better driver and if you show me the path if we are heading the right way”. He obediently stopped the bike while we switched positions then I started driving. “Careful else we get hurt” he kept screaming as I speeded. Then caring less and soon after, we were on the road that made us spend a night in the dungeon.
Stopping by in front of a cafeteria, I alighted from the bike and handed him his helmet. He looked so sober like he wouldn’t let me take my leave ever again. “Can I ever see you again?” he asked amidst saddest of tones. “Yea, sure I replied” and wrote down my phone number in a small paper I tore out from my mini diary. “Here, have it” I said as I slipped it through his pocket. He stood there like a statue just staring at my pretty face. Then like a speed of light, he hugged me tightly and kept whispering into my ears with the entire assurance he has to give that he would keep close contact with me. I wasn’t cut out for relationships and friendship as I had a lot to catch up with for my life, I had a lot of travels to do as regards my fashion business, so certainly am the last person on the queue for this.
“I would be expecting your call” I said as I disentangled myself from his embrace. We both went our separate ways.

CHAPTER TWO.
“I love you too” I replied as I hung my phone and smiled. “Did I just say that?” I ask myself as I rolled in bed, feeling too lazy to get my ass up the bed. What charm west has been using on me is sure working for him and hey did I fall so cheap for him I kept asking myself. Tina, a friend and a colleague who has been living in my flat after being thrown out by her legs landlord. Just on my body. I immediately knew she has been up to a long time and obviously has been listening to my conversation on the phone. I looked at her face and could notice flickers of smile playing on her lips while she tried her best to act all sleepy and keep her eyes shot. I lifted her legs off my body but her drama wasn’t ready to stop, she rolled and clipped her entire body on mine, then came the burst of laughter on the bed shouting “Who is the lucky yin, who is he?” “Keep your voice low” I tried to hush her while laughing but she wouldn’t hear. That as how crazy my friend was, there was never a dull moment with her, very playful and lovable that you can never resist her charms, I still wonder why she often have failed marriages after giving it a shot thrice. She had a son for her second husband but the boy lived with his father cause of the financial stress she was going through. She decided he was better off with his dad, if only she would be granted permission to come to him as often as she wants. It was agreed but the man played a fast one on her and travelled to Australia with Kim to go live with his lover. That was the last she heard of him but she would be used to travel and go look for her son Kim. I look at her and admire her courage and strength to pull through. Tina in all ramification was a gold, men are just being assholes to her.
“Okay, okay, remember the day, I didn’t come home till the next day, I told you I was lost in the hills?” I said while waiting for her to refresh her memories. “ehhm that was few weeks back right?” she asked as she sat up on the bed, using a pillow in-between her legs and was all smiles to her stories, love thrills her “exactly, well, I didn’t tell you I had company” I said while trying to search her face and see what expression I would get, a frown would mean “end of gist” a smile will get all of the stories she needed but I got none of that, but a surprise “Wow, really, you are badder than I thought” she said as she threw one of the pillows at me “naughty you” I replied and continue “He helped me get home on his bike, he was that nice that he gave me his coat to sleep on while he exposed his body to the cold” I said closing my eyes and remembering every silly moments we spent on the hill. “Awww my baby” she said as she came to hug me “you have been alone for a long long while now and am soo happy for you” she said while patting my back. Then suddenly, she Jerked up with the highest sparkles in her eyes “is he cute?” she asked and all I did was nod sheepishly than replied “very cute that I can’t share him with no one should he be a cake. We both laughed so hard, that tears rolled from our eyes. We remained all bleeped up in bed and kept gisting that I didn’t even know when I missed his call.
“Ohh he has been on the line” I exclaimed as I hurriedly called him back.
“Hello sweetheart, you must be very tired”, cause you have been racing through my mind “aww Tina screamed cause she have been placing her ears to sit by the window to avoid my drama queen friend only to look out and see him standing just right in front of me with the cutest smile. That was the first time he would be visiting me after giving him my address few days back “Hian why now” I said dejected cause I haven’t even showered nor washed my mouth. “that’s the most romantic” Tina muttered as she quickly brought my slippers and dragged me up to the door, “go let him in, quick” she ordered then I left. I presumed she must have been acting up on the window cause I sighted West waving towards that direction. I opened my door and walked a little distance to where he stood. Smiling his heart away at me “aren’t you gonna come inside?” I asked trying to be all naughty and maybe send him back to wherever he was coming from with my facial expression “come here he said as he carried me up and walked to the entrance of my house. I could see Tina giving me a thumbs up but I was too shy to even give her a smile or any expression, I just had to cover my face while he carried me safely to the sofa, lay me down and kissed my fore head.
“What did he just do”? I asked myself as my heart was beating so fast that I feared it might explode. I shut my eyes so tight that they hurt cause I was thinking he would kiss my lips. That was the first kiss I ever received from West. Our lovely dopey has always been on the phone and as I was still assimilating the fact that he came to see me unannounced despite his tight schedules; he planted a kiss that melted my soul. After a while in my house, he reminded me that the day was Lantern festival and he would like to have me around. The festival takes place on the last day of the Chinese New year. The tradition behind this holiday originated in the story of the heavenly Jade emperor who was angered when a town killed his favorite goose. The emperor decided to burn the town in a bid to punish them for what they did to him. However, the towns’ people were warned by a sympathetic fairy and they decided to burn lanterns do that when the emperor looked down on them, he would be fooled into thinking it was already on fire. It happens on the first full moon of the lunar calendar.
Given a thought to his invitation, I couldn’t give in because it was not planned and I had wanted to travel the next day to shanghai with Tina to pick up some fabrics “Baby please he kept pestering seeing I was not moved “But I just told you I would be travelling first thing tomorrow morning, please I can’t let that slide” I said calmly and firm. This time he understood better and kept a plain sober face but suddenly brightened up my eye balls “promise me that when you get back we would travel to Chengdu together”. “Wow” I screamed and hugged him “yes, yes, yes I promise”. I was soo excited as I had always planned to visit Chengdu but schedules wouldn’t let me. Now, I would have to visit with the man my heart has desired. In excitement, I rushed and kissed him, first he was startled but he grabbed my tiny waist and reciprocated by switching his tiny tongue against mine.
All this while, Tina had been looking and admiring the crazy love birds, still hoping she would one day meet her forever and always “mhmhmh” she coughed and waved at the two just to remind them that she was still there else they start consummating their love in her presence “I should be leaving” she said and feigned a smile as she walked past me, then whispered in my ears “go get a room girl”. She looked so innocent like she never said anything and walked to the room. I fixed a gaze at my drama queen and started laughing but West couldn’t comprehend why. “Anything the problem?” He asked still holding on to my waist “nah, nothing to worry about” I replied with a smile. We chatted a lot more about our pending journey and all he kept muttering was how I refused to attend the lantern festival with me “ okay, no more travels”, I announce d with a stern look while praying he doesn’t change his mind “No no baby don’t say that, I could die” he replied with a scared smile and I had to return that smile to avoid his feeling let down “so stop making me feel guilty about tonight, we have a lot of lantern festival to attend” I said and pecked his cheeks. His smile then was so unadulterated and I felt happy with myself. “Now I have a man” I said to myself “I would give him all of me.
“Aww, West is soo soo cute!!” Tina excitedly screamed immediately I came into the house after seeing him off to the gate.
“Did you see his eyes, ohh that nose, his Jaws” she kept gushing and I was like “Hey you that’s my man you talking about please” Actually, I was jealous she already had such look outs on him and being someone who is desperate to find love again, I wouldn’t trust her with what was mine.
“Yin, did I offend you” she asked with a pint of sadness in her voice. I felt a pang of guilt, Tina obviously meant well and didn’t observe my sudden hush at her “am sorry sweet, you didn’t offend me so never mind” I replied As I headed to the kitchen to go get a glass of water to calm my nerves. She knew better not to say a word again about west and I knew better than now isn’t even the right time to start my “a better man will come your way” sermon. My entire day was spent on West’s arms that I totally forgot I haven’t done anything for myself, no bathing, no brushing, I was so unkempt. I quickly entered the bathroom, removed my dress, turned on the shower slowly and allowed the cold water trickle down my spine. I was in love, my first love ever, I was going to the forever and always. From the bathroom, I could hear her soft tears, my friend wants to be happy again, she misses her son too. I said a silent prayer for her as I dried up my wet body. Finally the day was gone.

Thanks for the update

CHAPTER THREE.
It is just half a month late, winter will arrive in Beijing. This week, the cold air make north people Just want to stay in bed, expecting warm air to come soon. People living in Beijing always say the most beautiful season is autumn and I quite agree with that point. Comparing with the famous red leaves on Xiangshan, I love the golden color blanked in every corner of Beijing better. When late fall is coming, the yellow leaves of the maiden hair tree dance with the wind, forming amazing scenes.
I went into the Red scarf park not far away from where I lived. There were not so many maiden hair trees, but the golden color just made me feel like in a forest. Red Scarf Park is free of charge, allowing lots of people to come around and have a good feel of nature. It is located at the northeast corner of Red scarf brigde in Dongsihuan. I walked aimlessly at the park as I waited for West who told me he was going to join me, soon after work.
We would be leaving for Chengdu the next day and I was super excited. I wanted to have a view of some red pandas in wolong and of course the giant pandas. The thought of them kept lifting my expectations that I didn’t even notice when I stepped on a toddler crawling towards me. The baby let out a high pitched tears that brought me back to reality. Looking at the poor child and wondering what could have made him cry as I had no slightest idea I was the cause of his pains. I received a thunderous generous slap. “Wow” I quickly said amidst anger but I made to talk, she already sounded a warning which made me soo speechless. I was embarrassed but I didn’t care, I watched the careless mom carry her toddler away. “Who in God’s name would let a baby wander about in this sort of place”? I said to myself as I sat on a wooden white chair you have a clearer view of excited happy people and nature. I still felt the pang of pain on my left cheek, so I brought out my little pocket mirror to have a look and nurse my reddish little swollen face when I sighted West through the mirror. He was looking around and probably was on a look out for me. I decided to watch him play hide and seek with me when I noticed he was already headed to see the beast who slapped me. I watched them exchange pleasantries, and how he carried the toddler. The lady also had a girl of about 4 years with her who just clinged on his trousers. “Was he that close to them?” I wondered as I watched him see them off the entrance. I decided to dial his line cause he was making me feel so nervous. “Hello sweetheart”, am right behind you “he said and I turned immediately to hear a “hey sound from him.
“When did you get here” I asked still feeling nervous and jealous. “I have always been “he replied as he planted a kiss on my lips. “Who did this to you?” he asked immediately he noticed my reddish swollen face “never mind, it was a crazy woman with a cute toddler” then paused and immediately added “I guess you know her and the kids cause o sat here watching you spend hours exchanging pleasantries”. I was sad but still kept a straight “ohh starring at his face like “what’s funny?”. “She is a colleague in our company” he quickly said and continued laughing. “My Jealous Jealous baby, don’t worry, I would give her a red eye for this okay, am so sorry for the misconduct. I smiled at the red eye then poked him and he jerked. I started laughing and he that was the end of my Jealousy and insecurity. We chattered about everything and I was most grateful, our flight wouldn’t be cancelled the next day. “Chengdu I await you” I whispered into his ears as we walked hand in hand out of Red Scarf Park.
Boarding was uneventful at Beijing capital international airport. We used Air China airlines cause they were quite affordable. We both held our hands together as we entered the airplane with pride. Our excitement would tell anyone who cared to know that we were a couple. As soon as the plane took off, I nodded off to sleep having fastened my seatbelt. I used my sure fire sleep method which is an audio book on my phone even when West tried to keep me all active with chit chat. I must have been dozing for half an hour when all of a sudden the plane began to violently shake and rapidly lose altitude.
I was jolted awake and grabbed onto the arm rests for support while using the other hand to hold on to West who was even more scared than I was.

Tbc...

Abeg to the mod that blocked me, kilonshele gorgor?

It felt like we were on a roller coaster going down. I recall what felt like a 45 angle and more than 20 seconds of precipitous drop. Dunks flew through the cabin and the captain urgently admonished FAS to take their seats. It felt like the captain had lost control of the plane. My heart was beating rapidly and as I looked at West, I almost melted. I thought this was it and our love story would end in a plane crash. Every single fun moments I envisioned would be crashing in a minute and all I could say was “Lord save my soul”. We leveled out, but the shaking continued for several minutes. We were nearing Chengdu and the FAS immediately concluded their service. The plane continued to jolt though we ultimately made a perfect smooth landing at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport. I pulled up the flight track log on flight aware to examine the altitude and it does seem like my mind was playing tricks on me, at least in terms of whether the plane rapidly lost altitude. So my guess was certainly I had a hallucination of some kind and never had anything of such before as to have a bad dream about crashing. West had a good laugh when I told him and squeezed my cold hands. It felt cool being on vacation with someone you love.
The taxi was moving at a slow pace, I would be visiting Chengdu Research Base of grant Panda breeding center. I had earlier suggested I wanted to go to Wolong Panda center as I heard pandas over there live every natural life and a very lively and gigantic but West considered the distance and concluded it wasn’t worth it, after all, a panda is a panda even if it’s a day old. I felt discouraged but very lightened when I heard wolong was a 3hours Journey from Chengdu and I have been stressed out a lot from our travel.
“Wow, this is huge I exclaimed as I watched the pandas from a distance while West kept taking picture. A man was on tour in the 200 with his girlfriend, I suppose when he attempted to climb into the panda house and began teasing the sleeping Panda in a bid to impress his woman. I found it funny watching him, so I called out to west to come take some pictures of the man, only for the panda to wake up and started fighting the man with his paws. Everyone was scared and shouting, his woman was screaming her lungs out and crying a river. I was emotionless, I just prayed he would get out alive and luckily he did. In his next life, he wouldn’t dare a sleeping Panda. I had beautiful selfie with some Pandas who were bored and obviously liked the camera. It was so much fun, till my stomach twitched and I held his hands drew him back a little and whispered I was hungry.
He looked around and quickly knew it was time to leave the zoo and go satisfy our stomachs.
We took another taxi to the famous Chengdu xiao Chi and I was over whelmed at the varieties of food they had and the population of people who were tropping in and out of the restaurant. I was already salivating at the sight of delicious meals and my tummy churned as the aromas filled the air. We quickly took our seats and I collected the Menu which lay on top of the table and read them out to West’s hearing. A waitress came to attend to us and picked our orders. Soon enough our traditional long chaoshou red oil wonton was staring at our face. “This looks yummy” I said as I took my first bite. I locked my mouth, severed the taste and smiled “it’s indeed yummy” West added as we ate to our fill.
At night fall, we were at Kuan Zhai Xuang Zi, it was an unmissable site for a perfect night life in Chengdu. For the first time in my entire life, I kept feeling like a princess. Kuan zhai xiang Zi literally means “wide and narrow Alleys “and they particularly refer to the two famous lanes in Chengdu. Kuan alley was the wide lane while Zhai ally was the narrow lane. Both are the gentrified alleys from Qing Dynasty. In Chengdu, we walked down the alleys and kept seeing beautiful and lavishly decorated restaurants, open air restaurants and private restaurants. We went to one of the plentiful pubs and bars lines on the sides and sat down to the pictures. We weren’t the only couples there, a lot of people were having fun and soon I discovered tea ceremony “wow, so I get to experience Chengdu tea ceremony” I said in a loud voice so he could hear me because everywhere was so rousy and we could barely hear ourselves without shouting the words. “Our trip was made in heaven already” he said as he pecked me and drew me more closely to himself.
A tea ceremony is a ritualized form of making tea. It is translated as an art of tea in Chinese. All of these tea ceremonies and rituals contain an adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday life. We went to a tea house and had a cup of tea to our fill after which we strolled to the closet music bar.
Holding my tiny waist and moving in slow motion to the sound of the music totally lifted me, I was just out of this word as the pleasure was extreme. In all, I had a perfect night a perfect trip and everything looks soon perfect in Chengdu that I just wasn’t wishing it gets over anytime soon.
I stood at the mirror in the hotel, lost in the image of a body, I haven’t appreciated in a long while not until he came into my life and made it Colorful. I massaged my body softly with the last drop of my lavenda oil. When I was done, I walked to the wardrobe that housed our clothes and other valuables of ours. I brought out my travel suite case and went underneath to bring my nicely sewed Qipao that I set out solely for this day. I had planned to look my best on this trip so he would find me attractive and adorable. “Hmm” I smiled as I smelt its nice fragrance. The dress still looked crispy as I had never worn it. “I hope he likes it,I said to myself as I wore it while facing the mirror. “Phi am” the door immediately opened as he stepped in full of elegance and charisma. My prince charming is obviously the most handsome man that ever lived. I was just drooling at him and didn’t notice when he came closer and kissed my forehead. Then I came back to my senses, with my eyes afar and my lips opened waiting for a kiss.
“You are indeed a Jewel” her said as he returned me around “and where did you get this beautiful dress you have on”? I was blushing the twinkles in my eyes were really shiny lost in ecstasy, I flung myself to him and that was it, I lost my pride to him the day we left Chengdu.

CHAPTER FOUR.
Having vomited for the fifth time under an hour, Tina suggested I go see a doctor but I was convinced I was alright, so I kept my cool. The feverish condition was getting severe so I had no other option but to beg her to assist me by taking me to the hospital herself.
“Congratulations” the doctor said as he handed the result envelope to me. He was all smiles that I wondered if I won a lottery. I smiled back too and maintained a fixed gaze at the doctor, then like a bomb shell, he dropped the news that sank my heart “you are 5 weeks pregnant”. My eye balls fell out from the socket as I shouted “5 weeks what?” I looked at Tina who was as shocked as I was.
“5 weeks pregnant” he repeated and started advising on what and what not to do. Hot tears ran down my cheeks as I hugged Tina and allowed it flow. It’s been 2 weeks since I heard from him and every means to reach him then wasn’t pulling through. “How would he know I was carrying his child?” “How do if he is okay?”. Tina kept parting my back and reassuring me that everything was going to be fine. I held on to that as I dragged myself out of the hospital with Tina trying her possible best to keep me at ease.
“Oh don’t lift that!!” Tina shouted as I made to carry in the packages the delivery man kept at the door. With my name inscribed on it. “Do you want to hurt our baby?” she asked as she hurriedly came to help me. I simply smiled cause I knew I had no plans for the baby and wasn’t ready to be a mom yet. She carried it in and without asking, tore the parcel and screamed “oh my God!!” I quickly stood up and went to have a look. It was a gift from West and I was excited. He bought me a teddy and in it was a simple note. “You have always been on my mind, I love you”. My heart melted as I allowed myself to cry, I miss my West, where could he be? “Awe, that’s so sweet” Tina said as she hugged me. “I told you he would be here for you”. I wiped the tears, smiled and nodded at her “But I don’t want to be a mom now, I can’t do it, I only needed his approval before I opt for a D and C”. she stared at me as if I was crazy then lived a long hiss and said ‘yin, am a pro-choice and you know what is good for you, even though your decision of waiting for West consent is a nice one, I still feel the earlier the better she hugged me tightly while I nodded still gathering the tears in my eyes.
“Knock knock” came on the door, and it kept coming continuously that I was forced to curse whoever it was that was disturbing my evening after my walk in the hills. With my sweat filled body, I hurried to the door and “cracked it opened. My feet trembled at the sight of him, filled with high intense of pains and happiness, I screamed and jumped at him while he carried me up and kept kissing me. I wanted to tell him how much I have missed him and asked him why he kept such a long distance from me but he wouldn’t let me say a word. Each time I wanted to talk, he planted a kiss on my lips. I gave up trying to express my emotions, I quietly offered him a seat, went to my mini bar and got him red wine then I retired to the room to get the envelope.

Tbc

I watched him sip his wine and I felt if telling him would make a difference when I have already decided the foetus fate. He looked at me just immediately and read my facial expression. He knew there was more to my sad face than being sad, I hadn’t let down my fury after his being away for long. Getting up and coming towards me, I handed him the envelope and watched him open it and as soon as he started devouring the information, I quickly chipped in “I wouldn’t be keeping it anyway so I don’t want to talk about it”. He didn’t say a word, he asked “why do you want to kill what is mine?” I had no tangible excuse for him but I just couldn’t be with a child now. Maybe Tina’s experience really got to me but I just wasn’t ready and wouldn’t want him to try patronize me into keeping it. “Fine, if that’s what you want, am good” he said and held my hands
“when would you be going for the procedure?” he asked and I quickly replied "the next day". Suddenly while looking at him, I felt this pang of anger, guess it was my pregnancy hormones but I just felt very angry at him. How could he quickly accept I have an abortion without striving to see if his words could make me change my mind, something my inner mind yearned for. His approval got me very weak like he didn’t love me enough, I quickly ran to my room and shut the door. He kept knocking while I was in the bed drenching my pillow in tears.
After a while, when I noticed he has left, I got up, unlocked the room and headed to the bathroom to have a shower and clear my head. My heart was heavy but what more can I do, I hoped the water rushing down my spines will suit me of all the bitterness my heart felt.

Well done OP

Having lost much blood in the theatre, I was soo weak that I could barely walk myself to the private ward were I needed to rest. Tina held me by my shoulders as I took one step at a time. I felt soo guilty that I let go of the innocent life in me without been given a choice to keep him. I was hurt but the deed has been done. On getting to the ward, everywhere was soo blurred and I couldn't see anything clearly "help me am dying" I cried out to Tina as I lost consciousness again.
"You gave me a scare"
she started as she felt my body temperature. I was too tired to even say a word as I maintained a fixed gaze at the ceiling while still trying to heal my conscience of the guilt of having killed my own baby. Hot tears kept trickling down my face. My eyes were swollen from crying as nothing she said made sense to me. I needed to see West, that was all I yearned for.
After spending about 2painful days in the hospital, I decided I was done resting and needed to sit my arse up and make a meaning out of my life. West has only been talking to me on the phone with flimsy excuses of but being too busy. Heading to the doctor's office to go take my bills, I saw him discussing with the doctor. If he had been there for long, I wouldn't know but I was happy he was here to take me home. Wearing the broadest of my smile, I walked up to him and he embraced me. In his eyes hid a sad look that he fought soo hard to conceal from me. He ordered me to go sit around while he handled everything pertaining my discharge.
West spent quality time with me, helping me heal and running house errands for me. Tina had travelled as soon as I got home cause she perceived I probably needed time alone with West and she wouldn't want to interfere. She earlier lectured me while in the hospital, how necessary it was for me to start bonding allover again else my relationship would go down the drain which I never wanted.
"Wakey wakey"
West said as he dropped the tray of breakfast on my bedsheet. He made some scrambled egg and oat meal. I got up lazily and smiled, truly he had made up for the hurt and pains I went through. I couldn't tell him that anyways lest he changes and stopped being nice, he had to work a little more. I curled back in bed like I wasn't hungry and he quickly attended to me.
"All you need is a bite of the egg baby, you are doing good"
He encouraged but I still lay in bed wishing he knew I just wanted to be cuddled. After several attempts to get me up, he gave up and joined me in bed. I got what a wanted, a dozen kisses.
"I would be going for a seminar in Hong Kong next week, I wouldn't be leaving you here"
He said as he fed me the last spoon from the plate of oat. I looked at him quite surprised as to how he already concluded I would be going with him without seeking my consents. That was soo Sweet of him, he always has this charm that leaves me wanting all of him the more. I nodded with a smile even though he never asked if I was going or not. I needed space, I sure needed a vacation.

CHAPTER FIVE

Hong Kong with all it's beauties was nothing compared to the bliss and happiness I felt when I was in changdu. Everywhere was looking soo boring and I still hadn't gotten over the bitterness of not being a responsible mother to my embryo. I always tried my best to wear my perfect smiles to avoid his feeling bad and being more remorseful. I needed him to be his real self and not give me a beautiful treat out of pity.
Sitting by the pool and counting my toes while lost in my thoughts, I felt his tender palms massage my back. I loved the feeling and I immediately turned towards him, wearing my first genuine smile since we got to Hong Kong, sadly he did notice.

"Did my baby win some sort of lottery today?"
He asked as he sat beside me and handed me one of the glass of orange he was holding. I was gradually going back to my pathetic state but I still took the wine and held it like a zombie. He tickled me playfully and I became more responsive.

"What are we celebrating?"
I asked as I slowly sipped my wine while trying my possible best to remain all smiles. "Your cheerfulness" he said as he helped me up and took me closer to the pool. Holding me by my waist, he gently pushed me into the pool and dived in immediately. I screamed in excitement, I actually needed this little recipe to get me back to my feet.

After a great evening devouring Cantonese roasted Duck recipe in one of the famous Hong Kong restaurants called Cui Hua Palace, we were so satisfied as the roasted duck was superb. It was truly delicious and we need to order it in advance. I had a good time though I ended up being very tipsy after gulping few glasses of alcohol in a famous bar district in lan kwai Fong. Falling on the high soft bed covered with a fluffy duvet, I kept rolling till I fell asleep without the slightest idea that my man wasn't in bed with me.

After some hours of sleep, I could hear some noises from downstairs. It seemed a customer was having a real bad quarel with one of the hotel managements. I slowly opened my eyes and while still trying to gain full consciousness, I realised West was still not in bed with me. I could hear him laughing soo hard in the toilet and I figured he was on a call.

I wanted to go eavesdrop but on a second thought, I decided to Still lay on the bed and watch how things play out. Having stayed for about 3minutes and he still wasn't out save from the occasional opening of the door maybe to know if I was still fast asleep. I acted my best but I was fast loosing it and my curiousity was already getting a better part of me. Tip toeing to the doorstep, all I heard was "Alright dear, we would talk tomorrow". Who the hell was he talking with? I asked myself as I slowly walked back to the bed. He opened the door just as I made to sit on the bed.

"Who the hell where you with on the phone and where in God's name have my baby been?"
I asked while trying to surpress the anger that was already welling up in my chest. He didn't talk to me, he just stood staring at my eyes and smiling sheepishly. I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me he was cooking up lies for me

"Where!?" I shouted but he held me and kissed my lips. He wouldn't let me say a word. West has always been like this, always having a way of calming my fears and my bitterness. I wasn't moved but I was more relaxed and had a grib on myself as I searched his eyes for answers.

"My sweetheart was all drowsy and ended up sleeping" he coughed then continued "I was bored and I went downstairs" he said while looking at me to ascertain if I bought what he said. My face was expressionless, a fresh annoyance was building up even as I tried to be my coolest.

"And the long long hours of calls?" I asked while I turned away and sat on the bed. He was clueless of what to say but he sure was ready for me. He came sat beside me and robbed my shoulders softly.
"My love" he started, I was not moved but still kept a straight face "sweetheart" he continued, this time I smiled. I loved him a lot and the fear of his falling out of love for me nor having an affair would send me to the world beyond. Everything about West fascinates me, I was soo head over heels with him that all he does were so special and perfect to me.

"You know I love you right" he said and a nodded and cuddled myself to the beer hug he offered. While still in his embrace, he swore he would never do a thing to hurt me, how his life depends solely on me. He kept blabbing, kissing and in all, he ended by saying it was an urgent office call from his colleague. I wasn't ready to keep pressing him as he has sworn a lot of loyalty to me already just for a single doubt I had on him, I was ready to let it go and remain my happy jolly self..
I got up to UnCloth cause I slept off quite too early without freshening up. He helped me with my Zips then unlocked my bra "you are beautiful" he gushed as he threw the bra on the chair. He swiftly turned me around to face him, then he kissed one of my nipples while handling the other breast. I was getting too wet allover as I could feel the slippery discharge stain my panties. He kept looking at my face as he fondled the breast and watched me moan softly.

"Ohhh stop baby, I still feel sore" I said amidst moans. West hasn't touched me for over 2months ever since I had an abortion. I had always declined all advances from him because I feared I would get pregnant again or worst still start bleeding from square one. This time, he wasn't ready to listen to me, we had a perfect scenario that evening, we were both still tipsy and I wanted it as much as he does. He slowly ran his hands down my spines as he moved it down to my pants, slowly handling my clits. I felt so embarrassed as he had already seen I was in dare need to be touched by him, the man who meant the world to me. He let his fingers slide inside of me as he kept making few gentle thrusting with them.

I was moaning my voice away "Bleep me already west " I pleaded with much pleasure in my voice. Slowly, he turned my back and made me place my hands on the bed while he took me from behind. He had all of me as I kept squirting and soiling the bedspread with my discharge. It all led to an unimaginable pleasure which later ended in the bathroom.

We had a few more touches while I had my bath and we retired to the bed for the night. Hong Kong wasn't bad after all, our trips has always been worth it and I vowed to give him a special treat of a simple vacation from my own pocket anytime soon.

Thanks for the update

I wasn't ready to be back to Beijing, I still wanted to see the world. I have been much more if myself ever since the sex escapades the previous night and I bluntly refused the idea of our travelling back."We could be running low of cash" west tried to buy me over but I knew better to pay a deaf eye and handed him two flight tickets I already purchased. "And what could this be?" He asked even when it was obvious he was holding a travel ticket. "Would you refuse me an offer to spoil my munchkin" I said as I caressed his jaws.

"We would have loads of fun in SouthWest China, we could go hiking, drive a bike, stay happy and refreshed " I said while trying to convince him on why he needed to make the short travel with me. He smiled and reminded me he was going because he sees I was never going to accept a no. I felt happy it was a Yes, so I happily packed my bags and his as we waited for dawn do we would take the available flight to Chongqing.

Chongqing also known as Chongking is set to become the most economically important city in West China and is the biggest inland city of the country with plans for even more massive growth. I had visited there about 3consecutive times for one of my Fashion shows.

I had won the best stylist of the year on one of those occassions and I had no one to celebrate my victory with me then, save from fans who admired my creativity in the models. I was going to make a grand entrance to Chongqing with my man and nothing was going to stop me, not even the crazy bills I said was on me, even though I knew West would hear of it anyways.
"Ohhhhh this is soo much fun" I screamed as he drove me with a bike we hired in the South mountain. We were riding in very sloppy hills and as much fun as it was, I was still scared and kept screaming so he would be conscious of his speed limit.


It reminded me soo much of how we met and that made it more worth it. After we had exhausted our energies riding on the bike, we took it by the handle and we took slow stroll back to the base of the mountain where we hired the motorcycle. Clutching my stomach, I reminded him we haven't had anything to eat other than scrambled egg and coffee and that I was super hungry. "I really don't know my way around here" he said while trying to make excuses. "We are going to starve" I said as I watched him return the keys while we held hands and just walked quietly away.

We were looking around to know if we could get good food around and just at the same sight, we met this middle aged woman who had his left hand injured. It looked more like she had a recent accident as she still had bandages tied to her arms. She was waving a flag which inscribed that she sells Liang Mian a traditional Chongqing cold noodles. We were starving and we really could give our eyes now in an exchange for a meal. We quickly went to her and she led us to her restaurant which was a stone throw from where she stood. She kept smiling at us as she served us, maybe she felt we were newly wedded and certainly on a honeymoon. Whatever it was, I knew our presence reminded her of a pleasant past.


We devoured our Liang Mian hungrily and I quickly paid even though he made for his wallet. The Lady drew me to a corner and whispered to my ears "you have a good man with you" she smiled and continued "be the best for him" she concluded as she gifted me a plate of the cold noodles. We thanked her and started heading to the hotel where we lodged..


"What did the Lady say to you" West asked with a kin eyes to ascertain the reason behind the unexpected gift. "Nothing to worry about" I said with a smile on my face as I held his hands tightly "she likes you that's all" I said as we continued walking down to the side if the road where we would get a cab."so the noodles are for me alone" _he said as he playfully dragged the bag with me. "You must be kidding" I said as we laughed.


It was getting real dark and we still haven't gotten a cab to take us back. We weren't much in dare need of it anyways, we should have gotten but we were more engrossed with the walks as it offered us the opportunity to have a clearer view of the beauties of Chongqing. We even walked past the People's Liberation Monument which is on of the famous landmark of Chongqing and the only monument in China to comemorate the victory of Sino-Japanese War with a history of over 50 years.


Feeling extremely tired to even lift my legs, we went to a close by restaurant called the Chongqing xian guan. It was soo attractive to West cause their waitresses reminded him of the day he took my pride as a woman and wouldn't believe a lady my age was still a virgin in Beijing. They all wore the Chinese quipao which complimented their bodies and attracted a good number of customers to them. I had a short eye contact with one of the waiters who were also dressed in Chinese suites. He was flirting with me with his eyes and I felt quite uncomfortable.

West certainly would have his head served in a platgangeriblack sesame soup, should he find out what the young lad was up to. We quickly ate our order of Nam ngiao which I didn't really find delicious, though the environment and the soft music covered up alot of faults I found in the dish we ate. After our quiet meal which we ate in a hurry, I made to go use the rest room when I noticed the young waiter was following me

"Can I help you?" I asked while feigning a smile. He kept looking at me then sighed. " you look soo much like my elder sister " he said as he drew closer, "awwhn and where is this my doppelganger?" I asked while beating my mind for ever thinking the opposite as to a waiter flirting with me..

"She is late" he replied as he held my palms up and sighed again "Yoora did have a very unique mole between her fingers" he said as he left me. He had this look of sadness and I could bet his day was already ruined at the sight of me. " I could be your nana," I said while doing my best to console him. "Nothing to worry about miss" he said as he made to leave.

I wrote down my number and made him promise to always call whenever he needed to talk to his sister.
As soon as I handed him the piece of paper to which my phone number was written, West came rushing in like he suspected I could be doing something funny. He did trust me a great deal, who wouldn't after being the first to see my womanliness. He was a very jealous lover who can't even stand I receive a handshake from an opposite sex. "Hey baby, you ain't done yet" he asked as he quickly drew nearer in a bid to have a clearer view of the guy I was talking with.


"I would give you a call" he said as he hurried to leave. "You haven't even told me your name " I replied as he walked past West, "am Kim" he replied as he exited the convenience. I looked at my man and I saw this funny jealous look. His eyes were searching for answers in mine but I wasn't ready to feed his curiosity yet. I entered the Female toilet and relieved myself of both the stress and accumulation of waste. It's going to certainly be a long night of explanations I thought as we left.

@ Sapphireprincess please would you still complete "without promises" ?

Thanks for the update

@ Sapphireprincess please would you still complete "without promises" ?

yes dear I will... Am kinda having a writer's block over there which is why I started this one but I will get it over with soon.

CHAPTER SIX

Kim's consistent calls were beginning to get on my nerves. He calls when am asleep, awake even in the toilet. I couldn't tell him off because I knew what it meant to lose a loved one as I lost my mom when I was eight. I would pester, even go leave with anyone who was a striking resemblance to the woman who bore me.

My mom was a role model, very slow to anger and swift to over pamper me. I was her only seed before she died while giving birth to my baby sister who also died few days after birth. I guessed mommy came and took her cause the baby died in her sleep.
Every moment with my mom was a blessing, she fed me with much love and care that my dad was quite envious I was getting all the attention from his wife, my mother.

I remembered my 6th birthday, mommy had made alot of dishes and had invited her friends to come over, I was soo naughty that I ate up part of my cake and the other part left wasn't looking nice at all, as I had scattered them to bits. Daddy was very mad at me that he had to cancel my party and had me locked up in the room. I cried our roofs down, my mom was here to be found. She had gone out to ensure everything was well organized.

I could remember how she had a serious quarrel with daddy all because of me. Regardless of what I had done, she still unlocked the crying me, treated me to a nice bath cause I still had a lot of reddish icing sugar lithered allover my body and my lips. My mother kept kissing me and telling me how special I was and how she would ensure my day wasn't ruined, a day I wanted to ruin unknowingly.

Having had everything sorted out, I was still moody cause my daddy wouldn't talk nor play with me. I had gone to my mom to tell her and that was when she reprehended me lovingly. I felt deeply sorry and rushed to apologize to my daddy. He was pleased I did and then he learnt they were several ways a child could be corrected other than an obvious violence.

"Awww not again" I said softly as I angrily hung up the call. I was in the middle of a meeting that could fetch me fortunes in Shanghai should my proposals be accepted and the contract being awarded to me. "Every piece of the fabrics would have this spiral patterns as their major designs" I concluded as I closed the book I was reading from. Everyone applauded me as I retired to my sit. I had confidence in my design project so I expected I would be the one handling the contract.

"I have been meaning to beg you that you come over to our place so we could take a family picture" Kim said with a shaky voice and obviously expecting a No for an answer. "Hopes I haven't been more of a nuisance lately?" He quickly added. All this while, I haven't said a word on the phone, I kept mute and listened to all he had to say.

"Ma'am you ain't saying anything" he said as I quickly returned from my memory lane "ehwww" I stammered while still trying to find my words " I would have loved to" I continued "but you know what darling, I don't leave in Chongqing and am sorry from the dept of my heart, I can't do it" I said softly but stern enough for him to get my point.

I had lunch with West to catch up with, so I hurriedly left the company and headed to our usual spot. We had gone out there a couple of times and their services is topnotch allover Beijing. I could hear the sweet tunes playing from their decoder just before I stepped in.

The smell of their haulatang soup filled the atmosphere that I was tempted to make my orders before West arrives as I was really hungry. Looking out the window, I could still see the petrol station that got burnt few weeks again killing over 30people. I wondered what could have been my fate and that of West if we hadn't quarreled the evening prior to the day that station got burnt.

He had kept calling that faithful day but I wouldn't pick. I focused more drawing my patterns and trying to book a flight online to Seoul where I wanted to go buy my materials. Having called severally, he met me in the house and seeing I wasn't ready to go have Lunch with me, he decided to cook with what I had in my kitchen.

All the while he was sweating his body away while trying to fix the meal, I didn't say a word to him but on several occasions, I would act like I wanted to go get water and then I stare at him, pretend I was still blunt and go continue with my designs. I would give him a side eye then smile to myself that indeed he was my best decision and I was never going to let anything come between us.

Just before he was done, I tiptoed and embraced him from the back. I guess he must have felt super satisfied cause he quickly turned, grabbed me by my arse, brought me closer to his chest and kissed me deeply. Having released me from the tight grip, he quickly said "baby am sorry" . I wouldn't want to elongate the issue beside his dishes were always worth accepting his apology. I quickly nodded and that settled it.

Sitting to a sumptuous noodle, we heard the news!. Hoolee petrol station just got burnt and it claimed lots of lives. West had his food hanging on his lips, he couldn't chew nor swallow, same as me. We were both too shocked to say a word. This was a station opposite our favorite restaurant and from the report gathered, a good number of victims who lost their lives too were inside the restaurant.

If only we didn't have issues, we would have been in the news for the wrong reasons.
"Let's keep up our quarrels" West said after our meal as he switched off the television. "Ohhh dont talk silly" I replied. I still couldn't say a word,I hate to hear bad news especially when it has to do with the death of someone let go when its involved alot of people. I cleared the dishes and we remained sobber the rest of the day.

This restaurant was just opened a couple of days back and as loyal customers, we were already patronizing them like nothing ever happened. Having waited for about an hour or more, I was already impatient and running late for my next meeting in Frontiersman Company. I quickly ordered Chicken breast stew and ate quite swiftly as I was already behind scheduled time.

Wondering what could have kept West from coming and causing a delay for me for all of my schedules, I nearly got rammed by a moving Van but I fast enough to restrain myself. As expected, I was late for the meeting and one of my rivals who was also in the same business as myself was already there before me. She had wonderful designs that I couldn't help but admire but mine if only I was given the chance was more preferable. Thanks to my man, I lost an extra cash!.

On my way home, I kept cursing West for making me lose at such a big opportunity and I was going to make him pay. Come to think of it, we haven't spoken on the phone the entire day and though I felt like a loser for not getting the deal and most of all losing to my enemy who would always keep robbing it to my face that she beat me to my own game, I still knew something a lot more exciting was missing in my life and that was West's voice.

I picked up my phone from the back side of my jean pocket and tried calling his number but my phone fell from my hands and crashed on the hard tar floor. I tried to power on after picking it and having a clearer view on how badly damaged the phone screen was. I sighed and returned the phone to my pocket as I opened my door.

"Wow," I exclaimed as I saw the beautiful decorations and paintings in my sitting room. This must be nobody but West! Why is he such a Darling. I walked around and inspected all he did to my house and it was just a beauty to behold.

My house was sparkling clean and free of dust!, new paintings and interior decorations, he even went as far as doing my laundries, arranged my wardrope and setting my bed with a cripsy clean red and white flower designed bedspread. He knew of my love for red and of cause white which I call perfect.

My phone was spoilt, so I couldn't call my Man to appreciate his kind gestures. "He would sure come around" I said to myself as I undressed and headed to the bathroom. There he was in the bath tub, with roses covering the surface of the foamy water that his his perfect muscular body. "Awwnn" I said in delight. He was looking soo adorable, always knowing what I would fancy and sure doing them just to keep me happy.

No day with West has ever been boring.
He had a bluetooth headset on which he quickly removed immediately I got in. I could then hear the sweet melody in the lyrics of the song he was listening to. 2 glasses of filled red wine was in a tray pan close to where he was resting his back. This moment really had covered up for my bad day.

The naughty me still said "and I spent my entire day waiting at the restaurant". I blame myself a whole lot for having a life off romance. I was the lest romantic being you could ever come across, how West endeared to my heart still remained a mystery. " that's too bad to say on a hectic day like this" he said as he came out from the tub and I could see beneath his perfect.

I was stake nude too but I doubt if my body was as alluring as his which was all wet, dripping with foams allover and having this sweet Lily's fragrance.
He came to me and held my waist, kissed my forehead then held me by my hands as we walked into the tub. The feeling was out of the world.

I had a bath tub in my house yet what it valued I never knew not until this fateful evening. I let myself savour the moment and with every massage my body got from his hands led to forgetting a single thing that made my day bad.
While resting on his chest, after a warm bath and an excellent evening, I felt it was wise I shared my woes with him as he was the sole reason why it happened to me.

The more I stated about it, the more he made me feel I was making a mountain out of a mole hill. I gave up explaining and ended it with a note of finalty that I needed a compensation of his taking me to his house and I get to see the people that matters to him.
I have heard stories of how amazing lovers ghosts can be to their living partners and I sure wouldn't want to be a victim.

Every time I raised such issues as to getting to know where he lives, he always jokes that he fell from the skies but I haven't really been in dare need to find out anyways and that always leave everything settled cause I don't get to bother. Now things were getting different as I needed no fortuneteller to tell me West was my better half. I needed to know everything there is to know about the man I would be settling with and I couldn't imagine I can't even boast of knowing his apartment.

"Baby, I leave in the slumps and I share my room with guys"he said rolling his eyes then kissed me and continued " they are indeed crazy guys, am a very jealous person so I wouldn't be comfortable having you around them" he said with a look of finality. He was ruining the moment and he knew it so he tried his best to tickle me but I declined. I was getting some what pissed but I had to gain my composure

"So that's the flimsy excuses for keeping me away where you stay?" I asked while hoping he changes his mind. I stares for answers in his face but it just provided none, then I continued "Baby you work, you are comfortable and should I stress it, you are Microsoft assistant Manager, what business do you have in the slumps?" I asked as I stood up from the bed and held his hands "if you can't give yourself a treat, let me do that for you please, I could help get a house around here" I said and waited to see what he would say to me.

He smiled and got up too, then kissed my lips "you are simply the best" I smiled as he paddled my emotions "when am ready to live this luxurious life you want of me, I sure would let you know" he said and that was all I all I needed to know my man would get responsible soonest and it atleast made me feel more at ease knowing things might be right in no distant time and he would do the right thing.

I wanted to be more involved with every single thing about him while I keep doing all I could to be the best for West. The words of the food vendor in Chongqing with an injury in her left arm kept ringing in my mind.

"He is a good man" I thought to myself and so am going to keep him. Having listened to his rantings, I hugged him and assured him I was going to stand by him. He didn't look satisfied with my words but he still planted a warm kiss on my cheeks. "I would be going to represent my company in Japan, and trust me I would be soo incomplete without you" he said as he played with my earlobes using his fingers.

"When would that be?" I asked nonchalantly but quickly wore a smile that he barely noticed but kept talking " that should be month end" he said as he drew me alot closer to himself that I feared I might be locked up in his body. "I would let you know before then" I said but it was obvious he never accepts a No cause he simply added "like you have a choice?".

I smiled cause I immediately knew West has discovered all my soft spots and all the keys to my heart, he sure had it, but I was now more determined than ever to try being blunt at times, maybe it would get him to do the right thing. I threw a pillow at him and he retaliated, the pillow fights started, it lasted soo long that I was to exhausted to even notice my phone has been begging for my attention.

Looking at the screen, I discovered that Tina had been calling my line for about 5consecutive times and I was busy having a playful time. I knew my friend, it was so unlike her, she can never call you more than twice as she would just assume it was either you were not with your phone or you are probably avoiding her calls for reasons best known to you.

" could she be safe" I thought to myself as I lay back on the bed and made to call her "who was that on the phone" Wesflinged fixing a gaze at me, "that was Tina" I replied quite immediately my phone began ringing again. West took my phone from me and it looked to see who it was.

With a look of disappointment, he flinged my phone on the bed and started "Yin what was the lie for?" I looked at him surprisingly cause I understood nothing he was saying "what's that supposed to mean?" I asked and he angrily replied "you could look me in the face and lie to me after all we shared" my heart sank at those words. My man loves me a lot that he harbours lots of insecurities, I tried to smile but he wasn't done talking as he was so determined to keep me in the dark while shading my caller black.

"You should have told me you are seeing someone else, and of all eligible people that it could be, why that liar in disguise?" I still wasn't getting his point but I quickly replied that I wouldn't have him insult me. It was then he opened up to ask me what I could be dóing with a common waiter in Chongqing who obviously has brainwashed me into thinking I was his non existence late Sister's doppelganger. I smiled when I knew were his annoyance was coming from. I assured him I had no business other than a hello.

West wanted me to prove it by putting a call to Kim which I did . "satisfied now?" I said as I hung the call, he was all smiles and nodded. "I wouldn't want to lose you" he said as he cuddled me in bed, "you mean the world to me and I doubt you know it" he continued as he held me closer with a firm grip on my waist. "I love you West" was all I could recall I said as a goodnight. I totally forgot everything about Tina's call and it sure did cost me a lot.

I think West has lot of skeletons in his cupboard
