Raymond
"Why would Ashley do this to me? Why? After everything we've been through together. This is how she chose to repay me after all these years." I lamented.
It's heartbreaking. What will I do? I muttered. I have shared out some invites to all and sundry telling them about our big day and now, this is what I get.
What was my offence? Was it a crime to be with one lady? I tried my possible best to be true to this lady. Just look at me right now.
Silver was right about this. Why didn't she tell me earlier? If she was truly looking out for me, why did she choose to tell me at the dying minute?
This is totally unfair. Life itself is cruel, and this one is a disaster. As I drove, the beautiful memories Ashley and I had kept flooding in.
Tears flowed from my eyes like a river and I couldn't help but cry. Thank goodness the screen was locked so as to allow me to cry to the fullest.
I deserve to cry even as a man. We do hide it sometimes and come out strong after that. I tune in to some Westfield album titled "my love."
A hole is definitely in my heart and I don't know what to do. I needed a shoulder to lean and cry on. Someone that everything will be alright.
Who would have thought that Ashley would do this to me. She is so pure that you won't even notice any loopholes.
I still can't believe she did this to me. But I will have to accept the truth. The truth will always be painful but we can't pretend not to know them.
I stopped driving when I saw the red signal. I decided to text Silver to enquire from her if she is at home. I don't have any choice. I just needed someone to be around me so that I won't break down.
A text popped up on my phone and I opened it. Silver had asked me to come to her house and that she would be there in a jiffy.
Is she gonna leave her work just to be with me? I thought. This lady is unbelievable. I could have just gone to a bar to take one or two shots.
Anyways, since she wants me to be at her place today, who am I to decline? I ignited the engine immediately, the red sign switched to green and I zoomed off.
When I arrived, Silver's car was already packed. It seemed she was ahead of me. That was so fast. Probably she must be in the house.
I got out of my car and headed to the door. The door creaked and i knew that someone must have tampered with it.
The door eventually opened revealing Silver. She had popped out her face to be sure I was the one before opening it widely to let me in.
She had worn a skimpy mini skirt which accentuated her curves. Babe is damn hot. Her man must be all over her. I soliloquized.
"So any news?" Silver asked, swaying her hips as she counted her steps.
"The news is that I went to her house and her parents told me that they were making some marriage preparations for her and her new fiancee. They don't want me to be her man anymore." I cried out.
"You see, I told you but you won't listen to me." Silver blurted.
"But how did you come to know all these? Did she tell you herself?"
"No, she didn't tell me, her parents told me when I went to check up on her. I was mad at her when I heard that shit."
"Did you confront her about that?" I asked curious.
"Why would I do that? She asked. I'm her best friend for crying out loud. She is meant to give me some heads up first but she failed to do that."
"Is that so? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Yes, I had to pretend as though I'm not aware of anything till she told me herself. I waited but heard nothing from her. And that's the reason I told you."
"Thank you for alerting me. What would I have done without you?" I said.
"It's nothing Raymond. But there is something."
"Which is?"
"Whenever you see her, act like you know nothing okay."
"Alright. I will do just that." I said.
She beamed with a smile and pulled me into a tight hug. I was suffocating and needed some fresh air. I had to detach myself from her.
"Hope you would be spending some night here?" She asked, gazing at me.
"No, I have a home." I replied.
"It doesn't matter. You can spend the night here then tomorrow you take off. Alright."
"I would think about it." I said.
"If you need anything, just let me know."
"I need to freshen up."
"Alright, follow me, let me take you to the guest room."
"I walked behind her to the guest room. The room looked super amazing. I guess she planned all these because I can see some male clothings."
As if she knew what I was thinking, she said, "all you need are here to aid your comfortability."
"Thank you so much Silver."
"Don't mention. She said in between smiles. Let me go and make some food."
This lady must be really nice and down to earth unlike my previous assumption of her.
I went to the bathroom and allowed myself to be immersed with the downpour of water from the nozzle.
After having some cool showers, I came out from the bathroom tying a white towel on my waist.
My lips formed an oval of surprise when I raised my head to behold a sight, "what is going on here?"
